Top Things to Do in Bergen
Explore the Fjords
A Bergen cruise stop is the ideal jumping-off point for travelers eager to see Norway's stunning fjord system. Many guided tours will start and end in Bergen, where adventures might include hiking, kayaking, and scaling the dramatic cliffscape of the fjords.
Head to the Top of Mt. Fløyen
Just a few minutes' walk from the Bergen cruise port is the funicular, which will take you to the impressive summit of Mt. Fløyen. In less than 10 minutes, you'll be enjoying panoramic views of the entire city below. Enjoy a mountain walk, or hike from Mt. Fløyen all the way to neighboring Mount Ulriken. Leave at least a half day to fully take in the mountains and nature of this area.
Tour St. Mary's Church
Since 1180, St. Mary's Church has stood steadfastly in the center of Bryggen. It's the oldest building in all of Bergen, and its Gothic architecture will fascinate you. See the magic for yourself during your stop on a fjord cruise to Bergen. Guided tours offer a short half-hour journey through hundreds of years of history.
Explore the Famous Fish Market
It's no secret that fishing and seafood are a huge part of life in Bergen. Experience it for yourself when you eat out or explore the Bergen Fish Market, which has been around since the 13th century. Fresh catches, vegetables, and locally farmed fruit are market staples. Watch as locals make their grocery purchases, people watch, and admire the day's catches as you stroll the harborfront.
Food and Drink Spots Near the Bergen Cruise Port
Restaurant Cornelius
Address: Strandgaten 203, 5004 Bergen, Norway
Seafood is what Restaurant Cornelius does best, and with fjord views and passing ships just beyond the restaurant, it's hard to go wrong with this kind of ambiance. The restaurant offers a culinary journey through Norway. The five-course meal is perfect for an upscale, slow evening meal featuring some of the region's freshest seafood, from fresh-shucked oysters to ceviche, scallops, king crab, and more.
Marg & Bein
Address: Fosswinckelsgate 18, 5007 Bergen, Norway
The trendy Marg & Bein has decadent mains like white fish and mussels in a cream sauce or braised ox and potatoes cooked in duck fat. Creative spins on seafood dishes and an attention to detail make Marg & Bein worth checking out. The atmosphere is modern and Scandinavian sleek, and the menu changes seasonally.
Looking for something other than seafood? Head to Horn of Africa, which caters to your cravings for Ethiopian and African dishes, plus offers plenty of vegetarian options. The injera, or Ethiopian savory pancake, pairs perfectly with both vegetarian and meat options. The cozy restaurant makes for a laid-back atmosphere.
Culture & History in Bergen
The gateway to Norway's most famous fjords, Bergen was also once the capital of Norway until it was unseated by Oslo in the 13th century. Bergen has always been a port city, and the impact of fishing has been integral to the economy for hundreds of years. Today, Bergen remains one of Norway's most important port cities and is the country's second biggest city, though retains the friendliness of a small town. The official language is Norwegian, but many in Bergen speak English pretty fluently, so English speakers won't have any difficulty navigating around.
Bergen Port Facilities & Location
When your Bergen cruise docks in port, you'll find it's a quick and easy walk to the city center and most of the attractions and historic sites. Bergen is commonly used as a stopover on the way to the best fjords in the region, but the central location of the cruise port makes it easy to stay local for the day.
Transportation in Bergen
It's easy to get around downtown on foot, and most of the big sights are within walking distance of one another. Bikes, ferries, and buses are all available transportation options here. Note that renting a car can be expensive because of the limited parking options. Taxis can be hailed in the center of the city and in other parts of town, too. The ferry system is commonly used by travelers wanting to get to various fjords throughout the region, but those are often multi-day journeys. Bergen's light rail is called the Bybanen, which is an effective way to get to popular tourist sights in Bergen.
Shopping Near the Bergen Cruise Port
Because you're close to the city center on your Bergen fjord cruise, there's no need to worry about going out of your way to find good shopping. The best shopping is in the historic Bryggen area, and there are also boutiques selling wool goods and locally made ceramics nearby. The city's main shopping district, where you'll find dozens of Norwegian name brands, boutiques, and local craftsmen, is just beyond Olav Kyrres Gate.
The official currency of Norway is the krone (kr). Norway is moving gradually toward being a cash-free society, so debit and credit cards are commonly accepted here, unlike some other parts of Europe. MasterCard, Visa, and American Express are widely used. ATMs in Norway are called "mini banks," so look out for that if you're looking for a place to withdraw a little cash or check your balance. Don't worry about tipping your taxi driver or restaurant server, as the tip is usually already included in a service charge on your bill. When you pay with a credit card in Norway, there will usually be a blank line for leaving a tip if you wish to tip additionally.
Find Cruises to Norway's Bergen Port
Bergen, Norway is a former Viking stronghold girded by deep fjords, towering mountains and sweeping glaciers. Visit Bryggen Wharf, where you can strike a bargain in one of the many artisans' workshops, or visit the famous Fish Market for a real treat. Bergen specialties include fish soup, cured salmon, herring, shrimp, and venison. Be sure to try the "skillingsbolle", a sinfully good cinnamon roll while on your Bergen cruise. This city located on the southwest coast of Norway is straight out of storybook. At the center of its allure is the old wharf town of Bryggen, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where winding cobblestone alleys transport you back through 400 years of Hanseatic domination. Indeed, the Middle Ages lurk around every bend of this wonderfully preserved Norwegian treasure, and yet it's also alive with a youthful exuberance evident in eclectic coffee houses, sensational art galleries and a burgeoning local music scene. Perhaps, the best way to take it all in is by hopping aboard the city's funicular and climbing some 1,000 feet above sea level. As sweeping views of the city, the surrounding mountains and glistening fjords envelop you; it's impossible not to marvel at the beauty of Bergen.


