Gaël Dimitri Clichy (born 26 July 1985) is a French professional footballer who plays for Swiss Super League club Servette. He primarily plays as a left-back, being also capable of playing as an offensive-minded wing-back. He is predominantly left footed, but naturally right footed. Earlier in his career, he was described as a player who possesses "almost unrivaled stamina" that is "quick in the tackle and willing to drive forward".

Clichy was born in the city of Toulouse and began his football career playing for a host of amateur clubs in the Haute-Garonne département such as JS Cugnaux, AS Muret, and Tournefeuille. In 2001, he moved to the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region to play for professional club Cannes. Clichy made his professional debut for the club in the 2002–03 season while the club was playing in the Championnat National, the third level of French football. After three seasons with Cannes, in 2003, he was convinced by manager and countryman Arsène Wenger to join Arsenal in England.

In Clichy's first season with the club, he was a member of the squad, dubbed the Invincibles, that went undefeated in the league season. As a result of the title, at 18 years and 10 months, Clichy became the youngest player to win a Premier League medal. After three seasons of backing up Ashley Cole, in the 2006–07 season, Clichy took over the starters' role permanently. In the 2007–08 season, he appeared in all 38 league matches. His performances during the season earned him an appearance on the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) Team of the Year. Aside from the 2003–04 league title, he has also won the 2004 FA Community Shield in with Arsenal. Clichy moved on in 2011 to more success with Manchester City, adding two more Premier League titles (2011–12 and 2013–14) and two League Cups (2014 and 2016). He left England after 14 years for Turkish side İstanbul Başakşehir in 2017, with whom he won the national league in 2020.

Clichy is a former French youth international and has represented his nation at every level for which he was eligible. Prior to playing for the senior team, he played on the under-17 team that finished runners-up to Switzerland at the 2002 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship. Clichy made his senior international debut in September 2008 in a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Serbia. He made his first major international tournament appearance for France at the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Clichy made one appearance in the competition against South Africa in the final group stage match. He additionally featured in the UEFA Euro 2012 squad, before making his last international appearance in 2013.

Early life
Clichy was born and raised in Toulouse, in southwestern France. His mother, Jacqueline, is a medical nurse, while his father, Claude, was an educator in the city. While Clichy was beginning his football career, his father often served as a part-time coach and referee. At the age of 15 while playing for Cannes, Clichy nearly died. After climbing over a metal fence while crossing a ground at the club's facility, a ring he was wearing got caught in the fence, which resulted in the skin and tissue from the fourth finger of his right hand being completely torn off. During the seven-hour operation to repair the finger, Clichy's heart stopped beating due to a problem with his lungs. It restarted after 15 seconds. The doctor who led the operation described Clichy's survival as "a miracle", while the player himself admitted that the ordeal changed his attitude towards life stating "It made me realise that life can go quick. You could leave tomorrow so you have to enjoy it to the maximum so you don't regret anything the next day. You can look forward to the future but not too far ahead".

Club career

Early career

Clichy began his football career at the age of five playing for his hometown club AS Hersoise. He, initially, was a predominantly right-footed player, but through decisive coaching from his father, Clichy's left foot eventually became his primary. One such example of his father's coaching came during a regional youth cup match, which his father was refereeing. The younger Clichy was informed by his father that if he scored a goal with his right foot, he would disallow it. Following this, Clichy developed his left foot "to the point where he eventually forgot his right foot". After five seasons with Hersoise, Clichy joined JS Cugnaux, a local club based in nearby Cugnaux. He spent only one year at the club before moving to AS Muret.

In 1998, Clichy joined AS Tournefeuille and began attending secondary at the Collège Leonardo da Vinci. During his stint at Tournefeuille, he was selected to attend the Pôle Espoirs de Castelmaurou, a regional academy located in the Midi-Pyrénées region that trained players similarly to the Clairefontaine academy in Île-de-France. Clichy spent three years at the center training there during the weekdays and playing with Tournefeuille on the weekends. In 2000, after developing at both Tournefeuille and Castelmaurou, Clichy was linked to a host of professional clubs, including Auxerre, Bordeaux, and Toulouse who were seeking to obtain his services. The young player ultimately decided to move to the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region to play for professional club Cannes.

Clichy arrived to Cannes in 2000 while the club was playing in Ligue 2, the second division of French football. While at the club, Clichy primarily played as a central midfielder and was supervised by former French international and Saint-Étienne player Christian Lopez. He began his career with the club playing in its youth academy alongside Julien Faubert. During the latter part of the 2001–02 season, Clichy spent time playing on the club's reserve team in the Championnat de France amateur 2, the fifth level of French football. In the following season, with the club now playing in the Championnat National, the third level of French football, he was promoted to the senior team on a permanent basis by Lopez, who was now managing the club. Clichy later played under Robert Buigues following the sacking of Lopez and appeared in 15 matches with the team assisting on two goals.

Arsenal

2003–2006
Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger had noticed Clichy's talents when the player first arrived at Cannes at the age of 16. Following the 2002–03 season, Wenger contacted Clichy directly in an attempt to sign the player. In June 2003, the Arsenal manager visited the Clichy household in Tournefeuille and offered him a professional contract with the club. Wenger informed Clichy that "you'll play", which was enough to convince both the player and his family.

As promised by Wenger, Clichy began the season on the club's senior team primarily as the backup to England international Ashley Cole. He made his club debut on 28 October 2003 alongside fellow débutant Cesc Fàbregas in a League Cup encounter with Rotherham United. Arsenal won the tie 9–8 on penalties with Clichy converting his spot kick. On 22 November, Clichy made his league debut in a 3–0 win over Birmingham City. Following an injury to Cole in December, Clichy appeared in nine straight matches; six of them as a starter. On 24 February 2004, he made his UEFA Champions League debut in the first leg of the team's 3–2 knockout round victory over Spanish club Celta de Vigo. Clichy finished the campaign appearing in seven more matches. On 9 May 2004, he appeared as a substitute in Arsenal's 1–0 league win over Fulham. A week later, Clichy appeared on the bench in the team's final league match of the season; a 2–1 win over Leicester City. The victory assured Arsenal an undefeated league season, which resulted in the club becoming the second first division team in English football history to finish a league season unbeaten. As a result of the title, at 18 years and 10 months, Clichy became the youngest player to win a Premier League medal.

