Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo: 'Tell me a Story: Locality and Narrative' /'Coming Soon'
Turin, Italy Until 7 October 2018
Hsu Chia Wei
Continuing its commitment in presenting contemporary art from other regions of the world, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo is proud to introduce Italian and International audiences to a series of works reflecting artistic developments across Asia and to further develop its dialogue with the communities there, enriching the Italian context in which the Fondazione is placed.
Tell Me a Story: Locality and Narrative draws on artists from across Asia to share 12 stories from distinct regional cultures as they have evolved throughout the modern era. Through the exploration of personal ties between artist and environment, each work exhibits multiple facets of local life, revealing in the process a side of Asia often left unseen and unheard. Though originating from different locations and cultures, these stories harmonise with one another as much as they contrast. For, though each work expresses a different saga, they nonetheless manifest a deeper, shared history, bringing to view the full complexity of existence "on the ground" for contemporary Asian societies.
curated by Amy Cheng and Hsieh Feng-Rong, organised by Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo with the support of the Rockbund Art Museum in Shanghai
'Coming Soon' is the result of the 12th edition of the Young Curators Residency Programme (coordinated by Lucrezia Calabrò Visconti) of the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo. Curated by Mira Asriningtyas, Nora Heidorn, Kari Rittenbach
List of artists: Lisetta Carmi, Leone Contini, Giulia Crispiani, Alessandra Ferrini, Kinkaleri, Beatrice Marchi, Marinella Pirelli, Francesco Pozzato, Davide Stucchi

HE IS EVERYTHING I WANT IN A MAN - Onome Talk Am!
The pursuit for everything and the self deceit of meeting a man who possesses everything a woman wants in her man has landed and will continue to land a lot of women in trouble.
Ever wondered why a woman who has just started dating a man for only a week starts gushing about him being everything she ever wanted in a man? Feeling this way is like living in a fool's paradise; pardon my language but how else can one describe this act.
It is a known fact that women are very emotional beings, no matter how hard we might want to dispute this, it is a fact that we can't hide our feelings especially when we meet a man who we are attracted to.Most women tend to confuse these feeling of attraction with meeting "the one".This is the stage a woman goes gaga and starts basking in the euphoria of having found the perfect man; she just cannot control herself, he is all she has always wished and prayed for.She doesn't understand that she is living a lie.
You may begin to imagine why women are said to possess fish brain; Do you really blame folks with this kind of derogatory and wrong mindset about women? It beats me how a woman will conclude just a week into dating a man that he is everything she ever dreamt of in her man….Come on, it's just been only a week and it's a known fact that the first weeks or months into dating are the the times everybody is playing good guy and girl.
You may want to ask what happens months into the relationship when the euphoria is gone and the scales are fallen off her eyes, what happens when she discovers his not so good part; trust me, we all have one or two not-so-good parts, what happens when she realises he is not all she thought he was? Obviously another pursuit for the "everything" she wants in a man begins and the cycle continues.
A woman's definition of everything might be based on looks,i know as a matter of fact that most women fantasize about what they want their ideal man to look like; tall, dark, handsome and macho and as soon as such a man comes their way, they start gushing about meeting a man who has everything they have ever wanted.Everything here meaning looks,I do not want to term such women as being superficial but there is more that makes a good man than looks.
Personality might be the deciding factor for other women.It is quite understandable if you want a man with eloquence and poise.A brilliant man is an attractive man anyway and at anytime for some women.A man who can hold a conversation and is very expressive does it for some women.I know it feels great when a woman finds such a man, but I ask does that count for everything? Do not get me wrong; am a sucker for a man with a great personality but when it comes to looking for everything; personality is only a little fraction.
A relationship is much more than looks and personality; this is the mistake most women make, we sometimes allow ourselves get carried away with trivia things thereby forgetting the big picture.
Is there even a thing as finding a man who has everything? Finding a man that has everything is more like finding Mr.Perfect; it is an established fact that no one is perfect.This is why you hear folks saying their partner is everything they wished for but……There will always be a but because no one can attain perfection.
Dear Sisters, if you have found yourself a man who loves and respects you, If your man understands, adores and cares a lot about you, you are good to go.If he is the type that values your views and opinions and doesn't need to talk you down to feel good about himself …This kind of men are worth being with; not because they are everything but because they are men who value the woman they have.
My little piece of advice is; stop in the pursuit for a man that is everything; you will be setting yourself up for lots of heartbreaks and disappointments. A man that is everything is nothing but a mirage.

