Press Release: West Dean College of Arts and Conservation launch new series of Professional Development Courses devoted to object and materials conservation
School of Conservation - Posted on 27th May 2021
OBJECT AND MATERIALS CONSERVATION
West Dean College of Arts and Conservation in West Sussex has launched a new series of Professional Development courses devoted to Object and Materials Conservation (OMC courses). The first course, Housekeeping and Dust with Helen Lloyd on Tuesday, June 8, 2021 between 9am – 3.15pm, offers participants the chance to learn about the properties of dust and its impact on historic collections. Students will explore how rates of dust deposition inform housekeeping routines and learn practical methods for management of dust for preventive conservation and public benefit. The cost of the course is £157.
Helen Lloyd is both Consultancy Manager for National Specialists in Collections and Interpretation at the National Trust for England, Wales and Northern Ireland and, as one of those specialists, the Preventive Conservation Adviser - Housekeeping.
The yearly programme of OMC courses offers those working in museums, galleries and collections professional development opportunities to refresh skills and knowledge of materials and collection care techniques. Collaboration with relevant organisations and specialists has resulted in an outstanding range of expertise on each course. Some courses are practical and workshop-based while others are conference-style events.
Feedback from previous OMC courses shows that 100% of participants are likely to recommend the College (based on 2019 and 2020 student survey).
Other OMC courses to be held at West Dean College of Arts and Conservation in 2021 include:
June 28 – July 1: Managing Environmental Monitoring with Phil Parkes (£510)
An in-depth look at strategies to understand and modify conditions to deliver optimum collections care. How to develop a collection management plan with targets for light, temperature and humidity, as well as monitoring of pests and pollution.
June 28- July 2: Conservation of Transport and Industrial Collections with Chris Knapp (£668)
The fundamental information needed for conservators involved with transport and industrial collections, including material conservation, preventive conservation, handling, storage and display and environmental monitoring and control.

Jacqui believes in a learning community where the school and families work together to improve learning outcomes for all children. But at the start of the year, her reality was that there were barriers preventing parents from becoming partners in their child's learning. The engagement opportunities she was offering weren't accessible to all families.
Using the Tasmanian Department of Education LIFT initiative, Conversation Cards, Jacqui started small with her school's kinder group. Conversation Cards are taken home by the student and are designed to build parents' confidence in supporting their child's literacy and numeracy development through a series of simple activities listed on the card.
Quickly Jacqui and her team realised the use of these cards was successful, and so after some minor tweaking they rolled the project out for the Grade 2 class, too.
After some time of using the Conversation Cards, and receiving funding to add extension activities to the cards, Jacqui and her colleagues realised they had no way of knowing if families were actually using the cards and doing the activities or not. They started inviting families to send in photos of their kids undertaking the activities and have had huge engagement!
In only 4 weeks (and 4 conversation cards), Jacqui has had fourteen families send in photos to her, showing the young people doing the Conversation Card activities at home.
Here are a couple of the comments from parents that accompanied the beautiful photos of kids continuing their learning at home..
By the time we saw Jacqui again for Workshop 3, Conversation Cards were being used across the school and learning partnerships between families and the school are now embedded in the community's culture.
Jacqui would love your support for Conversation Cards, or for you to start a similar program in your school, and she'd love to hear about any ideas you have or lend a hand where she can. Shoot an email to maddie@educationchangemakers.com if you want to get in touch with Jacqui and we can connect you. Feel free to cheer her on in the comments below as well.
Great idea. I'd love to see some examples of these conversation cards.

VIDEO: Police Investigating Footage Of Cop Fleeing, Leaving Woman At Gunpoint
Sandy MaloneJune 28, 2021
Chicago, IL – Chicago police have launched an internal investigation into a Ring doorbell video that showed a police officer retreating from an armed man but leaving a woman at gunpoint (video below).
The incident may have occurred at about 6 a.m. on June 22, based on the timestamp on the video that WBBM received.
The date matched a Chicago Police Department (CPD) SWAT callout near S. Oglesby Avenues and E. 69th Street in the South Shore neighborhood, but police have not confirmed that was the same incident, according to WBBM.
Police dispatcher audio records showed that prior to the SWAT incident, a mother called 911 and said someone in the home "pointed the gun at mother and father multiple times."
The video released by WBBM started after the incident began and showed a CPD officer standing on the landing of a staircase inside an apartment building as he talked to somebody inside the threshold of a door.
The video showed a woman in a pink dress scooted out of the doorway and got behind the police officer and stood there, but she made no attempt to flee to safety.
The conversation between the officer and another man was difficult to hear, but then all of a sudden the officer got louder, the video showed.
"Hey my man, my man," the officer ordered in the video. "Do not do that, my man."
The video showed the officer was holding his pistol in his right hand and backed out of the doorway and started down the stairs.
The woman who had been taking cover behind the officer did not follow him down the steps, the video showed.
Instead, she seemed undecided about where to go, went the opposite direction from the officer, and ended up on the opposite side of the landing on the same floor.
A man pointing a pistol in the direction of the woman walked out of the apartment and appeared to hold her at gunpoint, the video showed.
CPD would not confirm whether the video was the same as the SWAT incident, nor would they say what the conflict was or how it was resolved, WBBM reported.
However, the SWAT incident was resolved with no injuries, according to the police report.
The police department said the video was under investigation.

Q: Mean for a time period This is a bit of a tricky one. I have a dataset with data for a variable for N individuals for T years, and I have a dummy (new_regime) which takes value 1 if a new regime has started and is 0 otherwise.
individual|year|new_regime|variable
------------------------------------
   1        1       1         0.5
   1        2       0         0.78
   1        3       0         0.9
   1        4       0         0.76
   1        5       1         0.86

What I want is to be able to compute the mean for variable until the next realization of a new regime. Essentially I want to create something like:
individual|year|new_regime|variable|mean_variable|
--------------------------------------------------
   1        1       1         0.5        0.735
   1        2       0         0.78       0.735
   1        3       0         0.9        0.735
   1        4       0         0.76       0.735
   1        5       1         0.86

Also I should add some of the values for variable are NA such that:
individual|year|new_regime|variable|
------------------------------------
   2        1       1         0.5
   2        2       0         NA
   2        3       0         0.9
   2        4       0         0.76
   2        5       1         0.86

But in this case I would still like to figure out the mean of the existing observations such that:
individual|year|new_regime|variable|mean_variable|
-------------------------------------------------
   2        1       1         0.5        0.72
   2        2       0         NA         0.72
   2        3       0         0.9        0.72
   2        4       0         0.76       0.72

I don't even know where to begin with this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: You could try:
library(dplyr)

df %>%
  group_by(individual) %>%
  mutate(regime_idx = cumsum(new_regime)) %>%
  group_by(individual, regime_idx) %>% # or group_by(regime_idx, .add = TRUE)
  mutate(mean_variable = case_when(regime_idx == 1L ~ mean(variable, na.rm = TRUE))) %>% # or just mutate(mean_variable = mean(variable, na.rm = TRUE)) if you want output for all regimes
  ungroup %>%
  select(-regime_idx)

