Andre Hansen was largely untested in the first leg and he's confident his side can dump Brendan Rodgers' side out of the Champions League.
Rosenborg keeper Andre Hansen admits he couldn't believe he had nothing to do at Parkhead, but he's warned his team mates not to go gung-ho against Celtic at their sold-out stadium in Norway.
The Scottish champions have it all to do after a disappointing goalless draw in Glasgow in the Champions League third qualifying round first leg.
Rosenborg shot-stopper Hansen was largely untested and he's looking for a similar outcome in Trondheim against Brendan Rodgers ' side.
But he's warned his colleagues and the home fans, they may need to be patient.
He said: "It's up to the experts to decide who are favourites, but we have a very good opportunity.
"We are at home so of course we will attack, but it's about managing that.
"There's no point going out and thinking we are going to score five goals against Celtic. We have to be sensible.
"We showed we can get under their skins and it's about doing that again.
"This week, we have no league game, so we have had the perfect preparation for the game.
"We would have loved to have taken a lead to Norway and there's no doubt we had the better chances in the game.
"Celtic had more of the ball, but we had the better chances.
"Our plan was to see out the first quarter and then see what would happen. They got frustrated and their fans got annoyed."
Meanwhile, Norway international midfielder Fredrik Midtsjo insists he and his Rosenborg colleagues will prove they can play football this week and not set up purely to frustrate.
He said: "When we got on the ball we showed we were as good as Celtic.
"We can play good football against better teams like Celtic. If we are disciplined at home, we can beat them.
"There was 60,000 fans in Glasgow who presumed Celtic would just roll over us, but that was never going to happen.
"It was a good result for us, but it should have been even better.
"We were very defensive in Glasgow. I don't think that will be the case at home.
"We'll have more of the ball and we think we have a great chance of going through."
Will Celtic defeat Rosenborg and qualify for the next stage?

The Air Force's approval should take about 30 days, Beauchea told the board.
A finding of no significant impact must be approved for development of the 91 acres near Robins Air Force Base. Mayor Chuck Shaheen said in December the finding had been finalized, but Beauchea said Shaheen was mistaken.
G-RAMP is a project the city has been working on for more than a decade, with price tag estimates as high as $72.5 million.
Originally, the idea was to be a private-public partnership in which maintenance hangars were built for use by Robins Air Force Base, creating local jobs.
However, Shaheen and Lee have said over the past year the city may not be the entity to build whatever goes on the land, and it may not be maintenance hangars. Lee did not elaborate on possible scenarios Monday.
"Whatever the needs of the Air Force base, we are willing to accommodate the base," Lee said.
Shaheen did not return a phone call for comment.
Beauchea, who has been involved with G-RAMP from the beginning, said the environmental assessment report has gone through several review processes over the past five years and few questions should remain.
MACTEC was contracted to do the report for $84,000. The company was later acquired by AMEC. The report is the final step in the first Air Force-led NEPA approval process for a city-owned property, according to Beauchea. The process also included an archeological study.
During the meeting, the board also approved $81,000 for underground utilities at the new law enforcement center and up to $6,000 for further quality inspections of the building. Board members also accepted a $3,000 credit for unspent money designated to strengthen cement after a previous quality inspection.
Flint Energies will install the electrical lines underground to minimize view obstructions in the area that Lee and Shaheen have said they envision as a gateway to the city.
"For a building of this magnitude, the last thing you want is poles running in front," Lee told the board.
Bill Mulkey, city building inspector, told the board utilities were not included in the $6.98 million contract for the police headquarters building, but the project remains on time and on budget.
Mulkey said the board also will need to approve cable line installations with Cox Cable or AT&T and ground lighting for the building entrance.
The project, under construction at Watson Boulevard and Armed Forces Boulevard, is expected to be completed in January.

