Milan – Assicurazioni Generali's Board of Directors, which met today under the chairmanship of Gabriele Galateri di Genola, deliberated to terminate the employment contract with General Manager and Group CFO Alberto Minali.
Minali reached an agreement with the Company for the termination of his employment contract, according to which he will leave the Group on 31 January, 2017 and, at present, will not be replaced in his role as General Manager foreseen by the Statute.
The terms, defined according to the remuneration policies of the Generali Group, provide for the payment of:
- a gross severance of € 2,119,833.33 (equaling 14 month pay), in addition to the gross notice value of € 2,158,119.60;
- the Short Term Incentive 2016 bonus (quantified at € 1,000,000 gross) and the Long Term Incentive 2014-2016 (to be quantified) as accrued according to the terms and conditions (including claw-back) as provided by the relevant regulations;
- a non-competition commitment compensation (equal to € 500,000 gross) already foreseen by the agreement signed on 18 March 2016 and referring to a period of six months for the main competitors, and a period of 4 months for the other players in the financial and insurance sector;
At present, Alberto Minali owns n. 428,561 shares of Assicurazioni Generali SpA.
The Board of Directors, after positive feedback from the Board of Auditors, has then appointed, as of today, Mr. Luigi Lubelli, current Group Head of Corporate Finance, to Group CFO and Manager in charge of preparing the Group's corporate accounts. Mr. Lubelli will join the Group Management Committee.
Following the decisions taken, all the first-level business functions previously reporting to Minali, will report directly to the Group CEO, Philippe Donnet with immediate effect.
The Board of Directors, after receiving positive feedback from the Corporate Governance and Social&Environmental Sustainability Committee, also deliberated that the current Investment Committee extend its advisory and consultative capabilities to operations of strategic nature in support of the Group's executive bodies. The committee therefore changes its name to "Investments and Strategic Operations Committee"; headed by the Group CEO, Philippe Donnet, and is composed of Gabriele Galateri di Genola, Francesco Gaetano Caltagirone, Lorenzo Pellicioli, Clemente Rebecchini and Paola Sapienza; the Group CFO, the Group CRO and the Group CIO are stable participants.
The Board of Directors of Assicurazioni Generali SpA has also been informed by the Group CEO with an update of the execution of the strategic plan presented on November 2016 and expressed its satisfaction with its progress.
The Chairman of Assicurazioni Generali, Gabriele Galateri di Genola, stated: "On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Mr. Minali for his great contribution to Generali Group over the past years and I express my best wishes for his professional future. The appointment of Luigi Lubelli is a positive news, also because it confirms the high level of skill and professionalism within Assicurazioni Generali".

Highlighting his introspective side, "Simply Curry" represents a departure from some of Craig's other books stylistically and technically. Craig has chosen seven hymns of meditation and enhanced them with his gift for harmony and keyboard color yet at an accessible technical level. Although most of the jazz harmonies are absent, all the hallmarks of Craig's creativity and skill remain. Ideal for quiet preludes, offertories, and communion services, "Simply Curry" is a book you will draw from again and again.

A tooth extraction is an undesirable, but common dental procedure for impacted, decayed, or injured teeth. With anesthesia and sedation, Charles F. Lockhart, DDS, MAGD, makes the process as pleasant as possible at Jefferson Park Smile Corner, serving the greater Chicago area. If you need to get a tooth pulled, call the clinic or schedule an appointment using the online booking system.
When do you recommend tooth extractions?
Dr. Lockhart has a variety of advanced and time-tested tools in his arsenal to save your teeth, but sometimes a tooth just can't be saved — such as with overcrowding or impacted teeth.
For a simple extraction, Dr. Lockhart uses a dental elevator to loosen the tooth from the socket. Then, he uses a forceps to remove the tooth and stitches the opening shut.
If you need a surgical extraction for a tooth below the gumline, Dr. Lockhart has to make an incision before the procedure and stitch the wound closed afterward.
Dr. Lockhart discusses the procedure and your preferences for sedation with you beforehand. He also administers local anesthetic so you don't feel any pain during the extraction.
How do I take care of the extraction site?
Dr. Lockhart has you hold wet gauze over the site after the extraction for 30-45 minutes. If your gums are still bleeding, you can use a new, dampened piece of gauze for another half-hour until a blood clot forms.
Use a cold compress on your face to help reduce pain and swelling. Use over-the-counter or prescription pain medication as directed by Dr. Lockhart.
A dry socket is a painful condition that results when the blood clot over the wound never forms or falls off. Contact Dr. Lockhart right away if you have dry sockets or unusual pain.
To prevent dry sockets, try not to disturb the blood clot by smoking, sucking through a straw, rinsing with mouthwash, or participating in strenuous activity.
If you need a tooth extraction, call Jefferson Park Smile Corner or use the online scheduling system to make an appointment.


Kurukshetra city is part of Haryana state. Kurukshetra is a holy and religious place of Hindus.The city is also known as "Dharma-Kshetra". The city finds its mention in the first verse of Bhagvata Gita as "Dharma-Kshetra".
Kurukshetra is mentioned in many holy scriptures, vedas and Puranas of Hindu religion.The war of Mahabharata was fought here so Kurukshetra is also known as the land of Mahabharata. The place is holy because Lord Krishna gave the holy preaching of Bhagvat Gita here for the enlightenment of the humanity.
When the war of Mahabharat was about to start then the Pandava Arjun declined to fight, then Lord Krishna gave the holy preaching of Gita to Arjuna. After getting enlightenment and all his doubts cleared, Arjuna decided to fight the war. Many other historical wars have been fought at this place apart from Mahabharata.
According to mythology, Kurukshetra is spreaded over 48 kosas. The city is surrounded with holy places, temples, religious places and many sites related to Kauravas and Pandavas. Circumvents this place means circumventing all these holy places. Kurukshetra is also known as vegetarian place. Due to religious importance, Haryana government stopped the selling and consumption of non-vegetarion food and items inside the city in year 2012.
According to Mahabharata, the King of Bharat-Vansha, King Kuru, who was the ancestors of both Kauravas and Pandavas, irrigated this land again and again, so this place is called as Kurukshetra.
According to legend, Once King Kuru was irrigating the land and then Lord Indra appeared and asked him the reason to which King Kuru expressed his desire that anybody dieing at this place would go to Heaven. Indra did not take his words seriously and moved towards Heaven. This happened many times. Indra discussed this with other dieties who suggested him to talk to Kuru. Then Indra went to Kuru and told him that any bird, animal or human if dies here either due to starvation or fighting in a war would go to the heaven. Bheeshma, Lord Krishna and others were aware of this fact, so the war of Mahabharat was fought at this place.

