How Fortnite Turned Jokes Into Content
Fortnite, a game that has been among the top played games on most platforms for the last few years and has been the center of controversy with Apple, has shown that comedy brings people together more than anything within the game, except maybe music or events in general. From emotes to characters and even lore and other elements throughout the ever-changing years of the video game Fortnite has brought comedy to the forefront of most of its lifetime so far. Of course, there have also been serious, heartwarming moments during major events but overall Fortnite thrives from comedy, Tik Tok, and other social media platform trends. When it came to dances that originated on social media platforms such as Twitter and Tik Tok Fortnite was quick to release their own version of the trend, until lawsuits and artist claim rights started to come after the video game industry giant. Below, we've detailed various forms of comedy such as jokes and memes that Fortnite has turned into content for the platform.

Bumper Entry Announced for 110th London to Brighton Run
By Auction News on September 11, 2006 in News
The official entry list for the 2006 London to Brighton Veteran Car Run (LBVCR) has been published today, with a total of 489 pre-1905 veteran cars entered for the event, including 85 international entries from as far away as China, Australia, South Africa and the United States.
The entry list includes cars from the dawn of motoring. The oldest car on this years run is a 1895 Peugeot Vis-à-vis, which will be the first car across the start line on Sunday 5th November in Hyde Park. There are 36 other examples of 19th century motoring entered for the 2006 LBVCR and while most are powered by the early petrol engine, there are also 15 steam cars and 3 electric cars entered.
"We have seen an increase of interest from veteran car owners for the 2006 LBVCR," said event director Roger Etcell. "The entry has grown steadily with a 5% increase on two years ago. The biggest increase we've seen is in international entries, with 15% more from overseas since last year. We are very pleased to see the LBVCR growing and gaining in popularity since moving to a three day event format in 2004. When you remember that all of the vehicles on the 2006 LBVCR are at least 102 years old, the fact that more owners are deciding to drive their irreplaceable cars on the roads between London and Brighton in November for everyone to see is very encouraging and is an event that shouldn't be missed by anyone who has an interest in motoring."
The line up of 489 veteran cars, all pre 1905 vehicles, will participate in the 2006 LBVCR on Sunday 5th November starting in Hyde Park. The first cars leave at 7:07am (sunrise), and travel the 60-miles to Brighton along the A23. The event also includes a special LBVCR auction at Bonhams New Bond Street salerooms on Friday 3rd November and on Saturday 4th Regent Street will be closed to allow over 100 of the veteran cars to be displayed in Central London in the 2006 LBVCR International Concours, with selected vehicles giving demonstration runs around Berkeley Square.
The LBVCR takes place on the first Sunday of every November (2006 event is on 5th November) and commemorates the Emancipation Run of 14 November 1896 which celebrated the passing into law of the Locomotives on the Highway Act, which raised the speed limit for `light locomotives' from 4 mph to 14 mph and abolished the requirement for these vehicles to be preceded by a man on foot carrying a red flag.
To see the full entry list, together with images of each car entered, and for further information on the 2006 London to Brighton Veteran Car Run visit www.lbvcr.com.

Chiki Sarkar on her experiments in publishing
'One of the things I've obsessed about as a publisher is how I can be relevant.'
A short conversation with Chiki Sarkar, publisher, Juggernaut, on publishing innovations.
On what's different
I always knew when we started Juggernaut that the fun was going to start when we could do things I hadn't been able to do with physical books. If we were going to win the game, you were going to want to use Juggernaut very differently from the way you might use the Kindle or, indeed, a regular bookstore, or read as you normally do.
But these are big words – and truth be told I didn't always know exactly how we'd go about doing this. Three months after our launch, I know a little bit more now.
On speed
Juggernaut moves fast. We brought out mini-bios of Jayalalithaa and Mamata Banerjee on the elections results day in May, asked the Tamil writer Perumal Murugan if we could publish his favourite short stories to celebrate the Madras High Court judgement in his favour, translating it and putting it on the app within two weeks of the judgement, and wrote off to Seagull Books, Mahasweta Devi's publishers, asking if we could publish a short story of the great writer the day after she died.
One of the things I've obsessed about as a publisher is how I can be relevant. This is one way. But the reason I can do it is that we have the channel, and we are editorially driven. So a good idea and its execution can happen in perfect sync.
On reader behaviour
I always knew that one of the things that would most interest me at Juggernaut was working with the data we had about what people were reading and who were doing the reading. Our readers love short stories, even very literary ones. Roberto Bolano's short story Clara is one of the bestselling titles on our app for example. Reader responses to Murugan and Mahasweta Devi were great.
So we know we can give people a wide variety of stuff if it's a good length. Our understanding of who's reading our love, sex, romance list has already helped us sharpen our strategy on it. And one of the things we do in our editorial meetings is constantly respond to some of this stuff, changing our minds about how to publish, and, indeed, what to publish. I love it though i think I run the team ragged.
On making small things big
It's hard to make an event of a single story – but the form of Juggernuat and the fact that we still work like a traditional publisher when it comes to publication (working with the press, pushing for reviews, interviews, creating a campaign on social media) means that we can do this in a way no one else can. We'll push this more and more over the months, commissioning short stories in ways that we might commission non-fiction, and talking about them to the press in the way we might with a bigger book.
