"Treasure" showcases UK design talent at LJW

Company of Master Jewellers
LONDON, June 13, 2010 – "Treasure" has opened at London Jewellery Week, a selling event showcasing the work of up-and-coming designers such as Joanna Dahdah as well as established brands such as Swarovski and PureJewels.
Joanna Dahdah won the New Designer award as Treasure launched at a glittering party in central London on the evening of June 11.
The diverse shapes, colours and textures in Gustav Klimt's paintings are the main inspiration for Joanna's debut collection.
She explored various assortments of circles and squares highlighted by a warm and glowing colour palette to recreate the sensuality and richness conveyed by Klimt's work.
Dozens of designers and creative retailers, including ethical jewellers LeBlas and Cred, showed off their latest work at the Treasure event which runs until June 13 at Victoria House, Southampton Row, in Holborn, central London.

Top UK jewellery designer Stephen Webster was present at the launch party to underline his support for the brightest of the UK's jewellery design talent.
Webster spoke to Jewellery Outlook about a shift to silver in upmarket designs in light of soaring gold prices, and said diamonds were hugely sought after.
He said, however, that the financial crisis had had the biggest impact on the mid-level of the jewellery market, while the top tier remained strong.
"It is the middle that has been squeezed hardest," Webster said.
Other jewellers said the combination of rising rough diamond prices and the economic downturn, had eroded diamond jewellery demand in the middle of the market despite the relative resilience of bridal demand.

1. Malcolm X at Oxford Union: Racial Politics in a Global Era, Saladin Ambar
Author: Felix Germain
Journal: Political Science Quarterly
Institution: Academy of Political Science
Abstract: In this well-written book, Saladin Ambar adds substance to the extensive literature on Malcolm X. Retracing the steps of Malcolm X in France and England, where he debated at the Oxford Student Society, Ambar contends that the debate comprises the foundation of Malcolm X's political philosophy, particularly the one he espoused at the end of his life. Indeed, during this important debate, not only did Malcolm X outline a notion of humanity based on a universal principal of equality, but he also described the struggle for equality in the United States, Europe, and Africa as an emancipatory process for both the oppressor and the oppressed. - See more at: http://www.psqonline.org/article.cfm?IDArticle=19336#sthash.O9m49nRo.dpuf

2. British Public Opinion and Mass-Elite Relations on EU Enlargement: Implications on the Democratic Deficit Debate
Author: Oya Dursun-Ozkanca
Journal: Central European University Political Science Journal
Institution: Central European University
Abstract: Despite the fact that the public in Britain had predominantly negative attitudes towards the Easter n enlargement of the European Union (EU) in 2004, the British government endorsed this policy . Since the legitimacy of elite actions on EU affairs depends on the level of public support, it is important to study the formation of public opinion and the poli tical communication processes in the European context. Using Flash Eurobarometer survey data, this article first tests the determinants of public support for EU enlargement in Britain. It then examines the nature of the relationship between elites and publ ic opinion on the 2004 enlargement. It concludes that the public discussion about enlargement in Britain was fuelled by hysteria rather than facts, and that the British policymakers failed to both provide the worried public with clear facts on the possible effects of enlargement and take substantive policy decisions to alleviate popular concerns.

3. Linda Overland and Mikkel Berg-Nordlie, Bridging Divides: Ethno-Political Leadership among the Russian Sami
Author: Emel Elif Tugdar
Abstract: The term "indigenous" refers to the ethnic minorities within a state but without a state. Generally, the indigenous groups are located across neighboring states. The Roma people in Europe are one of the significant examples of indigenous people that are located across Central and Eastern European states without a state of their own. As the indigenous groups have unique social, cultural, economic and political characteristics, they are distinct from those of the society in which they live. Their language, knowledge systems and beliefs differ from the society as well. Due to their cultural differences, the diverse indigenous peoples share common problems also related to the protection of their rights. They strive for recognition of their identities, their ways of life and their right to political representation and participation. As a result, a special set of political rights have been set to protect them by international organizations such as the United Nations. The United Nations have issued a Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples to guide state policies in order to protect the collective rights of indigenous peoples, such as their culture, identity, language, and access to employment, health, education and natural resources.

