Welcoming Women Off the Street
Alive Publishing > Alive Newstitle_li=Faith Today Articles > Welcoming Women Off the Street
In the heart of one of London's most notorious red light districts, a nun has set up a refuge for prostitutes, to help them come off 'the game'. Joanna Moorhead went to meet her.
It's a weekday lunchtime in a cafe a stone's throw from King's Cross station in London, and a group of women in their 20s and 30s are sitting with coffees and sandwiches, laughing and joking with another woman who's stopped at their table for a chat. The mood is light-hearted and fun.
You'd be hard-pressed to believe it, but the people you're watching are street prostitutes: and the person they're chatting to is a nun.
In many ways, of course, why would you know: prostitutes don't look any different from any other women, and nuns who don't wear a habit – as this one doesn't – are indistinguishable too. But it's not only the work they do that makes this group surprising: it's their setting as well. Because this cafe – which is, incidentally, a man-free zone – is a very calm, very relaxed environment. And that, says Sister Lynda Dearlove, the nun who set up this project for women involved in street prostitution, is exactly why it's such an important place for the women who use it.
'The thing you've got to realise,' says Sister Lynda a few minutes later, as we talk in a meeting room upstairs, 'is that the women who use this place have had totally chaotic lives. They haven't had stable homes, they haven't had two parents, most of them haven't anywhere near completed their education. Their lives have been in a state of chaos and flux since childhood, and many of them got involved in street prostitution at the age of 15 or even younger.'
What they need, in a nutshell, is a home and a family and people who care about them – and that, more than anything, is what I felt I wanted to provide.Helping these women get out of street prostitution is what Sister Lynda has dedicated the last few years of her life to. Raised in Middlesbrough, she became a Sister of Mercy at the age of 25 (just 25 years ago) and worked as a school chaplain before training as a social worker. She then spent several years working for the charity Providence Row – and became more and more aware, she says, of the special needs of women who were involved in street prostitution, and the fact that their needs weren't being properly met.
'What I could see,' she explains, 'is that these women were being denied the access to basic services, they were unable to find their way through the maze of benefits and support on offer. They're people who are up against it in ways most of us have never been up against it, and then on top of that they're presented with this hugely confusing world of benefits and legal issues, and very often they can't begin to make sense of it.
'What they need, in a nutshell, is a home and a family and people who care about them – and that, more than anything, is what I felt I wanted to provide.'
Sister Lynda – who was made an MBE in last year's New Year's Honours' list, and was recently awarded an International Women of Courage award by the US – realised that King's Cross was a good place to locate her refuge – 'prostitution has become less visible in this area over the last five years, but believe me there's still plenty of it happening,' she explains – and after a long search, she found her ideal building – a former hotel down the road from the railway station.
She named the building 'Women@theWell' because, she says, the Gospel story where Christ meets the woman at the well encompasses the sort of approach she hopes her project will put into action. 'In that story Jesus deals with the woman in a way that is both non-judgemental and allows her to move on with her life in a way that is both accepting and empowering,' she says. 'That's exactly what I'd hope of Women@theWell.'
The building itself is quite a grand one – some of the renovations they've made, Sister Lynda explains, have been shaped by the need not to damage original Georgian features – and there's a rabbit warren of small rooms that have been turned into reflexology rooms, counselling rooms, computer rooms, shower rooms and stores where women can come to collect toiletries, nightwear, shoes and clothes. 'Some of the women here have virtually nothing. If they need to go into hospital, for example, they have to come here for nightwear because they don't possess any. You really are talking about a very high level of need.
'And for a lot of women, the first thing they want is a long, hot shower. Many of them live in surroundings where it's very difficult to have a hot shower…the needs are often very simple, but they're much-appreciated.'
The clothing and shoes in the store are donated by London parishes – and, says Lynda, she's grateful for every cast-off item she can get. She's hoping, too, for even more support in the future. In the three years since Women@thewell opened its doors, hundreds of women have used its facilities – in the first three months of this year alone, she says, more than 140 women came through its doors, with 52 of them new users. What's more, many of the women who come here don't want to register – so the true user numbers are probably far higher than those recorded.
What they find at the refuge – as well as free cups of tea and sandwiches in the cafe – is not only companionship and friendship, and not only clothes and reflexology and counselling and hot showers, but also hope. 'What we want to do,' explains Sister Lynda, 'is help these women get a sense of their own worth. Often, they're people who've never had anything for themselves. We try to help them find some self-esteem: we help them focus on their own abilities and needs. Here they can learn new skills – cooking and arts and crafts for example – and they can have a manicure and have time for acupuncture and reflexology.
'What you realise, when you work with a group like this,' she explains, 'is that one minute these people are kids, under-16s who we as a society want to protect and give to…and the next minute they've crossed the line, become adults, and suddenly we want to criminalise them.''Before they can move on from the lives they're living, they have got to start feeling good about themselves – because they've got to feel they're worth the effort they need to make to build a better life for themselves.
'That's why, more than anything, what we're trying to provide here is a sense of family – people who care for one another, because a lot of these women have never been cared for in their lives.'
Many of the women have had terrible crosses to bear in life, says Sister Lynda. 'Some have lost children; others have had children who've been taken into care.'
And they've all had more to cope with in life than most of us; and what's more, says Sister Lynda, being 'women of the street' comes hard on the heels of being 'children in need'. 'What you realise, when you work with a group like this,' she explains, 'is that one minute these people are kids, under-16s who we as a society want to protect and give to…and the next minute they've crossed the line, become adults, and suddenly we want to criminalise them.'
Sister Lynda realises her work is sensitive, and understands that some may find it controversial: but it is, she's convinced, exactly what her order's founder, Catherine McAuley, would be doing if she was alive today. 'Catherine opened a house for women who had been abused, and all her life she cared about vulnerable women who were exploited,' she explains. 'And that's exactly my concern today. These women have had the odds stacked against them, right from the word go.
'What Women@theWell can do is provide them with a holistic approach to dealing with their problems that helps them find their way out of chaos. It's a long and difficult journey – and often, they may have spells back in chaos, while they're clawing their way out of it. But being alongside them – welcoming them, giving them things that make life worth living and helping them to see that they matter too – can be the turning-point for many.'

