title: Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)

text:
"Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" is a song by Australian worship group Hillsong United. It was released on 23 August 2013 as the second and final single from their third studio album, Zion (2013). The song is led by Taya Smith, and was written by Matt Crocker, Joel Houston and Salomon Ligthelm, with production being handled by Michael Guy Chislett.

In the United States, the song spent a record 61 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart. In the year-end summaries, it was the chart's No. 1 song in 2014 and 2016, No. 2 in 2015, and No. 10 in 2017. Billboard ranked it as the No. 1 Christian song of the 2010s decade. The song was certified quadruple platinum in the United States.

Writing and background

The song ideas began early in the production of the album. Crocker worked with Ligthelm later back in Australia to write more of the lyrics and Ligthelm helped deciding that the theme of the song should be about stepping into the unknown and Peter having blind trust to walk on water. Much of the melody was written over the course of 10 days at Houston's apartment in New York. The last lyrics were written at a waterfall on the final day of recording.

The song was recorded by singer Taya Smith who sang many parts of the song in one take.

Awards
The song won many of the main categories at the 2014 GMA Dove Awards. It won the "Song of the Year", "Contemporary Christian Performance of the Year", "Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year", "Worship Song of the Year", and Hillsong United was named the "Artist of the Year". In turn, the Australian group was the winner in the Top Christian Artist category and the song "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" was chosen as Top Christian Song at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards.

Critical reception
Ryan Barbee of Jesus Freak Hideout said "'Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)' continues [the album] with a more intimate tone and will surely grasp the heart of the listener as the song reiterates, 'Spirit lead me where my trust is without boarders [sic], let me walk upon the waters wherever you would call me'. The music builds and builds to a gorgeous climax that will pull on your heartstrings whilst being encouraged by the faith that only the Holy Spirit can give." Louder Than the Music's Jono Davies stated "[Oceans] has a stunning orchestral opening before out of nowhere a voice hits you. The voice is stunning, yet haunting, all in the same breath. The song then builds musically from atmospheric haunting tones to sheer epicness. I can hear people just getting lost in worship at a Hillsong conference to this song."

In 2021, Dutch DJ group Dash Berlin created a remix of the song.

Chart performance
"Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart, and stayed atop of the charts for 45 consecutive weeks until it was dethroned by Carrie Underwood's "Something in the Water" in October 2014. The song rebounded to No. 1 for another five weeks until the chart week of 23 May 2015, marking a total of 50 non-consecutive weeks atop of the chart. In total, the song spent a record 61 weeks atop of the chart.

As of May 2022, Oceans has the most total weeks on Billboard's "Hot Christian Songs" chart with 191 weeks.

It became the longest running No. 1 song on the chart, before "You Say" broke the record in 2019.

title: Unique Italy

text:
Unique Italy (Italia Unica, IU; unico/a translates both to "unique" and "united") was a centre-right political party in Italy.

Its leader was Corrado Passera, a former manager (Mondadori, Espresso, Olivetti, Poste), banker (Intesa/Intesa Sanpaolo), supporter of the centre-left Olive Tree coalition and minister of Economic Development in Monti Cabinet (2011–2013).

History
The party was launched during two conventions in February and June 2014, respectively. Passera aimed at forming a "liberal, popular and reform" alternative to Matteo Renzi's Democratic Party (PD) and re-unifying the centre-right, which was divided at the time between several contentious parties and leaders.

At its founding congress in January 2015, the party unveiled its leadership. Led by Passera, president, and Lelio Alfonso (former spokesperson of Future Italy, IF and Civic Choice, SC), national coordinator, the party's national board notably included Diego Bottacin (former regional councillor in Veneto for Democracy is Freedom–DL, the PD and Toward North–VN), Fabio Evangelisti (a former MP for the Democrats of the Left–DS and Italy of Values–IdV), Silvana Mura (former treasurer and MP of IdV), Renzo Tondo (a former Socialist who served as President of Friuli-Venezia Giulia and MP for Forza Italia–FI and The People of Freedom–PdL) and Santo Versace (another former Socialist who was MP for the PdL).

Pino Bicchielli (former member of the national board of Alliance for Italy–ApI and former coordinator of Democratic Centre–CD) and Marco Calgaro (a former MP of DL and the Union of the Centre–UdC) joined IU by September. Among the others who joined later, it is worth mentioning Maria Ida Germontani (a former member of Lega Nord–LN and senator of National Alliance–AN).

