The Maine Law covering Violation of Privacy can be described as a peeping Tom law. Looking in someone else's window is commonly characterized as being a "peeping Tom." Violation of Privacy has more depth than "peeping" . Violation of Privacy, according to Maine Law, is recording someone who otherwise has a reasonable expectation of not being recorded such as in our homes, department store changing rooms, and public restrooms.
Violation of Privacy can have serious consequences. If convicted of a criminal charge, you will have a criminal conviction added to your permanent criminal record. Under specific circumstances, Violation of Privacy conviction can get you designated as a sex offender. Sex offenders are required to register publicly under Maine's SORNA law for a period of 10 years up to a lifetime.
If you or someone you know is facing criminal charges of Violation of Privacy, you should consider contacting The Nielsen Group for your free legal consultation with an experienced sex crimes defense lawyer.
A charge of Violation of Privacy can have serious consequences. This article will provide a high level overview of the key concern. After the article, you should understand what steps you can take to help your defense:
- Does the Maine Law: Violation of Privacy protect my computer information?
- What is the Status for Violation of Privacy?
- How can a sex crimes defense attorney help?
Please be in contact with your questions that we did not go over in this article. Our goal is to provide you with an honest assessment of your case at your initial consultation.
Does Violation of Privacy protect my Computer Information?
No, This Maine Statute for Violation of Privacy does not cover the issue of privacy online or your computer privacy. There is a different area of law that addresses that online privacy.
What is the Statute for Violation of Privacy?
Under Maine Statute 17-A M.R.S.A. Section 511, Violation of Privacy is a Class D misdemeanor. The Statute reads:
A person is guilty of violation of privacy if, except in the execution of a public duty or as authorized by law, that person intentionally:
- Commits a civil trespass on property with the intent to overhear or observe any person in a private place;
- Installs or uses in a private place without the consent of the person or persons entitled to privacy in that place, any device for observing, photographing, recording, amplifying or broadcasting sounds or events in that place;
- Installs or uses outside a private place without the consent of the person or persons entitled to privacy therein, any device for hearing, recording, amplifying, or broadcasting sounds originating in that place that would not ordinarily be audible or comprehensible outside that place; or
- Engages in visual surveillance in a public place by means of mechanical or electronic equipment with the intent to observe or photograph, or record, amplify or broadcast an image of any portion of the body of another person present in that place when that portion of the body is in fact concealed from public view under clothing and a reasonable person would expect it to be safe from surveillance.
Let's walk through the detailed legal description of violation of privacy piece by piece. Here, a "private place" means a place where one may reasonably expect to be safe from surveillance. A "private place" includes, but is not limited to, changing rooms, dressing rooms, bathrooms, and similar places. A special caveat here is that if you are convicted of the offense under the section involving recording underneath other people's clothing, this offense will trigger mandatory registration under Maine's SORNA law.
The following are possible examples of what a Violation of Privacy could look like:
- The defendant trespasses on his neighbor's property to place a video camera with audio outside the neighbor's bathroom window looking inside.
- The defendant installs a video camera inside a department store changing room. Only the defendant knows that the camera is there.
- The defendant installs an audio recorder inside a public bathroom to hear the sounds and conversations occurring in the public bathroom.
- The defendant uses a recording device in
public, snapping photographs of underneath other people's clothing.
- If convicted of the offense involving taking pictures under the clothing, this would trigger SORNA designation.
An important element to the crime of Violation of Privacy is the state of mind of the defendant. Did the person mean to do it? A good criminal defense attorney will take this into consideration when determining your legal defense strategy.
Maine law recognizes a narrow affirmative defense to this charge. If the person being photographed is at least 14 years old and has consented to the surveillance, then it is not a Violation of Privacy. In other words, if the subject of the recording agrees to being photographed or recorded, then it is not a Violation of privacy. Violation of Privacy is not criminal when such recording devices are used for law enforcement purposes, such as in an ongoing investigation.
If convicted of Violation of Privacy, the maximum penalties for a Class D misdemeanor conviction includes up to $2,000.00 in fines and up to 364 days jail time. If convicted under the statute paragraph involving recording under people's clothing, then the collateral consequences would also require mandatory sex offender registration under SORNA.
How Can a Criminal Defense Attorney Can Help?
If facing a criminal charge of Violation of Privacy, you could end up with a criminal record, or even a registered sex offender. A criminal record and sex offender registration are things that can limit your life and employment opportunities. If you go to Court alone, the State will want you to enter a guilty plea as charged. For these reasons, you need to fight the charge against you, and you need someone with the expertise to advocate for you at Court.
- Are all of the elements of the crime met? In other words, can the State meet all of the elements of the statute to convict? A criminal defense attorney will evaluate your case again the elements of the law and explain to you where your case lies with the evidence collected.
- Is the State's evidence only circumstantial? The evidence needs to point to the defendant for a conviction. If the evidence is not clear, then this is significant.
- Where is the recording in question? From a criminal defense perspective, when the crime contemplates a video or audio recording, the State should be able to produce that recording.
What are the Potential Outcomes for Violation of Privacy?
Here are some potential outcomes for a criminal charge of Violation of Privacy in Maine:
- Deferred Disposition– In some Courts, deferred dispositions are harder to get. In a deferred disposition, a guilty plea is entered and sentencing is postponed for a period of time. During the "deferment" of the sentence, you are expected to exhibit good behavior and jumping through certain hoops. If successful, then after the "deferment" period you can get a dismissal of the charge at the end, or other beneficial outcome.
- Plea Deal– In a plea arrangement or plea deal, the State agrees to convict on a modified or different charge than the one that was charged initially.
- Jury Verdict– A jury is a finder of fact, and one way to determine whether in fact there was a reasonable expectation of privacy, and thus a Violation of Privacy, is to put the case in front of a jury. A jury verdict determines final guilt or innocence.