Cabinet Cooler Systems: clean, cold air to protect electrical and electronic components housed in an enclosure. Installs in minutes; no moving parts; reliable & maintenance free.
Cold Gun Aircoolant Systems: Direct, focused flow of cold air to replace messy coolant in machining, cutting, drilling, grinding, etc., applications. Integral magnet base for quick & easy installation; single or dual outlet hose kits; standard or High Power to meet any need. Optimized flow for maximum cooling and freeze prevention.
Adjustable Spot Cooler: Similar to the Cold Guns in many ways, but with variable performance for specific applications. Cold air to -30°F (-34°C) on demand.
Mini Cooler: Similar to the Cold Guns and Adjustable Spot Coolers – magnetic base mounting and single or dual outlet hose kits, but more compact. Lower flows for smaller jobs.
High Temperatures: It should come as no surprise that cold air is often needed because a heat-sensitive item is located in a high heat environment.
Vortex Tubes come standard with plastic Generators and Buna o-rings, which are good for ambient temperatures up to 125°F (52°C).
High Temperature Vortex Tubes are fitted with brass Generators and Viton o-rings for environments where the temperature can reach 200°F (93°C).
High Temperature Vortex Tubes are suitable for use in environments up to 200F (93C).
Preset temperature & flow: Many times, the ability to adjust the performance of a Vortex Tube is a big benefit, but occasionally it's a liability.
I know none of your co-workers are like this (nor are mine) but I've heard of people who think they "know better" and are prone to tampering with something that is (or WAS) working just fine, thank you very much.
Perhaps you actually DO know better, through experimentation and experience, the optimal performance setting for your application. Let's say, for example, you install Vortex Tubes on a line of your products, and a technician has to "dial it in" to a specific Cold Fraction.
Any Vortex Tube can be fitted with a drilled orifice (or "Hot Plug") to replace the Hot Valve, which presets performance to a specific, non-adjustable value. If you know the Cold Fraction you need, it's as easy as that. If not, it's as easy as getting a stock Vortex Tube, setting the Cold Fraction where you want it, securing the Hot Valve in position (piece of tape works just fine,) and sending it in.
Preset Vortex Tubes feature a fixed plug, replacing the Hot Valve shown in this picture.
If you've got any other specific requirements – special materials, fittings, custom flow/temperature parameters, etc., give me a call; let's talk.
EXAIR has wrote many different articles about how Vortex Tubes work and the applications in which they are used. The idea of making cold air without any freon or moving parts is a phenomenon. This phenomenon can generate cold air to a temperature as low as -50 oF (-46 oC). In this article, I will explain the adjustment of the Vortex Tube to get different temperatures and cooling effects in reference to the Cold Fraction.
To give a basic background on the EXAIR Vortex Tubes, we manufacture three different sizes; small, medium, and large. These sizes can produce a range of cooling capacities from 135 BTU/hr to 10,200 BTU/hr. The unique design utilizes a generator inside each Vortex Tube. The generator controls the amount of compressed air that can enter into the Vortex Tube. As an example, a medium-sized Vortex Tube, model 3240, will only allow 40 SCFM (1,133 SLPM) of compressed air to travel into the Vortex Tube at 100 PSIG (6.9 bar). While a small-sized Vortex Tube, model 3208, will only allow 8 SCFM (227 SLPM) of compressed air at 100 PSIG (6.9 bar). EXAIR manufactures the most comprehensive range from 2 SCFM (57 SLPM) to 150 SCFM (4,248 SLPM).
EXAIR created a chart to show the temperature drop and rise, relative to the incoming compressed air temperature. Across the top of the chart, we have the Cold Fraction and along the side, we have the inlet air pressure. As you can see, the temperature changes as the Cold Fraction and inlet air pressure changes. As the percentage of the Cold Fraction becomes smaller, the cold air flow becomes colder, but also the air flow becomes less. You may notice that this chart is independent of the Vortex Tube size. So, no matter the generator size of the Vortex Tube that is used, the temperature drop and rise will follow the chart above.
The temperature rise from the chart above is 119 oF. So, with the inlet temperature at 68 oF, we get (119 oF + 68 oF) = 187 oF. At the hot end, we have 16 SCFM of air at a temperature of 187 oF.
With the Cold Fraction and inlet air pressure, you can get specific temperatures for your application. For cooling and heating capacities, these values can be used to calculate the correct Vortex Tube size. If you need help in determining the proper Vortex Tube to best support your application, you can contact an Application Engineer at EXAIR. We will be glad to help.


last month we had a conversation about acceptance, and i'd like to continue it.
maybe there is no either/or between acceptance and making changes.
to accept comes from the latin, meaning to receive (as in "UPS delivered a parcel for you, and i accepted it".) if we agree with that meaning, acceptance is about the past. changing the world (or ourselves, or our marriage, etc.) is about the future.
there is absolutely nothing we can do about the past (assuming, as i will for now, that we use the concepts of past, present and future in the ordinary, linear sense). the sun did shine five minutes ago, and i my father did die on august 21.
acceptance does not equate liking or condoning. i don't have to like the fact that there was a time when i smoked two packs a day. and there is also no point in berating myself for having harmed myself that way, or in lying about it. yes, i used to smoke, sometimes a lot. yes, it made my hand shaky and my friends rolled their eyes when i absolutely had to go out to buy a pack at 11:30 at night. it's not pretty but i accept it – that's what the reality of it was. so there's a strong connection between honesty and acceptance.
a common trap that we fall into in our thinking is when we jump without reflection between what is and what should (ought) be. in philosophy, that has been referred to as the "is/ought" problem (for those of you interested in the more intricate points of why this is referred to as a problem rather than a logical fallacy, see the meatyard). just because i say that yes, teachers used to beat students, and yes, i used to smoke (the "is") does not mean that teachers ought to beat students and people ought to smoke.
from a logical point of view, that makes sense but emotionally it's not that easy. in teaching, childraising, training, psychotherapy and other such tasks we rely heavily on modelling. we want people to look at what is and infer from it what they ought to do. we don't swear in front of our 2-year-olds, and we encourage university students to read biographies – that's modelling.
i believe the trick lies in the reflection. we can go from is to ought. but let's not jump.
let's accept what is, the reality we see right in front of us, as unfiltered as possible.
if you can and want to do something about it, do something.
This entry was posted in emotional health, philosophy and education, the "understanding" series, therapy and tagged acceptance, fatalism, is/ought, philosophy, psychology on October 3, 2009 by isabella mori.
A problem that one could run into is people who have a negative behavior, say "I did (fill in the blank) so it does not matter anymore because (fill in the blank) so no need to change. In effect the past behavior is perpetuated because of acceptance.
On the other hand, acceptance can be liberating, letting go of the energy, moving away from the past and doing what you have control of in the present. Leaving the past where it belongs, and living in the present moment allows you to make decisions not tied to a past behavior and thus making a positive change.
.-= Angelina´s last blog ..Alarming but True =-.
i don't quite understand you regarding the problem that you mention. could you give an example?
.-= isabella mori (@moritherapy)´s last blog ..understanding acceptance =-.
for example, a smoker might say, "I know someone who lived well into their eighties and smoked two packs a day." Thus this gives them the justification they need to continue smoking. In effect accepting their current behavior as reasonable.
I'm not sure if I am being clear. To put it another way, we almost need to understand that the behavior either in the past or present is destructive either to one's self or to others before a positive change is possible.
I agree, when you say "let's accept what is, the reality we see right in front of us, as unfiltered as possible." The question becomes whose reality?
Hi Isabella, I really like the distinction between accepting the past and making choices for our future.
I'd be interested if you have more to say about the move from the is to the ought. This is a big one for me. What is, it seems to me, does have limitations – and so sets a limit on what is possible. Does what is possible limit the ought? If I can't do something does this mean that the ought has no claim on me. (Leaving aside, for the moment and perhaps illegitimately, how we establish what is possible). This is quite a tangle for me; I would like to hear anything you have to say.
.-= Evan´s last blog ..How to be Productive and Still be Kind to Yourself =-.
a smoker might say, "I know someone who lived well into their eighties and smoked two packs a day." Thus this gives them the justification they need to continue smoking.
the problem, i'd say, lies in the "thus". this is exactly the problem of jumping from the "is" (this is what happened) to the "ought" (therefore that is what SHOULD happen). what i'm saying (and what david hume said when he first pointed this out) is that there is nothing intrinnsic that forces us to jump from the "is" to the "ought".
when you say "whose reality" – i think in this context it may not matter so much. "this guy lived well into his eighties and yet smoked like a chimney" is a statement that was made in such a way as to imply that that statement was believed to be true (ie reality).
@evan, i hope i understand you – can we use this as an example?
which brings up the question – are we talking about the "could" or the "ought", or is it the sequence – is – could – ought?
I think part of it is the nuance of the word "accept". In my lexicon, it does connote an "and I'm ok with it" sense. So I cannot accept the Residential Schools, for example. I can acknowledge that they existed, but will go to my grave with the tension of inwardly resisting that they existed. Is that a wasted energy? Or maybe it's healthy to carry that tension?
.-= nancy (aka moneycoach)´s last blog ..Econ 101: First the music industry. Then the media. Now, watches? =-.
@nancy i would ask, how are you making the world a better place by saying they should not have existed?
.-= isabella mori´s last blog ..understanding acceptance =-.
Hi Isabella, yes I'm asking about the 'could' and it's ethical status and the relationship between it and the is and the ought. You put it well – better than I did.
The bigger question I guess is how this move occurs and does this is affect the ought. I find there are a cluster of difficult issues (for me) here.
1. When discussing it with First Nations people, I express my regret that they experienced it. I believe and hope that that is validating of their pain.
2. And, I hope it keeps alive for me an emotional commitment towards "never again".
.-= nancy (aka moneycoach)´s last blog ..The Sky is Falling on Traditional Media. I'm getting anxious. =-.
I think this is a really important concept – to be really clear what it means to accept something (the is v the should/should not).
Putting energy into 'not accepting something' is often fighting with reality (I fight the 'is'). It happened / is happening – that is the reality and if I don't agree that it is reality then I'm going to get stressed in some way (angry, guilty, whatever).
Much better to put my energy into closing the gap between what is and what I would like to happen. I don't like 'should' as it implies there's something 'wrong' with reality. I prefer to say I'd prefer something different.
@Nancy – I don't know who First Nation people are or what Residential Schools are but it sounds like you do agree (or accept) that they exist/existed. You'd have strongly preferred that they didn't, feel sad about the pain they caused and that you'd really like to make sure it doesn't happen again?