Russia a Major Market for Kerala Tourism: Tourism Minister Mohamed Riyas
Russia has been an important market for Kerala Tourism and this partnership is bound to gain further strength in the post-pandemic era as the state has drawn up ambitious plans to add a lot of unexplored destinations to its tourism map, said Tourism Minister PA Mohamed Riyas today.
Speaking while inaugurating the Indo-Russian Travel and Tourism Fair here, Riyas said as per 2019 figures more than one lakh Russian tourists visited Kerala.
"The fair will definitely strengthen the bond between India and Russia. Kerala is one of the favourite destinations for Russian travellers," the Minister said.
Tourism is one of the most significant sectors that contributes to the economic growth of the State. The tourism sector alone contributes Rs. 45,000 crores to the State GDP and provides employment to more than 15 lakhs people, he said.
Now, Kerala tourism is in a major post-COVID revival stage. The Tourism Department has been making great efforts to regain international tourist footfalls, the Minister said.
Kerala Tourism's speedy revival after the pandemic was made possible by exploring unexplored destinations and promoting the existing ones globally. The Indo-Russian Travel and Tourism Fair is expected to further strengthen Russia's cooperation in developing the State's tourism, said Riyas.
The fair is organized by the Honorary Consulate of the Russian Federation, Thiruvananthapuram, and the Russian House in association with the State Tourism Department and the Russian Embassy.
It is conceived as a platform for B2B discussions for sellers operating in the hotel, resort, ayurveda and houseboat sectors and tour organisers and buyers from Russia. It also facilitates interactive sessions on the travel and tourism industry for the experts from both the countries and enables exchange of ideas and business leads. The stalls at the fair feature their specialties and strengths.
Tourism Principal Secretary, K S Srinivas, who presided over the function, said the Russian participants in the fair who have witnessed the cultural diversity of Kerala will inspire the rest of people of their country to visit Kerala. Also, there will be an increase in the flow of Russian tourists to the State.
Consul General of Russia, Southern India, Oleg Avdeev, said combining various tourist attractions and cultural diversity, Kerala can claim to be a unique tourist destination
Tourism Director P.B. Nooh, welcomed gathering.
Consul of Russian Federation Ratheesh C Nair, KTM President, Baby Mathew Somatheeram and SKHF Vice President, MR Narayanan also spoke at the function. Kavitha Nair, Deputy Director, Russian House proposed the vote of thanks.
Kerala Travel Mart (KTM) and Indo-Russian Tourism Forum are also partners to the event.

We are exhibiting at the Craft in Focus Christmas Contemporary Craft show at RHS Wisley. Jan is doing it on her own to save my bad back which has taken a bit of a beating over the last few weeks. Unfortunately, Jan also hurt her back last week so she has to be careful too.
The show opens at 9am every day and closes at 6pm, except Thursday is 8pm and Sunday is 5pm. Entry is free to RHS members and £9 to everyone else but this includes entry to the gardens as well.
The photos of our stand were taken by Jan on her BlackBerry phone. As you can see it's quite a bit smaller than our last show, Ideal Home Christmas show at Earls Court, in fact it's less than half the size of our stand there! We have still packed a lot in and have several hundred darkroom prints for sale, the last few posters and all 4 books are on offer, with a very special price if you buy all 4.