Output:
# A tibble: 10 × 5
   individual  year new_regime variable mean_variable
        <int> <int>      <int>    <dbl>         <dbl>
 1          1     1          1     0.5          0.735
 2          1     2          0     0.78         0.735
 3          1     3          0     0.9          0.735
 4          1     4          0     0.76         0.735
 5          1     5          1     0.86        NA
 6          2     1          1     0.5          0.72
 7          2     2          0    NA            0.72
 8          2     3          0     0.9          0.72
 9          2     4          0     0.76         0.72
10          2     5          1     0.86        NA

'Exploration has never been more important or urgent in human history.' PEN HADOW
Mark Middlemas
Pen Hadow is a world-class explorer focused on the Arctic Ocean. He is dedicated to the United Nations process enabling protection for the wildlife and ecosystem in the international waters around the North Pole. As a director of 90North (Ltd) he advocates the creation of conservation area status for the Arctic Ocean's international waters. We spoke to Pen about his life, his expeditions and his new purpose.
For those who don't know you what are you most well-known for?
I'm probably best known for making the first solo journey without resupply, and by the hardest route, to the North Pole – a feat that hasn't been repeated (and likely never will be due to the deterioration in sea-ice conditions due to climate change).
The feat took three attempts over 15 years to complete (1994, 1998 and 2003). On four separate occasions during the endeavour, The Times dedicated its front-page lead article and image to the unfolding story, with the British Library ranking the story of his arrival at the Pole (19 May, 2003) in the Top 100 of all time British newspaper front pages.
Why is exploration so important?
Adventure is important to the work of an explorer because it is this element of exploration that attracts media and public interest. Adventure creates the core narrative and content as the endeavour unfolds which an explorer can then work with to focus attention on the issue, whether social or environmental, that is being explored.
In a sense, adventure is about developing one's personal operating capacity by setting oneself goals that involve pushing back one's own imagined and realboundaries. So, in these terms, going solo to the North Pole was an ultimate expression of adventure as no one had pushed back the boundaries it presented.However, to my mind, exploration is more about pushing back universal, rather than personal, boundaries, and for the benefit of parties beyond oneself. It's about finding things out, often but not necessarily, from some of the most challenging environments, which are then communicated to third-party interested communitiesbecause the resulting findings, information and insights are relevant and of interest to these parties.
Exploration, and therefore the adventurous element it depends on, has never been more important or urgent in human history, if you accept that the natural world, upon which our own existence entirely depends, is showing signs of stress and failure. Why? Because, the more we can discover and communicate how the natural world's resources, processes and ecosystems work and inter-act, the better positioned the voting general public and consequently their governments will be to develop a sustainable relationship with the natural world – and therefore manage our disruptive, damaging and destructive impacts.
Pen Hadow on an expedition
How did your adventure with exploration start?
A series of influences over time created a powerful cocktail, the effect of which struck me one afternoon in 1988.
In my childhood I'd been looked after by Enid Wigley, who's first charge 50 years earlier had been Peter Scott, the only child of Captain Robert Falcon Scott (aka Scott of the Antarctic). In Scott's last letter to his wife, written as he lay dying in his tent with no hope of surviving, he asked that Kathleen "Get the boy interested in the natural world, there are some schools that see this as more interesting than competitive sport." In later life, Peter went on to set up the wildfowl centre atSlimbridge, the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, and the world's largest membership organisation for the protection of the natural world, the Worldwide Fund for Nature (aka WWF). He also became the TV first presenter about the natural world with his BBC programme, Look. After 26 years, he eventually handed the baton on … to the young David Attenborough!
Much of what Enid absorbed while living with the Scott family she inculcated me with, including the personalities and stories of Antarctic exploration who togetherwe referred to as the 'Antarctic Boys'.
Unknown to many is the physical (and probably mental) conditioning Enid had been instructed by Kathleen Scott to apply to Peter when aged three to eight years old, and half a century later by my father to apply to me. In the family we refer to it as the 'spartan period'. It involved us boys being 'sent out' for longer and longer periods with less and less clothing, notably during the autumn, winter and spring months. As I say, Enid reported that Peter embraced this process for five years – and me for only three years, as one day a friend of my mother's dropped round to our manse (Scottish rectory house) to find me with frost-nip spreading across my nose, ears and cheek. For my mother, this was the last straw, and she used it as grounds for agreeing the abandonment of this toughening-up process. To be fair, though, the winter weather of Glendevon in the Ochil Hills was rather more severe than the climate Peter had endured in southern England! What I would like to make clear here is that, extreme as this process may read to many, I have never felt my father to have been anything other than gentle, innovative, supportive and loving.
While this ingredient in the developing cocktail of influence in my later life, seemed innocuous enough, lying inactive for another twenty years, my father introduced new elements into the glass, by ensuring I knew all about the exploits of my forebears.
Notably, about Patrick Hadow, chairman for ten years of the Royal Chartered P&O Shipping Company; Douglas Hadow, who made the first ever ascent of the Matterhorn (1865); Patrick 'Frank' Hadow, who won the Wimbledon Men's Singles (1878), and is the only winner never to have dropped a set at Wimbledon; Walter Hadow, who played 97 first-class cricket matches, many alongside WG Grace, with a career highest score of 217 (later becoming HM Commissioner for Prisons for Scotland); Major-General Frederick Hadow; the linguist, Professor George Hadow, who taught Hebrew and oriental languages at the University of St Andrews; the pioneering chemist, Edward Hadow, who focused his studies on cyanide; Sir Henry Hadow, the leading educational reformer, who founded the world's first university musicology faculty at Oxford University; Grace Hadow, the founding principal of St Anne's College, Oxford, and Vice Chairman of the Women's Institute; Sir Michael Hadow, Sir Robert Hadow and Sir Gordon Hadow, the British diplomats; my grandfather, Commander Philip Hadow, who commanded HMS Ivanhoe; my great uncle who survived, having been bitten on the ankle by a king cobra while trekking in India, his leg amputated on-the-spot by his colleagues with the bleeding stump immediately cauterised in a camp fire (no anaesthetics involved); and my uncle, Major Gerald Hadow, who fought in the ferociously tough Korean War.
The story of the king cobra probably influenced my inclination to areas of the planet where no snakes could possibly turn up, hence the Arctic Ocean! So while I absolutely know my father never to have been remotely 'pushy', I have also realised how over time he was determined to arm me with the ambition and the strategies to achieve whatever I might choose to do. It all seemed to revolve around our family name and what it could mean to be a Hadow.
Aged 13, I made it my ambition to win the three athletic events I had entered for the school's sports day, setting three school records in the process. Aged 15 in 1977, I ran solo from Harrow-on-the-Hill to Marble Arch and back (about 21 miles) raising £101.08 for the Queen's Silver Jubilee Trust – a run that led to what went on to become the largest participation event in Harrow School's calendar with the boys raising in excess of £100,000 per year. Later at University College London (UCL) I led a coxed pair rowing adventure from Henley Bridge to Putney Bridge (52 miles over 12 hours) to raise funds for the re-birth of our Geography department's academic journal, The Bloomsbury Geographer'.
Soon after leaving university I started work as the youngest executive at the world-leading International Management Group (aka Mark McCormack's Sports Organisation). It was while there that I occasionally spent a lunch-break in the Royal Geographical Society's library just south of Hyde Park.