Since November 2015 IU was represented by Guglielmo Vaccaro, elected with the PD and formerly a close affiliate of Enrico Letta, in the Chamber of Deputies and by Gaetano Quagliariello, elected with the PdL, passed through the New Centre-Right (NCD) and now leader of Identity and Action (IdeA), which allowed membership to other parties through the so-called "double membership", in the Senate. Vaccaro also hinted that IU and IdeA would soon merge into a single party.

Passera was supposed to run for mayor in the 2016 municipal election in Milan, but eventually decided to endorse Stefano Parisi, the joint centre-right candidate supported by the LN, FI, the NCD and the UdC. Consequently, the IU candidates were included in the larger "Parisi List for a Unique Milano".

In September 2016 the party, which had failed to take roots in the country, was dissolved.

title: Pyrenean donkey

text:
The Pyrenean, , is a French breed of domestic donkey. It is distributed in a large area of south-western France, covering the whole of the regions of Aquitaine, Midi Pyrénées and Languedoc Roussillon. The largest concentration is in Aquitaine, which is a large part of the historic region of Gascony. The Pyrenean donkey breed unites two quite different types: the  short and powerful Gascon type, and the taller and more elegant Catalan type, which is the French population of the Catalan donkey breed, approximately 20% of the total number of which is in the Roussillon.

History

The Pyrenean donkey was flourishing at the start of the twentieth century; the First World War reduced rural populations, and the donkey population also fell. The effects of the mechanisation of agriculture and transport led to a greater decline. The lowest point was reached in the 1990s, when no more than 20 animals remained. The breed was reconstituted with stock imported from Spain. A breeders' association, the , was formed in 1994, and in 1997 the breed was officially recognised by the ministry of agriculture and the Haras Nationaux. The association maintains the stud book for the breed.

Characteristics

Jacks of the Gascon type stand  at the withers, and jennies . Catalan jacks measure a minimum of , and jennies a minimum of ; there is no maximum height for the Catalan type.

The coat may be glossy black, near-black, pangaré black, or chestnut bay. The lower part of the muzzle and the surround of the eyes are pale, as is the belly; there is no dorsal stripe, shoulder-stripe or zebra-striping of the legs. Most physical characteristics differ between the two types.

Use

The Gascon type was used for agricultural work, both in harness and as a pack animal, carrying wood, hay, ice and the like. As in the past, Catalan jacks are used to sire mules; they may be bred with Castillonnais, Mérens or Navarrin mares of the region.

Pyrenean jennies may also  be used to produce asses' milk for cosmetic use.

It's not just a film but a philosophy." Bollywood Hungama gave the film a rating of 3 out of 5 saying that, "Director Ravindra Gautam really needs to be applauded from the bottom of the heart for having come up with such a unique film. The way he has treated the subject and extracted performances from his actors, makes him a director to look forward to in the future." Rachit Gupta of Filmfare reviewed the film saying that, "Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami isn’t the worst film ever made. It’s got its moments. But when it comes to cinematic quality it has no leg to stand on. It’s just too erratic to merit any credibility." Rajeev Masand of News18 gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 saying that, "Buried beneath the farcical humor, melodramatic performances and manipulative tear-jerking in Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami is a well-intentioned message movie about the value of honesty." Prateek Sur of DNA India praised the acting performances of the actors but criticized the length of the film and gave the film a rating of 3 out of 5. Kaushani Banerjee of Deccan Chronicle gave the film a rating of 1.5 out of 5 saying that the movie "falters much like the system it aims to satirize." Paloma Sharma of Rediff gave the film a rating of 3.5 out of 5 and said that, "Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami could have been flawless but for slightly substandard dialogues and cinematography." Sanjukta Sharma of Live Mint reviewed the film saying that, "Kher leads a cast that drums up the melodrama quite effortlessly, as the film requires. But despite the best of intentions, Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami is a tiresome film and at least half an hour longer than it should have been."

title: Badr ul-Alam Syah

text:
Sultan Badr ul-Alam Syah (died 1765) was the twenty-sixth sultan of Aceh in northern Sumatra. He usurped the throne from the Bugis Dynasty and ruled from 1764 to 1765.

