The document summarizes research into the effects of fungicide residues on the winemaking process. Researchers analyzed red and white wines for residues of four common fungicides used to treat Botrytis cinerea fungus on grapes. While physical and chemical properties were unaffected, one fungicide (Benomyl) slowed fermentation. Some samples contained fungicide levels that exceeded legal limits for consumer safety.

The document discusses a worst case "bear" scenario where high government debt levels constrain economic growth over the long term, similar to Japan's "lost decade". Key points:
- Global debt has doubled over the past decade and is at all-time highs as a percentage of GDP.
- A Japanese-style recovery of persistent debt, weak growth, low rates could occur if debt is not reduced.
- The US fiscal situation in particular looks dire, with debt projected to exceed 100% of GDP by 2010.
- Recommendations focus on defensive assets that perform well in risk-averse, low-growth environments.
Most lawyers provide advice and legal opinions, negotiate settlements, and draft documents rather than appear in court. Trial lawyers, also called litigators, are those who do represent clients in court. A lawyer may be needed for situations like buying a home, starting a business, divorce, adoption, writing a will, signing a large contract, dealing with accidents, criminal charges, or being a victim of discrimination. If unsure if a lawyer is needed, people can call their local bar association for guidance. Lawyers can be found through referrals, yellow pages, legal directories, or advertisements. Those who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for assistance from legal aid in civil cases or a public defender in criminal cases. Lawyers typically charge hourly fees
The document discusses various statistical terms - average, mean, median, mode, range, total - and provides examples of how to calculate each. It then gives a word problem asking the reader to calculate these statistics for a set of test scores and draw a histogram of the data.
The ant and the corporation - Talent Management Gone Wrong ...Frances Kazan
The document tells a fable about an ant who worked hard without supervision. A lion in charge was surprised by her productivity and recruited others to supervise her, including a cockroach, spider, and fly. This led to increased paperwork and meetings that reduced the ant's productivity. More supervisors were added, including a cicada. An audit found the department was now overstaffed and less productive than before, so the ant was fired for lack of motivation.
Podcast Your Passion: 12 Steps to MasteryLen Edgerly
The document provides 12 steps for recovering from ordinary hours by starting a podcast based on one's passion. It recommends starting before being fully ready, choosing a consistent format, deciding what to learn, improving audio quality, avoiding podcast creep, responding to listeners, sticking to topics, using Skype for interviews, inviting guests, podcasting weekly, engaging with other podcasters, and providing great show notes. The overall message is to not quit the podcast until an unexpected door opens that leads to something more important.
