But they have been taken aback by the vociferous opposition.
"Birders aren't going to go out and buy a duck stamp because it has a little oriole on it," said Adam Grimm, an artist in South Dakota who has twice won the fierce annual competition for stamp design.
In a notice published in February, the agency proposed that the paintings continue to feature a waterfowl species, but also include, in a cameo role, a second species that might be found in the same habitat.
Adding the second bird has been pushed by Friends of the Migratory Bird/Duck Stamp, a private organization that sees this as a way to win wider support.
The proposed change was open to public comments through late March. A large majority opposed the plan.
"Don't mess up a wildly successful program," read a typical statement. "Why do bureaucrats think they have to continually stir the pot?" asked another.


David Dugan is out to up Snowmass' fun factor, get the community together and raise money for a worthy cause — all at once.
With this in mind, the Snowmass resident and restaurant owner spearheaded "Septemberfest," a new event that will debut in the village today.
Septemberfest will feature somewhat of a marketplace-type experience in the Base Village plaza with more than 25 local vendors and restaurant booths.
The goal is to offer something for everyone in the family, Dugan said, including a massage station and wine and sake tastings for the adults as well as a bounce house, petting zoo, face painters and cotton candy for the kids.
Dugan and fellow Snowmass restaurateur Dieter Schindler were the minds behind the ski area's closing day parties in the spring, which also aimed to add color to the mountain's final run of the season.
"I think we're both kind of inspired by the same grow this fun element at Snowmass," Schindler said in April of he and Dugan.
Breathing more life into Snowmass Village isn't the only driving force for Dugan who feels it's equally important to give back.
Septemberfest will benefit the Bridging Bionics Foundation, a Basalt-based nonprofit that helps fund, educate and advance the research and development of exoskeletons and bionic technology.
The foundation also works with its clients at the Snowmass Club about three times per week, executive director Amanda Boxtel said.
Boxtel, who helps people with spinal injuries regain mobility via two exoskeletons and vibration training, said Bridging Bionics is "honored" to be the event's beneficiary.
"It's the call that every nonprofit wants to receive," Boxtel said of Dugan's call "out of the blue" earlier this summer.
Septemberfest will feature a silent auction whereby all proceeds will benefit Bridging Bionics. A yet to be determined portion of all Base Village restaurants' sales throughout Septemberfest also will go toward the foundation, Dugan said.
Admission to the Septemberfest, slated from 4 to 7 p.m., is free, but donations to Bridging Bionics are strongly encouraged.

Police officers are warning motorists to drive to the foggy road conditions after a motorist was clocked doing 115mph along the M6 .
The Central Motorway Policing Group (CMPG) - a team made up from Staffordshire and West Midlands Police - were astonished when they saw the car speeding along the wet roads with two children in the back.
They took to social media to warn other road users to keep their speed down and drive to the conditions.
It is thought the driver travelling along the M6 shortly after 9.15am today (December 26) will be due before the courts in the coming weeks.
A CMPG spokesman said: "The weather is not the best today, foggy, drizzle, and wet roads.
"Please slow down and drive correctly. This driver has no excuse to be travelling at these speeds, would you believe he has two kids on board too!
"A day in court awaits."
Traffic monitoring service INRIX reports the A500 around the junction 15 area has been particularly foggy this morning but says the traffic is coping well.

Siddhasena Divakara a été un grand théologien du jaïnisme, qui a rendu accessible au peuple les pensées de la foi jaïne. Il a vécu aux alentours du  avant notre ère. Issu d'une famille de brahmane, il était attaché à la cour du roi Vukramaditya; et a été initié au jaïnisme par l'Acharya Vruddhavadi. Le roi lui a donné ce surnom de Divakara qui signifie : Soleil. Ses écrits touchent aux domaines de l'écologie, de la religion, et de la logique. Trois livres remarquables de Divakara sont : le Nyayavatara : Les Escaliers de la logique; le Sanmati Sutra : la Logique de la sagesse juste; et le Kalyana Mandir Stotra : l'Écologie du bien-être.

L'histoire raconte qu'il a été banni de l'ordre des ascètes jaïns car il voulait traduire des textes du prakrit au sanskrit. Siddhasena Divakara aurait permis la conversion de nombreux dignitaires de multiples royaumes.