Francis Coquelin – The Riddler
Robert Utah 14th January 2018 Arsenal, football, Goonersphere, tactics, transfersTagged cazorla, coquelin, defence, Elneny, midfield, ramsey, wilshere2 Comments on Francis Coquelin – The Riddler
We have had heroes on the pitch. Those that elevate themselves above the accepted standard and lift all those around him. There is a fascination though, with heroes of a different kind.
Today's society is enjoying a smorgasbord of superhero-inspired movies. Men and women, clad entirely in ludicrous spandex, sporting a mutant gene which allows them to perform acts which bend the laws of physics and questions reality.
Can players on the pitch compare to the heroes on the big screen? In a way, yes.
One of our greatest luminaries, Dennis Bergkamp, if transferred to an alternate universe – could be The Sliver Surfer. Tony Adams and his leadership qualities lend themselves to Captain America. What of the current squad?
Mesut Ozil would of course be, The Vision. Alexis Sanchez and his box of tricks would be Doctor Strange. Francis Coquelin?
Well, he'd be The Riddler.
When Francis Coquelin returned from Charlton on loan last season, it seemed to be a needless throw of dice by our manager. We had money in the bank, but his recall looked to be a desperate attempt to shore up a leaking hull that was shipping water with alarming frequency.
Throw in the fact the extra body would cost absolutely zip, and the move looked to be classic Wenger.
His success story is well chronicled. His inclusion in the side adds a layer of steel in a sometimes quivering underbelly. Last season, from January onwards, his stats showed he was the most effective defensive midfielder in the Premier League.
What this season has shown, is that his success is hugely dependant on a partner that can shift the balls quickly that he wins. Who that partner is? That is a mystery.
Hence, The Riddler.
Santi Cazorla remains the optimum choice. During Coquelin's rise to prominence, it was the Spaniard who was his chief ally, always available to transition the team from under pressure to swift attack.
Francis wins the ball. Santi moves the ball. Simple plan.
This season has seen one half of the double act out of action, and the plan has gone up in smoke.
We have seen Wenger pair him up with a succession of players who are tasked with the same mission as Santi had. Yet, they have failed. There has been no cohesion, no melding of minds. Whoever slotted in alongside the Frenchman, they have not been able to make the duopoly work. Much to the chagrin of Wenger and Gooners everywhere.
Mohamed Elneny has been the latest to take the central midfield slot alongside Coquelin. It was a partial success, but there was plenty of room for improvement. Now, we have seen the Egyptian take Coquelin's spot and Ramsey has been the man with the responsibility of carrying the ball.
This does work, but at the crux of the matter is that Coquelin is a more effective defensive shield than Elneny and Santi Cazorla is a better midfielder than Aaron Ramsey. So why can't we just play them instead?
We have so many options in midfield, and yet we are severely limited as some players just do not work well together. Unless we find a combination that works, or one of our current midfielders adapts to the situation, we may yet have to recruit once more. That would be a ludicrous option, given how well stocked we are in the middle, but it may just materialise.
Santi has had recent injury worries, and that may again leave Coquelin back a few steps in comparison to where he was last season. Can Wilshere be Coquelin's partner? Seeing as his movement with the ball is better than Elneny and Ramsey, he would be the logical choice, but his fitness means he cannot be relied upon.
So this puts us back with Elneny and Ramsey. Elneny has been exemplary in his displays since joining, but Ramsey has been inconsistent, much like his choice of position.
So, who should play?
At this point in time, we all have opinions on it, but to optimise the talents of each midfielder, we need a cohesive team in the centre, who are both on the same wavelength. One will attack, whilst the other sits back. No words need to be said, they both know their role inside out. So, who has that in their locker?

What is an example of the Socratic method?
Example of the Socratic Method The teacher might ask you how you define love between two people. You might answer something like this: 'Love is a combination of feelings you have and actions you take to demonstrate your appreciation that another person exists. '
Is it better to be a leader or a follower?
Many people think it is better to be a leader than a follower because being a leader has become a status symbol. But seeking a leadership position for the status is a mistake. You will not be able to handle the responsibilities of leadership. Your followers will sense your lack of confidence and will challenge you.
Is the Socratic method effective?
The Socratic method is still in use because it develops a number of skills and is an excellent instructional tool. The first and most obvious benefit is that it teaches students to think quickly. The student can't truly prepare for the professor's questions and must respond to them as they come.