When Sultan Alauddin Johan Syah died in 1760, his son and successor Alauddin Mahmud Syah I was still young. An official called Maharaja Labui or Mantri Makota Raja was therefore acting as regent, taking care of the affairs. This person was descended from the sultan's family of Siak though the exact link is not clear. Siak had risen to become an important power on the east coast of Sumatra in the eighteenth century. In 1763 disturbances broke out in the Aceh sultanate, presumably as a consequence of the sultan's unpopular attempts to control trade. The details are not entirely clear, but in 1764 Alauddin Mahmud Syah I was driven from the capital and Mantri Makota Raja took the throne in February of that year under the name Sultan Badr ul-Alam Syah. However, the expelled sultan was able to build up a new base at Kota Musapi with the help of an influential qadi, Malik ul-Adil. Badr ul-Alam Syah was attacked by the exile's adherents and killed in August 1765. Alauddin Mahmud Syah was once again placed on the throne. Badr ul-Alam had a daughter, Merah di Awan, who was later married to Alauddin Mahmud Syah's eldest son in an attempt to reconcile the families. Her son later became sultan under the name Alauddin Jauhar ul-Alam Syah

title: Cyril Kennedy (Australian politician)

text:
Cyril James Kennedy (born 28 May 1932) is a former Australian politician.

Kennedy was born in Ulverstone in Tasmania to Leo Joseph Kennedy, a waterside worker, and Stella Elizabeth Noble. He attended Sacred Heart School and then Ulverstone State School, eventually studying at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. From 1959 to 1979 he worked in advertising, marketing, photography and insurance, and was president of the Free Education Movement. A Labor Party member from 1960, he was elected to the Victorian Legislative Council in 1979 as the member for Waverley, holding the seat until his defeat at the 1992 state election.

Kennedy's younger brother, Andrew David Kennedy, also served in the Victorian state parliament (from 1982 to 1992), having earlier sat in the Australian federal parliament (from 1969 to 1972). The brothers are both fifth-generation descendants (great-great-great-grandchildren) of Mannalargenna, a 19th-century Aboriginal Tasmanian leader. Consequently, using certain definitions of Aboriginality, some sources list them as amongst the few Indigenous Australians to have been elected to Australian legislatures. The Kennedys were the only people with acknowledged Aboriginal ancestry to have served in the Victorian state parliament until Lidia Thorpe was elected in 2017.

title: Old Pickens Jail

text:
Old Pickens Jail, also known as Pickens County Jail, is a historic jail located at Pickens, Pickens County, South Carolina.  It was built in 1903, and is a two-story, brick building with a two-story crenellated tower.  It was expanded in 1928 to provide additional space for the cellblock.  The jail closed in August 1975, and has since been used as a historical museum and art gallery.

This building gained infamy when Willie Earle was forcefully removed from the Pickens County Jail by a mob on February 16, 1947. When confronted by the mob, the jailer's response was: "I guess you boys know what you're doing." Willie Earle was subsequently lynched nearby in Greenville County, SC.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

title: Hidekazu Yokoyama

text:
is a retired amateur Japanese freestyle wrestler, who competed in the men's light heavyweight category. He won two bronze medals in both freestyle and Greco-Roman at the Asian Games (1994 and 1998), and then represented his nation Japan in two editions of the Olympic Games (1996 and 2004). Having worked as a physical education teacher at Akita Commercial High School, Yokoyama also trained as part of the school's wrestling squad under his personal coach Katsuhiko Saito.

When Japan hosted the 1994 Asian Games in Hiroshima, Yokoyama enchanted the home crowd inside Higashi Stadium by defeating South Korea's Yang Hyun-Mo for a bronze medal in the 82-kg division. The following year, he placed eleventh at the World Championships, and then rounded out the fourth spot in the same class at the 1996 Asian Wrestling Championships in Hangzhou, China.

Yokoyama entered the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta on his major debut in the men's 82 kg class. He pinned Romania's Nicolae Ghiţă in his opening bout, but suffered a stunning 4–2 upset from his rival Yang Hyun-Mo in the second round. Yokoyama lost a chance to dismantle Turkey's Sabahattin Öztürk for a victory in the third round repechage 1–7, dropping him to eleventh spot.