I'm oh so very excited to tell you that after a lot of work, the new issue of FEAST: A Dinner Journal is ready! It has just launched and for this issue we now have an exclusive app which you can download via iTunes, it allows you to buy and subscribe digitally to this and future issues. For printed copies, you can visit MagCloud and order there.
Continuing our theme of celebrating Irish ingredients in this issue we hit the road in July to visit producers all across Ireland, to soak up the best food and produce the country has to offer. Producing the images for the magazine is my favourite part of the process and it provides an opportunity to spend time with some incredible and inspiring people.
The most nerve-wracking photo I took was during a visit to Aisling Kennedy's bee hives, where dressed from head to toe in a bee suit, I had to try and shoot the hive closeup with my hands completely covered in bees. An intimidating and high adrenaline situation but an incredible experience altogether. Honey will forever be one of those magical natural ingredients and I was so thrilled to get a chance to include it as a key ingredients in our FEAST.
One of my favourite moments on the journey, was a visit to Anna and her two year old daughter Lucie from Triskell Goats Cheese. We spent hours with them making cheese and feeding the goats and it was so beautiful to see Lucie so at ease with the goats and them with her. One very early summer morning in Dublin was spent with Marion and Dervla from the PepperPot Cafe, my favourite lunchtime spot, where I finally learned the secrets behind their bread which makes the most epic roast pear, bacon and montgomery cheese sandwich. The ladies were full of beans, clearly more used to early morning starts than us and were full of stories and laughs as they baked cakes and made bread.
I have been meaning to visit Denise from The Herb Garden for a few years now after chatting more than once over twitter. Her knowledge of herbs for both medicinal and culinary usage is an incredible resource and a late Friday evening was spent at her little stone cottage surrounded by herbs in the Naul. We took photos, talked and nibbled our way through the many varieties of herbs she grows. On the same day we took a trip to Virginia in Cavan to visit the Farmers2Market organic chicken farmers to take images of the birds. I had met the guys at the Bloom Festival two years ago, and have been buying their chicken ever since so it was a great opportunity to catch up with them.
I was really excited to get the chance to shoot the fabulous Wild Flour Kate's beautiful sweet creations for this issue. We worked together earlier this year to create a shared blog post so I knew her cakes would make a great addition to our menu. Kate invited me to her house where we shot the beautiful stone fruit cake which adorns the front cover of this issue, watched closely by her two dogs eager to eat any leftovers! On a sunny summer afternoon we travelled to Tara to visit Bernie from Burke's Farm Icecream and sample her creative flavour combinations. I had met Bernie at the Sheridan's Food Fest a few years ago and just one taste her Apple Crumble Ice Cream had me hooked- she piled us up with a whole selection of different tubs to take in the car ride home!
The artistic element of this issue came in the form of Jennifer Slattery's unique linen tableware. We met Jennifer in her design studio on the northside of Dublin and she gave us a tour of her studio and put the finishing touches to the linen napkins which we used for our final FEAST table. With all the producers images complete the last job on the list was to shoot the images of our final meal. For that, we stayed close to home, in fact only a couple of minutes from where I live, to the picturesque grounds of Howth castle and it's adjoining cookery school. It was the perfect setting and our little team got stuck in to creating the most beautiful scene. I roped Cathy who styles the set for Kitchen Hero in to bring together the props for our table and picnic setting. The ever attentive Sharon was on food styling duties, backed up by Ajda and Sarah in the kitchen. Ross our fabulous editor at large even graced us with his presence in shorts and tshirts nonetheless and pushed us to get the best photos we possibly could. The scene was set and after a long day with an early start, with the help of friends and producers, finally we all sat down and ate our high summer FEAST!

Many Businesses Could Unknowingly Be Committing Tax Fraud By Claiming Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) AKA The Furlough Scheme
The Coronavirus Pandemic Employers Allowance Has Caused Some Businesses to Unwittingly Claim National Insurance Contributions Twice Which Is Considered Tax Fraud By HMRC
In April this year, the government increased the Employment Allowance (EA) from £3,000 to £4,000 however there were more restrictions on eligibility than in previous years, therefore, employers needed to reapply and will need to do so annually. The Employment Allowance allows eligible employers to reduce their National Insurance liability by up to £4,000 per annum. This means that each time payroll is run, the employer pays less employers Class 1 National Insurance until the £4,000 has been used up or the tax year ends (whichever is sooner).
The Coronavirus, COVID-19 pandemic hit businesses before some had applied for this scheme. Then, the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) also known as the furlough scheme was introduced and part of this grant covered the employers payroll costs including the employers National Insurance contribution (when their entire workforce were on furlough from April to July.) This is where the confusion started, two schemes that related to National Insurance contribution
When analysing furlough rules, the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB) agreed you "use up" the £4,000 allowance then ask for costs over and above from the furlough grant. But, not all employers took this stand and were calculating claims for furlough on full claim back. Ie not using the £4000 Employers Allowance as some employers had not even applied for that allowance they then delayed applying for it.
Then comes July and the start of employers paying towards the costs, the first thing removed from the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme was the funding for the employers National Insurance contribution, those that had not claimed for the Employers Allowance started to do so.
Some people interpreted the wording that £4,000 allowance was on top of the furlough, an article in Accountingweb added confusion to the issue – but that is another, long story!
HMRC have now confirmed:
Employers Allowance is a government funded grant
Furlough is a government funded grant
Fact: you cannot claim more than one government funded grant for a particular cost.
Therefore, if an employer did not apply for the Employers Allowance grant of £4000 until later in the year and the employer claimed furlough you must advise HMRC who will then reduce the amount of £4000 left by the amount of the claim made for furlough. If an employer does not do this, it will be considered to be claiming twice for same component which is considered fraud and may result in all claims being investigated.
Tax fraud, also known as tax evasion, is taken very seriously by HMRC and they have a huge drive to crack down on this, HMRC issue a lot of fines for tax fraud and push members of the public to report possible tax fraud, their tag line is: "HMRC pursue every penny to ensure that tax crime never pays" so employers need to be aware of this and rectify this as soon as possible.