HTC is moving on from the $399 tablet, which failed to generate buzz over the Nexus 7 from ASUS and tablets from other competitors.
HTC has stopped manufacturing the Nexus 9 tablet it released in October 2014, after the tablet was pulled from the Google Play Store in April.
The Taiwanese device maker confirmed to sister-site CNET that manufacturing of the tablet isn't being curtailed because of demand reasons. Rather, HTC has completed its manufacturing run of the 8.9-inch Android tablet.
HTC hasn't named a predecessor to the $399 Nexus 9, which failed to gain steam over the $199 Nexus 7 tablet from ASUS. Some models of the Nexus 9 are still available to purchase on HTC's website, as it's likely clearing stock.
The Pixel C has replaced the Nexus 9 as the flagship tablet on the Google Play Store, available for $499 with a 10.2-inch display. It's seen as a more capable, hybrid tablet to compete against the iPad Pro and Microsoft Surface.


A psalm of Asaph. O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple, they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.
They have given the dead bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the air, the flesh of your saints to the beasts of the earth.
We are objects of reproach to our neighbors, of scorn and derision to those around us.
How long, O LORD? Will you be angry forever? How long will your jealousy burn like fire?
for they have devoured Jacob and destroyed his homeland.
Do not hold against us the sins of the fathers; may your mercy come quickly to meet us, for we are in desperate need.
Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Before our eyes, make known among the nations that you avenge the outpoured blood of your servants.
May the groans of the prisoners come before you; by the strength of your arm preserve those condemned to die.
Pay back into the laps of our neighbors seven times the reproach they have hurled at you, O Lord.
Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will praise you forever; from generation to generation we will recount your praise.

Die Deutsche Schillerstiftung von 1859 mit Sitz in Weimar ist die älteste deutsche private Fördereinrichtung für Schriftsteller. Der Schwerpunkt ihres Wirkens liegt seit der Gründung 1855, ihrer Konstituierung 1859 und ihrer Wiedergründung 1995 in allgemeiner Literaturförderung durch dotierte Auszeichnungen für besondere schriftstellerische Leistungen. Nicht minder wichtig ist der Stiftung aber auch seit Anbeginn die finanzielle Unterstützung bedürftiger oder in Not geratener Schriftsteller oder ihrer Angehörigen.

Geschichte

Gründung und erste Jahrzehnte: Querelen und Erfolg
Auf Initiative des Schriftstellers Julius Hammer wurde im Mai 1855 ein Verein als Schillerstiftung gegründet, der es sich zunächst zur Aufgabe machen sollte, einen Fonds zur Unterstützung der Hinterbliebenen verarmter Schriftsteller zu begründen. Er wurde dabei unterstützt von seinen Kollegen Wilhelm Wolfsohn, Berthold Auerbach und Karl Gutzkow. Die eigentliche Konstituierung der Stiftung fand jedoch erst im Oktober 1859 im Dresdner Zwingerpavillon statt. Weimar wurde zunächst Hauptsitz des Vereins. Bereits vorher waren der Stiftung Gelder zur Verfügung gestellt oder gesammelt worden.

Den Stiftungszweck formulierte Gutzkow prägnant: Sie solle "literarischen Talenten tatkräftig Beistand leisten sowie Schriftstellern im Falle schwerer Lebenssorge helfen, … Mangel vom Herde der Dichter abwehren, vielversprechenden Talenten Muße zur Vollendung poetischer Werke und den im Dienste der Musen Ergrauten ein sorgenfreies Alter" verschaffen. Als erster Schriftsteller wurde Otto Ludwig bereits im Gründungsjahr mit 400 Talern unterstützt.

Nachdem bereits vor der offiziellen Konstituierung der Deutschen Schillerstiftung in vielen Städten Zweigvereine entstanden waren, u. a. in Berlin, Frankfurt am Main, Stuttgart, München, Breslau, Darmstadt, wurden direkt nach der Gründung weitere Zweigstiftungen initiiert, u. a. in Linz, Danzig, Köln, Augsburg, Lübeck, Königsberg und Wien, wo Kaiser Franz Joseph die Schirmherrschaft übernahm.

Großherzog Carl Alexander verlieh der Stiftung 1859 das Privileg einer "moralischen Körperschaft" und bemühte sich, das Schiller-Haus in Weimar für sie zu erwerben und den Hauptsitz in Weimar festzuschreiben, was ihm jedoch erst 1890 gelingen sollte.

Da die rasch entstandenen Zweigvereine rechtlich selbständige Organisationen waren, gab es untereinander Streitereien und Eifersüchteleien: Der wirtschaftlich starke Dresdner Verein zum Beispiel mit seinen Wegbereitern der Stiftung wollte den Hauptsitz nach Dresden ziehen und nicht als Zweigverein gelten. In Dresden hatten die Hauptinitiatoren ja bereits 1855 eine Dresdner-Schillerstiftung gegründet und 1859 dann die äußerst erfolgreiche Schiller-Lotterie-Stiftung, im Jahr also der Konstitution der Deutschen Schillerstiftung. Der wesentlich finanzschwächere Weimarer Verein am Hauptsitz beanspruchte deshalb aus Dresden mehr Geld als von den übrigen Filialvereinen, was wiederum der damaligen Satzung widersprach. Zusätzliche Verwirrung entstand durch die persönliche Geschichte der Dresdner Initiatoren: Friedrich Anton Serre auf Maxen (* 1789; † 1863) hatte bereits 1842 zusammen mit Julius Hammer eine Tiedge-Stiftung gegründet, die ähnliche Zwecke verfolgte wie die Dresdner-Schillerstiftung, und war finanziell gescheitert. Auch deshalb erhielt die Stiftung am Gründungssitz Dresden die Rechte einer juristischen Persönlichkeit erst im September 1860. Nach dem überwältigenden Erfolg der Schiller-Lotterie-Stiftung wurde die Dresdner Filiale Serre zu Ehren in Serre'sche Zweig-Schiller-Stiftung zu Dresden umbenannt; die Lotterie hatte das beträchtliche Grundvermögen der Stiftung in Höhe von 300.000 Talern erbracht.