Pulse: Six Years Later
June 12 marks the sixth anniversary of the night hate came to Orlando and murdered forty-nine people out for a night of fun. June 12, 2022, marks the sixth anniversary of the Pulse nightclub massacre.
Clay Rivers June 12, 2022 — 3 min read
LGBTQ tribute ribbon. OHF Weekly.
Unfortunately, mass murders and terror attacks have become commonplace in America. Two weeks ago, nineteen elementary school students and two teachers were slaughtered by a gunman with an AR-15 in Uvalde, Texas. Ten days before that, ten Black people were also murdered in a grocery store in Buffalo, New York. And this list of American carnage and its trail of broken bodies and lives stretches back further than I care to or am able to recall.
That people have easier access to semi-automatic firearms than they do to a ballot cooks my brain.
I have a longstanding aversion to depictions of violence. I gave up on horror with the film version of Stephen King's Carrie (1976). All interest in slasher movies ended with Halloween (1978), the original with Jamie Lee Curtis. I walked out of Natural Born Killers (1994). I know . . . don't ask me what I expected. The subject matter was right there in the title. I let Mel Gibson dupe me into a theater for 127 minutes of gratuitous bloodletting in The Passion of the Christ (2004). I headed for the exit minutes into No Country for Old Men (2007).
I'm not so naive to believe that film depictions of violence are "real." Truth is, there's no denying that Hollywood movie magic is convincing. Making the incredible believable is the film industry's stock in trade. For some moviegoers, these depictions fall into the realm of inspirational, if not aspirational. That people have easier access to semi-automatic firearms than they do to a ballot cooks my brain. Essentially, these killers take fantastical scenes from the silver screen and make them a lethal reality now playing at any Main Street, mall, grocery store, school, movie theater, freeway, home, or house of worship near you.

The Columbine High School massacre (1999) solidified my loathing of gun violence.
Call me squeamish, wimpy, whatever—I don't care. With every fiber of my being, I believe people were not created to destroy the bodies of living people, and certainly not with firearms that can eviscerate and decapitate so many so quickly.
No one expects a mass shooting in their town. We certainly didn't in Orlando, not in the place where Mickey Mouse lives, where so many people the world over come to make memories to last a lifetime. Over the days, weeks, and months following the shooting, stories of the survivors' terror, first responders' heroism, and victims' families palpable grief flooded the media. Listening to their accounts, I understood that no one ever need experience so tragic a preventable loss.
It's too late to undo the past. But we still have time to prevent such killings in the future.
The victims of these murders are never nameless, faceless automatons. They are always real people, family members, and friends who loved and were loved. They had hopes and dreams. Their lives had meaning and impacted others. It chaps my ass that in the twenty plus years since Columbine, legislators, for some reason, just can't seem to pass legislation to put the brakes on these senseless killings of Americans. How many times do we have to move through this predictable cycle of agony before they get it? How many more people have to die?
Six years ago, few Orlandoans could have imagined such a despicable hate crime would play out in our back yard. Six years ago, Central Floridians demonstrated the depth and breadth of their love and support of the victims, their families, loved ones, and first responders. Our best continues to make us Orlando Strong.

April Blessings~
It's no longer Whee-in's birthday in S.Korea, but it still technically is here— so, Happy Birthday Wheepup! You Spongebob-laughing tripe-and-raw-liver-eating laughing machine you. I still haven't check out the recent Bday Vapp, but bless you, Mamamoo kids.
April started with blessings of Shiina Ringo releasing her concert DVD/Bluray Hyakkiyagyo 2015 (百鬼夜行2015) [which is the term used for onis, yokais, monsters and spirits whatevers doing a conga line through the night (LOL)]; then Gesu Kiwami are finally releasing their Daruma Ringo (達磨林檎) [which was supposed to released last year], which are set to be released in May. There were also announcements of a new BiBi album and a Mamamoo comeback.
Mamamoo, of course, have been blessing us all year— I've sorta lost track of the many song releases, but I'm pretty sure it was like this: LOVE for the Goblin OST, Solar's collab with Luna and Hani for Honey Bee, Solar's Emotion Part 4, San E's collab with Hwasa in I Am Me, Jungkey's son with Whee-in Anymore, Double Trouble Couple for the Strong Woman Do Bong Soon OST, and now eSNa's collab with Hwasa Love Comes. Bless and poor, yo!
I've also just discovered DADARAY, Residente (otherwise known as the voice of Calle 13) released his new album [1]… and so did La Vida Boheme [1], Mary and the Witch's Flower (メアリと魔女の花) LOOKS FREAKING AMAZING, I've been watching Sister's Slam Dunk Season 2 and loving every minute of it, and Minzy's made her official comeback with the release of Minzy Work 01 UNO and NINANO, as a main single.
Last night, of course, started with Minzy's comeback, but got so much better with the announcement that Shiina Ringo did a CM for a Luxury Mall, but the song they did expanded into a digital single called Menukidori (目抜き通り), which is set to be released on the 20th, which is the day of the mall's inauguration [1]. And then I found out that Jambinai released a new song called Damdamhi Jeogsigona (담담히 적시고나), which translates to "slightly wet," which features the voice of folk singer Park Min Hee (박민희) [1].
Then I went to bed, and Mamamoo was in it. I talked (and laughed) a lot with Whee-in [this is the first time I interact, in broken English, with Mamamoo]. It was a party, and Shahrukh Khan was also there hahahahaha, so I got to shake his hand xD and then I went to talk to Hwasa, and she was telling me she was planning to come to Peru to visit Machu Picchu, so I was like- giving her tips. Sting was also there (so random!), and he had hair. HAHAHA.
Bless my Wheesa dream, though. Wheesa's not my bias OTP, but bless them.

Everyone for L'Oreal Paris' Color Riche Collection
May 9, 2016 — Leave a comment
L'Oreal Paris has a bunch of brand ambassadors by region, and they all get invited to Cannes; among them, there's people like Eva Longoria, Aishwarya and Sonam Kapoor, who all end up walking the festival's red carpet events, just like last year. This time around, they got them all for this commercial that also credits J.Lo and Blake Lively, even though I don't really spot them in it.
Those who do make it and aren't listed, however, include Aishwarya, Sonam Kapoor, and the Bingbings– Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing. That's on top of Jane Fonda, and everyone's faves Julianne Moore and Naomi Watts, who all come together to gather round John Legend.
The idea of them coming together around Legend gave me vibes of that Lux Soap Commercial that Shahrukh Khan did like a decade ago, which featured Hema Malini, Juhi Chawla, Kareena Kapoor, and Sridevi… but then I watched it again, and that one was grosser. xD La Vie en Rose, at least, is a nice soft tune to give you the feeling of floating in the clouds xD

The Show-Off Film Collection List~
Oh, Happy Chinese New Year! Let's start my (supposedly) bad-luck Goat Year with the now-mandatory Letterboxd list of my film collection~
I have a really weird history with films– born in the late 80s, you'd think I would've grown watching loads of 90s kids stuff, but I actually grew up with a lot of Silly Symphonies (which were released in the 30s) and loads of Disney 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s stuff, plus a lot of more grown up 80s movies. Poltergeist, The Thing, The Fly and The Stuff were particularly scary stuff (and I'm pretty sure I was scared of yogurt or white stuff at some point).
I don't ever remember buying any original VHS tape, except for the rare birthday gift of a Disney's Sing-Along Songs chapter or that X-Men tape I have. My first DVDs buys were Coyote Ugly, She's All That and Loser — you can't blame me. I was a 15-year-old girl. The collection grew bigger, and possibly exploded during my years abroad. I'm nearing my 500th movie.