Who is this clown?
DarkReality Date: Saturday, 2009-05-02, 0:51 AM | Message # 1
Hello everyone, Dark Reality here. I'm the newest member of DX:R, having just been recruited by Trasher yesterday or the day before. (I'm nocturnal, my days kinda all flow together.) I haven't actually done anything yet but throw some ideas around, but Trasher thinks I have what it takes and I'm eager to prove him right.
My role is this: I'll be adding "life" to DX:R. If you've played the recently released The Nameless Mod, the total conversion (new game) for Deus Ex, you've probably seen how everyone has in his or her office a music CD or two, a movie or two, a game, maybe a movie poster or something. TNM added a lot of textures like that. And it doesn't stop with pop culture references. Petri dishes for the labs, ashtrays for the restaurants - there's just a LOT of new stuff. My big idea was to find a way to get all these extra props into the original DX somehow. (TNM is released under a Creative Commons license that allows us to use their stuff, so permission isn't an issue.) Rather than strike out on my own, I remembered the fun I had with DX:Revision a few months ago or whenever when I tried their demo. Since my imagined mod would compete with DX:R, I thought, why not see if we can work together? I don't know the first thing about UnrealEd actually, but both Trasher and one of the lead devs for TNM both assure me it's easy.
As for Deus Ex, I've been playing it since it was new. I bought the game when it first came out for $50 or $60. I don't remember why I bought it. I didn't play a demo, and YouTube wasn't around then. I had a better job then than I have now, so it was most likely a blind buy. I have literally played it over 100 times start to finish, quite possibly more. My wife's watched me beat the game, and then turn around and start a new one, and go through Liberty and Clinton before saving and calling it a day. It's like that favorite movie or book or album you can listen to over and over again, but I have never listened to any CD, read any book, or seen any movie as many times as I've played Deus Ex. Then I joined GameFAQs in 2006 and realized I didn't know as much as I thought I did. I learned about all kinds of secrets (and exploits). For example the (near worthless) storeroom in the airport, across from the pool tables. You open it by playing the pinball machine, or using the console in the security room across the lobby.
I also learned about mods - I'd been playing vanilla the whole time. I learned about Shifter, and with author Y|yukichigai's permission, made a fork called ShifterPlus which basically raises the ammo capacity by about a thousand fold for most guns (less for the GEP gun, and the grenades). I believe if you don't cheat (ALLAMMO) you'll never be told you have enough of that type of ammo, and that's the goal. Skill level prices are revised a little, biocells are worth more, the speed aug does more (you can nearly fly on level 4 with the synthetic heart activated - and you can hurt yourself, too), and you can upgrade your Datalink to remotely access computers and terminals from the distance of the Sniper rifle (thanks to Smoke39 for that). I also had the DX board on GameFAQs name all the best secrets in the game, and then ran a "hurt & heal" on the suggestions to come up with the ten best. I then wrote a pretty good article about them on my site (which also hosts ShifterPlus) which you can find by clicking "WWW" below my post. I've wrote a few other articles I think are worth reading, such as an explanation of what happens between DX and IW, including which ending JC would have had to have chosen in DX. Also a lengthly opinion of how a film adaptation needs to be to best honor the game. And I started a novelization; though it's been stalled for a couple months, I post every chapter as I finish it. Liberty's done, UHQ#1 is done, and before that there's a "back story" chapter I'm kind of proud of. JC meets Gunther, and Gilbert and Sandra Renton before Liberty - and before he gets his augmentations, when he's still 100% human. One of the goals of the story is character development.
As for me personally, well, I shouldn't need to say that I love to write. Kudos to you if you're still reading. I'd like to think I'm interesting but I know it's not always the case. Anyway, I live in the middle of nowhere east of Greenville, NC, but I was born and raised in Santa Rosa, CA, about an hour north of San Francisco, up in the wine country. I've been a computer geek since my dad's Commodore-Amiga 1000, maybe before, but that's the first one I remember. I've been online since 1994 when my dad introduced me to Altavista, before Google and Yahoo. I've been on message boards since I joined the RIAA's forum in 1999 when they were still trying to shut Napster down. (I advised them to regulate it, rather than shut it down, because the successor would let people share more than just .mp3 files - look where we are now. I also, more importantly, argued in favor of fair use when downloading music one already owns (e.g. on tape or album). I was arguing with record execs up there, it was brilliant. They shut it down because of "people like me" but I don't recall ever having any help up there. So you might say I shut down the RIAA forum.)
After that I did a lot of bouncing around before finding a "home" on the forum for the band Disturbed. To make a long story short, I made a really good friend up there, and decided to go see her for my 25th birthday. I fell in love within a week (which is how long I stayed) and, after two more visits (she visited me, I visited her again) I decided to pack everything up and drive across the country. It took a good week, but I made it, and we were married the next year. This July 7 makes 3 years. (No kids yet, but we're trying.) I quit the Disturbed board a while before they shut it down in favor of a paid-access site (surprisingly, people do pay to talk about Disturbed online) and started my own board, using a piece of software called Invision Power Board. Great software, but lousy people. Not on the board - that never really took off - but at Invision. Someone asked me where to get the limited edition of Final Fantasy 8 for the PC (only a thousand or so were made) and I suggested a certain P2P network. They shut the site down because of it. Just like that. Guess it wasn't meant to be.
When I'm not at my computer, I work - a lot. I sleep a lot, too, when I can help it. I spend as much time with my wife as I can, but alas, she works and sleeps a lot too. And she's more addicted to forums than I am (if she sees this, she'll register just to post "am not!"), plus MySpace and other empty attractions online. *sigh* I love sci-fi shows, and have watched, start to finish, Star Trek: The Next Generation, ST:Deep Space Nine (twice!), ST:Voyager (twice!), ST:Enterprise, Babylon 5, Twin Peaks, Battlestar Galactica, and the Doctor Who soft reboot which started in 2005. The ones I watched twice, I watched once alone and once with my wife. She and I are working on Babylon 5 now. As I got her into sci-fi, she got me into wrestling. We watch the WWE near religiously, though when I watch it on my own, I skip through recaps and boring matches. It's only been 4 years, but I feel like I've been watching it for twice that. We don't and can't stay current, but we DVR what comes on TV and download what doesn't (most notably, SmackDown). We also play Rock Band on the Xbox 360 and buy downloadable songs weekly. The list of songs we can choose from numbers 316 currently, and we have the points to buy nine more. Honestly, I suck at it, but I try, and I have fun. My wife's the expert on all four instruments who can play anything. She is to Rock Band how I am to Deus Ex, I think, though she hasn't been playing it for as long. Outside, I love to drive - nothing fast or fancy, I just love being behind the wheel.
Which I guess all brings us to now.
As it relates to DX, I've always wanted to do something for the DX community. ShifterPlus and the whole of my DX site sort of serves that purpose. (I've also got a cell phone theme - wallpaper and ringtone - and designs for a DX shirt you can make with iron-on transfers.) But it's not really enough. I hope I can make a worthwhile contribution to DX:R. It's not even the recognition; they could take my name off the crew page and it wouldn't bother me (though it wouldn't stroke my ego as it does, either). It's more the feeling that I've given something back. For the past couple years I've wanted to do something important, and I think, TNM aside, DX:R may be the most important thing to happen to DX. Shifter was pretty big, of course, no denying that, but DX:R breathes new life into the game like nothing else.
As it relates to this forum, you may see Trasher made me an admin. Feel completely free to disagree with me for any reason. I'm not going to be a moderator. I spent enough time on GameFAQs to know better than that. I'll clean up spam if I see it, or if someone posts clearly illegal content (like Windows 7 downloads, or illegal porn), but I'm not out to bust heads. As it relates to this community, I really just want to be an equal and discuss the game and other topics of interest. I'd ask to be demoted, but as a geek, I love being able to get under the hood.