Darrelle Revis returns to Jets with five-year, $70 million deal
After a two-year detour that brought him a Super Bowl ring, Darrelle Revis is heading back to where his career began.
The free-agent cornerback has agreed to terms on a contract with the Jets, his agents announced Tuesday on Twitter. His deal is worth $70 million over five years with $39 million guaranteed, according to the New York Daily News.

— Jimmy (@J1mmyM2) March 11, 2015
Revis, 29, spent the first six seasons of his career with the Jets after they selected him 14th overall in the 2007 NFL Draft. His stock skyrocketed while in New York, where he was named to four Pro Bowls while establishing himself as arguably the league's most dominant shut-down cornerback.
But the Jets and Revis reached an impasse during contract negotiations prior to the 2013 NFL Draft. He was traded to the Buccaneers in exchange for the 13th overall selection (which netted Sheldon Richardson) and a fourth-round pick that year.
It was in Tampa Bay where Revis' career suffered a setback. He played in all 16 games during the 2013 season and was selected to the Pro Bowl with 43 tackles, a sack and two interceptions. But he reportedly butted heads with then-coach Greg Schiano and requested a trade after one season. The Bucs released him instead after they were unable to find a trade partner for Revis and his contract.
Last offseason, Revis turned down a less lucrative offer to return to the Jets and instead signed a one-year, $12 million contract with the Patriots. He returned to shut-down form in New England and was a critical component during the team's Super Bowl run.
The Patriots ultimately were unable to negotiate a contract extension before free agency opened Tuesday.
Revis reportedly drew interest from the Bills and Steelers leading up to Tuesday, but the Jets and Patriots were the two teams that most heavily competed for his services.

Penn State– the university filled with wonderful academics, competitive sports and lots of alumni to accompany it. In some cases we see them at school throughout football video games.

8. Somebody Gets Grossed Out by the Color Red.
commons.wikimedia.orgThis is more of a competition thing. We Penn Stater's do not always like the color red however not due to the fact that bulls' blood runs in our veins. This little custom pertains to us due to the fact that the color red noticeably advises us of a school that trainees and alumni do not actually like that much. If we can use anything that may revive memories of video games with Ohio State, we select not to use it. Red likewise means Temple and Rutgers. Although not as competitive as Ohio State, the competition returns strong. Using that color out can certify as a sin.
7. When The Nittany Lion Appears at a Wedding event.
commons.wikimedia.orgMany romance bloom throughout college. Some last much shorter than anticipated. Others become marital relationships and enjoys that will last a life time. And when it pertains to PSU, the lion constantly makes a look. "The Nittany Lion made a look at my siblings wedding event," stated PSU alumni Janine Kaufman.

5. You Have Actually an Animal Called 'Nittany'.
facebook.comBecause why not? The Nittany Lion, although a mountain feline, belongs in the feline household. When you stumble upon an animal, typically a feline called Nittany, the name sounds uncommon in the beginning. However nope. it's simply an indication that your pal or member of the family went to Penn State. Since why not call an animal after the very best mascot worldwide? It'll just make them cooler.
4. When Individuals Get a Little Too Passionate About Particular Tunes.

When PSU alumni hear the tunes that they like a lot, tears might leakage out of their eyes and their voices can split, due to the fact that no doubt we will sing along. And at really high volumes. Since who does not wish to do the "bachelor's degree, bachelor's degree, bachelor's degree," to Sugary food Caroline?
3. When Absolutely Nothing Can Stop You From Seeing a Video game.
facebook.comWe Are Enthusiastic. Possibly in some cases a little too enthusiastic. Football season comes as soon as a year, anyhow. May too maximize it.

"When the roadways were closed, he drove to the only Sport's Bar that plays the Penn State video games, and after that didn't inform anybody how the water got in his vehicle. For many years. It's a household illness!" Water flooding a street? It can't stop a devoted PSU football fan. Even if damage might happen later on. Oops.
2. When Moms And Dads Motivate Their Kids Not to Use to 'Particular' Schools.
facebook.comFootball competitions provide a severe dedication when signing up with a sports fandom. They can extremely well last till the day we pass away due to the fact that of how we bleed the colors of our school. For alumni of PSU, our colors are blue and white. So you can picture the dissatisfaction if one kid went to a school PSU moms and dads do not like that much (I'm discussing you, Pitt). In some cases, moms and dads may get a little too in on the college choice procedure of their kids, however this occurs with great enjoyable, absolutely nothing genuinely vicious. We simply wish to share the exact same love for the exact same school with our household.
1. When You Hear 'We Are' And Immediately Reply 'Penn State'.
" You constantly scream a 'We Are!' when you see somebody using PSU equipment!" PSU alumni Kim Kulchycki stated. "And they constantly address back 'Penn State!'" Ah, the 'We Are' chant. This makes Penn State, Penn State. The expression comes composed on our magnets, our t-shirts and even our approval letters. However no matter what, this expression will constantly prove out to Penn Stater's as the supreme method to discover our own. No matter what, We Are Penn State. Simply scream it out in any single congested area, and you'll definitely hear somebody reply back. It's as simple as that to get in touch with alumni.