Anyone who has followed George Leonard along his prescribed path to mastery recognizes that he falls into one of three categories: the obsessive, the hacker, and the dabbler. In our present time of decreasing attention spans and desires for quick fixes, we often identify more readily with one of the previous three than that of the sage. The obsessive forsakes duality and flips into overdrive in his attempt to push through any type of steadiness and assimilation, in order to seek what is better and faster. The end result: burnout. The hacker is the one given to comfortable habits, for she experiences a bit of growth and then sets the cruise control at a safe speed to stay the same. And then there is the dabbler, who dips his toes into many different pools, enjoying the temperature of the water long enough for the thrill of something new, and then moves on once the excitement of infancy has passed.
We see that there are many avenues that this one has for self expression that this one does explore, however there has been in the past a tendency to move into a position or place of responsibility until this one is fulfilled, seemingly, more accurately until this one's conscious mind becomes restless and then this one reaches out or seeks again another avenue for the fulfillment (12-23-2010-CAM-1).
Yes, I am a dabbler. In fact, my laboratory experience while in the School of Metaphysics has been a direct reflection of the above quotation! Since November of 2008 I have dabbled my way through FIVE lab positions (sacred space, vibrations reporter, media, healing class, media again), each time without ever moving beyond an adolescent stage of growth. There was never a sustaining of growth, the raising of new leaders, or the consistency of truly producing. Imagine my excitement to have finally realized this pattern, now taking steps to utilize this opportunity that karma has brought forth (yet again)!
It all begins with vision. Since receiving my dharma profile in May, I have realized the true importance of painting and sustaining vision: "There is a type of insight that this one is capable of which does lend itself to a clarity and vision that is needed by the self and others in order for there to be progress (5-12-2011-BCG-1). Of course, to make this dharma active, I must involve other people. And what better way to experience group creation than sacred space?
The vision is the ideal, and it must be sustained, painted, shared, and evolved by the I Am of the creation (in this case, me, the lab leader). The ideal is the realm of images and stories, reasoning in terms of cause and effect so potential energies are created and amplified. It is the duty of the leader to make this image so alive within himself that it becomes an unshakeable, unbreakable fire that is left with only one choice: to grow!
Next we add purpose. This ingredient is initiated by the leader, the I Am, because it is very closely related to the ideal. We may think of the "IPGA" equation as an example of bringing heaven to earth, because ideal and purpose are high minded, vision-oriented ideas (heaven), that manifest through goals and activities—the physical, directed, action-based results (earth). The purpose gains power, though, when combined with the minds of others as they begin to envision how they will grow and expand by reaching for the ideal. Now is the time to add the core team, the "inside circle." Sacred space version 2.0 in Dallas has formed a group of me and two other potential leaders, meaning the ideal and purpose have become 100 times more powerful (I believe that "3" times more powerful is linear, while 103 times greater is more of the reality of the exponential nature of mind!). Imagine if John the Baptist had two more zealous believers proclaiming the good things to come… This is what we are going for here.
Now we set goals, the physical manifestations of the ideal. In teaching people how to lead, I realize the necessity of my setting the first round of goals. The I Am still holds the vision, so the purest form of ideals made manifest through goals will come from him. In this regard, the teaching occurs through a very simple yet profoundly powerful process: asking questions and listening. The simple question, "what is your goal for this week?" can do wonders to propel both the potential leader, as well as the lab, school center, and city to new heights. The crucial part here, I have learned, is the consistency and sustainability of the "pulse" that goals provide. I heard Dr. Laurel speak once of the power of goals because they give the conscious mind direction. Thus, another productive question makes its debut: "Are we accomplishing our goals each week?" One of my favorite things about sacred space is that it is very easy to tell whether we accomplished our goals. Is the kitchen floor different? Is the fence painted? Is the yard mowed…?
And our finale is ushered in by good old activity. This is the part of the equation that brings everybody together: those in the sacred space lab and those that are not; new students and advanced students; infants and adults. The activities, with which consistency also plays a crucial part, provide the bricks in the road to mastery. When combined with ideal, purpose, and goals, the activities become a joyous practice of disciplined learning, providing the actual opportunities to teach and lead. Furthermore, these activities provide avenues to continue sharing the grand vision that set the whole creation into motion in the first place, spiraling out toward an ever-expanding creation.
My path toward mastery in this instance is long, and I have only just begun. My reward at the end, however, is great. Underlying the entire process is a new current of commitment that will carry me through to completion. No matter how daunting the task may seem (and in this course of study, there are times when the changes I knew I needed to make seemed like impassable mountains), I realize that with ideals, purposes, goals, and activities, especially when combined with commitment, are the most powerful tools I have available. They provide me with the ultimate amount of leverage in any creation, so that I may cause the tipping point necessary to succeed. We truly are capable of all things.
With 16 branches, five internet campuses, and membership in over two dozen countries, the School of Metaphysics is dedicated to teaching principles and practices designed to bring forth the potential of the whole Self. It does not promise instant enlightenment or overnight success. The step-by-step method of applied study is guaranteed to produce permanent results through daily use of universal truths. Students develop understanding and mastery of mental skills including undivided attention, concentration, listening, memory, re-energizing and realizing of mind and body, mental healing, and communication. Meditation, dream interpretation, intuitive and spiritual development are the means to experience the inner levels of consciousness. These disciplines bring the student into the realm of that consciousness. These disciplines bring the student into the realm of that unused ninety percent of the brain power and open doors to what exists beyond the physical life. The applied study produces Self awareness and insight into the greatest mysteries life has to offer.
The School of Metaphysics program supplements more traditional forms of higher education by teaching the student how to fully utilize knowledge gained through previous schooling. Its teachings are unique, innovative, and bold. When the principles of memory are understood, the student moves beyond the limitations of rote memorization of knowledge. When the principles of will are understood, the student realizes his ability to determine his personal impact upon the world's body of knowledge. When the principles of imagination are understood, the student is free to employ his own creativity thus expanding his knowledge beyond the commonplace and contributing to the progress of mankind. The student applies knowledge in his own experiences thus reaching his own personal greatness.
Through mental disciplines, the student gains command of the reasoning abilities. As the inner thinker develops, the essence of education becomes apparent. The educate comes from the Latin educatus meaning to draw out or to lead forth. The School of Metaphysics program is founded upon this principle, for it draws out the best the individual has to offer and leads him to greater understanding and achievement as a whole Self.
How much is your education at SOM worth? Investor's Business Daily may hold the answer!
four-tiered course of study in Mastering Consciousness is offered on a weekly basis in cities in the United States and, for those abroad, through correspondence with a College of Metaphysics teacher. This course is the essence of School of Metaphysics teachings from which all SOM offerings spring.


ProEducation offers a range of private tutoring lessons in a variety of subject areas specific to the learning needs of each student. Our teachers liaise with classroom teachers to target specific learning concerns in order to help students develop their skills for ongoing success.
Each session is 50 minutes in length and is carried out in our supportive and well-resourced learning environment. After enrolment and interview each student at ProEd receives an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) or goal setting sheet is complete, outlining the focus of the student's learning aims for the time they are at ProEd. Teachers and parents work together with ProEd to achieve the learning outcomes.
Students receive observation reports twice a year to help demonstrate their progress and highlight areas to work towards for the future.
A Starter Pack is an assessment conducted by a teacher to measure the child's learning strengths and areas to develop further. Students benefit from having this assessment so that the tutor knows what focus the lessons will have. A student generally is assessed in the area of Numeracy and Literacy.
Teacher tools are used in this assessment and a report is written so that parents have the information for the future. During the Starter Pack process the tutor will work with the child's school teacher gathering further information to ensure a collaborative approach and all aspects of their learning have been considered. After the assessment and once the report is written the parents and tutor will meet and discuss the findings. Finally, an Individual Education Plan or Goals Information Sheet will be written for the child's ongoing lessons at ProEducation.
If we have sufficient numbers we can arrange group tutoring sessions offering parents a discounted professional service. Group sessions are limited to a maximum of four students in each class. In these group sessions students can also work on individual learning programs or homework set by classroom teachers. ProEducation caters from ages 5 and above. Please check our timetable for times and days of group tutoring sessions, or alternatively call or email the centre to secure a place.
The 'Drop In' option is available for students who need a quiet and supportive environment to complete their homework or projects and do not need a scheduled lesson.