Wow, that's some big post you got there, nice introduction aswell.
As DarkReality said, he has just joined the Revision team. Welcome aboard! DarkReality will be in charge of adding in-game texts,support,beta-testing and as a minor mapper.
Oh by the way Dark, I got our server back online.. our small "database" will be up in a few days.

Ooh. This is gonna hurt. I can't make the SDK work with Vista. I'm not unwilling to go back to XP at all, though I'd like to stick with and learn Vista, even though it's got its faults.
Yeah, looks like I pissed off the post parser. Not sure what the limit's set at, but I broke it. Twice. I do that. Once on a board with no limit, some years ago, for the hell of it, I posted the entire text of Anne Rice's Interview With the Vampire. The admin was not amused. (Yeah, anyone remember when vampires were still cool?)
I (may have) forgot to mention, another pet project of mine is tentatively called "DX on a stick". Already, you can install DX, the latest patch (not necessary if you install GOTY edition), Shifter (optional), TNM (optional) and probably others, and copy the whole folder to a flash drive. The game is portable as long as you redirect the CDPath (just take out the drive letter). DX+TNM=2.21GB though and not all flash drives are created equal. You want the smallest (capacity) Corsair Flash Voyager or Readout. Smaller capacity inherently means faster in flash drives, and virtually nothing beats a Corsair in the 0 to 60, as it were. Then your next big hurdle is the save folder. Loads and saves (including map transitions) will take 3-5 minutes PER on the flash drive, so the save folder needs to be copied and the INI file redirected to the C drive so the saves and loads don't make the game annoying. The finishing touch will be full integration with the PortableApps.com menu so you can choose "Deus Ex", "The Nameless Mod", "Deus Ex with Shifter", and others from a simple menu. Maybe we can even get/make a Deus Ex skin for the menu and that would be the flash drive's only purpose. Then you could take DX anywhere. But that's a ways off.
Really great introduction there! Welcome to the team!
You love sci-fi too? As a Trekkie/Trekker I'm going to watch the new Star Trek movie on the premiere on Friday
DarkReality Date: Tuesday, 2009-05-05, 3:00 AM | Message # 7
Thanks bjorn and thanks for the rep boost. I was looking for a way to reply, I guess you can only reply to messages, not notifications. Anyway, ShifterPlus isn't that big of a deal, it's just a Shifter hack - though I'll always defend the raising of the ammo caps. I always thought it was a fault in DX that it was throwing ammo at you - some of which you had to go through Hell for - and then turns around and says "you can't carry anymore". To find out you wasted a lockpick on a clip of 10mm ammo might bother some (not me - pistol's my main weapon) but it's just insulting to be told you can't carry it after all.
My wife and I are both excited about the new Star Trek movie - so's my mother, actually - she's called to tell me about it no less than three times. "Did you hear about the new Star Trek movie?" she'll ask. We'll watch it when we can, hopefully sometime this weekend, but I don't much like crowds. I like to go to the movies and sit in the very back row, dead center, right under the projector. And I don't like anybody next to me except my wife. Come into the theater and somebody's in my spot, or I get my spot and some stranger wants to sit by me - not cool. My TV's only 32" and 720p but it looks good and the sound system's really boss, it's almost worth it to just wait for video.
As far as sci-fi, I didn't mention, I'm watching Torchwood now. Set in the Doctor Who universe, it's kind of like X-Files and Men in Black. Torchwood's a top-secret organization recognized but not part of the British government, and they monitor alien activity and keep it in check. Their leader is virtually immortal and takes a shot to the head in the pilot, gets back up. He actually dies in Doctor Who at an age "in the hundreds of millions" in the future, on another world, and in a different physical form, but that's entirely beside the point. It's a more mature show than Doctor Who by far, with depictions of sex (no nudity) and coarse language. Not nearly as dark as Battlestar Galactica though.
Star Trek was so cool when it was all I knew. Doctor Who is kind of silly, but I enjoyed it a lot more than most of Trek (at least Enterprise and a lot of Voyager). Babylon 5 and Battlestar Galactica are both immensely better. I still think ST:Deep Space Nine's "In the Pale Moonlight" owns all. It's great until the last sentence, where it becomes truly epic. Star Trek is kind of like the gateway drug of sci-fi. Star Wars, yeah, sure, but that's more fantasy, and not nearly all Star Wars fans get into any other sci-fi. Star Wars is a fun ride, but it doesn't get into the science enough. Doesn't make you think. Doctor Who is much the same way, but Star Wars is much more approachable (at least for Americans, I think?). Yet I can't help wondering if R2-D2 isn't based on the Daleks. I know the phone booth in Bill & Ted was zoinked from DW.

I know about Torchwood I hope it's back on the air soon. :/ I also LOVE Doctor Who. The cleverness of it all, running around, hitting things with a plastic hammer and being totally crazy. I love that.
In the sci-fi club that I'm a member of (actually I'm a board member :D) we sometimes watch Battlestar Galactica and we are in the beginning of the forth season now, sad that it eventually comes to an end. But don't spoil anything because I haven't watched it all.
DarkReality Date: Tuesday, 2009-05-05, 8:28 PM | Message # 9
Oh, the ending's awesome. A bit bloated, they could have cut a bit of it, there was a lot of filler, but the last minute or so was pure epic win.
Funny thing about Doctor Who, this show's overall pretty silly, right... The main villains are the Master, the Cybermen, and the Daleks. The Daleks are cute at best, the Cybermen are completely non-threatening, and of course the Master owns all, but he only shows up once in the new series (season 3). Anyway, most of it's just cute and silly but overall cool, and then they throw the Ood at you - much like the Pak'ma'rah on Babylon 5, ugly aliens with tentacles coming out their mouth area. The Ood are downright scary at first, especially with the red eyes. As if that's not bad enough, they've got that scene in Season 1 ("The Empty Child") where the doctor... a gas mask comes out his mouth and takes over his face. It was just uncharacteristically creepy. And the little girl, I believe towards the end of Season 2 ("Fear Her"). But what really takes the cake is the episode "Blink" in Season 3 or 4. I can't remember if it was Donna Noble or Martha Jones with him, but those angels which could only move if nobody was looking (including the audience, lol). The face on that one when the guy looks over his shoulder for just a second. Like our guitarist says when we suggest Yngwie Malmsteen on Rock Band, "Not no... but HELL NO!" I'd like to see more horrific stuff on the show like that, but I guess with Doctor Who being more of a family show, I should be expecting that out of Torchwood.