4. Political Parties in Multi-Level Polities: The Nordic countries compared
Author: Maria Shagina
Abstract: As the result of changes in European governance, the environment in which national parties operate has been unambiguously modified. The complexity of European structures has put additional pressure on national parties and forced them to adapt to new challenges. The emergence of sub-national level has created new arena for national parties to perform their customary functions such as candidate selection, formulation of party manifestos, government formation etc. Yet, the sub-national level stipulated by other institutional structure differs significantly from the national one. The democratic deficit intrinsic to the EU institutions affects and changes the internal organization of national parties. Aylott, Blomgren, and Bergman aim to fill this research gap by investigating the impact of European integration on democratic accountability within Nordic political parties. The authors seek to uncover "the black box of party organization" (p. 2) through the lens of modified delegation and accountability procedures on both national and European levels.

5. A Value-Driven European Future
Author: Ivana Tomovska Efremov
Abstract: As an editor Bekemans presents to academic readers a rich collection of essays initially presented at the international workshop 'Cultural and Value Roots for Intercultural Dialogue in a European Context' held in October 2011 at the University of Padua under the auspices of the Jean Monet Centre. The essays presented at the conference and published a year latter provide to the reader an excellent overview of the topic and capture the engaging academic discourse that took place at the conference. The book aims to define the set of values that in turn define European identity. It also poses very important questions, such as what is the common set of 'core values', how to maintain and enrich those values in the face of globalization, multiculturalism and economic crises and how to work across institutions to promote and preserve those values.

6. The Concept of the Political
Author: Ciprian Negoita
Abstract: The Concept of the Political , translated from the 1933 study – La Notion du "politique" et la théorie des différends internationaux , represents a significant contribution for the European public specialized in the field of international relations. While this text may at the first sight seem different from other versions of realism and more related to international relations theory today, in fact, the core assumptions addressed in this study are connected to political realism. The translation of this book represents the first initiative to make Morgenthau's European writings more accessible to students of international relations, particularly to English-speaking researchers. This endeavor both in French and English is relatively little known compared to his major and successful textbook Politics Among Nations , published in 1948 and considered one of the leading writings of the realist school. As the title indicates, this book is constructed around the complex and controversial "concept of the political", a concept whose correct understanding Morgenthau, and many others before him, considered essential for any theory of political life. Thus, the purpose of this book is to provide an understanding of Morgenthau's oeuvre and worldview and to emphasize the ontological and epistemological commitments of the author, which influenced his later works.

7. The International Relations of Local Authorities. From Institutional Twinning to the Committee of the Region: Fifty Years of European Integration History
Author: Francesca Romana Bastianello
Abstract: At a moment when the European Union is having an identity crisis, it is pertinent to remember the motivations, and the efforts of the men who dedicated their lives to its creation and who established the means and the organizations necessary to involve the citizens in the bottom-up part of this process. This book focuses on the role played by local authorities, the first to use the establishment of twinning – the development of cultural, political and economical bonds between two cities or villages belonging to different nations – as a parameter of real international policy and to view it as an essential phase of the establishment of a united Europe.

Journal: European Journal of International Law
Institution: European Journal of International Law
Abstract: From time to time, we are asked about the relationship between EJIL and the European Society of International Law (ESIL). That relationship is simple: the Journal and the Society are two separate, but mutually supportive and complementary entities. Indeed, past and present EJIL Editors can boast, with parental pride, of having been present at the conception, as well as the birth, of the Society! From its inception, membership in ESIL has included automatic online and print subscriptions to EJIL – including very soon a tablet version.The relationship has only strengthened in recent years, with ESIL Presidents and Presidents-elect serving ex officio on the EJIL Board. It is in the spirit of that growing bond that we wholeheartedly share in ESIL's 10-year celebrations, and have invited the following Guest Editorial from its leadership.