Clichy remained second-choice to Cole for the 2004–05 season. Wenger did install the young defender as first-choice for FA Cup matches. Clichy appeared as a starter for every round until Arsenal reached the semi-finals when he was replaced by Cole. The club ultimately won the competition defeating Manchester United 5–4 on penalties to give Clichy his first domestic cup honour. In the Premier League, Clichy appeared in 15 matches, seven as a starter. In the UEFA Champions League, he only made two appearances; a 5–1 group stage victory over Norwegian club Rosenborg and a 3–1 knockout round defeat to German outfit Bayern Munich. Clichy's season ultimately ended prematurely in April due to a recurring foot injury.

In the 2005–06 season, Clichy was handed an opportunity to earn a regular place in the starting line-up after Cole suffered a fractured foot in October 2005. The injury seemed to signify that Clichy would earn some valuable first-team action during Cole's time out, however, after appearing six straight matches as a starter, Clichy suffered a similar injury in November, which ruled him out for four months. He returned to the team on 25 April 2006 in a Champions League semi-final tie against Spanish outfit Villarreal coming on as a substitute for the injured Mathieu Flamini. In the late stages of the match, Clichy was adjudged to have committed a foul in the box on striker José Mari, which resulted in a penalty taken by Juan Román Riquelme, which was saved by Jens Lehmann. Had Riquelme converted, the game would have gone to extra time. After appearing in a 3–0 win over Sunderland in the league the following week, Clichy suffered a re-occurrence of his foot injury. The relapse resulted in the player missing the 2006 Champions League final, sitting on the bench for the whole match. Arsenal lost the match 2–1 to Barcelona.

2006–2011

During the 2006 off-season, Clichy struggled to rehab his foot injury. The injury became so agitating for the player that Wenger was forced to intervene on the rehabilitation process. Wenger, subsequently, recommended Clichy visit Dr. Mark Myerson, an orthopaedic and medical director for the Institute for Foot and Ankle Reconstruction at the Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland. Clichy visited Myerson in June 2006 and was forced to undergo another surgery. The operation resulted in the player missing the 2006 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, as well as three months of domestic football with Arsenal. In August 2006, Cole departed the club for rivals Chelsea, a transfer which paved the way for Clichy to take over as the permanent starter. In three seasons as Cole's understudy, Clichy made a total of 24 league appearances for Arsenal and 57 overall.

Clichy made his return to the team on 14 October 2006 in a 3–0 league victory over Watford appearing as a substitute. He returned to the starting line-up ten days later playing the entire match in a League Cup win over West Brom. Clichy, subsequently, featured as a starter in the next 19 matches. On 3 March 2007, Clichy assisted on the game-winning goal scored by Júlio Baptista in a 2–1 win over Reading.

In the 2007–08 season, Clichy had arguably the best season of his career. He appeared in a career-high and team-best 49 matches and was the only player in the team to appear in all 38 league matches. Clichy also posted a career-high in assists delivering six with two of them coming in back-to-back league wins over Everton and West Ham in December and January. On 28 April 2008, he assisted on two goals in a 6–2 hammering of Derby County. For his performances during the season, Clichy was named to the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) Team of the Year alongside teammates Bacary Sagna, Emmanuel Adebayor, and Fàbregas. He also finished second in the Arsenal fans' poll for the club's Player of the Season. However, despite the impressive individual season, Arsenal, for the third consecutive season, failed to win any trophies. On 16 May 2008, Arsenal awarded Clichy with a two-year contract extension until June 2012.

During Arsenal's pre-season campaign ahead of the 2008–09 season, Clichy captained the team for the first time in its 2–1 win over Barnet. He remained a fixture within the starting eleven during the season despite the emergence of youngster Kieran Gibbs. On 1 November 2008, Clichy scored his first professional goal in a 2–1 defeat to Stoke City. After consistently appearing with the team for the majority of the campaign, in April 2009, Clichy began missing matches due to an unspecified injury. After being sidelined for several weeks, it was announced in early May that the defender would miss the remainder of the 2008–09 season due to a back injury. Similar to his foot injury three seasons ago, during the high note of the 2009–10 season, Clichy's back injury relapse after it was revealed that the player suffered a stress fracture of the lower back in the team's 3–0 win over North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. Despite being initially ruled out for a month, Clichy missed ten weeks and returned to the team in January 2010. He appeared in all of the club's remaining matches excluding one.

A healthy Clichy started the 2010–11 campaign as the starting left-back domestically and internationally for the first time. On 30 October, he assisted on the only goal scored by Alex Song in the team's league win over West Ham. Clichy scored his second career goal on 2 March 2011 in the team's 5–0 win over Leyton Orient in a FA Cup replay tie.
Altogether Clichy made a sum of 264 appearances and scored twice for Arsenal.

Manchester City

On 4 July 2011, it was confirmed that Manchester City had completed the signing of Clichy from Arsenal for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around £7 million, on a four-year deal. Clichy made his first appearance for City on the club's US Tour. He then made his first competitive appearance against Manchester United in the 2011 FA Community Shield and his first Premier League appearance against Swansea City. He was sent off during a league game against Chelsea for picking up a second yellow card for a challenge on Ramires. Clichy established himself as first choice left-back after beginning the season as backup to Aleksandar Kolarov. On 13 May 2012, the final day of the Premier League season, Clichy started and played the full 90 minutes against Queens Park Rangers at the City of Manchester Stadium in a 3–2 victory, on his 37th appearance of the campaign which ultimately handed City the title at the expense of rivals Manchester United. Clichy collected the second Premier League winner's medal of his career having won the other one with Arsenal after an Invincible 2003–04 season.

