CELTIC are set to up their bid to £275,000 to finally seal the signing of Northern Irish international Niall McGinn.
The SPL champions had offered £250,000 but Derry also want an additional 10 percent to cover a sell-on fee, due to McGinn's former club Dungannon Swifts.
Derry want the additional cash while Celtic would rather organise another friendly match at the Brandywell.
That is something Derry are keen to avoid because they already have another outstanding match to play from Paddy McCourt's earlier transfer.
Celtic also played their earlier this season and many Derry supporters were left annoyed and frustrated that Gordon Strachan only sent his second string across the water for the game.
The current haggling is not seen as a deal breaker although several Championship clubs are also interested in McGinn, who was last season's young player of the year in Ireland.
Derry manager Stephen Kenny knocked back an approach to take McGinn on trial earlier this month.
Swansea also made two bids for the player but couldn't meet Derry's valuation.
Meanwhile, Celtic manager Gordon Strachan remains hopeful that Scotland pair Gary Caldwell and Paul Hartley will commit their futures to the clubs over the coming weeks.
Both are out of contract in the summer, while Celtic have already opened talks with Caldwell's representatives.
Strachan said: "Contract talks are a business now. There is brinkmanship and the manager and the players stand back from that and let the others get on with it.
"They all play games and the most important thing is that it doesn't affect the player.
The Celtic boss also admitted he still has to make a decision on Norwegian international Erlend Hanstveit, who trained this week with SK Brann contract set to expire later this month.
Meanwhile, Czech teenagers Milan Misun and Antonin Fantis were two of more than a dozen promising youngster who have been on trial at Lennoxtown this week.
Kevin Clifton and Stacey Dooley 'cement Karen's decision' - is she set to make a big move?

'I am considering leasing some land in Phuket and building. Should I form a company in Hong Kong or BVI and then lease the land. If three (or more people) go in on this deal is an overseas company OK or do we need a Thai company".
There is also no local advantage (in terms of foreign ownership rights) in using a foreign corporate entity to acquire interest in land - indeed it is a slight hassle, because you will need translation into Thai of all the corporate documents, when you first lease the land and for any subsequent transactions by the company. The possible advantage of foreign corporate lease is that change of ownership interest (full or partial) could take place offshore by sale of shares in the foreign company. That might save a little on transfer fees and taxes. That said those shareholders do not have any direct rights to the land the company is leasing and will have to take adequate steps to ensure control of their interest in the offshore company.
A Thai company on the other hand can own land in it's own name, bearing in mind however that no more than 49% of the shares can be held in a foreign name. With due discretion, it is not unusual for Thai nominees to hold shares for a foreign party. While there is nothing illegal in this per se it is strictly speaking illegal to have nominees holding shares for the express purpose of avoiding the laws restricting foreign ownership of property. Unless you have a real business need for a company in Thailand I would not recommend this approach.
Tim Rice of Patong writes "I have heard that many developers contact wealthy friends to invest in their new projects. The friend gamble 100,000 Baht down - and if it goes well pay the bank. If it does not go well they just walk away and leave the bank holding the paper. If this practice were indeed widespread it would obviously leave the bank with a lot of bad paper. How could a private investor get a list of projects in default"?
In time of sudden market slow down (as we saw in the last few years) a lot of these gamblers either lost their stake (to the developer) or if they have long term faith in the property continue payments (usually up to about 30 or 40%) at which time the financing bank will release title (from the developers construction loans) and transfer ownership to the buyer against a mortgage.
Contrary to what you have heard, the banks are not unenlightened, and most mortgages must also backed up by personal guarantees, meaning that in the final resort the bank can ask the court to attach other property or income of a defaulting mortgagor. So in most instances a buyer cannot simply walk away from a bad investment.
Banks do not publicly list projects in distress, though privately may pass on recommendations regarding potential fire sales. So if you are in the market, a chat over a few beers with you local bank manager might prove interesting.

Autograft reinforcement to preserve autograft function after the ross procedure: a report from the german-dutch ross registry.
BACKGROUND: Autograft reinforcement interventions (R) during the Ross procedure are intended to preserve autograft function and improve durability. The aim of this study is to evaluate this hypothesis. METHODS AND RESULTS: 1335 adult patients (mean age:43.5+/-12.0 years) underwent a Ross procedure (subcoronary, SC, n=637; root replacement, Root, n=698). 592 patients received R of the annulus, sinotubular junction, or both. Regular clinical and echocardiographic follow-up was performed (mean:6.09+/-3.97, range:0.01 to 19.2 years). Longitudinal assessment of autograft function with time was performed using multilevel modeling techniques. The Root without R (Root-R) group was associated with a 6x increased reoperation rate compared to Root with R (Root+R), SC with R (SC+R), and without R (SC-R; 12.9% versus 2.3% versus 2.5%.versus 2.6%, respectively; P<0.001). SC and Root groups had similar rate of aortic regurgitation (AR) development over time. Root+R patients had no progression of AR, whereas Root-R had 6 times higher AR development compared to Root+R. In SC, R had no remarkable effect on the annual AR progression. The SC technique was associated with lower rates of autograft dilatation at all levels of the aortic root compared to the Root techniques. R did not influence autograft dilatation rates in the Root group. CONCLUSIONS: For the time period of the study surgical autograft stabilization techniques preserve autograft function and result in significantly lower reoperation rates. The nonreinforced Root was associated with significant adverse outcome. Therefore, surgical stabilization of the autograft is advisable to preserve long-term autograft function, especially in the Root Ross procedure.