What are Socratic questions used for in teaching?
Socratic questions are not 'tools for evaluation.' Rather, they are used to facilitate open-ended collaborative discussions and dialogues between the teacher and the students. Unlike debates, these are not competitive in nature, but help to further learning by improving the student's reasoning and analytical skills.
Is Reich's model of the Socratic method based on Socrates's methods?
While Reich's model of the Socratic method is not based entirely on Socrates's methods in Plato's dialogues, it is a long way from the confrontational humiliation that has become mistakenly associated with the Socratic approach.

Interferonen (IFN) zijn natuurlijke eiwitten (glycoproteïnen) die worden afgescheiden door geïnfecteerde cellen van de meeste gewervelde dieren, en dus ook van de mens. Ze spelen een belangrijke rol bij de werking van het immuunsysteem. Interferonen behoren tot de groep cytokinen. De effecten van interferon tegen virussen werden in 1957 ontdekt door Alick Isaacs en Jean Lindenmann. Ze worden interferonen genoemd omdat ze interfereren met de virale replicatie. Er zijn ongeveer 20 verschillende soorten interferonen die in het menselijk lichaam voorkomen. Deze verschillende soorten interferon zijn belangrijk bij het controleren en verwijderen van acute en chronische infecties. Als geneesmiddel wordt interferon gemaakt met recombinant-DNA technieken. Het is onder andere werkzaam bij reumatoïde artritis en chronische hepatitis B, hepatitis C en Multiple sclerose.

Soorten
Er worden meerdere types interferonen onderscheiden:

Type I:
 interferon-α
 interferon-β, zie Interferon bèta-1a en Interferon bèta-1b
 interferon-δ
 interferon-ζlimitin
 interferon-τ
 interferon-ω
Type II:
 interferon-γ
Type III:
 interferon-λ

IFN-α en IFN-β
Alfa- en bèta-interferonen zijn type I interferonen die geproduceerd worden na een virale infectie. Ze zullen dus zorgen voor afweer tegen toekomstige virale infecties en induceren een antivirale staat in naburige cellen. Ze hebben bovendien een antitumorale werking, doordat ze celgroei afremmen en naturalkillercellen gaan stimuleren. De celtypes die gevoelig zijn voor type I interferon zijn onder andere macrofagen, dendritische cellen, lymfocyten, hepatocyten (levercel), adipocyten (vetcel), neuronen en endotheelcellen. Terwijl er bij mensen van één gen ook één subtype IFN-β kan worden geproduceerd, zijn er voor IFN-α dertien functionele genen die meer dan 22 subtypes IFN-α opleveren.

IFN-γ
Gamma-interferonen (ook wel type II) worden geproduceerd door T-lymfocyten, en worden ook immuun-interferonen genoemd. Ze reguleren de immuunprocessen in het lichaam door stimulatie of remming van bepaalde stoffen afhankelijk van de omstandigheden en activeren de macrofagen.

IFN-δ
Delta-inferferonen, voor het eerst beschreven in 1993, komen voor bij verschillende zoogdieren, maar zijn tot nu toe nog niet beschreven bij mensen. IFN-δ vertoont grote overeenkomst met IFN-ζ/limitin en komt gelijk met IFN-τ tot expressie in de blastocyste.

IFN-ζ (limitin)
Als type I interferon hebben zèta-interferonen, ook bekend als limitin, een werking die sterk lijkt op die van IFN-α. Naast anti-virale en anti-tumorale effecten heeft IFN-ζlimitin echter een veel mildere suppressieve activiteit op lymfoide en myeloide hematopoëse.