Haha, Blink is great! That is Martha with him in that episode, Season 3.
This is the main reason why I like Doctor Who: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK3tTGB72jE
Just look at it, the dialogue is totally random, and that makes it so damned funny.

Yeah, it's like this unlikely hero is so unlikely to actually solve any of the problems laid out before him, so when he does, it's satisfying somehow.

Hello DarkReality, I have been absent from the DX:R forums for some time and missed some stuff. I wish you and the rest of the DX:R team the best of luck on the mod and hope that none of you lose your sanity.
Sorry for the absence by the way, I spent most of my time over at OTP, FPSBanana, GameFAQs, and Mod DB.

Hey Kee715, No problem. Nice to see you stopping by every now and then.


Supporting fast fashion is something that we´re all guilty of doing at some point. It´s cheaper (and we all love a good bargain), many of us won´t even know the difference and did I mention it´s cheaper? But do you know at what cost it´s cheaper for you?
Sometimes we come across disturbing newspaper articles mentioning big fashion groups´ scandals (price tags with desperate cries for help, for instances), trying to alert us to the issues of the so-called fast fashion. It doesn't stop most of us from buying but at least it can help us make smarter choices regarding what and where we choose to buy. I didn´t understand much besides the obvious about what sustainable fashion was about and the negative impacts of fast fashion so I did a little research and it´s both an interesting and devastating topic.
Jewellery by Juna is an eco-friendly brand, using recycled sterling silver, fair trade gold and each piece is hand-crafted, making sure everyone involved in the process is fairly paid and well treated is one of their objectives. A beautiful blue gemstone necklace caught my eye and so that´s what I chose to style.
I was immediately impressed with the quality of the materials (chalcedony, iolite, sterling silver) and I asked for a longer length to have multiple options when it comes to style it (as you know, layering is kind of my thing when it comes to accessories plus the internet says it´s cool and trendy, so…).
Because of the beautiful pendant I often use it backward, with open back dresses or tops (which I'm counting to look way cooler during the summer when I finally get a proper tan…).
The necklace is just one of the many unique pieces Juna crafts. After this necklace, my favorites are the multiple stacks of rings. Everything is so minimal and tasteful that you can´t possibly go wrong when styling her pieces. Make sure to check Juna´s online store here and her website, which provides useful information on the crafting process and gives you an idea of what ethical fashion is.
I believe bloggers and influencers have an important role in this matter. With a big following come big responsibilities. At least I always saw it that way. Promoting sustainable fashion is one of the things I care about the most.
There are multiple ways of supporting slow fashion: buying vintage, choosing small companies (you can even help local and small businesses grow), create your own clothes (that´s a tricky one, I know, but it´s a childhood dream) or choosing quality over quantity (you´ll end up saving money with your long-term investment).
beautiful necklaces! babe your images are getting prettier and prettier!
Love all the pieces hun!!
Love all the pieces hun!
I just had a look at the website as I did not know the brand. I looove it, thanks for sharing 🙂 As you said, it is so important to keep educating people and the jewellery industry is a perfect example as it is so polluting.

Installing iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS: OUCH!
So last night, 12th October – 7pm BST, I like millions of others started the process of upgrading to iOS 5. For me this meant a major tweak to my 2 year old iPhone 3GS.
There is an old rule in IT, never be first to adopt a new technology. Historically, this is because almost all first versions end up being a little buggy and sometimes feature short, incomplete.
More recently, it has come to also represent the storm of traffic generated by online updates. iOS updates are affected more by the latter, though even the Apple Corporate machine does through out the odd spanner.
A third reason, specific to Operating System upgrades, is that your favourite Apps are not guaranteed to work with the new version. This is reasonably common on iOS with a small wait for updates to Apps normal. Some become unstable, some simply refuse to run.
So, caveat empor. An update to the Operating System of any computer can be frustrating and painful.
This is certainly comes under all of that as I opted to update within an hour of release.
No screenshots of any of this, I'm afraid.
All seemed quite normal. The process began just like any other iOS update, with a device backup.
Then came the download. I have reports that this ran particularly slowly but as I often get speeds below 300Kbps I didn't notice anything unusual.
The download completed without error. 600MB+.
So I reconnect the iPhone and hit the prompted "update" button.
It said it would take some time, saying that the device would be backed up again and my settings all restored after the update had completed.
An hour later the installation had failed, indicating that there had been an unknown error restoring the device, a 32XX error. I checked the iPhone and it was Indeed still running iOS 4.3.5.
So I persisted. I persisted another 3 times.
All failed with similar faults.
So, for the fifth attempted I sat in. And this time it was different. It was worse.
To start with all again looked fine. The install got passed the backup phase without issue. It extracted the software and the iPhone itself started to receive the installation.
But something along the way went wrong and after a fair old time, about an hour, the iPhone went into a ever repeating reboot cycle. What happened at the end of this was the iPhone stopped and stayed in state with a simple grey screen.
This is called recovery mode. It's one step away from what is commonly called "bricking" your iPhone. Bricking is where the iPhone becomes essentially useless. Indeed, that is what thought had happened.
Luckily, this situation resolved itself simply enough. I unplugged the iPhone, which remained in the grey screen, recovery mode. I plugged the device back in. After a short delay (I nearly unplugged it again) the device was detected by iTunes.
Unfortunately, it was not recognised. The system did state though that the iPhone was in Recovery mode and would need to be restored.
It then asked if I wanted to restore a backup, so I said yes.
I tried the process again, this time it failed again but I got a prompted to continue and delete the backup. Which I did.
Now things went very well, if slowly. The iPhone accepted and was installed with the new iOS. Finally.
By now it wad nearly tomorrow. The installation had one last surprise as it then added the Apps one at a time. So with hours of additions to go, I left the iPhone – once again – to it's own devices.
I was immensely relieved to find the the iOS 5 and various bits had finished when I got up at 5:30.
A little time to spare, I started to have a play, which you can see below.
Well, I would prefer that the install went a fair way better but the relief is palpable. The iOS 5 tweaks aren't complete on the iPhone 3GS good enough to justify the pain.
Apple need to find a way of testing these updates better. This is the second major release with similar issues, iOS 2 – iOS 3 wasn't nice. iOS 3 to iOS 4 was better but a lapse here should not have happened. There has been ample time to test.
Of the iOS users at work, there attempted the upgrade. All three had major issues. All three thought they had bricked their iPhones.
… soon I'll show what does and doesn't work (well/not well). For me on my 3GS anyway.
I have all the above issues and my iphone keeps crashing everytime i touch an app.
Alas the firmware is all rolled up with the update. It is not possible to break the firmware and iOS updates away from eachother.
If you iTunes update has failed I would try the Apple forums for advice but I think the device normally has to go back to Apple if it is bricked as there is no way to get a new image installed.

