September News: Fur Bans that Aren't Really Bans

Two fur "bans" that aren't fur bans grabbed the headlines in September. Even if there's just a smell of a possible ban, animal rights advocates always trumpet it to the heavens because it increases pressure on policymakers to pass one if the media and public believe it's a fait accompli.
The Los Angeles city council voted to have legislation drafted that would ban fur retail and manufacturing. The proposal is facing stiff opposition, not just from the fur trade, but that didn't stop animal activists - and some of the media - from announcing a done deal. The Fur Information Council of America and the International Fur Federation are calling this "fake news".
Most of the media, thankfully, realised that a ban is a long way from actually passing into law, have been sceptical about its merits, and have given space to opposing views. "LA should scrap its ban on fur," wrote Will Coggin of the Center for Consumer Freedom in the Washington Examiner. "Pro-fur officials challenge L.A. city council's vote on fur sales ban," reported Women's Wear Daily.
The National Post gave voice to Nancy Daigneault and Mark Oaten of the International Fur Federation, who wrote: "This is public policy based on lies, flawed studies and false allegations as those proposing the ban have not proactively reached out to the fur industry to learn about the high animal welfare and environmental standards in place. Nor have they learned about sustainability in a meaningful way."
Another fur "ban" which wasn't really a fur ban was at London Fashion Week. The British Fashion Council, which organises the event, opted to play a risky game by announcing that no fur would be shown at this year's event. Of course, animal rights groups and much of the media announced this as a ban (see, for example, this article by Fashion Network), but the Fashion Council insisted there was no ban. It was simply a case of no designers choosing to show fur. So why did they even bother to announce it? Presumably in the hope animal rights activists would stay away.
At Milan Fashion Week in 2016, Prada (above) vied with Gucci for the amount of fur they could show. Since then, Gucci has (in)famously gone fur-free. Photo sourced from The Gloss.
Meanwhile, animal rights groups continue to pressure designer brands to drop fur. The latest to fold is Burberry, and now the heat is being ramped up on Prada. Note again how activists and the media always refer to these as "bans" when they're nothing of the sort. Burberry (or whoever) has not "banned" fur; it's merely decided to stop using it for now. And almost all of these brands will continue using shearling (sheep fur), not to mention python, crocodile, and other exotic leathers.
As for how the trade will ride out this trend of fur bans (real or imagined), Truth About Fur's blog asks: "After the siege: What is the future of fur?"
Meanwhile, we all know how important social media are to animal activists, so here's an in-depth look at how they're used against the fur trade: "How social media is pushing fur out of fashion".
International Fur Federation News
REMIX 2018 winner Chunchen Liu (second from left) is a believer in the sustainability of fur. Center is one of Chunchen's winning creations. Joining her, left to right, are Sara Maino Sozzani, deputy editor in chief of Vogue Italia and head of Vogue Talents; Tamu McPherson of All The Pretty Birds; and IFF CEO Mark Oaten.
Last month, the International Fur Federation launched two fashion campaigns, the Natural Wonder campaign and the Fur Now campaign, to highlight the importance of responsible fashion, informed consumer choice, and the sustainability of fur.
Also, Women's Wear Daily ran a feature entitled "Fur: A sustainable, versatile choice" on Chunchen Liu, winner of the REMIX 2018 competition organised by the IFF with the support of Vogue Talents. (Download the whole issue in PDF here.) Having now produced a collection with Saga Furs, Chunchen is already proving herself an informed advocate for fur. "Fur has strong sustainable credentials," she told WWD. "Unlike comparable petroleum-based synthetics made of plastic, natural fur is a completely biodegradable material, which does not further burden nature. Every stage of fur production is sustainable. ..: Also, natural fur lasts for decades if professionally cared for, unlike chemical-based fur that ends up in landfill sites often after a single season. Fur can also be passed down through generations and remodeled and restyled in a variety of ways to keep it modern." We couldn't have said it better ourselves!
Picking on the Small Guy

Animal rights activists will pick on anyone, large or small, but they're never scarier than when they're going after small businesses.
Actress and fur lover Sarah Jessica Parker had hoped for a fun event to mark the opening of her new store in Manhattan, but instead the store was invaded by animal rights bullies chanting, "Fur trade, death trade." Fifty years ago, security would have thrown them headlong out the door, but if you do that today, their lawyers will be all over you.
Someone who can surely relate is Faye Rogers who opened a fur store in England and closed it in September after just four weeks. Business was good and then the protestors turned up, and 1,000 hate messages and threats arrived in four days from around the world. Said Rogers, "These trolls are hiding behind a mask of being vegan and animal-loving just so they can be nasty. They are bored and have nothing to do with their lives."
Meanwhile PETA has decided it wants to close down a New Brunswick company that processes lobster and crab shells into powder that is used in the bio-medical industry and as fertiliser. It sounds like a tremendous sustainable-use initiative, but of course PETA doesn't want us eating lobsters and crabs in the first place. And why not? "Lobsters are intelligent, sensitive people who do not want to be killed," according to a spokeswoman. You read that right, lobsters are "people"!
... and Some Good News
It's great to see that the company largely responsible for propelling coyote pelt prices to record levels is expanding its production. Canada Goose is about more than just coyote-trimmed, down-filled parkas, of course, but we should celebrate that a strong advocate both of fur and sustainable use is doing well. The new manufacturing facility, in Winnipeg, will be its seventh and largest, and create 700 new jobs.

So I have my quart of liquid plastic, molds, injector and coloring along with the heating supplies. Can I just heat up the plastic and add color or is there something else to add to make it solid?
So I'm about to start making some plastics and not sure of a few things... The first question is plastic vs aluminum molds. Is there a difference besides price on which one will be more durable? And the next question is about plastics. Is there a difference in brand? I know you can get soft or extra strength which will have less movement.