Candace Storch new musical sensation biography
Photo courtesy of the artist
Artist/writer, Candace Storch, has always had music in her life. Growing up listening to her mother sing to Michael Jackson, her uncle play the guitar, and having her father, a self proclaimed audiophile, constantly breaking in his newest, cutting edge equipment, there was music involved in everyday of Candace's upbringing. In middle school and high school, her love of r & b and hip hop was an intrinsic part of her musical DNA. She became known as 'the chick that makes slow jams tapes'. She started honing her skills with voice and piano lessons at The Brooklyn/Queens Conservatory Of Music. She recorded some songs and soon after that, got introduced to her current writing partner/producer, Peter Monk. Their work together enabled them to get a distribution deal and signed to Release Musiq in 2013. Her vivid imagination combined with her creative storytelling skills quickly engage the listener via her clever wit and subtle sass. By writing and helping vocally produce all these different expressions of music for herself and other singers, she is able to implement what the artist stylistically wants and lyrically needs. 'I want people to see, not only hear, the music' she said.
As a solo artist, Candace raps and sings. Her sweet voice juxtaposed with her fast, edgy, New York based rap flow gives her a style and feel all her own. Candace wrote and sang featured vocals on "Once In A Lifetime" and "Keep On Dancing". The video was featured on 'Promo Only' Mainstream Dance, Spring of 2013 and "Keep On Dancin" got on the UK's Most Played Dance Charts 9She went under the moniker Candy) She is also a member and main writer of the group, The Dub Chix. Their single "Motormouth" has been played on Texas radio stations, overseas, and became the theme song to the new Motormouth smartphone app. Candace and Monk started the dancehall/reggae project, Bklyn South. which she co-writes, vocally produces, and sings background vocals on. The debut song of that project entitled "You're The One" debuted at #1 on zipDJ and stayed there for three weeks. It has been played by DJs in NY and several other countries, including the Caribbean.Their follow-up "Run Round Ya" got featured in many magazines like Kribbean.com, AromaMagUK and played on the biggest station in Jamaica, Zip 103 FM. That song put Bklyn South on many people's radar.
Candace co-writes all the Peter Monk releases, as well as sings background on most of them. Her new single "Starlight" is quickly getting excellent reaction and already playing on many online stations from Portugal to Italy. It debuted #1 on Kings Of Spins record pool and is quickly spreading with rapid fire. 'You can really hear the growth of her vocals on this track. It has the potential to be a big record,' said Monk. She is currently working a lot of new and exciting music so stay tuned!

Lyon County Clerk-Treasurer Nikki Bryan said about 1,300 had voted countywide on Tuesday as of around noon.
At the Yerington/Mason Valley polling place at the Convention Center, 438 had voted just before 1 p.m. and that rose to 519 by about 2:45 p.m.
Poll workers reported the voting had been pretty steady.
Bryan said it appeared based on the midday voter tallies that the overall Primary voter turnout would be around 20 percent, spread pretty evenly between early voting and election-day voting.
"That's still not good," she said, as it could be the county's lowest voter turnout percentage-wise.
Of the 2,986 early voters, 1,948 were Republicans, 660 were Democrats and 383 were from other parties, according to the Lyon County Clerk-Treasurer's Office. Of the 69 who'd voted by absentee ballot (which are accepted up to close of voting at 7 p.m. Tuesday) as of early Monday, 23 were Democrats, 37 Republicans and 69 were other affiliation.
Bryan said the voting seemed to be going well with only a few very minor glitches—although saying 'glitches' might be too strong a word—reported through mid-afternoon Tuesday.
Among the closely-watched local races, the two sheriff's candidates with the most votes would advance to the General Election.
In the County Commission District 5 race, the top vote-getter advances to face independent candidate John Roemer in the General Eleciton, while in the two Assembly races (district 38 and 39), the Republican winners in each race advance to face minor-party candidates.

Q: SwingUtilities.convertMouseEvent() sets button to NOBUTTON in Java7 As we know MouseEvent gets lost in JScrollPane, i.e. not delivered to a parent, it is an old bug not fixed yet:
https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1362237
So I was using work-around by catching event in JScrollPane with a temporary listener and then dispatching event to it is parent to be processed with a real listener.
    private class DispatchListener extends MouseAdapter {
    @Override
    public void mousePressed (MouseEvent me) {
        System.out.println("dispatch.mousePressed: " + me.getButton());
        preDispatchEvent(me);
    }

    @Override
    public void mouseReleased (MouseEvent me) {
        preDispatchEvent(me);
    }

    @Override
    public void mouseDragged (MouseEvent me) {
        System.out.println("dispatch.mouseDragged");
        preDispatchEvent(me);
    }

    private void preDispatchEvent (MouseEvent me) {
        JScrollPane pane = (JScrollPane)me.getSource();
        MouseEvent newMe = SwingUtilities.convertMouseEvent(pane.getViewport(), me, tablePanel);
        dispatchEvent(newMe);
    }
}

It worked okay, but people with Java 7 started to complain that mouse click has no reaction in the application. After downgrading to Java 6 the issue was resolved, but now I was testing Applet and Chrome forced me to upgrade plugin to version 7.
After debugging I have figure out that convertMouseEvent sets button to MouseEvent.NOBUTTON independant of button passed
MouseEvent newMe = SwingUtilities.convertMouseEvent(pane.getViewport(), me, tablePanel);

From source code in Eclipse
else {
        newEvent = new MouseEvent(newSource,
                                  sourceEvent.getID(),
                                  sourceEvent.getWhen(),
                                  sourceEvent.getModifiers(),
                                  p.x,p.y,
                                  sourceEvent.getXOnScreen(),
                                  sourceEvent.getYOnScreen(),
                                  sourceEvent.getClickCount(),
                                  sourceEvent.isPopupTrigger(),
                                  MouseEvent.NOBUTTON ); //!!!
    }
    return newEvent;

I don't know why is it implemented that way? Is it another bug or feature?
Seems like I need to create my own object without calling SwingUtilities.convertMouseEvent and set button from sourceEvent.

A: This is an interesting issue. The use of MouseEvent.NOBUTTON in SwingUtilities.convertMouseEvent sure looks very strange. However, I'm unable to reproduce the problem with Java 7; for me the button field of the converted mouse event is correct for Java 7 and 6 (using 1.7.0-b147 64-bit and 1.6.0_21-b07 64-bit on a Windows 7 laptop).
Debugging through the MouseEvent constructor I saw that while the button field is initially set to zero, the call to setNewModifiers at the end of the constructor changes button based on the modifiers field (which receives its value from sourceEvent.getModifiers when the converted mouse event is constructed in SwingUtilities.convertMouseEvent).
The converted mouse events from a single click look like this (for Java 7):
java.awt.event.MouseEvent[MOUSE_PRESSED,(185,175),absolute(593,305),button=1,modifiers=Button1,extModifiers=Button1,clickCount=1] on javax.swing.JPanel[,0,0,381x259,layout=java.awt.FlowLayout,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.0,border=,flags=9,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=]
java.awt.event.MouseEvent[MOUSE_RELEASED,(185,175),absolute(593,305),button=1,modifiers=Button1,clickCount=1] on javax.swing.JPanel[,0,0,381x259,layout=java.awt.FlowLayout,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.0,border=,flags=9,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=]

In response to your questions: I think MouseEvent.NOBUTTON is passed to the MouseEvent constructor because the value of the button field will be determined by the value of the modifiers field anyway. On my laptop, things work as I expected for both Java 7 and 6, so it doesn't look like a bug to me. Is your application running in a browser and does that make a difference in how the mouse events are converted? Did you create a work around to solve the issue already or else could you share some of the applet code?