'An obsolete romantic'
Laura Gascoigne
In 1982 Sven Berlin placed a sealed wallet labelled 'Testament' on top of a rafter in his studio with instructions for it not to be opened before his 100th birthday on 14 September 2011. Inside was a key to the identities of the characters in his notorious roman à clef about post-war St Ives, The Dark Monarch, published 20 years earlier and immediately withdrawn after four of those characters sued for libel. None of them was a major artistic figure and by today's standards the libels were laughable, but Berlin's exposure of the petty politics behind the St Ives idyll — which he later compared to 'going for a bathe and swimming into a shoal of barracudas' — caused permanent damage to his artistic career.
A self-taught sculptor who had dropped out of art school to partner his first wife Helga as an 'adagio' dancer on the music-hall circuit, Berlin was more attuned to the Primitivism of early Epstein and Gaudier-Brzeska than to the formal abstraction of Nicholson and Hepworth that came to dominate the St Ives School. In 1950 he resigned from the Penwith Society of Artists in resentment at the rejection of his figurative carvings by a hanging committee which, he felt, regarded him as a throwback, 'a drunken helot and …an obsolete romantic always getting into fights, cutting huge boulders of stone into the night'.
Like that other piratical autodidact Paul Gauguin, Berlin responded to rejection by making a grand exit into self-imposed exile. In 1953 he departed for the New Forest in a horse-drawn gypsy wagon with second wife Juanita, new baby Jasper and three children from previous marriages. After a punishing first winter camping in the Forest alongside the gypsies of Shave Green, the family upgraded to a collection of huts in a rented field, then a wooden chalet and finally a farmhouse at Emery Down, where Berlin grew into the role of great British bohemian.
In the 1950s he showed with Epstein and Frink in Davies & Tooth's exhibitions of Important Contemporaries; in 1960 John Boorman made a film about him for the BBC. But today his art is largely forgotten, and it has fallen to the enterprising St Barbe Art Gallery in Lymington to celebrate his centenary — and the unsealing of the testament — with an exhibition of 60 works. A republished edition of The Dark Monarch, complete with key, is on sale in the gallery shop.
Three ages of Sven Berlin are represented in three self-portraits hanging at the exhibition entrance. 'Shah of Persia' (1938) shows the penniless young artist defying the Cornish cold with a patchwork tea cosy on his head and an empty teapot in his hand. 'Self-portrait in a Shadow' (1955) gives us the New Forest artist with brush and palette in his makeshift 'paint shop', slatted sunlight falling across the burgundy dressing-gown given him by his neighbour Augustus John. 'Self-portrait: Enough – Too much!' (1995) portrays the octogenarian artist with bright white beard, blue cap, scarlet waistcoat and harlequin scarf against an orange background; the quote from Blake's Proverbs of Hell he is inscribing on a canvas refers to his arthritis but could equally refer to his palette. In mid-career Berlin adopted the Matthew Smith recipe of juicy paint and rich complementaries, but unlike Smith he was not a colourist. What he was — again unlike Smith — was a fabulous draughtsman.
The show includes several wonderful pen-and-wash drawings, some of the best dating from the war. A self-portrait sketch of 1944 made during the Battle of Verlo records the artist's sunken features on the eve of the breakdown that saw him invalided out with shellshock. A subsequent drawing in livid washes of puce and olive evokes the queasy interior of the 'Hospital Train' (1945) en route to the military hospital in the Midlands where 'like fallen statues from a lost civilisation we were repaired and set on our feet again'.
The fallen statue metaphor is apposite, for as this Bomberg-like drawing reveals, Berlin sees in 3D. Even when dashing off an impromptu watercolour portrait such as 'Gypsy Mother & Child' (1956) he communicates a sense of mass, and his pencil drawing of daughter 'Janet (Greta) Berlin' (1961) combines Matisse's linear panache with Augustus John's genius for portraiture, as a photograph in the catalogue proves. The best painting in the show is also a portrait, this time of stepson Will Fisher (1960) as a sulky teenager against a patterned backdrop reminiscent of the Omega Workshop. It's Bloomsbury with balls.
Berlin thought real artists worked in three dimensions — 'the others live a Picasso-faced existence with a flatfish vision'— but I preferred his monotype of a 'Plaice' (1948) to most of the sculptures in the exhibition. Although the marble 'Sleeping Man' (1949) can hold his own in the company of Epstein and Gaudier, I sympathised with the Penwith's rejection of 'Mermaid & Angel' (1948), a maudlin riff on Rodin with a giant Epstein foot.
Berlin's pen was mightier than his chisel. His friend Robert Graves's comment on The Dark Monarch, that too much of its heat and power 'goes roaring up the chimney, instead of heating the room', could also be applied to his oil painting, but his marvellously vivid drawings are still warm.