Canadian's have very short memories. In fact Canadian's seem to have a very short attention span and no memories at all. It is hard to believe that we voted for a baby Trudeau as opposed to senior Harper simply because "It is time for a change", but that is exactly what Canadians did.
And in the short time since that event the change has completely destroyed the dollar, the economy, and what little was left of the moral compass of Canadians.
We truly do get the government we deserve – statistically, at least, since it is hard to think that those few Canadians still working for a living actually deserve the world which has been dropped on their heads.
At the time of Harper's last term we Canadians had the healthiest economy, the most robust banking system, a strong dollar and had come through the global recession in better shape economically than any of the G7 or even the G22. Canada was, at the time, rated by various review agencies as one of the most desirable places to live on the planet.
But, as ever, we can always count on the low information, emotional Liberal Canadian voter to snatch utter defeat from the jaws of certain victory. And of course, we should never forget that here in Canada, even the "Conservatives" are far to the left of the U.S. Democratic party – if that is even imaginable.
Most Canadians didn't care because they were, by inclination and choice, mostly unaware of what was going on in the world outside the confines of Metropolitan Toronto and Ottawa as covered and spun by the Holy Canadian Broadcasting Company, the strong arm information ministry of the Liberal Party of Canada, the "Natural Ruling Party". The Soviets had PRAVDA, Canada has the CBC.
Hard to imagine, but for many Canadians, budgeting means making sure you have enough money to go to Timmy's today, and no one here ever heard of an economy, or if they did they certainly won't admit it to their acquaintances over coffee where what is important is having a pleasant conversation with friends – facts are for a-holes.
And seriously folks, why would Canadians care what is actually going on anywhere when we are already, in the famous words of Mary Poppins: "Practically Perfect in Every Way".
David Warren wrote yesterday a poignant piece harking back to the Vietnam War, which addresses the media reality which I have observed every waking moment of my adult life – over 50 years now – that long, eh? Sometimes rather scary to still be alive to regard the swirling horizon as we are sucked ever further down the drain of eternity and the great darkness of much merited deserts beyond. Here is a short snipit of his article: …
"(I made an exception for the photographers, who risked their skins in the field. Often they were surprisingly rightwing. This was because they'd had the opportunity to stare Communism in the face, and understood what the Americans were fighting.
Whereas the writers, romanticizing the Viet Cong (and also the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia), strayed seldom from the comforts of Saigon.)
Mr Davies knew all this. He told me several ear-curling stories, without mentioning his own correspondents. There were decent folk among journalists, to be sure, but the whole trade seemed to be falling into the hands of political operators.
This is what made the "Feer" (as it was known) so necessary. It was trying to get some things right; trying to explain why things were the way they were. This made it more informative than, say, Time magazine, or Newsweek — as much "fake news" then as today, though in those days a little more sophisticated.
Not journalism, only journalisme engagé — Mr Davies said this could be the future. Though light by disposition (the author of such amusing "Traveller's Tales"), for a moment he was dark. He described a spirit of malice; an overwhelmingly destructive attitude of mind; and deriving from that, a terrible, a purposeful blindness.
The engaged journalist can no longer see what is right before his eyes. He makes no concession to realities. He is a political propagandist, for very dark causes. An apparatchik; a fifth columnist; an enemy of civilization, poisoning from within.
This is hyperbole, I thought. (For I was not quite twenty.) It can't be that bad. Nor is it likely to get any worse.
But it was, and it did."
There are a few folks here in Canada, we few, we happy few, who make an effort to stay aware of the world outside our own BBQ pit, the local Tim Horton's, and the tight circle at our daily coffee breaks. We few who don't see the reflection of a narcissistic wanker every time we look in the mirror, or the daily worship pool of friendly conversation devoid of facts and reality.
Having said that, I strongly assert that I Love my fellow Canadians … unbelievable! Yes, I do, I Love my fellow Canadians. And a Facebook post I noticed yesterday concurred, "I love and am proud of my country, but not my Prime Minister".
Every squad, every platoon, every Company, every Battalion, every Ship, every Squadron, all are made up mostly of followers, so it ever has been and so it must be. What followers depend on for direction, knowledge, purpose and moral compass is the quality and strength of their leadership, their officers.
And, politically incorrect as it sounds, it is the responsibility of the leadership, these "officers" both military and civilian to lead their followers in the paths of righteousness, serving the good of the many in spite of their own interests, as Star Trek famously noted "The good of the Many outweighs the good of The One".
