RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ISOKINETIC STRENGTH, VERTICAL JUMP, SPRINT SPEED, AGILITY AND YO-YO INTERMITTENT RECOVERY TEST PERFORMANCE IN SOCCER PLAYERS
Ali Onur Cerrah, İsmail Bayram
The current study investigated the relationship between isokinetic knee strength, jump performance, agility, linear and repeated sprinting capacity and Yo-Yo IR1 test performance and the fatigue indices of some of these variables in semi-professional soccer players. Twenty semi-professional soccer players participated in this study, performing 6 tests: bilateral concentric isokinetic strength tests of the knee extensors and flexors (60◦.s-1 and 300◦.s-1), jump tests (countermovement, squat and repeated jumping), linear sprints (10 and 30 m), agility (Illinois test), Bangsbo repeated sprints (7 x 34.2 m), and Yo-Yo IR1 tests. While no isokinetic variables were significantly correlated with field test results, some jump test results correlated with AgiWB, 10- and 30-m sprint times, RSTMEAN and FIRS. Furthermore, the knee isokinetic strength (60◦.s-1 and 300◦.s-1) indices and jump capacities demonstrated moderate to strong relationships with each other. In addition, AgiWB correlated with the 10-m sprint times and RSTMEAN, 30-m linear sprint times correlated with 10-m sprint times and AgiWB, and FIRS and RSTMEAN correlated with the Yo-Yo IR1 test results. The results suggest that power output during CMJ and RJ tests and not isokinetic knee strength are informative in determining field conditioning parameters for semi-professional soccer players.

Kirkpatrick proposes a way around the stalemates that have stymied thought on divine agency and enters into conversation with significant figures in systema. Kirkpatrick rigorously makes sense of real divine agency and appropriate mystery held in tension rather than conflicting with each other. We are drawn into understanding how God presides over the greatest mysteries of life, encountered in divine and human love. Subjects: Description Summary: There are two philosophical commitments requisite to Christian belief: that God is the ultimate mystery and that God is present and active in the world. And if so, how can it be conceived? Kirkpatrick has presented us with a clear and credible interpretation and defense of the view that God is a personal agent whose agency is expressed in acts of creating, redeeming, and sanctifying the world and in general and particular acts of providence commensurate with his or her intensions.
And if so, how can it be conceived? He sees God as a personal Agent in our history - large and small - and grounds his case in 'the primordiality of agency. He has provided us with a measured and attractive set of proposals which will repay close scholarly attention. This is then brought into conversation with systematic theology, where it is critically tested by, and critiques, accounts in Barth, Pannenberg, Torrance, Jenson, and the recent work of Kevin Hector. Agents, whether divine or human, are personal, and K. If one approaches the question of divine agency with a need to plumb one's own religious tradition's doctrine on the issue, the book can leave one dissatisfied, especially if the agency of the Christian God, for example, is understood as trinitarian and significantly different from that of the Jewish or Muslim God. We don't have to be anti-science or anti-reason to speak about how God influences directly without interfering in the world. Register a Free 1 month Trial Account.
Drawing upon some neglected twentieth-centuryresources on human action, he presents an account of divine action that aims at philosophical coherence and theological adequacy. There are two philosophical commitments requisite to Christian belief: that God is the ultimate mystery and that God is present and active in the world. In The Mystery and Agency of God, Frank C. There are two philosophical commitments requisite to Christian belief: that God is the ultimate mystery and that God is present and active in the world. The upshot of this philosophical approach, K. A remarkable and monumental achievement. Drawing on the often neglected philosophical work of thinkers like John Macmurray, Raymond Tallis, and Edward Pols, Kirkpatrick proposes a way around the stalemates that have stymied the attempt to think divine agency coherently.
Retrieved Mar 23 2019 from The Mystery and Agency of God: Divine Being and Action in the World. Kirkpatrick has written a profound, original, and scholarly work in philosophical and metaphysical theology. By methodically critiquing the usual problems that arise when speaking of God as a personal agent, Kirkpatrick carefully argues that God supervenes on rather than intervenes in the laws of nature. This book is contemporary, clear, critical and inclusive. The Mystery and Agency of God : Divine Being and Action in the World.