Happy New Year Goes VOD or DTF!
December 22, 2014 — Leave a comment
Farah Khan's and Shahrukh Khan's latest Happy New Year [Español] just hit the market officially with VOD… or as they're calling it DTF (Direct to Fans), which is less technical and much more personal. It's also way cheaper than regular VOD too, which usually charges $5USD per one-time stream or 4-5-day rental. You basically get to download the movie for that price. I'm just supposing it's subtitled (being aimed at all markets except India and China), but I could be supposing erroneously [1].
No cons, just pros really. It would have been much cooler and much more trailblazing if this had happened on opening week (or the week later), but it's something. I'm just hoping UTV (EROSNOW had its one moment with the pretty horrible Lekar Hum Deewana Dil) gets their shit together with the distribution of films like Haider and PK, really because those two are my bias at the moment. Imagine if more European and other big Asian movies did the same. Isn't THAT what they want? Piece of the Hollywood pie? You need to indoctrinate people first, get them on the habit of watching you. Hollywood's been doing this to us for the past 70 years.

As we sat inside on one of the RARE-and-getting-rarer Southern Californian days when it rained, George and I got into a discussion about which KIND of rain was falling at that moment, and which was the correct term for which kind of rain. I maintained that "sprinkle" is heavier rain than "drizzle," which I understand as a misty kind that doesn't cause drops to fall (as in the two photos above). If you can see drops on the ground–as in the third picture above–then it's a "sprinkle," but not yet a full-on rain, and it may pass by quickly. G. thought (and still does) that "drizzle" refers to a greater amount of rain over a longer period of time.
When I put this question to my ultimate source of authority–my Facebook friends–the discussion was lively, with arguments on both sides. In the end, the "drizzlers" outweighed the "sprinklers," but I think only because I framed the question in terms of which kind of rain brought more water. We were particularly swayed by the experts: our friends who live in Oregon and Washington. Here's what one of them said: "After 30 plus years in Oregon I have a hundred different words for moisture in the air a sprinkle is light rain for a brief time. A drizzle is a light rain that lasts for hours. Drizzle is the answer!" And another friend: " It's the weather pattern here in the southern Willamette Valley that I call low hung mung. The sodden blanket of grey that spits a fine mist of wet continuously for days on end." So in terms of the AMOUNT of wet, "drizzle" seems to be the correct answer.
Being the diplomat that I am (!), I'm going to declare a tie: in terms of wetness, "drizzle" implies more water over a longer time, while "sprinkle" refers to sudden droplets that clear up quickly.
In any case, rain of any sort is becoming an increasingly infrequent, and therefore welcome, phenomenon in SoCal. We're just thankful that we've had some this week, whether "sprinkles," "drizzle" or steady rain!
Many of you know–if you see how many of my ZooBorns shares on Facebook involve them–that I love otters. And Benjamin is my favorite German aphorist/philosopher/essayist. So the following is the perfect essay for a Friday share.
One forms an image of a person's nature and character according to his place of residence and the neighborhood he inhabits, and that is exactly what I did with the animals of the Zoological Garden. From the ostriches marshaled before a backgrotmd of sphinxes and pyramids, to the hippopotamus that dwelt in its pagoda like a tribal sorcerer on the point of merging bodily with the demon he serves, there was hardly an animal whose habitation did not inspire me with love or fear. Rarer were those which, by the location of their housing alone, already had something particular about them: inhabitants of the outskirts, mainly—of those sections where the Zoological Garden borders on coffeehouses or the exhibition hall. Among all the denizens of these regions, however, the most remarkable was the otter. Of the three main entry gates, the one by Lichtenstein Bridge was closest to the otter's enclosure; it was by far the least used entranceway, and it led into the most neglected part of the garden. At that point, the avenue which welcomed the visitor resembled, with the white globes of its lampposts, an abandoned promenade at Eilsen or Bad Pyrmont; and long before those places lay so desolate as to seem more ancient than the baths of Rome, this corner of the Zoological Garden bore traces of what was to come. It was a prophetic corner. For just as there are plants that are said to confer the power to see into the future, so there are places that possess such a virtue. For the most part, they are deserted places—treetops that lean against walls, blind alleys or front gardens where no one ever stops. In such places, it seems as if all that lies in store for us has become the past. Thus, it was always in this part of the Zoological Garden, when I had lost my way and strayed into it, that I was granted a look over the edge of the pool that welled up here, as in the middle of a spa. This was the cage of the otter. And a cage it was, for strong iron bars rimmed the basin in which the animal lived. A small rock formation, constructed with grottoes, lined the oval of the basin in the background. It had no doubt been conceived as shelter for the animal, but I never once found it there. And so time and again I would remain, endlessly waiting, before those black and impenetrable depths, in order somewhere to catch sight of the otter. If I finally succeeded, it was certainly just for an instant, for in the blink of an eye the glistening inmate of the cistern would disappear once more into the wet night. Of course, the otter was not actually kept in a cistern. Nevertheless, when I gazed into the water, it always seemed as though the rain poured down into all the street drains of the city only to end up in this one basin and nourish its inhabitant. For this was the abode of a pampered animal whose empty, damp grotto was more a temple than a refuge. It was the sacred animal of the rainwater. But whether it was formed in this runoff of the rains, or only fed from arriving streams and rivulets, is something I could not have decided. Always it was occupied to the utmost, as if its presence in the deep were indispensable. But I could easily have passed long, sweet days there, my forehead pressed up against the iron bars of its cage, without ever getting enough of the sight of the creature. And here, too, its dose affinity with the rain is manifest. For, to me, the long, sweet day was never longer, never sweeter, than when a fine- or thick-toothed drizzle slowly combed the animal for hours and minutes. Docile as a young maiden, it bowed its head under this gray comb. And I looked on insatiably then. I waited. Not until it stopped raining, but until it came down in sheets, ever more abundantly. I heard it drumming on the windowpanes, streaming out of gutters, and rushing in a steady gurgle down the drainpipes. In a good rain, I was securely hidden away. And it would whisper to me of my future, as one sings a lullaby beside the cradle. How well I understood that it nurtures growth. In such hours passed behind the gray-gloomed window, I was at home with the otter. But actually I wouldn't become aware of that until the next time I stood before the cage. Then, once again, I had a long while to wait before the glistening black body darted up to the surface, only to hurry back almost immediately to urgent affairs below.


