Graham Roberts
by import
Graham joined his local club, Southampton, as an associate schoolboy in October 1973, but failed to make the grade and was released, joining Portsmouth in March 1977, before being signed by Tottenham Hotspur in May 1980.
He was a member of the successful Tottenham Hotspur side of the early 1980s, winning two FA Cups and a UEFA Cup in 1984, scoring in the second leg of the final against Anderlecht, and then scoring his penalty as Spurs won the final on a shootout.
He moved to Rangers in 1986 for £450,000 and won the Scottish Premier League in his first full season and the Scottish League Cup a year later.
He joined Chelsea in August 1988 for £475,000 and helped the side emphatically win the Second Division championship in 1988–89. He later moved to West Bromwich Albion, where he played out the remainder of his professional career, and won a total of six caps for England.
In June 2005, Graham was appointed manager of Clyde. He only had 3 players under contract, and held open trials in an attempt to get new players. He gave the supporters their greatest day in years, when his Clyde side defeated Celtic in the Scottish Cup in January 2006. Earlier in the season, Clyde took Rangers to extra time at Ibrox Stadium in the Scottish League Cup.
He has recently coached both the Pakistan and Nepal International football teams.

Tax Court: Attorney's Assistant-Spouse is Independent
by Judith Barnhard, CPA, CFP®, CDFA® on October 20, 2021 in Professional Services, Taxation-Corporate
Disputes concerning employee versus independent contractor have been going on for years. The last attempt by Congress at a fix was in 1978 (yes, that long ago!), and it only produced some penalty relief. Whether a worker is an employee or independent contractor can depend on IRS pronouncements, case law, etc., but it's highly dependent on the facts and circumstances, as one U.S. Tax Court case illustrates.
Darryl Jones was an attorney and married to Tarri Harrold-Jones. They filed separate tax returns. Harrold-Jones owned and operated Tarri's Business Services and performed services for Jones during 2007 and 2008. She reported the income from her husband's office on a Schedule C as an independent contractor. The IRS sought to reclassify her as an employee of Jones.
Jones regularly hired extra workers to help him manage his caseload, and enlisted Harrold-Jones to work on two of his largest cases. The taxpayers were concerned that working together might damage their marriage, so they carefully arranged their business relationship to give Harrold-Jones as much freedom as possible. She did not work at the law office, but worked at the taxpayers' home, which was 45 miles away. The attorney told her what he needed done, but allowed her to accomplish the tasks in her own time and in her own way. They agreed that he could discharge her if the arrangement became unproductive.
One of the cases Harrold-Jones worked on involved a protracted criminal investigation. According to court documents, the client had an "eccentric personality," but got along well with Harrold-Jones. Therefore, Jones appointed her to work with the client, including reviewing documents. She also performed legal research in the law office. She received no regular wages. Her cases settled in 2007 and 2008 and she received a percentage of the fees collected.
Seven Factors – An Independent Contractor?
Determining worker classification is a factual question in which common law principles apply. The IRS and courts generally look at the following seven factors in evaluating the relationship between the principal and the worker, and weigh those factors in determining the correct status.
1. Degree of control. The principal's control over the details of the agent's work is the most important factor in determining whether an employment relationship exists. In an employer-employee relationship, the principal must have the right to control not only the result of the employee's work, but also the means and method used to accomplish the result. The degree of control can vary according to the nature of the services provided. If the work is more independent, a lesser degree of control can still result in a finding of an employer-employee relationship.
Jones did not control the details of his wife's work. Her most important responsibility was keeping an important client calm and focused in the face of a lengthy criminal investigation. Jones cared only about the client's satisfaction and did not control how Harrold-Jones achieved it. These facts suggested she was an independent contractor.
2. Investment in facilities. The fact that a worker provides his or her own facilities and equipment generally indicates independent contractor status. Harrold-Jones worked from her home office and the law office did not pay any of her expenses. This suggested she was an independent contractor.