Frank Kirkpatrick in this outstanding study brings insight, originality, and clarity to this important debate. He then employs three other thinkers, Raymond Tallis, Edward Pols, and William Alston. The Mystery and Agency of God: Divine Being and Action in the World. In more Scholastic terms, his interest is in the divine agere rather than the divine esse. Through his clear yet demanding exposition, Kirkpatrick charts a course from philosophy to theology that respects reason and science, presenting a nuanced and exciting development in the field. Kirkpatrick rigorously makes sense of real divine agency and appropriate mystery held in tension rather than conflicting with each other.
He sees God as a personal Agent in our history—large and small—and grounds his case in 'the primordiality of agency. He has provided us with a measured and attractive set of proposals which will repay close scholarly attention. The Mystery and Agency of God is not simply a solid contribution to a continuing debate, but it is also exactly right in its conclusions. He convincingly argues that his twin concepts of the primordiality of action and God as personal agent can effectively resolve the perennial theistic conflict between God's transcendence and immanence. A remarkable and monumental achievement. Kirkpatrick tackles the problem of divine agency with his characteristic clarity and insight. Kirkpatrick proposes a way around the stalemates that have stymied thought on divine agency and enters into conversation with significant figures in systematic theology.
Kirkpatrick takes on the vital, but often dismissed, question of God's action in the world. By methodically critiquing the usual problems that arise when speaking of God as a personal agent, Kirkpatrick carefully argues that God supervenes on rather than intervenes in the laws of nature. Kirkpatrick has presented us with a clear and credible interpretation and defense of the view that God is a personal agent whose agency is expressed in acts of creating, redeeming, and sanctifying the world and in general and particular acts of providence commensurate with his or her intensions. . The book is rich for those who want to know how to construe agency philosophically and then how one might proceed from there to understand divine agency in particular. With his customary cogency, lucidity, and sensible judgment, Kirkpatrick argues for the primordiality of action, showing how a master teacher writes philosophical theology. In his dialogue with Ekhardt, Pols, Macmurray, and others, Kirkpatrick creates space for fresh conversations on how God and the world must be taken together.
We are drawn into understanding how God presides over the greatest mysteries of life, encountered in divine and human love. Attempting to avoid the trappings of a radical distantiation and the immanent collapse of God and world, Frank Kirkpatrick argues for a theory of agency and action that preserves the mystery of God while providing a philosophically robust account of divine action in created time and space.

Is there such a thing? This book is contemporary, clear, critical and inclusive. Kirkpatrick tackles the problem of divine agency with his characteristic clarity and insight. What evolves is an agent view of God as 'standing alongside,' reflected in a commonality of field shared by human agency. He convincingly argues that his twin concepts of the primordiality of action and God as personal agent can effectively resolve the perennial theistic conflict between God's transcendence and immanence. Kirkpatrick has written a profound, original, and scholarly work in philosophical and metaphysical theology.

Jack Ma knows as much as anyone about how China's middle class spends its money. What will he do with this information?
A DOZEN big screens hang on the wall. Maps flash. Numbers stream by. The Alibaba Group's "live data monitoring room" offers a snapshot of frantic activity: Chinese firms trading with foreign ones; Chinese individuals buying clothes from each other. Perhaps half a billion people use Alibaba's various online services. The group's diminutive founder, Jack Ma, smiles that business is "pretty good". Yet he is far from satisfied.
In a country where tycoons are often the children of politicians, Mr Ma stands out. He failed twice to get into college. He learned English from the radio. He stumbled on the internet during a trip to America as an interpreter in the mid-1990s. He typed the phrase "Chinese beer" into a search engine. No results appeared. He saw an opportunity.
He started Alibaba in 1999, to help small firms find customers and suppliers without going through costly middlemen. Alibaba.com now claims to have 57m users, including some in nearly every country. It is sometimes likened to eBay, but is more like an online Yellow Pages.
Another venture, Taobao.com, sells to consumers. It has 300m customers and shifted $29 billion-worth of goods in 2009. It is like a scrappy cross between Amazon and eBay: it operates an online mall where vetted sellers can hawk their wares, and a site where anyone with a Chinese identity number can sell anything legal to anyone. It generates money through advertising.
Alibaba's staff boast of the businesses they have nurtured. One Chinese village had a stack of rabbit meat, having skinned the creatures for fur. The chief asked for suggestions. A villager sold the lot on Alibaba.com. More commonly, clients are small firms that want to link cheaply to the global market. Machine-makers in Turkey or Britain use Alibaba to find cheap suppliers in China without having to go there. Buyers can read reviews that others have written about each seller, which fosters trust, though it is far from foolproof.