Alongside this, the fact that we think not just about the medium but also the content means we can reinvent the bigger book into something else. So we've just launched the mini-blockbuster – short, self-enclosed extracts of our big books, released anytime between three weeks and six months before the actual publication to sell on the app as a self-contained, standalone mini-book. The books have different titles and jackets – the idea is to sell it to you not as an excerpt but as a fully formed thing.
On a new form
We've started this week with Rajdeep Sardesai's brilliant book on indian cricketers, Kanhaiya Kumar's searing memoirs about being a poor rural boy, and his journey to Delhi and a sizzling and deliciously gossipy book about Rekha – all of them available on our app. And we'll do this every month or other month. We want to generate interest for the actual books, create our first bank of known readers for them, and, most important, give readers another way to get into a bigger book. We're also extending the idea of creating the mini-book in other ways, including working with third parties.
The real-time book, the event short story and the mini-blockbuster – three little "inventions" in our first three months. I want to do lots more and we're going to need to constantly experiment before we know we truly are and what we can do. That's when the game starts getting really interesting.

War of the Worlds Season 2 at last!
It's taken the best part of 5 years since the release of season 1 on DVD, but at long last we're going to get the conclusion to the War of the Worlds TV series. Dating back to 1988, the series ran a scant 2 years and starred Jared Martin as maverick scientist Harrison Blackwood, battling aliens and penny pinching government bureaucracy. The first season featured some inspired episodes, particularly one set in Grover's Mill, where Orson Welles set his 1938 invasion, but the second season lurched off in strange directions. Suddenly the series is set in the future rather than the present day and the original alien invaders are themselves kicked out of frame by a new set of aliens. Earth is portrayed in a dire environmental state, with social order breaking down and the characters we came to love in the first season are either killed off or their personalities rewritten. Blame a new creative team who apparently barely bothered to take much notice of the first season. I still recall there were some good episodes, and it's good to get to see the 2nd season on DVD so I'll be in line to get one, but if you've only ever seen Season 1, be prepared for a shock. Release date in the USA is set for October 26th. There's a pre-order page on Amazon, but it lists C. Thomas Howell as the star, which means the Amazon editorial team are mixing it up with the recent direct to video War of the Worlds movies from The Asylum film studio.

It's a truly stupendous looking event, rolling in across a Helsinki beach in a matter of minutes, sending people fleeing for shelter. As it happens, a previous War of the Worlds radio panic was made worse when the radio station described the invaders as advancing on the capital inside a huge cloud. People saw ordinary storm clouds in the sky and panicked. Fortunately there was (apparently) no alien spaceship inside the Helsinki cloud, but as an example of freak weather, this is certainly out of this world.
Battle: Los Angeles has War of the Worlds vibe
I'm getting a distinct War of the Worlds vibe from the forthcoming movie Battle: Los Angeles. There's not a lot known yet about the film as only a few seconds of footage have been officially released, but the poster campaign is inspired. I particularly like the reference to the "The Great Los Angeles Air Raid" of 1942, when jumpy anti aircraft crews opened up on a phalanx of mystery lights that buzzed the city. Was it an off course flock of geese, or could it have been a fleet of flying saucers? Battle: Los Angeles goes for the latter, suggesting that the "Air Raid" was just the tip of the iceberg, and now in modern times, the aliens are back in force, and they're definitely not friendly.
Here's the worlds shortest trailer, clocking in at 2 seconds. Not sure if this is official or something grabbed at the recent Comic-Con.
And here's that fantastic poster.
Gulliver of Mars: Beyond the War of the Worlds
A new comic book that blends the Martian adventurer Lt. Gulliver Jones with the Mars of H.G Wells is on the way. Writer Mark Ellis and artist Preston Asevedo look to be on to a winner with this intriguing mash up. Gulliver Jones is the original Martian hero, predating the more famous John Carter by a number of years. In bringing the two books together, Ellis is imagining a post invasion earth traumatised by the Martian onslaught, a situation he postulates would, "make the fear the US experienced in the wake of 9/ll seem like concern over a hangnail." Jones is back on earth when we rejoin him, a hero of the war against the Martians, and now ready to take command of a new space vessel based on Martian technology that has been reverse engineered by none other than Nikola Tesla. Nice to see Tesla get a shot at taking on the Martians, as his great rival Thomas Edison had a similar opportunity in the 1898 newspaper serial Edison's Conquest Of Mars. You can find some fantastic art from Gulliver of Mars: Beyond the War of the Worlds here.

Finding Wadume, By Dele Agekameh
Premium Times August 21, 2019 Finding Wadume, By Dele Agekameh2019-08-21T11:59:11+00:00 Columns, Dele Agekameh, Issues of the Day No Comment
The impunity with which some Nigerians have claimed they have been treated at the hands of security agents generally has now been visited on members of that class. The death of the officers is a tragedy and the hearts of Nigerians go to their relatives, who have to pick up the pieces.
Since the slow decline that began just before the turn of the decade, starting in 2010, insecurity in Nigeria has reached alarming levels. With the fear that this decline has generated in the minds of Nigerians, the last thing the country needs is for two of its most important security forces to be at each other's throats. What the country needs, even less, are the insinuations of complicity in the insecurity that has smeared the image of our armed forces and other security agencies for the past few years. Therefore, the recent report of the killing of some policemen by soldiers in Taraba State is one most unwelcome news.