Shortly after the Games, Yokoyama turned his focus to Greco-Roman wrestling, and proved particularly successful with a bronze medal effort in the same category at the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok, Thailand, outclassing Iran's Behrouz Jamshidi in the process. He also sought his bid to compete for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, but missed a spot from the Olympic Tournament. Yokoyama made his early retirement in 2000, but came back from the sport three years later to further concentrate on his freestyle wrestling career.

Eight years after his first Olympics, Yokoyama qualified for his second Japanese squad, as a 33-year-old veteran, in the men's 84 kg class at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. Earlier in the process, he guaranteed a spot on the Japanese team by placing second from the Olympic Qualification Tournament in Bratislava, Slovakia. He lost his opening match 1–5 to Iran's Majid Khodaei, but bounced back to hold India's Anuj Kumar down the mat with 8–11 decision to close the prelim pool. Finishing second in the pool and tenth overall, Yokoyama failed to advance further into the quarterfinals.

title: Solidary Democracy

text:
Solidary Democracy (, DemoS) is a Christian-leftist political party in Italy. The party's early leader, Lorenzo Dellai has described it as a "Christian-social" party. DemoS is led by Paolo Ciani; several party members, including Ciani himself, hail from the Community of Sant'Egidio.

DemoS maintains solid relations with the Democratic Party. It also had relations with a number of alike minor parties/groups of the Christian left, notably including the Democratic Centre (with which DemoS formed a joint parliamentary group in the Chamber of Deputies in 2014–2018), the Christian Popular Union (active mainly in Sardinia) and the Union for Trentino (Dellai's long-time party in Trentino, of which he was President in 1999–2012).

History
DemoS was formed in July 2014, following the split of the left-wing faction from the Populars for Italy (PpI). The party, led by Lorenzo Dellai, Andrea Olivero, Mario Marazziti, Mario Giro and Lucio Romano, re-affirmed the strategic (not just tactical) alliance with Matteo Renzi's Democratic Party (PD), while the PpI considered it temporary and wanted to restructure the centre-right camp instead. At its start, the party counted eight deputies, two senators, one deputy minister and one undersecretary.

In November 2014 the "For Italy" group in the Chamber welcomed the two deputies of the Democratic Centre (CD). In December the two senators of DemoS, Olivero and Romano, left the "For Italy" group, which was later disbanded, to join For the Autonomies, a miscellaneous group composed of minor autonomist and/or centre-left parties. In September a ninth deputy, Maurizio Baradello, joined the party and the parliamentary group; Baradello would die in May 2017.

In early 2015 Demos adopted a new symbol, Dellai was elected president of the party and Paolo Ciani coordinator.

In January 2016 the "For Italy" group changed its name to "Solidary Democracy – Democratic Centre", following a strengthening of the alliance with CD. In February Giro, formerly an undersecretary, became deputy minister of Foreign Affairs; Giro was thus one of the party's two deputy ministers, along with Olivero at Agriculture.

In June and December 2017, respectively, Fucsia Nissoli and Gianluigi Gigli joined Forza Italia (FI) and Energies for Italy (EpI), both members of the centre-right coalition. For its part, DemoS was a founding member of the Popular Civic List (CP), a centrist electoral list within the centre-left coalition, along with Popular Alternative (AP), Italy of Values (IdV), the Centrists for Europe (CpE), Italy is Popular (IP), the Union for Trentino (UpT) and the Christian Popular Union (UPC).

In the 2018 general election CP obtained a mere 0.5% and no seats, thus DemoS was excluded from Parliament. Moreover, Dellai was defeated in a single-seat constituency in Trentino. However, in the simultaneous 2018 regional election in Lazio, Ciani was elected regional councillor, at the head of a regional list named "Solidary Centre".

In October 2018 DemoS was re-launched, with the aim of creating a large Christian-leftist movement within the centre-left, at the presence of Andrea Riccardi, founder of the Community of Sant'Egidio, and Paolo Gentiloni, a leading Democrat, former Prime Minister and minister of Foreign Affairs. In the following months, the party was joined by some high-profile people, including Nello Formisano and Pietro Bartolo, while Michela Rostan, deputy of Article One, expressed her willingness to represent the issues put forward by Demo.S in the Parliament. The party also joined the PD's lists for the 2019 European Parliament election, resulting in the election of Bartolo as MEP.