Bergen giardiasis outbreak – Sick leave before and after acute giardiasis
In 2004 there was a large outbreak of gastroenteritis caused by the parasite Giardia lamblia. It is estimated that about 5000 people were sick and of these 1250 had a verified infection. The project is based on the data collected three years after the outbreak where we found that 46% of the patients had irritable bowel syndrome and 46% had chronic fatigue. This was three times more prevalent than among controls without previous giardiasis. By merging these results with data from the official registry on sickness absence and disability pension (FD-Trygd) we will explore several question:
Were there any difference in sick leave before the outbreak among Giardia-patients compared to others?
Where there any difference in sick leave before the outbreak among Giardia-patients who three years later had irritable bowel syndrome or chronic fatigue compared to those without these conditions?
What was the extent of short term and long term sick leave after the outbreak among patients with a verified diagnosis of giardiasis in 2004 compared to the controls?
This project will increase our knowledge about the consequences after the giardiasis outbreak, both to individual patients and to society, and about irritable bowel syndrome and chronic fatigue.
This is Knut-Arne Wensaas' post.doc. project funded by the Norwegian Research Council: «Irritable bowel syndrome and chronic fatigue following infection with Giardia lamblia. Premorbid factors and long-term consequences.»

One of the most difficult situations for a business owner or entrepreneur is dealing with customers who are past-due on their accounts. Asking for payment in a polite but firm manner is a delicate issue, but balance can be achieved. You should send a reminder notice stating how much is due and how the customer can pay. If the customer doesn't pay by the deadline, then you should follow up with additional letters. In general, there are three letters: a first notice, a firm reminder, and a final demand.
Format your letter. Your letter should be set up like a standard business letter. Set the font to something readable—usually Times New Roman 12 point works for most readers.
Remember to include the date that you are sending the letter.
If you don't use company letterhead, then you need to include your business address at the top.
Request payment. You should mail out an initial reminder the first day that payment is due. You want to use a friendly tone. After all, the customer may have simply forgotten that payment was due or a check might even be in the mail. Make sure to give the customer a deadline for paying.
You might be willing to offer a payment plan. If so, then mention that in the letter. For example, you might accept half of the amount due this month and the other half a month later.
If credit card payment is an option, include lines at the bottom of your letter for the card number, expiration date, cardholder name, signature, and the amount to be charged.
Conclude the letter. You should tell the customer what attachments you have included. Also make sure to tell them to disregard the letter if payment has already been sent. If your letterhead doesn't contain a phone number or email address, then you should provide that information as well.
Remember to sign your letter. Also include your title, e.g., Patient Account Coordinator.
Send the notice to the customer. You can send the letter using email or by mail. If you send by mail, then it's best to send certified mail, return receipt requested. This will show that the customer has received your reminder.
Don't forget to include any enclosures, such as a copy of the invoice or an envelope.
If you send this notice by email, then send attachments as PDFs.
Remind the customer that they are overdue. Prepare a second letter using the same format as the first. Remember to mention that you have already sent a first notice but you haven't heard anything. If you've added late fees, charges, or interest, make sure to mention that. Adopt a serious tone. Your first reminder was friendly, but now you need to start being serious.
Provide another deadline. Give the customer another seven days or so to send payment. Also remind them of the consequences if they don't pay up. For example, you might add late fees or other charges.
You can remind the customer of your acceptable payment methods, using the same language that you used in your first notice.
Conclude the letter. You can tell the customer what will happen if they don't pay up. For example, you might have a policy of no longer doing business with someone if they are late with their payments.
You shouldn't email this notice. Instead, mail it certified mail, return receipt requested. Always keep a copy for your own records.
Identify the letter as your final demand. Set up the letter as a standard business letter. However, also include a heading, such as the words "Final Demand." Put the words in bold and underline them. You want the recipient to know that this is their last chance to pay up before you take additional action.
Explain late fees. You should tell the customer that they are now in breach of your agreement and that you have added interest or a penalty for being late. Then tell them the new total amount they need to pay.
Give a deadline. You should tell the customer how much time they have to make final payment. You should not give them too much time. For example, you could set a 72-hour deadline. Explain what will happen if the customer doesn't meet the deadline. For example, you might pass the account onto collections or sue the customer in court.
You can bold the "seventy-two hours" to make those words stand out.
Mail the letter. You should send this one through the post, using certified mail, return receipt requested. If you don't hear back from the customer, then go ahead and send the account to collections or sue—whichever you threatened in the letter.
If you are not receiving any responses from your payment reminders, think about calling the customer. It is more difficult to avoid the situation when he or she is actually talking to a representative of your company.
Create a template for your company to use in all cases of delinquent accounts. The template will have spaces to fill in the specific information for a particular customer. For example, leave the name, amount owed, days delinquent and other specifics blank until it is filled out for a specific customer.