According to reports, an Intelligence Response Team of the Police, deployed from the force headquarters in Abuja, apprehended a suspected kidnap kingpin, identified as one Hamisu Bala, on Tuesday, August 6. The team was transporting the restrained suspect to the Police command headquarters in Jalingo when they were gunned down by soldiers at a checkpoint near a village, along the Ibi-Wukari Road in Taraba State. Police sources claim that the police team had adequate means of identification. The Army spokesmen, on the other hand, claimed that the policemen were mistaken for kidnappers.
The picture of mistaken identity that should ordinarily emerge from the accounts of the different security agencies is however shattered by one vital detail. The suspect, Hamisu Bala, known locally in Taraba as Alhaji Wadume, was nowhere to be found. Four people are reported to have been killed in the shooting – three police officers and one civilian – but none of them is the suspected kidnap kingpin. An understandably furious police has released statements with not-so-veiled accusations directed at the army, asking one important question: Where is Wadume?
As at the time of writing, there is no answer to that question. After trading barbs with the Police, recent moves by the Army have shown, at least, a partial acknowledgement of possible wrongdoing by one or more of its officers. The Army has advised its officers in all formations to avoid confrontation with aggrieved policemen in their places of deployment. Then there is the news of the investigation of six soldiers, including one captain, who are supposedly responsible for the death of the policemen. Most importantly, Defence Headquarters has issued a directive to the troops responsible, the 93 Battalion stationed in Taraba, to produce Wadume.
Since the shooting, the police has not let off on its accusations and insinuations, of a possible cover-up by the Army, in light of what it paints as connivance between soldiers and the kidnap kingpin, who is thought to be on the run. Particularly, the Police has expressed fear that the suspected kidnap kingpin may be killed by soldiers if they get to him first. This open display of distrust between the two security forces is a new low in the rivalry and often confrontational relationship that exists between security agencies in Nigeria.
Evidence of a close relationship between the army captain, now facing investigation, and the suspected kidnapper, has also come to light. It may be too early to speculate about the nature of that relationship, but the chips are falling into place and the picture emerging is appalling. The Army may be unable to explain this one away.
Eye-witness accounts of the incident, in some reports, have it that the policemen were seen trying to evade a group of Wadume loyalists who were on their heels, which caused the team to speed past the checkpoint before the soldiers opened fire on them. Two of the policemen were said to have died in the initial barrage of bullets, while the third, in his panicked fumbling for his Identity Card, was reportedly shot at point black range.
Under normal circumstances, because the Police team was travelling in an unmarked vehicle, and because of apparent misleading reports to soldiers by Wadume supporters about his being kidnapped, maybe one could have forgiven the soldiers their mistake. But the mistake theory was impeached by the evidence in the video that circulated online, where the soldiers showed no remorse about the revelation that the victims could have, in fact, been policemen. That same lack of remorse was displayed by the Army spokesmen afterwards.
Evidence of a close relationship between the army captain, now facing investigation, and the suspected kidnapper, has also come to light. It may be too early to speculate about the nature of that relationship, but the chips are falling into place and the picture emerging is appalling. The Army may be unable to explain this one away. It causes one to wonder what other 'mistakes' may have been committed in the past. The fact that Wadume was let go at the scene, even after the apparent discovery that the men killed could have been policemen, also raises eyebrows. The competing theories now are that of Army complicity or lack of procedural intelligence and good professional instinct by the soldiers.
While we are on the subject of complicity and professional integrity, it is important to note that no matter how much the police want to vilify the Army for the death of the policemen in this case, the two security agencies are alike in their seeming lack of professional integrity. Confidence in our security forces is low, and when public distrust is compounded by inter-agency suspicion, incidents like this are the results we will get.
The appropriate authorities must act, and act quickly, in this fast-closing window of opportunity, to salvage whatever vestige of confidence is left in the nation's security apparatus. Once the window of opportunity for a strong recovery closes, only the window of doubt, in any outcome, will remain. The longer this matter stretches, the more skeptical Nigerians will become, even if Wadume is later found. An issue of this magnitude, that is shaping out to become a scandal for the Army, must be handled decisively. For this to happen, there must be a clear line of authority through which instructions must pass unhindered.
If there are indeed sections of the Army that have been compromised, how can the ranks be cleansed when the public does not even know who, besides the commander-in chief of the armed forces, to hold responsible for any such cleansing? With discipline in the military generally at an all time low, strict orders need to fly down the ranks.
This column has written repeatedly about the lack of a clear line of authority in military operations. The Army, for example, has the chief of Army staff (COAS), the chief of defence staff (CDS), minister of defence and national security adviser (NSA) to contend with. The line connecting these officials is blurry, and their interests have been known to compete, rather than converge, in the hierarchy of authority. This results in divided loyalty, which travels down within the ranks of the military and that makes the job that must be done in a case like this difficult.
If there are indeed sections of the Army that have been compromised, how can the ranks be cleansed when the public does not even know who, besides the commander-in chief of the armed forces, to hold responsible for any such cleansing? With discipline in the military generally at an all time low, strict orders need to fly down the ranks. Lately, we have had news of women being plucked out of the street to be raped by soldiers, indiscriminate killings, beatings and many things that occurred under the old military era.
The impunity with which some Nigerians have claimed they have been treated at the hands of security agents generally has now been visited on members of that class. The death of the officers is a tragedy and the hearts of Nigerians go to their relatives, who have to pick up the pieces. But we all hope that the shame of this episode helps security agents to have an awakening about their engagement in the field and how it is seen by the public.