Other event types
The first two cases that are handled by SwingUtilities.convertMouseEvent create a MouseWheelEvent or a MenuDragMouseEvent object. Both constructors (eventually) call a MouseEvent constructor with a MouseEvent.NOBUTTON parameter. (Looking at these events (without conversion) on my laptop, the button field of a MouseWheelEvent is always zero (my mouse has only one wheel). For MenuDragMouseEvent objects button is equal to one for the menuDragMouseReleased event and is zero otherwise, while the modifiers field is always equal to BUTTON1_MASK.) So it looks like MouseEvent.NOBUTTON is quite popular as a parameter to the MouseEvent constructors.

A: See http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7181403 - it looks like convertMouseEvent() did not change recently, so other code changes must be responsible for the change you see in Java 7 (I can reproduce the issue here as well with 1.7.0_21).
In any case, it looks like the problem has been solved in Java 8.

Home ONLINE SHOPPING FOR WOMEN Black-Owned Watch Manufacturers Rising - The New York Occasions
ONLINE SHOPPING FOR WOMEN
Black-Owned Watch Manufacturers Rising – The New York Occasions
Black-owned watch manufacturers are having an unprecedented 12 months.
"June was our greatest month," stated Randy Williams, founding father of Talley & Twine, a 6-year-old watch firm based mostly in Virginia that noticed income greater than triple between April and August, with gross sales rising to $830,000 from $250,500 throughout the identical interval in 2019.
And Mr. Williams isn't alone. Between Might and July, Springbreak Watches in North Carolina offered nearly 2,000 watches. They offered 347 between Might and July 2019.
Although the pandemic has brought about havoc in some quarters of the business, with Swiss exports down by nearly a 3rd, sure pockets are flourishing, stated Zach Weiss, co-founder of the web retailer Windup Watch Store. With brick-and-mortar shops shut in lots of areas, "it's been an excellent 12 months for on-line gross sales," he stated. "We've seen quite a lot of traction within the under-$1,000 worth level."
The vast majority of Black-owned watch manufacturers in america — on-line companies promoting vogue watches for lower than $500 — match squarely into this class. However their current success transcends a singular rise in gross sales. Many say in addition they are experiencing an uptick in press protection, collaboration requests and coveted spots in on-line retail shops.
Most say they've little question that, within the wake of social justice demonstrations throughout the nation, the #BuyBlack motion has performed an element. Searches for Black-owned companies skyrocketed this summer time, based on a spokesperson from the search engine Yelp.
However causes for the current success are nuanced. Many of the Black-owned watch manufacturers have constructed a powerful on-line presence, and all of the homeowners stress that their gross sales already have been on an upward trajectory — which many attribute to their capability to talk on to clients via social media.
"Individuals wish to see manufacturers which have faces, and never faceless manufacturers today," stated Marcel Benson, founder and chief govt of the Benson Watch Firm of Lanham, Md. He stated his preliminary advertising and marketing method was "polished," an effort to match these of some huge manufacturers, however today he retains issues easy: "It's actually simply me telling my story," he stated. "I feel it resonates with lots of people."
Listed below are 5 of these tales.
Talley & Twine
Mr. Williams, 38, stated he started sketching watch designs on an impulse. "I couldn't discover what I used to be on the lookout for," he stated in a video interview from his workplace in Portsmouth, Va.
The consequence was the Worley watch: a quartz chronograph, stripped of numbers save for an outsized seven, with second and minute sub-dials and an unbiased sweeping second hand.
Mr. Williams debuted the Worley on Kickstarter in 2014, six to eight months after its preliminary conception. Inside a month it had exceeded its crowdfunding goal, and immediately the mannequin is the idea of three collections of males's 46-millimeter and ladies's 41-millimeter watches. They're accessible in a wide range of colours with the selection of a leather-based, canvas or steel strap, priced at $125 to $235.
The corporate has grown to incorporate two full- and 6 part-time workers. However, Mr. Williams stated, his path to entrepreneurial success wasn't an apparent one. Raised by his grandmother in Camilla, Ga., the place most everybody went to work within the native rooster manufacturing unit, Mr. Williams stated he felt "stifled."
"Coming from a small city, and being a younger Black child," he stated, "individuals actually don't count on rather a lot out of you."
His transition from small-town boy to businessman was the inspiration for the corporate's title. Talley & Twine was the identify of an intersection in Portsmouth's once-notorious Ida Barbour housing mission, which was razed within the late 1990s and rebuilt to supply engaging, inexpensive properties for the residents.
"To me, that's inspiring," he stated. It exhibits "you don't have to complete the way in which that you simply began."
Asorock Watches
It had taken two years for the watch fanatics Andrew Mutale and Benjamin Iroala to good the six Miyota quartz watches that they debuted on Indiegogo in January 2019.
In the course of the watches' growth, they visited factories in Japan and picked up samples from producers elsewhere in Asia, Mr. Mutale, 25, stated in a current video interview from Chicago, the place the corporate is predicated. He and Mr. Iroala, now 23, have been intent on assembling the high-quality patchwork of Japanese and Chinese language elements utilized in Asorock Watches' first three collections (They plan to launch a brand new one in December).
"Some producers will probably be good at one factor, however then gained't be good at one other," Mr. Mutale stated.
The watches — the Monolith, the SpeedRacer and the FirstLady — vary from 38 millimeters to 45 millimeters, promote for $105 to $135, and have an engraving of the Nigerian coat-of-arms on the case again.
Mr. Mutale, born in Zambia, and Mr. Irola, born in Nigeria, arrived in america as youngsters. To them, the corporate's objectives are twofold: To signify Black African males in an business the place they're underrepresented and, as Mr. Mutale stated, to "make an influence" on their residence continent.