3. Opportunity for profit or loss. When workers have no opportunities for profit or loss, they are more likely employees than independent contractors. Harrold-Jones received no regular wages and was compensated only after the cases she worked on settled. The payments depended on the amounts of the settlements and she conceivably could have received nothing for her efforts. She risked loss and her profits were linked to her performance. These facts suggested she was an independent contractor.
4. Right to discharge. The taxpayers admit Jones had the right to discharge his wife. This suggested she was an employee.
5. Part of the regular business. When a worker performs tasks in the ordinary course of a principal's business, the worker appears to be more like an employee than an independent contractor. Harrold-Jones primarily worked on two cases. She reviewed documents with clients and performed general legal research. These activities were part of the regular business of the law office. These facts suggested she was an employee.
6. Permanency of the relationship. A transitory work relationship may indicate independent contractor status. Harrold-Jones worked for the law office only while the two cases assigned to her were ongoing. At the time of the trial, she had not worked for the office since the cases settled. Although she worked for the law office for five or six years, her tenure was dependent on the continuation of her cases and could have ended at any time. Her tenure was lengthy, but not permanent. These facts suggested she was an independent contractor.
7. The relationship the parties think they are creating. The law office treated Harrold-Jones as an independent contractor and she considered herself an independent contractor. The office issued Forms 1099-MISC and she paid the self-employment tax. The record reflected that neither party thought she was an employee. This indicated she was an independent contractor.
After weighing all the factors, the Court concluded the wife was an independent contractor during the years at issue. Although some of the factors suggested she was an employee, on balance, the record indicated she was an independent contractor. (Darryl L. Jones, T.C. Memo. 2014-125)
Lessons to Be Learned
While the court found five of the seven factors on the taxpayers' side, it's often a closer call. And the IRS and the courts can, and frequently do, assign different weight to the factors.
The facts are critical. In this case, they lined up in favor of the taxpayer. There may be ways you can nudge some of them in your favor. This might include letting the individual work from home or outside the office, set his or her own hours, and pay expenses rather than reimbursing him or her and avoiding control. Each situation is likely to be unique. It's generally a good idea to consult with your tax advisor (which may also help you to avoid penalties).
While it wasn't mentioned in any detail in the Jones case, it sounded like the wife was familiar enough with the work that she needed no direction. That's often an important factor. Being able to show that a worker has done a similar job at other firms is a help. It's even better if the worker has some professional credentials.
It appears the wife also had her own business (although we don't know the details). If the worker does a similar job for other firms at the same time — or from time to time — that indicates an independent contractor.
Consistency is important. Treating some workers doing similar tasks and in similar situations differently is likely to raise questions. Reliance on how other firms in the same industry treat workers can also be a factor. You're on safer ground if there is some industry consensus.
If the payment is large enough to require a Form 1099-MISC, make sure your law firm files one.
A relationship based on one, or only a few clearly defined assignments, will bolster your case for the worker being an independent contractor. A contract defining the scope of the work, what's expected and the reasons for discharge (for example, failure to meet milestones) is a big plus. Some cases have turned on this.
If you're audited, expect a challenge. It's an IRS hot button. In addition to having facts on your side, you should have any required documentation — including 1099 forms, an opinion from your tax advisor, contracts, as well as any documents related to the work assigned and performed, such as dates of service.
If the issues weren't complicated enough, some states have stricter rules. Keep in mind that if a worker is reclassified from an independent contractor to an employee, it can be very expensive. In addition to federal taxes and penalties, there can be state taxes and penalties, unemployment insurance, Workers' Compensation, as well as other potential issues.