Ticks and the Role of the State
Until 2011, the Public Health Pest Management (PHPM) section of NC Department of Environmental & Natural Resources was charged with helping to protect the public from vector-borne diseases. Historically focusing on mosquitoes, they received additional funding in 2008 to expand their focus on ticks and tick-borne disease. From 2008 until 2011, PHPM conducted extensive tick work, aiding the public with disease prevention. Legislative action abolished the section in July 2011 leaving the state without any public health branch to continue these activities. Fortunately, in late 2016 and early 2017, in part because of Zika virus concerns and resultant funding, Michael Doyle was hired as one state public health entomologist. He previously worked on mosquito issues in Key West. A second entomologist, Dr. Alexis Barbarin, hired in January 2017, will be mostly involved with tick-related issues. Her background is in bedbugs She previously studied and worked at both Penn State and NCSU. Their efforts will help NC address mosquitoes, ticks and other arthropod vectors of disease-causing agents with the goal of reducing transmission of vector-borne diseases through public education and outreach and targeted evidenced based interventions.
Reporting of certain tick-borne infections is required by the Communicable Disease law. epi.publichealth.nc.gov/cd/report.html

Hi All, new to this forum but not to the forum world nor Nissan. as my User name suggest I have a P11 Primera with a Gti-r Sr20DET swap. Engine has remained stock with upgraded turbo (GT2871) and MAF Q45. I use the car mostly for Auto-X and was only looking for a responsive motor and it has been reliable for about 125,000 k/m until recently when it popped out of gear and over revved and destroyed the rockers.
The engine was a simple "build" to keep reliable but the chassis is not and has a lot of work done to it with still more to come. Here are some pics of the ride. I will be here asking for guidance in regards to the engine build or refresh.
Thanks, It goes very well with little drama, hooks very nice and surprises a lot of people the way it hooks up and goes in 2nd gear.
Welcome to the club - nice looking car - always fancied visiting the Cayman Islands - nice to have another member from a new location !


Geza Burghardt is undoubtedly Hungary's top builder of traditional classical guitars. Although his career began in Budapest in the early 1980s, he moved to Vancouver, Canada in 1988 where he eventually set up a shop in the quaint location of Granville Island. In addition to building guitars, Geza also constructs fine instruments from the bowed string family including everything from double-basses to violins. He also manages to fit restoration work and teaching into his schedule! This guitar, his "Grand Concert", is in excellent condition for its age - no cracks, damage or repairs - only some minor wear in the finish. It is a beautifully made instrument with high-grade materials and elegant design work - most noticeably in the rosette which bears a tip-of-the-hat to the "cumbre" guitar (FE 08) of Torres in the mosaic section - with checkered pattern alternating with MOP inlays. Sound is lush and smooth, with a loose, relaxed, played-in quality. Trebles are warm, basses are plump - simply a wonderful guitar in every regard. Burghardt guitars rarely appear on the second-hand market so it's a real treat to be able to have this fine guitar on offer.

The Brexit white paper: what it must address – immigration
'Taking back control' of immigration policy, and in particular ending free movement, may have been the most important single issue driving the Brexit vote.
And it was that issue which drove the Prime Minister's fateful decision, at the October 2016 Conservative Party Conference, to set out her three "red lines"—"control over our borders, our money, and our laws"—a decision which, more than anything, has led to the current impasse in the negotiations and the need for the UK to reset policy with the white paper.
The EU27 have been clear from the outset that the 'four freedoms' are indivisible—that is, if we want to remain part of the single market after Brexit, then that means accepting freedom of movement.
It may not necessarily be in precisely its current form or without restrictions—the versions of free movement that apply to Norway and Switzerland, within the single market but outside the EU, are not identical to the rules that apply to the UK now—but these countries nevertheless accept the principle.
It is not impossible, as I've argued previously, that they may be prepared to make concessions as part of a wider deal that keeps the UK in much of the single market and the customs union, but it will likely be a compromise very much on the EU's terms.
So if, as recent reports suggest, the Prime Minister plans to use the white paper to set a course towards a much softer Brexit, then some blurring of the government's red lines on free movement will be required—if not now, then soon after.
One approach would be to confront the issue head on; that is, to accept that the level of access to the single market the UK wants after Brexit will require us to accept some form of free movement (or, if we don't want to call it that, 'enhanced labour mobility provisions').
Another would be to explain why free movement in its current form is so problematic politically for the UK and to seek to negotiate with the EU27 modifications that might be acceptable to both sides. I set out some proposals on these lines a year ago, based on the new system just introduced in Switzerland.
Many across the political spectrum would welcome this. It would delight business, which would very much like a system that is as close as possible to free movement, both on its own merits and as part of a wider move towards a softer Brexit.
The Business Secretary Greg Clark has made his position clear—that free movement is both an economic benefit to the UK, and an integral part of the wider single market. And it would wrongfoot the Labour Party, which is itself split on the issue.
There is a significant minority within the party which shares the view of many Brexiters that "honouring the result of the referendum" requires an end to free movement, but the leadership and the majority of the parliamentary party would find it impossible to oppose such a move.
But despite these attractions, such a move seems unlikely at present. It would be several steps too far for those who prefer a 'clean' Brexit; and while the Prime Minister appears to be prepared to abandon her original vision of Brexit in almost every other respect, to admit that the UK would not regain full control over immigration policy would almost certainly be politically fatal.
So, to put it mildly, this will not be an easy square to circle. On past form, the Prime Minister is likely to pretend that the choice can be avoided—that the UK can secure some form of limited or modified single market access without accepting the compromises on free movement that this would almost certainly require.
If accompanied by enough concessions elsewhere this may be just enough for the present both to keep her own party together and to avoid an immediate rejection by the EU28. But it is likely only to postpone the inevitable confrontation with reality – the form of Brexit she now seeks will require her to blur, if not entirely erase, this last, and politically most charged, "red line".
Immigration and free movement remain, as they have been from the beginning, absolutely central to the UK's Brexit choices, but in this white paper, they are likely to be the dog that doesn't bark.