In May 2022 the party held its first national congress. Ciani, until then coordinator, was elected secretary, while Giro was re-elected president.

title: Psachna

text:
Psachna () is a small Greek town in Euboea, 16 km north of Chalcis. It is built in a small plain in the central-west part of the island. Psachna is the seat of Dirfys-Messapia municipality and the seat of Messapia regional unit. The town is also known for the Psachna campus of National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and the football team Iraklis Psachna. Its population is 5,827 residents according to 2011 census.

History
The settlement of Psachna was built by refugees after the sack of Chalcis in 1470 during the First Ottoman–Venetian War. During the Ottoman occupation, it was a small village with few houses. After Greek independence, refugees from Samos were installed in Psachna, leading to the naming of a district of Psachna as "Samiotika". The population of Psachna was increased in the last century when residents of the more mountainous villages such as Pyxaria, Vavoula, Apogremno moved in. In August 2020, the town and the region was badly hit from catastrophic floods that resulted in 6 deaths.

Historical population

Description
The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens has a campus in Psachna. There are three monasteries near Psachna: Saint John Kalyvitis, Panagia Makrymallis and Panagia Gorgoepikoos. The first two were built during the Byzantine period, destroyed later and rebuilt. The third monastery was built after 1960.

Psachna has also the best medical facilities in the area.

title: G. N. R. Kumaravelan

text:
G. N. R. Kumaravelan is an Indian film director, who works in Tamil cinema. After assisting directors Balu Mahendra and Kamal Haasan in their films, Kumaravelan's directorial debut was the 2009 film Ninaithale Inikkum, and his second was the 2011 film Yuvan Yuvathi. His third film Haridas (2013), led to him being nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Tamil Director.

Career

1980s-1990s: Early life, work
Kumaravelan is the son of former director G. N. Rangarajan, who had extensively collaborated with actor Kamal Haasan in his career, directing films including Kalyanaraman (1979), Meendum Kokila (1981) and Maharasan (1993). Kumaravelan worked as an assistant director under Balu Mahendra in Sathi Leelavathi (1995) and then in Kamal Haasan's unreleased ventures Ladies Only and Marudhanayagam.

2009-12: Early directing

Kumaravelan's first feature film was the 2009 mystery drama film Ninaithale Inikkum, a remake of the 2006 Malayalam film Classmates. Featuring an ensemble cast including Prithviraj, Shakthi, Karthik Kumar, Priyamani and Anuja Iyer; the film was marketed by Sun Pictures and was super hit run at the box office. He then began pre-production on a film featuring R. Madhavan in the lead role, but the venture eventually did not materialise.

His second film was the romantic comedy, Yuvan Yuvathi featuring Bharath, Rima Kallingal and Santhanam. The film received mixed reviews after release in August 2011, with a critic noting that "Yuvan Yuvathi feels like being stuffed with stale food. You're likely to regurgitate"., though Malathi Rangarajan from The Hindu stated, "A predictable yet enjoyable finish to a love story that sparkles with the energy of youth!".

2013: Haridas

Kumaravelan then moved on to make Haridas (2013), a drama film starring Kishore and Sneha revolving around the issues of caring for an autistic child, played by Prithviraj Das. The film opened to largely positive reviews from critics, with Sify.com noting that the film"rugs at your heartstrings, and urges you to introspect and makes you look at children with disability differently." Other reviews from The Hindu rated the movie "deserves to be supported.", while Behindwoods.com wrote that the movie was an "honourable tribute to parental love and sacrifice."

The film was recognized at award ceremonies and film festivals, being nominated for a Filmfare Award and receiving second place at the 11th Chennai International Film Festival.

2016: Wagah
In 2014, he was working on the pre-production of a film starring Vikram Prabhu and approached Alia Bhatt to play the leading female role. However, in June 2014, the producers shelved the venture citing financial restraints. The producers again started the venture. The project was called Wagah which would be a cross border romance between an Indian soldier and a Pakistani girl and instead of Alia Bhatt newcomer Ranya Rao was selected to play Vikram Prabhu's love interest. The film had a theatrical release on 12 August 2016 and was received a mixed response. After a gap of almost two and a half decades, this movie was shot in Kashmir with a lot challenges and was much talked about.