One week after hyping the failed GOP memo, the White House, and much of the press, goes silent over the Democratic rebuttal.
One week after releasing its supposed blockbuster, "worse than Watergate" memo to smear the FBI that turned out to be an embarrassing dud, the Trump White House has gone quiet about the Democrats' counter-memo.
Drafted in response to the GOP report, the new report will likely provide details debunking the Republicans' failed effort last week to cast doubt on the FBI, and on special counsel Robert Mueller's ongoing investigations.
The House Intelligence Committee, in a rare act of bipartisanship agreement, voted Monday to release the Democratic memo. But Republicans, led by committee chairman Devin Nunes of California, only did so after they released last week's memo first, and without allowing Democrats to present their side in real time.
The memo was sent to the White House on Monday and, by law, Trump has five days to review and decide whether to allow its release and, if so, whether to order parts of it redacted.
It's the same review process that Trump, touting "transparency," used to release the Republican memo last week, which means it would be stunning if he blocked the Democratic report.
"Basic fairness" would dictate Trump treat both documents similarly, CNN's Jeffrey Toobin noted on Friday.
And according to a recent CNN report, "One White House aide told CNN there is an unspoken agreement that it will reflect poorly on the administration if the Republican memo gets released while the Democratic one does not."
But Trump often opts for the illogical and the unfair. And this White House constantly does things that "reflect poorly on the administration," such as defend a wife-beater who works on staff without proper security clearance.
Note that Trump released the GOP memo last week over the strong, public objection of the FBI, which warned that its omission made the documents incomplete. The bureau warned that it would be "extraordinarily reckless" to make the memo public. The FBI has expressed no such reservations about the Democratic report.
In a strange way, the White House has benefited on the memo issue by a string of disastrous news stories — including a cratering stock market and the ethical collapse of Trump's chief of staff — that has shifted the media's focus away from the crucial Democratic report.
Last Friday, the Republican memo was made public and widely derided as a GOP marketing flop. Then, early this week when the House voted to send the Democratic memo to the White House, the topic received urgent news coverage.
But not any more. And that could allow Trump to refuse to release the memo at the end of the workweek and have it garner relatively little attention.
Earlier this week, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wrote a letter to Trump, insisting that if he does not release the Democrats' memo, it "will confirm the American people's worst fears that the release of Chairman Nunes' memo was only intended to undermine Special Counsel Bob Mueller's investigation."
For lots of Americans, that fear has already been confirmed.

Coming soon - a smart public lighting system in Brussels
Since this autumn, Sibelga, as manager of the municipal public lighting network, is deploying "smart" light points in the capital. Remotely controllable, these new-generation luminaires will enable even more efficient management of public lighting!
On course for the smart city of the future!
After several years of research and deliberation, we've done it! The first connected light points will be activated on the Brussels public lighting network this winter. This firmly establishes Brussels as one of the leading cities in terms of intelligent management of public lighting, taking it a step further towards the Smart City of the future.
Improved service quality for the people of Brussels
What differentiates a connected light point from a conventional luminaire is its ability to send and receive information. Indeed, this technology provides information about the status of each light point at any time, makes it possible to identify broken luminaires or assign precise operating or dimming times to each point.
A park stays open till 8 p.m.? There's no point keeping the lighting on until 10 p.m. So we can switch it off, while keeping the luminaires on the other side of the street on full blast.
In short? More energy savings, less light pollution and a safer environment due to a reduction in down time. But also a fast and precise callout in the event of failure, as the dysfunctions of these luminaires are reported almost in real time.
Gradual deployment
The first connected light points of the Brussels public lighting system will be activated this winter. "In the last few years, we have already installed around 8,000 new-generation luminaires that are compatible with this new smart system. A transmitter around 8 cm in diameter is all it takes to get them up and running," explains Bénédicte Collard, Public Lighting Manager.
The deployment will therefore be carried out first and foremost on these existing luminaires: several thousands of them are scheduled to be connected by early 2021. In total, 25% of the municipal public lighting fleet will be converted by 2023!
"A final point to note is that Sibelga has opted for an open connected lighting solution, which guarantees a high degree of independence in terms of equipment suppliers. We absolutely wanted to avoid being trapped by a particular solution or supplier, which would have been detrimental to us in the event of a major price increase, for example," explains Bénédicte.
A long-term vision, therefore, which allows us to look forward to the evolution of our public lighting with peace of mind!
The luminaire is equipped with a small transmitter about 8 cm in diameter that communicates and receives information.

Een economische sector is een deel van de economie. Het is een benaming voor alle bedrijven samen die actief zijn in een bepaalde categorie producten of diensten. Voorbeelden zijn de bouw, auto-, visverwerkende industrie en horeca.

Een economische sector wordt ook wel een branche of bedrijfstak genoemd. In het Engels duiden we een economische sector aan met de term industry of economic sector.

De indeling in economische sectoren hoort thuis in de meso-economie, die bedrijfstakken bestudeert.