IFN-λ
De lambda-interferon familie is onderdeel van de nieuwe klasse type III interferon. Structureel lijken IFN-λ1 (ook interleukine-29), IFN-λ2 (IL-28A), and IFN-λ3 (IL-28B) op IFN-γ, maar hebben functioneel meer gemeen met IFN-α/β. Dit laatste komt doordat zij dezelfde signaaltransductieroutes activeren, de receptor is echter een andere. Hierdoor activeert IFN-λ bijvoorbeeld geen macrofagen. Momenteel wordt onderzocht of IFN-λ bruikbaar is voor behandeling van onder andere chronische hepatitis C infectie.

IFN-τ
Voorkomt afbraak van de zwangerschap in het rund en het schaap. Het blastocyste-embryo geeft IFN-τ af, zodat oxytocinereceptoren in het endometrium worden geblokkeerd. Door deze blokkering wordt er minder PGF2α wordt afgegeven door het endometrium. Er wordt hier dus mee voorkomen, dat het corpus luteum in regressie gaat in het ovarium.

IFN-ω
De aminozuursequentie van omega-interferon komt voor 75% overeen met die van IFN-α. Voor zover bekend bindt IFN-ω aan dezelfde receptor als IFN-α en IFN-β. Momenteel wordt onderzocht of IFN-ω bruikbaar is voor behandeling van onder andere chronische hepatitis C infectie. IFN-ω wordt op dit moment al bij infecties met Felien immunodeficiëntievirus (FIV; 'kattenaids') en felien leukemievirus (FeLV) toegepast.

Research within the Department of Education and Childhood at UWE Bristol operates within a broad concept of social justice and its inter-connected strands of Researching with children and young people; Digital education; and Research in global and sustainable education.
How can research contribute to the production of a more inclusive, diverse, equitable and just society?
Our staff have experience in examining and supervising research students in the area of social justice. We welcome new postgraduate students to conduct research with us.
Surveys were sent to all students who had completed a Foundation Degree in Education Support since early 2000, and for which contact details were held. One-to-one interviews were conducted with a sub set of 20 respondents.
The research explores the professional pathways that the predominantly mature, first generation female students embark upon once graduated from the top-up BA Hons. Barriers and enablements; structure and agency inform this project.
The ways in which the students act as change agents in their own communities, liminal spaces between para and professional, and activation of agency are further guiding ideas for the research.
Co-researchers on this project are Dr Helen Bovill (Project Lead; UWE Bristol); Dr Neil Harrison (UWE Bristol); Viki Bennett (Bath Spa University); Hilary Smith (Bath Spa University) and Dr Liz McKenzie (University of Plymouth).
Accessing higher education: The experiences of 'estranged students' beyond entry point.
This collaborative research project with Professor Yvette Taylor (University of Strathclyde) explored the experiences of 'estranged' students in Scottish HE institutions that have endorsed the Stand Alone initiative. In doing so, the project drew on Pierre Bourdieu's theory of practice as a framework that is malleable enough to consider an intersectional understanding of the phenomenon being explored.
More specifically, the project examined the role of HE in supporting estranged students and explored wider issues of estranged students' experiences of marginalisation through dimensions of class, gender and ethical background.
Project duration: 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018.
Exploring 'estrangement' in higher education: Standing alone or settling in?
A collaborative project with Dr Mark Murphy (University of Glasgow); Dr Rille Raaper (University of Durham); Dr Jenna Condie (Western Sydney University); and Dr Cristina Costa (UWE Bristol). Estranged students can be defined as a group of young adults who have unstable, minimal or no contact with either of their biological parents and/or their wider family networks (Blake, 2015).
How effective are policies in addressing the integration of estranged students in Scottish Higher Education?
What role does Higher Education have in integrating estranged students in a contemporary society?
Project duration: 1 March 2018 to 28 February 2019.
The purpose of this project (September 2016 to November 2017) was to identify the extent to which care leavers are disadvantaged in terms of access to higher education. Dr Neil Harrison hoped to identify whether they need additional university support and the nature of the need.
The outcome was to provide practitioners with new knowledge that will help to improve the services that they offer to young people, foster carers and local authorities.
Strand 1 was a multivariate statistical analysis of linked data available from the National Pupil Database and the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
Strand 2 was an online questionnaire with current students who are care leavers.