9. In Search of a Role for the High Representative: The Legacy of Catherine Ashton
Author: Niklas Helwig, Carolin Rüger
Journal: The International Spectator
Institution: Istituto Affari Internazionali
Abstract: When Catherine Ashton took up office as High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (HR), she met with high expectations - and much disappointment. As the first incumbent of the remodelled position, she had the chance to leave a legacy for her successor, but faced an unclear job description. What was the HR's role in EU foreign policy? It is argued that the HR acted as a diplomat and manager of EU external action, while her role performance in co-leadership and brokering were less successful. Role expectations and performance entered a fragile equilibrium at the end of Ashton's tenure. However, the future role of the HR might shift more towards a co-leader of EU foreign policy.

10. The Rotating Council Presidency and the New Intergovernmentalism
Author: Uwe Puetter
Abstract: The Lisbon Treaty fundamentally changed the presidency regime of the European Union at the expense of one of the oldest and most central institutions of European integration: the rotating presidency. The chair positions of the European Council, the Foreign Affairs Council and the Eurogroup have been decoupled from the rotating presidency. Understanding the reduced role of the rotating presidency requires attention for the changing dynamics of EU policymaking, especially for the new intergovernmentalism which implies decision-making outside the classic community method and for the rise of the European Council to the status of a lead institution.

11. Populism in the European Parliament: What Implications for the Open Society?
Author: Heather Grabbe, Nadja Groot
Abstract: The 2014 elections brought a record number of xenophobic populist parties into the European Parliament (EP). They have a strong incentive to be more united and active than in previous terms, and they could use the Parliament to shape voter attitudes, pressure mainstream parties to adopt more xenophobic rhetoric, fragment the mainstream right, and obstruct parliamentary proceedings. The rise of xenophobic populism could affect the open society through the EU's policies and budget if it alters EP debates on issues that split left and right, particularly Roma exclusion, migration and asylum, and EU external policies and development aid.

12. The Crisis of the E/xceptional/ U/nion

13. EU/Ukraine Relations and the Crisis with Russia, 2013-14: A Turning Point
Author: Geoffrey Pridham
Abstract: The European Union has a unique opportunity to develop a positive strategy towards Ukraine. A pro-EU government is now in power in Kyiv, there is a revived civil society pressing for democratic reforms and the actions by Russia have both reinforced Ukraine's pro-West line and led to the priority given Moscow being questioned by some member states. It is therefore essential to grant Ukraine a membership perspective to strengthen this trend and encourage Kyiv to confront and overcome the basic problems that face the country.

14. Bracing for Cold Peace. US-Russia Relations after Ukraine
Author: Ondrej Ditrych
Abstract: The crisis in Ukraine has turned the tables of the post-Cold War relationship between the United States and Russia. The ongoing transformation can result in a number of outcomes, which can be conceived in terms of scenarios of normalisation, escalation and 'cold peace' - the latter two scenarios being much more probable than the first. NATO ought to shore up its defences in Central and Eastern Europe while Washington and its allies engage in a comprehensive political strategy of 'new containment'. This means combining political and economic stabilisation of the transatlantic area with credible offers of benefits to partners in the East and pragmatic relations with Russia which are neither instrumentalised (as was the case with the 'reset') nor naïvely conceived as a 'partnership'.