Sectorindeling van de economie
Een populaire algemene indeling van de economie is de indeling in de volgende vier sectoren:
 Primaire sector. De primaire sector is de economische sector die grondstoffen en voedsel levert. Deze sector beslaat de sectoren landbouw, veeteelt, jacht, visserij en de delfstoffenwinning. De verwerking van deze grondstoffen gebeurt in de secundaire sector.
 Secundaire sector. Deze sector staat bekend als de industrie. Dit behelst alle bedrijven en activiteiten die de grondstoffen van de primaire sector verwerken. De producten worden doorgaans door de tertiaire sector aan de consument doorverkocht.
 Tertiaire sector. Deze sector omvat de commerciële dienstverlening: bedrijven die met de verkoop van hun diensten winst willen maken. Tot de tertiaire sector rekent men onder andere winkels, horeca, theaters, kappers, groothandels, transportbedrijven, verhuurders, uitzendbureaus, accountants, advocaten, adviseurs en ICT-bedrijven.
 Quartaire sector. De quartaire sector is de niet-commerciële dienstverlening, de enige economische sector zonder winstoogmerk. In deze sector vallen de overheidsdiensten en de door de overheid gesubsidieerde diensten. Voorbeelden zijn ziekenhuizen, verpleeghuizen, brandweer, defensie, gezondheidszorg, sociaal werk, onderwijs en cultuur.

De dienstensector wordt gevormd door de tertiaire en quartaire sector gezamenlijk. In ontwikkelde economieën zoals in West-Europa en de Verenigde Staten wordt tussen de 70 en 80 procent van het bruto binnenlands product in de dienstensector gerealiseerd.

Andere sectoren
Op bedrijfstakniveau kan men in de economie verdere sectoren onderkennen, zoals:
 Cultuursector - dat deel van de maatschappij, waar de kunst en cultuur wordt geproduceerd, gepresenteerd, gepubliceerd, geconsumeerd, geconserveerd en overgeleverd.
 Financieel-economische sector - de administratieve wereld en de bank- en verzekeringswereld.
 Industriële sector - alle bedrijven die producten ontwikkelen en fabrieksmatig reproduceren.
 IT-sector - de economische sector die bestaat uit alle leveranciers van producten en diensten op het gebied van informatietechnologie.
 Onderwijs - alle universiteiten, hogescholen, mbo's, roc's, instellingen voor voortgezet onderwijs, basisonderwijsinstellingen en varianten van speciaal onderwijs.
 Overheid - alle instellingen op het niveau van centrale overheid (ministeries), regionale overheid (provincies, jeugdzorg en waterschappen) en lokale overheid (gemeenten en stadsdelen).
 Transportsector - alle bedrijven die zich bezighouden met het transporteren van mensen en goederen (van taxibedrijven tot luchtvaartmaatschappijen); een onderdeel hiervan is de logistieke sector - alle bedrijven die werken aan het correct en tijdig afleveren van mensen en goederen, vaak groothandelsbedrijven.
 Zorgsector - alle bedrijven en instellingen die zich richten op de lichamelijke en geestelijke gezondheidszorg van mensen thuis en mensen die verblijven in zorginstellingen.
 Wetenschapssector - aanduiding voor het geheel van de bedrijvigheid op het gebied van de wetenschap.

Sectorindeling voor beleggers
Beleggers maken veel gebruik van de Global Industry Classification Standard die is ontwikkeld door MSCI. Deze laatste is een belangrijke leverancier van beursindices wereldwijd. Veel beleggers hanteren deze sectorindeling waardoor beleggingsfondsen onderling goed te vergelijken zijn wat hun positionering in sectoren betreft. De GICS heeft 10 sectoren onderscheiden.

 Energie – exploreren, winnen, opslaan en raffineren van aardolie, aardgas, steenkool en andere brandstoffen
 Materialen – producenten van chemicaliën, cement, glas en andere bouwproducten, verpakkingsmaterialen, bosbouw en papier, mijnbouwbedrijven anders dan energie.
 Industrie – producenten van kapitaalgoederen, transport inclusief reders en luchtvaart- en spoorwegmaatschappijen, commerciële dienstverleners waaronder uitzend- en accountantsbureaus
 Duurzame consumptiegoederen – automobielfabrikanten, producenten van huishoudelijke apparatuur, bouwbedrijven, textielbedrijven, de reisbranche inclusief exploitanten van casino's, hotels en pretparken, mediabedrijven en detailhandel, zowel winkels als online.
 Niet-duurzame consumptiegoederen – producenten van levensmiddelen en dranken en andere consumptieve producten, supermarkten, agrarische bedrijven en fabrikanten van rookwaren.
 Gezondheidszorg – geneesmiddelenproducenten, leveranciers van medische apparatuur en ziekenhuizen.
 Financiële diensten – banken, verzekeraars en beheerders van onroerend goed.
 Informatietechnologie – alle bedrijven actief op het gebied van de ontwikkeling en productie van hard- en software.
 Telecommunicatiediensten- telefoonmaatschappijen en kabelbedrijven.
 Nutsbedrijven – bedrijven actief in de productie en distributie van elektriciteit, aardgas en water.