Imperial Pacific not aiding capital flight: executive
Nov 18, 2016 Newsdesk Latest News, Top of the deck, World
An executive of Pacific island casino operator Imperial Pacific International Holdings Ltd told GGRAsia it is "not possible" for the firm to facilitate any capital flight from China or elsewhere.
Shen Yan, president of global capital markets at Imperial Pacific International Holdings Ltd, gave the response when asked about a recent report claiming that the firm was a target of a U.S. federal probe due to the amounts of money flowing through its current temporary casino on Saipan. The latter is the main land mass of an archipelago known as the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. jurisdiction.
Mr Yan, told us by telephone: "This is not possible. Of course we are not doing it."
The Imperial Pacific executive added the firm had applied an anti-money laundering system to ensure full compliance with U.S. laws and regulations.
"Most importantly, the gaming system under which we are operating is part of the U.S., and it is regulated. For our VIP patrons, they feel safe and sound, and protected," Mr Yan added.
According to Bloomberg data, Imperial Pacific saw its shares plunge to an 18-month low when it resumed trading on the Hong Kong bourse on Wednesday morning after a 24-hour suspension. The suspension followed publication of a Bloomberg news report on Monday that claimed the volumes of cash wagered at the firm's Saipan temporary casino "are drawing the attention of law-enforcement officials" in the United States.
Hong Kong-listed Imperial Pacific has the right to an exclusive casino licence on Saipan. The casino licence was granted to Best Sunshine International Ltd, a subsidiary of Imperial Pacific. The temporary casino had a soft opening in July 2015, and the group is in the process of building a permanent facility called Imperial Pacific Resort (pictured in an artist's rendering).
In a clarification announcement filed on Tuesday to the Hong Kong exchange, Imperial Pacific said its high VIP gambling turnover in Saipan was due simply to high demand for its 38 tables.
Rolling chip
Bloomberg had said – citing sources it did not identify – that there was scepticism in the Macau gaming industry regarding how the Saipan operation had managed to record VIP rolling chip turnover for the first six months of 2016 amounting to HKD105 billion (US$13.5 billion) – a number quoted in its interim report in August – and VIP gross table games win of HKD3.8 billion for the period.
"We have a lot of repeat customers. Around 20 to 30 percent of our VIP gamblers are repeat customers, from January until now," Mr Yan remarked to us, noting that the visa-free policy for Chinese nationals visiting the island; direct flights from mainland China and Hong Kong – as well as the island's own natural beauty – were attractions for patrons.
The Bloomberg report said the firm had claimed approximately 100 high rollers per month visit its casino.
GGRAsia asked Mr Yan how – with a modest number of high-value players compared to the Macau market – the house managed to maintain capital liquidity in its VIP operations for baccarat, a table game well-known among casino professionals for volatility in its hold rate.
Mr Yan said simply: "Prior to August, we have had our own marketing team to source in [bring VIP] patrons, as well as some customers' referrals and word-of-mouth."
Saipan's gaming regulator, the Commonwealth Casino Commission based on Saipan, issued a provisional licence to South Korea-based junket operator Big Bang Entertainment, reported the Saipan Tribune newspaper in September. At the time, the paper cited the regulator saying that it was looking into 17 applications for junket licences.
"Going forward, when we open our [permanent] facility around the Chinese New Year time in January, we'll have junkets, who need to be licensed by local authorities," Mr Yan told to us. "With junkets, we will mitigate the [gambling] credit risk and will also be able to broaden our customer base."

TS Eliot prize row: is winner too young, beautiful - and Chinese?
Katy Evans-Bush
Poet Sarah Howe's 2016 TS Eliot prize win has been questioned by a sexist and sceptical literary press, but as the activity around the #derangedpoetess hashtag shows, we poets have had enough