Watch via YouTube the Moving on Up research report summary.
In 2013, this project examined the effectiveness of the Department of Education and Childhood's efforts to recruit and retain students, in particular, groups poorly represented in teaching, such as those from a BME background.
We assessed our current strategies to understand how we enhance their experience of studying at UWE Bristol.
This project was a comparative study of the UK's, United States' and New Zealand's student finance systems from 2013 to 2014. Their systems vary in key ways, providing students with a different experience of indebtedness.
We used quantitative techniques to examine students within these systems. Learning how they affect their attitudes, understanding and behaviours. We also used a blend of theoretical concepts from the fields of economics, psychology and sociology, including financial literacy, personality theory and social class.
Data was collected from 600 full-time first year undergraduates in social science and business via an online questionnaire. Read more about the project via the Interim Report – July 2014.
Paired Peers was a joint project with the University of Bristol, from 2010 to 2013. The project assessed the impact of a cohort of undergraduates' social class on their experience at university.
Consequently, there was a major dissemination day conference. Attendees were politicians, civil servants, the media and educational interest groups including those from the higher education sector.
Dr Richard Waller led the project. Professor Harriet Bradley from University of Bristol was Principal Investigator.

Powerchair Football Opportunity
New Powerchair Football Opportunities in Essex
Truly Inclusive Active Team Sport For All Genders
We're working in partnership with the Wheelchair Football Association (WFA) to provide local powerchair football playing opportunities.
For many, powerchair football is the only truly inclusive active team sport. It caters for people who use a wheelchair or those who have severe mobility impairments, and we are looking for people to express interest in taking part in new taster sessions, which will help to determine dates and venues. There are no age restrictions, and powerchairs are provided for the players.
Powerchair provision is a completely mixed offer, allowing both youth and open-age players from all genders who have a physical disability to engage in the game. Essex County FA Development Manager, Karl Sear, is looking forward to hearing from new participants: "Whether this is an offer you have engaged in before or not, this is a fantastic opportunity… give it a try!"
"We want more people to be in a position to access powerchair football as it's not something which many people will have seen before. A club can be set-up with adapted electric wheelchairs, as well as with attachments for players' own wheelchairs. We hope to be able to offer more opportunities during the coming months."
During powerchair matches, the participants use a larger ball in teams of up to eight players. Normally, it's competed for on a standard five-a-side pitch for two 20-minute halves, with four players used at any time. Tackling is only allowed using bumper contact and, if the ball leaves the pitch, play is restarted. Powerchair football has previously been popular locally.
Interested in attending some upcoming taster sessions, delivered by specialist Wheelchair Football Association coaches? Please complete this short expression of interest form. For more information about powerchair football, visit the WFA website.

UK - Smiths Group, the global technology company, has reached an agreement with the trustees of its two UK pension schemes to recover the combined deficit of £655m (€788m) over the next decade.
The agreement follows the triennial valuations of the Smiths Industries Pension Scheme (SIPS) in March 2009 and the TI Group Pension Scheme (TIGPS) in April last year that revealed deficits of £545m and £110m, respectively.
Smiths noted there had been a substantial increase in the asset values and funding position since the valuations occurred, which was "reflected by the contingent nature of a significant element of the agreed funding plans".
Under the terms of the recovery plans, Smiths will be required to make cash contributions to SIPS of £36m a year for 10 years, subject to future triennial valuations.
This is an increase from the previous deficit contribution level of £33m a year.
In addition, it has agreed to make an initial investment of £25m into index-linked gilts that will be held in an escrow account with further monthly investments of £2m for nine years starting in July 2011.
Smiths confirmed the account would remain a company asset until 2020 subject to the funding position of SIPS at that time, or it could revert back to the technology company at an earlier date if future valuations report a funding surplus.
The company said: "This provides a contingent funding commitment without locking the investment into the scheme should its funding position improve."
It has also agreed a conditional cash contribution to TIGPS of up to £50m, payable in May 2012, with further biannual contributions of £8m.
However, these payments can be reduced or suspended depending on the funding position of the scheme in the six months that end in March 2012.
In a statement, Smiths added: "The funding plans allow for contributions to be reduced in the event of improvements in the overall funding positions of the schemes following future triennial valuations.
"The use of the escrow account for SIPS ensures no material change to net cash outflows to the UK pension schemes prior to the date of the next triennial review."