Bedrijfstak en branche
Bedrijfstak is de verzamelnaam voor een groep organisaties/bedrijven binnen één bepaalde branche. De organisaties in een bedrijfstak vervullen een gelijksoortige functie in het voortbrengingsproces van een bepaalde product of dienst. Bijvoorbeeld de bedrijfstak voor brandstofleveranciers bestaat uit bedrijven als Shell, Texaco, Esso etc.

Een branche is een benaming voor alle bedrijven samen die actief zijn in een bepaalde categorie producten of diensten. Om de collectieve belangen van bedrijven in een branche te behartigen is per branche vaak een brancheorganisatie in het leven geroepen.

Branchevervaging of parallellisatie ontstaat als een bedrijf/organisatie activiteiten gaat verrichten in een bedrijfstak van een andere bedrijfskolom. Bijvoorbeeld: een benzinestation met daarin een supermarkt.

Formele classificatie standaarden
Formele van overheidswege ingestelde classificatie van economische activiteiten zijn bijvoorbeeld:
 de Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)-codering waarmee men een bedrijf classificeren binnen een sector en daarbinnen op bedrijfstakniveau.
 De Standaard Bedrijfsindeling (SBI) ontworpen door het CBS.
 De International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC): De door de Verenigde Naties ontworpen classificatie van economische activiteiten.

Is Nigeria's Brazilian heritage under threat?
Established by former slaves, residents of the Brazilian quarter of Lagos face a battle against the bulldozers.
by Chris Stein
A house constructed in Brazilian style is pictured on October 15, 2016 in the Brazilian quarter of Lagos, Nigeria [Chris Stein/Al Jazeera]
Lagos, Nigeria - Though he grew up in one of Africa's largest English-speaking cities, Alexander De Souza remembers a childhood when Portuguese was spoken in the streets, Brazilian dishes were served in the kitchen and friends and family lived in houses styled in the architecture of Sao Paulo.
De Souza spent the early years of his childhood in the "Brazilian quarter" of Nigeria's largest city, Lagos, a part of town so named because former slaves from Brazil settled there to restart their lives in the 19th century.
Decades of British colonisation that ended in 1960 made Nigeria a firmly Anglophone country, with English the lingua franca and thousands of Nigerians living in countries such as Britain and the United States.
But in the Brazilian quarter of Lagos, the festivals, meals and architecture all have a distinctive South American touch, thanks to the legacy of the "agudas", a distortion of the Portuguese word for the cotton that became a moniker for the returned slaves.
Yet, many in the quarter worry that these traditions and cultural relics may not last much longer.
The descendants of the freed slaves are moving out of the neighbourhood. Brazilian-style houses have been sold off and renovated. And, in September, a developer levelled the Ilojo Bar, a 161-year-old house built by a returned slave that had been designated a national monument.
"[The demolition is] a very big, massive loss for this culture, for this community," said Gasper da Silva, a resident of the quarter and president of the Brazilian Descendants' Union, which organises traditional Brazilian events there.

A question of heritage
Da Silva traces his heritage back to Hemengildo Gaspar da Silva, a prince of the Oyo Empire, which held sway over the Yoruba people of southwest Nigeria and parts of neighbouring Benin before colonisation.
Sold into slavery by his guards in the late 18th century, da Silva's great-great-grandfather was taken to Brazil and forced to work as a servant.
After gaining his freedom in the 1800s, he sold fabric, married two wives, had five children and then returned to the shores of Nigeria at the age 66.
"He wanted to come back to trace his history," da Silva told Al Jazeera.
He bought a swath of land in what was to become the quarter, and built a family house in the design of those he'd seen in Brazil.
Families such as the Martins, Da Rochas and Campos - whose very names illustrate the Brazilian influence - did the same: establishing themselves as a unique community of Portuguese speakers in a land that was gradually falling under the influence of British colonists.
When slavery was abolished in the 19th century in the Americas, the number of agudas in Lagos grew as former slaves in Brazil travelled to West Africa.