2022: Sinam
This movie was completed just ahead of COVID. Amidst lots of challenges, post-production was completed and the movie made a theatrical release in 2022. This was well received by the audience and the film critics. Netflix released this movie over-the-top (OTT) and the movie has been receiving continued viewership and positive reviews.

title: Eco-Lighthouse

text:
Eco-Lighthouse is a Norwegian environmental management certification scheme, operated by the Eco-Lighthouse Foundation in Kristiansand. About 7700 Norwegian private and public organisations are certified, mostly SMEs. The objective is to achieve and document continuous improvement using the Plan-Do-Check-Act-cycle. Since 2017, the Eco-Lighthouse scheme is recognized by the EU to be equivalent to EMAS and ISO 14001 in public procurement.

History
In 1996, Kristiansand Municipality started a project together with local enterprises in order to operate more environmentally friendly. The project inspired several other municipalities in Norway to start similar projects. A key factor for success was extensive collaboration with important national actors.

From 2000 Eco-Lighthouse (in Norwegian "Miljøfyrtårn") was driven as a 3-year national project with financial support of the Ministry of Climate and Environment. Evaluations of this project were positive. In 2003 the non-profit Eco-Lighthouse Foundation was established by the following parties:

 Enterprise Federation of Norway
 Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise
 Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions
 Norwegian Association of Small & Medium Enterprises
 Norwegian Association of Local and Regional Authorities
 Innovation Norway
 The county municipalities of Buskerud and Nordland
 The municipalities of Bergen, Drammen, Haram, Kristiansand, Larvik, Oslo, Ringsaker, Stavanger, Tromsø, Trondheim and Ålesund.

Due to membership in the European Economic Area, a new law for public procurement had to come into effect in Norway in 2017. This meant that Directive 2014/24/EU article 62.2 on environmental management systems was to be incorporated in Norwegian law. In principle, only environmental certification according to the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) or ISO 14001 would qualify in public procurement. National systems like the Eco-Lighthouse would only be allowed when approved according to Article 45 of Regulation (EC) No 1221/2009, i.e. when recognized to comply with EMAS requirements.

Without such approval, the about 5000 Eco-Lighthouse certified organizations would not be allowed to participate in public bids in Norway. In 2015 the Eco-Lighthouse foundation therefore started the process to achieve EMAS recognition. The Directorate-General for the Environment in Brussels led the process on behalf of the EU.

The application process took two-and-a-half years and was performed in good cooperation with the Directorate. Collaboration with the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment and the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise ensured that Eco-Lighthouse remained a valid certification scheme in 2017 while the application process was still proceeding. Recognition was obtained on the 6th of December 2017.

Afterwards, the number of new Eco-Lighthouse certifications has increased every year. The scheme is updated and extended regularly with emphasis on industries with large indirect environmental impact like designers and banks.

Description of the scheme

In order to certify as an Eco-Lighthouse, an organisation has to comply with one or more sets of governance and environmental criteria. All organisations have to comply with the general industry criteria and to relevant sets of industry-specific criteria.

The Eco-Lighthouse Foundation is the organiser of the scheme. Most municipalities in Norway are paying members and act as certifying bodies. The actual certification is performed by certifiers trained and approved by the Eco-Lighthouse Foundation. The language of the scheme is Norwegian and it is adapted to Norwegian law.

Organisation
The Eco-Lighthouse certification is managed by the Eco-Lighthouse Foundation. However, the certifying body is the municipality where the organisation applying for certification is resident. Most Norwegian municipalities are paying members of the scheme. As certifying body, they control which certifiers are allowed to operate in the municipality. However, the Eco-Lighthouse Foundation trains and approves all certifiers and subjects all certifications to a quality control before issuing the diploma.

Organisations are obliged to hire a certified Eco-Lighthouse consultant for the first-time certification process. They are free to choose which consultant to use and the extent of the support by this consultant. Eco-Lighthouse certifiers are often also approved as consultants, but cannot perform both roles for the same organisation.