One day, I asked the librarian if he'd open up the rarely used Lowther Reading Room. So rarely in fact that it had the air of Miss Haversham's wedding breakfast room in Charles Dickens' Great Expectations. He kindly obliged, bringing upstairs with him the bunch of keys to open the brass-filigreed doors to the bookcases. I selected a book at random. It was an account, entitled My Life Among the Eskimo, of an obscure Arctic expedition led by the obscure German naturalist, Bernhard Adolph Hantzsch. I sat down and began to read. But I quickly realised the book had never been opened because the paper of alternate pages was continuous over the top to the next page making it impossible to read. So the librarian came back up with a razor blade and ceremoniously released the pages by cutting through the page tops. I sat down again … and was riveted by Hantzsch's extraordinary commitment to his ambitious expedition and research programme, made evident as he overcame what to most would have seemed insurmountable problems.
As I left the RGS, I realised something had changed. Something fundamental to my thought-processes … to my life. I'd just experienced a Damascene moment. For the first time in my 27-year life I knew exactly what I needed to do. As I walked back across Hyde Park, it occurred to me that my school-boy collection of books at home were all factual books about the natural world or books about adventure, from Willard Price to Wilbur Smith and from Francis Chichester to Ranulph Fiennes.
I handed in my resignation that afternoon … and have never looked back since that day when my imagined life of adventure became a reality that autumn afternoon.
Who have been the biggest influences in your exploration journey?
Well, most the most influential explorer was probably Captain Robert Falcon Scott and specifically his Terra Nova expedition (1910-13), given my childhood connection to his son, Peter Scott, through the governess we shared, albeit 50 years apart, Enid Wigley. As side from Capt Scott's story, Wigley also used to tell stories she'd picked up from the Scott family about Ernest Shackleton (Irish/British), Douglas Mawson (British/Australian) and Adrien de Gerlache (Belgian).
Another influential figure was my Geography teacher at primary school, Andrew Keith, who was also Head of Athletics. I remember him showing us some hand-drawn, ink-washed maps he had prepared of a South Sea island as part of his doctorate at Cambridge. My main fascination was how he had been able to translate the island's on-the-ground reality, that he had personally measured and observed, to something that gave so much information and with such clarity. His islandlooked like a brilliant emerald set in an aquamarine sea – and the image has always remained in my mind's eye.
Keith also became my running coach and introduced me to the ways and benefits of adhering to a rigorous training regime. His coaching led me to realise that most things in life are possible if one adheres to an appropriately-designed process whether it's to become a better leader, a better sportsman … or even to reach the North Pole. And realising it was just a process was a hugely important gift from Keith, because it made almost everything possible as long as I remained committed to the goal and the process it involved.
Of the 100-120 books of all shapes and sizes in my childhood bedroom bookcase, the books I still recall as being influential were: The Ladybird Book of Things to Make (Mia Richey); The Book of the British Countryside (AA 1973); The Book of British Birds (AA); Alone at Sea (Hannes Lindemann); Quest for Adventure (editor, Chris Bonington); The Lonely Sea & the Sky (Francis Chichester); A Fighting Chance (John Ridgway & Chay Blyth); Scott's Last Expedition, Vols I & II (arranged by Leonard Huxley); The Home of the Blizzard (Douglas Mawson); Fatu Hiva (Thor Heyerdahl); The Kon-Tiki Expedition: By Raft Across the South Seas (ThorHeyerdahl); Farthest North, Vols I & II (Fridtjof Nansen); To the Ends of the Earth, Transglobe Expedition 1979-82 (Ranulph Fiennes); The Worst Journey in the World (Apsley Cherry-Garrard) … and The Noose of Laurels (Wally Herbert).
Linked in some way to these pioneering and adventurous spirits was an interest in the phenomenon of flashes of inspiration, or Eureka moments; for example, in asequence in The Dam Busters (1955), when Guy Gibson (played by Richard Todd) realises in a flash of subconscious problem-solving, that the two spotlights overlapping to locate the performer on the otherwise darkened West End stage that he'd been taken to one night, could be applied to guide his bombers to the precise and very low altitude the aircraft needed to achieve before the 'bouncing bombs' could be released.
Another such Eureka moment was the serendipitous moment recounted in Simon Singh's book about the history of mathematics, Fermat's Last Theorem, when the book's central real-life character, Andrew Wiles, meets with a mathematician friend at a cafe. Wiles had devoted much of his professional life to proving the theoremagainst astonishingly high odds of success. In the cafe, in a general chat about the crux of the mathematical problem he was wrestling with, his friend offers a different, though generalised, perspective. In that moment, Wiles realises his friend has gifted him an insight that will lead to the key to his eventual breakthrough.
Ultimately, though, there is no doubt in mind that it is my father who has been the greatest influence in my becoming an explorer, though I do not recall him everusing the words North Pole, Arctic Ocean or polar regions!
Which other British explorers do you most admire & why?
Francis Chichester, the yachtsman and pilot, is one of two British adventurers I admire, the other being Wally Herbert, the polar explorer.
Francis Chichester because he excelled and innovated in two different operating environments – the ocean and the atmosphere. He was not an easy man to be around by all accounts, but that seems to come with the territory for many, if not most, of the world's leading adventurers and explorers. Alongside his courage was his brilliance as a navigator. He developed a new strategy for 'dead-reckoning' his position when flying his small deHavilland Gipsy Moth aircraft in a pioneering flightacross the Tasman Sea from New Zealand to Australia. During World War II he applied his expertise to provide the Royal Air Force with its standard navigation manual for pilots of single-seater fighter aircraft. And then, after becoming a world-class racing yachtsman, at the age of 66 he completed the first solo circumnavigation of the globe West to East (in 226 days).
And Wally Herbert primarily because he made the first traverse of the Arctic Ocean by the longest possible route from Point Barrow (Alaska) via the North Geographic Pole to landfall 15 months later on an island off northern Spitsbergen in 1969. During the course of his polar career, which spanned more than 50 years, he spent a cumulative 15 years in the wilderness regions of the Arctic and Antarctic, travelling with dog teams and open boats well over 23,000 miles – more than half of that distance through unexplored areas.
Herbert also had rare talent as a navigator, dog-handler, cartographer, writer and painter. Among his several books, which he illustrated, he also had solo exhibitions of his drawings and paintings in London and New York. After retiring from the field, he was commissioned by the National Geographic Society to review and re-assess Robert Peary's expedition records for his noted 1909 expedition. In The Noose of Laurels, Herbert concluded that Peary had falsified some records and had never reached the North Pole, although he believed Peary had been very close. Herbert's conclusions have been widely accepted.
I also respect modern-day traveller Alastair Humphries for his myriad endeavours around the world (including his literal cycling around-the-world expedition), but especially for his work promoting the concept of micro-adventures. This is because micro-adventures give everyone the key to having an adventure, even if it's only for a day and within a mile of home. The point is that all adventures by definition involve people engaging with, and pushing back, their personal boundaries and increasing their personal capacity, and feeling the psychological, emotional and often health benefits of such experiences. Frankly, it is also of fundamental national value in building a society's capacity to deal with risk in all its forms, and to build-up resilience to deal with challenging situations.
What was your 2017 Arctic Mission all about?
Arctic Mission's pilot programme in 2017 was intended to demonstrate how accessible to commercially-operated vessels the Central Arctic Ocean has become in the summertimes, due to the rapid melting of its sea-ice cover. Arctic Mission's vessels became the first to ever enter the Central Arctic Ocean's waters without icebreakers, eventually reaching as far as 80º 10' North. Arctic Mission also undertook scientific research to investigate the nature and state of the region's unique marine ecosystem.
The expedition took two 50-foot vessels sailing from Nome (Alaska), through the international Bering Strait and into the Chuchki Sea, one of the Arctic Ocean's marginal seas. Continuing north-east into the adjacent Beaufort Sea the two vessels sailed north beyond the USA's territorial waters and into the 'high seas' (aka international waters) of the Central Arctic Ocean.
Two invaluable and revelatory insights came out of Arctic Mission's first voyage of exploration in 2017, for me.
Firstly, that the Arctic Ocean's sea-ice cover, currently perceived as an essentially lifeless ocean-surface feature, urgently needs to be recognised as a unique floating ice-reef ecosystem upon which a complex web of plants and animals depend for their survival.