And man, with his fallen nature is utterly incapable of determining what that "Good" is, unaided by some Higher Authority. When our betters start to believe that they are actually that higher authority, that they are god, or in military parlance "god actual", it is a sure sign that the followers are doomed.
So how about a little history lesson, one which spans my entire life … not very long in historical terms but infinitely longer than most of the follower's event horizons.
"Once upon a time … In 1940 a young Pierre, son of a wealthy Quebec gas station owner began his political activism supporting the Quebec wing of the Marxist movement.
Young Pierre Elliot Trudeau was a French-educated communist, very much like Ieng Sary, the "Foreign Minister" of the Cambodian Khmer Rouge at that time.
He later changed his allegiance, joining the Quebec wing of the Communist Party (operated and supported by the Soviet KGB). During this time he led a group of like minded Quebecers to a major international communist conference in Moscow.
When questioned by Peter Worthington (of old CBC fame) about his communist activities, he shrugged, suggested it was nothing, and claimed to have thrown a snowball at the statue of Stalin. Worthington pointed out that "Must have been difficult, as there wasn't snow in Moscow all the time you were there".
Trudeau was blacklisted and denied entry to the U.S. based on his Communist activity. When he joined the CCF/NDP they actually believed he would be their candidate and were taken aback when he joined the Liberal Party, reassuring his left wing supporters "The Liberals are only a means to an end". (useful idiots, as Stalin called them)
In 1965 he won election as a Liberal in the Town of Mount Royale. He was appointed Justice Minister in Pearson's government (yes, Justice … from a communist, you may well ask?).
In 1968 he was elected PM and during the entire time he was PM, Canada was never privy to any highly classified western military intelligence.
When he took office in 1968 our national debt was 18 Billion, largely a hold over from the war. 15 1/2 years later, the debt was 200 billion, interest at 25 – 28%, Canadians were losing their homes in record numbers, their businesses going bankrupt. I had family members lose their homes in this economic climate. I remember it well.
Wage and price controls had been enacted and enforced, the energy sector had been nationalized under Petrocan,(rather like Venezuela is now), and our taxes and surcharges were going through the roof.
Of course Canadians believed what their leaders were telling them that they were protected because everything was indexed to the double digit inflation rate and every year everyone got Cost Of Living Allowance added to their new pay rates.
What our national leaders slyly avoided drawing attention to was that the only thing not indexed was the income tax grid, so in the 50's my father could support a family of five with a car and their own home on a wage less than 10,000 dollars a year.
By the time we were done with Trudeau the elder, a father needed over fifty thousand dollars a year and many families had to have both parents working by then just to survive. That was the biggest tax hike in Canadian history and no one even remarked on it, just blindly drinking the Koolaide from the CBC.
Trudeau declared on CBC his admiration for both China and Cuba and when asked about the millions who had died in their slave labor camps, like Stalin and Mao he stated, "Collateral damage is to be expected". !!!
He was a pacifist, kicked out of officer's training for behavior unbecoming an officer. This is the guy who raised this snowflake drama coach we currently call a PM.
"The Truth About Trudeau", is a great book by author Bob Plamondon. It's well worth the read.
It is no coincidence, that stark resemblance between the Red Star emblem of Stalin and Mao and the Red Maple Leaf emblem of Pierre Elliot Trudeau. From any distance they are difficult to tell apart and Canadian vessels were often mis-reported as "Soviet" vessels because of the striking similarity in their emblems.
We desperately need amendments to our constitution. One is recall/impeachment… that would address the principle "tell them what they want to hear, once you're elected you do what you want", which was Pierre's philosophy.
Sorry for the lengthy narrative, I just wish people would inform themselves of who they are voting for. We survived the father but it was day to day, he set us back economically at least 1 or 2 decades. Amazes me we have another Trudeau as PM.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT BEFORE YOU VOTE Again
"plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose" An epigram by Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr in the January 1849 issue of his journal Les Guêpes ("The Wasps"). Literally "The more it changes, the more it's the same thing."
Contrary to popular Canadian opinion and socially acceptable public behaviour codes (political correctness) facts actually do matter, people's true beliefs can be accurately assessed based on their known social associations, friends and acquaintances. Birds of a feather DO flock together and by their works we can and do know them.
Liberal laws, programs, and social policies have now claimed more lives than Hitler's "Final Solution" and Pol Pot's "Killing Fields" put together. Evil is still evil no matter what the hair-doo looks like or the talking heads at CBC might say. Evil is still evil, and we choose every day which side we stand on. This is the reality within which we live.
Not really much to cheer about when you actually think about it, eh?
and still, and still, …