She suddenly thought of something. Was it the reason why Gu Canmo was asked to see The Lord this morning?
"Is this the only reason why you came to see me?" Gu Xijiu casually asked.
Yun Qingluo was stifled. She bit her lips and said, "I'm also here to thank you."
"If you did not help that time, I would have been exhausted to death. Therefore, I want to thank you."
"Alright, I accept it."Gu Xijiu was also direct, "However, I did not purposely save you."
Yun Qingluo took a deep breath, "I understand, but you saved my life so I must thank you."
"Well, I have received it. You don't have to follow me anymore." Gu Xijiu ran faster as she did not think that she could befriend Yun Qingluo.
"Other than thank you, I have something else to say." Yun Qingluo caught up.
Gu Xijiu finally stopped her footsteps, "Alright, you can say it now."
Yun Qingluo looked at the girl in front of her. She inhaled and exhaled again, "What I want to say is that I very much appreciate the fact that you have saved my life. However, I will not give up going after Celestial Master Zuo. I have liked him for many years…."
Her voice was quivering, "You can't imagine how much I like him… Gu Xijiu, I know that you are very skillful. There are a lot of men falling for you, even The Lord cares about you… You are indeed great now, so please don't compete with me in my pursuit to win Celestial Master Zuo, is that okay?"
Yun Qingluo's eyes were teary, "I don't request for anything from other men. I only like Celestial Master Zuo. I fancy him like crazy. I practiced so hard for him. I became the heaven's gift disciple for him. I even… Everything I do is for him. You have no idea how hard I have tried just to be by his side…"
Her body was trembling slightly. She looked at Gu Xijiu, "Can you not compete with me anymore? As long as you can let go of him, I will do anything for you…"
Gu Xijiu pursed her lips. She was touched by the love and obsession Yun Qingluo had, but she did not agree to it.
Since this girl was so honest, Gu Xijiu decided to talk properly with her.
"Yun Qingluo, let me ask you. Does Celestial Master Zuo like you too?"
Yun Qingluo's face was slightly pale, "He will like me…"
"In other words, he still doesn't like you."
"No!" Yun Qingluo slightly raised her tone, "He should like me a little. Before I became the heaven's gift disciple, I was kidnapped. He was the one who came to save me and he talked a lot to me…"
Yun Qinglup was recalling her memory, "I believe he should have liked me a little at that time. He personally came to bring me home with his ride. He personally brought me to Feixing Kingdom and told the Emperor about my ident.i.ty so that the Emperor could arrange the best accommodation for me. He told me heaven's gift disciples should be treated greatly.
He treated me as a heaven's gift disciple since that time. Before the test, he had already taught me martial art. I had some defects in my vein and I was not able to practice one of the skills, but he personally refined the medicine for me… He asked me not to care about other things but to focus on my practice. You have no idea how happy I was that time…"
Gu Xijiu did not speak. She recalled her own experience. It seemed like the Celestial Master Zuo knew that she was not the real heaven's gift disciple so he kept calling her the fake one and wanted to prank her.
It also seemed like Celestial Master Zuo had the ability to tell if someone was a heaven's gift disciple without the need to test them on the Open Heaven Stage.

DID YOU GET A NOTICE? FIND OUT WHAT TO DO!
They contain the most important information on the debt: the basis thereof, i.e. where did the debt generate and what is its amount, date of repayment, and the number of the account to which the amounts are to be paid. The letter informing about arrears also contains the case number, which will be useful during an interview with a KRUK adviser.
It is best to call us and have an honest conversation about your financial situation. The adviser will help you find the best solution. Remember, the sooner the better. The debt is increased by interest every day and the creditor can take the case to court or enter you on the list of debtors of an economic information bureau at any time. Why expose yourself to additional costs and trouble when the case can be solved with one phone call.
The debt is so large that you cannot afford repayment? A KRUK adviser will help you split your debt into instalments tailored to your financial capabilities. This way, by signing an instalment agreement, you will avoid many problems and unpleasantness, e.g. taking the case to court, enforcement proceedings, and entry into an economic information bureau. Check the benefits of debt repayment in instalments. Talk about it with our adviser.
Make a standing order at your bank or find another way to remember about the payment of instalments. An instalment is a much lighter burden than the repayment of debt in a single payment, therefore you will be able to pay it every month. This will enable you to get out of debt smoothly, step by step. This way you will regain peace of mind and in an instance you will enjoy a life without debt. You can also see your agreement on the Internet.
Since 2008, KRUK has been present on the market. In that time we have helped many people to leave their debts behind. We are aware that running into debts is often caused by fortuitous events like losing your job, illness, unexpected expenses, or even currency movements. Sometimes the reason can be also an overestimation of one's potential and incurring liabilities that later on are impossible to pay off. We also know that going into debts isn't permanent and sooner or later one eventually is "out of the woods." All you need is just to make some effort and be willing to talk frankly with a financial advisor. That is why to all those that went into debts without acting in bad faith or fell victim to a fraud, we offer an amicable way of getting out of debts. What does that mean? It means that we are willing to talk with our Customers to find consensus and possible to meet conditions of paying the debts, tailored to the financial potential of our customers. Without unnecessary stress, additional expenses to cover the costs of legal proceedings or debt enforcements, or the risk of being registered by the economic information bureau, owing to which our customers gradually—step by step—walk out of the financial "woods" and solve their problems with debts. See for yourself and contact our advisor. See, what we have to offer.

Learning from successes in agricultural development is now more urgent than ever. Progress in feeding the world's billions has slowed, while the challenge of meeting future food needs remains enormous and is subject to new uncertainties in the global food and agricultural systems. In the late 1950s around a billion people were estimated to go hungry every day. Scientists, policymakers, farmers, and ordinary people initiated a concerted push to boost agricultural production and productivity in developing countries. Great strides were also made in improving the quality of food and the ability of vulnerable people to access food needed for survival. All these efforts have done more than just feed millions. They have also demonstrated that agriculture can be a key driver of growth and development for many of the world's poorest countries.

The State of Food and Agriculture 2008 explores the implications of the recent rapid growth in production of biofuels based on agricultural commodities. The boom in liquid biofuels has been largely driven by policies in developed countries in support of climate-change mitigation, energy security and agricultural development. The growing demand for agricultural commodities for the production of biofuels is having significant repercussions on agricultural markets, and concerns are mounting over their negative impact on the food security of millions of people across the world. At the same time, the environmental impacts of biofuels are also coming under closer scrutiny. But biofuels also offer the opportunity for agricultural and rural development — if appropriate policies and investments are put in place.
Agriculture for Sustainable Economic Development: A Global R&D Initiative to Avoid a Deep and Complex Crisis.
World agriculture has entered a new, unsustainable, and politically risky period. Agriculture—and the natural resources it depends on—has been overexploited ecologically, has suffered from underinvestment, has recently been exposed to ill-designed bio-energy programs, and has been politically sidelined for too long. It is now at a critical point. Appropriate responses to the food and agriculture price and productivity crises are lacking. A global initiative for accelerated agriculture productivity is necessary now; such an initiative makes economic sense, is pro-poor and sustainable, and serves security. The initiative needs political leadership and coordination. There is no effective governance architecture at the global level and national levels to address the matter. Industrialized economies, including the United States, should substantially accelerate their investment in international agricultural research and development (R&D) in cooperation with new players.