And secondly, that the observed loss of sea-ice is therefore not only a geophysical phenomenon with major earth system consequences but is also the observed loss of the floating ice-reef habitat, with major consequences for its dependent wildlife.
In Autumn 2017, as a result of intense international media coverage about Arctic Mission's story and research, images of plastic pollution recorded by Arctic Mission was used by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (Rhode Island) in a 'Save Our Seas Act' debate in the US Senate which helped to recover all the funding for the US National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) 'Marine Debris Research Programme'.
In March 2018, Arctic Mission's lead field scientist, Tim Gordon (University of Exeter, UK), was invited to speak at a break-out session of the World Ocean Summit (Mexico) entitled, 'Stories from the Frontline of Climate Change'. His presentation was so well received that he was immediately invited to address the summit's final plenary session, his speech receiving the rare accolade at such an event of a standing ovation.
The multi-strand marine research programme, led by Gordon, used state-of-the-art techniques including DNA sequencing, genomics, bio-informatics and passive-acoustic monitoring to study the entire food chain from microbes to whales. Such scientific evidence is crucial to inform policy-makers charged with securing a sustainable future for one of Earth's most vulnerable ecosystems.
En route an array of wildlife were observed from jellyfish and Arctic Cod to seabirds and walrus … and a mother polar bear with two first year cubs, accompanied by a fourth bear, possibly her offspring from the previous year. Interestingly, the thin strand of sea ice on which these four bears were drifting had ice-free waters for over 300 miles to the north and 200 miles to the south, raising the question whether this was a relatively normal or an unintended scenario … Meanwhile, no data exists on the number of polar bears on the Arctic Ocean.
In largely ice-free conditions, the voyage continued a further 300 miles north of the four bears in the Central Arctic Ocean to reach 80º 10' North before returning back to Nome.
What is 90North all about?
90North is about protecting the North Pole's wildlife and floating ice-reef ecosystem from disruptive, damaging and destructive vessel-based commercially-motivated activities. And, yes, it involves creating the world's largest marine protected area, equivalent in area to that of India. But at the highest level, it offers a unifying and universal symbol of the global community's commitment to creating a sustainable future for our planet.
90North's vision is the signing of an international agreement facilitated by the United Nations to create the highest possible level of marine protection for the wildlife and floating ice-reef ecosystem of the 2.8 million sq km Central Arctic Ocean surrounding the North Pole.
90North's objective is to provide the international leadership for this vision, and to help catalyse and accelerate the relevant international policy-making process.
Its strategy is:
to promote the need for heightened protection at relevant meetings & conferences
to facilitate the scientific research necessary to inform and develop the policy-making process
to stimulate the founding of an international collaborative network of interested organisations – non-governmental and governmental
to generate international public support for such protection
Significantly, 90North's objective is in alignment with Target 11 of the UN-supported Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) because the Central Arctic Ocean has been formally assessed by the CBD as an 'Ecologically or Biologically Significant Marine Area'.
More immediately, 90North's aspiration is to have its vision adopted as a flagship initiative within the IUCN and the UN's broader work to deliver the UN General Assembly's stated mission to secure formal protection for 30% of the world's seas by 2030.
*IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) is the global authority on the status of the natural world and the measures necessary to safeguard it. IUCN is the only organisation with official advisory status to the UN General Assembly on issues concerning the environment, specifically biodiversity, nature conservation and sustainable natural resource use.
Why is 90North so important?
The objective is important because the advisory body to the United Nations on all things to do with the protection of the natural world, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), is extremely concerned about the state of the world's oceans which most people to date have assumed to be 'too big to fail' (rather like all those banks around the world that failed in 2008). And the Arctic Ocean is the most vulnerable ocean ecosystem in the world. … And the work of 90 North is important because no other organisation is exclusively focused on protecting the endangered wildlife and ice-reef- ecosystem of the international waters of the Central Arctic Ocean surrounding the North Pole.
As seen from space, Earth is primarily a blue planet, hence the title of the BBC's recent break-through natural history documentary series about our oceans, with Antarctica's ice sheet and the Arctic Ocean's sea-ice cover providing the white colour around the Poles.
But global climate change is rapidly reducing the Arctic's sea-ice cover resulting in the northernmost white area becoming increasingly blue open ocean. Humankind's activities are literally changing the face of our planet as seen from outer space!
Unbeknown to most people, because so few have ever visited it, and even fewer have studied it, the sea-ice cover is actually a habitat supporting a diverse, abundant and unique array of plant and animal species. Species whose existence depends for all or part of their lifecycle on the presence of sea ice.
Will all the Arctic sea ice eventually melt – with it not to return even in the winters? On current projections, Yes. Possibly as soon as 2100. And what wildlife are we thinking of, exactly? The world's second largest animal, the Bowhead Whale, and the world's only seabed-feeding whale, the Gray Whale; seal species including Harbour, Ribbon, Bearded, Spotted, Hooded and Ringed; all three sub-species of Walrus; the world's largest dolphin, Orca; the spiral-toothed Narwhal (the source of the mythical unicorn); the most sophisticated communicator of whales, Beluga Whale; and the world's ultimate surface apex predator, Polar Bear. And these are just the mammals! But does creating a marine protected area ensure all the current species inhabiting the Arctic Ocean will survive? No!
So what is the point in creating a protected area. Well, the reality is it will become the refuge of last resort for many marine animal and plant species currently living further to the south, as they move north to find waters in which they can survive as their current waters become too hot due to global warming process. Whatever global warming does elsewhere, the Central Arctic Ocean will always provide the coolest waters in the world for species to make a last attempt at survival.Such refugia for species have already been observed in specific localities around the world in response to climate change.
So the international waters of the Central Arctic Ocean are likely to become a refugium for Arctic and sub-Arctic species – an 'Arctic Ark' offering a similar service toNoah's Ark. This is why the international community should prevent all disruptive, damaging and destructive human activities from ever even starting in the Central Arctic Ocean. It's the last chance saloon for a myriad species and likely as not, the human race, which depends on the planet's biodiversity and the health of the oceans for its oxygen, processing of waste, and fresh water.
Securing protection for this biologically critical region urgently needs someone to represent the unspoken and unheard voices of these species and present their case in the highest international policy-making circles. This is what Pen Hadow and 90North's ocean conservation team are doing.
What can businesses and their employees do to help 90North with the Arctic situation?
Businesses, for example those selling to the public or involved in bidding processes requiring evidence of progress towards sustainability, have found that reducing their environmental footprint is often the first necessary step.
However this tends to involve a range of relatively technical procedures and workaday changes in habits, which for those with public-facing brands and consumer-facing products, has proved largely difficult to communicate sufficiently effectively and interestingly that they can gain competitive advantage.
This is because essentially all that businesses and brands are doing is admitting to having a significant footprint, and then trying to reassure stakeholders they are working to reduce, minimise or eliminate this. Or, put another way, they are Doing Less Bad. While a necessary exercise, this is not facilitating positive messages.