Clichy agreed a new four-year deal with City in May 2013 after penning a contract to keep him at the Etihad until 2017. "I'm really happy to have agreed a new deal with City and I'm already looking forward to next season", said Clichy. "Things didn't go the way we wanted them to this year but we'll come back stronger next season and learn from this experience."
Clichy won another Premier League winner's medal in May 2014 as Manchester City held off the challenge of Liverpool to regain the Premier League title on the final day of the season. Clichy scored his first goal for Manchester City on 30 November 2014 in a 0–3 victory against Southampton FC at St Mary's Stadium.

On 25 May 2017, Manchester City announced that Clichy would be leaving the club.

İstanbul Başakşehir
On 7 July 2017, İstanbul Başakşehir announced that Clichy had passed the medical earlier that day, following which he signed a 3-year contract to play for the Turkish club.

On 19 July 2020, Clichy helped Başakşehir secure their first ever league title, providing the assist for the game's only goal in the club's win over Kayserispor on the penultimate day of the season.

Servette
On 2 December 2020, Clichy joined Servette of the Swiss Super League on a free transfer and a 18-month contract.

International career

Youth

Clichy has earned caps with all of France's youth teams for which he was eligible. He was a late participant at under-15 level under coach Luc Rabat. Clichy made his youth international debut on 13 March 2001 in a 3–0 friendly win over Italy. He remained with the team for the rest of the campaign appearing in three matches at the 2001 edition of the Montaigu Tournament which France won. Clichy also played in all three matches at an international tournament in Salerno, Italy. At under-17 level, Clichy appeared in ten matches as France attempted to qualify for the 2002 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship. He made his debut with the team on 19 September 2001 in its opening league match of the season; a 1–0 win over Yugoslavia. In qualifying for the UEFA-sanctioned tournament, Clichy appeared in two of the three qualification matches. In the tournament, he appeared in all six matches as the starting left-back. France reached the final, but were defeated by a resilient Switzerland, who were led by future Arsenal teammate Philippe Senderos.

Due to increased playing time at his parent club Cannes, Clichy's stint with the under-18 team was uneventful appearing in only three matches. He returned to the team as a regular for under-19 duty as the team was attempting to qualify for the 2004 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship. In qualifying, France were surprisingly eliminated in the first round after finishing third in its first qualifying round group. Following the team's elimination, France only played in three more matches. Clichy played in the last two against Ukraine. He earned his first call up to the under-21 team under coach Raymond Domenech in the team's first match following the team's failure to qualify for the 2004 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship against Belgium, which was a 1–0 victory. Despite featuring in the team as a starter early on, which included playing in every match in the team's triumph at the 2004 Toulon Tournament, as the season wore on, Clichy lost his starting left-back spot to Lyon prospect Jérémy Berthod. His last appearance with the team came on 15 November 2005 in the team's first leg playoff round tie against England, which determined which team would earn a berth in the 2006 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship. Clichy started the first leg, but was substituted out for Berthod at half-time. France defeated England 3–2 on aggregate to earn a place in the tournament. However, due to his fractured foot injury suffered while playing with Arsenal, Clichy missed the competition.

Senior

On 31 January 2008, Clichy was called up to the senior national team for the first time for the team's February 2008 match against Spain. However, he instead played for the B team in its friendly match against the Congo DR, held the day before the Spain friendly. After receiving several more call ups in 2008, Clichy finally earned his first cap on 10 September 2008 in a 2010 World Cup qualification match against Serbia. The following month, he appeared as a starter in 3–1 victories over Tunisia and Austria, the former match being a friendly and the latter being a World Cup qualifier. In the next year and a half, Clichy failed to represent France internationally. Despite this, he was named in Domenech's 30-man preliminary squad to participate in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Clichy was later named in the 23-man team to serve as the backup for the incumbent starter Patrice Evra. At the competition, France endured a disastrous campaign as the players went on strike in response to its disagreement over the expulsion of striker Nicolas Anelka from the team. In the team's final group stage match against hosts South Africa, with several veteran players missing from the squad, Clichy was inserted as a starter and played the entire match in the team's 2–1 loss, which resulted in its elimination from the competition. As a result of the players' mutiny, Clichy, along with the 22 other members of the team, were suspended for the team's friendly match against Norway.

Due to the five-match suspension of Evra, new national team manager Laurent Blanc inserted Clichy as the starter. Following his first match since the World Cup against Belarus, Clichy was criticised for his defending; following a mix-up with Yann M'Vila, he failed to prevent Vyacheslav Hleb from providing the assist for the only goal of the match as France lost 1–0. Despite this setback, Clichy remained first-choice and featured in the team's next three matches. In November 2010, Clichy was benched in favour of Eric Abidal. Following Abidal's diagnosis of a tumor on his liver, Evra returned to the team and was given the starting left-back spot in his first match back. Clichy later admitted that he was frustrated by the decision, but respected the manager's choice. In June 2012, he was named in the 23-man France squad and given the number 22 shirt to compete at UEFA Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine as a substitute for Evra. He played the last two group matches against Ukraine and Sweden, as well as the 2–0 loss against Spain in the quarter final at the tournament.

Sponsorship
In 2012, Gaël Clichy signed a sponsorship deal with German sportswear and footwear supplier, Puma SE. He followed the likes of former teammates Sergio Agüero and Yaya Touré wearing the evoSPEED range of football boots. Clichy was formerly with British brand Umbro and its Stealth silo.