In der folgenden Verwaltungsperiode (1865–1869) wurde Wien zum Hauptsitz (in der damaligen Satzung Vorort genannt) der Stiftung, Vorsitzender des Verwaltungsrates wurde Friedrich Halm, Generalsekretär war bis 1870 Ferdinand Kürnberger. 1870 bis 1874 war Weimar wieder Hauptsitz mit Julius Grosse als Nachfolger Gutzkows als Generalsekretär, 1875 bis 1879 Dresden, 1880 bis 1884 wieder Weimar. Während der sechsten Verwaltungsperiode mit Hauptsitz in München (1885–1889) wurde Paul Heyse Verwaltungsratsvorsitzender, Hans von Hopfen wurde Generalsekretär.

In diesen Jahren erwiesen sich vor allem folgende Persönlichkeiten als bedeutende Stifter der Deutschen Schillerstiftung: Berthold Auerbach, Heinrich Brockhaus, Cäsar Flaischlen, Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, Marie Louise von François, Franz Liszt, Fritz Reuters Ehefrau Luise, Kaiserin Augusta, Ludwig Bechstein, Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, Philipp Eduard Devrient, Friedrich Wilhelm Hackländer, Karl von Holtei (der 1859 die Festrede zum 100. Geburtstag Schillers gehalten und ab 1865 selbst eine Pension von 500 Talern durch die Schiller-Stiftung erhielt), König Maximilian II. von Bayern, Conrad Ferdinand Meyer, Johann Nestroy, Ferdinand von Saar, Ernst von Wildenbruch. Der Schriftsteller Fritz Reuter und der Journalist Otto Braun vermachten Ende der 1890er Jahre ihre Villen der Deutschen Schillerstiftung.

Nachdem 1890 Weimar endgültig Hauptsitz der Deutschen Schillerstiftung geworden war, wurde Schillers Enkel Ludwig Alexander Freiherr von Gleichen-Rußwurm 1895 bis 1901 Verwaltungsratsvorsitzender; ihn löste der weimarische Staatsminister Carl W. Rothe ab (bis 1921). – Das Vermögen und der Besitz der Stiftung vergrößerten sich zum Teil durch Erbschaften, wie die Reuter-Villa in Eisenach zeigt.

Die Ideen der Deutschen Schillerstiftung fanden auch Freunde in der Schweiz. Es entstand dort jedoch kein Zweigverein; vielmehr wurde in Zürich 1905 die von der deutschen Stiftung völlig unabhängige Schweizerische Schillerstiftung gegründet. Im selben Jahr erhielt die Deutsche Schillerstiftung vom Schillerverband Deutscher Frauen eine Spende über 250.000 Mark.

Bis zum Beginn des Ersten Weltkriegs war die Deutsche Schillerstiftung fest im literarischen Leben Deutschlands verankert. Sie konnte ihren Stiftungszweck glänzend erfüllen.

Zwischen den Weltkriegen: Inflation und Zeit des Nationalsozialismus
Das Geldvermögen der Deutschen Schillerstiftung und ihrer Zweigstiftungen betrug im Jahr 1919 2.500.000 Papiermark. Es ging durch die Inflation nahezu völlig verloren. Der Schriftsteller Heinrich Lilienfein wurde 1920 Generalsekretär (bis 1952).

1933 wurde die Stiftung an die Reichsschrifttumskammer angegliedert; nach dem sog. Anschluss Österreichs 1938 musste der bedeutende Wiener Zweigverein der Stiftung aufgelöst werden, die übrigen Zweigvereine wurden 1944 ebenfalls zwangsaufgelöst. Das Vermögen betrug zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch 200.000 Reichsmark. Die Aufnahme in die Goebbels-Stiftung für Kulturschaffende konnte jedoch verhindert werden.

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg: zwei Stiftungen
1946 gestattete der Verwaltungschef der Sowjetischen Militäradministration in Thüringen Iwan Sasonowitsch Kolesnitschenko (* 1907; † 1984) der Deutschen Schillerstiftung, ihre Arbeit wieder aufzunehmen. Heinrich Lilienfein wurde im Amt des Generalsekretärs bestätigt. Das in Bayern liegende Vermögen (Anlagen und Immobilien) wurde formell an den Münchner Treuhänder Hans Rheinfelder übergeben, der sich schon bisher als Vorstandsmitglied intensiv um die Belange der Stiftung gekümmert hatte.

In den 1950er Jahren entstand Verwirrung: Der Berliner Schriftsteller Werner Schendell strebte die Gründung einer Deutschen Friedrich Schillerstiftung an, nicht zuletzt, weil er der Ansicht war, die Weimarer Stiftung könne nicht mehr gesamtdeutsch agieren, oder sei gar erloschen. Erwin Ackerknecht, an den er sich um Auskunft gewandt hatte, teilte ihm zwar mit, dass die Deutsche Schillerstiftung nach wie vor existierte, sehr wohl gesamtdeutsch, wenn auch bescheiden, bedürftige Schriftsteller unterstützte (unter anderen Ludwig Finckh, Helmut Paulus, Hans Brandenburg), und vor allem kein Interesse an einer Parallelgründung habe. Die westdeutsche Initiative wurde jedoch weiterverfolgt: Im Dezember 1952 wurde die Deutsche Friedrich Schillerstiftung in Berlin gegründet, mit den Gründungsvorständen Joachim Tiburtius, Wolfgang Goetz, Wolf Lauckner, Paul Ronge, Walter Kahnert, Friedrich Karl Fromm und Werner Schendell. Einen Beitrittsaufruf unterstützten der damalige Bundespräsident Theodor Heuss und namhafte Schriftsteller der damaligen Zeit wie Hans Carossa und Carl Zuckmayer. Die 1953 verabschiedete Stiftungssatzung dieser zweiten Schillerstiftung berief sich ebenfalls ausdrücklich auf das Gründungsjahr 1859, stellte sich als Nachfolgerin dieser ursprünglichen Deutschen Schillerstiftung dar und behauptete – wider besseres Wissen – diese sei 1945 erloschen. Die Deutsche Schillergesellschaft, die mit beiden Stiftungen in Verbindung stand, lehnte Vorstandmitgliedschaften in beiden Stiftungen ab, um ihren gesamtdeutschen Verbindungen und Arbeiten nicht zu schaden: Sie hatte zu dieser Zeit noch über 300 Mitglieder in der DDR und sogar eine Geschäftsstelle in Weimar. Nachdem die Deutsche Friedrich Schillerstiftung ihren Sitz nach Darmstadt verlegt hatte, weitete sie ihr soziales Programm aus, sie unterstützte nun vor allem das Verlegen von Romanen in Großdruck.