Study abroad experiences count: Motivational profiles of EFL listeners and its impact on top-down and bottom-up processing

Department of English and Communication
Research output: Journal article publication › Journal article › Academic research › peer-review
Effective listening strategy use is crucial for second language (L2) learners as it facilitates listening comprehension. Although strategy use can be boosted from various ways (e.g. explicit instruction), we are uncertain whether L2 listening motivation can affect learners' listening strategy use. The present study aims at examining the relationship between L2 listening motivation and L2 listening strategy use of learners with and without overseas study experience. We administered a L2 listening motivation questionnaire, measuring expectancy, importance and interest, and an English as a foreign language listening strategy inventory, focusing on top-down and bottom-up strategy use, with 465 Chinese undergraduate students. To supplement the quantitative results, a semi-structured interview was conducted with four participants to explore their L2 listening motivational profiles. The findings suggest that L2 listening motivation was positively correlated with bottom-up and top-down processing, except the relationship between importance and top-down processing. Learners with study abroad experience, who immersed themselves into real-time communication, were more aware of the importance of L2 listening thus employed more top-down strategies, whilst those without overseas experience, though acknowledged the cruciality of L2 listening, adopted fewer top-down strategies and were more examination driven. The findings shed light on L2 listening teaching and learning.

Low turnout typical for Frisco's city and school board elections
By Daniel Houston | 1:00 PM Apr 5, 2019 CDT
FRS-2019-04-26_2
FRS-2019-04-27
When deciding the issues that most affect Frisco residents' every-day lives—from trash collection and street repair to new schools—voters may see the most direct impact from local elections.
However, if history is any indication, only a small share of Frisco residents who are registered to vote will actually cast ballots in the May 4 elections, and those who do vote will not closely resemble the general vot-ing-age population, research shows.
Voter turnout rates for municipal elections in Collin and Denton coun-ties typically hover in the single dig-its. In contrast, roughly eight times as many Dallas-Fort Worth voters turned out for last November's mid-term elections.
This can have a profound impact on the nature of representation at the ground level of local government, said Cal Jillson, a political scientist at Southern Methodist University. Low turnout also means an organized group can have a greater influence on the direction of its city or school district even if the group's numbers are small, he said.
"That's not bad in the sense that those groups are welcome to turn out. They generally watch [local politics] more closely than the average voter," Jillson said. "But at the end of the day, if the issue is, 'Is a single-digit, mid-teen [percentage] type of turnout a sufficient democratic foundation for local government?' I think the answer is probably no."
In May 2018, 7.5 percent of Frisco voters turned out to elect two council members.
In a 2016 study by Portland State University, researchers found municipal election turnout in 10 of America's 30 largest cities was lower than 15 percent. More than half of voters in local elections in 50 cities were age 57 or older—nearly a generation older than the median age of all eligible voters, according to the study.
The study also found voter turnout tends to fluctuate from neighborhood to neighborhood, with a significant number of residents living in what the study referred to as voting deserts. Turnout in these voting deserts was lower than half the city average.
Reasons for low turnout
There is a relatively simple way to improve voter participation in local elections: Hold them at the same time as statewide and national races, Jillson said. While this approach would almost certainly increase turnout, it would come with its own set of problems, he said.
City and school board races are often intended to be nonpartisan, but a large number of voters are driven by their affiliation with a major political party, Jillson said.
"The reason that municipal elections are held off of the major election cycle … is that they want voters—even if the number of voters are small—to be focused on local issues and not be distracted by Beto [O'Rourke] or [Donald] Trump," Jillson said.
For the Frisco ISD tax ratification election in August 2016, the voter turnout rate was 16 percent. The school district held another TRE and bond election during last November's general election, and the voter turnout was 60 percent.
Frisco political consultant Tracy Gamble has studied local voting patterns for years. Those who vote in city and school elections tend to show up reliably from year to year, she said. She advises candidates to appeal to those voters rather than try to get new people to the polls.
That means Frisco candidates this year would focus more on the 7,144 voters who cast ballots in May 2018 over the more than 88,000 other registered voters who declined to show up.
"Few people get very involved in their local elections because they don't have the bandwidth," Gamble said. "They have a hard enough time keeping up with what's happening in Congress. And they perceive—because that's how we're taught as students—they perceive that what's happening in D.C. is more important than what's happening in Austin or in their backyard."
Frisco Chamber of Commerce President Tony Felker served as a Frisco City Council member from 2003-09. He said one of the reasons for low voter turnout in Frisco, especially during City Council elections, is people may be content with how the city is being run.
However, Felker said voter turnout is higher when there is a divisive issue on the table.
"Throughout history, working with the chamber and having been on council, it's the issues that bring people out because there are so many people on opposite sides of the issue," Felker said. "That's when you have people fired up and ready to vote."
Ram Maji is the co-chair of the Frisco Indian Affairs Committee, which works to educate the Indian community about local government and city activities. Maji said some people in Frisco's Indian community may not be eligible to vote because they are not citizens.
"Whether you're a citizen or noncitizen, we all pay taxes, and our children go to the same schools—our main goal is to educate the Indian community about what is happening in their community," Maji said. "It's a civic responsibility because we want to make sure we are picking the right candidate."
Rising partisan influence
Campaign strategy in local elections is also adjusting to what political observers and participants describe as a growing influence of partisan groups.
"We've seen it actually happen in North Texas where a small group—maybe 100 people with barely enough reach to turn out 800 or 1,000 voters—can turn an election because historically the electorate doesn't pay attention to local races," Gamble said.
These groups sometimes view a local office as a stepping stone to higher office, Gamble said. Serving on the city council or school board requires a fraction of the campaigning and cost of a larger-scale campaign. These positions are also viewed as a resume booster for a later run for another office.
Candidates navigate this increasingly partisan environment in different ways. Gamble, who is not working for any candidates this election cycle, said she advises her clients to stick with a nonpolitical message. She also tells them to appeal to voter demographics. Senior citizens, for example, are known to be active in local elections, she said.
Frisco Lakes, a retirement community in west Frisco, had the highest percentage of voters turn out in the last city election.
"In Frisco, with all the issues we have, we should be actively involved," Frisco Lake resident Ted Hart said. "We get such a great turnout [in Frisco Lakes] compared to the general populous, but we can do better."
Hart said the partisan mindset that defines the statewide and national races is not particularly useful in a municipal setting.
"I like that city council and school board races are nonpartisan because it forces people to understand the issues a little bit better rather than just blindly going ahead with a partisan vote," Hart said. "It forces you to understand the position of individuals."