The model, named for the granite outcropping that looms over the Nigerian capital of Abuja, donates 10 p.c from the sale of every of watch to fund a library that the boys wish to construct in Nigeria.
And in time, they hope to maneuver their manufacturing from Japan to Africa. The intention: to create jobs and "empower individuals with data and expertise," Mr. Mutale stated.
Benson Watch Firm
In 2017, Mr. Benson resigned from his job as a monetary guide to pursue his ardour for watches. The transfer, he stated, was made within the spirit of the corporate's motto, "Time Ought to Be Spent Doing What You Love."
To this point, it has launched two traces of watches, each designed by Mr. Benson. Launched on Kickstarter in 2015, the preliminary design was the Cardinal, a Swiss quartz timepiece impressed by a midcentury costume watch (that Mr. Benson declines to determine). The wristwatch, priced from $150 to $175, is obtainable in six colorways on the model's web site and shortly will probably be on Gilt's on-line buying platform.
The second was a limited-edition line of chronographs referred to as the Phoenix. With all of its 100 fashions now offered, Mr. Benson, 31, plans to reissue the watch within the spring and stated he'll donate a portion of the gross sales to assist younger entrepreneurs.
Over the following few months Mr. Benson hopes to boost sufficient capital to "actually scale the corporate," he stated. "Capital has been, and possibly will proceed to be, the most important hurdle."
Mr. Benson's future plans: to maneuver his manufacturing from Asia to an in-house operation. "It's a long-term objective," he stated, however, "we're inching our manner in direction of it."
Springbreak Watches
Launched in 2013 by one-time fraternity brothers Kwame Molden and Maurice Davis, Springbreak Watches goals to "convey again the enjoyable" of sporting a watch, stated Mr. Molden on a video name from his residence workplace in Charlotte, N. C.
The model debuted with a collection of 42-millimeter eco-friendly wood watches made in a alternative of zebra, sandal and maple wooden, promoting for $69.99 to $89.99. It has since launched two extra unisex traces: a collection of basic 42-millimeter stainless-steel mesh-band watches ($89.99) and the vivid Colorway Assortment.
Accessible in a wide range of eye-popping colours together with neon inexperienced, the Colorway's playful, quartz-powered wristwatches ($79.99) have, from a income perspective, "taken all of them the way in which up," stated Mr. Molden, 34. (Mr. Davis, additionally 34, is a U.S. Military main and has an advisory position within the model.)
To date the corporate has just one worker: Mr. Molden's mother-in-law, Margaret Lewter, who packages and ships Springbreak's China-made and assembled watches from her farm in North Carolina.
In distinction, the model has garnered round 56,400 followers on Instagram. This group of consumers and followers, Mr. Molden stated, are Springbreak's supply for the whole lot from pictures and videography to fashions and artist collaborations. "We pay them and spend money on them," he stated. Creating alternatives and giving individuals a platform, he added, is "a part of who we're."
In keeping with Mr. William's objective to be "a one-stop store" for the wrist, Springbreak has made a current foray into bands for the Apple Watch and now gives a wide range of $39.99 patterned canvas colorways. The bands, together with the corporate's watches, will quickly be accessible on Nordstrom's on-line retailer.
Verdure Watches
An aquarium isn't an apparent supply of inspiration for a watch, however Eddie Johnson, 28, founding father of Verdure Watches, appeared no additional than his lounge fish tank when designing his newest assortment, referred to as Lure.
Bought in 4 colours and priced from $399.99 to $499.99, the 40-millimeter computerized timepiece encompasses a gravel-patterned bezel and a guilloché dial harking back to fish scales, Mr. Johnson stated in a video interview from his residence workplace in Hackensack, N.J.
The watches have been made and assembled in China from Mr. Johnson's sketches, and have the model's signature buckle-style lugs.
Mr. Johnson's preliminary four-model Premier assortment was launched in 2015 following what he described as a discouraging three-year trial-and-error hunt for a producer. It was financed partially by his father, an legal professional who's an avid watch collector and whom Mr. Johnson credit for his love of watches.
He labeled the Swiss quartz-powered assortment a "check run" and shortly had moved on to his Sophomore line: 4 computerized watches that includes what he referred to as an unorthodox half-skeleton dial, on which a portion of the stability wheel and gears may be seen shifting.
"It's lovely," Mr. Johnson stated. "Lots of people don't notice what number of components are in an computerized watch."
Mr. Johnson's ambitions embody the discharge of a tourbillon and a moonphase timepiece. However now he has produced a collection of sketches for the chronograph that he plans to launch subsequent 12 months. "I've so many issues I do wish to get into when it comes to watches," he stated.

Friends Arena: Sweden / AIK Fotboll
Rasta Strandvag 1, Solna, 169 79, Sweden
Håkan Dahlström / Flickr.com
Located just North of the centre of Stockholm is Friends Arena, the home of the Swedish national football team. It is also where the Swedish side AIK Fotboll play their Allsvenskan games. The Allsvenskan is the top-flight league of Swedish football, in case you were wondering. The naming rights for the stadium were bought by Swedbank in a deal worth around €200 million. The deal lasts until 2023 but the company decided to donate the naming rights to a non-profit organisation that does work to oppose school bullying. The organisation is called Friends, hence it is known as Friends Arena.
Owing to the fact that the stadium is home to two different football teams it is important that we give you as much information as possible about them both in this guide. For that reason we will double up on the info that we tell you in the sections where that is relevant. That includes the likes of 'How To Get Tickets' and 'About The Team'. Obviously we won't tell you everything twice in sections when it's going to be the same, such as 'Stadium History'! Should you wish to scroll straight to the section you're most interesting in then you'll find that we will tell you about the Swedish national side first and then AIK Fotboll.