Lassie helps an embittered woman find happiness with an orphaned boy.
Soprano Helen Lorfield Winter has been in seclusion and has not performed in an opera since the death of her husband three years earlier. Helen has developed an obsessive devotion to her young son Hank, rarely leaving his side, but with help from her devoted concert manager, Arthur Norton, Helen eventually overcomes her fears and agrees to return to the opera. She makes a sensational comeback, playing to a sold-out concert hall, but the evening takes a tragic turn when Hank is struck and killed by a truck while chasing after his collie, Lassie. Overcome by grief, Helen confines herself to her bed and is placed under the care of Dr. Gage. When Dr. Gage tells Helen that she must stop avoiding children and resume her normal life, Helen makes plans to leave the city and never return. Believing that Lassie had indirectly caused her son's death, Helen decides to leave the dog behind. She changes her mind, however, after her maid convinces her that Hank would have wanted Lassie to be with her. After driving along the California coast, Helen arrives at the small town of Brushy Gap, where she rents a mountain house owned by writer Thomas I. Chandler. The house is managed by the town's general store proprietor, Willie B. Williegoode, who tries to acquaint Helen with the rural lifestyle. Helen is reluctant to shed her big city ways for simple country living, but her transition is helped by a friendship she develops with a young boy named Jerry. Jerry adores Lassie and helps Helen with her chores. Despite her warm relationship with Jerry, Helen soon develops a reputation in town of being unfriendly to children, thus inviting the scorn of the children and their mothers. However, the townspeople forgive Helen after she apologizes to them, and the children eventually accept her as a friend. When Helen discovers that Jerry and his friends all live at an orphanage, she begins to suspect that Jerry is waiting for her to adopt him. To avoid the adoption issue, Helen decides leave Brushy Gap to resume her singing career. One day, while Helen is away on a short trip, Jerry falls into a river and develops pneumonia. When Helen returns to Brushy Gap, she finds Tom living in her house and caring for Jerry. After being nursed back to health, Jerry accepts that Helen is leaving, and tries to ease her conscience by telling her that his mother lives in a nearby town and that he will return to her. Helen tries to leave Brushy Gap but returns when she hears the sounding of the town fire bell and realizes that the orphanage is on fire. While Tom and other townspeople try to extinguish the blaze, Lassie indicates that Jerry is trapped inside the burning building. Tom rescues Jerry with Lassie's help, and Jerry later admits to Tom that he lied about having a mother. However, the near tragedy has prompted Helen to realize her motherly love for Jerry, and she decides to adopt him and stay in Brushy Gap.

Following the historic Eagle and Condor encounter in Washington, when over 100 Haudenosaunee people came to show their support for the indigenous peoples of the Amazon negatively affected by Chevron, Mohawk Kanasaraken of the Bear Clan, Akwesasne (aka Loran Thompson) visited Ecuador to see Chevron's legacy of pollution for himself.
He witnessed the oil pollution made by Chevron at the Aguarico pit, near Lago Agrio in the northeastern part of the Ecuadorian Amazon. Chevron, (at that time known as Texaco), as a "standard operating procedure" used to dispose the waste from oil production in unregulated pits that flowed directly into streams and swamps to keep the pits from overflowing when it rained. This practice created an ecocide and caused an epidemic of cancer, miscarriages, and many healths problems among thousands of peasants and indigenous peoples.
"The year of 2015 will be known as the year that North and South America came together as one people. It is through the passion of the Ecuadorian people that we came together. We will never forget your pride in your homelands and the love for your people. We stand together with you now and into the future. Our Unity as brothers and sisters of one people cannot be broken. Your voices make us proud to join you in this responsibility", asserted Kanasaraken.
Kanasaraken was joined on his tour by the vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bolivia, Juan Carlos Alurralde, scholars, researchers and politicians from Spain, Brazil, Bolivia, Mexico and Ecuador as part of the Forum: "Public Policies against Transnationals".
"This catastrophe happened over four decades ago, is proof that life lost is never recovered and is a worthy struggle of a sovereign state seeking to remediate the damage it caused to the people and mother Nature", asserted the Juan Carlos Alurralde, vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bolivia.
After over 20 years of legal battle, the Ecuadorian Indigenous plaintiffs successfully won a lawsuit against Chevron for $9.5 billion in 2011. Unfortunately, Chevron has pulled all of its assets from Ecuador and has used all available "legal" resources at its disposal to avoid compensating those affected in Ecuador. In 2013 alone, Chevron spent $400 million on "legal services" that have been deemed unethical. In addition to the 'legal' means to defeat the case, Chevron has also employed a whole series of other dirty tricks to undermine the lawsuit, including harassing the plaintiffs' legal team, issuing bribes, and attempts at entrapment of the judge overseeing the case in Ecuador.
On December 17, 2013, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled that Ecuador's Indigenous communities have the right to pursue Chevron's assets in Canada to enforce the $9.5 billion Ecuador judgment, since Chevron no longer has assets remaining in Ecuador. Chevron's assets in Canada are currently valued at $15 billion, thus the entirety of the Ecuador judgment can be collected in Canada if the communities prevail in their enforcement action.
On December 11th, 2014 the Supreme Court of Canada's (SCC) held a hearing relating to jurisdictional debates in the case 35682, Chevron Corporation, et al. v. Daniel Carlos Lusitande Yaiguaje, et al. A final ruling is expecting this fall 2015.