Cancellations and No-Shows can cost the average doctor in excess of $100,000 a year in lost productivity.

Because you're solving the wrong problem!
There is a REAL underlying reason behind the majority of patient cancellations and no-shows, which no amount of confirmation calls will fix.
Attend the Real Solution to Cancellations and No-Shows Seminar and solve this problem for good!

The formal continuing education programs of this program provider are accepted by AGD Fellowship, Mastership and membership maintenance credit. Approval does not imply acceptance by a state of provincial board of dentistry or AGD endorsement. The current term of approval extends from 4/1/2018 to 3/31/2021. Provider ID# 305927. SUBJECT CODE 550. METHOD "L"
|"I'd have to say that cancellations and no-shows were our number one problem. We tried all of the "tricks" (double confirmations, etc.) but nothing really worked – it seemed like there was nothing effective we could do about it. When we became MGE clients, we learned exactly how to handle this problem. Now, with everything we've learned at MGE, cancellations and no-shows are very rare and our collections have more than tripled!" – Vladimir Gashinsky, DDS Linden, NJ
|"Before MGE we struggled with a 50% cancellation rate, inconsistent production, too many write-offs and poor profitability. With what we learned from MGE, cancellations and no-shows are infrequent, we've dropped all of our PPOs and HMOs, and collections have increased by over 1000%" – Maryam Seifi, DDS Rockville, MD
|"We're more organized, efficient, and really just happy. More patients follow through with their treatment!" – Quyen Dao, DDS Falls Church, VA
|"The information we learned from MGE completely changed the way we approach our schedule. Now production is consistently high, new patients sign up for and get started on treatment right away, and cancellations are at a minimum! MGE's scheduling method was a key factor in quadrupling our production." – Justene Doan, DDS San Diego, CA
Dr. Aleksandr Dayanayev, along with his partner Dr. Albert Malakov, opened the doors to their practice in 2000. Over the following decade, they went through virtually every stress, problem, or difficulty a dentist in practice could possibly experience. In 2010, Drs. Dayanayev and Malakov enrolled in the MGE Power Program to master the business side of dentistry. In just three years, they dropped all of their HMOs (18,000 patients!) while nearly tripling their collections (from approx. $1.3 million/year up to $3.6 million/year) and seeing more than 150 new patients per month! An entertaining and informative speaker, Dr. Dayanayev has most importantly been in "the trenches" himself and knows exactly what it takes for any dentist to achieve growth and fulfillment.
Being the son a dentist and a having professional background in management, Neil possesses a unique insight into dental practice growth and management. After completing his management education, Neil joined MGE, one of the largest dental practice management training firms in the world, to work with his dad, Dr. Greg Winteregg. Since then, Neil has consulted or lectured to thousands of dentists and their teams on the subjects of case acceptance, PR and management. With business of dentistry in his DNA Neil knows how to help any dentist take their practice tothe next level!

After a 2NT opening (or 2♣-2♦-2NT or 2♣-2♦-2♥-2♠-2NT playing Kokish Relays), what do you use the 3♠ bid to mean?
One way I have heard, as described here, is to play 2NT-3♠ as a relay to 3NT as a sign-off or to show a one suited minor or 5-5 in the minors. Therefore, 2NT-3NT is a relay to 4♣ to show 5-4 in the minors. (2NT-4♠ shows 4-4 in the minors and a raise to 4NT or better.)