So how can businesses and brands get on the front foot and Do More Good? Well, one simple way is to allocate resources in support of conservation organisations. And let your stakeholders know Why and How you are supporting such an organisation, and with What results. Yes, resources includes cash, but importantly it can also include a range of relevant in-house expertise, communications access to your stakeholder groups (including supply chains, customers and clients), and use ofyour facilities, equipment and events (including meeting rooms and conference speaker-slots) … and allowing employees to give an agreed amount of time each month to help a conservation charity, whether from their office desk or in the field. This can be a valuable extra resource to small but potentially potent conservation organisations.
And, yes, cash is king, but unrestricted donations, which conservation organisations can then use to fund their essential core operating costs (rather than only the specified projects and programmes cherry-picked or developed by a funding partner) is of even higher value than restricted funds.
You see, when the WWF was founded in 1961, environmental issues, problems and crises were relatively limited in number and scale … and even manageable (seemingly at the time). Many organisations since 1961 have been set up in response these problems, but there is no way these charities and non-governmental organisations can cope with the mushrooming number and scale of the challenges before them. I suspect at best we have naively assumed/hoped it's their job to sort out any problems the rest of us cause. Just as everyone knows every school needs a janitor to keep the infrastructure working so that everyone else can get on with their work (and everyone is content to pay the minimum amount and keep them out of sight of daily school operations), so the world's essential nature conservation bodies are minimally resourced and are rarely seen in action doing 'whatever it is they do'.
But now, with every year that passes, the nature, number and scale of environmental problems are multiplying at an alarming rate and it is preposterous to simply stand by and watch them try to tackle the conflagration we have created.
Why marketing teams cannot see the opportunity is a mystery to me. Huge budgets of relatively undifferentiated brands are poured into already brand-cluttered sports events, with prodigious sums required to achieve significant brand penetration.
Added to which, these funds have minimal social and environmental value, essentially funding the income for a few sports-people, sporting bodies and their executives and television networks. And frankly, some sports are embarrassing themselves trying to claim credit for their environmental credentials, the proposed Formula E being a case in point.
I can assure you there are vast swathes of opportunity in the environmental sector for savvy marketeers who are looking for brand differentiation, branddevelopment and brand personality … not to mention and reputational enhancement and resilience. And it can be built through an authentic relationship with anauthentic conservation organisation running an authentic campaign, programme or activity … that your stakeholders will respect and salute.
And I'm not just hypothesising or indulging in wishful thinking. I ran the environmental research and public engagement programme, Catlin Arctic Survey. It was sponsored by the global specialty insurance and reinsurance company, Catlin Group. It invested, sponsored and partnered Arctic Survey with £5 million (ofunrestricted funds). "Catlin Arctic Survey exceeded our wildest expectations." Stephen Catlin, CEO, Catlin Group reported.
Catlin Arctic Survey secured an independently-assessed event Advertising Value Equivalent of: £34 million in 2009; £25 million in 2010; and £30 million in 2011.
In 2009 alone it included: 90+ national TV news networks broadcast stories about Catlin Arctic Survey; 500+ newspaper and magazine titles printed stories; 1,000+ online sites reported on the Surveys; CNN, BBC World, BBC News, Al Jazeera and Channel 4 embedded journalist teams; numerous TV news features, each broadcast multiple times by their respective international platforms; and x4 10-30 minute international TV documentaries
In reality, Catlin Arctic Survey secured considerably in excess of the evaluated £89million media value and enabled substantial additional unmeasured value and benefits for its employees and other stakeholders. The event was also a European Sponsorship of the Year – Community finalist in 2009.
So, What can your business do to help 90North? I think you now know!
Do you have a favourite Arctic animal?
There are four Arctic animals that fascinate me: Arctic fox; Pomarine skua; Muskox; and Greenland shark.
The Arctic fox has a fascinating evolutionary trait to survive in its cold climate. The arteries and veins in its limbs are situated quite close to each other. Due to this, a continuous chain of heat transfer is established between the warmer blood in the arteries and the colder blood in the veins. The arterial blood loses heat to the blood returning to the heart, and thus it doesn't have much excess heat to lose in the paws.
But what is even more extraordinary is that Arctic fox defy one of their own disabilities to survive the winter months. Arctic fox are not swimmers, and certainly not long-distance ocean swimmers. And yet I have seen them and their tracks over a 1,000 kilometres from the nearest land because their best chance of survival is to use their acute sense of smell to trail the polar bears operating far offshore on the Arctic Ocean's sea-ice cover … until they find a seal carcass abandoned by a polar bear. But as climate change shrinks and thins their sea ice habitat, such an extreme adaptive behaviour will increase their risk to encountering un-swimmably wide stretches of open water back to terra firma.
And now, to the Pomarine skua? Well, it has evolved some specific skills that don't make for good reading before dinner-time! In zoological terms these 'survival skills' are referred to as klepto-parasitic! This large gull has learnt how to identify which other smaller gull species, such as Red-legged Kittiwakes, are holding swallowed fish in their gullets as they fly. The skua attacks the gullet's of these birds, forcing them to regurgitate their food – and the skua, knowing this is the likely outcome is ahead of the game and is already swooping below its victim to catch the vomit before it hits the ocean surface. Yum! I saw many such antics performed as we sailed into the Central Arctic Ocean with Arctic Mission in 2017.
The Muskox (of the sheep family) is always on my favourite animals list for two reasons. First, it has the rare distinction of being a surviving species from the last ice age when Woolly Mammoth, Wooly Rhinoceros, Cave bear, Cave lion, Cave Hyena, Sabre-toothed Cats and Aurochs (the ancestors of modern cattle) roamed the tundra. Why the Muskox survived and the others didn't, I've yet to find out.
The second reason is their two-layered coat, with 'Qiviut' being the soft underwool beneath their longer outer wool. The Muskox sheds this layer of wool each spring. Qiviut is stronger and warmer than sheep's wool, and softer than cashmere wool with its fibres only 18 micrometers in diameter (with females and young animals having even finer wool). And, unlike sheep's wool, it doesn't shrink in water at any temperature.
One of the saddest sights I've ever seen is a small herd of muskox on one of the Queen Elizabeth Islands in northern most Canada. They were all dead, their corpses in various states of decay. Their killer was a natural phenomenon. As they lay down on the tundra, chewing the cud, it had rained. And then a fast temperature drop had frozen their longer outer hairs to the ground, thereby pinning them down. Unable to free themselves from this multiple-day icy grip, they had died of thirst and starvation where they lay.
Which leaves us with the utterly extraordinary animal that is the Greenland shark. Are you ready for this, I wonder? Where to even start?
So, they grow approximately 1 centimetre each year till full-grown at 5-7 metres. The females are not able to breed until they are about 150 years old. Yes, 150 – that's not a typo. They are known to operate 2 kilometres below the sea surface in the Arctic regions where it is to all intents pitch dark – that's 500 metres deeper than the operational depth of nuclear submarines. Many are partially blind because a parasitic copepod (a worm-like creature) latches on to the shark's eye and destroys the corneal tissue. They are thought to hunt and kill seal while they sleep, either as they hang suspended at the sea surface, their nostrils able to breathe the air above, or on shallow seabeds where seal sometimes doze.
But its match-winning characteristic is that they are known to be the world's longest living vertebrate. Scientists currently assume a normal full lifespan to be approximately 272 years, with one known to be 390 years old. However eye tissue analysis and radio carbon-dating techniques have estimated they may live to as old as 512 years. If that were the case, there may be a Greenland shark swimming in Arctic seas today that was born while Henry VIII was the king of England!
And if forced to give my favourite … I'd probably say the Greenland shark for the physiological and behavioural adaptations it has made to be able to survive and thrive in the world's most extreme ocean habitat.