I've Studied Climate Change Up-close for the Past Three Years. Here's How We Can Save the Planet, and Our Global Economy.
From Greenland to Australia, the global economy is being ravaged by the effects of global warming. But there is still reason for hope.
Sasja Beslik
Jun 4 · 5 min read
For the past three years, I've endeavored to learn just how drastically global warming is changing our planet and our lives.
And what I've learned is staggering. The threat of global warming on our global well-being looms larger and more immediately than most of us know or care to consider. And this apathy is perhaps the greatest obstacle when it comes to addressing global warming, the most pressing crisis in the history of human civilization.
For the vast majority of us, the effects of global warming are minimal. We might have a rainier spring or an extended summer, but these are minor inconveniences, and they belie the enormity of the issue.
So I decided to visit sites around the world where the effects of our global warming are most pronounced and interview subject-area experts in each location. In order to fully understand global warming and its impact on our environment and economy, I had to experience it first-hand.
M y research took me Greenland, where glaciers are thinning and breaking apart at speeds never recorded before in human history, and where warmer water temperatures are changing fish migratory patterns, making it harder for fishermen to find and catch them.
The Illuissat Icefjord in Greenland. 35 billion tonnes of iceberg calve off and pass out of the fjord every year.
In Queensland, Australia, I spoke with Eric, a cattle farmer struggling to keep his herd alive due to the severe drought ravishing the area. He simply doesn't have enough water to keep them hydrated.
Dairy farmers in Norway have the opposite problem — changes in climate patterns have brought an excess of rainfall to the region, nearly twice the usual amount, forcing farmers to construct costly drainage systems.
In my native Sweden, I spoke with researchers at the national Meteorological and Hydrological Institute who study how rising temperatures threaten the reindeer farming industry in northern Sweden.
It's not just agricultural jobs that are in danger. I traveled to Oppdal, Norway, where the ski tourism sector has been dramatically reduced by the shortened winter season.
Tourism to the Great Barrier Reef, one of the greatest natural wonders of the world, has been negatively affected, as well. Half of the reef has been bleached to death since 2016, resulting in fewer visitors and thus fewer tourism dollars.

Bottom middle: Ski center in Norway relying on artificial snow. Bottom right: Dr. Charlie Veron inspecting dead corals at Great Barrier Reef.
Many people have the false impression that the environment and the global economy are distinct from one another. Or worse, they assume the two are opposed — that environmental efforts must come at the expense of economic growth, and vice versa.
This couldn't be any further from the truth. As my research shows, we can't separate the environmental well-being of our planet from the health of our global economy. Environmental changes have enormous implications for our economy, and these effects will only become more intense as global warming continues.
Contrary to what you might think, my trip also gave me hope.
The Noor Solar Plant in Morocco.
Floating solar farm in the Anhui Province in China.
In Morocco, an emerging economy, I toured one of the largest solar energy farms in the world. The Noor Solar Plant develops 1,470 GWh of low-cost, sustainable energy per year, and already the project has spurred infrastructure development in neighboring communities.
A similar phenomenon is taking place in the Anhui Province in China, where engineers have built a solar farm on a lake in a defunct coal power plant. (The symbolism couldn't be any better.) The project has been a blessing to the surrounding communities — employment and local tax revenue have increased, and water pollution has decreased considerably due to the switch to sustainable energy.
If industrializing economies like Morocco and rural China can commit to renewable energy, surely can the West can, too.
The greatest lesson I learned in my travels is that all is not lost when it comes to climate change. We are not out of time. We're not too late. We can save the planet, and the economy, if we so choose.
But it is a choice, however, and we must make the right choice. And soon — before we're out of choices altogether.
Thanks to the unabated effort and extreme patience of video journalist Thomas Sonne, who has accompanied me on my field trips, my project to study climate change around the world has now been turned into a video documentary entitled Convenient Choices II (it's as a follow-up to Convenient Choices published in 2015). You can watch the documentary right here.

Pablo Cesar Barrientos (* 17. Januar 1985 in Comodoro Rivadavia) ist ein ehemaliger argentinischer Fußballspieler.

Vereinskarriere

Pablo Barrientos spielte zu Beginn seiner Karriere bei CA San Lorenzo de Almagro, wo er bereits in jungen Jahren zu einer festen Größe in der Mannschaft heranwuchs. Am 30. September 2003 debütierte er dabei beim Spiel gegen Estudiantes de La Plata. 2006 wechselte er in die russische Premjer-Liga zum FK Moskau. Da der Mittelfeldspieler dort nicht mehr so häufig zum Einsatz kam, wurde er 2008 wieder an seinen ehemaligen Verein CA San Lorenzo de Almagro verliehen um wieder Spielpraxis zu sammeln. Am dritten Spieltag der Clausura 2009 erlitt er eine Kreuzbandverletzung und absolvierte seither kein Spiel mehr. Seit der Saison 2009/10 spielt Barrientos für den italienischen Erstligisten Catania Calcio, welche den Argentinier vom FK Moskau für ca. 3,5 Millionen Euro gekauft haben.

Nationalmannschaft
Am 15. November 2008 wurde er aufgrund seiner guten Leistungen bei San Lorenzo erstmals vom neuen Nationaltrainer Diego Maradona in die argentinische Fußballnationalmannschaft berufen. Beim Spiel gegen Chile kam er jedoch nicht zum Einsatz.

The objective of this research study is to define data-related risks within inclusive insurance, exploring arising consumer protection issues and generating practical insights on how regulators can deal with emerging risks. Insurance regulators are often ill-equipped to understand and deal with the range of emerging risks. Furthermore, in most jurisdictions, data protection regulation falls under the mandate of the communications or data regulator. As most of these data issues are cross-cutting (not just across the financial sector but often across the entire services sector), the insurance regulator is frequently in challenging position to deal with these data-related risks. This study will, therefore, aim to unpack and define the different data-related risks within inclusive insurance, explore the consumer protection issues that arise, consult supervisors from different regions on their experiences and approaches in this regard, and generate practical insights to inform guidance to regulators on how to deal with these emerging risks. This note should be considered as the research team's initial findings. They will be augmented and adjusted through additional research and interviews.
Stefanie Zinsmeyer (A2ii) presented the initial findings from the project at the A2ii - MIN - IAIS 13th Consultative Forum on Mobile Insurance and InsurTech: rising to the regulatory challenge that took place on 9 and 10 May 2018 and was hosted by the African Insurance Organisation.