Much has been discussed in the Hunter Valley of late regarding the issue of Coal Seam Gas mining, culminating in the recent 60 Minutes story on the issue of hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking". And only last night, SBS screened "Gasland", an American documentary on gas mining and the potentially disasterous effects of fracking. We can not afford to let the Hunter Valley, one of Australia's premier wine regions, suffer the same fate and we urge all wine drinkers to support our call to the NSW Government for action.
With all of the flooding around Australia of recent times, it's hardly a surprise to say that the start of the 2011 vintage was wet. However, it was very wet.
201 Proprietor Barbara Smith is proud to announce that 201 has picked up another bronze medal, this time for it's 2010 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc at the Cowra Wine Show.
To meet the popular demand of Sauvignon Blanc drinkers, 201 has today released it's newest wine, the 2010 SSB. It is made from a blend of 60% estate-grown Semillon and 40% Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc.
The 2010 vintage in the Hunter Valley has been a challenging yet rewarding one given we harvested our Durif for the first time in 5 years.
Following on from the recent release of it's 2009 Chambourcin, 201 Proprietor Geoff Schippers announced today that they now also offer a range of gift baskets featuring 201 wines.
In it's very first vintage, 201 has been awarded a bronze medal for it's 2009 Semillon at the 2010 Macquarie Bank Sydney Royal Wine Show.
201 today welcomed the addition of a third wine to it's range today, the 2009 Chambourcin. From the same parcel of grapes that produced our Sparkling Chambourcin, it is an medium-bodied style ideally ready for drinking now.
Following on from the vineyard's first release earlier this year, 201 today announced the release of it's first red wine - the 2009 Sparkling Chambourcin. With growing the popularity of sparkling reds, this wine has savoury notes which perfectly suit the summer barbecue scene.
201 has received DA approval from Cessnock Council to build a new 2 bedroom dwelling for holiday lettings.

Mission: Impossible – Fallout is officially the UK's number 1 movie this weekend after amassing a box office return of £7,300,103 for its debut on the chart, but this figure doesn't tell the whole story.
The Paramount franchise led by Tom Cruise and directed by Christopher McQuarrie earned close to £2million in previews, reducing the Friday-Sunday total to a figure closer to £5.4million, some £1.8million short of this week's number 2 movie Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!, a film in its second weekend at the UK box office.
Even so, the total does mark a Friday-Sunday franchise high for Cruise and company, and the £7.3million overall accumulation is some £2million up on previous release Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015). So far, Rogue Nation is the only Mission: Impossible movie to surpass £20million here in the UK, so Paramount will be hoping that this higher than usual opening for Fallout brings about a similar result.
Released on the same day in North America as it was in the UK, Fallout also reached a franchise high in the region, accumulating $61.2million overall and becoming one of Cruise's top 5 all-time North American openings. This is excellent news for Cruise as it seems to almost guarantee a return of over $100million in the region before all is said and done, a figure that only 4 Cruise movies in the past 10 years have managed to hit, with three of those being from the MI franchise (the 4th being Edge of Tomorrow – 2014). Similarly, the £7.3million UK opening is over 2 times greater than the figures from his previous release The Mummy, which amassed £3.3million on its way to 2nd spot in June 2017.
Fallout also debuted at number 1 at the worldwide box office with a total accumulation of $155million over its opening weekend, a figure that is also a franchise high despite the movie not yet being released in a number of key markets including France (where a number of key sequences were filmed) and China (where it will be released at the end of August).
Overall, Paramount needed a win after the waning of their Transformers tent-pole on that franchise's last go around, and Fallout has provided that.
In as the spiritual winner of this weekend's box office but actually ranked at number 2 here is Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! at a total accumulation of £7.1million, a drop off of just 18% from its opening weekend's £8.3million gross.
The movie, which is a sequel to one of the top 15 most financially successful films in the history of the UK box office (Mamma Mia – 2008; £68.6million), is actually tracking ahead of its predecessor by some £10million having already hit £27million after just 10 days of release.
This huge accumulation makes Here We Go Again! the 3rd quickest out of the gates for 2018 behind the 2 biggest hits thus far, Avengers: Infinity War (£49.1million at the same stage) and Black Panther (£29.5million at the same stage). To put this into perspective, Mamma Mia 2 has earned more in 10 days than Solo: A Star Wars Story did in its entire run, and the musical is also set to surpass the entire takings of juggernaut comedy Deadpool 2 by the end of the coming weekend.
If Here We Go Again! manages to have the legs of its predecessor, we could be looking at one of the highest grossing movies in the history of UK cinemas by the end of its run.
In North America things aren't going quite as smoothly, with a 57% drop off in its 2nd weekend earning it $15.1million over the three day period. This was enough to leap frog last week's top spot earner in the region, The Equalizer 2, but is somewhat of a drastic down turn and does seem to indicate that overall takings for the film may be lower in North America than they were the first time around despite its opening weekend being a franchise high, and that $100million may be the highest that Universal can aim for.
The number 3 film on this week's chart is Incredibles 2 which out-gunned the debuting Sony Pictures animated film Hotel Transylvania 3 this weekend to fire itself to £5,146,128 Friday to Sunday, taking its overall accumulation to a whopping £33.2million, the 5th highest gross of any movie released in the UK so far in 2018.
Perhaps more importantly for Disney, this total and the continued success of the film as a result of the school holidays does seem to indicate that their Pixar movie will be able to out-run Peter Rabbit for a top 5 spot once all is said and done. Currently, Peter Rabbit sits £7million ahead of Incredibles 2 having just been overtaken by Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom as the UK's 3rd highest grossing movie of the year.
Worldwide is where the best reading is done for employees of Pixar and/or Disney, as Incredibles 2 this week surpassed $1billion at the worldwide box office.
This achievement makes the film the 4th release of 2018 to surpass that mark and the 3rd from Disney (the others being Infinity War, Black Panther and Universal's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom). Soon it will surpass Toy Story 3 as the 3rd highest grossing animated movie of all time behind Minions (2015) and Frozen (2013), making it a juggernaut superhero franchise in its own right.
Bonus fact: 22 of the 30 weekends in 2018 have featured a superhero film in the top 5 highest grossing movies list in North America.
Outside of the official top 5, but still the 5th highest grossing movie of the week is Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom which earned another £344,993 to push on past Peter Rabbit and the £40million mark to make it the 3rd highest grossing movie of the year thus far.
Juxtaposing that success is the continued decline of Skyscraper which, after just 3 weeks at the box office, is teetering on the edge of existence with a poor return of £329,232 this past weekend and a total accumulation of just £4.7million. The action film, which looked to take advantage of its star draw Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson at the box office, also disappointed in North America where it earned just $60million of its $125million budget. Worldwide, the film has limped to $257million overall, but it doesn't seem like it'll be enough to off-set production and promotional costs for Universal.
That about does it for this week's box office report. The UK box office will welcome Marvel back to the market in the shape and form of Ant Man & the Wasp this coming weekend. With MI – Fallout, Mamma Mia 2 and Incredibles 2 each earning over £5million this week, it seems like something's got to give.