Perhaps, Wadume will be caught and bigger revelations will be made, perhaps not. What is important is for the facts that have come out not to be ignored or eased out of public consciousness, like many things in the past have. If Wadume really is a kidnap kingpin, then his recapture does more than throw a spanner into the wheel of kidnappers in Nigeria. For the Army, its integrity in this case hinges on finding, and delivering Wadume. For the police, finding Wadume is a vindication and a win in a tough time in its public relations. For Nigerians, finding Wadume means hope for an end to debilitating insecurity.

text: Q: Any surviving green eyed Kaminoans in Star Wars Canon or Expanded Universe? I read in Star Wars that the species known as the Kaminoans created a caste system based on eye-color. At the bottom of this system were those born with green eyes who were viewed as such a threat to Kaminoan society that they were killed shortly after being born. What I want to know is if there are any stories in the Star Wars Canon or the Expanded Universe about a Kaminoan with green eyes surviving extermination somehow.

Judy Versus Capitalism
Deeply personal and visually experimental biography of second-wave feminist, radical activist and journalist Judy Rebick.
In this portrait, consisting of a collage of the works, archive materials, and creative images by one of Canada's most expressive video artists, Colin Campbell (1942–2001), Mike Hoolboom looks for parallels with his own work. He addresses broader issues about video as a medium and includes interviews with Canadian artists. The end result is a non-traditional approach to film narrative.
Imitations of Life
Even in this film Mike Hoolboom works with the history of film, with material that is not untangled from interpretations...
Tom is an ethereal stream of bright images, a brooding nightmare about life of obsession, an emotional profile of the director's friend Tom Chomont - a photographer, filmmaker, video artist and a prominent figure of the New York underground culture.
In Mexico, first prize winner at Oberhausen Short Film Festival, we are taken to Mexico City and back to Toronto in a timeless, beautifully filmed and paced journey through the 'New World Order' with images of bullfights, dinosaur graveyards, aquariums, tourists climbing the Aztec Pyramids and the belching smoke of a North American factory polluting the Mexican jungle.

Syrian Army Ambushes Large Islamist Contingent in As-Sweida; Israeli Weapons Confiscated
On Thursday morning, the Syrian Arab Army's 5th Armored Division – in coordination with the National Defense Forces (NDF) and Palestine Liberation Army (PLA) – laid a powerful ambush on a large Islamist rebel contingent traveling through the hills of Al-Khalidiyah in the As-Sweida Governorate.
The militants from the Syrian Al-Qaeda group "Jabhat Al-Nusra" and their allies from "Liwaa Al-Yarmouk" and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) were traveling through Al-Khalidiyah in order to transport a multitude of Israeli and American manufactured weapons to their fighters entrenched in the northern countryside of As-Sweida.
Video evidence from the ambush was released by members of the NDF, which depicted approximately 30 armed militants traveling through a desolate area in Al-Khalidiyah before a roadside bomb was detonated by the Syrian Armed Forces; this resulted in the death of all the Islamist fighters traveling in the convoy.
After the ambush, members of the Syrian Armed Forces inspected the site, discovering a large cache of heavy weaponry that included American made anti-tank TOW missiles, assault rifles, ammunition, and rocket propelled grenades.

The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals recently considered the validity of a municipality's ban on signs, flags, and banners on highway overpasses in Luce v.Town of Campbell. In that case, several local activists began placing political signs and banners on highway overpasses and pedestrian bridges, with some of the messages encouraging passing drivers to honk if they supported the activists views. In response, the town enacted a content-neutral ordinance forbidding all signs, flags, and banners on any overpass within the town, and also within 100 feet of the end of any overpass. In passing this ordinance, the town relied on information presented by the town's police chief regarding the traffic problems created by these signs and banners.
Upset with the town's removal of their banners, the activists posted videos online showing the town's police officers removing individuals who were unfurling a large American flag on an overpass. In a somewhat bizarre twist, the town's police chief decided to retaliate against the activists himself by posting allegedly false and defamatory comments online. When the police chief's misconduct was discovered, the activists sued both the police chief and the town for violations of the First Amendment, among other claims.
First, the court found that the police chief was not acting under color of state law when he defamed the activists, as these actions were clearly not related to the police chief's official duties. As such, the court held that the First Amendment did not apply to the police chief's actions. However, the court stated that, due to his misconduct, the police chief's credibility had been undermined.
Next, the court then turned to the activists' claims that the overpass sign ban violated the First Amendment. The court noted that the information the town relied on in passing the ordinance came from the town's police chief, and that the police chief's statements could no longer be accepted as truthful. The activists argued that all time, place, and manner restrictions on speech require empirical support. The activists claimed that, with the evidence provided by the police chief discredited, the town's time, place, and manner regulation prohibiting overpass signs had no empirical support and was therefore invalid.
Nevertheless, the court acknowledged that the Supreme Court has never required empirical evidence for all time, place, and manner restrictions. The court reasoned that, while every time, place, and manner regulation must serve a significant governmental interest, empirical support is not necessary when the governmental interest is obvious. The court found that the town's ban on signs and banners on overpasses themselves was valid. The court held that the town's attempt to reduce the incidence of sudden braking on highways due to distracting signs and banners was not irrational or an attempt to suppress speech, even despite the lack empirical data. The court stated that it "did not take an empirical study" to know that an overhead sign is bound to cause some drivers to slow down to read it, thereby increasing the risk of accidents. So, the 7th Circuit found the town's ban on signs on overpasses constitutional.