Friends Arena Seating Plan & Where to Sit
By Nicceeo (Own work) [CC BY-SA 3.0], via Wikimedia Commons
The Friends Arena is built in a 'bowl' style of continuous seating that is quite popular with modern European stadia. It is in contrast to the more traditional style of stadium that has four separate and distinct stands on each side of the pitch. There are essentially three levels to the arena with the lower and upper tier separated on three of the sides by hospitality seating. On the fourth side is an extra row of standard seating.
AIK Fotboll Ticket Prices
It is also often quite tricky to narrow down the prices you'll find for foreign team's matches. Unless they are particularly popular with an English audience, like Real Madrid or Barcelona for example, you'll struggle to get information about how much tickets cost and so on.
When it comes to AIK Fotboll what we can tell you is that there are several different areas within the ground for different sections of the supporter base. As well as the normal main stands there are also unreserved areas where pricing is slightly cheaper. There are two different family sections and there's also an area exclusively for eleven to sixteen-year-olds. Finally, there is also a selection of Premium tickets available for those that enjoy a more hospitable match going experience.
How To Get AIK Fotboll Tickets
For AIK Fotboll the situation is a little bit easier. Your first port of call should definitely be the club's official website, which is easy to navigate if you can speak Swedish. You can also call the club's ticket office or drop into the stadium itself. Finally, there is a club shop located at Dalvägen 30 in Stockholm and tickets are available for purchase from there, too.
Sweden Ticket Prices
Writing about ticket prices for national sides is always tricky. That's because the people responsible for deciding the prices change from game to game. If it's an international friendly then you'll normally find that the country's own Football Association comes up with pricing for tickets. If it's a World Cup qualifier or a European Championship game then you might find that the prices have been influenced by FIFA and UEFA accordingly.
You'll also find that ticket prices change depending on where in the ground you'd like to sit and how old you are. To give you something of an example, when Sweden took on Belarus in a World Cup Qualifying game the ticket prices ranged from 200 Kr. to 500 Kr. This does not include any specific hospitality prices that may also have been available.
How To Get Sweden Tickets
Again, much like with the pricing the decision of who is in charge of selling the tickets depends very much on who is organising the match. You might need to turn to UEFA or FIFA, though most commonly you'll be able to get hold of a ticket for a Sweden match from the Swedish Football Association.
Getting To Friends Arena
Stockholm is the capital of Sweden and is therefore reasonably easy to reach, with plentiful options available to you. Here are some ways you might want to get there and to the ground itself:
Train - You can get to Stockholm from London by train if you want, though it will take you more than a day to do so. Once you're there you'll want to get the commuter train from Stockholm Central to Solna Station, which is less than ten minutes walk away. The Underground stops at Solna Centrum, but that's more like thirty minutes from the stadium. Finally you might be tempted by the tram which also stops at Solna Station.
Bus - Bus 103 Arenastaden runs from Solna Station to the ground every weekend and whenever there's a match.
Car - If you're hoping to drive then you'll be heading to the Arenastaden, to the north of Stockholm Central. Your best bet is to put the address into your phone or sat-nav device and it will give you specific instructions of how to get there.
By Air - There are four airports that serve Stockholm. Stockholm-Arlanda Airport is around 25 miles away from the city centre and is probably the closest to the stadium; Bromma is around twenty minutes away and both Skavsta and Västerås are around an hour and twenty from the centre of the city.
Taxi - A taxi from Stockholm Central to the ground will cost you about 190 Kr. and will take about fifteen minutes to complete its journey.
Parking Near Friends Arena
There's no official parking near the stadium and limited car parking spaces around it. You can try, but your best bet might be public transport if you don't know where you're going.

Coach Travel - Eurolines
Parking - Just Park
Friends Arena Hotels
As the capital of Sweden it's reasonably fair to say that Stockholm is used to welcoming visitors. There are a number of hotels that you might want to stay at, of which these are our favourites:
Park Inn by Radisson Solna - £65+
Hotellgatan 11, Solna, 17125
This member of the Park Inn chain of hotels is located about a mile from the ground and boasts two restaurants and the same number of bars. There's free Wi-Fi and a buffet breakfast included in the price of your stay and a fitness centre, a conference centre and a terraced area. More details.
Quality Hotel Friends - £85+
Råsta Strandväg 1, Solna, 169 56
The Quality hotel is practically located at the stadium itself, so you can't go too far wrong if you're looking for somewhere to stay before watching a match. It has three restaurants and offers free Wi-Fi, a buffet breakfast, a fitness centre, a business centre and a conference space. More details.
Story Hotel Signalfabriken - £95+
Sundbybergs Torg 1, Sundbyberg, 172 67
This 4-star hotel offers a buffet breakfast as part of your room package as well as free Wi-Fi. There's a restaurant and a lounge and there are less than 100 rooms, so you know you'll get a reasonably personalised experience. It's about half an hour away from Friends Arena on foot. More details.