The Alibaba campus in Hangzhou looks much like the offices of a zippy firm in Silicon Valley. The architecture is airy and feng shui-compliant. Employees enjoy ping-pong and free massages. Grey hairs are as rare as neckties. As is common at Chinese internet firms, a disproportionate number of senior managers are foreign-educated or have worked abroad.
Alibaba has hefty foreign backers: America's Yahoo! and Japan's Softbank. Yet because of where it is, it cannot operate like a Western firm. Until the mid-1990s the growth of the internet went all but unreported in China's news media. So getting started was hard for Mr Ma. But now he sees opportunities everywhere.
China has millions of small entrepreneurs but a primitive financial system. To boost traffic through his websites, Mr Ma set up an online payments system, Alipay, in 2004. Its growth was greatly helped by the ban that China imposed, until recently, on its American rival, PayPal. Alipay says it now has 470m users worldwide and that more than 500,000 Chinese merchants accept it. In some Chinese cities people can use it to pay their utility bills.
Mr Ma has also started a service called Ali-loan. He does not lend money, but works with banks, which typically have no idea if a small borrower is creditworthy.

O'Malley throws a spanner in the Mother Goose works when he lets Humpty Dumpty snap and go on a rampage through the land of nursery rhymes. Here, the story is told by the father of a student who is plainly not of nursery-school age, so no holds are barred. As he tells it, while Mother Goose is away, Humpty Dumpty goes berserk from lack of respect. Old King Cole is sitting in for Mother Goose and though he is better known for his merriment than his brains, he tries to do what he can. The king throws what he's got at the rampaging egg: Peter Piper's pickled peppers, for instance, and the Duke of York's 10,000 men, and Peter Pumpkin Eater's pumpkin. The Muffin Man lends a hand, but it's up to Humpty Dumpty to self-destruct, sort of, and in the process gain some of that cherished respect from the good folk of nurseryland. (Imagine Humpty as an Elvis impersonator and you get the idea.) Though O'Malley's comic, high-octane artwork gives the proceedings an edge, there is nothing really vicious in these pages: "He found Jack Horner sitting in a corner. He stole his plum, Christmas pie and all," is typical. And while O'Malley is busy sticking his finger in the eye of Mother Goose, he also pays homage to the timeless verses by weaving them directly into the text. As bratty as its intended audience, this poaches from the best scramblers. (Picture book. 6-10)

Sideways Sammy's City 0-1 Portsmouth
Last updated : 03 October 2018 By SS
A narrow defeat against the league leaders, Portsmouth, could be seen as encouraging, but it was another game where we struggled to put the opposing defence and goalkeeper under concerted pressure. There are positives and negatives to take from the performance, but the season is in danger of slipping into a familiar pattern.
All We Are Saying, Is Give Us A Goal
Not for the first time this season, it was far from a terrible display from the Sky Blues but one where it was hard to see us actually scoring.
They key team selection decision from Mark Robins to replace the ineligible Conor Chaplin with Tony Andreu. It was probably the most sensible decision given that Andreu has shown more thus far this season than either Jordy Hiwula or Amadou Bakayoko, but with Jonson Clarke-Harris attempting to play with his back to goal and Jordan Shipley on the left-wing, the balance of the front four didn't require a Tony Andreu-figure looking to get on the ball.
It was perhaps most aptly summed up in the first-half when Andreu was given space by the Portsmouth defence to shoot just outside their penalty area, but instead chose to pass to a marked Jonson Clarke-Harris.
Beyond Andreu's lack of impact on proceedings, the attacking performance lacked decisiveness. Perhaps the lack of goals from open play is playing on the players' minds, but so often, promising situations were squandered by poor decision-making – passes being made instead of shots, shots instead of passes, over-hit passes, under-hit passes, et cetera and so forth.
What exactly can be done about poor decision-making is something for Mark Robins and the players to work on. However, the decisions being made looked to be of players not wanting to take the responsibility of taking the final shot. This is where Conor Chaplin was sorely missed.
Time To Throw Off The Shackles?
Following on from the last point, Mark Robins may well have to shake things up to solve the goalscoring malaise that we find ourselves in. The failure to score last night wasn't solely down to the absence of Conor Chaplin, it has been a common theme both with and without our big summer signing that we have endeavoured without testing the opposition goalkeeper.