Thomas Mann nahm 1953 die Ehrenpräsidentschaft der Deutschen Schillerstiftung in Weimar an. Louis Fürnberg wurde 1955, Klaus Herrmann 1959 Generalsekretär.

Ab 1971 konnte die Stiftung aus politischen Gründen nicht weiter als gesamtdeutsche Institution geführt werden. Die Geschäftsstelle im Schiller-Haus musste 1977 aufgegeben werden. Wiederholte Versuche, die Stiftung zu liquidieren, misslangen. Autoren konnten jedoch nicht weiter gefördert werden, diese Aufgabe beanspruchte der Kulturfonds der DDR. Einzig die Unterstützung verarmter Schriftstellerwitwen blieb bestehen.

1987 konnten ca. 2500 historische Akten aus der Deutschen Staatsbibliothek (DDR) an die Deutsche Schillerstiftung rückgeführt werden. Sie sind heute Depositum im Goethe- und Schiller-Archiv Weimar.

Wende und Neuanfang 1995
Im Jahre 1991 berief der Minister für Wissenschaft und Kultur des Landes Thüringen einen neuen Stiftungsrat, der bis zur Erstellung und Genehmigung einer neuen Satzung kommissarisch die Stiftung leiten sollte. Ihm gehörten Schriftsteller, Literaturwissenschaftler, Museumsleute, Juristen und hohe Verwaltungsbeamte an: Gerhard Dette (Darmstadt), Eberhard Dünninger (München), Lothar Ehrlich (Weimar), Harald Hartung (Berlin), Norbert Oellers (Bonn), Ulrich Ott (Marbach a. N.), Peter Rieck (Weimar), Hartmut Vogel (Bonn). Es stellte sich jedoch heraus, dass die Stiftung rechtlich nicht mehr existierte.

Diese komplizierte und unsichere Situation der Stiftung sollte durch Gutachten geklärt werden. Dies zog sich bis 1994 hin; nicht zuletzt um die Besitzverhältnisse der Weimarer Schillerstiftung im Westen zu bestimmen. Große Unterstützung erfuhren die Treuhänder durch den Freistaat Bayern und die Kester-Haeusler-Ehrengabe.

Die "alte" Stiftung konnte nun liquidiert werden, die Wiedergründung als Deutsche Schillerstiftung von 1859 als rechtsfähige Stiftung des bürgerlichen Rechts wurde im September 1995 mit einem Festakt in Weimar begangen. Durch den Verkauf der Villa Otto Braun wurde ein finanzielles Grundvermögen erzielt, auf dessen Grundlage die Fördertätigkeit der wiedergegründeten Stiftung steht.

Brand New Sin – United State
By RingMaster Review on October 9, 2011 • ( 0 )
Already an acclaimed and fervently followed band Brand New Sin return with their fifth album United State, a release bursting with compulsive and formidable hard rock sounds and strongly provocative lyrics that tap into the thoughts and feelings of the world today. The band from Syracuse, New York fully focused attention on themselves with their previous album Distilled in 2009. Now with United State they have raised the stakes higher with songs that ripple with confidence and defiance against the wrongs of the world from an autobiographical view that is rife within a big majority.
Released October 11th via Goomba Music United State flows with hard rock songs tinged with attitude not far removed from original punk which at times overflows into the sound to great effect as in the striking 'Your Song And Dance', a song bristling with bustling drums behind a sound reminiscent of Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers mixed with The Clash fused into a great rock 'n' roll blast.
On the whole though the album delivers engaging and forceful hard rock sounds starting with the opening track of 'The Lord Came Down'. With an eager riff and exited rhythms the quartet of Kris Wiechmann (vocals/guitar), Chuck Kahl (bass), Kevin Dean (drums), and new lead guitarist Tommy Matkowski stand tall as they unveil the song and what is ahead throughout the album, a strong and impressive start that opens up the album with a firm welcome.
'Know Yourself' steps up next with a heavy robust riff and intense hard rock play infused with a creative solo that trips into the ear very easily and is the first indication of the band's variety of sound and influences within the release. From this heavy brute of a song Brand New Sin switch to a Thin Lizzy grounding in 'All My Wheels' a song that is destined to be many a fan's favourite followed by a southern bluesy gem in 'Rotten As Hell'. Though there is a core sound to their music the band bring a distinct and varied spice to each song that makes United State vibrant and enjoyable.
The album is consistent but some tracks lift it more than others with a spark within that at times is less defined in others. The Dr Feelgood like 'Bed Of Nails' is gloriously incessant and pulsating and impossible not to join in with whilst the album's best track 'Groups Of 5' is addictive with a mesmerising hook and lively riffs. Both set the senses racing alongside the great rock 'n' roll moments of 'The Cup And The Lip' and 'Goddess Of War', another two stirring tracks in sound and lyrics delivered firmly and nicely by Wiechmann.
There are no real flaws to United State but it has to be said there are times when the flame blazes more dimly in some tracks than others that keeps it from really inspiring the emotions and makes one feel there is something missing occasionally, though despite saying that the album is a fine slice of rock and it is hard to think of many that have rivalled it so far this year.
The album contains a cover of the AC/DC track 'What Do You Do For Money' and the CD format has the added bonus of a cover of Black Sabbath´s 'The Wizard' which slide in alongside the band's original compositions nicely. United State is a fine album that fires up rhythms and rock riffs to satisfy and delight the ear and even without that extra something to elevate it into a classic it is a release that one revisits time and time again.