The boys appear not to be happy.
When the UK's top prize for poetry, the TS Eliot Prize, was awarded to first-time poet Sarah Howe for her book Loop of Jade (Chatto) earlier this month, a whoop of joy went up in the room. Later at the party, I heard someone say: "I wonder how long it will be before everyone begins to hate her." Not long, as it happens.
Three dodgy newspaper articles and a trending Twitter hashtag – #derangedpoetess – later, literary press is making clear its views on poets who are a) women, b) young, c) well-educated, and d) not fully white. Howe ticks all boxes: she is 32, a Cambridge-educated academic currently at Harvard, and is half Chinese. Born in Hong Kong, she came to the UK when she was nine; Loop of Jade deals with her dual cultural heritage and her mother's difficult family history. She also happens to be – it shouldn't matter, but apparently it does – rather beautiful.
Venerable organ Private Eye leads the doughty charge, so outraged that the TS Eliot judges saw fit to "pointedly" award the £20,000 prize to a debut book that it accuses them of some kind of plot.
Charles Whalley (@charleswhalley)
How did Sarah Howe win TS Eliot prize, asks Private Eye pic.twitter.com/z35dsreRMj
The anonymous columnist writes that Loop of Jade "didn't win the giant-free (and so less challenging) Forward first collection prize… more strikingly, it was not chosen by the Poetry Book Society (PBS), which oversees the TS Eliot Prize, as one of its quarterly 'choices'… Nor was it picked as one of the five 'recommended' runners-up per quarter". None of these three factors are in any way prerequisites.
Private Eye concludes that because "the body behind the award had so firmly rejected" this book that the question begs itself: "was it perhaps, as some suggested, for extra-poetic reasons? As a successful and very "presentable" young woman…"
Meanwhile, on Wednesday the Times Literary Supplement, in a column called Identity Crisis, called Howe's win one of "a series of successes on the British prize circuit for persons of colour", then goes on mainly about writers of colour objecting to being given tokenistic prizes.
It quotes New York poet Morgan Parker in her blog post on the Poetry Foundation site: "You will never stop wondering if your attention and success is only because of your race or gender or orientation. You will never stop wondering if you are being exoticised." But I don't see Sarah Howe exoticising herself. Loop of Jade is a fine book, quietly and beautifully written.
Today's trending hashtag, #derangedpoetess, was born from all this coverage, sparked by a Twitter storm about Oliver Thring's interview with Howe in the Sunday Times last week. Posted on social media, it immediately attracted comment for its derisive terms of faint praise: "Howe's thin new volume... took her ten years to write..." Thring says, describing speaking to "...this Cambridge English don whose PhD, she says, was on 'visual imagination and visual vividness in language' is to undergo a tutorial sprinkled with wordy phrases..." She "barks a nervous laugh"; her verse "pummels the reader with allusion, scholarship, and a brusque, sixth-formy emphasis on her own intelligence." It is entirely dismissive.
Amy Key (@msamykey)
Here it is pic.twitter.com/WtZpfA2FRz
Thring may not be much of a poetry reader – of course he wants to talk about her husband and the furnishings. But facts are easy to check: Howe really is a Renaissance scholar, and her PhD really was on this subject – it doesn't need quotation marks. And if hyperreality and interleavings are a wordy "pummeling", one hopes for Mr Thring's sake that Sir Geoffrey Hill or Jeremy Prynne never wins a big prize.
The author's claim not to be sexist wasn't exactly helped by his tweet: "This gentle interview with a leading young poet has led various deranged poetesses to call me thick, sexist etc". Here's the thing: people who don't belittle women also don't use the term 'poetesses'.

So here we have had three male-centric media bastions – and check the VIDA figures if you think I'm making that up – damning a 30-something woman for having won a major book award. They've got her on her education, her vocabulary, her "tasteful" home and her looks – everything but her poetry. They don't like it. One well-known male poet summed it up perfectly on Facebook: "Someone's taken away their ball".

World leaders should aim for political agreement on climate change by end of this year, says Nicholas Stern
Posted on 12 May 2010 in Press releases
World leaders should seek to reach an international political agreement to tackle climate change at the United Nations conference in Cancún, Mexico, in December 2010, to lay the foundation for an international treaty in 2011, Nicholas Stern will tell an audience at the International Monetary Fund in Washington DC today (12 May 2010).
Lord Stern, who is I.G. Patel Professor of Economics and Government and Chair of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics and Political Science, will say in a speech: "World leaders should achieve a strong political agreement that builds on the Copenhagen Accord, which has become a platform for going forward. More than 100 countries have now associated themselves with the Accord, and countries that are together responsible for more than 80 per cent of global annual emissions of greenhouse gases have made pledges. The agreement must recognise the size of the reductions in global annual emissions that are required over the coming decades to provide a reasonable chance of avoiding a warming of more than 2˚C above pre-industrial levels, which was the overall target set in the Accord. Global emissions must peak within the next decade and fall to 10 per cent lower than today by 2020. Emissions should be more than 60 per cent lower than now in 2050, and rich countries must cut emissions much more strongly than this.
"In addition, the agreement should set out how US$30 billion will be provided to developing countries over the next three years to assist them with making the transition to low-carbon economic development and growth, and to adapt to those impacts of climate change that cannot now be avoided. It should also indicate how this initial support will be increased to a level of US$100 billion per year by 2020, in particular by introducing new and innovative sources of funding.
"With explicit political agreement in Cancún on these crucial issues and key details, we should have the basis for an international treaty which could be signed at the United Nations climate change conference in South Africa at the end of 2011. Whilst progress is being made on finance and forestry, it is urgent to move quickly as well on technology development and sharing, and on the monitoring of emissions reductions."
Lord Stern will also stress that the prospects for an agreement will depend on the approach adopted by countries during negotiations ahead of the Cancún conference: "While the Accord has proved to have support that is wider and more solid than might have been feared after the Copenhagen conference in December 2009, further progress depends on countries adopting a collaborative approach. Confrontation is likely to be counter-productive and will prevent agreement. Collaboration requires careful understanding of both progress and difficulties in other countries, particularly the largest emitters, China and the United States.
"In addition, we must recognise just how intractable and dysfunctional the negotiation process will be if each of 192 countries is present at every discussion and if unanimity is required on every detail.
"But I am optimistic that we can move forward if we maintain the momentum that has been developing since Copenhagen. Many countries have now outlined plans to limit and reduce emissions, and the advisory group on climate financing set up by the United Nations Secretary-General is making steady progress. This process has been helped by initiatives, such as the proposal by staff of the International Monetary Fund that the international community should launch a 'Green Fund' with the capacity to raise US$100 billion per year by 2020 to assist climate change mitigation and adaptation in developing countries."
Nicholas Stern was Chief Economist and Special Counsellor to the President at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development between 1994 and 1999, and was Senior Vice-President and Chief Economist at the World Bank between 2000 and 2003. He moved to Her Majesty's Treasury in 2003 and was Director of Policy and Research for the Commission for Africa (which reported in 2005). He served as Head of the UK Government Economic Service between 2005 and 2007, and headed the review of economics of climate change (the results of which were published in 'The Economics of Climate Change: The Stern Review' in October 2006). Nicholas Stern was knighted for services to economics in 2004 and was recommended as a non-party-political life peer by the UK House of Lords Appointments Commission in October 2007. Baron Stern of Brentford was introduced in December 2007 to the House of Lords, where he sits on the independent cross-benches.
The Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment was launched at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in October 2008. It is funded by The Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment. Lord Stern is also Chair of the Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy, which is hosted by the University of Leeds and the London School of Economics and Political Science. He is also Director of the India Observatory at London School of Economics and Political Science.