Or so one feels at the time.
The party's over – now let's dance.
and I send my to you.
that brings life awake so as to deaden the pain.
I have loved none so cruel as you.
an eager and hapless child.
were blood hot and mine.
a tomb for a dead word.
to the heart unclean in its purity.
and I carry the blade knowingly.
Blood spilt with no crass apology.
as it forcefully drives honestly.
that I am driving cruelly.
And alive in our own decay.
or when hearts are aching.
and yes, aching hearts can heal.
to step into exploration, awareness, and movement.
until we have to leave.
Loving you, you not loving me.
Lying here bereft dying alone.
Life is not a war against death.
Head and heart are of the same event.
Wider than I, deeper than I.
Love does not over flow.
From within this infinite container.
A distinctive breath not a separate gasp.
And tears are joyfully whole.
Until the next timeless turn.
Brings a profound feeling of home.

The Reed College Peer-Reviewed Journal, Presidents Summer Fellowship
By Jo Stewart '14, English on July 10, 2013 12:00 PM
The context for my President's Summer Fellowship engages three distinct elements, which combined, will serve to inform the final goal, the production of a new, peer-reviewed journal that will engage the diverse voices of Reed's students, faculty, and staff, spanning all departments. The elements include: To work as an intern at one of the seven internships at both literary magazines and publishing houses to which I have applied, in order to acquire the necessary skills to develop the foundation for a journal of this nature and to become well versed in the responsibilities of managing a publication. Secondly, I will conduct research at various colleges like Sarah Lawrence and Goucher College, who are already producing similar successful publications, and lastly, I will return to propose and implement my work here at Reed.
I'm sitting in a café on Lenox, between W 120th and 119th, thumbing through the most recent issue of Poetry, looking for something. I sit here nearly every weekend, usually at the small blue table near the window lined with cacti, various lit reviews and journals splayed out in front of me. What I'm looking for exactly is hard to say. Usually I'm looking at the brick wall opposite of me while incoming customers drift in and out of my line of sight. On occasion, I allow my eye to rest on a particularly well-sculpted backside, but mostly I sit and look searchingly at the texts before me. I look for a form, a word, a clue, anything that may lend me some direction with which to go forward.
My first month in New York was an adjustment. I started work at The Paris Review two days after I moved into my third floor apartment in Harlem. Despite the company of my fellow interns, the editors, and the unending, ever flowing crates and crates of submissions, there have been few times in my life—so far—that I have felt so keenly and deeply alone. One late night walking home, after having taken the wrong train twice and carrying two armfuls of groceries, it started to rain. I looked up into the yellowy orange glow of the old sodium vapour streetlights and contemplated removing the umbrella that was tucked away in my backpack, but decided against it. I walked especially slowly, making sure to wallow thoroughly in the melancholy the night seemed to demand. I thought, "This is what it means to be an adult," to come home, late at night, soaked-through and grocery ridden, without anyone to complain to. To put your groceries away, wash your face, resist calling your mother, and get into bed. Whether or not that night is an accurate example of what is means to be an adult, I have learned an incredible amount about myself, how I'd like to live, and how to be my own friend while spending so much time in my own company.
Since then, I've bought my first plant, accidently locked myself in the bathroom of an ice cream parlour in Williamsburg, met a writer I idolize, acquired a glossy collection of literary journals, and started taking a West African dance class. Thankfully, the weekends spent in various cafés and coffee shops have recently (as in yesterday) culminated in something tangible. I have finally worked out a solid concept to run with and will be collaborating with a close friend and brilliant graphic designer at Wesleyan on the publication's aesthetic. My next steps are to write a mission statement and recruit writers by early to mid July and conclude with about 10 printed prototypes by the time I return to Portland.

'Same government opposing boycotts allocates Dutch taxpayer money to NGOs that lobby for BDS'
BDS network infiltrating Holland
Op-ed: Will the Dutch government rise to prevent political warfare against Israel?
Emily Ziedman|Published: 01.26.14 , 17:05
The Netherlands is a consistent and strategic ally of Israel, and in recent months has promoted important initiatives to strengthen economic partnerships, including the Netherlands-Israel Cooperation forum.
Yet, at the same time, the Dutch government maintains ambiguous policies pertaining to political warfare against Israel, such as BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanctions) campaigns. This has left Dutch corporations vulnerable to a strong network of NGOs (non-governmental organizations) that promote anti-Israel propaganda, false claims, and distortions of international law to advance their agenda.
Financial Consequences
Israel summons Dutch ambassador over divestment
After Dutch pension manager divests from Israeli banks in protest of their involvement in West Bank settlement construction, Israel summons Dutch ambassador, asking for 'clarification'
The Dutch government's "Discouragement Policy" outlines regulations for economic activities with settlements, but remains vague enough that it leaves room for pro-BDS NGOs to pressure Dutch companies to divest from any and all Israeli corporations. Thus, within the past two months, several Dutch companies, including the PGGM pension fund, Vitens water company, and engineering and project management consultancy Royal Haskoning DHV, announced their decisions to withdraw from partnerships with Israeli companies.
Following the announcement, MP Kees Van Der Staaij visited Israel and stated that he, as well as the majority of the Dutch population does not agree with the idea of a boycott, and encouraged Dutch companies continue working bilaterally with Israeli and Palestinian ones. Still, this did not stop the tide of BDS campaigns. ABP, the largest pension fund in the Netherlands, and ING Investment Management, the pension fund of Dutch Bank ING, are also under pressure to reconsider their investments in Israeli banks, as reported by the Financial Times.
PFZW (Pension Fund for Care and Well-being) director, Peter Borgdoff, whose funds are managed by PGGM, confirmed that NGOs were centrally involved in PGGM's January 8 decision to cut cooperative initiatives with Israeli banks: "For several years, we have been addressed on this issue by organizations such as Cordaid, ICCO, IKV Pax Christi, Oxfam Novib, Werkgroep Keerpunt and the Dutch Palestine Committee. Coincidentally, we also provide pensions to some of these parties."
Tools and ammunition
Ironically, as shown by NGO Monitor, the same Dutch government that opposes boycotts has been allocating Dutch taxpayer money to the NGOs that lobby for BDS. ICCO, Kerk in Actie, IKV Pax Christi, and Oxfam Novib receive large scale funding from the Dutch government, and in turn, fund Israeli and Palestinian NGOs that are centrally involved in BDS activities. At least nine NGOs that have received Dutch funding have endorsed the 2005 "Palestinian Civil Society Call for BDS." This discriminatory anti-peace initiative calls for "the world to impose broad boycotts and implement divestment initiatives against Israel similar to those applied to South Africa in the apartheid era."
This network of NGOs has gained incredible momentum in the Netherlands, exhibiting the ability to deeply influence the policies of Dutch corporations. The network is especially powerful because of a highly influential organization, The Rights Forum (TRF). Headed by former Prime Minister, Andreas Van Agt, known as the "Dutch Jimmy Carter," the Dutch lobby group is made up of high-ranking ex-politicians and lawyers, many of whom sit on committees of the ICC, the UN, and anti-Israel NGOs.
Although its name suggests a universal human rights agenda, the Rights Forum focuses exclusively on the Arab-Israeli conflict. And within the conflict, the Rights Forum has adopted a narrow pro-Palestinian political agenda, using the prestige of its members to promote the biased campaigns of fellow political advocacy NGOs.
Many members of the Rights Forum are also part of the Dutch Advisory Council of International Affairs (AIV), a supposedly "independent body" housed in the Dutch Foreign Ministry, which advises the government on foreign policy relating to human rights. Given Rights Forum's clear anti-Israel agenda, this represents a conflict of interest, reflected in the AIV's similar myopic focus on Israeli settlements, to the exclusion of nearly all other issues of the conflict. It is through their involvement in such influential bodies, often behind closed doors, that Rights Forum members are able to advocate their political agenda among high ranking officials.
The Dutch "Discouragement Policy" has provided activists with the tools and ammunition to form a vigorous BDS network, infiltrating both political and economic channels in the Netherlands.
The policy has opened the door to campaigns that exploit its function for the purpose of confronting Dutch companies and pressuring them to sabotage mutually beneficial initiatives with Israel.
To prevent further damage, the Dutch government needs to go beyond calling for economic cooperation. It needs to forcefully reject the political warfare of the BDS movement and the NGO attacks on the Dutch economy and its foreign policy.