Encyclopedia > British Army
The British Army is the land armed forces of the United Kingdom.
In contrast to the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force the British Army does not include royal in its title, because of its roots as a collection of disparate units.

The Founding of the Army
Before the English Civil War, the army was raised as required by the King, who would warrant gentlemen to raise companies, this being a direct throwback to the feudal concept of fief where a lord had to raise a certain quota of knights, men at arms[?] and yeomanry[?]. The only difference up to this point in time being that raising companies without a warrant could be considered treasonable (whereas feudal lords could raise their fief to fight each other).
After the civil war, parliament assumed control of the Army, and standing companies based on Cromwells New Model Army formed the concept of the first regiments. Cromwell's companies did not yet assume the unique names that came later to be associated with British Army Regiments, instead they would name their companies after psalms or biblical phrases, or were often identified with the gentleman who had raised the company, eg Monck's Regiment of Foot. This particular unit is notable because after the end of the civil war it was barracked in London, and was involved in defending parliment when it voted for the restoration, this unit is now known as the Coldstream Guards.
With the Restoration of Charles II the concept of standing regiments found favour with the King. As well as retaining some existing loyal standing units, he raised his own, one of the first being the First or Grenadier Regiment of Foot Guards, nowadays shortened to Grenadier Guards[?]. On Jan 26th 1661 Charles II issued the warrant that officially founded the British Army.
The oldest surviving regiment in the British Army is the Honourable Artillery Company (given a royal charter in 1537), now a Territorial Army[?] unit. It is not considered the most senior, however, because it fought on the side of Parliament in the Civil War and so didn't have unbroken service to the crown. This honour instead goes to the Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers[?], which was founded in 1539. The oldest surviving regular unit is the Royal Scots[?], founded in 1633.

CityPlace dog owner launches petition against condo pet ban
By Francine KopunCity Hall Bureau
Tues., Aug. 13, 2019timer3 min. read
Pet owners at CityPlace are fighting back against a ban on new animals in two of the condominium towers in the development, located north of Lake Shore Blvd. W. near Spadina Ave.
"We believe the ban can set a really dangerous precedent," said Jen Fischer, who has launched a petition to challenge the rule, passed in 2016 by the Harbour View Estates condo board that oversees 3 Navy Wharf Crt. and 5 Mariner Terrace.
Residents were required last year to register their existing pets at the management office. This month, signs went up reminding owners that no new pets are being permitted in the buildings, and unregistered pets must be removed.
The rule covers cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents and birds.
Fischer said she had to find a new home for a dog she was fostering, although her own pet is registered and can stay.
"We thought it was a dog-inclusive, pet-friendly facility," said Fischer, pointing out that the two buildings have a dog run. She has started a petition as part of an attempt to reverse the rule.
Michael Spears, a lawyer representing the condo corporation, wrote in an email that there is a procedure under the Condo Act "authorizing the board of directors to pass a rule to promote the welfare of the owners and to prevent interference with the use and enjoyment of the units and common elements."
Such rules, he said, become effective 30 days after notice is given, unless the board receives a requisition (official order) signed by a minimum of 15 per cent of the unit owners requesting a meeting to discuss. Unit owners were sent notice in July 2016, but the pet rule was deferred until August 2018. No requisition was received and so it went into effect, he added.
"Once a rule has been validly passed, the board has a statutory duty under the act to enforce the rule," Spears wrote. "The board has not seen or received any 'new' petition concerning the Pet Rule and until it does, no further comment can be provided."
Fischer and others says there is a deep divide at CityPlace between dog owners and residents who don't own dogs. In April, CityPlace made the news after a video of a heated exchange between dog owners and a resident was posted to the community's Facebook page.
"The tension between dog owners and non-dog owners at City Place is long-standing and cuts across the entire community," says Gary Pieters, president of the CityPlace Residents' Association.
"Obviously there is strong feeling from both sides," he said.
While irresponsible pet owners are a minority, Pieters has heard complaints of dogs loose in areas where children play and of dogs urinating and defecating in common areas.
"Those might be exceptions but they still create tensions," he said.
Pieters said the policy was adopted in 2016 by the condo corporation, but implementation was delayed for a year and enforcement did not begin until recently. Pieters said that in 2016 some residents tried to gather enough signatures to call a meeting to challenge the rule, but did not garner enough support.
Dean Maher, who is running for the Green party in Spadina-Fort York in the upcoming federal election, said there are other ways the condo board could have policed problem dogs without having to resort to a ban — including following up with offenders caught on security cameras. Some condos even keep records of dog DNA and use to it track the owners of dogs who don't clean up after their canine companions, Maher said.
"There are other tools. I just don't understand why people would take such an extreme measure," said Maher, who sold his unit at CityPlace this spring, after 16 years of ownership.
"It's unbelievable such a policy would exist. It infringes on the definition of a family in Toronto, in a city where there is increasing loneliness and more people living alone."
Condominiums can create rules restricting the number of pets, but are not permitted to prohibit pets entirely unless it's part of the condo's declaration — also known as the master deed — that establishes the existence of the condo and governs the use and maintenance of the property, according to Josh Milgrom, an associate at Lash Condo Law.
"Rules have to be reasonable to be valid and enforceable," he said.
Milgrom said if pet owners fail to persuade the board to overturn the decision, they could also resort to the courts.
"A rule prohibiting pets entirely is something that does seem questionable," Milgrom said.

3 of the "Deadliest" Lakes are in New York State
Jonah Published: December 8, 2022
Jumbo2021/JUN DONG/PEDRE/mycola via Canva
"Don't go in the water"; it's not just the catchphrase from Jaws, but a fitting warning about several lakes in our state. Out of the ten deadliest bodies of water in the entire country, three are in New York.
The Deadliest Lakes in New York
Each local lake is dangerous for a different reason, and none of them are the lake's fault. While bodies of water like Lake Michigan and Lake Mead have record numbers of drownings, New York has pollution, toxic plants, and terrifying carnivorous creatures to deal with instead.

Lake Champlain's Creepy Secret
Lake Champlain, which we share with Vermont and Canada, is hiding something under the surface that is straight out of a horror movie. An parasitic sea lamprey species (above) now inhabits the lake, and allegedly, it's hungry for more than plants and fish. While they generally "attach to fish, puncture the skin, and drain the fish's body fluids", there was a (non-confirmed) report of a swimmer being bitten in 2018.

Pollution in Onondoga Lake
In the 1800s, Onongaga Lake in Central New York was a pristine swimming destination. Then the factories game. Industrial pollution of the lake meant that by 1940, it wasn't safe for people to swim, and in 1970, it was deemed unsafe to fish as well. While massive cleanup efforts have helped (fishing was reinstated in the 1980s), you are still advised to keep your tootsies out of the water.

The "Dead Zone" in Lake Erie
Lake Erie, one of the majestic Great Lakes, has a deadly problem. Every year, famed toxic algae blooms not only prevent swimmers from enjoying the water, but causes a massive "dead zone" in the lake itself. The algae can cover over 6,000 square miles of the lake, blocking out sunlight and removing the oxygen that fish and other lake inhabitants need to live.
These lakes may have issues, but here's the good news: there are almost 8,000 bodies of water in New York, and most of them aren't trying to kill you. Let's start with one that comes with your very own lakeside mansion below.