Managers downgrading SFDR fund labels
by Silvia Saccardi 5 December 2022
Off the back of several updates to the SFDR, along with delays to the new rules, several managers have opted to downgrade the labelling of their funds.
Last month, European regulators announced a delay to the review of PAI (principle adverse impact) indicators and SFDR RTS (regulatory technical standards) by six months until October 2023.
The European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) have highlighted a potential significant development to be a review of its Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) framework. This is likely to entail a more standardised and objective strategy for GPs to adhere to, as there is currently no specified method to apply the framework.
Minimum standards and thresholds are also expected to be elevated for Article 8 & Article 9 products to reflect the crackdown on greenwashing.
To aid the implementation of RTS, the ESAs published a Q&A in an attempt to demystify the upcoming legislation. Key areas include understanding PAI indicators in practice, definitions of socially sustainable investments, completion of fund-level templates under RTS, and good governance. The Q&A was released in the context of fund managers finalising Article 8 & 9 product closures. Guidance was provided on how to use PAI indicators in practice as the legislation proves confusing for many.
ESMA is currently consulting on its guidelines for fund names using ESG and sustainability-related terms. The consultation closes in February 2023 with the expectation of publishing the final guidelines by Q3/Q4 2023. More on this can be found here.
At the expense of a label
The tightening regulations around fund names along with the possible introduction of a minimum threshold for Article 8 & 9 funds has potentially caused an increase in fund managers downgrading their fund labels.
For example, Amundi and DekaBank have all recently announced that they will be downgrading their Article 9 funds. Eve Ellis, partner at Ropes & Gray, believes there are three potential reasons for this: "Firstly, in June, there was guidance published which clarified that if you're an Article 9 fund, all your investments need to be sustainable. Another reason is that again, a few months back, there were some questions that were raised to the European Commission around what is the definition of a sustainable investment. Lastly, the review of the PAI guidelines has been pushed back and one point mentioned when this was done was whether there should be baseline cons thresholds for the do no significant harm concept. This is a key component to whether something is a sustainable investment. A combination of these factors may make it harder for a fund to be Article 9 eligible."
In addition, the latest SFDR updates are following a constant course of divergence against the UK's ESG guidelines post-Brexit. For example, the FCA recently launched a working group co-chaired by asset manager M&G, LSE Group, law firm Slaughter & May and credit rating giant Moody. Its stakeholders include ESG data and rating providers as well as investors. The voluntary UK-based ESG conduct group has been created with its own set of guidelines to adhere to.
When asked how GPs could navigate the amount of regulation required under different jurisdictions, Ellis advises: "I think GPs are definitely grappling with complying with the different requirements, which are similar, but by no means consistent. One of the biggest practical pieces of advice that we give to clients on SFDR implementation is to think about it at an early stage in the product launch. This ensures everyone is on the same page as to the direction of travel that you're going from an ESG perspective."
In June 2022, the ESAs clarified the SFDR and Taxonomy Regulation in a statement.
It addressed a number of queries following the final published regulatory technical standards (RTS) in April, particularly around disclosure requirements and the use of sustainability indicators.
The clarification of the technical standards followed two rounds of delays, one in September and one in November 2021, to the application of the SFDR's second phase, currently scheduled for January 2023.

Miller-McCune is reporting today on a Personality and Social Psychology study indicating that a connection to nature not only has stress-reducing and healing qualities, but that it also makes us kinder people. Green spaces promote selflessness, empathy, and peaceful coexistence. How do Big Think experts weigh in?
Zen Master Den Genpo Merzel, Roshi found enlightenment on a mountain in California's Mojave Desert near Jawbone Canyon. Alan Weisman, author of the The World Without Us, also connects nature to spirituality, explaining how it gave him a reverence for life. Majora Carter told Big Think about the importance of green areas to urban spaces, and chronicled the human costs of environmental degradation.
So nature's power is not disputed by Big Thinkers—but are there solutions for those of us stuck in an office cubicle? According to an Environment and Behavior study, all it takes is an image of a natural scene to ease stress significantly. So listen to photographer Sebastian Copeland's advice on shooting landscapes, get a good photo, and become kinder naturally.


Your kindness meant so much to me.
I really appreciate all that you have provided for me during my practicum. I've learned so much from you and knowing you has changed my life! I couldn't ask for a better practicum experience by being at a place in line with my philosophy and belief system and greatly expanding my knowledge base. Thanks for your support and encouragement. As I've told you I want to volunteer at night (phone call basis) and hopefully can be more a part of the center when I leave Cephalon.

After Acquiring Chris Paul And Locking Up James Harden, Carmelo Anthony Is The Next Target For The Houston Rockets
By Joey Held on July 14, 2017 in Articles › Sports News
The Houston Rockets have been busy this offseason, trading for Chris Paul and signing James Harden to a record-setting contract extension. They also signed wing P.J. Tucker to a four-year deal, adding additional depth to their bench.
There's still one more major move they want to make: getting Carmelo Anthony.
Multiple sources around the league, including Adrian Wojnarowski and Brian Windhorst of ESPN, have said the Rockets are turning their "full attention" to Anthony. He'll waive his no-trade clause for the right team – which is reportedly either the Rockets or the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cavs are the frontrunners to land Anthony thanks to the eight-time All-Star's friendship with LeBron James. Cleveland also has a bit more flexibility with salary, though both teams have a lot of money on the books.
Houston, in fact, is already over the salary cap. Anthony is due $54.2 million over the next two seasons, which includes an $8.1 million "trade kicker." Anthony could waive part or all of the trade kicker; if he doesn't, he'll make $34.4 million next season. The Rockets would have to give up an equal amount of salaries in any trade.
That's a lot of work Rockets GM Daryl Morey has to do to make an Anthony trade work. Ryan Anderson is a prime candidate to be dealt, but with three years and $60 million remaining on his contract, few teams – the Knicks included – want to actually take his contract. Trevor Ariza is likely a more appealing trade chip for the Knicks since he's only owed $7.4 million before his contract expires next offseason.
Even trading both of them would require the Rockets to shed about $8 million in additional salary, assuming Anthony keeps his trade kicker. Also working against the Rockets is that they don't have their own 2018 first-round draft pick, which was traded to the Clippers in the deal for Paul.
Finally, the Rockets have to consider Anthony's relationship with the team's current head coach, Mike D'Antoni. D'Antoni was in New York for two seasons but resigned midway through the 2011-12 season. That was in part due to major differences with Anthony.
For the time being, it appears Anthony is willing to put aside any misgivings to try and win a championship. His list of teams he'll go to his down to two, and now it's up to those teams to find the salary cap space to score a player who could be the missing piece to contend with the Warriors come next postseason.