A key decision over the next few weeks looks to be how long Jordan Shipley can remain in the side. The academy player performs a useful role in keep the shape of the team on the left-flank, but has struggled to make an impact when he's gotten on the ball.
With Jodi Jones returning to fitness, and already looking reasonably sharp, there is a genuine replacement for Shipley on the left of midfield, whereas the alternatives before were an out-of-position Jordy Hiwula or a Reise Allassani who is seemingly not yet trusted by Mark Robins.
Most encouraging from Jones' two cameos has probably been that he has played with his head up, in stark contrast to most of our other attacking players. Very often, moves have broken down this year from almost an over-eagerness to force things to happen, Jones has looked more deliberate in sizing up whether to cross, shoot or pass.
Moreover, playing Jones gives us an attacking threat on both sides of the pitch – similar to what Portsmouth had with Lowe and Curtis on either flank. That ability to change the angle of attack can unsettle an opposing defence looking to bed-in against us, which could be worth sacrificing the defensive solidity that Jordan Shipley provides the side.

VICTORIA – Sierra Club BC hailed today's decision of the Federal Court of Appeal on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion as a major victory.
"It's time for Prime Minister Trudeau to walk away from this pipeline and tankers project. Today's decision should be a lesson to politicians: your days of being servants to multinationals and fossil fuel corporations are coming to an end. We will no longer wait for climate justice.
"If the Trudeau government takes its commitment to reconciliation and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples seriously, then these rigged and superficial approaches must become a thing of the past. Indigenous peoples have the right to free prior and informed consent.
"The decision making processes have been rigged for too long. It's time for a more modern, democratic process that subjects projects like this to much closer scrutiny, especially of the many environmental, social and economic dangers they pose.
"Today's court ruling is a victory for orca whales, for our climate, for Indigenous peoples defending their title and rights, and for the rights of all of us to defend the land and waters we love and call home.
"We are thrilled that the courts have overturned federal approval of this dangerous pipeline and tankers project that would have put so much at risk.
Orca whales are one of BC's most iconic residents. Besides being supremely lovable, with their high degree of intelligence and powerful family bonds, they are also a keystone species that upholds a delicate marine ecosystem, one that human beings intrinsically depend on.
We need orca whales and we adore them, but very few people are as outwardly devoted to them as Gary Sutton.
Gary is a captain for Ocean Ecoventures, a small, family-run whale watching company in Cowichan Bay. He's also a gifted and hard-working photographer with a driving passion to photograph and protect these whales.
There are only 76 southern resident orcas remaining in the Salish Sea, and these endangered whales face numerous obstacles to their survival.
Now, they face their greatest threat to date: Kinder Morgan's new pipeline and tankers, which would surely sound their death knell. We're working hard to stop Kinder Morgan through our Pull Together campaign and we hope you'll join us in supporting First Nations' legal challenges to the project.

With Kinder Morgan bullishly pushing ahead with construction at their terminal in Burnaby and laying down illegal mats to prevent salmon from spawning (Chinook salmon are the southern resident whales' primary food source), our outreach coordinator Brynne Morrice thought it would be a good time to hear Gary's perspective on orca whales and the battle for their survival.
B: Thank you for joining me Gary. First—how did you become a captain on a whale-watching boat?
G: I moved here ten years ago from Ontario to pursue a career in marine biology. I have been obsessed with whales and dolphins—particularly killer whales—my whole life. So when I finally lived in a city that offered whale watching tours, I jumped at the chance. I applied for marine naturalist jobs and was lucky enough to get hired by a company on Granville Island. I fell in love with it almost immediately. My boss offered to pay for my 60-ton captain's course. I started driving the boats and then took over management of the company as well. I have since moved to Vancouver Island to work with Ocean Ecoventures, a small, conservation-minded company that really goes the extra mile.
B: How has your role as a captain related to your journey as a photographer?
G: Photography was never part of my life until whale watching became part of it. After my first season in 2007, I bought a camera to document some of the incredible things I got to see out there. It quickly became a passion.

B: It looks like you mostly photograph orcas. Is this primarily because of your job, or is there a more personal reason?