Vernaccia and Chianti Colli Senesi, the most representative union of Tuscany
"an old peasant farm restored to the capabilities of a time"
"The Palagione is an ancient farm dating back to 1594, located along the scenic road that connects San Gimignano to Volterra.
The old farmhouse, located on top of the hill, is registered in the Land Registry as being of special historical value for its unchanged rural architectural characteristics. Until the middle of the last century the families of farmers who worked the surrounding land lived in it.
Chasing a dream, we decided to buy the property for reviving this important agricultural heritage.
In a short time, we renovated the old house and planted the land once planted with vines.
Later we built a winery equipped with the most modern equipment for processing grape respectfully and delicately, and an underground cellar for the best and natural conservation of wines in oak woods and a balanced refinement once bottled.
In the last decade the evolution of each process until we got to a totally organic production.
After the recent acquisition of other vineyards in the area of Montagnana, the company has a land area of approximately 40 hectares of which 17 are devoted to vineyards, 3 to olive grove, 7 with walnut and cherry orchard and the remaining arable land and woodland.
Since 1996 the change... And so we decided to change... Monica, Giorgio, Giulia, Gregorio e Gabrio
The road that brought us to Tuscany, was a busy road, traffic jams after traffic jams, a road where everything needs to be done keeping an eye on the clock and a foot on the throttle, a road where a sequence of buildings , shopping malls and asphalt gives only a glimpse of the opportunity of a green country.
... And so we decided to divert, to give us another chance, to find a place where the seasons leave a clear mark when they end, a place where the passage of time was evident in the changes of the sky, a land with a sweet and gentle landscape , where the colors explode in the summer sun and the scents are enhanced in the autumn mist.
With this dream in the heart we ventured for new paths, less comfortable and fast but able to gift time to those capable of enjoying what they have around: from a cyclamen to the heather or strawberry trees by the broom, from hedgehogs to deers. Hill after hill, we found what we were looking for.
Thus a new bond with the land, ancient at the same time, newly discovered.
The effort that every day the farmers' work claims is reciprocated in abundance: every sense enjoys before the disarming simplicity of a bruschetta with the new oil or a genuine wine.
We wanted get hands dirty, we were tired of paper work.
We wanted not only to be artisans, more than that, we felt the need to shape a living material but first we wanted to be those who produced it.
We wanted to be able to live with the rhythms of nature, accepting the melancholy quietness in winter and then enjoying the explosion of the spring.
We wanted to repeat archaic gestures for the pleasure of feeling nature "inside" and not to be mere spectators: you cut with an eye to the next production, you collect firewood and dry for a few seasons and then burn it, cooking on it, and warming the old farmhouse.
We wanted to be uncomfortable, physically tired, but intellectually serene, intent on a project that would not see immediate results, but is aimed forward with a schedule dictated by nature.
We wanted to give the children the opportunity of a choice without conditions, without pressure, a conscious choice; they were used to the world of industry and services, it was now necessary to show them another life.
And having always loved the wine, the medieval history and Romanesque art, we could not have picked a better place in Tuscany.
The Vineyards
"The vineyards are located in two areas with different characteristics:
Palagione: Vineyards are located in the southernmost area of the City of San Gimignano at an altitude varying from 250 to 350 meters above sea level. with predominant exposure mainly facing North East - East and South.
The predominant qualities are the Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Sangiovese and Prugnolo Gentile.
Geologically it is a typical area originated from a littoral environment; There are sand strata of the Upper Pliocene-rich large fossils, with pebbles, gravels and typical clays. The oldest areas are cavernous limestone of the Triassic.
Montagnana: Walking along the ancient Via Francigena through these vineyards, situated next to the walls of San Gimignano, the eye enjoys breathtaking views in every direction.
The altitude varies from 150 to 250 meters above sea level generally facing South / West.
The predominant qualities are the Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Sangiovese and Merlot.
The presence of a very considerable amount of fossils, together with Pliocene sands with ocher clay and pebbles bring us to a marine past of about 4-5 million years ago.
Not only bio ... for us every single vineyard is!
Since 2007 we apply organic rules and procedures to our olive groves and vineyards: there we came after long and elaborate evolution of our cultivation processes respecting nature and the quality target of the company.
Over the years a careful study of soil has been performed area by area of the property, i.e. a real "zoning" activity; we studied the climatic characteristics of each plot to select the type of grape better suited to that specific "micro-terroir". For example part of ancient clones of Vernaccia were planted in calcareous clay facing north-east to ensure freshness and aroma, Sangiovese and Prugnolo Gentile, in south-facing clay and pebbles rich soil to enhance the structure and elegance.
Since years we have dropped using synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, replacing the first with spontaneous or sown green manure and the second with natural products allowed by the organic directives. We have obtained a proper balance of the vineyards with a production proportionate to the capacity of each individual plant and balanced in the vegetation.
Each vineyard has a name and as each of them has its own characteristics for vine, exposure and nature of the soil, we manage and vinify harvested grapes separately to get what we believe to be the best expression of the territory for that year.
A careful study of maturation through analysis and repeated tastings set the time for harvesting grapes. The process is performed strictly by hand. The selection of the right time to bring grape to the cellar is the first and fundamental step to conduct spontaneous fermentation to maximize the characteristics and uniqueness of our wines.
White grapes are gently pressed after a short maceration on the skins; the must obtained ferments at a controlled temperature never exceeding 16 ° C, and then refines on fine lees with weekly batonnages.
Red grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled tanks of 26-28 ° C, by performing repeated pumping and amalgamated in the early stages of fermentation and then decreased with the approach of the racking which normally takes place after 15-20 days.
The following refinement both in wood and in the bottle, takes place at the underground cellar at a natural temperature and moisture.