UF (Ultrafiltration) is a kind of membrane-separation, widely used for substance separation, concentration and purification applications. UF filter is an ideal tool for wiping off particles, colloids, bacteria, heat sources, and organism in light textile, chemical, medical, food, electronic and more industries.
The ultrafiltration membrane of hollow fibre ultrafiltration module is densely covered by micropores like a hollow capillary tube wall. Under a certain pressure, the source solution flows inside or outside of the tube. Dissolvent, micromolecular and solute become ultrafiltrated liquid after permeancing the membrane. The stock solution is thus concentrated and the solute is then separated from the dissolvent.
Juysun is an ISO9001: 2000 certified ultrafiltration manufacturer that is engaged in the manufacture of different Water Treatment like sand filter, activated carbon filter, reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, UV sterilizer, ozone generator, water tank and more.

Rare Olympics Collection to be Auctioned in Detroit
Emma Klug
A 2,000 piece vintage collection of Olympic memorabilia, which includes rare items from games extending as far back as 1908, is set to go to auction tomorrow at DuMouchelles Art Galleries in Detroit.
"Of particular interest to bidders is a 1936 relay bearer's torch," says Jerry Anderson, an appraiser for DuMouchelles. "The 1936 games were historic as the first in modern times to conduct a torch relay from Olympia in Greece to the site of the games."
Other items to be featured at the auction include: programs and brochures from the 1932 Los Angeles games, a vintage postcard collection, event tickets, participation medals, handmade books, a 3-D stereoscope viewer with slides, and autographed photos of American diver Marjorie Gestring, who became the youngest female gold medalist in the history of the summer games when she competed at the age of 13 in 1936.
A collection of over 1,900 pins, including a unique set of pins designed by countries that unsuccessfully vied for the 2004 games, will also be up for auction. Limited amounts of these pins, which were traded among athletes, were made.
The collection is currently on view at the art gallery, located at 409 E. Jefferson Ave., until it goes to auction at 6:30 p.m. Friday.

Why Barry Jenkins Makes You Look in His 'Beale Street' Characters' Eyes
TheWrap Screening Series: Director talks about using his experience on "Moonlight" to strengthen "Beale Street"
Omar Sanchez | January 7, 2019 @ 5:33 PM	Last Updated: January 8, 2019 @ 8:35 AM
Ted Soqui
Barry Jenkins wants to get personal. In his latest film, "If Beale Street Could Talk," the Oscar-winning director uses close-ups so the audience can stare directly into the eyes of his characters. By looking at the characters at their most vulnerable, the viewer can't deny them their humanity. Audiences can begin to understand their emotion. Their pain. Their loss.
"Every now and then, if you have to look someone in the eye, you sit up," Jenkins told TheWrap's Steve Pond on Friday at a screening of "Beale Street," Jenkins' follow-up to the Oscar-winning "Moonlight."
Adapted from the best-selling James Baldwin book of the same name, "If Beale Street Could Talk" follows the journey of a young Harlem couple in the '70s with a perilous future. Stephan James plays sculptor Alonzo "Fonny" Hunt, a man thrown in jail after being put in a police lineup for a rape he didn't commit. The injustice causes his pregnant girlfriend Tish (KiKi Layne) and her family to fight for his freedom.
The movie is ultimately a love story that grapples with loss in a very intimate way. It's not the loss of a life that Jenkins examines, however, but the loss of time.

Throughout the film, we see moments when Fonny and Tish's relationship blossoms: the night they first make love, the day they find their first house. The sense of intimacy in their scenes is due in part to the film's use of close-up shots that find the actors looking directly into the camera. Jenkins and cinematographer James Laxton say they took the lessons they learned working on "Moonlight" to make a film where the photography helps "passive empathy become active."
Laxton, who was also at the Q&A along with film composer Nicholas Britell and editor Joi McMillon, told the audience at Laemmle Hall in Los Angeles that those "Moonlight" close-ups were critical, but also incidental. When Laxton and Jenkins were shooting a scene from "Moonlight" in which Naomie Harris' character confronts her son (played by Ashton Sanders) in the courtyard, Jenkins felt like the right emotion he was trying to get across wasn't coming through. So they improvised.
Also Read: 'If Beale Street Could Talk' Director Barry Jenkins on Why Showing Vulnerability Is 'a Sign of Strength'
Laxton put the camera in front of Harris. It was intended as a way to make the audience "walk a mile in her shoes," Jenkins said. The idea worked, teaching Laxton and Jenkins that a close-up shot of the actor looking into the camera was "the most visceral way" to connect with the character.
"It's like sculpting. You keep sculpting and sculpting until you find it," Laxton said of the filmmaking process.
Laxton used a two-way mirror called the Interrotron to get the right level of emotion during those intimate close-ups. For each scene in which a character has to look into the camera, the actor is not actually looking at a lens.
"Imagine a teleprompter, but you're now looking at your co-star," Laxton explained.
Also Read: Regina King Vows All Her Projects Will Be 50 Percent Female
Regina King, who plays Tish's unwavering mother, has a scene in "Beale Street" that finds her putting on a wig in front of a mirror. Jenkins said that before filming began, this was the only scene in which he knew he wanted to use the Interrotron close-up. King would later win Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture at the Golden Globes on Sunday for her performance.
The film was also nominated at the Golden Globes for Best Motion Picture in the drama category and Best Screenplay.
"For 'Moonlight,' we were making decisions fearfully," Jenkins told Pond. "This time we wanted to make sure we were making decisions confidently."