Pubs & Bars Near Friends Arena
The Swedish love a drink as much as the next nationality, with the Scandinavian country suffering from a bit of nippy weather from time to time meaning they need to have a drink to keep warm… Here are some places you might like to visit:
Carlsberg Bar
Råsta Strandväg, 169 56, Solna (+46 70 338 14 79)
Carlsberg might not be Swedish but it is one of Scandinavia's most famous alcoholic exports. Little wonder, therefore, that there's a bar in its name located within the stadium itself. It's called Bistro 1847 when it's not been turned into the bar, so you'll be able to get some decent food and drink there before the match.
Odengatan 44, 113 51, Stockholm (+46 8 612 63 78)
The Flying Horse is not far from the centre of Stockholm, so you'll want to have a drink here before making your way out to the ground. It's a traditntal style pub that boasts more than 100 beers and about 120 whiskeys. Not somewhere to pop in just for a quick pint! They show sport on big screens, though, so if there's a match you fancy watching then this is the place to be.
Holländargatan 1, 111 36, Stockholm (+46 8 679 77 07)
There are times when it feels like a stadium guide in a foreign country wouldn't be complete unless it contained a reference to an Irish bar. They are homes from home and a great place to go, with The Dubliner being no exception. Obviously it's an Irish-themed bar, though it has a Swedish twist. The food is great, they show live sport and you can catch some live music there, too. What more do you want?
Having only opened in 2012 it's reasonably fair to say that the Friends Arena is one of the best and most well equipped stadiums in Sweden. The views are excellent from all over the place and you can get food and drink from the concourses before and during football matches and concerts.
By Frankie Fouganthin (Own work) [CC BY-SA 3.0], via Wikimedia Commons
Three-quarters of the stadium has a hospitality level in between the top and lower tiers. The hospitality packages are run by Lagardère Sports, an international company that specialises in such things. There are numerous restaurants throughout the arena as well as Skyboxes for those who enjoy a more private experience.
If you're interesting in finding out about the hospitality lounges that are present at Friends Arena then we can give you some information. Perhaps the West Lounge will pique your interest, with a three-course meal served at your table from an open kitchen. Or maybe the more relaxed environment of the East Lounge is more your thing. Either way you're in for a brilliant evening.
There are rooms and spaces for events of virtually any size. Obviously football matches are played in the arena on a regular basis, but di you know it is used for equestrian events? It's also the location for concerts by bands and musicians. You'll probably be most interested in the conferences and business meetings that take place there, however, and the stadium certainly has the facilities to welcome whatever event you'd like to host.
Stadium Tours & Museum
The guided tour of Friends Arena has something for everyone. Sports fans will obviously be delighted to see behind the scenes at one of Sweden's most illustrious stadiums, whilst fans of architecture will marvel at the way it's been built. Those who love technology will appreciate how it's been integrated into the arena. You'll get to see into the dressing rooms, around the media centre and walk to the side of the pitch.
The stadium tour is free to go on, but they don't run on a regular basis. They happen on chosen dates throughout the year and never on a day when there's an event of any kind taking place there. They begin at 1pm and leave from Entrance A. You don't need to register before hand or get a ticket, just check the date of the tour and turn up. If you're going to Friends Arena for another reason, such as a conference, then you can organise a private tour by communicating with the stadium directly.
About AIK Fotboll
AIK Fotboll Team In 1900 - See page for author [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons
AIK Fotboll are more commonly known simply as AIK. That is short for Allmänna Idrottsklubben and translates as 'The Public Athletics Club'. The athletics side of the club was formed in 1891 and the football side of it was added in 1896. They are one of Sweden's most successful club sides, currently holding the record for the longest time spent in the country's top-flight. The name was intended to be represented of the fact that everyone was welcome at the club; something that is perhaps reflected in the fact that they regularly claim the highest average attendance of any club in Sweden.
They have won the Swedish Championship eleven times, some way off Malmo FF's record of nineteen but still impressive enough. They've finished as runners up in the Allsvenskan thirteen times, too. They've won the Svenska Cupen eight times, the Svenska Mästerskapet six times and the Svenska Supercupen once. They have appeared in the Champions League twice, most recently in 2010-2011, though they more commonly feature in UEFA's Europa League competition. They've never won either.
About Sweden
Sweden National Team in 1911 - See page for author [Public domain or Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons
The Sweden national side played its first game of football in 1908. Anyone watching might have been forgiven for being excited about the future of Swedish football after they beat Norway 11-3. They will have been brought crashing back down to earth with the five games that followed, however, with 1908 featuring matches against England, Great Britain, Belgium and two matches against the Netherlands. The Swedes lost all five of those games. That was more of a portent of what was to come than the 11-3 game could ever have been.
Perhaps that's a touch unfair. After all Sweden have appeared in eleven World Cup finals to date, managing to finish second in 1958 when they lost in the final to Brazil. They qualified for the European Championships for the first time in 1992 when they did so automatically as the competition's hosts. They were no makeweights, however, making it to the semi-finals. They won the Gold Medal in the 1948 Summer Olympics and won the Nordic Football Championship nine times before it was disbanded.
Friends Arena History
By Arild Vågen (Own work) [CC BY-SA 3.0], via Wikimedia Commons
Both AIK Fotboll and the Sweden national side played their games at Råsunda Stadium until they relocated to Friends Arena after it opened in 2012. What makes it so interesting as a football ground is the fact that it can be altered depending on what it's being used for. It has a capacity of 65,000 for concerts and 50,000 for football matches, but it can be scaled back even further to allow for just 20,000 visitors if a more formal occasion is called for.
The Arena is the biggest sports complex in all of the Nordic countries and is famed for its retractable roof, which allows it to be used in any weather conditions. It opened officially in October of 2012 with an opening concert that was genuinely impressive in its size and scope. The Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden did the honours before watching the likes of Agnes Carlsson and Roxette perform in an event designed to represent the best Swedish moments over the years.
In November of 2016 the area around the stadium, inclusive of the Arena itself, was purchased by a company called Fabege. They are likely to spend money developing the local area and making improvements to the ground for the foreseeable future, though no specific plans are in the pipeline at the time of writing.

Tyrod Taylor seems to be the Buffalo Bills' best choice to start at quarterback.
Taylor played the entire first half of Buffalo's 11-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns, completing seven of 10 passes for 65 yards and rushing for 41 yards on four carries.
The Bills only scored three points in Taylor's three first-half drives, but he was playing with a complete no-name set of running backs and receivers. Imagine if he had at least one or two of the Bills' weapons on the field!
Perhaps most impressive was that Taylor didn't choose to run first. That is often the concern whenever a quarterback is mentioned as a multiple threat as a runner and passer. Think Michael Vick and RG3. But Taylor seemed quite calm and threw well. And when necessary, and often by design, he ran and put up good numbers for one half of play.
EJ Manuel was decent against a bunch of players who probably won't be on NFL rosters in a few weeks. Matt Cassel is Taylor's biggest competition and he didn't play at all on Thursday. Which means Ryan is probably trying to decide where Taylor and Manuel should be placed and Cassel already has a seat on the bus. Whether that seat is first or second will be determined, mostly likely by Taylor and his play over the next few weeks.

