PASO ROBLES, Calif., Oct. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Riboli Family Wines, family-owned and operated since 1917, is proud to announce the launch of its latest brand – Riva de la Rosa -  a collection of unique, approachable, easy-to-drink white wines from Italy's notable wine regions of Piemonte, Toscana, Marche, and Lazio.

Key Points: 
  • PASO ROBLES, Calif., Oct. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Riboli Family Wines , family-owned and operated since 1917, is proud to announce the launch of its latest brand – Riva de la Rosa -  a collection of unique, approachable, easy-to-drink white wines from Italy's notable wine regions of Piemonte, Toscana, Marche, and Lazio.
  • Sourced from Italy's diverse terroirs and named for the roses planted to watch over the vineyards, Riva de la Rosa, or "Shore of the Rose," is a collection of crisp, refreshing, light-bodied white wines.
  • Italy's cooler, coastal influence makes these wines approachable and easy to drink thanks to the influence of the sea and mineral-rich soils, which provide incredible salinity to the wines.
  • "We are thrilled to introduce a dynamic new collection of Italian white wines from the regions for which they are best-known," says Steve Riboli, President & CEO.

Gaza has been blockaded for 16 years – here's what a 'complete siege' and invasion could mean for vital supplies

Water, food, energy and fuel supplies have been severed as further retaliation for Hamas’s attacks.

Key Points: 
  • Water, food, energy and fuel supplies have been severed as further retaliation for Hamas’s attacks.
  • Gaza’s single power station has now ceased to function, as the current dark night skies – save for explosions – bear witness.
  • Without fuel or electricity, farmers will be unable to pump water to irrigate crops, or to process and safely store food.
  • Before the latest hostilities, 70% of Gaza’s households were already classified as “food insecure”, unable to afford their daily requirements.

Water

    • Mekorot, Israel’s national water company, extracts water from the coastal aquifer that lies beneath bedrock along the coast of Gaza and Israel, to irrigate Israeli farms.
    • It then pipes and sells water into the Gaza Strip.
    • And the municipal desalination plant that supplied Gaza with 15% of its water has ceased to function.
    • Elsewhere, repairs of ageing and damaged infrastructure from previous bombardments have consistently been hampered by the blockade, affecting water pumping, desalination plants and sewage treatment.

Invasion

    • It is impossible to predict how disastrous a ground invasion would be.
    • Over the past 15 years, damage to Gaza’s infrastructure is thought to amount to US$5 billion (£4.1 billion) across four previous wars.
    • After the 22-day invasion from December 2008 to January 2009, the UN documented wide-scale damage to fields, vegetable crops, orchards, livestock, wells, hatcheries, beehives, greenhouses and irrigation systems.
    • A total siege will go a long way towards turning that prediction into a gruesome reality.

We landed a camera on Venus before seeing parts of our own oceans – it’s time to ramp up observations closer to home

Its much denser atmosphere enables a greenhouse effect on steroids, with surface temperatures approaching 500°C.

Key Points: 
  • Its much denser atmosphere enables a greenhouse effect on steroids, with surface temperatures approaching 500°C.
  • We have managed to land a camera on the surface of Venus, with the Soviet space probe Venera 9 in 1975.
  • Like the “Earth rise” image captured during the Apollo 8 mission in 1968, this again proved the power of visual imagery.

Direct observations

    • But as powerful and all-encompassing as these observations are, we still make surprise discoveries, such as vent systems on the seafloor and life in under-ice cavities.
    • This is why we need to continue exploring and ramp up our capacity to measure the oceans directly.
    • Nowhere is this more true than in the Southern Ocean, the connector of all oceans.

Fostering collaboration

    • While it is not quite Venus in terms of difficulty, measurements have to target and prioritise the major science questions.
    • Earlier this year, more than 300 researchers gathered for the first Southern Ocean Observing Symposium in Hobart to express their growing concern.

The risks of the unknown

    • It isn’t cheap to track changes in such a remote location.
    • Sending ships and deploying robust instrumentation, and then retrieving the gear and data, all adds up.
    • The lack of direct observations is one reason we continue to be surprised by changes in the region.