2017 saw the first Signing Choir Competition to be held on the UK Mainland, previously this was set up in Jersey in 2010 see details of this on our website pages.
Dee-Sign entered and came away the winners winning the Morgan Astill trophy. This was a lovely event and a very early start to our year.
We will not be entering this years competition as its in Medway in Kent, so a little bit of a long journey.
2017 was a really busy year, as are most years, but the amount of bookings completed brought in less charity funds than the previous year. Much of this is due to the fact that many bookings are from groups/organisations/charities that have very little funds, and although some give small amounts many donate nothing and just book the choir to support a particular event. This is becoming more often as the choir becomes more well known, and we try not to refuse people. However, we know that we gave great pleasure to many different people at these events.
We are already taking bookings for 2019 one really large one at the new Storyhouse Theatre in Chester, organised by AmaSing a new Community Interest Company which was formed in April 2017 and is committed to organising and developing exciting and inspiring community projects and performances linked with singing, music and the arts. AmaSing's first ever project has recently taken place in March 2018 at the Storyhouse. This project involved 34 primary schools in Chester & Ellesmere Port, Education students from The University of Chester, Media Studies students from West Cheshire College, House of Dance and The Hammond School dancers, professional composers Matt Baker, Andrew Smith and Ashley Faith, The Catholic High School Choir 'Voicebox' and adult vocal group 'Harmonix Vocal Collective'. It was partially sponsored by Lumisi and Oliver & Co Solicitors and raised money/awareness for charities Macmillan Cancer Support and Chester Zoo.
The three performances involved more than 1000 children and a sell out audience of 1,800 over three nights. The choir is looking forward to being involved in this event in 2019.
The number of volunteers in the choir is dwindling, as people go off to University, get married, start work, join the army, poor health and basically in some cases needing a 'gap year' due to the amount of time they have been in the choir and needing to have a break. We currently have three new members who are thinking of joining us, so that is good.
As Director I continue to try and secure funds for Chester & District Committee for Deaf People, via Trusts, Companies and via information supplied to us by Chester Voluntary Action Group who are a wonderful tool for charities. Chester Deaf Centre is currently in the process of applying to the Lottery Fund for a grant towards building alterations to Chester Deaf Centre, so it is more important than ever for the choir to bring in much needed funds as the total cost of the work is around £135,000.
The choir recently supported two other charities Youth Music and Sign2Sing The Deaf Health Charity raising £770.51p to be shared between them. (see details).
The choir website has been updated and improved and now registers access to Facebook, Twitter and Instgram, huge thanks to Syed Salman Gilani for his wonderful work all on a voluntary basis. Our choir leaflets have also been updated. We are currently working on making sure we comply with the new GDPR which is replacing the Data Protection Act.
In November 2017 we held a 40 year Anniversary Party of Chester Deaf Club and a 20 year Anniversary party of Dee-Sign Choir. We held a joint event at The Mercure Hotel in Chester, which 100 people attended, and our guest of honour was The Sheriff of Chester Cllr. Jane Mercer.
The choir is proud that over the past 20 years they have currently raised nearly £200,000.
Thanks to all our supporters, our volunteers/Asst.Directors, Webmaster, Treasurer, our collectors, the general public and everyone who books us for their events – please see our website for details.
Anne Hesketh – Choir Director/Secretary Volunteers in Partnership Group.

Jira is a great tool for tracking complex processes. Part of getting the most out of Jira is optimizing your process for gathering information on your Jira issues. The tricky thing is that with many issues, that information may come from multiple sources and may become available at different points in time. How can you keep all that information clearly visible and organized on a Jira issue?
Forms are unbeatable for gathering and organizing information. Data on forms is complete (because users are prompted to include what's needed and validation enforces required fields) and structured. ProForma makes it easy for teams to build and deploy their own forms. This relieves IT of a burdensome task (do you really want to create all those custom fields, screens and schemes?) and puts power over data collection in the hands of the people who actually use the data.
But sometimes one form isn't enough. You need to capture the information that was known when the request was made, as well as when the request was fulfilled. Let's look at an example.
A procurement team has created a request type and form which employees can access via the Jira Service Desk portal for requesting a purchase order.
An employee submits their request. If the request is approved, then Procurement will issue the purchase order, but the process doesn't end there. Procurement will want to confirm that the item has been received, inspected and accepted before completing payment.
Therefore, when they issue the purchase order, a procurement team member might also attach an Acceptance Form to the issue. The employee who made the request – or an approver or anyone who has been invited to participate on the issue (like the person who receives the delivery) – can access and complete the form via the portal. Thus having verified that delivery was completed, procurement can execute payment and close the issue.
All of the information associated with the process, from request to completion is recorded on the issue. The information is organized with the original request on one form, verification of delivery on another form, and Procurement's record of the process recorded on the issue. Teams (anyone with Administer Project permissions) can easily create their forms for themselves and since forms won't impact your overall Jira instance, it's perfectly safe to let them do so. Thus, the process above can be put in place without Procurement having to wait for help from an overburdened IT team.
This is just one process from your Procurement team's service catalogue that could be built Jira Service Desk. A similar process could be implemented for receiving and evaluating quotes, or for approving petty cash purchases and documenting proof of payment (add an attachment field to the request for receipts, packing lists, etc.). Empowering teams like Procurement to manage their business processes in Jira Service Desk using forms for collecting data is a win for everyone. Processes become transparent, accessible and trackable. Teams get the information they need without complicating your Jira instance.