However, the court came to a different conclusion on the town's ban on signs within 100 feet of an overpass. The court cited the fact that this ban prohibited homeowners within 100 feet of an overpass from putting up a small "For Sale" sign or a "Merry Christmas" banner in their front yards. The court did not see any reason why signs that are off the highway and too small to cause drivers to react should be banned. Because the town had not even attempted to justify this 100 foot rule at all, the court found the 100 foot ban invalid.
This case should serve as a reminder to all municipalities that time, place, and manner restrictions on speech need to be carefully considered before they are enacted, and always in consultation with the municipality's attorney.

Library Board Trustee Position Description
About the Library Board
Public Library Boards are governing boards, legal corporations with the authority to make policy and to govern the library's affairs under the Public Libraries Act, RSO 1990, c. P.44.
A Board's duty is to provide comprehensive, effective and efficient public library service that reflects the community's needs and builds community capacity.
The stakeholders of today's libraries expect strong leadership. Consequently modern governance must reach beyond ongoing budget oversight and a regular strategic planning exercise to embrace new ideas, and forge strong relationships that will support the library in its Vision and Mission.
The Responsibilities of the Library Board
The primary roles of the Uxbridge Public Library Board are to:
Set the vision, mission and strategic direction for the library and, using strategic planning techniques, determine a strategy map to get there;
Make policy within the framework of government legislation and regulations;
Oversee the library's finances in accordance with public accounting principles and requirements and within municipal budget policy and procedures;
Monitor overall effectiveness of the library in meeting community needs in an efficient and effective manner and evaluate progress on the strategic plan;
Set fees where allowed by the Public Libraries Act;
Hire and evaluate a qualified Chief Executive Officer to implement the strategic plan and to manage the day-today delivery of public service and daily operations of the library.
The Library Board has the authority to act on behalf of the library; individual board members have no authority to act on their own.
Uxbridge Public Library Board Trustees
As a member of a library Board, a trustee must act honestly and in good faith and in the best interests of the library. This means that the interests of the library take precedence over personal interests or those of any group with which the trustee is associated.
Trustees are required to conduct themselves in accordance with the Uxbridge Public Library Boards Members Code of Conduct, which states the Board commits itself and its members to ethical, businesslike and lawful conduct, including proper use of authority and appropriate decorum when acting as Board members. The Uxbridge Public Library believes that it is the right of all employees, Board members, volunteers and any person having a relationship with the Library be treated with dignity and respect. The library is committed to providing a working environment which promotes mutual respect, provides equal opportunities and is free from harassment.
Trustee Roles
The person appointed to the Library Board must be:
A Canadian citizen;
At least 18 years old;
A resident of Uxbridge; and
Not employed by the Library Board or the Municipality
Along with the governance, legal and fiscal roles, Library Board Trustees are expected to support and participate in the community engagement by:
Establishing the library as an essential community service;
Building community pride in the library;
Advocating the library's role in the community;
Maintaining an open dialogue with the community;
Building strong relationships with Municipal Council;
Being aware of the municipal planning context; and
Developing strategic partnerships with community groups and leaders.
In order to fulfill the above, Uxbridge Public Library requires a well-rounded Library Board with competent, experienced trustees. The trustee's job is not an easy one: it requires the ability to work towards a vision and to think in broad, future oriented terms while maintaining a commitment to move vision to reality. This requires understanding and discussing the philosophical aspects of library service while implementing the necessary governance measures to achieve desires services. A good trustee keeps the overall vision, mission and value promise in mind while acting strategically.
Essential Competencies & Qualifications
The essential core competences and qualifications for an Uxbridge Public Library Trustee are:
Conviction that the public library is essential and uniquely important to the life of all Uxbridge residents and communities within Uxbridge

We know how hard you work, and how much money your healthcare facility spends to ensure clean, sterile, moisture-free instruments for every surgical procedure to reduce your patients' risk of contracting a surgical infection. Regretfully, far too many surgical instruments are difficult, if not impossible, to thoroughly decontaminate, clean and sterilize.
Nationally recognized expert Jahan Azizi, BS, CBET, spent over 20 years as the Risk Manager, Clinical Engineer at the University of Michigan Clinical Health System. During those years, Jahan conducted extensive, groundbreaking research into why certain medical devices are so problematic when it comes to the reprocessing challenges you face every day.
What are the most difficult/impossible to clean surgical instruments.
What are the design issues with impossible to clean surgical instruments?
Have the manufacturers' Instruction For Use (IFU) been validated?
Why current IFUs may not be effective.
We hope you find Jahan's presentation to be of value to you and your staff as you face the daily challenge of providing clean, sterile, moisture-free instruments for every patient, every time.

The Waterline Summit 2020
19 October	- 23 October 2020
Monday, 19th October – Adaptation and Resilience Day: Sponsored by Yorkshire Energy Park
Strengthening our Capacity to Adapt to a Changing Climate
Participants: Dave Richards, Pro-Vice Chancellor, University of Hull, Dr Mark Fletcher, Arup Fellow, Director and Global Water Business Leader, Nevil Muncaster, Chief Strategy and Regulation Officer, Yorkshire Water, Jo Barnes, Director, Yorkshire Energy Park, David Gent, CEO, Active Humber.