15. The European Endowment for Democracy and Democracy Promotion in the EU Neighbourhood
Author: Serena Giusti, Enrico Fassi
Abstract: The European Endowment for Democracy (EED) is a recently established instrument of democracy promotion intended to complement existing EU tools. Fashioned after the US National Endowment for Democracy, the EED's privileged area of action is the European neighbourhood. Meant as a small rapid-response, actor-oriented 'niche' initiative, its main task is to select those actors, from both civil and political society able to produce a change in their country. The EED represents a step forward in the EU's capacity to foster democracy, but does not necessarily go in the direction of more rationality and effectiveness. Not all EU member states support the EED with the same enthusiasm and it is still not clear how it fits into the EU's overall democracy promotion architecture. Its actions may be successful in a very constrained timeframe. However, recent crises at the EU's borders would seem to call for a strategy that takes into consideration systemic hindrances, post-regime change complexities, regional dynamics and finally rival plans of autocracy promotion.

16. A Reappraisal of the EU's Expanding Readmission System
Author: Jean-Pierre Cassarino
Abstract: Readmission is not simply a means of removing undesirable foreigners through coercive methods. When viewed as a way of ensuring the temporary stay of foreign workers in the labour markets of European destination countries, readmission may also impact on the participatory rights of a growing number of native workers facing equally temporary (and precarious) labour conditions, in a context marked by employment deregulation and wage flexibility. These implications have clear democratic significance. A new analytical perspective applied to the expansion and development of the readmission system, is aimed at promoting a reflection on an unexplored research area bridging the gap between labour migration regulation and labour market deregulation.
17. Deterrence and Protection in the EU's Migration Policy
Author: Anna Triandafyllidou, Angeliki Dimitriadi
Abstract: EU migration and asylum policy is facing tough challenges at the southern borders of the Union as migration and asylum pressures rise, fuelled by political instability and poverty in several regions of Asia and Africa. Current European border control practices create three spaces of control: externalised borders, through readmission and return agreements which enrol third countries in border control; the EU borders themselves through the work of Frontex and the development of a whole arsenal of technology tools for controlling mobility to and from the EU; and the Schengen area, whose regulations tend to reinforce deterrence at the borders through the Smart Border System. As a result, the EU's balancing act between irregular migration control and protection of refugees and human life clearly tips towards the former, even if it pays lip service to the latter. More options for mobility across the Mediterranean and more cooperation for growth are essential ingredients of a sustainable migration management policy on the EU's southern borders. In addition asylum management could benefit from EU level humanitarian visas issued at countries of origin.

19. F.F. Martens and His Time: When Russia Was an Integral Part of the European Tradition of International Law
Author: Lauri Mälksoo
Abstract: This introductory article opens the symposium which examines the legacy of the Russian international lawyer Friedrich Fromhold von (or Fyodor Fyodorovich) Martens (1845–1909). In the first section, the article critically reviews previous research and literature on Martens and discusses the importance of the Martens diaries that are preserved in a Moscow archive. In the second section, the article offers an intellectual portrait of Martens and analyses the main elements in his international legal theory as expressed in his textbook. In particular, his claim that international law was applicable only between 'civilized states' is illuminated and discussed.

20. F.F. Martens – Man of the Enlightenment: Drawing Parallels between Martens' Times and Today's Problems
Author: Rein Müllerson
Abstract: This article concentrates on two controversial aspects of the writings of Friedrich Fromhold Martens – his treatment of the so-called mission civilisatrice of European nations and the potential clash of the two roles an international lawyer may have to perform: in the service of international law and representing national interests of his/her country or other clients. Both of these aspects in Martens' work have not lost their topicality; it is illuminating to draw parallels between his time and today's world.