G: Mostly because of my job, but also because I love them! It's such a challenge to capture an intimate moment of an animal that spends the majority of its life underwater. It requires you to study and learn their patterns and movements so you can have your camera pointed in the right spot when they surface again. I love that challenge.
B: When I first chatted with you, you said you want to fight for these whales in any way possible. Tell us more about that.
B: There has been controversy about whale watching boats in the past, and again more recently with the federal government changing "viewing distance" laws. Can you break this down for us and address the issue of boats and killer whales?
G: Where to begin? Shipping noise needs to be addressed. However, it has to be done in conjunction with the most important factor, which is lack of salmon. The government's announcement that they were putting over $7 million into acoustic research and just over $1 million into salmon enhancement is embarrassing. A recent study showed that the vast majority of harmful noise that could interrupt their foraging comes from commercial shipping. It's obvious why the government is so focused on noise. They want to conduct studies so they can find some (most likely non-peer reviewed) science that will allow them to expand tanker and freighter traffic in and out of Vancouver. I am all for a viewing distance law for boats, both commercial and recreational. Again, more needs to be done than just that.
Other studies have shown that it's the speed of the vessel that impacts the whales way more than the distance. My frustration grows when you see the whale watching fleet going 5 knots paralleling whales at 100m with enforcement boats on scene watching us, and there are freighters going by at 15-20 knots lighting up the whole area with harmful noise and at the same time recreational fishing boats sit right in front of the whales, still being allowed to scoop chinook salmon right from their mouths.
It's great that there will be a law so DFO can prosecute when you see really bad behaviour (mostly by pleasure boats). However, it's disappointing that this is the only action the government has taken. We have already seen this on the other side of the border. After implementing a 200-yard viewing distance for whale watchers 5 or 6 years ago, how do the southern residents look now? Lowest number of whales in 30 years, no calves for years, poor body condition, and this was the least amount of time the whales spent in the Salish Sea since the study began in the mid 1970's.

B: Tell us about how the Kinder Morgan pipeline and tankers project relates to these whales.
G: The Kinder Morgan project would be a huge loss for the whales, wildlife, and ultimately, us. An oil spill in the Salish Sea would finish the southern residents. We saw that happen in Alaska when the Exxon Valdez went down. The AT1 transient population of killer whales in that area only have a few animals left now, with no reproductive females. They are doomed for extinction. This is a real possibility for our whales if Kinder Morgan goes through. It's not worth the risk!
There's also the salmon streams they are destroying while building this pipeline, the leaks from the pipeline and the increased noise from the 7X increase in tanker traffic. I understand fossil fuels are a huge part of our world, but if we want to be a progressive country we should be heavily focused on renewable energy and not increasing our exports of oil.
B: You've gained quite a following on Instagram with your spectacular photographs of orca whales. How has this had an impact for you?
G: Instagram has been a great platform to share information about what is going on out here. It's also a great place for me to vent. It actually really makes me feel hopeful when you see how many people are engaged in this fight and willing to help. Most of the time, it's not that people don't care, they just don't know.
B: For people who care about orcas in the Salish Sea, what would you ask them to do?
G: I encourage them to make small changes in their lives: Reduce your waste (especially plastic), eat sustainably, use responsible cleaning products, support sustainable fisheries or stop eating meat altogether. Politically, vote for your local representatives that have environmental conservation in mind. Write letters to Canada's fisheries minister letting him know you don't agree with the government's actions and you want to see more fish in the water. Get rid of fish farms. Put a moratorium on Chinook salmon fishing.
B: Thanks for your time, Gary, and for your dedication to the whales.

Both our federal and provincial governments have given the green light to Texas-based oil company Kinder Morgan to build a tarsands pipeline and increase oil tanker traffic on the BC coast by 700%.
Despite what Premier Clark says, BC is a long way off from having "world-leading" spill response capacity – on water or on land. Accidents happen and there's no known technology to clean up toxic diluted bitumen.
Our elected representatives are standing up for Big Oil, so it is up to the rest of us to stand up for BC and defend our communities and our climate.
A number of First Nations along the pipeline and tankers route have already filed court challenges.
It was indigenous-led legal challenges that brought an end to Enbridge's Northern Gateway proposal. First Nations can stop Kinder Morgan in the courts also. Let's not stand by and watch them go it alone.
That's why we're relaunching Pull Together. In partnership with RAVEN Trust and the Force of Nature Alliance, we're supporting the Tsleil-Waututh and Coldwater Nations who are in court to overturn the federal approval.