A more detailed description of the roles:

Eco-Lighthouse Foundation

 Develops criteria for certification. Regular updates and new industry criteria are issued to keep the scheme relevant
 Manages the web portal
 Trains and approves Eco-Lighthouse consultants and certifiers
 Maintains contact with the Eco-Lighthouse responsible appointed by municipalities
 Performs a final verification before approving the certification after recommendation of certifiers
 Generates the certificate for the organisation and sends the diploma to the municipality in which the organisation is resident

Municipalities

 Sign up for to the Eco-Lighthouse scheme membership
 Appoint an internal Eco-Lighthouse responsible whose duties are to keep contact with the Eco-Lighthouse Foundation and certifiers, and to promote the scheme within the municipality
 Appoint certifiers who can perform certifications within the municipality. These can be municipal employees or privately employed.
 Deliver diplomas to newly certified organisations. In smaller municipalities, the diploma is normally delivered to the organisation by the mayor. In larger municipalities, like Oslo, special arrangements are organized to celebrate new Eco-Lighthouses
 Optional: get their own organisations like municipal administration, kindergartens and nursery homes certified

Certifier

 Receives training from and follows guidelines set by the Eco-Lighthouse Foundation. Attends a yearly refresher course
 Certifies and re-certifies organisations, usually on-site
 Conducts annual review with headquarters of larger organisations

Consultant

 Receives training from and follows guidelines set by the Eco-Lighthouse Foundation. Attends a yearly refresher course
 Introduces organisations to the Eco-Lighthouse web portal
 Guides organisations through the certification process

Roles within organisations certified as Eco-Lighthouse (in small organisations, the environmental manager is often part of top management):

Top management

 Ensures compliance to all relevant HSE and environmental regulations
 Supports the certification process
 Shows willingness to change operational procedures in order to achieve a more eco-friendly operation
 Conducts an annual review of the HSE and Eco-Lighthouse system, including approving new KPIs and measures

Environmental manager

 Is responsible for the environmental statement prior to certification
 Is the organisation’s main representative in the audit with the certifier
 Is responsible for preparing the annual environmental reports, getting them approved by management and sending them to the Eco-Lighthouse Foundation before the 1st of April the following year
 Has to start and follow up the recertification process after 3 years
 Is responsible for setting up a framework for continuous environmental improvement, for example by regular meetings with top management and staff responsible for environmental measures
 Promotes the Eco-Lighthouse scheme towards all stakeholders of the organisation

Process towards certification
The following steps are required for organizations in order to become and stay certified as Eco-Lighthouse:
 Sign a contract with a certified consultant
 Fill out the environmental statement and annual report for the previous year in the Eco-Lighthouse web portal. Where necessary, implement measures to comply with the criteria.
 Become certified by a Eco-Lighthouse certifier
 Work for continuous improvements using the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, documented in annual reports
 Get re-certified after 3 years on basis of a new environmental statement and submitted annual reports

Municipalities and corporations located at four locations or more use a variation of this model, where the headquarter can fulfil certain criteria on behalf of the whole organisation.

Eco-Lighthouse web portal
The work towards certification is to be documented in the Eco-Lighthouse web portal. All involved parties have access to the organisation’s data in the web portal.

The web portal includes (all in Norwegian):
 Basic information about the organisation
 The environmental statement(s) with all relevant criteria for the organisation
 Guidance to the criteria, when appropriate with templates
 Yearly Climate and Environmental reports
 Graphs visualising data from the Climate and Environmental reports
 CO2-account according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol

Environmental statement
The environmental statement consists of pre-defined industry-specific criteria tailored for Norwegian enterprises.

All organisations must comply with the General Industry criteria.

In addition, there are about 80 sets of industry-specific criteria, for instance for construction, manufacturing, hairdressing, architecture and education. Organisations must comply with the appropriate sets with criteria. Some organisations have several sets of industry-specific criteria to comply with. Others, mainly service-providers, have none.

Some industries, like fish farming or power generation do not have suitable sets of criteria. Thus, organisations working within these sectors cannot be certified as Eco-Lighthouse.

Topics covered in the criteria sets (industry-specific criteria do not necessarily include all topics):

 System criteria (covering governance)
 Work environment
 Procurement
 Transport
 Energy
 Waste
 Emission
 Aesthetics
 Additional environmental aspects – a review whether there are additional significant environmental aspects not covered in the environmental statement yet

Annual Climate and Environmental report
An Annual Climate and Environmental report covering the previous calendar year must be delivered in the web portal prior to first time certification. Afterwards, a report has to be submitted before the 1st of April every year. A summary of the report shall be made accessible to the general public

The Annual Climate and Environmental report consists of 4 parts:

 KPIs of the previous year
 Measures taken in the previous year to improve environmental performance
 Target KPIs for the coming year
 Planned measures for improvement in the coming year in order to meet the target KPIs

The annual reports will be taken into account during recertification.