Spring means so many wonderful things are beginning to grow in the garden! One of my favourites and super easy to grow is rhubarb. Fun to say (and eat), rhubarb is an awesome plant that provides a unique, slightly bitter taste combo.
The redder the stalks the sweeter.
Don't eat the leaves, ever….they are poisonous.
Add sugar and lemon juice and a lid! The lid will help sweat the rhubarb.
Turn down low and stir occasionally. In 20 mins you are done!
Serve hot or cold with a scoop (or 3!) of your favorite ice cream. Keep in mind, any uneaten compote makes a beautiful morning addition to pancakes, waffles, crepes, toast, scones……you get the idea!
Get creative, have fun, be wild. Eat. Enjoy.


The Merrell Ascend Glove is best for dedicated trail runners who are almost-but-not-all-the-way minimalists, or minimalist runners who need increased comfort for extended trail days or highly technical conditions.
Like the entire Barefoot series, the Ascend Glove fits snug through the midfoot and heel, with a wider roomy toe box up front. A traditional eyelet lacing system is effective at customizing tension across the midfoot. There is very little shifting on irregular or sloped terrain.
The outsole of the Ascend Glove is a definite upgrade from the Trail Glove – the lugs are more prominent, and the contact area isn't cut out through the arch, providing a larger surface area. Muddy terrain is negotiated easily, and the outsole rubber grips wet rocks well. There was minimal slipping on steep descents during testing.
Although designed for trails, the Ascend Glove provides a firm ride on roads as well. Flexibility through the forefoot and midfoot is strong, although not quite as extensive as the Trail Glove.
The interior is suitable for sockless running, with light cushioning around the ankle collar. The synthetic mesh upper ventilates well and dries quickly after water immersion, and has a tightly woven inner layer to help keep debris off your toes. And with a full-length rock plate, comfort is maintained well on rocky or technical trails.
At 8oz, this is one of Merrell's heaviest Barefoot shoes, so they may seem a bit clunky if you're used to other models. However, the rock plate, aggressive outsole, and increased cushioning allow you to bomb down rough trails effectively.


Japan's Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry has released information showing that the proportion of companies where every employee can work until age 65 or beyond if they so wish rose to a record 48.8% in 2012, up 0.9% from 2011. However, this growth continues to be led by smaller employers. Only 24.3% of companies with 301 employees or more are allowing workers aged 65 or above to continue working, only a 0.5% from 2011.
Looking at the workers themselves, the Ministry's survey shows that 73.6% of 430,036 workers who reached retirement age in the past year were rehired, while only 1.6% of those hoping to be re-employed were not; 24.8% opted to retire.
Large firms will have to promptly take all necessary steps since revised legislation enacted earlier this year obliges them to let their employees continue working up to 65 years of age or older. The law was revised in view of planned changes to the public pension system, which will see the state pension eligibility age gradually raised from 60 to 65, beginning next April.


I've never liked Netflix's streaming options. DRM. No Linux support. (And therefore) wasteful of bandwidth. Can't spool a whole movie, so I have to watch it in 5m snippets separated by 15m download. Plus it trashed the memory module on our Wii (only system in the house that would support it - I'm guessing it spooled to flash memory (!)). "Not interested, thank you."
Their DVD rental service is very good and fills a niche for rural customers who want access to a deep DVD catalog.
It has been good for that, and I'm not looking for the service to change. I'm delighted to (finally) be able to opt-out of their streaming business model and no longer pay for services I don't use.