Henry Reid purchased what is now Dunorlan Park in the 1860s. The gardens were designed by Robert Marnock, and James 1 was engaged to landscape and construct a balustraded terrace, an artificial lake, cascade, rocky stream and summerhouse. Their 'Hebe Fountain' – originally designed and made for the International Exhibition of 1862 – was later installed in Dunorlan Park. The entire grounds and fountain etc were completely restored in 2004 with the aide of funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Business | Business school and MBA news
News from the schools, March 2010
Rolling news from the business campuses
Mar 2nd 2010 |
• People who buy green products do so not out of a concern to save the planet, but because they are status symbols, according to research from the Rotterdam School of Management. Bram Van den Bergh, the report's co-author, says that when shopping in private—online, say—customers forgo ethical concerns and plump for luxury. In public, however, they spend more on products which make them appear altruistic. Mr Van den Bergh believes that the phenomenon is linked to a biological theory that altruism might function as a "costly signal" associated with status.
• For anyone recently rejected by the business school of their dreams, an article in the Wall Street Journal may prove of comfort. Its rundown of business titans who weren't deemed quite up to the mark includes Warren Buffet, rejected by Harvard Business School when aged 19, and Ted Turner, who failed to persuade both Harvard and Princeton of his qualities. As all are now success stories, unsurprisingly they eventually came to see rejection as a positive: "Everything that has happened in my life...that I thought was a crushing event at the time, has turned out for the better," says Mr Buffet.
• Reims Management School in France has added 13 new schools to its network of global partners, taking it to 150 partner universities in 40 countries. This year RMS will host around 900 international students on its campus.
• If you thought that a Harley-Davidson—that most iconic of brands—could never succumb to the level of mere commodity, then Richard D'Aveni, a professor at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business, has news for you. Writing in Forbes magazine, he says that Harley has been on the road to commoditisation since the 70s, squeezed by both lower-price Japanese competition and premium American manufacturers. Where once Harley customers "were willing to pay on average 38% more for a Harley-Davidson motorcycle than for a similarly equipped bike," the firm soon discovered "that a product-based advantage can be fleeting." He concludes: "If success can lead to commoditisation even for a legend like Harley, is it creeping toward your business?"
• The liquidating trustee for BearingPoint, a consultancy that entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2009, is suing Yale School of Management for $8.1m according to Bloomberg. The company had committed to donate $30.1m to the school in return for naming rights on buildings and to endow faculty chairs—although only a proportion of this had been paid before the company filed for bankruptcy. BearingPoint's trustee believes that the company gained no material benefit from the arrangement. The school itself is yet to comment.
• Hector Sants, the chief executive of the Financial Services Authority, the UK's financial watchdog, used a lecture at Oxford University's Saïd School of Business to announce that in future it would intervene earlier to protect consumers from dubious financial practices. He said the organisation would, among other measures, enlist mystery shoppers to catch institutions which mis-sell products. Mr Hants said his principal aim was to "restore trust" in the sector. The FSA is under pressure for perceived failings during the financial crisis and is to be scrapped should, as is likely, the opposition Conservative Party win the upcoming general election.
• It is a tried-and-tested way of burying bad news: if your company's results make for painful reading, then announce them out on a Friday afternoon while the rest of the world is thinking about the weekend. But research by Leon Zolotoy at Melbourne Business School, suggests that this cunning plan's days are over. According to Professor Zolotoy, investors have now learnt to pay special attention to results announced on a Friday and view them more negatively than they would if they had been announced on any other day.
• Toyota's troubles have led many to ponder the best way for companies to deal with bad news. Research by Adam Galinsky and Daniel Diermeier at Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management suggests that the company's approach of delaying comment on its cars' accelerator problems, until it was sure of its facts, was flawed.
According to the professors: "while executives see 'no comment' as a safe and middle-of-the-road statement, the public hears a company trying to deny guilt and shirk responsibility." In an experiment, researchers found that companies which engaged with allegations, even if only presenting a bland holding statement (for example "inappropriate behaviour is not tolerated" or "allegations will be taken seriously") saw attitudes towards its brand become more positive.
Professors Galinsky and Diermeier's say their findings go against traditional corporate wisdom in which many companies' starting position is to try to marginalise a problem.
• IE BusinessSchool and Brown University have announced that they are launching a joint executive MBA programme. Alongside IE's business faculty, the programme will seek to tap into Brown's specialities in the humanities and social, biological, and physical sciences.
• Remember the MBA oath? Well far from joining the long list of business-education's passing fads, the idea that prospective managers should swear to be honourable in their business dealings seems to be gaining a fresh momentum. This week, for example, the United Nations Global Compact joined an alliance of organisations to promote the concept. The notion of a "Hippocratic oath" for managers, was dreamt up by Thunderbird School of Global Management five years ago, but was most famously taken on by Harvard students in 2009. Thousands of MBA students have now taken the pledge.
• Warwick Business School, in Britain, has appointed a new dean. Mark P Taylor will take over at the school following four years as a managing director at BlackRock, an asset management company. He had previously held a professorship in international finance at Warwick. Professor Taylor will take up his post at the start of the summer term, replacing the current dean, Howard Thomas.