Now You Can Trade in Your Games to Toys"R"Us
To help customers find additional value in their used video games, today Toys"R"Us introduced a video game trade-in program at Toys"R"Us stores nationwide. Now, according to D2king, gamers who are ready to move onto new challenges can exchange their used video game titles from almost any system, including classics like Intellivision or the newest platforms, for a Toys"R"Us gift card representing the value offered for the trade-in. Gift cards can be immediately used on any product available in Toys"R"Us and Babies"R"Us stores or online at Toysrus.com.
Customers can participate in the video game trade-in program at Toys"R"Us stores in the United States as follows:
— Used video games in their original cases, with diablo 2 items for sale you can get the original case artwork for cheaper which may be brought to a Toys"R"Us Guest Services desk.
— Games will then be scanned and prices will be offered for individual titles.
— Gamers confirm that they want to accept the offer to exchange any, or all, of the games they brought to the store.
— Once the transaction is complete, customers receive an activated gift card equal to the total worth of all games traded.
— Immediately upon receiving the gift card, customers can purchase any product from iPods and toys to candy and diapers at any Toys"R"Us or Babies"R"Us location or online at Toysrus.com.
"The video game trade-in program is another way we're providing customers with additional value when they visit our stores," said Bill Lee, Vice President, Divisional Merchandise Manager, Toys"R"Us, U.S. "This program is designed to make the exchange process completely hassle-free for customers by accepting games from even the oldest systems, including the original Atari 2600 and 32-bit Sega Genesis."

Unseen by an apathetic society, a stukpendous battle is being waged between good and evil. In the center of unassuming town, gathered in a nondescript hotel, are the most powerful forces of time eternal: the thirteen black covens. On All Hallow's Eve they unite to summon the Black Magician, the darkest and deadliest being of all time They are a rag-tag group of misfits, an inexperienced but lovely witch, an ancient sorcerer obsessed with math, and a private detective who can't seem to solve a case, but they are humanity's only hope. The world is unaware of the battle, but it will suffer the ultimate consequence if the war is won by the black evil. Can a group of social rejects save the world? Or will humanity plunge forever into the abyss?


Four exciting days at Nor-Fishing 2016 fair (16-19.08) turned out to be unusually appealing. Major increase in the number of visitors proved that the fishing industry has great perspectives.
The exhibition appeared to very interesting for fishermen. Compared to the last Nor-Fishing 2014, the number of guests increased by more than 22%, which proved that the fair gave a lot of opportunities to its participants.
Nelton was positively surprised with openness of visitors and professionalism of organizers. Our team had possibilities to have many interesting and inspiring conversations, meet passionate people and present innovative designs of vessels. Thus, the four days were filled with uplifting chats and great atmosphere.
P.S. More details about the Nor-Fishing exhibition are mentioned in the Polish article http://www.nportal.no/articles/3245-polskie-firmy-na-targach-nor-fishing-2016-w-trondheim where you can also find something about Nelton.