If you're thinking of building a new website, you're probably looking at a host of different website builders. While there are plenty of hosting companies and online providers that offer web building services, WordPress never ceases to be one of the leaders of the industry.
It's an excellent content management system that's easy to learn.
But if you want to learn WordPress quickly, it's critical that you get started in the right direction. If you want to know how to learn WordPress, choosing the right resources and tutorials can help ensure you don't waste time going down the wrong rabbit hole!
What Do I Need to Learn WordPress?
Many people ask this question when they first start learning WordPress. You may have read online that you need some experience with HTML and general coding. While this certainly doesn't hurt, you can build an excellent WordPress site without any coding experience or knowledge.
All you really need to learn WordPress is a computer, internet access, and the willingness to focus on building your website. The rest will fall into place if you follow my suggestions on how to learn WordPress. Here are the steps we're going to take:
- Step 1: Set up WordPress
- Step 2: Master the basics
- Step 3: Learn about using themes
- Step 4: Get a grip on plugins
- Step 5: Put it into practice
Step 1: Set up WordPress
Before you can learn how to use WordPress, you need to set up an account so you can play around with its interface.
What you may not realize is that there is both a WordPress.com and a WordPress.org. The difference is that WordPress.com offers hosting services for users, while WordPress.org is the free platform that allows you to better customize and build your platform. You can choose your own hosting provider if you opt to work with WordPress.org.
If you opt to work with a different hosting provider, you'll find there are plenty of other hosting companies that offer superior services. Hostinger, BlueHost, and a range of other hosting providers seamlessly integrate with the WordPress platform.
If you'd like more information on the top WordPress hosting companies, make sure to check out our best hosting providers page.
Once you sign up for WordPress and hosting, the installation process is pretty straightforward. In most cases, you'll simply need to follow the step-by-step installation instructions provided by your hosting company. If you're not receiving clear instructions - take a look at our how to set up WordPress tutorial.
Step 2: Master the Basics
Now that you're hosting and WordPress platforms are set up, it's time to start learning the ins-and-outs of WordPress. As with any new skill, it's best to start with the basics.
If you've never had any WordPress experience, there are a few things you'll need to understand before you can proceed with confidence.
For example, what differentiates a page and blog post? And how does this impact the content management of your WordPress site? If you're looking for information that can help you navigate these essential questions, there are some excellent resources online. You can always start with WordPress.org's very own WordPress Codex.
This Codex is a manual that can help you navigate every component of WordPress. This is one of the most comprehensive WordPress databases available. Best of all, it's completely free of charge; you don't even need to be a current WordPress user to access this database.
You can also find beginner tutorials on WordPress.com. If you head to the https://learn.wordpress.com/ site, you'll find an excellent range of resources on the left-hand side dashboard menu. This is another resource that comes completely free of charge.
Step 3: Learn about Using Themes
If you're completely new to WordPress, there's a high chance that you won't be building a site entirely from scratch. Fortunately, themes can completely change the way your website looks with only a couple of clicks. You can make your website responsive, beautifully designed without any coding practice.
This is one of the core features that ensure WordPress is easy to use for those who don't have web building experience.
There are thousands of themes to choose from. Some are free directly from the WordPress database, while others you can purchase from a range of different online providers. There are entire companies that build highly-functional themes to sell to individuals who need them.
The only hard part about themes is customizing them. If you'd like to find out how to customize your favorite themes, you can access instructional information directly from https://learn.wordpress.com/. If you need help installing your WordPress theme, look at our how to install a WordPress theme guide.
Step 4: Get a Grip on Plugins
Another one of the major components that makes WordPress a highly-functional site platform is plugins. WordPress plugins allow you to easily add features that would typically need to be built by an extremely experienced developer.
If you can think of it, there's probably a plugin for it. You can find plugins to track website data, build online stores, install membership capabilities, accept payments, host contact forms, and more.
If you use the WordPress.org platform, you can download tens of thousands of free plugins. You can also purchase other plugins from external third-party providers. You can then upload these plugins directly to your WordPress site and activate them through your dashboard.
If you want to know how to find and install plugins, we have written a tutorial. It will help you learn how to set up any type of plugin on your WordPress site.
Step 5: Put it Into Practice
Once you understand plugins and themes, most of your work is done. A full understanding of the basics will help provide a platform to customize your site. Now it's time to turn your WordPress site into the perfect online home.
My main advice at this point - get your hands dirty. Spend time playing around with creating posts, exploring the settings, and publishing pages. You'll learn a lot in the process. Just remember - no matter what you want to add to your site, it's most likely possible through WordPress.
Every step of the way, you'll be able to find free WordPress tutorials on our site that can help you fully customize your WordPress website. You'll also have access to WordPress Codex and WordPress.com's tutorials if you need additional assistance with terms of technical issues.
If you're having a problem with integrating something on your hosting platform, you can always contact your hosting customer support team.
Additional WordPress Resources
While using the above recommendations will have you understanding WordPress in no time, there are some other excellent resources available if you're learning how to use its platform.
Our online tutorials also provide an extra platform for you to find step-by-step information that can help you build your WordPress site.
Many first-time users make the mistake of purchasing expensive tutorial packages and programs from online hustlers. But if you want to know how to learn WordPress, you can find most of what you need via free online resources.
Below, I'll overview some other interesting resources that can help bring you up to speed with WordPress.
1. Team Treehouse
Team Treehouse is an online WordPress tutorial database that uses a wide variety of platforms to help you learn basic and advanced WordPress procedures. Team Treehouse also offers more in-depth coding lessons (if this is something that you may be interested in). It can help you take your WordPress skills to the next level.
While its services do cost money, you can access a free trial by signing up on its website. You'll have access to hundreds of different WordPress videos and workshops. It's an excellent partner if you typically prefer learning from a video source.
2. WordPress TV
Many people don't realize that WordPress has its own TV platform that can help you tackle various WordPress problems. If you head to wordpress.tv, you'll be able to access a wide variety of different instructional videos and tutorials. WordPress TV's videos can help make WordPress learning fun.
WordPress TV also provides plenty of other video content that you may find useful if you feel like understanding WordPress in greater detail.
You can find talks on updates and a wide range of additional WordPress-related topics. And don't worry: WordPress TV only has entirely free WordPress tutorials.
How to Learn WordPress: Don't Let the First Hurdles Stop You
If you don't have any experience with website creation, it can be intimidating when you first start learning WordPress. But don't worry, thousands of website owners started building their websites with WordPress without any previous coding experience.
If you follow the recommendations in this article, you should have no problem building an excellent website for your blog or business!
Now that you know how to learn WordPress, it's time to put the steps in motion to form your perfect website. As always, make sure to check out some of our WordPress tutorials if you have questions about building your site. Our step-by-step instructions are perfect for website owners of any experience level.