A census taken in 1888 by the British colonial government recorded 3,221 "Brazilians" in Lagos, according to a 2010 history of slave repatriation in West Africa published by the Brazilian government.
During the 20th century, the city's population swelled and the post-independence government filled in land around the Brazilian quarter to build modern freeways and high rises for banks and oil companies.
Still, the families in the quarter kept their traditions alive in the face of growing modernity, passing down property and customs from generation to generation.
The neighbourhood continues to hold carnivals every Easter, new year and Christmas, when Brazilian dishes, such as frejon and feijoada, are served to revellers.
An exchange of traditions
The African slaves also influenced the way of life in Brazil. They brought their language, Yoruba, which is widely spoken in southwestern Nigeria today and also in parts of Brazil's Bahia state. Masquerades traditional to the Yoruba people known as Egungun can also be found in Brazil, just as they can on the streets of Lagos.
On a weekend in late October, a crowd of intoxicated young men followed a masquerade, called an Agodongbo, through the Brazilian quarter, hitting each other with tree branches in a show of strength as they trailed the masked performer.
As Graciano Oladipupo Martins followed the muddy Lagos roads that snake between the narrow, multi-storey houses of the quarter to join the crowd, he noted the changes in his neighbourhood.
"You see, most of the houses are undergoing renovation," said Martins, a Portuguese language instructor and great-grandson of an African trader who'd sent slaves to Brazil. "The Brazilian touches are fading, gradually."
Though the name "Brazilian quarter" remains widely used in Lagos today, the neighbourhood's unique style is becoming less and less apparent, residents say.

Knowing the buildings
Da Silva's family home, an example of Brazilian architecture that included a distinctive penthouse room on the roof, partially burned down years ago.
Martins sold his family's house because it was empty. Most of his relatives had moved to parts of Lagos where they could afford land and build their own homes. Developers bought the house and renovated it. Now it looks like any other structure in Lagos, Martins said.
"Some of the Brazilian houses were not well-kept," said Oluyomi MacGregor, a leader of the Brazilian community. "Some people did not know the history of their buildings."

Other structures have fallen into unscrupulous hands. The house of Ramon Campos, a structure built in 1812 and overlooking a square that today serves as a space for football games and street parties, was demolished earlier this year without the consent of the family that owned it.
But perhaps no loss has been felt by the community as acutely as that of the Ilojo Bar.
The building, which had hosted a drinking spot and a musical instrument shop at various points in its long history, was one of the few in Lagos protected under the authority of the National Commission for Museums and Monuments.
But members of the family that owned the building claimed it was unsafe and dilapidated, and decided they wanted to tear it down.
Taiwo Awoniyi, chief heritage officer at the National Museum in Lagos, said the family tried four times to raze the building, only for museum officials to intervene.

On a Sunday morning, during the September Eid al-Adha holiday, the bulldozers finally succeeded, levelling the structure.
"It's a death. We are culturally bereaved," MacGregor said. "It seems as if there's a deliberate policy not to have historical heritage in Lagos."

The demolition contravened the law, Awoniyi said. "The demolition as far as we are concerned at the museum is an act of criminality," he explained.
Legacy, a historical group based in Lagos, took measured drawings of the building years ago. It could conceivably be rebuilt.
But before its demolition, long-discussed plans by museum officials to restore the building and turn it into a tourist attraction never got off the ground because there wasn't money to pay for it, Awoniyi said.
Shocked by the building's destruction, da Silva has discussed with other families the idea of rebuilding Ilojo Bar, perhaps by raising money from wealthy families in the community.
The only people he hasn't discussed the demolition with are his relatives back in Brazil, the descendants of the two sons of his great-great-grandfather, who remained in the South American country. He has kept in regular touch with them over Facebook, discussing each other's families and lives on opposite sides of the Atlantic.
"They are going to feel so bad," da Silva said of his relatives. "I feel it is going to be a kind of disgrace on our part here."