San Vicente Golf Course Remains Open in 2019
Course Renovation Moved to 2020
The long-anticipated Golf Course Greens and Bunkers Renovation project tentatively scheduled to start April 1, 2019, has been moved to a tentative start date of March 1, 2020*, due in part to a revised San Diego requirement to obtain permits and complete a grading plan for the project estimated to finish this fall. The revised construction schedule is planned to optimize next year's hot summer turf growing season.
SDCEA Management closed the course from May 6 – 10, to allow Golf Course Maintenance staff to work on needed aerification, top-dressing and fertilization of tees, which will restore the healthy, playable course conditions as the robust and green bermudagrass base thrives now and in the upcoming warmer months.
"We are happy to announce the course is open, and we look forward to seeing golfers enjoy playing golf this year," said Golf Pro John Rathbun who is working with the Pro Shop team to ensure the golfer experience is excellent.
SDCEA General Manager Mario Trejo said that the renovation project was initially projected to be a maintenance project for the 45-year old course, and in March the county staff determined it was more substantial because of the considerable imports of gravel and sand needed for the renovated greens and bunkers.
Trejo noted that Carlsbad based Planning Systems was hired as a consultant to obtain the necessary state and federal permits or exemptions. Planning Systems Environmental Consultant Paul Klukas said the county zoning code does not differentiate between a repair project and a new project. Therefore, county planners determined the course renovation was a new project which requires a grading permit.
The process of obtaining a grading permit is estimated to take four to six months to accommodate work by a licensed engineer to develop a grading plan to submit for county review according to Klukas. He added that the county planners agreed to waive a major use permit deviation for the project.
Trejo indicated the $2.2 million project would most likely increase, and work will be performed over the next several months to determine the final cost. In addition to the bunkers and greens work, the project involves tree removals and replacements which began this year, upgrading turf and drainage systems, and relocating some of the cart paths.
In the end, the vision for the course is perfectly intact as re-designed by Golf Course Architect Andy Staples which, when complete in 2020, he hopes to hear players say, "Those were some of the most fun greens I've ever played." Playability will be firm and fast, green and bunker design will be a second shot golf course with renovated greens varying in size, shape and slope with interesting bent grass collars and a mix of difficulty set in contrast of sand and turf.
"This will be a course with dramatic visual appeal that looks hard and plays easy," said Staples. We all look forward to 2020 when the project starts and finishes.
In the meantime, we welcome golfers to enjoy playing golf this year at San Vicente.
*Note - at the request of the Goodlife HOA, the SDCEA Board is considering moving the March 1, 2020 tentative start date to April 1, during the May 28, Board Meeting.