Key takeaways from, and selected reactions to, the post-2020 EU ETS reform proposals released today by the European Commission.
EU ETS cap to decrease by 2.2% annually, compared to 1.74% in Phase 3 (2013-2020), to achieve 43% reduction from 2005 levels by 2030, equating to additional cuts of 556 mln tonnes of CO2e next decade.
Carbon prices estimated to average €25 over Phase 4 (2021-2030).
250 mln unallocated allowances to be taken from MSR and put in Phase 4 new entrants reserve.
Further unallocated Phase 3 EUAs not previously captured under MSR proposals, estimated at 145 million, to be put into Phase 4 new entrants reserve.
400 mln allowances from Phase 4 to be put in an innovation fund, along with 50 million unallocated Phase 3 allowances pulled from MSR.
Sale of 400 mln estimated to raise up to €10 bln.
Scope of fund extended from carbon capture and storage and renewables to include industrial carbon-cutting efforts.
Tiered carbon leakage free allocation to industry, with some getting 100% of required EUAs, and others just 30%.
The 177 industrial sectors currently getting 100% of their required EUAs for free will be cut down to 50 sectors, with the remaining seeing their quotas chopped to 30%.
Free allocations decided for five years at a time, according to revised benchmarks in each period.
Allows factories to get more free EUAs for production increases – in contrast to current rules that only allow this if new capacity is built.
57% of all EU Allowances to be auctioned in Phase 4 (same % as Phase 3).
55% sold as normal by member states.
2% of all allowances to be put in a Modernisation Fund for member states that in 2013 had a GDP per capita below 60% of the EU average.
No provision for use of international carbon credits for compliance.
Extent of "limited, one-off" measure for richer member states to cancel part of their auction volume to help meet non-ETS targets defined in a seperate non-ETS sector proposal in early 2016. See more here.
Related reading: How will the EU Emissions Trading Scheme's MSR work?
10% of allowances to be sold (so 5.5% of all Phase 4 allowances) distributed amongst poorer member states for purposes of solidarity, growth and power interconnections.
Poorer member states can continue to apply for free allowances for their utilities in exchange for pledging to modernise the sector – a continuation of 10c derogation programme.
Leaves member states to decide whether to provide compensation to companies exposed to indirect carbon costs (those passed on through electricity prices), but strengthens wording from 'may' to 'should' provide this compensation.
Leaves to member states to decide how to spend auction revenues (but says they "should" promote skill formation and the reallocation of labour in sectors affected by decarbonisation, as well as help poorer developing nations deal with climate change).
Provision for member states to continue to exempt small emitters with high EU ETS admin costs if they make equivalent contribution to cut emissions, and to add more SMEs to that list from 2021.
Allowances from 2021 "shall include an indication showing in which 10-year period they were issued, and be valid for the first year of that period onwards".
No mention of aviation, for which only domestic flights are regulated, subject to a Commission proposal due in late 2016 based on a decision at ICAO.
Many stakeholders broadly welcomed the proposal, but most also pressed for ways it should be changed, suggesting lawmakers will face fierce lobbying over the coming months as they begin debating it.
"The Commission's proposal is failing to safeguard the competitiveness of European industries. It does not match with the objective of keeping a strong and competitive industrial base in Europe. By unnecessarily reducing the volume of free CO2 emission allowances so drastically, it raises the risk of investment leakage, exposing our industries to unfair competition from countries without comparable climate efforts.
"Employment in the European steel industry has dropped by over 20% compared to levels in the sector before the economic crisis and EU steel demand is still 25% below pre-crisis levels. If not adjusted and improved, the Commission's new ETS proposal will deliver another major blow to our sector.
"International credits have a role to play in meeting Europe's wider emission reduction goals. We firmly believe that the option to use them should be preserved.
"The removal of surplus permits and the phase-out of free allocation are the first steps to transitioning member state economies towards more sustainable, decarbonised and cost-effective forms of energy such as onshore wind, but Europe has room to go much further. The ETS needs a root and branch overhaul. The ambition of the reforms laid out (today) will not be enough to guarantee a fuel switch and drive investments in renewables.
"The proposal shows the member states cannot have their cake and eat it. If policymakers in Brussels and the member states are serious on growths and jobs, the fixed share of free allocation should be changed to really protect industry as agreed by the heads of state.
"This proposal fails to show how the EU ETS will ensure that Europe's largest polluters pay a meaningful price for their carbon pollution. The European Commission is setting Europe's carbon market up for another decade of failure. Reducing the effectiveness of European climate policy in order to appease vested economic interests is unacceptable.
"This ETS proposal is about muddling through instead of reforming. The Commission has failed to correct the overly generous carbon leakage criteria and proposes to continue categorizing nearly all industrial emissions under ETS as subject to 'significant risk of carbon leakage' despite the lack of evidence. Gift after gift is given to the Central European power sector, while these companies continue to make enormous windfall profits by passing on to consumers costs that were never actually incurred. In addition, the Commission has once again missed the opportunity to permanently remove from the market the massive surplus of allowances that depress the carbon price and risk undermining future climate targets.
"How to share the free allocation among the different industry sectors will likely be the most controversial issue in the legislative process. The Commission's proposal suggests a steady decrease in the free allocation to all industry sectors. In addition, it includes a new formula to identify the sectors most exposed to the risk of carbon leakage. Both these elements will likely be contested as being too ambitious by affected stakeholders and could cause some intense political debate.

Cory Sandhagen values beating "the best guys in the world" more than winning UFC bantamweight belt
UFC Fight Night: Moraes v Sandhagen
Gabriel Colman
UFC bantamweight rising star Cory Sandhagen envisions himself among the great. In an interview with MMA Junkie, Sandhagen showed that he has a different opinion regarding being a UFC champion than most other fighters.
Sandhagen declared that his main goal in his career is to beat the "best guys" and that the belt is nothing but a consequence. The next in line for the American is the former UFC bantamweight champion, Frankie Edgar, on February 6, 2021.
"Of course I want to be a world champion, but I think I value higher just beating the best guys in the world," Sandhagen asserted. "That's why I'm really excited to fight Frankie because that would be a really big notch in my belt, and it would add to the resume even more," said Sandhagen.
Cory Sandhagen is going to face ex-champ Frankie Edgar on Feb. 6. in the Bantamweight division. #UFC #MMA pic.twitter.com/adQ7t1VR0r
— Fight Watch (@FightWatch1) December 27, 2020
Starting his UFC career with five straight wins against tough opponents such as John Lineker and Raphael Assuncao, Sandhagen looked like he was on his way to the belt. But a defeat to Aljamain Sterling this year via rear-naked choke submission at UFC 250 stopped Sandhagen's unbeatable streak.
It could have been the end of his title aspirations, but the number two bantamweight contender put himself back up only four months later when he took Marlon Moraes out of his way to the top of the division's ranking.
"I was supposed to say that [happened] this year, but that didn't happen this year. So, yeah, hopefully, it will happen next year. I am kind of in a groove where I am not being too obsessive about any of that stuff," Sandhagen declared. "I think that it locks up my mind too much, and it makes me uncreative. It doesn't do a lot for me in my life other than creating stress that doesn't really need to be there. Although that stress is a good stress, in the past, it is kind of become something that's a little too distracting," said Sandhagen.
Although every fighter's ambition is to be a champion, Sandhagen thinks that becoming one is just a consequence of being the best by defeating every other good player in the game. Not every champion becomes a legend, and writing his name in the history books is what motivates him.
"I am big, and I value very highly fighting the guys I see as some of the best guys in the world, and that is what I want to do in the sport," said Sandhagen. "If I am a world champion, I think that will happen in time, but I am more concerned with fighting the best guys so I can be the best fighter that I can by the time I retire," said Sandhagen.
Other names in the UFC Fight Night event in February
UFC returns in 2021 with maybe the most anticipated main event of the year. UFC 257 on January 23 will have Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier fighting for a better position in the UFC lightweight division, eyeing a possible championship.
But February is also starting to become an exciting month for UFC fans. Many intriguing matchups are already drawn for the event happening on February 6, with a venue yet to be announced.