Marius Böttcher Ehem. Junior Fellow
Marius Böttcher studied media design (BFA.) and media culture (Diploma) at the Bauhaus-University Weimar, was student-assistant of (DEFA-Director) Günter Reisch, worked for different film projects and was co-publisher of the Kinoheft. Till today he works as a cinematographer for different TV and movie productions. Since February 2010 he is a Junior Fellow at the IKKM.
Dated from 2010
PhD-project: Construction sites in DEFA-film
On the emergence and disappearance of things. Building sites and ruins in DEFA films.
The building site as location for intersecting layers of space and time can, in cinematographic terms, not only be reconstructed here, but recorded at the very moment of its emergence. The filmic no man's lands, makeshift solutions and construction plans simulate transformations which allow the emergence and collapse of things to be observed as a completion of the incomplete objects on the screen. What happens when the unfinished buildings offer an unobstructed view of the landscape? What is the film's attitude to the things which are not yet visible? The not-yet-places of the fallow land between finished building projects and surveyed building sites, the presence of the virtual, the emergence of a process which in its truest sense aims solely at disappearance. The building site is defined by objects, implements and technical devices which seek not just to break it up but to eliminate it completely.
With this, a space is revealed which is limited, designed and only thus made present – only to then be placed in a new visibility. Not only is a new orientation of inside and outside, visibility and absence being enacted here, however; the threshold of the temporal is also moving considerably closer. It is this moment of historicity which, particularly when considering the filmic building sites, becomes relevant to the project. Thus the DEFA's building sites, in contrast to the international cinema of modernity, evidently deal with this particularly judiciously. But what does it matter that this approach is so obviously different?
The work at the fault line which is to be pursued here involves a hunt for clues between these very construction plans, architectural models, detonations, fragments of wall and ruins. These are architectural remains which apparently experience a historicity, which spread out as a juxtaposition in the image of the DEFA and pile up on top of each other, in such a way that, at the edges of concrete structures, between new buildings and ruined remains of old ones, it is these amorphous overlappings and gaps which seek to look at temporality in a different way. The project aims to focus more closely on this, considering the building site both in general, cinematographically speaking, and as a central motif of DEFA films in particular.
Areas of research:
Media theory and history
Theory and history of cinematographical objects Aesthetics,
theory and history of the DEFA
Pictures of disturbances and stopped movements

Early contact ends Alexander Rossi's IndyCar title hopes
Scott Horner
Alexander Rossi's chance at winning the IndyCar Series title took a big hit moments after the green flag flew in the season finale at Sonoma Raceway
Rossi was charging from his sixth starting position when he rammed into the rear of his teammate, Marco Andretti, who started fourth.
"He lifted or I misjudged. It is what it is," Rossi told NBC Sports after the race.
Rossi suffered front wing damage as well as a cut front tire and needed to pit. Though he has a lot of work to do to catch Scott Dixon in both the race and championship, he didn't lose a lap to the field initially but did on a later stop.
At one point, Rossi fell a lap behind in 24th place, but finished seventh. Dixon, who maintained second place to Ryan Hunter-Reay throughout the race, won his fifth championship.

Toward the middle of the race, Rossi passed Dixon in an effort to get back on the lead lap. By the race was at the mid point, he had passed his teammate Hunter-Reay to get back on the lead lap.
After getting back on the lead lap, he muscled his way from 24th place to seventh by Lap 58. He got as close as fifth place before Andretti and Sebastien Bourdais passed him as his tires began to wear out.

WDI Helps Launch New Student-Run International Investment Fund
Members of the International Investment Fund and MADE MAP teams working in India this past March.
WDI is partnering with the Ross School of Business and Finance Professor Gautam Kaul to establish a curriculum-based, student-run international investment fund at the University of Michigan, believed to be the first of its kind at a U.S. university.
The fund, called the International Investment Fund (IIF), will target small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in India. Graduate students enrolled at Ross and in joint-degree programs with other U-M schools and colleges will be responsible for investing, managing and growing the investment portfolio as part of a course at Ross. WDI has worked closely with Kaul to develop the fund and made an initial financial commitment to the fund.
And while the course at Ross won't begin until winter semester in 2020, work has been ongoing for multiple years. This past winter a Ross student MBA team sponsored by WDI traveled to India to conduct an initial round of due diligence on local SMEs to assess the viability of the process and the potential for investments. Students and Ross faculty are also working to establish a protocol for the fund and received assistance from the University of Michigan Law School on the legal requirements on both the U.S. and Indian sides.
Forty students applied to be part of the fund and the class and 13 were selected. They will travel to India in August to conduct more work and due diligence on SMEs. Another 13 students will be added during the next academic year, Kaul said, and the eventual target for the fund is 35-40 student advisors all chosen after a rigorous application and interview process.
Kaul, who started Ross' successful Social Venture Fund, said he has thought about an international fund for years and has received encouragement from students to start one. He said he started work with some second- and third-year MBA, Erb Institute and public policy graduate students on the idea about four years ago. He said it became obvious he couldn't replicate the Social Venture Fund, which invests only in the U.S.
Professor Gautam Kaul
"It's quite an adventure to go to another country and initiate something so complex," said Kaul, the Robert G. Rodkey Collegiate Professor of Business Administration & Professor of Finance. "Just to get to know the system takes a while."
He also said the university and Ross didn't want to start this alone, but potential international partners on the ground "wanted proof of concept."
Kaul approached WDI President Paul Clyde to see if the institute was interested in partnering because of its global focus and work with budding entrepreneurs. Clyde said the idea of an international investment fund "fit with our Finance sector goals, which is to figure out ways to make funding available at a lower cost to small- and medium-sized enterprises."
Additionally, in 2017 WDI, the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies at Ross and the Aparajitha Foundations in India established the Michigan Academy for the Development of Entrepreneurs (MADE), a nonprofit institute. MADE works with entrepreneurship development organizations (EDOs) in the Tamil Nadu state of India to give individuals operating businesses in these environments the knowledge and best practices they need to thrive.
Kaul said it is a "huge advantage" that WDI has a partner on the ground in India already working with entrepreneurs.
Twenty-seven SMEs recently completed a business development program managed by MADE and its EDO, Poornatha. The entrepreneurs took monthly classes at MADE designed to help them develop financial projections, future financial plans and other necessities for potential funders, including complete financial statements.
Clyde said each of the 27 SMEs are entrepreneurs with a vision where they want to go, who have identified areas they saw as opportunities for growth and are in need of capital investment.
WDI President Paul Clyde
"And we know something about their character," he said. "Through MADE, our partner has spent a lot of time getting to know them. They weren't a random group of people. Further, we had always planned to add financing to the array of products and services offered by MADE.
"So when Gautam called with this opportunity to marry what we were already doing with MADE with this investment fund, it seemed like a perfect fit."
Kaul said he hopes the fund will make its first investment by the end of 2020. He said if the fund was making an investment in the U.S. it would take two months to do a deep due diligence after identifying a potential start up following some pre-screening.
"In the context of this Indian initiative, it's never been done so it could take nine months," he said. "The purpose here is to make an investment and hope it starts paying off. But all profits go back into the fund so we can invest in someone else."
Kaul said the course and the investment fund is "very applied, on-the-ground, experiential" and what he thinks is the future of university education.
"It is very complex, which makes me very excited," he said. "It has got the beginnings of what I think is the future of global education. It will differentiate Ross. You're not coming here sitting in a classroom – well, maybe for the first six months – but after that you're all over the world.
"You're not learning just from faculty but from the environment and everything else. That's what the demand is for."
Kaul said WDI has been a great partner and instrumental in making the fund a reality. While WDI is located on campus and strongly affiliated with the university, its independence gives it flexibility and maneuverability for projects such as the investment fund.
"Without WDI, I would have given up," he said.
Clyde said in addition to the initial investment, WDI will support the travel needs of the students running the fund. Kaul is the faculty advisor for the fund and Clyde said he will help where needed and continue to be closely involved.
Kaul said the fund appeals to students who want an international, hands-on experience, but may also want to work in global settings.
"If you want to go to India and eat Indian food, this is not for you," he said. "This is serious stuff. You have to worry about global issues, you have to worry about India, and you must take ownership of your learning. If you go there, you should be keen on learning from and helping people on the ground."