In Therapy with Nathan Cusson
After a successful premiere at the Hudson Guild Theatre, Anthony J. Piccione's A Therapy Session with Myself, his controversial, semi-autobiographical drama about living with mental illness and Asperger's syndrome – is enjoying an open-end run at the cutting-edge Kraine Theatre on the same block as New York Theatre workshop, KGB, and LaMama ETC. atswm.brownpapertickets.com.
We're all big fans of Piccione, here at Five Star Arts Journals so we're following his career and subsequently this play … all the way through 2020!
A Therapy Session with Myself tells the story of Alex Grayson, a young college student and aspiring writer living with severe social anxiety, depression, and Asperger's syndrome. During the summer before his senior year, he receives a mysterious visit from "himself", a human incarnation of his inner consciousness. As they interact, Alex is forced to reflect on his own flaws and personality quirks, as well as some of the darkest and most painful memories of his adolescence, while also pondering the question of whether or not he can overcome his inner demons, and ultimately build a brighter future for himself.
We discussed the creative process with his creative cast – first up: Nathan Cusson is thrilled to be performing in A Therapy Session with Myself for his Off-Broadway debut! Born and raised in Willimantic, CT, Nathan runs the gamut of titles under his name in his arts journey … director, AD, producer, writer, and actor.
What did you tap into in creating your character?
There were definitely a number of unique elements that I tapped into to develop this performance. I felt there were three predominant elements that really informed my process. First was having the chance to know and speak directly to the playwright directly. Over the past handful of months, Anthony and I have only grown closer through our professional and personal lives. Seeing as it was a semi-autobiographical piece, it really felt like a once in a life time chance to know the character personally. Besides, how could I not talk to Anthony! *insert playful chuckle here* But seriously though, we're basically best friends now. The second would be having the chance to see three different interpretations of the role being developed and performed before crafting my specific take. Lastly, before Anthony, I've had various personal relationships with people who also fell on the spectrum. Each were different from the last and I felt it gave me a stronger scope of what I wanted to do and say by taking this role. Ultimately, the point of crafting a character is to achieve a certain level of storytelling and with a topic such as autism, it's important to realize representation matters. I felt honored to be trusted in being offered the role and seeing as I've never had the diagnoses myself, I felt I would be doing the world, and even more-so, Anthony a huge disservice by misrepresenting people with atypical neurology. So the pressure was on, to say the least. In hindsight, I wouldn't want it any other way. Of course, the continued development will never stop with a show with this long a run!
How do you gauge your audience? (Are they "getting it" and what do you do if they're not?)
Well, they listen and respond and there's a bit of me that also listens and responds. I try not to alter the character in anyway if I don't feel they're not understanding or 'with' the show. With a piece like this, people aren't expected to know what it's like to have the condition. While I've done the work an actor would to prepare myself for the role, there are aspects of this character that I know I will never truly comprehend. It wouldn't make sense to think everyone will 'get it' and I would daresay worse to try to adjust what the performance is to get a message across. So it comes back to a pretty universal concept of being honest and true to what you know of the character and present your work shameless. Maintain what you worked on and, if you missed the target completely, then learn and try again.
Is there something special or different you find you need to do in creating your role as you will be doing it periodically for the next year.
I suppose dropping character outside of performances is a bit of a difficultly for me as there's a lot of physical quirks I've tried implementing in the character. I visited my family just this past month and mom kept noticing 'This thing you're doing with your mouth.' I noticed it as well and I realized this is probably the most I felt physical development of a character would only inform and strengthen the show. So this time around, a larger sense of separating performance and personal life was a bit more of a challenge.
How does this play help you as an actor?
I would like to think that working on this project has allowed growth as an artist and person in ways that I was not expecting. It definitely gave me a sense of community the moment I moved into this strange and unfamiliar city, it allowed me to seriously consider my own experiences with the show's content, and gave me continued inspiration to write out my own personal narrative.
What's it like having a living author of a play with autobiographical moments right there in the theater.
As before mentioned, I felt the pressure. It's the obvious truth about the show, there are moments in the show that come dangerously close to past memories that are triggering to his life. I was never told 'do this like it happened' or 'that's not right' by him. Additionally, the director was always allotted final say in terms of definitive decisions which polarized the show and allowed it to to be as subjective as it could be. He would always offer answers to questions and added a level of insight that is unmistakable. And there's never really a 'right' way to create a show. It's fucking art! At the end of the day, we were a bunch of people from different walks of life, made choices, and told the story together. And that's what I love about it.

COVID-19: North Korea INTENSIFIED Anti-Epidemic Measures - KCNA
As the country is yet to officially report any confirmed case of the coronavirus pandemic on its territory, North Korea as steadily step-up preventive measures in all the regions and units of the DPRK against the widespread malignant virus infection that comes to be a world disaster.
According to the State official news agency KCNA, the Non-Permanent Central Public Health Guidance Committee are reviewing some deviations in the state emergency anti-epidemic work through regular teleconference on the state emergency anti-epidemic activities and taking necessary measures in time.
"The emergency anti-epidemic headquarters at all levels are intensifying the control and guidance on quarantine, lock-down, inspection and sterilization to thoroughly check the inroads of COVID-19 while making exact demands for preventing any factors that may lead to other infectious diseases at the turn of the seasons."
"Officials of the Party and power organs, working people's organizations and in the field of public health and hygienic and anti-epidemic work across the country are intensifying the hygienic information service, medical observation, education and control to let the working people and residents keep a high sense of awareness and consistency in action with utmost care."
"The Ministry of Public Health has established the state emergency anti-epidemic information system and stockpiled materials necessary for emergency anti-epidemic work to the maximum while actively pushing ahead with the development of vaccine against the virus.
"As positive state efforts are being directed to agriculture, preventive measures are being taken for the people aiding farming.
"Officials across the country are taking strict measures to stop the inroads of any other new dangerous epidemics into the country in the emergency anti-epidemic period in cooperation with the hygienic and anti-epidemic organs."