As well As managing a number of the chief facets of your WordPress website (something we are going to be covering in more detail below), also supplying you with everything you want to begin a new site, one of the principal selling points of the revolutionary service is access to one of the participating ThemeForest topics as part of your subscription payment.
Having a Single point of contact for domain name registration, site hosting, theme provision, and the managing of items such as website updates and copies sounds very convenient, but is this service worth your cash? And does it deliver the performance your website requirements?
Envato Aim to simplify the process of establishing a WordPress website with their new hosting service. Now, instead of registering a domain name with one company, purchasing a WordPress theme from a different, then signing up for a web hosting service elsewhere, and of course connecting those bits together, with Envato Hosted, you can access all these components through one single account, with one recurring monthly payment.
Not only That, however the Envato Hosted team will also take good care of site copies, core software upgrades and much more to help ensure your site is always running smoothly.
The Advantage of a one-stop shop for all your WordPress site needs does sound attractive. We'll pay the pricing details in greater detail later in this review, but at $19.99 per month, it's clear this is not cheap, entry-level hosting. So let us see what you get for your money.
The Envato Hosted theme installation and setup service is excellent for anybody who is either new to WordPress or short time. After a clean installation of WordPress has been completed, your theme of choice (from the available options) will be installed and activated on your new website.
If You currently have a WordPress website, you'll be pleased to know the Envato Hosted package comprises a migration of your website and its content to your new hosting account. It also includes optional domain name registration and configuration, and links your domain to your server room to make sure your site can be seen at your chosen URL.
Unfortunately, At the time of writing, only a small choice of WordPress topics were available as part of their Envato Hosted service. Hopefully, in the future, more theme authors will choose to opt in, but, for now, you may select from the best-selling, multipurpose Avada, Enfold, Bridge, Jupiter, and The7 themes, amongst others.
As Part of the hosting security measures, the Envato Hosted system engineers are proactive in scanning websites for malware and other issues, and DDoS protection can also be set up to keep your website online. If an issue is discovered, the support team will begin work resolving it, while also notifying you of the situation. This proactive strategy also applies to helping with hacked sites.
Considering It's not unheard of for some internet hosts to just take your site offline if they detect a possible security problem, it's good to see that your Envato Hosted team will get to work as soon as an issue is struck, while also keeping you in the loop as to what's happening.
Site Snapshots can also be taken nightly, and backups are stored for 30 days (and stored offsite in Amazon S3 storage for added safety). At the moment, if you want to restore a backup, you will need to open a ticket to ask the service team to perform this task. However, Envato Hosted expects to empower self-initiated backups and restores in the first quarter of 2017.
After You've signed up with Envato Hosted, you can contact the service team around the clock. Tickets can be opened from within your Envato hosting accounts dashboard, giving you a central location for managing your website and helpdesk correspondence.
Although Live chat has been considered for the long run, there is no phone support service, with email being the only means to get in touch with the team. Throughout the testing for this particular review, the Envato Hosted service team responded quickly to some tickets which were opened.
Once You have signed up using Envato Hosted, you will have the ability to log into your account dashboard. From the dashboard area, you can view your busy hosting plans, the details of your WordPress site, along with other important information.
Having Your selection from a selection of high-quality WordPress themes, as well as all of the other good features covered above, is great. But perhaps the most important reason to choose one web host over another is how fast they can serve your site to your customers.
This Guide explains why site speed is so essential. Suffice to say, if you want more visitors, a better consumer experience, and increased goal conversion prices, then you need to do everything you can to improve the rate of your WordPress site. With that in mind, let's look at the loading times we experienced while analyzing Envato Hosted for this review.
On Paper at least, Envato Hosted provides everything a brand new WordPress user could desire. Thus, let us find out how easy this support is to utilize in practice.
As This is a hands on Envato Hosted review, for testing purposes, we did register and launch a brand new WordPress website. Even though the time from beginning the signup process to being able to log into the new WordPress website was not instant, it just took about five seconds. But an important portion of the time was spent looking at a display wondering what exactly was going on.
There Were a few hiccups on the way, such as the links to the site and control panel which were sent over not yet being busy. This was probably because of domain name system (DNS) settings requiring a while to propagate, and the new URL being in the process of going live. But because there's no mention of these delays and potential issues during the installation process, it somewhat taints the suitability of Envato Hosted for inexperienced WordPress users.
In General, Though, getting started with Envato Hosted and launching a brand new WordPress website is relatively simple. You really can register a domain, select a theme, and select which demo to have set up, all through one signup procedure. But whilst everything did work, the registration procedure felt a little rough round the edges in comparison with that of Envato Hosted's competitors.
For the Sake of contrast, another test WordPress website, additionally using Avada and also the exact same Agency demo, took just more than a second longer to load a low-cost, back-end shared hosting account.
Pingdom is a popular monitoring service, and One of the best methods to measure the operation of a website. After registering with Envato Hosted, the Avada motif was installed along with the Agency demo website content erased.
As That the Avada Agency demo homepage involves a multimedia slider with movie content and other large documents, it had been determined that a standard page in the demo, composed of images and text, would yield more relevant results. Once the evaluation WordPress site was set up, Pingdom recorded the loading times of this internal blog article at 30-minute intervals.
After Monitoring website rate with Pingdom, the average load time over the past seven days for our WordPress site, hosted by Envato using the Avada theme and its Agency demonstration, was 2.96 seconds, with a YSlowperformance grade of B and 85/100. The loading times were recorded at regular intervals during the testing period.
Site Uptime was also tracked with Pingdom. During the testing, six cases of downtime were discovered, with the site inaccessible for 15 minutes in total. This resulted in an uptime of 99.85percent according to Pingdom. Even though the site returned to its available state without any intervention, the longest amount of downtime — as can be seen from the image below — was a slightly worrying nine minutes.
This Price also includes any qualifying WordPress motif from ThemeForest, including bestselling selections such as Avada, X Theme, and Enfold. Also included in the service is the setup of your chosen theme and its own presentation, as well as ongoing support for your site. Free migration of a current WordPress website to your new hosting account is also included.
As Mentioned, since the Envato Hosted support is completely managed, the team will take care of WordPress core upgrades, provide base-level safety, track your website for mistakes, and back up the site daily.
When it Comes to usage, your own $19.99 per month or $190 annually includes 100,000 monthly payments, 5GB of disk space, and 100GB of monthly bandwidth. These quotas are soft limits, and nothing automatic will occur should you go over them. Rather, if excess usage is detected, expect to be contacted by the service staff to discuss a solution which works for both parties. There are no overage fees in place at the moment.
However, Neither of those rival options comprises a premium ThemeForest WordPress motif and setup. The appeal of this Envato Hosted service is having everything in 1 location, under one account, including your domain name, hosting service, WordPress theme, and support staff.
You can Try Envato Hosted for free as part of a seven-day trial. You'll need to enter your payment details to begin, but the trial period is a good method to learn for yourself how the agency functions.
Components is a service out of Envato That aims to provide creators and makers having an ever-expanding library of digital resources for their own projects. If you'd like access to a large and expanding collection of videos, sound files, photos, graphics, illustrations, fonts, HTML templates, and WordPress themes and plugins, in addition to other content afterward Envato Elements might be exactly what you're searching for.
Furthermore, Envato Elements readers now get access to 1,200 video classes and eBooks from EnvatoTuts+. Thanks to this, you not only get access to nearly 1 million electronic resources but also the educational content that will help you work together effectively.
Inside This Envato Elements review, we will explore what this service offers, how it functions, and how much it costs to help you decide if this is a great alternative for your requirements.
Although Avada is among the most popular WordPress themes around, its abundance of features and performance could be overkill for some jobs. If your needs are more small and you'd love to understand how Envato Hosted plays a more nominal WordPress theme, we tested a website using the free Twenty Seventeen theme from the WordPress.org team.
Contrary to Avada, the free Twenty Seventeen theme doesn't contain or rely on any plugins. Consequently, this no frills WordPress theme gave Envato Hosted a fantastic chance to demonstrate how quickly it could deliver a website. With an average loading period of 335 milliseconds, and A grade performance over seven days of analyzing, Envato Hosted definitely has the capacity to rapidly serve a WordPress website to your audience.
Your Requirements and the final configuration of your site will likely sit somewhere between among those full-featured Avada demos and the minimum Twenty Seventeen theme. Your results will definitely vary from ours, but ours should provide you a rough idea of what to expect from Envato Hosted. Furthermore, using a seven-day free trial, you must have sufficient time to carry out speed testing of your site prior to making a final decision on Envato Hosted.
It's Also worth pointing out that although Envato Hosted does not prohibit the use of any specific plugins (like any other handled WordPress hosts), they do indicate avoiding caching plugins, even as Envato already employs server caching to all websites on their platform. However, while Envato Hosted doesn't yet preserve their own content delivery network (CDN), you are free to take advantage of a third party CDN of your own choice — another popular way to accelerate a WordPress site.
Testing The speed of a website and its own web host is not as straightforward as it may seem. Running a manual evaluation with a respectable service such as Pingdom or GTmetrix can produce wildly varying outcomes from 1 moment to another. To counteract this, for our evaluations, the superior Pingdom service was utilized to automatically record the rate of the evaluation site at 30-minute spans around the clock for seven days.
There Are so many elements that can impact the load times of your site, such as your choice of theme, which plugins you're using, which type of content you are publishing, just how many people are attempting to get your site at the same time, and where those visitors are located. However, these test results must provide you some notion of what to expect from Envato Hosted.
Envato Elements is A subscription service that provides you with access to over 900,000 downloadable digital assets for your projects. To keep things simple, Envato Elements provides just two pricing strategies — monthly and yearly — with both supporting unlimited downloads. As a result of a recent change to their own pricing model, both options (rather than only the annual plan) now include access to this 900+ WordPress themes and plugins available from Envato Elements.
Unlike some other Premium image and digital asset solutions, you won't have to be worried about credits and download limitations. This approach from Envato Elements is great since it gives you the capability to experiment with various documents before making a last decision on which one to use to your own project.
As you can see, Anyone generating visual content, and now audio content, is part of their Envato Elements target audience. If you have ever struggled to find the right featured picture for a blog article or you would like to accelerate your design workflow by starting with a template or utilizing activities and presets for your favorite applications, Envato Elements could help you out. Now that WordPress themes and plugins are also available within this service, anyone who owns a WordPress website or functions on this platform should also think about signing up with Envato Element.
As mentioned Earlier in this Envato Elements review, you do not must pay annually to access the 900+ WordPress themes and plugins (along with the other resources ) as it now does not matter whether you decide to pay monthly or yearly, you may download everything accessible from Envato Elements while your subscription is active.
Another good reason To consider joining Envato Element is you are able to cancel your subscription at any time and still retain the rights to use any things which you downloaded and registered throughout your time as a contributor. However, we are going to be covering the license details in more detail later on in this Envato Elements review.
WordPress users Will notice that there are currently WordPress themes and plugins available within Envato Elements. There is not the selection to match ThemeForest, the biggest WordPress theme market, or CodeCanyon, the plugin marketplace, both also possessed by Envato, but new items are being added on a regular basis. Royalty-free stock photos also have been inserted to Envato Elements with over 600,000 to choose from.
It's also worth Pointing out that during the process of composing this Envato Elements inspection more items were added to the library of assets. However, despite there being numerous things available, it is very easy to find what you're searching for. To help you narrow down your search for the right asset, many of the top-level groups are divided up further into sub-categories.