• The market size of an online food delivery business is ever increasing. Having a mobile app will further pave the way for new growth opportunities.
• Having a mobile app will increase both convenience and transparency for your users thus helping build trust among them.
• A good mobile app will help you retain old customers and increase the possibility to attract new ones.
Make sure that your food app has all the necessary features. A simple and easy to use interface will help more and more people use your app and thus increase its popularity.
People ordering food online look forward to prompt service. Giving them a rough estimate of time will help them choose restaurants according to their time availability.
Factors like open hours and menus etc. can greatly help users when trying to order food.
Given the rise in online frauds, people have become wary of choosing online payment options. Make sure that your payment gateway is SSL protected as it will increase trust among the users.
The tracking feature is another important factor to include in your food delivery app. People love to know the whereabouts of their order and this will help them stay informed.
People love to write about their experience when they love something. Giving them a space to do so will add credibility to your food delivery app.
Technology is always changing and having an app which is up to date will help you gain new customers as well as maintaining the regular ones.
A food delivery app connects users with their favorite restaurants but you need people to make the delivery. Having a team of well-trained delivery partners will help improve the quality of your service thus making sure that more and more people are using your app to order food.
If you are in a food delivery business you might say yes to every restaurant who wants to partner with you. But this may not necessarily lead to an increase your users. You have to be judicious when selecting the partners. Opt restaurants with high ratings and positive reviews. Check them on a range of criteria such as taste, variety, hygiene, and presentation etc.
The very first step towards developing your mobile app is deciding on your target audience and researching the market for it. As it goes food apps are mostly used by people who have a busy lifestyle which may include students and working professionals etc.
Before you start, make sure to do in-depth research about the target audience, market size etc. and have all the necessary information that you may need during your food delivery mobile app development process.
Furthermore, do a competitor's analysis so as to learn from their practices and use them to your advantage.
Technology is an important aspect to consider when building a food delivery app. Hence, given the budget and depending on the features needed the technology may vary from PHP to ruby. Other features to consider are deciding between Android and iOS, native or hybrid mobile apps etc.
Deciding on a food delivery app framework can be confusing. A food delivery app should be easy to use. It should further include all the necessary features. Once you decide to build a food delivery app you might be tempted to include all the possible features. But this will not only increase your budget but make your app complex to operate.
Cost is an important factor to consider when deciding to build your food delivery app. Depending on the number of features you are planning to include, the technology you have selected and the food delivery app development team you have hired the final pricing may exceed your budget. The important thing is to make sure that your food delivery app has maximum feature, is simple and easy to use and doesn't increase the cost beyond your budget.
You should also take into account the maintenance cost that will be required to upgrade it to the latest version after it has been released in the market.
Once your food delivery app is ready, testing the app for any possible bugs and errors before it is being launched in the market is extremely important. A beta launch will give an insight into the possible errors which can be fixed before the final launch of the food delivery app.