We have been fans of Edinburgh artist, Emily Hogarth, and her wonderful papercut creations for a while. Emily uses a cut out technique to tell personal stories in a captivating and sentimental way. We were thrilled when she contacted us during the European leg of our travel adventure. Emily offered to create a custom papercut to commemorate our year on the road as a family. It was such a generous offer, and Emily is so talented, that we accepted immediately (worried she might change her mind!).
Emily knew our story from our blog and Instagram, and went about recreating it graphically. Over the next few months she sent occasional updates — images of the work in progress that got us all excited. From those sneak peeks we knew her final artwork would be detailed, but we had no idea how detailed! When it arrived we stared at it for hours, looking at how she interpreted each milestone on our journey, awestruck by her uncanny sense for the places and moments that were most special to us.
We had Emily's papercut framed and it now sits proudly in our reception room. She sent along a description of her artwork that we wanted to share below. Reading it, we were struck by the amount of thought, sensitivity and talent that has gone into its creation. What an amazing way to memorialise our year! Thank you Emily–we love it!!!
The artwork has been created in a circular design– representing your travels around the globe. Going anti-clockwise from the top, the artwork follows your travels and has little details from all the places you visited. In the center is a campervan, which represents one of the modes of travel you spent time in while on the road. The camper van has your family name and just under this are 6 little hearts – which represent the 6 of you. Just below the heart's is a little star – this represents your new baby on the way and the exciting times ahead. As your travels followed the sun – there is a setting sun behind the camper van under a little starry sky. Around the campervan are the names of the countries you visited. I choose the colour blue as I thought it represented your love of the sea and your families new found love of surfing. Finally there is a little 'eh' at the bottom of the artwork – this is my signature.
Now for the details around the artwork.
Starting at the top of the design (and working anti-clockwise) we have some cactus and a Joshua Tree (note the 'J' of Joshua is the wrong way round – little quirk that sometimes occurs when writting everything back to front!). This represents a beautiful day at the Joshua Tree National Park and your time spent in that area at the beginning of your travels. At the top of the tree is a cowboy hat and to the left are some cowboy boots, musical notes and the words 'Pappy & Harriet's' – where you spent a fun evening listening to country western music. Just under this is a wave with the words 'Big Sur, CA' and just above this 'Pfeiffer beach' – another memorial stop.
Moving round, we have some more tropical flowers and plants as you entered into Brazil. 'Casa Lola' is written under the palm leaves, one of your first stops. Just below this is a little 'Christ the Redeemer' statue, which over looks Rio – and where you spent a memorable time on a food tour – trying lots of new and exotic fruits with Tom of 'Eat Rio'. To the left of the statue are some houses representing the city of Rio and just under them the words 'Casa Zinc' representing your time there and getting to know its creator Aaron Hojman. Next to this is a circle with 'Heidi's' name within as well as the place 'Garzon' – in the center of the circle is a heart as this represents your time spent at Heidi's house celebrating thanksgiving and being serenaded by El Cuarteto del Amor all evening. To the left of this circle is an ice-cream cone, representing your time in Buenos Aires and enjoying 'Galado' with Delfina and Miguel. Just above this is a horse and just under the horse is a 'Rhea' egg – this represents your time on 'Martin's Ranch' in Uruguay. Continuing round is a little surfer cresting a wave with 'Ismael's' name and 'Puertecillo' written within the waves. Easton's initials 'EMA' are written on this surf board. Under the waves the design turns into clouds and some rain drops, which take us to the New Zealand stretch of your travels.
Between the mountains is a boat with 'Milford Sounds' written on it and to the right of this cascading waterfalls flow into the design and represent your boat tour here and the dolphins racing next to you. To the left of the boat are a couple of Hector dolphins which your children swan/surfed next to in Porpoise Bay. There is a surfboard just underneath one of the dolphins with the initials 'MMA' – representing little Marlow. This surfboard is just above a large wave with 'Raglan' written on it – another spot you enjoying camping and surfing. Underneath the waterfalls is a little campervan on the road and heading towards Rebecca and Ollie Prowie's house in Napier where you spent time getting to know them and camping in their driveway.
Continuing on we move to Australia. The Sydney Opera house is there and just under it are a couple of boats one with the initials T and S in it's sails – this represents Simon and Tahnee and your time spent with them and their kids on a boat in Sydney harbor. To the left of the opera house is a wave with 'Seal Rock' – another memorial camping spot. To the right of the opera house is another surfboard, this time with Quinn's initials QAA. Above the opera house in a circle, which represents all the time you spent in Byron Bay and all the friendships and memories you made (and all the new ones you will make there too!). To the right of this circle is the Cape Byron Light. Next is a signpost to 'Bellingen' another memorial camping spot and above this are the 'Blue Mountains'.
Next is Japan and just above the Blue Mountains is a slice of Pizza from the 'Savoy' Tokyo. To the right of this is one of the temples and the word 'Tokyo' written in Japanese. These are lots of raindrops here and some cherry blossom too. Above the rain clouds is a rainbow – which moves us onto 'Sri Lanka'.
The rainbow represents your time spent at the 'Rainbow center' in Sri Lanka and all the wonderful children and staff you met there. Above the rainbow is a bull elephant – which represents the evening you came across a bull elephant in your path. Next to this is a tuk-tuk with 'Jaya' name written on it – representing your time with him on his Tuk-Tuk in the jungle outside Arugam Bay. To the left of the elephant is another wave and another little surfer and this time 'Ivy" initials are on the surfboard 'IMA'. The palm tree next to the surfer has 'Hideaway' written up the trunk representing your time spent there.
Above the tropical flowers and palms are some English roses and another wave with 'Cornwall' written on and the names of your friends 'Kate and Joel' and their children 'Sophie and Louis' – representing your week spent in Cornwall trying to find waves to surf.
Above this is a boat sailing into 'Positano' Italy where you spent a month enjoying the Italian sun and ice cream and catching up with friends from around the world. Next to the boat is a little parasol on the pebble beach under the beautiful buildings that cascade down the cliff side to the sea. To the left of the ice cream is some lavender representing your time spent in Provence, France with Vanessa and Ceki and their family. Their initials are just under 'Provence'. To the left of the buildings in Positano is a Portuguese cockerel representing your time in Sintra in Marta and Manuels' beautiful home (their initials are within the cockerel).
Finally back at the top of the design I have included a little bit of London and some more English roses as it is where you started and finished this adventure – before you moved onto the next.
The artwork is great I like all the details!
It's beautiful. Great job, Emily.
This is, without doubt, the most beautiful gift anyone could ever make or receive. You must be so incredibly touched Courtney. What a souvenir! Yet another reason for me to want to go travelling with my family, so that I could ask for my own personal family handcut on return!!
This is unbelievably beautiful! So fun to follow along with the picture and description side by side in separate windows. I love that little Wilkie made it in, it wouldn't be complete without him. Such a gem that you will treasure forever — thank you for sharing your journey with us. Can't wait to see what's next.
OMG that is AMAZING…..So clever and special !!!
This is sooo beautiful and special! Haven't seen anything comparable!
This is so amazing. Wow, what a wonderful gift. She is incredibly talented!
We're a family of 5 from Vancouver, Canada and we're nearing the end our our own year around the world. I love Emily's work and would like to commission a piece to commemorate our own travels. Can you please tell me what size your print is? I've checked out her website and she offers 4 sizes. Yours looks just perfect. Thanks so much.
How wonderful that you've just travelled with your family!
Okay, so I just measured, and our piece is 50cm by 50cm. It's a perfect size!
It really is so lovely and intricate!
this is so wonderful! I could spend hours looking at all the details.
wow! Love this! So thoughtful and special!