When it comes to User experience, Envato Elements retains matters incredibly simple. To help you decide whether to sign up using Envato Elements, then you can first browse the library at no cost.

Before Downloading the product, you will have to either register it to be used on a particular job or download it for trial use. The latter is the best alternative in the event that you just wish to take a better look at a product, before deciding to put it to use on a specific project. It is worth pointing out that when you've registered a product to be used on a specific job, you can continue to use the product even after you have ended your subscription.
When you've made a Option, a zip archive of these documents is downloaded into your computer. You can then extract the files in the archive file and open them with a compatible software program or service.

Having a JPG or PNG version of the advantage means you can instantly use it without having access to a particular software application.
If you do not Currently have access to the right tools, simply download a file, upload it into your WordPress blog and crop or scale it there before publishing it on your site. Obviously, if you want full editing capabilities then using the ideal software application is recommended. But it is fantastic to know there are other options.

Additionally, if You are looking for a more managed hosting agreement for a current WordPress site, it is worth repeating that Envato Hosted delivers a totally free website migration support as part of the signup procedure. Even though you ought to contact the support team first to discover if they will be able to migrate your particular WordPress website configuration.
The Envato Hosted monthly fees of $19.99 are fair in the managed WordPress hosting area. But you can, of course, host your website for a whole lot less — and in case you are prepared to perform more of the setup and ongoing maintenance work yourself, there are quite a few good alternatives that are worth considering.
Even though That the Envato Hosted service is a relative newcomer to the hosting area, the company has several years' experience working together and encouraging WordPress users — and that they're using the Amazon Web Service infrastructure should give you a bit of reassurance, too.
If You have been putting off starting a brand new WordPress website because of all of the various elements you'll have to understand, such as domain names, topics, installing WordPress and looking after your website, then Envato Hosted could well be a wise option.