When you step out of the shower or bathtub, fresh and clean, only to end up drying off with a sour smelling towel, it can be rather unpleasant. With each use, towels are exposed to many things that contribute to that nasty sour odour. Dead skin cells, dirt, moisture and mildew cause a towel to go from clean to smelly within just a few days. While frequent and proper washing is the best way to keep towel odour at bay, there are other things you can do to keep your towels fresher longer.
Wash sour smelling towels in the hottest water allowed. Add the normal amount of washing powder to the wash water along with 1 cup baking soda. Baking soda is a natural deodoriser that will freshen your towels as well as make them feel softer.
Pour 1 cup white vinegar into the water reservoir of your wash machine as it fills for the rinse cycle. Not only will the vinegar further freshen your towels it also keeps the colours bright and softens the fibres.
Place your clean towels in the dryer with a reusable scented dryer bag. Lavender or vanilla are mild scents that add a pleasant smell to your towels.
Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and keep it in the bathroom. When you hang your towel to dry after a bath or shower, give the towel a light spritz of vinegar to freshen the fibres and prevent mildew development. The smell of vinegar will dissipate when the towel dries.
Hang your towel up after each use to prevent odour-causing mildew from developing. If possible, hang towels outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine. Launder towels every few days.
If you follow these methods and still have sour smelling towels the problem may be your washing machine, not your towels. Remove dirt and odour from your washer by running 2 gallons of vinegar through a full cycle. Never leave towels in a wet pile on the floor. This encourages the growth of mould and mildew, which can lead to sour smelling towels.

Natur- & Geopark Mëllerdall Applies for UNESCO Global Geoparks Label
Published on Monday, 23 Nov 2020 17:23 by JCA

On Monday 23 November 2020, Luxembourg's authorities announced the presentation of the candidacy of the Natur- & Geopark Mëllerdall (NGPM) to the international network of UNESCO Global Geoparks.
The announcement took place in the presence of Luxembourg's Minister for Spatial Planning, Claude Turmes, and the Minister of the Environment, Climate and Sustainable Development, Carole Dieschbourg, as well as the President of the Luxembourg Commission for Cooperation with UNESCO, Simone Beck.
UNESCO already attested to the region's potential and its remarkable geological heritage at the international level when the NGPM presented its first application in 2017. Following this, all the parties concerned agreed from the outset that it would be necessary to resubmit an application later. This has now been carried out, after intensive work aimed at improving the points criticised.
The UNESCO Global Geoparks are regions rich in sites and landscapes of international geological scope, whose value is appreciable thanks to a global concept of education, protection and sustainable development. They work for the inhabitatnts and municipalities of their region, make the value of the geological heritage better known to the local population and thus create an identification with the region. They encourage geotourism and regional development and they meet the challenges of modern society such as questions linked to planetary change. The NGPM with its various services is considered to be well-integrated in this concept. Like the UNESCO Global Geoparks, the NGTM pursues the global objectives of sustainable development.
Thanks to this label, knowledge of the Mullerthal region will reach a larger public, also at the international level. Indeed, the UNESCO Global Geoparks are grouped into an international network. Regular network meetings allow intensive exchange, research of ideas and learning from each other.
Minister Claude Turmes noted that the application for this label "embodies the territorial vision of spatial planning in the Mullerthal region".
Minister Carole Dieschbourg added: "There is no doubt that the concept of this nomination will help to implement sustainable development in this beautiful and unique rural region".
The application, which consists of approximately 50 pages, has now been submitted. UNESCO will first verify the application, after which two experts from UNESCO Global Geoparks will visit the region and evaluate it in spring / summer 2021. The decision will be made in spring 2022.