When the Annual report is declared final, the greenhouse gas emissions are calculated according to the GHG-protocol. The organisation can also compare its environmental performance against other organisations in the same industry.

Costs
In general, the largest cost factor for Eco-Lighthouse implementation are the working hours own employees spend implementing and documenting the various criteria.

Other costs during implementation are

 Start fee for access to the Eco-Lighthouse web portal, which is dependent on the number of employees.
 Consultant fees, in average about 20 working  hours
 Certifier fees, in average about 10 working hours

Afterwards, a lower yearly service fee is to be paid for use of the web portal. Organisations are not obliged to hire a consultant for re-certification after 3 years, but the cost for the certifier are the same as for first-time certification.

Certified organisations
About 7700 public and private organisations in Norway are certified as Eco-Lighthouse. Their size and type is very diverse. Surveys show that a large majority is satisfied with the scheme.

Several municipalities like Oslo certified their own operational units, like schools and senior resident centres.

In the private sector, Eco-Lighthouse certified companies vary from larger corporations to very small companies.

Although the number of certifications is significant and increasing, it is still small compared to the total number of organisations in Norway.

Barriers towards certification are found to be:

 No environmental certification is required by clients, neither in the public nor private sector
 Organisations are overestimating the cost and amount of work necessary to get an Eco-Lighthouse certification
 The benefits of the certification process (other than diploma) are underestimated, like cost reduction due to proper waste management and increased environmental consciousness amongst employees

title: Bourbonnais Donkey

text:
The Bourbonnais Donkey, , is a breed of domestic donkey from the historic region of the Bourbonnais, which corresponds roughly with the modern département of Allier, in the Auvergne region of central France. It was in the past used as a pack animal, for hauling barges, and to pull light gigs. The breed was recognised by the Ministère de l'Agriculture, the French ministry of agriculture, in 2002. The stud book is kept by the Association de l'Ane Bourbonnais, an association of breeders.

History

The first records of donkeys in the Bourbonnais date from 1862, when there were about 6000; by the beginning of the twentieth century there were 7700. In the 1970s the number had fallen to about 500, and when the Association de l'Ane Bourbonnais was formed in 1994, it identified barely 50. The breed was officially recognised by the agriculture ministry and the Haras Nationaux in October 2002. The stud book for the breed is maintained by the association; almost 200 animals are registered.

Characteristics

Jacks measure ,  jennies  or up to  more. The coat is chocolate brown, bay or dark bay, with a darker dorsal stripe and shoulder stripe; the legs may show zebra-striping. The lower part of the muzzle is grey-white, as is the belly.

Use

Like the larger Grand Noir du Berry from slightly further north, the Bourbonnais donkey was used as a pack animal to carry vegetables, coal, milk and the like, and also as a draught animal both for agricultural work and to haul barges on the canals of the region. In the early twentieth century it was also used to pull gigs to transport visitors to the fashionable spa at Vichy. Today it is used as a pack animal for hiking, or for light driving.

title: 1930–31 in Mandatory Palestine football

text:
The 1930–31 season was the fourth season of competitive football in the British Mandate for Palestine under the Eretz Israel Football Association. During the season, the Arab Palestine Sports Federation was established as a rival to the Jewish-controlled EIFA.

IFA Competitions

1930–31 Palestine League

An attempt was made to organize a Palestine League, with the participation of 11 clubs, both Jewish and British, in the top division and a second division divided into four regional leagues. However, league matches were suspended in November 1930 as British military teams were ordered not to play Jewish teams due to the tensions between the British Mandate government and the Jewish community following the publication of the Passfield white paper. An attempt to revive the league with Jewish clubs only also failed.

Table

1930–31 Second Division
Along with the first division, the EIFA planned to operate a Second Division (Mahlaka Bet), which was planned to be divided into four regional divisions, with mostly junior and reserve teams. It seems that Maccabi Yona won the Jerusalem division, During the season some of the participating teams withdrew from the competition, which forced the EIFA to operate just one division in the Tel Aviv area.