SSIS has another author visiting campus this semester. Andrew Lam, author of Perfume Dreams: Reflections on the Vietnamese Diaspora, East Eats West, and Birds of Paradise Lost will be coming tomorrow to give talks to our high school students.
Andrew is a writer of short fiction, essays, and articles and has been a lifelong journalist whose concern is with language and identity, the experience of the Vietnamese diaspora and of refugees, and has written with great power and insight on their experience (which has been his as well).
Our students are very lucky to have this experience.


A line of sousaphonists from FAMU's Marchinng 100.
I first saw the Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University's (FAMU) marching band - the Marching 100 - over 20 years ago.
It was halftime at a Jacksonville Jaguars game and I wanted to go inside - probably for some chicken fingers - but my mom insisted we stay. FAMU's marching band were performing for the half time show.
I begrudgingly sat with her. Until that point, I thought of marching bands as a rather boring distraction from football.
FAMU changed that in one 10 minute performance. The music was good, the dancing was incredible and the energy was contagious.
Twelve years after that first show, I was working on assignment for Sports Illustrated, experimenting with video and multi-media. FAMU's marching band seemed a perfect story for that format - great visuals, lots of motion and original music.
in he stands with the Marching 100 at a football game at Bethune-Cookman.
The year was 2008, the month November. Barack Obama had just been elected the 44th president of the United States of America, and I was in Tallahassee, FL, at one of our country's largest and best historically black colleges,(FAMU), to watch their famed marching band - the Marching 100 - practice precision.
Sousaphones at dusk after a practice in Tallahassee. The sousaphone section in 2008 was the largest in the nation with 50 members.
The excitement over the election at FAMU was palpable. Their entire halftime routine revolved around the 44th President Elect. In the stands you could buy t-shirts with Barack Obama's face in FAMU orange.
The band members were particularly excited because they had been asked to perform at his inauguration. They had performed at inaugurations in the past, but the significance of this inauguration was not lost on anyone. An historically black marching band would get to perform during the historic first day of our first black president.
A band member stands ready before taking the field at half time at Bethune-Cookman.
At that time in camera history, November of 2008, Nikon had recently released the first ever DSLR camera with video recording capabilities, the Nikon D90.
I previously had worked on a couple multi-media stories, but had only used a dedicated video camera to record motion. The videos worked, but they weren't great. I didn't fully understand how to use a video camera and definitely couldn't control it the same way I could a DSLR. The D90 gave me the ability to record video using all the lenses I had access to in a format I was already familiar with.
Working on some rack focuses with a Nikkor 300mm f/2 - one of the rarest and most incredible lenses ever made - on a Nikon D90.
I spent close to a week in total with the band. I recorded several practices in Tallahassee, followed them to a football game at Bethune-Cookman in Daytona, and the Florida Battle-of-the-Bands competition in Orlando.
Behind the scenes with the FAMU Marching 100 in Orlando, FL.
Dr. White, who was the band director at the time, welcomed our team with open arms, giving us total access to his band and all it's nearly 450 members.
Dr. White, right, in the stands for the Bethune-Cookman game.
We became particularly close with Ralph Jean-Paul, a senior sousaphone player and president of the band. He was smart and dedicated. After graduation he was hoping to get an advanced degree, then maybe become a teacher or conductor, or both.
Music and the Marching 100 were his life and he taught us much of the inner workings of the band. Before every practice he gave us a breakdown of what was going to happen, where the best places to stand would be, at what point we could walk through the formation.
When we wanted to make a portrait of every member of the band (or at least every member that wanted to be included) for the multi-media, he helped organize it.
The portrait setup on the right, one of the hundreds of portraits we took on the left.
When we needed a catchy solo for the video, he recorded it.
Since this story was published, the Marching 100 found themselves in trouble. In 2012, a band member, Robert Champion, was killed due to extreme hazing. Dr. White resigned amid the controversy and all band activity was suspended indefinitely.
They reorganized in 2013 under new leadership and with at least one familiar face - Ralph Jean-Paul runs the band's brass section and is an assistant director, teaching and conducting with the band he loves.

1bn saplings to be planted by mid-2021: PM's aide
February 10, 2021 TAUQEER RIAZ
ISLAMABAD: The government will successfully achieve its target of planting one billion saplings by the middle of this year, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Climate Change Malik Amin Aslam said on Tuesday while addressing participants of a press conference.
"The biggest weapon to tackle challenges of climate change is the Ten Billion Tree Tsunami initiative. As we restore destroyed forests, in the first phase the plan is to plant 3.2 billion saplings till 2023. We call it the Ten Billion Tree Tsunami because the present government is here to stay. We are on target so far. Numbers of saplings in nurseries across the country have gone from 90 million to 300 million," he said, adding the first phase of plantation will be completed by June/July 2021.
Pakistan has been listed among the top ten countries, most vulnerable to impacts of climate change since the last two decades. This issue must be addressed urgently for the survival of future generations as it affects economy, water resources, national security and so on.
"Scientific study shows that average temperature in Pakistan has risen by 1°C. This may seem less but the rise can be disastrous especially for agriculture and the economy. The variability of rains has increased by 20pc. This means the timing of rainy seasons have shifted, while summers have extended. Every year an extra day is added to the summer season," he said.
According to the SAPM, urban flooding such as the one witnessed in Karachi last monsoon, was a new threat as cities and towns turn into concrete jungles. "Today Karachi has turned into a heat island. The previous government is responsible for wiping out 70pc trees and greenery in Lahore alone. These phenomena are a reality. The best solution is planting more trees, especially in cities. The numbers of glacial lakes in Pakistan's North have also increased from 50 to 130, according to estimates, in just three years, which is 'very' alarming for us," he added.
Several projects fall under the TBTT initiative such as increasing the number of protected areas, bee harvesting and establishment of a wildlife conservation centre in Islamabad. The PM will soon announce more areas the government intends to protect.
These projects are being monitored by provinces, then by the federal government and thirdly by third parties like Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco), World Wildlife Fund (WWF), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which will present yearly reports, he added, while sharing images and videos in his presentation.
The videos showed various barren locations, some freed from land mafia where the Ministry of Climate Change had planted forests a year ago that are now flourishing into forests.
"The international community, ministers, artists and especially environmental organisations, have recognized success of the TBTT initiative asking all nations to follow Pakistan's example. Climate change will remain a challenge, which ever government comes into power. The best solution is planting as many trees as possible," he added.