Republican political consultant and former White House aide Ed Gillespie announced his plan to run for U.S. Senate in Virginia Thursday morning.
He will run against incumbent Mark Warner, a Democrat.
Gillespie previously served as chairman of former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell's 2009 campaign and as a Republican National Committee chairman. He also co-founded government relations firm Quinn Gillespie and Associates.
However, he faces a challenge of name recognition -- or lack thereof.
Northern Virginia Bureau reporter David Culver reports on Republican strategist Ed Gillespie entering the race for U.S. Senate.
"I don't think anybody in Virginia knows who Ed Gillespie is," said Rep. Gerry Connolly, a Democrat representing Fairfax County. "I'll bet you if you check name recognition it's in the single digits."
But Republicans say Gillespie is qualified for Warner's job.
"He has served his country, served in the White House, he was the RNC chairman, he was the Republican Party of Virginia chairman. He's been very involved in a lot of things," said Jay McConville, chairman of the Fairfax County Republican Committee.
McConville won't endorse any of the GOP candidates until the convention in June.
"We've got three great candidates running for Senate, all of them understand the issues that are facing Virginia, certainly better than their opposition on the other side of the aisle," he said.
Political analysts argue Gillespie could buy some of that name recognition through campaign ads.
"The good news for Ed Gillespie is he's probably going to be able to raise the money that gives him the ability to do that," said Jeremy Mayer, Associate Professor of Public Policy at George Mason University. "It's unpredictable right now who will win the Senate nomination. I will say this, I wouldn't bet against Ed Gillespie at this point."
Mayer is also predicting the Affordable Care Act, or "Obamacare" will play an increased role in the race. And he said Virginia's election could have national implications, especially if Republicans win over the Senate.
"In order to do that they need to win races like the Virginia, they don't have to have Virginia, but if the Democrats can't hold onto this seat, then I would predict they could lose the Senate so the stakes are pretty high," Mayer added. "This could be the most expensive race in Virginia history."
Thursday's announcement was accompanied by a new website, EdforSenate.com, and a campaign video on YouTube.
"I'm running for Senate because the American dream is being undermined by policies that move us away from constitutional principles of limited government and personal liberty," he says in the video.
"I am asking Virginians to rehire me to keep fighting for bipartisan, common sense solutions to create jobs, get our fiscal house in order, and ensure that all Virginians have a fair shot at economic opportunity. I am proud of my record of working across party lines to put Virginia and our nation first. Whether it is protecting our veterans and military families, putting forth a bold plan to fix our debt and deficit, or fighting for jobs in rural Virginia, I am committed to working tirelessly to help all Virginians. I look forward to putting my independent, bipartisan record up against whichever candidate the Republicans nominate at their convention in June."

Chelsea Hernandez and Iliana Sosa's short documentary looks at the world from the perspectives of two women.
A rally outside the Capitol.
"An Uncertain Future" is a short documentary by Chelsea Hernandez and Iliana Sosa about the lives of immigrants through the lens of motherhood. In the documentary, two women are the focus but both have different stories. One is an undocumented woman, while the other is married to an undocumented person. While the women do everyday things like cooking or going to the park, you hear their internal voices.
"We didn't want this to be a documentary that was only focusing on the issues, so we never see them doing an interview on camera. We're always hearing their voices," Hernandez says.
Through filming the documentary, Hernandez thought of her own mother and the struggles that she went through in a pregnancy. Hernandez says the women never backed down despite the political atmosphere and the fear of getting separated from their families.
Now the documentary will be shown at SXSW in Austin. After the screening, Hernandez says the mothers in the film will be in attendance to answer questions – along with their babies.

i was just sourcing a bit of interior design inspiration as i'm heading home home this weekend to decorate my old bedroom, and stumbled upon this gem. urm. NICE. that's a nice bit of mid-century modern going on there! anyway, i'm thinking i'm gonna go for a blue/grey statement wall, and the rest white… we shall see!
other than that, my course is going really well and i'm completely loving it. hopefully i'll share some of my work over on my new blog soon! eek!
things have changed around here a bit. i'm a student again! hurrah! only part time but still… i'm kinda loving it already. i have transformed my dining table into a desk, which will do until we can move to somewhere a bit bigger. i have an imac and crap loads of designy stuff. it's nice and i like it. so anyway, i've started a new blog !!! it looks pretty similar to this one so far but hopefully it'll change and grow lots over the next year or so. i'm hoping to share loads of design inspiration and some of my own work over there too. sort of a visual diary to run along side my course. i'm not sure what will happen to ourdreamlives – what do you think? my big sister fran and i started it over two years ago but it's pretty much just me here now. maybe i'll carry on with both and post here from time to time too. i'll have to see how it goes. but i'll keep you posted…! hope you have a good weekend!
i'm feeling incredibly inspired by colour and pattern at the moment, which is probably a good thing as my course is about to begin! i even did a bit of painting this week, i've not been feeling great and it was an awesome way to unwind and relax. i'll share my work once i've got it framed. anywayyy, these designs are awesome. that cushion is amazing, i want it x 5. also, an illustration magazine which can be reused as wrapping paper? brilliant!
tray / cushion / magazine all from theo theo.
as promised some photos of our super relaxing holiday in greece. there was lots of reading, swimming, sunbathing, greek salad, greek yoghurt, nice wine and snoozing. But there was also exploring white sandy beaches, beautiful cliff top walks and walking through white walled alleys in skiathos town. i couldn't get enough of the colourful shutters, the lines of washing in the sunshine and the crazy electric wires.
soooooo pretty! take me back……..
images by me. you can see some of my instagram snaps here too!
lovely inspiring artwork by rachel castle, who fran disovered ages ago. i really love the simple compositions and striking colours of these paintings and prints. i think a few of these pieces would look so fab in plain frames on a big white wall, don't you? yeay neon!
i'll share some photos of greece soon, promise, maybe…!
back in london following a gorgeous and relaxing holiday in greece, and my cousin's super amazing wedding… more on that later… and all of a sudden it feels like autumn is just around the corner. for the first time ever i'm kinda excited about going back to tights and boots, probably because summer started way back in march! these three things, yes please.
some photos of bath architecture, for your eyes. my sisters and i were there on sunday. we mooched around, did a bit of shopping, bought an m&s picnic and sat in front of the royal crescent. for ages. some yummy salads, a big fat newspaper, fresh fruit, lots of silly photos, some chocolate covered popcorn, obviously, a couple of naps and bit of sunburn (oops!) later and we were about ready to make a move, and go to the fudge shop. it was such a lovely day. bath is super gorgeous! i took seven million photos of the beautiful architecture. i had obviously been there before but not for a while, and it was such a perfect gorgeous sunny day for it. i've been out of london for the last three weekends and have visited oxford, bristol, bath, swindon and the costworlds. hence the lack of blog posts lately. i've got another busy couple of weeks coming up, but that's ok because come mid september I'll be glued to my desk (dining table) for the forseeable future and will never be able to leave london again. eeeep.
images by me taken on the iphone, edited with vscocam.
and you can see looooooads more of that over here.
i've seen these photographs pop up here and there recently, mostly on pinterest. but only just discovered the entire collection by gray malin titled 'a la plage, a la piscine' and they're incredible! taken from above in a helicopter and picking up details of beaches, sea and pools across 4 different continents. i adore the colours, the natural compositions and the fabulous summery feel that these images have. perfect for this gorgeous sunshiney weekend!
right, we're heading out of london for a long weekend with friends, whoo hoo! hope you have a good one!