Local Businesses Reopen With Restrictions
clipartart.com
Danielle Dentremont, Online Managing Editor
Massachusetts citizens have been anxiously awaiting May 18—the date to which the state's stay-at-home order was extended—for Governor Charlie Baker's debrief on plans to reopen amidst the coronavirus pandemic. Baker took on a more optimistic, yet cautious, tone on Monday as he announced the state's transition into the first phase of the four phase plan intended to gradually reopen businesses across the state.
The beginning stages of phase one became effective on May 18 and include: the resumption of construction and manufacturing as well as services in houses of worship. Attendance in houses of worship is to be limited to 40 percent capacity. Resuming both of the aforementioned activities for a prolonged period of time is contingent upon the continued practice of proper social distancing and the avoidance of a spike in COVID-19 cases.
On May 25, office spaces, hair salons, barbershops and retail stores can reopen with some restrictions. Office spaces in Boston will not be permitted to open until June 1 and retail stores will be required to provide curbside pick-up, as opposed to in-store shopping. Likewise, strict regulations have been set for hair salons and barbershops: chairs must be arranged at least six feet apart; workers must wear gloves, gowns or smocks and some form of protective eye-covering; everyone present must wear a face-covering; each customer must be given a clean cape to wear throughout the appointment; non-essential amenities, such as magazines must be removed.
"No activity in Hair Salons or Barbershops shall occur without meeting these sector specific COVID-19 workplace safety standards for Hair Salons and Barbershops. These standards apply to all Hair Salons and Barbershops until rescinded or amended by the State. The owner of the Hair Salon or Barbershop shall be responsible for meeting these standards," the official website of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Mass.gov, stated.
Some local businesses set to reopen to some capacity on May 25 are: Salon Beni, Dynasty Barber Shop, Joe's Barber Shop, East Street Salon, Advanced Skin Care and Hair Removal Center and more.
Hopefully, Massachusetts will progress into the second stage of reopening, which will arrive—at earliest—three weeks after the initiation of phase one. However, such a progression is dependent upon the current trends of decreases in hospitalizations and positive COVID-19 tests continuing.
"If public health data trends are negative, specific industries, regions, and/or the entire Commonwealth may need to return to an earlier phase," Mass.gov stated.
Phase two would usher in the reopening of retail businesses, restaurants and nail salons. Next, phase three will allow businesses geared towards entertainment—gyms, bars and casinos—to open. Finally, phase four is intended to establish a new normal as activities in large venues will be able to resume.
The framework for the four phases was constructed to establish an equilibrium between economic benefits and minimizing public health risk. The earlier stages yield high economic benefits and pose minimal public health risk, assuming that guidelines are followed strictly and prove effective. Nonetheless, face masks will likely linger for the foreseeable future even as local communities restore their routines.

Q: Firebase web realtime database stiring user id as undefined I have a create user and login authentication setup with firebase realtime database. I have a user field in my database where I will store user data. However, I would like to create a child element under the user field that is the user id then the user information can be displayed under that child.
So far I have tried to create such a field with this:
import { initializeApp } from "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/9.13.0/firebase-app.js";
import { getDatabase, set, ref, update } from "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/9.13.0/firebase-database.js";
import { getAuth, createUserWithEmailAndPassword, signInWithEmailAndPassword, onAuthStateChanged, signOut} from "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/9.13.0/firebase-auth.js";

//Signup section
signup.addEventListener('click',(e) => {
    var username = document.getElementById('signup-user').value;
    var email = document.getElementById('signup-email').value;
    var schoolID = document.getElementById('signup-id').value;
    var password = document.getElementById('signup-pwd').value;

        createUserWithEmailAndPassword(auth, email, password, schoolID)
            .then((userCredential) => {
                // Signed in
                const user = userCredential.user;

                update(ref(database, "user/" +user.id),{
                    username: username,
                    schoolID: schoolID,
                    email: email
                })
                alert('User Created!');
                // ...
            })
            .catch((error) => {
                const errorCode = error.code;
                const errorMessage = error.message;

                alert('Error please try again');
                // ..
            });
    });

But it only gives me an undefined field in my realtime database:

Not only that but it overwrites the previous entry every time a make an new user.

A: userCredential.user is a User type object, which is a subclass of UserInfo.  As you can see from the linked API documentation, User doesn't have an property called id.  It will always be undefined.
What you want instead is uid.
update(ref(database, "user/" + user.uid), {...})

Job Satisfaction High, but Employees Not Content with Pay or Workplace Trust Level
SHRM survey finds differences between men and women, executives and the rank-and-file
dana.wilkie@shrm.org
By Dana Wilkie April 24, 2017
CHICAGO—Nearly 9 in 10 employees say they're satisfied overall with their jobs, with workers noting that respectful treatment of employees—at all levels—is the leading contributor to satisfaction, according to the Society for Human Resource Management's (SHRM's) Employee Job Satisfaction and Engagement Survey.
Women—more than men—say respectful treatment at work is a very important component of job satisfaction. Millennials—more than members of Generation X—say they are very satisfied with the level of respect at work. Employees who aren't in management are far less likely than executives to be satisfied with the respect shown to all workers.
"Fairness and transparency are significant themes that repeatedly appeared throughout the top job satisfaction contributors and employee engagement," said Evren Esen, SHRM director of workforce analytics. "This indicates the importance of these concepts when creating a workplace culture that thrives and inspires continuous success."
The survey, released April 24, polled 600 randomly selected U.S. employees in December 2016. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.
[SHRM members-only toolkit: Developing and Sustaining Employee Engagement]
Eighty-nine percent of employees said they were satisfied overall with their jobs (38 percent reported being very satisfied and 51 percent somewhat satisfied).
SHRM has observed similar levels of employee job satisfaction in recent years: In its 2014 survey, it found that a combined 86 percent of respondents were satisfied at work; in 2015, it found that a combined 88 percent were.
Respect in the Workplace
For the third year in a row, the largest percentage of respondents (65 percent) said that respectful treatment of employees at all levels was a very important contributor to their job satisfaction.
However, there were clear differences among workers when it came to this aspect:
Female employees (72 percent) were more likely to report this as a very important contributor to job satisfaction than male employees (57 percent) were.
A greater proportion of Millennials (45 percent) were very satisfied with this aspect compared with members of Generation X (31 percent).
Individual contributors (31 percent) were less likely to be very satisfied with the level of respect shown to all employees compared with executives (52 percent).
Other top contributors to job satisfaction were compensation/pay, the trust between employees and senior management, job security, and opportunities to use skills and abilities.
However, the survey found a significant gap when it came to some of the factors that workers cited as being important to their satisfaction—and their actual experiences with their employer.
For instance, when it comes to compensation, there was a 35-percentage-point discrepancy between those who believed it was important for job satisfaction, and those who were actually satisfied with their compensation.
There was also a 28-percentage-point gap between those who said it was important to have trust between employees and senior managers, and those who were content with the level of trust between the two.

Turf Paradise Derby, Oaks Featured Saturday
Three-year-olds, looking to polish their resumes, will be featured in the $50,000 Turf Paradise Derby and $30,000 Arizona Oaks Saturday at Turf Paradise.
The 'Derby,' which will be run at 1 1.16 mile, attracted a field of nine and will be run as the seventh race on the eight-race card.. The Oaks, which also drew the same size field, will be run at one mile and will go as the fifth race. Post time will be 12:55 pm.
A one-horse race the Derby is not. But it's Santa Anita shipper Mr Larson's race to lose. Mr. Larson is the only two-time winner among the entrants.
The Doug O'Neill-trained Mr. Larson has been facing tougher company in the southern California circuit. O'Neill, who won this race in 2013 with Persuasive Paul, has the son of Tiznow, a $110,000 Fasig Tipton yearling purchase, well spotted to enhance his credentials.
Trainer Dan McFarlane, a two time Derby winner, last year and 2013, has four entered. Of the four, Factored In and He's' Munnie appear to have the best chance.
The Oaks is a more wide-open affair, although Galactic Princess, winner of three of four efforts, will certainly invite attention after her impressive victory in the Arizona Juvenile Stakes. She won that effort in a very mature fashion, considering she was then just a 2-year-old
Peach Pike was noteworthy in winning her maiden debut by nearly five lengths Jan. 17. And McKenzie Honey, winner of three of seven efforts including two stakes, returns after a two-month refresher.