Home I Why a tribunal ? I How I About us I The signers I Media ICrowdfunding
The Monsanto Tribunal is an international civil society initiative to hold Monsanto accountable for human rights violations, for crimes against humanity, and for ecocide. Eminent judges will hear testimonies from victims, and deliver an advisory opinion following procedures of the International Court of Justice. A parallel People's Assembly provides the opportunity for social movements to rally and plan for the future we want. The Tribunal and People's Assembly will take place between 14 and 16 October 2016 in The Hague, Netherlands.
For an increasing number of people from around the world, Monsanto today is the symbol of industrial agriculture. This chemical-intensive form of production pollutes the environment, accelerates biodiversity loss, and massively contributes to global warming.
Monsanto promotes an agroindustrial model that contributes at least one third of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions; it is also largely responsible for the depletion of soil and water resources, species extinction and declining biodiversity, and the displacement of millions of small farmers worldwide. This is a model that threatens peoples' food sovereignty by patenting seeds and privatizing life.
For a message of Marie-Monique Robin,
patron of the Monsanto Tribunal, in support of the crowdfunding campaign, click here.
According to its critics, Monsanto is able to ignore the human and environmental damage caused by its products and maintain its devastating activities through a strategy of systemic concealment: by lobbying regulatory agencies and governments, by resorting to lying and corruption, by financing fraudulent scientific studies, by pressuring independent scientists, by manipulating the press and media, etc. The history of Monsanto would thereby constitute a text-book case of impunity, benefiting transnational corporations and their executives, whose activities contribute to climate and biosphere crises and threaten the safety of the planet.Read the entire text…..

This potato gnocchi is a great starch for any ragout or tomato sauce. It's a simple and fast fix even if your in a pinch and it blows the packaged stuff out of the water.
Yield: 10 portions
2# Russet potatoes
4ea Egg yolks
10-12oz Bread flour
Pinch Salt, white pepper and nutmeg
1. Bake potatoes at 400°F, until soft. Peel, and purée through large holes of food mill while still hot. Spread out on clean plastic wrap lined sheet pan, and cool.
2. Add egg yolks, melted butter, flour, salt, pepper, nutmeg, to the potatoes. Knead quickly, adding more flour if necessary to make a pliable dough.
3. Test gnocchi for consistency by cooking one small piece of dough in boiling water. If it falls apart add a little more flour.
4. Roll and shape gnocchi by making long ropes of 3/4 inch diameter. Then cut 3/4 inch chunks.
5. If using immediately place on a flour surface covered with a dry towel. You can also freeze them at this point.
6. To cook the potato gnocchi – from raw or frozen – simply place in boil salted water utill the float and then continue to cook them for 30 seconds. When you remove them the water should still be at a rolling boil.
It is a somewhat common misconception that these dumplings are done as soon as they float. If you pull them out prematurely they will be doughy and raw in the center. If you are unsure whether they are cooked, simply cut one in half. You should see that the dough has very small air pockets all the way through. The center should also have the same firm but pillowy texture as the exterior of the dumpling. If they aren't cooked simply place them back in the boiling water for another 30 seconds.

Running your own IT department will mean you're busy - it's a given - but take a step back and examine whether the time you spend being "busy" is actually time spent being "effective"? Whether the "effect" you're creating at the moment is driving the business forward, and is the best use of your time and intellect?
At Xynomix we come across organisations in many sectors who have fallen into the 80:20 trap where 80% of resources are spent on keeping legacy systems up and running and only 20% is dedicated to innovative programmes designed to drive revenue, cut costs or consolidate positions.
We believe that most small-to-mid-size companies are in this trap. We know from 15 years in the business that IT professionals within these companies are frustrated to not be spending time on the exciting challenges that will define your future business: digital transformation, cybersecurity, customer experience, IOT and AI. Which IT Exec wouldn't want to be busy investigating how these innovations and disruptors can accelerate business? But 'keeping the lights on' in a business comes first and means all too often that the IT department is consumed by the familiar.
At Xynomix we enable that repurposing of time, people and money in your organisation to change the 80:20 trap and allow your IT team to advance rather than maintain your business.
Our remote database administration managed services and remote DBA support acts as an extension of your in-house DBA resources. It provides superior remote database administration, management and optimization services and access to database expertise when you need it.
For those companies without DBAs on staff, we can offer full service remote DBA support so that you can be assured your systems are running correctly.
For a predictable investment you can enjoy peace of mind that critical systems are in safe hands, save money on out-of-hours support costs, accelerate problem resolution, minimize downtime, control expense and reduce workload management. The burden on your key IT resources is released, giving them the capacity to concentrate on driving innovation and business. Be busy AND effective: shift the 80:20.
For more than 15 years, Xynomix has provided the Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server community with in-depth expertise, experience, exceptional teamwork and our own database optimization tools supporting our remote DBA Services. We perform remote DBA services for local enterprises at a level others can't match.
Give us a call and arrange a customised DBA support quote, or find out more about our Oracle and SQL Server database managed services.