In a major defense industry deal it was recently announced that the Israeli company Elbit Systems has won a tender worth $100 million to supply the Brazilian military with state of the art remote-controlled weapon stations, also known as REMAX (Reparo de Metralhadora automatizada X). The work will actually be carried out by a Brazilian subsidiary company owned by Elbit Systems called Ares. Apparently the work is already underway with a $7.5 million production order already delivered to the Brazilian military.
REMAX is an advanced type of remote controlled weapons station built for machine guns mounted on logistical and armored vehicles. The REMAX systems produced by Elbit and Ares were created to meet the exacting standards of the Brazilian military and to be compatible with the Brazlilain army's Gurani 6x6 vehicles. When the new weapon stations are installed the vehicles that are equipped with REMAX systems will be used for a variety of purposed including troop transportation, peacekeeping, and border patrol.
Elbit Systems is one of the largest Israeli registered companies involved in the defense and aerospace industries. The company was established in 1966 and since that time has become a large publicly traded company with subsidiaries in Europe, North America, and South America. With over 12,000 employees the company is a leader in new military technologies, especially drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
In 2001 Elbit entered the Brazlian market by purchasing Aeroeletronica (AEL). Then in 2011 Elbit acquired two additional Brazilian companies: Periscopio Equipamentos Optronicos and Ares Aeroespecial e Defesa. However, the potentially biggest development in regards to Elbit's activity with the Brazilain market was a strategic agreement signed in April 2011 with Embraer S.A., the large Brazilian headquartered aerospace conglomerate. This agreement has led Embrarer and Elbit to work jointly on developing new technologies for unmanned aerial vehicles for military applications. The Brazilian air force now has several Elbit Systems Hermes 450 UAVs in service and performing operational duties. This same model of drone has reportedly been used in Israel during its conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. In other countries it has been used for border patrol and reconnaissance missions.
While it is certain that this $100 million dollar deal was carried out after an extensive due diligence process, it remains to be seen if it will lead to warmer Israel – Brazil relations in other areas of the government. For the past year and a half, Israel has had no ambassador in Brazil due to the fact that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appointed the controversial Israeli settler leader Dani Dayan to the post. Thankfully the impass was resolved a week ago when the Israeli government decided to appoint a different candidate to the ambassadorship, Yossi Shelly. However, he is also a controversial figure for having a checkered past with questionable ethical violations. He also has no experience as a diplomat. However, as he has now already been approved by the Brazilian government he can focus on getting to work on improving relations between the two countries.
All foreigners who own companies in Brazil or that invest in the Brazilian Stock Market, or even that own real estate in Brazil, must have a local representative.
Starting July, 2017, this representative will be more subject to government scrutiny and, at the same time, will be required to have more managerial power over the investor`s assets. On the other hand, it is expected that the representative will be at a higher risk of being liable for tax fraud or labour debts.
This comes along with a rule that requires that the ultimate beneficial owners of any company investing in Brazil be revealed to the Federal Government.
The result of these rules, I think, is that the cost of keeping local representatives will increase. Instead of using young professionals or junior accountants as representatives, the investors will have to select lawyers or executives. Costs with D&O insurance should also go up.
On the plus side, it looks like the new president is taking steps to speed up the registration of foreign investment. Let`s see if the policies even out one another. I sure hope so.
Interesting article. It gives a good light to Belo Horizonte, where I live.


"They took care of home court".
After Game 3, they did just that. They had the Warriors again treating the basketball as if it were nuclear waste. Kyrie Irving had 38 points, six rebounds, and three assists of his own as the two Cleveland stars put up Herculean efforts on Wednesday night.
Everything they wanted. Pace, physical nature, venue, support.
A ideal postseason only happens because people who can afford to slack off instead dig even deeper for newfound contributions they can bring to the team. But I never felt bad about the 3-1 joke because that was just a coping mechanism.
Let's give credit where credit is due, LeBron James and Kyrie Irving were wonderful tonight. It would have been 2-1 Warriors had Durant not hit that shot.
It was the biggest shot of his career, one made in a moment that solidified him as one of the game's greatest closers.
There was no question about the entertainment value of much of the game, especially a predictably torrid start for teams that had been off and resting for two days.
Warriors forward Kevin Durant finished with 31 points on 10 for 18 shooting while guard Klay Thompson added 30 points and six rebounds.
Irving missed an off-balance 3-pointer and Durant and Curry each made two free throws on the next Golden State possessions to seal Cleveland's fate. Will this go down in history as "The Deron Williams Game"? Every miss was huge, but perhaps the killer was Kyle Korver missing a corner 3-pointer off a James feed with 52.5 seconds remaining.
Durant and Curry lead from the front.
"All I was looking at was the bottom of the net", Durant said. Jordan's first title team in 1991 is one of three squads that went 15-2. "And for us to win, I knew I to give LeBron at least a two-minute blow in that first quarter because in the second half he might not get a blow".
On the next possession, Irving tried to go to work on Thompson, eventually finding himself on that same spot on the right wing where he won the NBA Finals previous year. So I never really understand that, nor do I get off into it. Me personally I gave everything I have. Steve Kerr kept telling his players that the Cavaliers would get exhausted and, eventually, they did.
Durant pushed the rebound into the frontcourt and, without hesitation, pulled up for a deep transition 3.
James, who played 45 minutes, refused to blame fatigue for the Warriors' comeback. "I gave everything that I had, so at times throughout the game I was exhausted, but that's just because I was just playing as hard as I could".
Are we going to discredit it because people this talented shouldn't also be allowed to use the best materials?
The Cavaliers now need to win on Friday night just to stay alive in the series.
And despite Irving. And despite James.
He's just going up against a better team. James went into Game Three with 1,136 points in the Finals, seventh all-time.
Yet the overall drive exhibited by these Warriors is unlike anything they have shown before.
The Cleveland Cavaliers may have blown a lead late in Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night, but that doesn't mean they have lost faith.
Polling is also under way in the General Election in Northern Ireland as voters cast a ballot for the seventh time in three years. Polls are open from 7 a.m.to 10 p.m. (0600GMT to 2100GMT) Thursday as voters choose 650 lawmakers for the House of Commons.
She has promoted articles in opposition to the Dakota Access and Keystone XL pipelines, both of which Mr. The president has been railing against leaks since before his inauguration and has promised a crackdown.
The oil and gas exploration company reported $0.25 EPS for the quarter, topping analysts' consensus estimates of $0.19 by $0.06. Finally, BlackRock Inc. raised its position in shares of Antero Resources Corp by 2,440.4% in the first quarter. (NYSE:RRC).
And, at a private White House dinner, Comey claims Trump asked him for " loyalty " several times. The president told him "the cloud" of the probe was interfering with his ability to do his job.