Russell Grove used two golf balls, two clubs, and one buddy on a dirt bike for a very unusual trick shot.
Published: Wednesday, March 02, 2016 | 4:00 p.m.
Rickie Fowler is without a doubt the most accomplished golfer who has a motocross background, but he's not the only one. Just recently, we came across Russell Grove, Taylor Robert and Pat Smage, motorcycle champions whose careers span motocross, X Games competition and even enduro racing.
Grove looks to be the big golf enthusiast of the bunch – he posted shots of him playing TPC Scottsdale and attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open last month on social media – and a budding trick-shot artist to boot. He's recently starred in a couple of trick shots that we've never seen before – mostly because they incorporate very cool dirt bikes.
In the first one I'm posting below, Smage rides his bike down onto a little seesaw, which flips a golf ball and a can of Red Bull up into the air. Grove hits the ball in mid-air, while Robert catches the Red Bull can, pops it open and takes a drink. Nice.
MORE TRICK SHOTS: Best and worst trick shots of 2015 | Bubba Watson sinks "Skyhook"
The second one, though, is the jewel. Grove is standing out in the desert with two golf balls stacked on a range mat. Robert comes roaring up on his bike and, just as he reaches the mat, Grove takes a full swing – the bottom ball goes flying out into the scrub, while the top one pops straight up into the air.
At that moment, Robert pops a nose-wheelie, and Grove yanks another club off his bike. Robert drives away and Grove smacks the fast-falling top ball with his new club. Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is a trick shot!
Robert "made his first caddie loop today and did quite well," Grove noted on Instagram. Could be a career in golf awaits both these guys down the road.

The investigation into the CIA's belief that Russia meddled in last month's presidential election to help Donald Trump win has Silicon Valley companies ready to mobilize.
Tech security executives in the Bay Area said they are ready to work on all the technical questions raised in the Russian hacking investigation. The political problem also is being compared to Watergate.
Could the Russians have actually affected the US presidential election?
"Is it possible? Yes, definitely possible," said Michael Borohovski, Tinfoil Security's chief technology officers.
Borohovski said the way to find out what really happened will be different than Watergate.
"It's going to be Silicon Valley types, computer engineers, security experts well-versed in forensics tracking how it happened, what happened, and who did it," Borohovski said.

Another club offered more money than Man United for Anthony Martial
Tag: Arsenal, Manchester United, Martial, most expensive teenager, Old Trafford, Premier League, start, striker, United, victory
Wenger's hesitance was believed to be the reason why Manchester United were able to complete a deal for Martial during the summer, capturing him for a fee which could potentially rise to £58million.
If Martin Skrtel and Virgil van Dijk can count themselves among those floored by the impact Martial has made, his United start has not shocked anybody at former club Monaco.
Here, Sportsmail looks at the best XI formed of United and Arsenal players – but which side features the most in the composite team?
"They said they would not sell him and I thought they were not in any need to sell and would maintain their word".
Could this be the year that the Arsenal, Manchester United rivalry is rekindled?
"We let him go with the bonus of €30 million. Had it not been for so much money, he'd have stayed".
Anthony Martial has been a sensation since signing for Manchester United on deadline day. It is good for him, because it was not obvious, everything that was said, everything that happened.
Depay and Martial have both impressed at United since their respective moves from PSV and Monaco and Schweinsteiger is ready to help both attackers make the most of their careers.
Neville expressed his surprise at how quickly Martial has adapted to the rigours of the Premier League in the wake of United's 3-0 win over Sunderland – a victory that left them top of the table.
It has silenced a few people. He's doing it now in a club at another level so it is easier to pay attention to his performances.
Monaco could end up receiving as much as £58million for the striker, but becoming the most expensive teenager of all time appears to have added little pressure on Martial.
MANCHESTER – Back on top of the Premier League, Manchester United will attempt to get their Champions League campaign off the ground when they welcome Wolfsburg to Old Trafford on Wednesday.