Non-tuberculous mycobacterial disease increasing across U.S.
by Zeena Nackerdien PhD, CME Writer, MedPage Today Recent estimates point to a rise in NTM lung disease in the U.S., particularly among those older than 50 or those with chronic underlying lung diseases, such as non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, and emphysema. According to a 1997-2007 estimate of the Medicare population (≥65 years old), NTM lung disease increased at an annual rate of 8.2%. In Annals of the American Thoracic Society, Kevin Winthrop, MD, of Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, and colleagues provided a more comprehensive and contemporary estimate (2008-2015) of the annual incidence and prevalence of NTM lung disease in the U.S. They found that NTM lung disease continued to increase, especially among seniors (≥65 years old) and women. "Our findings add to other recent studies from North America and other regions of the world that show NTM disease is increasing," said Winthrop in a press release. Researchers used Optum Clinformatics Data Mart, a de-identified claims database from a national insurance provider. Individuals with NTM lung disease were defined as those who had at least two medical claims with International Classification of Diseases (ICD) clinical modification codes of ICD-9-CM 031.0 or ICD-10-CM A31.0 dated at least 30 days apart. Over the course of the study period, the annual incidence of NTM lung disease increased from 3.13 (95% CI 2.88-3.40) to 4.73 (95% CI 4.43-5.05) per 100,000 person-years and the annual prevalence rose from 6.78 (95% CI 6.45-7.14) to 11.70 (95% CI 11.26-12.16) per 100,000 persons, meaning that the average annual changes in incidence and prevalence were +5.2% and +7.5%, respectively. Looking specifically at women, the annual NTM lung disease incidence increased from 4.16 (95% CI 3.76-4.60) to 6.69 (95% CI 6.19-7.22) per 100,000 person-years. Correspondingly, the annual prevalence increased from 9.63 (95% CI 9.08-10.22) to 16.78 (95% CI 16.04-17.55) per 100,000 persons. Among seniors, the annual incidence increased from 12.70 (95% CI 11.46-14.07) to 18.37 (95% CI 16.98-19.87) per 100,000 person-years and the annual prevalence increased from 30.27 (95% CI 28.41-32.24) to 47.48 (95% CI 45.37-49.67) per 100,000 persons. Looking at geographic variations, researchers found that the incidence and prevalence of NTM lung disease increased in most U.S. states (incidence increased by at least 10% in 29 states, and prevalence increased by at least 10% in 39 states) and overall at the national level. According to the 2007 American Thoracic Society/Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines, clinical, radiographic, and microbiological criteria have to be included in the diagnosis of NTM lung disease. Hence, the use of only real-world ICD coding had inherent drawbacks. In addition, intrinsic deficiencies in the diagnostic coding system may, to some degree, have impaired the accurate diagnosis and recording of cases. Because the researchers lacked access to socioeconomic data, they could also not ascertain how these factors might have impacted NTM lung disease incidence and prevalence. Source Reference: Annals of the American Thoracic Society 2019; DOI: 10.1513/AnnalsATS.201804-236OC Study Highlights and Explanation of Findings: Over the course of the study period (2008-2015), the incidence and prevalence of NTM lung disease appeared to be increasing in the U.S., especially among women and people older than 65. "There are likely multiple reasons for these increases," Winthrop said in the press release. "The number of people at risk is increasing because the population is aging and more people are living with chronic lung diseases. Increasing environmental exposure is also likely a factor, as is greater awareness of NTM disease among physicians." He added that the high rates of NTM lung disease among women may be explained by the fact that they live longer and may be more likely to seek medical care. There may also be as yet unidentified biologic and genetic factors that contribute to greater incidence and prevalence among women. Researchers pointed out that the 7.5% increase in prevalence observed from 2008 to 2015 in the current study was comparable to a previously reported 8.2% increase noted in a 1997-2007 analysis of Medicare Part B claims. They ascribed the slight differences between the studies to the difference in identification criteria for NTM lung disease. In addition, age was likely a driver of the higher prevalence of NTM lung disease among Medicare Advantage beneficiaries relative to commercially insured beneficiaries in the current study. Using four healthcare delivery systems combined, another U.S.-based study showed that the average annual age-adjusted period prevalence for 2004 to 2006 was 5.5 cases per 100,000 persons. This result was in keeping with the overall NTM lung disease prevalence rate for 2008 reported in the present study (6.78 cases per 100,000 persons). Previously, an Oregon-based study showed a relatively small increase of 2.2% (P=0.21) in the annual incidence of NTM lung disease from 2007 to 2012 (from 4.8/100,000 person-years to 5.6/100,000 person-years). By comparison, the present study showed an incidence of NTM lung disease in Oregon of 3.01-4.00 per 100,000 person-years in 2008 and 4.51-6.00 per 100,000 person-years in 2015. Study strengths, according to the authors, included the use of a large nationwide, geographically diverse claims database and the use of two diagnostic codes at least 30 days apart to define disease.

Mondo pendant by Antonio Facco
By alluringlighting on 2018-01-02
MONDO PENANT – A MULTI DIMENSIONAL OBJECT
Mondo consist of four movable metal shades, mounted in pairs, overlapping each other which allow the beholder to interact with the lamp. "Mondo pendant offers the possibility of interaction, in a simple, intuitive and analogue way", says designer Antonio Facco and continue, "the beholder can intervene and change the aesthetics by moving the metal masks, manage the patterns, and control the light effect."
"Now when we see the finished product it's hard to understand that we struggled a lot to find a solution for changing the bulb." says Antonio. Because of the construction with a horizontal movement there were no obvious way to reach the bulb. But when Antonio presented the idea of making one solid shade to hide a hole behind, it suddenly became clear.
Antonio continues; "Mondo means a lot of things. First of all, it is the Italian translation of " world" and the first meaning clearly reminds of the structure of the globe, immediately recognizable in the design. Second, for its ambition of universality, originality and comparison with the world we are living in, and finally a tribute to a great Italian master, Vico Magistretti, creator of the Eclipse Lamp."
RISING TELENT AT THE MAISON & OBJET
Antonio Facco has been chosen by the legendary designer Giulio Cappellini as one of Italy's rising talents at Maison & Objet in Paris, January 2018. "We are proud to launch Mondo pendant together with Antonio", says Erik Möller, founder of Oblure. "We are excited to launch Mondo at the fair. Antonio will exhibit with the other Rising Talents and Oblure will as usual exhibit in Hall number 7, Now! Design À Vivre!"
Mondo Pendant and Mondo floor lamp are made in steel and opal glass. The pendant has a textile cable with a ceiling cup and the floor lamp has a textile cable with an on/off switch. The fitting is E27 and the lamp will be sold with EU plug. Size: 365 mm (H), 280 mm (Pendant), 1530 mm (H), 500 mm (Ø) (Floor lamp).
FINAL WORDS BY ANTONIO FACCO
Finally, Antonio explains how he came up with the idea for Mondo; "I'm very attracted and influenced by participative art. I am interested in observing people and I am fascinated by the idea of being able to involve them into the creative process, authorizing them to become co-authors, because of the unpredictable nature of points of view. Likewise, programmed art. With Mondo Lamp my ambition was to create an object which would offer the public countless possibilities, thanks to the overlapping layers, with a refined and well-defined design. Mondo aims at being a product that invites to the interaction and gives value to the importance of the relationship between man and object, denying quietly the idea of obsolescence."