Social media site ought to be a big part of your internet marketing method, as well as pictures are unbelievably vital for your social media posts to be successful. Facebook Image Size: In order to maximize the advantages that social media sites could have for your company, you need to ensure you are developing photos that are ideally suited for each and every social networks system. It can be frustrating to aim to remember all the right dimensions for every single system. To assist you, I have actually created this useful cheat sheet that you could describe when you are developing social media graphics. If the procedure still appears overwhelming to you, Houndstooth would certainly be enjoyed develop some custom-made graphics for your social networks accounts.
Similar to Instagram, your Facebook Profile need to have a square plant. The Photo or logo should be 180 x 180 pixels or bigger, even though Facebook will certainly scale it to 160 x 160 pixels on your Page and also 32 x 32 pixels as the thumbnail across the platform. Make certain your photo functions well under these really little parameters.
Due to the fact that Facebook can't make things simple for us, the element ratio of your Facebook cover Photo will appear different on various gadgets. The Photo will show up 820 x 310 pixels big (or a 205:78 proportion) on desktops and 640 x 360 pixels (16:9) on mobile phones. Attempt to produce an image that deals with both desktop as well as mobile. Your cover Photo need to go to least 399 x 150 pixels large.
The excellent dimensions for an in-stream Photo on Facebook is 940 x 788 pixels (which will certainly then be reduced to 472 x 394).
For the best outcomes, produce your Photo to be 1920 x 1080 pixels big. This photo will then be reduced to 470 x 174 pixels.
One last idea relating to social networks graphics. We like Canva for producing fantastic social media graphics. Not only do they make visuals style available to non-graphic developers, they supply design templates for every single social networks system that are currently scaled to the excellent dimensions.
Make sure to pin or print our helpful overview of see to it that you are optimizing your images on all social networks channels.

An unexploded WWII bomb disrupted tube services on the District and Hammersmith and City Lines last night when it was discovered near Bromley-by-Bow Station in a river by Sugar House Lane yesterday.
It is said to be one of the largest bombs found in East London since the war and may be bigger than the famous "Herman" bomb found in Plaistow in the early 1970s.
Whilst the area was declared safe last night, a further inspection will take place this morning.
All of which prompted us to wonder, out of idle interest, just how many UXBs remain buried in London to this day and stumble across this list of known locations from 1996 although it should be noted that some of these "may by now have been dug-up and neutralised."

Of course, business tourism can also bring problems for destinations in terms of congestion and the attraction of criminals who see the business tourists as easy, lucrative targets. Serving the demanding business traveller can also force destinations to make large investments in infrastructure such as airports and convention centres, with no guarantee these will repay the investment. Nevertheless, overall it appears that business tourism is a positive phenomenon, as far as destinations are concerned.

Even more often they simply moved because they were ordered to move to a different garrison. 3 Workers migrating temporarily in connection with their trade. In many rural communities in France, for example, there was until recently a tradition of crafts people moving to cities to practise their trade for a few months every year when there was little demand for their services at home on the farms at certain times of the year.
Individual business trip, conference, incentive travel, etc. 3 Age of the business traveller Frequent vs less frequent travellers Methods of segmenting the business travel market The situation is constantly changing and the ways of segmenting the business travel market are likely to change, too, over time. Segmentation is also briefly discussed in Chapter 10. There are three other issues we would like to consider at this stage: ᭹ ᭹ ᭹ the nature of demand for different types of business travel and tourism the levels of business travel and tourism and different industries the question of seasonality of demand.

Історичні землі Білорусі


Having lived on the Outer Banks for almost 30 years I have learned something about the personality of this area.
In temperament, the Outer Banks most resembles cats as they play or do battle.
Someone once said that if cats were running the world there would be few wars and none of them would be lethal. Cats may give each other a good swipe or nibble on an occasional ear but it is extremely rare for adult cats to try to kill each other. Most often (after a lot of caterwauling) they agree to disagree and go slinking off to other battlefields.
And that describes our Outer Banks weather perfectly in the winter, as it is rarely life-threatening like it is in the northern states. And I have never known a winter that was one continuous engagement with bad weather.
Usually, Mother Nature gives us little breaks. Today, as I am writing this was a perfect example. It was almost 70 degrees and everyone I saw was out in shorts. (In February no less!) Last week it was 32 degrees and we were in the middle of a howling blizzard, sledding down Jockey's Ridge on boogie boards and building snowmen. And that is how it goes here. If you have ever observed cats playing, this is the lick after the swipe, as if to say, "I didn't really mean it, I still love you."
Since the Outer Banks is a clime of such moderation, snowfall is a perplexing state of affairs. We have almost no equipment to deal with it. An inch of OBX snow shuts down the entire place from one end to the other. People get out brooms and attack it or throw out table salt to try to get it to melt. I think I can say with a certainty that there is not a real genuine snow shovel in the entire neighborhood. And the roads are quite dangerous, not because of the snow, but because no one here knows (or if they are northern transplants, remembers) how to drive on snow or ice.
I grew up in Ohio and I know how to drive in winter but I prefer to stay home to avoid colliding with someone who doesn't know you can't go fifty and then slam on the brakes to stop. So I don't usually get very far from the house on "snow days." But this time I was able to get to Run Hill and Nags Head Woods and took some photographs to show you what vacationland looks like when it is in a wintry mood.

Home » Our Community » Brazos Valley
Brazos Valley is a vast region in Central Texas that consists of the following seven counties:
Brazos Valley encompasses the Bryan-College Station metropolitan area, which serves as its cultural and economic heart. This area is the home of Texas A& M University and the counties of Brazos, Robertson, and Burleson.
The Brazos River flows through the center of the region, hence its name. As of 2010, the region had an estimated population of almost 319,447 and it covers a land area of around 5,124 square miles.
Living in Brazos Valley
One of the best aspects of settling in Brazos Valley is that buyers have a wide range of properties and communities to choose from. Being a seven-county region, the area supports many different kinds of lifestyles, from urban to rural and everything in between. For those interested in living close to major shopping and cultural attractions, there are single-family homes, townhomes and condos that are close to city centers and public transportation. For buyers that prefer to live outside of town and away from the college atmosphere, there are plenty of communities that offer peaceful, quintessential Texas living.
While the region has a long agricultural heritage and is still populated with numerous farms and ranches, Brazos Valley has also benefitted a great deal from the presence of Texas A& M. It's helped foster the growth of the artistic and cultural scene and boosted the region's sporting profile. As a result, Brazos Valley is a refreshing mix of city and country, where it's just as easy to go to a fair and head out for a day of hiking and fishing as it is to catch a Broadway show and enjoy a gourmet meal.