What makes the NATRUE Label special?
Primavera (Germany), Beauty Garden (France), Hej Organic (Germany), Life & Pursuits (India), Natural Cosmetics Naturkosmetik (Germany) , ÜBERWOOD (Germany), Vedic Aroma (Switzerland).
Hand-in-hand with increasing global demand for natural and organic cosmetic products, we are witnessing consumers gravitating towards ever more conscious and ethical purchases. Mindful consumption is a megatrend in 2019, and one whose impact has spread across the entire cosmetic industry; far wider than just the natural cosmetic sector. Conscious consumerism covers all aspects including information on where an ingredient was sourced, how it is made and by who, and its impact on the environment. Consumers are looking at the whole picture from the field to the packaging that surrounds the product.
As the demand grows for more 'all natural', 'eco/sustainable' and 'non-GMO' or 'organic' products we still see many interpretations or 'shades of green'. A key message for the presence of the international non-profit association in 2019 is NATRUE's continued action to tackle the underlying need for better regulation when it comes to claims related to 'natural' and 'organic' - to level the playing field; to assist consumer's trust; to promote the authenticity; to boost integrity for future market growth; to define the scope of product innovation. Consumer demands can be better met provided that there is better distinction between natural and bio-inspired products coupled with reduced fragmentation in the market.
• Native speaker or very high proficiency on both English and German. Additional languages an advantage (IT, FR, others).
NATRUE offer an international work environment in a small and enthusiast team, providing the possibility of professional development in the international non-profit. A full-time position (part-time can be discussed) is anticipated with competitive remuneration.
Dr Mark Smith, Director General of NATRUE, has been voted No.12 in this year's 'Who's Who in Natural Beauty', published in the autumn issue of Natural Beauty News. Editor Rosie Greenaway commented: "This year's Who's Who is proof of a solidarity I witness every day in our industry - a shared vision for beauty which is being championed by pioneers and newcomers alike. Of course, each finalist will celebrate their individual successes, and rightly so, but to see so many prominent names working synergistically to advance the market is truly heart-warming. It's evidence of what a progressive time this is for the sector - mainstream beauty had better watch its back!"
On hearing the news Mark commented: ""It is a proud moment to receive the news that NATRUE is once again in the Natural Beauty Top 25 for the third year! NATRUE was created to protect the authenticity of natural and organic cosmetics, and in being selected we would like to thank all those who expressed their interest, who voted, who promote transparency daily, and in doing so salute those who share an unbridled passion for our beloved sector as we do."
The Top 25 provides an overview of the prominent figures and innovators who are shaping and leading the UK's natural beauty industry, all voted for by their industry peers. The list includes founders of beauty brands, manufacturers, bloggers and influencers, writers, distributors and make-up artists who all champion natural and organic cosmetics on a daily basis.
About NATRUE: NATRUE is an international non-profit organisation located in Brussels. It has promoted and protected authentic natural and organic cosmetics since October 2007. The NATRUE label sets a high standard which guarantees quality and integrity, so consumers worldwide can identify and enjoy natural cosmetics truly worthy of that name. All certified products are listed on a public database accessible at www.natrue.org which can be used as a check list if you want to confirm whether a product is natural or organic.
NATRUE is a sponsor of the event and actively participating to the two days. In particular Dr. Mark Smith, Director General of NATRUE will be moderating part of the Session 2 on "Green Materials" and the panel discussion on 6th November 2018 at 16.15-17.55.
For the first time, the summit will discuss the disruptive influence of new technologies on cosmetic formulations and marketing. New approaches to produce and extract active ingredients will be covered, as well as new technologies that provide traceability and transparency for raw materials. The prospects for artificial intelligence in the beauty industry will be explored. An update will be given on the growing array of green materials making their way into cosmetic & personal care formulations. Details will be given of new botanical actives, as well as ingredients from food side streams. With growing concerns about air pollution and blue light radiation, natural ingredients for environmental protection will be introduced.
Co-hosted with the Summit, the Sustainability Beauty Award winners will be announced with brands from all over the world competing for the five prestigious categories including products, packaging, ingredients, pioneering activities and leadership. In 2017, NATRUE was delighted to celebrate the NATRUE certified brands Alteya Organics from Bulgaria who won the Sustainable Beauty Award in the category Green Formulation, and Trilogy Advanced Natural Skincare who was runner-up for the same category.
Global NOC brand leaders and NATRUE founders Weleda, Dr Hauschka, Lavera, Primavera and Logocos were amongst the first to carry the NATRUE seal on their products, and over the past decade these pioneers have been joined by many more new up-and-coming brands. As of June 2018, more than 6,000 NATRUE certified products are now available on the market, from approximatively 230 committed brands, with more in the pipeline!
The NATRUE Label represents trust and authenticity, setting the standard that a true natural and organic cosmetic should be. It's a global seal, instantly recognisable wherever you are in the world - with brands from 32 different countries, from the USA to Japan and throughout the European market.
For the consumer, the seal provides instant clarification whether a natural and organic cosmetic is truly worthy of that name, and that it is of the highest quality. Moreover, consumer confidence in the NATRUE seal is clear and combined worldwide consumer sales attributable to products carrying the NATRUE logo exceed 1 billion euros.
Strictness and transparency: what makes the NATRUE Label the choice of market leaders?
The NATRUE Label offers a guarantee that those brands using it are committed to fighting greenwashing, both for ingredients and finished products. The NATRUE criteria have achieved this by setting clear requirements for a product's contents, its naturalness or organic credentials, and by focusing on authenticity, transparency and clarity - not ambiguity.
The NATRUE Label guarantees a meaningful standard for natural and organic cosmetics. The requirements of the NATRUE Label mean that certified products cannot contain mineral oils, silicones, GMOs, microbeads, synthetic fragrances, artificial preservatives such as parabens, as well as setting requirements for the biodegradability of certain ingredients to protect the environment, and a global ban on the use of its seal on products where animal testing is required. Thanks to this strictness and transparency, the NATRUE Label is a market leader for certified natural and organic cosmetics with the highest number of certified products.
Dr. Mark Smith, General Director of NATRUE, commented: "Now, more than 10 years after the founding of the NATRUE Label and the establishment of its criteria, we are delighted to celebrate the proud milestone of 6,000 certified products. This milestone is unquestionably a testament to the dedication and commitment of all our partners on this journey. Our goal remains clear: authenticity and transparency is key to consumer confidence and market growth. We will continue to raise awareness of natural skin care, and to protect and promote this internationally".
Over the last decade, the Natural and Organic Cosmetics sector has significantly grown and we can clearly see the potential for this trend to persist in future with the rising focus on conscious and ethical consumerism. A crucial factor is to maintain consumer trust for sectoral growth. This can only happen through transparency; meaning all those involved must be proactive in their commitment to eliminate greenwashing to deliver the authenticity consumers demand.
This is why NATRUE was created by its founders - to protect and promote the sector - and why from day one our mission has been to work closely with the numerous stakeholders, including the EU institutions, for the benefit of the NOC sector and the consumers of our beloved products.
Plastic pollution is an ever-growing environmental issue which is estimated up to 13 million tonnes of plastic waste ending up into the ocean each year. At an EU level, the European Commission has adopted a wide strategy targeting plastic waste last January, and aims to make all packaging in the EU market recyclable by 2030. Furthermore, the consumption of disposal plastic will be reduced and an intentional use of microplastics will be restricted according to the European commission press release.
Recently a number of countries have begun to adopt legislation, and the European cosmetics industry has generated initiatives to significantly reduce microplastic impact. Yet, since its creation 10 years ago the NATRUE Label criteria has always prohibited the use of microplastics, as well as setting requirements for packaging and disposable carrier materials like wet wipes; always having in mind to reach better sustainability practices.
Being attentive to a high-quality standard for natural and organic cosmetics products, the NATRUE Label's authenticity reflects not only what is on the inside but aims to minimise the environmental impact of what is outside too.
In addition of to this end, packaging is something that has been taken with particular attention in the NATRUE criteria over the years.
Lowering waste and reducing environmental impact, as well as respect for sustainable biodiversity, are concerns that motivate NATRUE's commitment to guarantee the vital continuity of high quality natural and organic beauty products. Aside from the NATRUE label, NATRUE's dedication to the sector extends to its research activity. In 2017, NATRUE joined the EU-funded project URBIOFIN, aiming to transform and valorise Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) into new products with high industrial interests including cosmetic packaging for a sustainable future.
Together we can beat plastic pollution!
NATRUE is a supporting association for the event and actively participating during the two days. In particular Dr. Mark Smith, Director General of NATRUE, will be taking part in the panel discussion "Private and International Regulations – maximising the green impact" from 12:20 to 13:20 on Day 1 - Thursday 31st May. Mr. Sven Gehrig will also join the panel as a representative from one of the NATRUE founder member companies, WALA GmbH (Dr Hauschka, Germany).
On Day 2, Mrs. Jayn Sterland, from NATRUE member Weleda UK, will open the event with a talk on "Conscious beauty: pioneering sustainability in today's cosmetics business" (09:25-09:50 am) and close this year's edition of the Sustainability & Naturals in Cosmetics with "The future of sustainable cosmetics – what is next?" (03:25-03:50 pm).
With ever increasing consumer demand for naturals and a growing consciousness concerning issues of sustainability, a product's life-cycle, its manufacturer, ingredients origin and packaging, the cosmetics industry is in a process of adaptation of its practices and global trends in order to stay ahead of the market. The conference aims to provide a platform to discuss these key topics, challenges and to debate current best-practices and goals for the sector through the input of multiple stakeholders.
Day 1 will be dedicated to "Trends in the natural and organic cosmetics industry", "Innovation in formulation, ingredients and raw materials" and "Cosmetics certification standards and requirements", and Day 2 to aspects covering "Marketing in sustainable cosmetics", "Managing a sustainable supply chain", and "Trends in sustainable cosmetics packaging".
This two-day event promises to deliver on several key topics within the industry, bringing together key professionals from across the cosmetics industry, from raw material suppliers to retailers to associations and more.
Every year, the Membership Assembly is a great opportunity to address and update the challenges of the Natural and Organic Cosmetics (NOC) sector together with the main achievements of the past year. On Tuesday 24th April 2018, NATRUE held its annual Membership Assembly in Frankfurt – Germany. The occasion to update Members of the Association about its activities in the areas of advocacy, label and research. This year the international non-profit association again grew its membership, now to 75 active members worldwide. NATRUE also demonstrated the powerful impact and continued growth of NATRUE label in the NOC sector, as chosen by the globally leading brands of certified natural and organic cosmetics.
Between 2017 and 2018, more than 500 new products and 12 new brands adopted the Label. As of April 2018, this brings a total number of certified brands up to 250, covering 31 countries globally and for the 1st time we saw new brands from Brazil and Morocco. The combined worldwide consumer sales attributable to products carrying the NATRUE seal exceeds 1 billion euros, showing that there is a real trust from consumers to cosmetic products bearing the NATRUE label – a true reference in the certified NOC world.
As a founding principle of NATRUE, advocacy for the coming year continues to focus on definitions for product criteria, natural ingredients protection and "green" claims to combat greenwash for the benefit of the consumer and the sector alike. New areas of focus also include environmental fate of ingredients, products, plastics including product packaging and sustainability. On-going areas of activity, and top priorities for its members, include fragrance allergens, endocrine disrupting compounds, new plant breeding techniques and GMOs, nanomaterials and a global animal testing ban.
Last year, NATRUE announced its participation to the exciting and innovative new sustainability project, URBIOFIN, which is aiming to transform and valorise customer waste into new products including cosmetic packaging. One year on, it was the opportunity to update members on the project and sustainability actions at EU-level dealing with the Circular and Bio-based Economy. The project runs until May 2021 and more information can be found here: https://www.urbiofin.eu/.
"For over 10 years NATRUE has provided the voice, and the scope and diversity of our activities demonstrates commitment to all in the sector. As NATRUE's dedicated membership and Label users grow we face both new and existing challenges together. NATRUE will always be a home to embrace those advocating for high quality who support and nurture growth of a vibrant, and continuously innovative sector for the benefit of consumers worldwide." Dr. Mark Smith, NATRUE Director General.
The Board of Management of the International Natural and Organic Cosmetics Association (NATRUE) has decided during its meeting on 23rd April 2018 to appoint Mr. Hans Nijnens as the new President of NATRUE from 1st May 2018 onwards.