Silvio's angels in New York
by Mónica Rivero, monica-rivero
Silvio Rodríguez in Summer Stage. Photo: Gabriel Guerra Bianchini.
Silvio Rodríguez sang "Cita con ángeles" on the natural stage for that song. At least three misfortunes of the "winged beings from another world" have an intense connection with New York: Martí, the "angel on horseback"; John Lennon, shot down in front of "Central Park" full of people and the "thousands who fell" in the attack on the twin towers of the World Trade Center 16 years ago.
"I dedicate this song to the martyrs, to the innocent people of that day," said Silvio. The September 11, 2001 attack against the twin towers was the macabre spectacle with which we entered the new millennium, a demolishing blow in the heart of the so-called world capital that has again received the Cuban trova singer, seven years after his last performance in the United States.

To this is added that for him "New York is a partly mythological city…. It has a special fascination for me because it was the hometown of Whitman, a poet I always greatly admired. And for having taken in during fundamental years the genius of Martí."
The repertoire included songs from the CD Amorios (2015), written between 1967 and 1980 and which Silvio had not included in any record. He of course sang his classics, with new arrangements, La maza, Ojalá, Pequeña serenata diurna…. The Unicornio he did only on guitar, like at the beginning of his career.
As is usual in recent years and in the concerts of the tour through the barrios he's been doing since September 2010, he was accompanied by Niurka González on the flute and clarinet, Trovarroco on the strings, Jorge Aragón on the piano, Emilio Vega on the vibraphone, Oliver Valdés on the drums and Jorge Reyes on the double bass.

The trova singer also recalled Pastor Lucius Walker, leader of the Peace Caravans that challenged the U.S. blockade and took to Cuba donations to help the Cuban population. "I also dedicate it to Lucius, who was such a great friend of Cuba, who did us so much good. Viva Lucius! He lives on!" As part of the Pastors for Peace, Walker organized 21 missions to Cuba, always through Canada and Mexico.
He also spoke of another U.S. friend: Pete Seeger. He said the T-shirt he was wearing was given to him by Seeger, and that under the guitar on it it reads: this machine is to kill fascists. "Mine is not so harsh," said Silvio, "mine is to win over hearts." This was followed by a generalized applause in a city that resists the return of expressions of xenophobia and intolerance.
The concert, announced since August, was held in Central Park for some 4,000 people who sang along his songs and shouted with different Spanish accents. Latin Americans from several countries, and Cubans, of course. Some of them had not heard the trova singer live for several decades, ever since they left the island and established themselves in the United States.

In one of his comments from song to song, Silvio said in relation to the disaster caused by Hurricane Irma, in the Caribbean as well as in Florida, that he was "concerned about all those who have had to battle such a harsh event, also we [Cubans]." Irma has left a total of at least 55 dead, 10 of them in Cuba.
The president of the New York Municipal Council, Melissa Mark-Viverito, told Silvio about the scenario that his "dream of playing in Central Park has come true, and we all here appreciate you being who you are." It was the dream of many.

My mum tried the Chi Machine at a Complementary Health Clinic in Sheffield. She has very painful arthritis, especially in her knees. After only 4 minutes on the machine, the pain had eased enough so that she could kneel again where before she couldn't. She decided to buy one and on just ten minutes a day is still feeling the benefits.