Main Difference – Values vs Beliefs. Values and beliefs are two important concepts that govern our behavior and attitudes. Although values and beliefs are interrelated since they collectively affect our attitudes, perceptions, personality, character and behavior, there is a distinctive difference between …... Religion: "A religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to an order of existence." Ethics: "Ethics (also moral philosophy) is the branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct."
The difference between religion and morality will become clear if we remember that an act may be morally wrong while religiously right. Sometimes religion inspires conduct detrimental to social interests. The Hindu Dharma preaches untouchability which is morally wrong. In the not too distant past the practice of 'sati' was allowed rather inspired by the Hindu Dharma which was socially harmful.
Religion can serve as a resting place for morality and ethics, in the sense that ethics must be irrationally held. But religion is a big topic, there's no understanding the moral and ethical systems of most societies thoughout history w/o discussing their religion/myths.

The Mischabel Hut is the starting point here as well. Initially we follow the same trail as the one to the Nadelhorn. From the Windjoch at 3850m we reach the summit by following a gentle snow ridge. The summit is famous for its stunning views, especially the impressive North East face of the Lenzspitze. A bench on the summit invites you to stay a while and enjoy the peace, quiet and beauty of the mountains.

We're forgetful creatures by nature. And it's not a bug, it's a feature; forgetting is vital for maintaining a clear head and keeping enough room for the memories that are truly important to our day-to-day lives. If we remembered everything, we'd be overburdened by the constant influx of memory.
This is problematic for most professionals, however, since in any given week you're juggling dozens of meetings, hundreds of tasks, and hundreds of personal to-dos. Thankfully, Gmail (or, alternately, Inbox by Google) has a system you can use to set up automatic reminders for yourself—and stay on top of your email productivity.
There are a few ways to set these up, depending on which type of device you're using, whether you're using Gmail or Inbox by Google, and how you plan to implement them. But in all cases, you can get things rolling in 5 steps or less.
Instead of being called "Gmail reminders", Gmail has a setting called "Nudges" for reminding you about emails that need to be followed-up with, or reminders of emails that you haven't yet responded to. When Gmail Nudges are enabled, emails you might have forgotten to respond to, or emails that you sent that might need a follow-up will appear at the top of your inbox automatically.
In the bottom-right corner, you'll see a + icon. Hover over it, and you'll see a blue icon for Reminders. Click it.
Type whatever you'd like in the reminder space. It could be a simple command, like "get groceries," or something more detailed—it's entirely up to you. You can also use Google's helpful prompts for common reminder topics, like remembering to call or email someone.
Set a time for your reminder by including a snippet of text with a time requirement, like "tomorrow at 8 am." You'll see an automatic prompt to fill in the time. You can also click the clock icon to the right of the text box to set Snooze options, which allow you to set a precise or repeating reminder time.
Click Save when you're done. That's it!
If you're curious to see what reminders you've already set, you can click the Pin icon at the top of the Inbox view. This should show you any reminders you've currently set.
You can also use the left-side dropdown menu and click "Snoozed" to see any reminders you've snoozed or set recurring reminders for. You'll also see any emails you've snoozed.
You can also associate reminders with specific emails; for example, you may want to remind yourself to follow up with a lead after a week. To do this, open the email in question, and click the Pin button in the upper-right corner. Then, click "Remember" and enter any reminder text you'd like to see in the future. When you're done, hit Save.
In the bottom-right corner, click the + icon, followed by the hand-shaped reminder icon.
Type your reminder text, just like you would on desktop.
Set a specific time, like you would on desktop, using the Snooze feature if you want to set recurring reminders.
The only extra step here is to make sure your notifications are turned on—if they're turned off for Inbox, you won't get a push notification when a reminder comes due.
You can view your existing reminders by tapping the Pin button, or by accessing the Snoozed menu, just like on desktop devices. And if you want to add a reminder to an email, just tap the Pin icon when you have the email open.
Not Using Inbox by Google?
If you're using the traditional Gmail app, you won't have access to reminders as they exist in Inbox, but you can use "Nudges", to remind you about emails that need follow-up. Alternatively, you could use the integrated Google Calendar to set up meetings, appointments, or other events in the future and rely on the heads-up notifications that come with them to serve as reminders. Or you could use Tasks or Google Keep to keep notes and to-do items for yourself, complete with due dates (and alerts when they're coming due).
Gmail reminders are great, but they won't help you improve your email efficiency overall. For that, you'll need to dig deep into your email metrics, and learn exactly how you're emailing—including peak times and days of the week for email, how long it takes you to read and write emails, and how and why your email threads become chaotic. EmailAnalytics was created with this purpose in mind; it's got everything you need to master the art of email productivity, so give it a try for free today!

Students go to bat for Attawapiskat
Fran Côté
Last fall, Teviah Moro, a reporter for the Timmins Daily Press wrote a series of articles on a desperate situation in Attawapiskat, a First Nations community on the James Bay coast. I shared these stories with my Grade 5/6 class at Iroquois Falls Public School. They immediately decided that they needed to do something to help.
Fumes from a leaking diesel fuel tank under the J.R. Nakogee Public School permeated the school, making people sick. In 1999, the school was condemned and its 400 students placed in about 20 "temporary" portable classrooms. They're still there six years later! They have no gymnasium, no library, no lunchroom and few of the services that we take for granted in our southern Ontario schools.
Our MP, Charlie Angus, came to speak to the class and praised them for their interest. He suggested a letter-writing campaign and reminded them of this quote: "A small drop of ink can make hundreds, perhaps thousands, think."
Charlie told the students that they have a voice and could be heard. The federal politicians who decide on aboriginal issues, including education, needed to hear about the public's displeasure with the plight of students in Attawapiskat. We hoped the issue would get more attention and would be resolved sooner.
Soon after Charlie's visit, we invited Timmins Daily Press columnist, Xavier Kataquapit, who is originally from Attawapiskat, to come to our school. He thanked the students for their efforts on behalf of his community. Then he talked about the building of J.R. Nakogee PS and how very proud the whole community was of their school. For many children the school was the only place that was always warm and had electricity (from the diesel-fed generators) and running water. He said people were very sad to see their well-loved school boarded up, contaminated and condemned, with mushrooms growing out of the carpets and mold everywhere.
Charlie and Xavier's talks motivated the students to start their letterwriting campaign. They wrote to the MPs on the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Issues and some also wrote to Prime Minister Paul Martin and to Indian and Northern Affairs Minister Andy Scott.
Charlie told the Attawapiskat Education Authority about our campaign and their officer, Ignace Gull, thanked us for our efforts.
As promised, Charlie returned to IFPS to collect the students' letters and distributed them in the House of Commons. "I am inspired by the spirit of today's young generation. Never let anyone tell you that the world cannot be changed. Never let anyone tell you that young people cannot make a difference," he wrote.
The students soon began receiving responses from politicians. Mainly, the response was a polite "Thank you for your interest in the situation." But we expected that. It was the act of writing the letters that was so very valuable, not the response.
The students are very proud of what they have done. The life lesson about speaking up for others when you see an unfair situation is invaluable. Learning that you have a voice and that your voice can be heard is a fundamental lesson in our democratic society. This is putting our social studies program into action.
We like to think of our letter-writing campaign as a pebble dropped in a quiet pool of water. The ripples are gently moving out and who knows how far they will go. We are beginning to get interest from other teachers who wish to participate. Perhaps if enough students write enough letters, Attawapiskat may finally get its new school.
To learn more about this campaign, please visit our website Student Advocacy at www.dsbl.edu.on.ca/ijps/sa. You will find sample letters in French and English, as well as addresses of politicians.
Chi Meegwetch.
(This means 'thank you very much' in Cree.)