From 2013 to 2017 he was vice-president of NATRUE. For many years, he took up the role of intermediary between the Board and the Secretariat in Brussels.
We thank Mr. Nijnens for this strong commitment and wish him every success in his new role. We are confident that by taking this step, the NATRUE organization will reinforce its mission to protect and promote natural and organic cosmetics to the benefit of consumers worldwide.

The culprits who robbed a pawnshop in Kyiv earlier and shot its security guard, are probably foreigners, as Viktor Nechytaylo, the Head of Kyiv Police, stated, the press office of the service reports.
According to him, the attackers were communicating in a foreign language, and they addressed to the security guard and vendor in Russian.
"Having analyzed all the gathered data, we can say that the attackers have arranged the robbery accurately: they have chosen a convenient time, when there are no traffic jams in the city, thought over the escape routes and the place for the car. Even the fact that the car used during the attack was burnt means that they were trying to destroy all the material evidence: the weapon they might have used during the robbery was found in the car's interior," the representatives of the police informed.
The law enforcers noted that it took several minutes to perform the robbery. The preliminary cost of damage done is around $192 thousand.
Kyiv police personnel is searching the attackers. The law enforcers urged everyone who possesses any data to inform the details of the incident.

In mountains area, when calculating and drawing the graph for protection area of lightning rod, we can use the direct graphic method.
In this paper, solution of equalanlar strain rosettes is presented by vectoriallayout method. This is a more complete graphical method. Found results can be obtained simply by vectorial layout method only use scale, trigon, angle gauge.
The method is that the polygon region approximate to the pending image region and calculating the polygon area to get the image area.
The problem can be solved graphically as follows.
This construction is often called the parallelogram law of addition of vectors.
This paper discusses the drawing of hyperbola normal through a point outside the hyperbola and points out the unsolvability of geometric drawing method and the unintegrality of optimization method.