What's up with… Cisco, IMImobile, AirHop, broadband speeds
By TelecomTV Staff
Cisco is swallowing UK firm IMImobile
AirHop makes the leap to Azure
Broadband speeds are on the up
Cisco's UK acquisition, the latest vendor addition to the Azure mobile network function menu and the upward trend in broadband speeds lead the way in today's headline huddle.
Cisco is acquiring UK digital contact centre platform specialist IMImobile for $730 million in a deal that Cisco believes will help it to develop a Customer-Experience-as-a-Service (CXaaS) proposition for enterprise users. The news lit a fire under IMImobile's share price, which gained 47% on London Stock Market trading on Monday to 593 pence, just shy of Cisco's offer of 595 pence. See this press release for more details.
AirHop is the latest cloud native radio access network software vendor to offer its wares via Microsoft Azure. The company says the integration of its eSON product "enables network deployments with Microsoft Azure platforms (cloud, Edge Zones and Azure Private Edge Zones) to use near real-time Radio Access Networks (RAN) automation and optimization applications to accelerate 4G and 5G deployments for operator and private enterprise networks." AirHop is one of the companies helping Rakuten Mobile to run a virtualized and increasingly automated mobile network infrastructure. For further details, see this announcement.
Ofcom has published an update for UK fixed broadband speeds and found that the average actual download speed of UK residential ISPs has increased from the 64 Mbps (14.0 Mbps upload) measured for its May 2020 report to 71.8 Mbps (14.2 Mbps upload) this month. According to ISP Review, UK broadband's vital statistics are easily gathered and updated because the regulator is analysing data from custom modified routers installed in a few thousand homes to get the averages. Six months is a short period within which to register such a notable increase in average speeds though... In the US, apparent recent rises in average broadband speed has been claimed by the FCC's outgoing Chairman Ajit Pai as a benefit of his move to end net neutrality and deregulate broadband. Critics have been quick to point out that the rises are more than likely the result of the pandemic and the sudden need for faster broadband speeds for home working, home schooling, in-home entertainment etc. spurring households to upgrade their services.
Russia's state-owned news outlet, Sputnik, reports that the Finnish parliament in Helsinki will, this very afternoon, pass a new Telecoms Act that will exclude "untrusted vendors" (presumably meaning the likes of Huawei and ZTE of China) from installing 5G or other equipment in the national network, thus giving an extra twist to what the site calls "tech nationalism". Finland's Justice Minister, Johannes Koskinen, says"We are not pointing the finger at any particular party but we must protect our network's key assets if there are strong grounds to suspect the use of such equipment would endanger national security or defence". However, he added, "We should ensure we don't take action that closes doors for Nokia as a result of any backlash," That'll be a hard circle to square. Nokia has done well for itself since Huawei was included out of participation in the Australian, Japanese, UK and US markets as well as a range of those of some EU member states but could now lose access to China.
The U.S. Senate is set to vote as early as this week to approve the nomination of the Trump administration official, Nathan Simington, to the FCC. Sinington comes from the US Commerce Department. If Simington's appointment is confirmed, the FCC could be deadlocked 2-2 between Democrats and Republicans when Democratic President-elect Joe Biden takes office next month and the Senate may not confirm an appointee to the commission for months, if not longer - unless, that is, the republicans lose control of the Senate following the runoff elections in Georgia on Jan. 5th. That could see Biden unable to restore net neutrality in the US and Trump be assisted in his push to repeal social media protections and, he hopes, stymie moves by social media to limit the spread of disinformation. According to this Reuters story, Section 230 protects tech companies from liability over content posted by users. Trump and Republican lawmakers have criticised internet platforms' content moderation decisions and accused them of stifling conservative voices.
AT&T's Warner Bros division has 'infuriated cinemas' by announcing it will release all its 2021 blockbusters on HBO for a month at the same time as they go out to the cinemas - a reversal of the usual approach. Or as Warner Bros itself explains, "it's a unique, consumer-focused distribution model in which Warner Bros. will continue to exhibit the films theatrically worldwide, while adding an exclusive one month access period on the HBO Max streaming platform." The reason/excuse is Covid-19, which is expected to keep movie-goers out of cinemas for an unknown period of time next year. The cinemas fear that the public may get used to not going to the cinema, even when the pandemic is over.
Things haven't improved much in Zimbabwe since Robert Mugabe finally popped his clogs and Emmerson (The Crocodile) Mnangagwa took over as President of that benighted country back in late 2017. He pledged to revive the country's abysmal economy and to cultivate better relationships with erstwhile trading partners in the west whom Mugabe had threatened, dispossessed and alienated, but little of substance has so far been achieved. On the telecoms front the regulator, "POTRAZ" (the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe), has published a consultation paper on the country's National Broadband Plan which says US$123 million is required for its completion. For a nation that used to be the breadbasket of Africa and very wealthy as a result, that sum would once have been chickenfeed, but under current economic circumstances it is an enormous amount. What's more, the plan to deliver "broadband" connectivity to the entire country is so lacking in ambition that it actually calls for "up to" 1Mbps, (yes, 1 Mbps) to be available to all the population by 2030! All of the $123 million will be spent on deploying underground 1,848 kilometres of fibre-optic cable to complete the national "broadband" network. However, no calculation is provided as to the cost of deploying "complementary backhaul transmission systems to feed access nodes. To enhance network reliability there is a need for network redundancy for all the links." The POTRAZ report adds, "The requirement for stable and uninterrupted power could never be over-emphasised. A considerable parentage of the [original] optical fibre cable was over-head, which brought about vulnerability to theft, vandalism and fire." Finance Minister, Mthuli Ncube, says the Zimbabwean economy is suffering "climatic, macroeconomic and Covid-19 shocks." Meanwhile the country's runaway inflation, is running at 639 per cent. That is being presented as a victory because it has come down from the 837 per cent recorded in July this year. Mthuli Ncube is an eternal optimist. Just today he has tweeted that next year $140 billion will bet set aside for national infrastructure development in Zimbabwe, although he did not say where the cash would be coming from. Perhaps, like the UK, Zimbabwe too has discovered that there is such a thing as a magic money tree after all.

Home Tech PS5: the console will soon be back on sale everywhere!
PS5: the console will soon be back on sale everywhere!
Sony's latest console, the PS5 will be available again very soon! We give you more details. The PS5 will be available again very soon!
2020 has been a very successful year for the Japanese multinational! Indeed, Sony was very successful with the release of its new console, the PS5.
In fact, the game console has even fallen victim to its success. It was indeed very difficult to get hold of it.
Rarer than gold, distributors will run out of stock very quickly. So only the lucky ones were able to afford one.
And the consoles are sometimes sold on the web at crazy prices! For other gamers, they won't be so lucky!
But the situation should change soon! Indeed, soon, the PS5 will be available for sale again. Hoping that this time there would be something for everyone!
PS5: THE RETURN
You should know that the PS5 was a victim of its success but also of the coronavirus pandemic. Indeed, the health crisis has had a major impact on the production of consoles around the world.
But that hasn't stopped Sony from selling no less than 3.4 million consoles this year! Just that. For 2021, the company hopes to sell between 16.8 and 18 million PS5!
A crazy goal but it seems quite achievable! Indeed, production is increasing significantly.
The site even estimates an increase in the production rate of 40 to 50%! Which is not nothing.
Which also means the end of stockouts! Enough to bring back a smile to those who have not had the chance to afford one.
Where to buy PS5; TTDV, MediaMarkt, Fnac, Amazon
FYI, Sony planned to sell 10 million consoles by March 31, 2021. The company therefore has only 3 months left to produce and sell 6 million copies of its flagship console.

235 Holdings AD-Sofia WACC % Calculation
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the rate that a company is expected to pay on average to all its security holders to finance its assets. The WACC is commonly referred to as the firm's cost of capital. Generally speaking, a company's assets are financed by debt and equity. WACC is the average of the costs of these sources of financing, each of which is weighted by its respective use in the given situation. By taking a weighted average, we can see how much interest the company has to pay for every dollar it finances.
WACC = E / (E + D) * Cost of Equity + D / (E + D) * Cost of Debt * (1 - Tax Rate)
235 Holdings AD-Sofia (XBUL:235H) WACC % Explanation
Because it costs money to raise capital. A firm that generates higher ROIC % than it costs the company to raise the capital needed for that investment is earning excess returns. A firm that expects to continue generating positive excess returns on new investments in the future will see its value increase as growth increases, whereas a firm that earns returns that do not match up to its cost of capital will destroy value as it grows.