There is a need to develop a strategic response to climate change through a variety of mechanisms suited to our national circumstances. These include national adaptation strategies and local-level initiatives, such as adaptation plans. The challenge is to translate planning into successful implementation, building on examples of good practices that have emerged to build resilience to flooding, housing, utilities infrastructure, as well as building our energy and power resilience for the future.
"We have everything we need here in the Humber – we have the heritage of carbon-intensive industry, right through to new emerging low-carbon industries.
"There is a need to build momentum and accelerate what we have, and showcase it to the world." – Dave Richards, Pro-Vice Chancellor, University of Hull
"The region has a key part to play in the UK economy, we can lead the way to be carbon restorative. This resilience provides the perfect platform for the Humber to be a leader and a global example. Working collaboratively is the only way we are going to tackle the challenge of climate change." – Nevil Muncaster, Chief Strategy and Regulation Office, Yorkshire Water
Earth 2050 and The Culture of Climate Change Debate
Participants: Emma Hardy, MP Hull West & Hessle, Shadow Minister for Further Education, Higher Education, Apprenticeships & Skills, Dr Briony McDonagh, Reader in Historical Geography, Risky Cities Project, Dr Christina Roggatz, Research Fellow, E&EI & Scientific Advisor, The Deep, Kelly Stanford, Artist & Science Communicator, Anthony Gill, Cycling Delivery Manager, Yorkshire Region, British Cycling
Winners of the Earth2050 art competition were announced live by Emma Hardy.
The culture debate explored the effect climate change is having on our region, and how changing behaviours and influencing beliefs can be achieved through culture. We all have a part to play in the Humber's journey to a net-zero carbon future. Everyone's actions can make a real difference in this journey and there are lots of exciting community activities and projects you can be involved in. Will you play your part?
"The Waterline campaign has never been more important. Getting involved is the most important. Only through collective action we will facilitate the changes necessary to tackle climate change." – Emma Hardy, MP for Hull West and Hessle
"Children and young people are key drivers to inspire community action and change habits, but we need to give them a way to both be inspired, and to inspire us." - Dr Christina Roggatz, Research Fellow, E&EI & Scientific Advisor, The Deep
"30-40% of the world's population live withing 100km of the sea. Society needs to build resilience on a local, national and global scale. Communities and business must learn to live with water in our increasingly uncertain future." – Dr Briony McDonagh, Reader in Historical Geography, Risky Cities Project
Aura - Adapting and Collaborating in the Humber for a Sustainable Future – Green Innovation Transformation in Practice
Participants: Louise Smith, Director, Aura, Pauline Mitchell, SparkFund Programme Manager, Pip Betts, Flood Innovation Centre Project Manager
The ability to innovate and adapt has never been more important as we seek to build a Net-Zero region to adapt to climate change. The current disruption has given business the opportunity to come up with innovative solutions to build a greener future. In this session we will be celebrating how Humber businesses have been collaborating with Aura and our sister brands to turn their innovative solutions into a reality.
"Low carbon innovation in action can be a small thing leading to much bigger things." - Louise Smith, Director, Aura
"When we discuss low carbon innovation people's minds go to wind turbines and other established methods, but the ways we can reduce carbon is far more broad when we look at an object's inherent carbon. We need to think outside the box away from what we are used to. You may think an idea is too modest, however modest it may seem, come and talk to us." – Pauline Mitchell, Programme Manager, SparkFund
TUESDAY, 20TH OCTOBER – CLEAN GROWTH DAY: SPONSORED BY PHILLIPS 66
Leading the UK to Net Zero Through Technological Innovation
Participants: Melanie Onn, Deputy Chief Executive, RenewableUK, Dan Sadler, UK Low Carbon Strategy Director, Equinor, Emma Toulson, Lead Stakeholder Advisor, Ørsted UK, Darren Cunningham, Lead Executive UK & GM Humber Refinery, Phillips 66, Martin Haworth, MD, Birch Energy.
Clean and green growth alongside economic growth must go hand in hand with greater protection for our environment. Achieving clean growth, while ensuring affordable energy supply for businesses and consumers, is at the heart of the UK's Industrial Strategy.
Significant advances in offshore wind, carbon capture, and the hydrogen economy will enable the UK and our region to lead in the transition to a net-zero carbon economy.
"We need to find a way to use the clean green electricity from our windfarms to decarbonise industries that are much more difficult, the way we aim to do this is through using our power to produce clean hydrogen." – Emma Toulson, Ørsted UK
"The Humber has a unique, distinct advantage and should be the first place to demonstrate these innovative concepts on how we decarbonise industry.
"We have a historic opportunity for our region that we need to make sure we grasp." – Darren Cunningham, Phillips 66
"Equinor are not in the Humber by chance. We believe the Humber offers the best opportunity for the world's first at-scale low carbon economy." – Dan Sadler, Equinor UK
Student Session Delivered by Ørsted UK
Hosted by Lauren Little, Stakeholder Advisor (Humber)
Orsted, the people behind the world's most sustainable company are joining us live to explore the question: 'What is the future of sustainable energy?'. With a strong focus on careers and the people behind this exceptional company, students will learn about the huge projects taking place right here in the Humber region and what it means for them regarding their future careers and opportunities.