Launch of new transformer company
Oct 11, 2018 | 2018
SGB-SMIT, the pure-play transformer specialist from Europe with the highest customer dedication" and Power Matla, locally owned black empowered company with investments mainly within the renewable energy, ICT, mining and power utilities markets, are proud to announce the launch of their new company SGB-SMIT POWER MATLA as of 1 August 2018.
The new company, originally Powertech Transformers (PTT), will continue to operate out of its two factories in Pretoria and Cape Town, South Africa.
"Government has supported the local transformer manufacturing industry by designating the sector through its minimum local content drive for all classes of transformers and reactors. We as PTT had built on that trust by committing to skills transfer and technology through SGB-SMIT whilst answering the call for black industrialisation through Power Matla. The Level 1 B-BBEE accreditation status achieved in March 2018 will also be maintained in the new company" said Bernard Meyer, SGB-SMIT POWER MATLA Chief Executive Officer.
SGB-SMIT confirms its continued interest in the local and African market through the purchase of the company Powertech Transformers to ensure the sustainability of locally manufacturing its transformers in the Pretoria West and Cape Town factories.

''The Powertech Transformer business has a long and successful history spanning more than 70 years. The strategic partnership with SGB-SMIT is a natural one, given the complimentary synergies and strengths between the companies and the growth opportunities in Africa, using South Africa as the base country."
"Our JV with SGB-SMIT will deliver the most advanced transformer products that support our customers with superior technical solutions and services, thereby enhancing the company value proposition in an increasingly competitive environment.

Mutabar Tadjibayeva (Margilan, Uzbekistan, 25 d'agost de 1962) és una periodista independent i activista per als drets humans uzbeka. És fundadora de l'Organització Internacional de Drets Humans Fiery Hearts Club, amb seu a Ferganà. Tadjibayeva ha dut a terme investigacions periodístiques i ha supervisat la implementació de drets humans al seu país per part de les autoritats uzbeques. Ha participat en investigacions i judicis com a advocada defensora i representant autoritzada a Uzbekistan, documentant les violacions dels drets humans i defensant les víctimes. Ha investigat especialment la massacre d'Andidjan del 2005.

Tadjibayeva va crear el 2000 l'organització «Ut Yuraklar» (Cor ardent) a la vall de Ferganà, per  lluitar pels drets dels ciutadans rurals, donat-los suport en la seva lluita per la justícia i en la seva resistència noviolenta contra l'activitat il·legal de l'Estat.

Tadjibayeva també és fundadora del Moviment Popular «Societat Civil». Va ser detinguda el 7 d'octubre de 2005 just abans de marxar a Dublín, on havia d'assistir a una conferència internacional sobre la protecció dels drets humans. Va ser acusada d'incomplir els 18 articles del Codi Penal de la República de l'Uzbekistan. Va ser imputada amb 13 acusacions i condemnada, en un judici ple d'irregularitats procedimentals, a 8 anys de presó per haver criticat el govern uzbek i les seves pràctiques violentes contra els participants de la manifestació pacífica a Andijan el 2005. Durant el seu empresonament Tadjibaeva va patir l'esterilització forçada i la tortura severa.

Reconeixements
L'any 2005, l'organització internacional PeaceWomen Across the Globe, que depèn del Comitè Nobel, incloïa el seu nom a la llista de mil dones activistes per la pau, i la convertia així en candidata oficial per al Premi Nobel de la Pau.

El 15 de maig de 2008, quan encara estava a la presó, Mutabar Tadjibayeva va ser guardonada amb el Premi Martin Ennals per a Defensors dels Drets Humans. El mateix dia, els blocaires que escriuen sobre drets humans van anunciar una llista amb les 10 dones que havien jugat el paper més important en la protecció dels drets humans, entre les quals hi havia Mutabar Tadjibayeva. El 2 de juliol de 2008, després de múltiples pressions internacionals, Tadjibayeva va ser alliberada i va acudir a la cerimònia de lliurament del premi Martin Ennals que es va celebrar a Ginebra el 20 de novembre de 2008.

Per al 60è aniversari de la Declaració Universal dels Drets Humans, el «Fiery Hearts Club» va ser guardonat amb el Premi Llibertat, Igualtat, Fraternitat de la República Francesa. El 10 de desembre de 2008, Mutabar Tadjibayeva va ser guardonada amb el mateix premi durant la cerimònia a París.