There are lots of ways you can help. During our last Pull Together campaign, there were smoothie sales and pub nights, dance performances and poetry readings. Over fifty musicians played at benefit concerts across the province.
Will you host a solidarity event in your community?
It doesn't matter how big or small – whether you raise $100 or $1,000, your impact will be amplified by the contributions of others.
We can help get you started. Just fill out this form and we will be in touch to provide you with support.
When we pulled together to stop Enbridge, we were overwhelmed by your response. All across the province, people stepped up. People like you danced, marched, sang, paddled, stretched and ate together to support the First Nations fighting Enbridge in court. Together we raised over $600,000 for the legal costs, thanks to unprecedented solidarity between Indigenous leaders and thousands of Pull Together allies.
Not a penny of the money raised went to Sierra Club BC. This campaign is a risky one for us financially, however we feel so strongly that it's the right thing to do that we are doing it again! We believe that standing in solidarity with First Nations requires the courage to take risks and step outside our comfort zone.
We hope you will join us. Your ongoing support is what lets us take this kind of risk. And your involvement in Pull Together is how together we will stop Kinder Morgan.
Pull Together is not just about raising money, it is about pulling together in the face of governments bent on forcing the Kinder Morgan pipeline and tankers on an unwilling province.
Pull Together is about building strong communities of resistance. Pull Together recognizes that when it comes to moving away from fossil fuel dependence, we are all in this together. With Trump pushing his fossil fuel agenda, it's all the more important that we organize here in BC to keep fossil fuels in the ground.
By stopping Kinder Morgan, we can build the type of future we want in British Columbia—one that moves toward renewable, clean energy and green jobs. One in which our communities are safe from the threat of oil spills.
Together, we can do this. Ready, set, pull!
Thanks to you and so many more like you all over the province, we did it!
After years of tireless, selfless struggle—organizing, marching, petitioning, writing submissions and speaking at NEB hearings, getting spied on by our own government's security apparatus, raising funds for First Nations legal challenges, you name it—we finally got what we were so passionately demanding: the end of Enbridge.
Our salmon—and the northern economy that depends on them—are now safer, as are the spirit bears, the humpback whales and all the delicate ecosystems of the north coast.
This, my friends, is a legendary achievement. Take time to celebrate, to savour the taste of victory. Don't let the government's reckless, irresponsible approval of the Kinder Morgan pipeline and the Petronas fracked gas plant undermine this victory – tomorrow we will work to stop Kinder Morgan and Petronas, today we celebrate!
To every one of Sierra Club BC's incredible supporters: thank you. To every one of you who contributed to Pull Together: thank you. To the communities along the pipeline and tanker route who led the way for so many years: thank you. To every one of our friends and allies: thank you.
And most especially, to every one of the First Nations who stood resolute and strong in the face of the wealth and might of corporate and government power: thank you.
In particular, I want to name the Heiltsuk, Gitga'at, Gitxaala, Haida, Kitasoo-Xai'xais, Nadleh Whut'en, and Nak'azdli Nations, whose court cases overturned the federal approval of Enbridge and whose precedent will push governments in the right direction for years to come.
It was a privilege to witness their courage and determination and to support them (along with RAVEN Trust) through the Pull Together initiative, which raised more than $600,000 for legal costs. Theirs was true leadership and their example has shown us a path to victory in the coming fight to stop Kinder Morgan.
I believe that when historians look back at the death of the Enbridge pipeline, they will come to see it as the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era in British Columbia.
There's still much work to be done. Clearly, we have a federal government that doesn't understand you can't be a climate leader and build pipelines. Clearly, our provincial government, with its obsession with liquefied fracked gas, still doesn't get it.
But this was a landmark moment, make no mistake.
History is on our side. The end of fossil fuels is inevitable. The only question is when we are not just celebrating the end of a pipeline, but the end of an era.
The Enbridge victory, above all, gives me hope. It shows the power of everyday people. It shows what we can achieve when we come together. It shows the path to the kind of future we all want: one powered by truly clean, renewable energy; one that respects nature and lives within her limits; one that respects indigenous governance; and one that makes sure no one is left behind by a post-carbon world.
Take some time to celebrate! Just look what we can do, when we stand together. I am filled with hope for what we will do next. We stopped one pipeline, we can stop another one.