Hambach forest occupation against brown coal mining, Germany

The Hambach forest, located in Rhineland, Germany, has been one of the few remaining old growth forests in Germany. It has also been a concession area for the expansion of one of Germany's largest brown coal open cast mines, operated by the RWE Power AG Company. Since 2012, environmental activists have been occupying the forest to avoid further deforestation as well as CO2 emissions driving climate change (1).
Once covering an area of 5,500ha, the Hambach forest has had a history of 12,000 years of uninterrupted existence and ecological evolution, and as such has been home to many species ranging from rare plants to endangered birds and bats. In 1978, the area came under a brown coal mining concession, granted to the RWE Power AG Company, which soon turned large parts of the forest into a large open cast mine expanding over 8,500ha, requiring the relocation of villages. While nowadays a small forest area is still remaining, almost complete clearing will be required to fully develop the mine until 2030. Moreover, in order to give way for the development of the mine, part of the national Highway A4 needed to be realigned, further driving habitat fragmentation as well as drastically affecting quality of life of the local population.
First efforts to stop mining became strongly visible in 2004, when Greenpeace activist seized a bulldozer for a few days. Moreover, the citizens group "Aktionsgemeinschaft der Bürgerinitiativen gegen die Verlegung der A 4" was created to oppose the highway realignment, filing a lawsuit in 2009 against the company in cooperation with the NGO BUND (Friends of the Earth Germany), which however could not stop it (2). In an effort to save the remaining forest from deforestation and to avoid the devastating environmental impacts associated to open cast mines, such as drastic landscape change, toxic emission of heavy metals, and vast amounts of CO2 emissions (3), environmental activists started to occupy the forest on April 14, 2012 (1). The activists and EJOs blamed the company to develop their activities in spite of the biological uniqueness of the forest, which under EU law should be declared as conservation area (3). However, only a few areas with less than 220ha have been declared as Natura2000 habitats, while the remaining areas were allowed to be further developed. According to BUND, proper environmental impact assessments were not conducted, although required. Until 2030, around 5,200 villagers will have undergone relocation in order to make room for the mine (1;2;3).
Resistance activities are ongoing and have been based on effective organization among activists, targeting the occupation of forest areas and trees to avoid deforestation. While the first occupation endured 6 months, during November 2012, 600 police officers evicted the activists from their tree homes, as well as from an underground tunnel system, build by the activists 6 meters below ground to prevent eviction. However, occupation continued and activists started to establish a base camp at the surrounding meadows to continue organizing their environmental justice activities. Many forest occupations and evictions, but also trials and releases have followed. The situation sharpened in October 2014, when activists were accused of having used violence against security guards and workers (1). Activists however declared that security workers attacked them with pepper spray, beat one of them unconscious and tied them up after trying to block deforestation activities in a non-violent way (4). The conflicts surrounding the remaining forest area are currently ongoing.

(May 01, Washington, Sri Lanka Guardian) A satellite-derived estimate based on automatic detection methods, indicates there are approximately 31,400 buildings / shelters within the CSZ and approximately 800 additional shelters immediately outside the zone as of 6 March 2009. This is an increase of approximately 18,200 from the count estimate of 13,200 on 19 February, and a total increase of over 28,700 from 5 February 2009. Note that the satellite imagery from 6 March 2009 did not cover the southern portion of the CSZ and thus the total shelter count is likely to be higher.
The count from 5 February (2,650) represented almost all fixed buildings, and not tent shelters associated with IDP presence. Because of this rapid influx of IDPs, the available land for shelter placement has decreased, forcing thousands of IDPs arriving in late February and early March to locate their tents on marginal lands previously avoided by earlier IDP arrivals in the CSZ. As the three satellite imagery focus maps illustrate below, thousands of IDP shelters have been erected in wetland areas prone to flooding, along the beach within 200m of the coastline as well as on deforested land, recently cleared for new settlement. Analysis was done with WorldView-1 satellite imagery from 5, 18-19 February & QuickBird imagery from 6 March 2009. This is an initial assessment and has not been verified in the field. Projection : UTM Zone 44 North, Datum : WGS-84.