1. GuruFocus uses book value of debt (D) to do the calculation. It is simplified by adding latest two-year average Short-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation and Long-Term Debt & Capital Lease Obligation together.
2. The WACC formula discussed above does not include Preferred Stock. Please adjust if preferred stock is considered.
3. (Expected Return of the Market - Risk-Free Rate of Return) is also called market premium. GuruFocus requires market premium to be 6%.
4. GuruFocus uses last fiscal year end Interest Expense divided by the latest two-year average debt to get the simplified cost of debt.

Q: adding content tag to an input field inside a template I am trying to use the new html5 template tag to make a semi-generic form that can be placed in multiple use cases without using too much javascript.
Here is a fiddle showing what I have http://jsfiddle.net/684uH/
my goal is to replace the "Name" in the placeholder text with what would would typically be found in the <content> tag
a hypothetical example to get my point accross would be:

    Special Name

<template id = "im-a-template">
    <input type="text" placeholder = <content select = ".inputPlaceholder"></content>>
</template>

Is there a way to do something similar or is the only way using javascript to set it manually?

A: Use XSLT on the client to do this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="html5.xhtml"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
            xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
            >
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="utf-8" version="" indent="yes" standalone="no" media-type="text/html" omit-xml-declaration="no" doctype-system="about:legacy-compat" />

<xsl:template match="xsl:stylesheet">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/">

      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />

        Special Name

      <template id="im-a-template">
        <input type="text" placeholder="{//node()[@class='inputPlaceholder']}"/>
      </template>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Use the following process:

*

*Save as html5.xhtml (or change the <?xml-stylesheet href to the name of your choice)

*Open in the browser

*Add script tags to run the <template> polyfill of your choice

LAS VEGAS—The home security and home automation space has a new player: Qolsys. Based in Silicon Valley, the company introduced its first product, the 7-inch touch-screen IQ Panel, at ISC West today.
SAN JOSE, Calif.—Qolsys, a provider of security and smart home technology, announced recently that Guardian Protection Services, a residential and commercial security systems provider based in Warrendale, Pa., has selected the IQ Panel 2 as its next generation platform following a one-year evaluation period.
SAN JOSE, Calif.—The Qolsys IQ Panel 2, which officially began shipping through North American distribution locations this summer, offers new features and technology designed specifically for security dealers.
NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa.—My Alarm Center, a super-regional security company with a rapidly evolving national presence, is coming off an impressive year of organic growth, complemented by the success of its new DIY division, LivSecure.
At this year's ISC West, the big theme on the residential side was the connected home, and all of the possibilities now available to dealers who are looking to provide interactive services, including some DIY options, to the homeowner.
The DMP Owners Forum, a daylong training event for dealers, included the introduction of new products and services tailored to help dealers take advantage of the connected home and DIY.
The smart-home theme continued on the ISC West show floor, as I visited residential smart home providers including Icontrol One, Alarm.com, Qolsys, 2GIG and Honeywell Security & Fire—the biggest booth at ISC West 2016 this year.
As you will see in my ISC West Roundup, many of these companies unveiled new technology, and outlined the increased support and options now available for dealers looking to provide these options to their customers.
After the show, I caught up with David Paja, president, Honeywell Security & Fire, to see if he was hearing the same kind of buzz at this year's show.
Paja also noted that two recent company acquisitions—RSI and Xtralis—are helping to expand Honeywell's offerings and position in 2016.
As these residential-focused companies reposition themselves to stay at the forefront of trends in the industry, dealers will be able to change with the times as well, and not let new technology pass them by.
SAN JOSE, Calif.—Qolsys introduced itself and its "all in one" IQ Panel to the security industry at ISC West 2013. This year, Qolsys plans to introduce its new IQ Panel 2, a slim, white, 7-inch high-res capacitive touch screen with edge-to-edge glass.
SAN JOSE, Calif.—Qolsys, a provider of residential security and smart home solutions, announced that its home security and smart home platform has been approved for distribution in the Alarm Capital Alliance (ACA) dealer program.
BALTIMORE—Consumers with home automation systems most trust security companies to monitor them, according to "Monetizing the IoT" panelists at ESX 2015. That's a fact that the industry needs to embrace for future success, they said.
BALTIMORE—Just as the smartphone has transformed the way people conduct their day-to-day lives, the Internet of Things will, too, said panelists at ESX 2015.


The Siemens Wind Power and Renewables Division is a leading supplier of reliable, environmentally-friendly and cost-efficient renewable energy solutions.
Jigsaw Business Group was asked to support Siemens offshore wind turbine blade manufacturing operations in Aalborg, Denmark to deliver improved first time manufacturing capability.
The project required the deployment of 6 experienced operational practitioners to work with the existing Siemens manufacturing team to help identify the root cause issues effecting RFT Quality and Delivery. Our expert practitioners were deployed to support product launch, manufacturing, process engineering, quality, operations and general senior management, and along with the technical support given, the Jigsaw team also provided front line team leadership, mentoring and continuous improvement training, all of which allowed the input of best practice design for Siemens new Hull, UK plant.

Carrick-based club is fighting fit after pandemic almost shuts doors
Cameron Stewart signs pre-contract with Carrick Rangers
Carrick Rangers have announced the pre-contract signing of Cameron Stewart on a two-year deal.
The 24-year-old will arrive at the Loughview Leisure Arena at the start of the 2022/23 campaign, on the expiry of his current contract with Glentoran.
Speaking to Carrick's media team about the move from east Belfast to east Antrim, Cameron said: "I am absolutely delighted to be signing for Carrick Rangers. The club has big plans and without a doubt is going in the right direction.
"I am extremely excited about getting back into football in a positive environment and after speaking with Stuart (King) and Peter (Clarke), I immediately felt wanted and that the club was the right place for me.
Cameron Stewart. (Pic Carrick Rangers).
"I have watched a good few of Carrick's games this season and there is an extremely hard-working and talented group of players at the club that I am confident I can add to from next season."
Manager Stuart King added: "I am delighted that we have finally been able to sign Cameron. We have held an interest in him since last summer and we have had to fight off a lot of other clubs to get him on board, which is expected due to the quality he provides.
"My thanks must also go to the board who continue to fully support my staff and I in what we are doing.
"This is another big statement from our club as players of Cameron's quality will only serve to further drive us forward."