"We chose the Humber as a base as it is the closest to our windfarms and allows our teams to get out there safely and quickly. Hornsea 3 and 4, beyond Hornsea 2, the world's largest offshore windfarm, are in development and expected to be even bigger than their predecessors." – Lauren Little
How Hull can become carbon neutral and increase prosperity
Participants: Martin Budd, Climate Change Manager, Hull City Council, Dr Jessica Fox, Flood and Climate Scientist, Hull Flood Risk, Professor Dan Parson, Director, Energy and Environment Institute, University of Hull
The webinar explored the 2030 Carbon Neutral Strategy for Hull covering the eight decarbonisation areas including work the Council is undertaking on energy, the co-benefits of the flood adaptation work and Hull Food Partnership. The webinar also looked at some of the outcomes of the UK Climate Assembly which asked the question what do a representative sample of the UK population think we need to do to be carbon neutral? This was followed by a discussion with those attending the webinar on what we are doing in Hull and what we can do and the applicability of the climate assembly findings to Hull.
"There are opportunities in the city for us to install wind turbines, we need to work on where they can go, how they may work and how they would look. We will also look at urban solar farms to add to the energy mix." - Martin Budd
"Just like climate change, flooding is going to happen. But what we can do is change how much it affects us, by increasing awareness and being prepared." - Dr Jessica Fox
"We need to test how to best deploy and operate this new technology, which has the potential to decarbonise our residential housing stock across the country, whilst simultaneously addressing fuel poverty through a reduction in heating costs." - Professor Dan Parsons
WEDNESDAY, 21ST OCTOBER – NATURE-BASED: SPONSORED BY BISHOP BURTON COLLEGE
Nature Contributing to Climate Mitigations
Participants: Professor Dan Parsons, Director, Energy and Environment Institute, University of Hull, David Shukman, Science Editor, BBC News, Emma Howard-Boyd, Chair, Environment Agency and UK Commissioner to the Global Commission on Adaptation, Bill Meredith, Principal, Bishop Burton College, Hilary Hamer, Chair, Rooted in Hull project 'Hull a Sustainable Food City'.
Managing the environment better and restoring natural habitats and processes can help to protect people from the effects of climate change.
Nature can contribute to climate mitigation with conservation, restoration, and/or improved land management actions that increase carbon storage and/or avoid greenhouse gas emissions across global forests, wetlands, grasslands, and agricultural lands.
"It is important to be careful and quite hard-nosed of how we are judging the impact of climate mitigation schemes, some can in fact be negative in impact, but the majority are positive.
"The question we ask in the news world is how do natural mitigations work in the real world, and in this case the real world this means the political world and how land is used and allocated." – David Shukman
"It is about working with nature, understanding natural processes, and how we as societies can live with those processes, and enhance them for the benefit of all." – Dan Parsons
"Nature based solutions deliver more jobs per dollar, are easier to maintain and are more sustainable than other solutions in the long run."
"If the whole country is to meet net-zero by 2050, some regions and organisations will need to show how it's done." – Emma Howard-Boyd
"The top 1m of the world's soil contains as much carbon as the entire atmosphere, so it is a big carbon sink. The solution to decarbonisation is under our feet."
"Agriculture contributes 10% of greenhouses gases in the UK, mainly from livestock. We can reduce this significantly through increasing production efficiencies, on-farm carbon storage, and generation of renewable energy." – Bill Meredith
"Rooted in Hull is a wonderful, small scale pilot project - an urban farm on a 'meanwhile-use site'. We waste 10m tonnes of a food a year, our project looks at the way we use our surplus food and we are getting better at it, but we have a long way to go." – Hilary Hamer
Student Session with Yorkshire Water
Delivered by Margaret Boyd, Education Adviser
Everyone is responsible for managing water, both when we have too much and when we have too little.
The Living with Water partnership in Hull and the East Riding are working together and with you, to build communities that live and thrive with water rather than fear it. Working together we aim to reduce flood risk, build community resilience and improve place.
Did you know that Hull and the surrounding area has the second highest flood risk in the UK?
The Living with Water session included a recap of the water cycle, a description and explanation of flooding and how the community can be involved in preparing and planning for flooding events. We also discussed how the Living with Water partners are joining forces to reduce the impacts of flood risk and build resilience and how you too can play your part.
"Our future generations should be growing up in a resilient world, one where blue/green natural engineering solutions have become the norm, creating beautiful features that also manage flood risk. A more natural region where we all live with water and thrive for years to come." - Margaret Boyd
Humber Re-Leaf & The Green Task Force: A carbon forestry approach to mental health
Delivered by Andy Steel, PATT Foundation
An alternative look at carbon capture via nature-based solutions. A project that has the ability to create a revolving financial fund, create employment for veterans and support posttraumatic growth.
"Once the sixth carbon budget is announced, that will create a gold rush and demand to purchase carbon. If you can't reduce and you have to offset, what options do you have? Carbon forestry can be a cost effective alternative, but it is not going to offset entirely. Companies will gain a significant advantage from getting involved in the carbon market early." – Andy Steel
Thursday, 22nd October - International Business Day: Sponsored by SSE Thermal
Why the World Needs the Humber?
Host: Nadine Dereza, Business Presenter

Lizzie was born in the town of Beverley that sits within the Humber region and is Vice-Chair of Team GB's Athletes Commission.