"The significant improvement in operational performance across all areas of the business is expected to deliver a record year of profits for the Group. Customer satisfaction is a key priority and the Group's return to 4 star housebuilder status along with another controlled and disciplined period end reflect this. We are looking forward to delivering the first homes from our new housing range in 2019 and continuing to make further operational and financial progress."
The Group delivered a total of 3,759 (2017: 3,645) new homes in the year, an increase of 3% on the prior year and in-line with expectations. Private homes totalled 2,567 (2017: 2,573) units with 1,192 (2017: 1,072) affordable housing units.
Total average selling price on completions in the year was c. £273k (2017: £272.4k) with private average selling price of c. £338k (2017: £334.5k). Underlying pricing remains robust and in-line with our expectations.
Following the successful implementation of operational improvements across all areas of the business during the past 18 months, the Group expects to deliver a significant step-up in operating margin for 2018, with profits for the year expected to be slightly ahead of market consensus.
The Group's sales rate per outlet per week for the year was 0.5 (2017: 0.48). We start the year with a strong forward sales position totalling 2,681 units (2017: 2,656) with a value of £521m (2017: £518m). The prior year level of forward sales reflected the inclusion of a bulk deal at the end of that year for 275 private homes with Heylo Housing. The Group operated from an average of 87 (2017: 92) active sites in the year.
Customer satisfaction remains a key priority for the Group and we are very pleased to be on track to achieve our target of a 4 star HBF Customer satisfaction rating for 2018, a significant improvement from the 2 star HBF customer satisfaction rating in the prior year. In 2019, we will be delivering the first homes from our exciting new housing range which has been designed to best meet our customers' needs today.
In aggregate, our specific actions over the past two years including land sales and the formation of our first two major joint ventures are anticipated to deliver in excess of the targeted £180m from our balance sheet.
We have made further progress with our 50:50 JV agreement at Wellingborough and having exchanged conditional contracts, expect to conclude the partnership, subject to third party approval, in early 2019 realising an additional c. £65 million net cash benefit.
The joint ventures with housing associations at Sherford and Wellingborough, support the Group's plans to develop its fledgling partnership business, with further opportunities identified for 2019.
We continue to utilise part exchange in a disciplined and well-controlled manner, with our year-end balance sheet value at c. £16m (2017: £19.7m) and no units owned and unsold for more than three months.
The group is expected to have a year end net cash balance of c. £127m (2017: £145m) reflecting our ongoing capital management, an increased net investment at Wellingborough of c. £17.5m, payment of our first special dividend and our joint venture at Wellingborough now expected to complete in early 2019.
We increased our land activity during 2018 to ensure we maintain a good supply of high quality developments, securing 4,164 plots (2017: 2,550) across 19 (2017: 11) developments. Our strategic land bank remains a valuable source of land for the Group, and we converted 1,958 plots (2017: 1,850) from it during the year. On average the land acquired is expected to deliver at least a 26% gross margin and 25% ROCE.
We have excellent forward visibility with all of our land for 2019 having detailed planning consent and 91% of our land for 2020 already secured. As at 31 December 2018 the Group had an owned land bank, including joint ventures, of c. 17,200 plots (2017: 17,096).
The Group has made excellent operational and financial progress in 2018 and we expect to build upon this further in 2019.
The industry fundamentals remain strong with customer demand for new homes supported by attractive mortgage finance and government initiatives, in particular Help to Buy.
Whilst it is too early in the year to comment on 2019 trading, early signs are encouraging. As reported in November, we saw Brexit uncertainty driving a slowdown in discretionary buyers of our larger homes. Building on our much improved relationships with housing associations, we have increased our level of private sales to housing associations and see further opportunities in this area. In addition, our stronger operating model and margin initiatives will support the business.
The Board intends to recommend a final Ordinary dividend of 38.0 pence per share (2017: 32.5) bringing Ordinary dividends in respect of the 2018 financial year to 57.0 pence per share (2017: 47.5) and total dividends including the special dividend of 45.0 pence per share paid in November 2018, to 102.0 pence per share (2017: 47.5).

I'm supremely unimpressed by this product and very annoyed at the amount of money I put into it, only for it to break so soon. Pyranha's customer service is nothing to write home about either.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Susan from Why did I not do this years ago? I do not know why I waited so long! Fly system keeps all of the fly's out of my stalls and for the first time in years in the barn we are fly free! Installation into the main barn took about 4 hours, but it was easy to read the instructions and the second shed row being a straight run was about 2.5 hours. The main barn fans do not seem to create a problem, horses are so much happier and I am barely having to spray when they come out to work or the farrier. I did one nozzle per 12 x 12 box and 2 nozzles per 12 x 24 box stalls, and 3 nozzles per stall in the outdoor barn which those stalls are 24 x 24. Love that I can change the programing and adjust to the weather. Will not have another barn without this!
Rated 5 out of 5 by SPF1 from Best Fly System Going! We have this system in our 22 stall barn and find it fantastic! The horses are in during the day in the summer and we have it programmed to spray every two hours during peak fly period. When we turn the horses out again at night we find that we only have to manually fly spray their stomachs as the rest of them has been covered throughout the day. We are also in an area that has a lot of water and it keeps the mosquitos at bay. How did we live without this system?
Rated 5 out of 5 by Scout01 from Really useful in our barn! We purchased this system when we bought our own place. It wasn't too difficult for my husband to install, and we programed it to run at certain times throughout the day. It makes a little noise when it sprays, but our horses quickly accepted it and learned to stay in the barn during peak insect hours! We live near standing water, so it was a lifesaver with the mosquito problem, and kept flies away as well. I would definately recommend this system!