First day One Time and Enough: Verification of Extracts Works; We Solved Questions and Requirements Immediately
As of 1 September, the authorities are forbidden to require extracts from the Companies and Trade Registers and Real Estate Register from citizens, as they can find them themselves in common registers. On the first working day, which was 3rd September, the authorities passed to a new style of work without any more serious problems. Of 7,090 registered users of OverSi portal, through which public officers can access citizens' data, 1,862 entities logged in on Monday.
"The law against bureaucracy, which has allowed relieving the people from the first three extracts, is the beginning of a new era of communication between citizens and entrepreneurs with the authorities. But, as with every novelty, here too we have had to prepare for the questions and problems of the users. That's why we launched the stopbyrokracii.sk website with the information, contacts and, in particular, a possibility to file a complaint with the authority that would require one of the extracts. We are trying to provide maximum support to our communities and authorities, and we respond to their demands promptly," said Richard Rasi, Deputy Prime Minister for Investment and Informatization. On Monday, the ODPMII received two such reports. The Deputy Prime Minister also added that officers of any authorities that have breached the law will be first warned thereof by the anti-bureaucratic team of the ODPMII staff and, in case of a repeated breach, his Office may penalize such institutions.
On Monday 3 September, 79 questions and requests arrived at the stopbyrokracii@vicepremier.gov.sk e-mail address. About 42 telephone requests were handled on Friday and Monday by the Central Contact Centre. Employees of authorities were interested, for example, in how to gain access, or where to send registration requests. They were also given methodological guidelines and interpretations to the law on bureaucracy itself. The technical problems particularly include a necessity to log in with a public static IP address in authorities that are not part of the Govnet network. On Monday, September 3, 2018, 182 extracts were requested through the OverSi system by officers. Other hundreds of extracts were verified by officers through their systems integrated with the Central Reference Data Administration (CSR).
The law against bureaucracy entered in force in September 1, 2018. It concerns about 40,000 officers, who have been used to ask extracts from people for years. For public authorities that are not integrated into the Central Reference Data System, there is the OverSi portal at https://oversi.gov.sk/, where they can find the necessary extracts. To help work with it, a simulation has been prepared for users with the tasks and comments that are available at http://stopbyrokracii.sk/skoliace-materialy-a-prirucky/. Questions about the law against bureaucracy or access issues will also be answered by the staff of the Central Contact Centre at the telephone number +421 2 35 803 083, which the officers can turn to on workdays from Monday to Friday from 08:00 a.m. to 06:00 p.m. Every Wednesday, the Central Contact Centre's working hours are extended until 09:00 p.m.

FRANKLYWNOW - Rustic Goat food truck transformed into cooking classroom
Rustic Goat food truck transformed into cooking classroom
Friday, October 30, 2015 12:49 AM EDT
poster="http://d14rj7v0r2qnrv.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/30055804/food-truck-west-high_thumb31.jpg" data="{}" width="auto" height="auto"

Lunch hour is among the busiest times of day in the restaurant business. Thursday, the Rustic Goat restaurant parked a food truck at West High School and students got a break from the typical cafeteria food.
"The food is really, really good. I'm impressed," said senior Kimberly Hartman.
She's impressed because the chefs who cooked the food are her classmates. They're members of the school's Prostart team, which is a program developed by the National Restaurant Association to promote school-to-career learning.
Senior Sydney Steele is the school's Prostart team captain.
"It takes us all working as a team and everybody knowing what their job is," Steel said.
The teens created a menu which included barbecue ribs, buffalo hot wings and a cubano sandwich. They cooked the food inside the truck and got a taste of what it's like to work in a restaurant kitchen.
Their coach, Rustic Goat executive chef Adam Marcum, happens to also be a West High alumn.
"It's sort of a forgotten craft and there's not a lot of people coming out of high school that want to be a chef," Marcum explained. "To get these kids inspired now is a big deal for me."
All the money made at the food truck this week will help the team prepare for a statewide cooking competition.
"Whoever wins the competition goes to the Lower 48 to compete nationally," Steel said.
This West High team has never placed in Alaska, but judging by the popularity of their food, this might be their year.

Obsessive compulsive disorder is characterized by time consuming, repetitive behaviors and affects about 2 percent of humans, while the equally distressing canine equivalent, canine compulsive disorder, or CCD, seems to target certain dog breeds, especially Dobermans and Bull Terriers. For over a decade, behaviorists Drs. Dodman and Moon-Fanelli, at Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine collected blood samples from carefully characterized Doberman patients exhibiting flank- and/or blanket-sucking compulsive behaviors, as well as healthy, unaffected Doberman. In 2001, Edward Ginns, PhD, MD, head of the Program in Medical Genetics at UMass Medical School, joined the effort, enabling genetic studies that culminated in the genome wide association study that began in 2007 using the canine Affymetrix genotyping array at the Broad Institute.
The chromosome 7 location most significantly associated with CCD is located within the neural cadherin-2 gene, CDH2. CDH2 is widely expressed, mediating synaptic activity-calcium flux related neuronal adhesion. Dogs showing multiple compulsive behaviors had a higher frequency of the "risk" associated DNA sequence than dogs with a less severe phenotype (60 and 43%, respectively, compared with 22% in unaffected dogs). This highly significant association of CCD with the CDH2 gene region on chromosome 7 is the first genetic locus identified for any animal compulsive disorder, and raises the intriguing possibility that CDH2 and other neuronal adhesion proteins are involved in human compulsive behaviors, including those observed in autism spectrum disorder. The neural cadherin-2 gene, CDH2, is an especially attractive candidate disease gene as it is involved in mediating presynaptic to postsynaptic neuronal junction adhesion, neuronal axon outgrowth and guidance in the central nervous system during development when critical brain nerve networks are established.
"The CDH2 gene is expressed in the hippocampus, a brain region suspected to be involved in OCD. In addition, this gene oversees structures and processes that are possibly instrumental in propagating compulsive behaviors - for example, the formation and proper functioning of glutamate receptors," said Dr. Nicholas Dodman, professor of clinical sciences at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University and the study's lead author. Dr. Dodman added that "this finding is congruent with current evidence that NMDA blockers are effective in the treatment of OCD."
"The occurrence of repetitive behaviors and similarities in response to drug treatments in both canine CCD and human OCD suggest that common pathways are involved" said Dr. Ginns, professor of Clinical Pathology, Neurology, Pediatrics, Psychiatry and Neuroscience at UMass Medical School. Dr. Ginns is hopeful that "our finding will lead to a better understanding of the biology of compulsive disorder and facilitate development of genetic tests, enabling earlier interventions and even treatment or prevention of compulsive disorders in at-risk canines and humans." "This lead is so intriguing that we look forward to working with Dr. Dodman's group to extend our current findings to other populations." added Dr. Marzena Galdzicka, assistant professor of Clinical Pathology at UMass Medical School. Collaborations are already in progress with Dr. Dennis Murphy's group at the National Institute of Mental Health to determine the extent to which CDH2 confers risk for human OCD and autism spectrum disorders.