Liz Barber, CEO, Kelda Group & Yorkshire Water - What role does Yorkshire Water play in responding to climate change? Liz explains how Yorkshire Water is reducing their own carbon impact and how they are changing their operations to deal with its consequences. Innovative water solutions and the Living with Water initiative will also feature in Liz's presentation.
Andrew Bailey, Governor, Bank of England - Sustainable finance and leading the change: climate action in the financial sector. Andrew's presentation will feature the importance of a sustainable financial system and how it can help to amplify the impacts of climate policies and accelerate the transition to a lower carbon economy
"As industry looks to rebuild and grow, this is built on innovation in the UK, we are leaders in innovation. Government has a real focus on the green recovery and a refreshed industrial strategy including exciting technologies in hydrogen and CCUS.
"I would love to see the Humber being one of the key areas as develop clusters of CCUS." - Stephen Phipson
"We must look forward now. We need to emphasis everything we can do to tackle the big risks we face and act early on them.
"There are huge commercial opportunities in climate change and there is a key role for private finance. We have had pretty weak business investment in recent years and weak productivity growth - we need to change that in the recovery in focusing on climate change."
"There is a great demand to invest in supporting climate change." - Andrew Bailey
"We are attracting more sustainable investors, as a consequence of that we are able to access better rates when borrowing money. We're aiming to set up the first true carbon trading platform with landowners in Yorkshire for which we are seeking investment." - Liz Barber
The Waterline Live - International Webinar
The host of The Waterline Live podcast series, Jonathan Levy, brought his climate conversation to your screen with a major webinar of international guests to explore the latest trends in climate change, the global demand for solutions and the resulting opportunities for Humber organisations to respond and export their products, services and expertise around the world. Jonathan explained: "We'll be talking to distinguished international leaders from research, business and government to provide actionable insights into how the Humber can help the world avoid a global climate crisis."
"I have read the waterline pledge and would sign up and tick every single one of the boxes. We must do them all." - Johannes Cullman
"When you're trying to move to net zero you can't ignore the Humber. There are very ambitious proposals coming forward to transform the Humber's footprint to net zero in the 2030s. The Humber really is at the heart of so much, the global economics of the offshore wind industry have been transformed here." - Graham Stuart MP
"Asia is set to become a leader in offshore wind by 2025. Taiwan, Japan, Korea and Vietnam are looking for companies to fill gaps that they can't domestically and competing for attention. I would encourage people to look beyond China and see Asia as a whole region." - Natalie Black CBE
World Humber One: How the Energy Estuary can lead the way in low-carbon power
Marion Troy, Head of Corporate Affairs, SSE Thermal, David Laister, Business Editor – Humber Business Live, Andrew Percy MP for Brigg and Goole, Grete Tveit, Senior Vice President, Low Carbon Solutions, Equinor ASA, Martin Cook, Business Development Director, National Grid, Steve Scrimshaw, Senior Vice President, Siemens Energy UK & Ireland.
Marion Troy discussed how the Humber can lead the way in low-carbon power generation – if you can do it here you can do it anywhere – and the role of the Keadby Clean Power Hub in achieving this, while ensuring security of supply and stimulating a green recovery in the region. This included a focus on first-of-a-kind technology investments at Keadby 2 and the ambition to deliver the UK's first power-CCS project at Keadby 3.
"When explained in the context of securing people's jobs and greening people's jobs you get considerable buy-in in tackling climate change and greening our economy.
"The Government understands this will only happen if we have government intervention and support. Not just money, but policy and legislative changes. You have to have buy in across government across all levels." - Andrew Percy MP
"There is no net-zero UK without a net-zero Humber, so this is the natural place to invest in infrastructure to decarbonise." - Marion Troy
FRIDAY 23rd October - Sustainable Finance Day: Sponsored by HSBC UK
Unlocking Capital to Transform Our Industrial Clusters
Industrial clusters have the potential to be a catalyst in scaling up critical technologies like low-carbon hydrogen and decarbonising heavy-industries. Their network effect can facilitate larger-scale activities across low-carbon hydrogen production, distribution and storage, and end-usage through coordination between industries that are geographically in proximity. They can leverage their existing infrastructure, aggregate end-use demand and provide the business-case for larger scale production, all of which can help de-risk projects and facilitate larger capital flows. Attracting private and commercial funding will be important, however, as public funding available covers a fraction of the investment required.
Led by HSBC UK and IP Group, the purpose of this panel session outlined the opportunities for larger-scale hydrogen and CCS projects in clusters as well as financing challenges/opportunities. We heard from 3 key businesses in the region, all with investment projects to transition the Humber industrial cluster to a net-zero carbon future. These businesses will engage in discussion with finance to explore opportunities and address the bottlenecks to financing scale up.
"The Humber is a world leading industrial cluster. It's history, traditions and culture are steeped in industrial expertise and entrepreneurial spirit.
"There is a huge range of opportunities, I'm delighted to see the the progress of Humber Zero, Zero Carbon Humber and H2H Saltend.
"The Humber region has established itself as a real powerhouse as far as energy is concerned. It presents a beacon to many other industrial clusters across the UK." - Kwasi Kwarteng MP
"Drax's change from coal to biomass represents the single biggest decarbonisation project in the whole of Europe, on our doorstep.
"This country cannot reach net zero without BECCS, and Drax can be a big part of that. Drax will put the Humber cluster at the forefront of the country's transition to net zero." - Richard Gwilliam, Drax