El març de 2009 Tadjibayeva va rebre el Premi Internacional Dona Coratge establert pel Departament d'Estat dels EUA. Posteriorment va retornar el premi a causa dels seus principis. A l'agost es va convertir en membre del Consell Internacional dels Drets Humans. El 2011 va aparèixer a la llista de les deu dones més influents de l'Àsia Central.  L'any 2012 va guanyar un cas històric al Comitè de Drets Humans de l'ONU contra Uzbekistan. En resposta a la seva denúncia al Comitè de Drets Humans de l'ONU, el 6 d'octubre de 2015 aquest organisme constatva que hi havia hagut "múltiples violacions" dels seus drets.

Mutabar Tadjibayeva ara és refugiada política i viu a Ile-de-France, com a cap de l'Organització Internacional de Drets Humans Fiery Hearts, amb seu a París, i dedicada a investigar i preparar queixes per a l'ONU, documentar les declaracions de les víctimes i promoure els drets dels immigrants.  Ha posat en marxa l'agència de notícies Jarayon, que es val d'una àmplia xarxa de ciutadans-periodistes i activistes localsper constituir una de les poques fonts d'informació independents sobre l'actual Uzbekistan.

Publicacions
El 2011 va escriure el llibre Prisoner of Torture Island, en què comparteix els seus records i explica les atrocitats del govern uzbek sobre la seva gent. El llibre s'ha traduït a l'anglès, rus, francès i uzbek.

DA leader Mmusi Maimane was embroiled in a heated argument with Deputy Police Minister Bongani Mkongi's Chief of Staff, Jabu Mfusi, while leading a march to Nyanga police station yesterday.
Cape Town - DA leader Mmusi Maimane has ducked and dived on questions about whether Western Cape Premier Helen Zille was undermining him, as suggested by former MP Lindiwe Mazibuko.
Mazibuko spoke at the Marie Claire Power Summit embracing Mandela Day this week, and her topic was "Speaking Politics: A Crash Course in Being in Power". She reportedly told the gathering that Zille had often failed at nurturing new leadership, saying the embattled Zille had undermined her and was doing the same thing to Maimane.
The Cape Times caught up with Maimane at a march from Manenberg to Nyanga Police Station on Thursday, where the DA called for the army to be deployed in crime-ridden areas. He declined to comment on Mazibuko's statements and hastily walked away.
"I'm here to talk about the army. I don't comment on other things. I'm here to talk about the army, I'm here to talk about the safety of the people," Maimane said.
Mazibuko had said: "I want you to remember that women pulling each other down, women undermining each other in public is not something that happens among little girls on the playground. It happens in corporate, it happens in different organisations and it happens in politics I've seen both sides of the coin and I know how important inter-generational mentoring and teaching is. This is how we get more young people and more young people in power," she said.
Zille's office did not respond to requests for comment on Thursday.
About 800 people attended the march yesterday where the DA wanted to hand over a memorandum to Deputy Minister for Police Bongani Mkongi. But Mkongi accused Maimane of using the event for politicking, and called him a hypocrite.
Mkongi said the army by nature was a more brutal force, in that they do not carry rubber bullets or pepper spray, and instead carried machine guns. "Take your memorandum back to the DA office, we are not going to accept it. Maimane, you are a hypocrite," he said. He also accused the DA of bussing in coloured people to the event yesterday to sow racial divisions in the country.
Maimane was later embroiled in a heated argument with officials from Mkongi's office who told him to leave the area. Maimane said people across Cape Town live in fear of gangs and violence without getting the same police resources as the rest of the country.
"Why must this community here in Nyanga - the murder capital of South Africa - share one police officer between 628 residents while the average for the country is one officer for every 369 people? Why is it that the entire City of Cape Town, at one officer per 560 people, has far fewer police than the rest of South Africa?
"And why has Cape Town's ratio deteriorated so much since 2016, when it was one officer per 439 people?"ANC provincial secretary Faiez Jacobs said they had observed a worrying trend around Maimane of "hiding and burying" his head in the sand when the country was having serious conversations.
"This may explain his ignorance around this issue of a military option on gang hotspots. Most experts agreed, led by Professor Theo Neethling from Free State University that the "SANDF is primarily for fighting external enemies".


The South African security appliances market declined 10.3% in value year on year during Q4 2013 to total $12.25 million, according to the 'EMEA Quarterly Security Appliance Tracker' published recently by global market intelligence firm International Data Corporation (IDC). The Tracker further predicts that the market's value will increase at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% to total $66.85 million in 2018, up from $48.75 million in 2013.
The decline in the market's value was primarily caused by consumer budget constraints and the South African rand depreciating more than 18% against the U.S. dollar in 2013. Despite this, Fortinet, Juniper, Cisco, and CheckPoint all maintained their leading market positions, collectively representing about 61% of the market's value share in Q4 2013.
Together, firewalls and unified threat management (UTM) appliances increased their contribution to the security appliances market in Q4 2013, generating 15.0% and 59.6%, respectively, of the total market value. The corresponding value contributions of content management and intrusion detection and prevention (IDP) appliances amounted to 11.5% and 6.2%, respectively. Given the current cost-reduction and unification trends, demand for content management and IDP integrated into UTM and next-generation firewall appliances is set to increase. Meanwhile, market demand for standalone versions of VPN, IDP, and content management appliances is expected to concentrate on the medium to high-end range.
In Q4 2013, 2,934 units of security appliances were shipped to South Africa. Total annual shipments are expected to increase from 10,847 units in 2013 to 16,667 units in 2018, representing a five-year CAGR of 9.0%.
"The trend toward market consolidation continues, with UTM vendor Sophos acquiring close competitor Cyberoam in February 2014," says Jiaqi Sun, a research analyst at IDC South Africa. "This acquisition will further strengthen Sophos's capability to offer a comprehensive range of security solutions and expand its customer base in emerging markets, including South Africa."
"Cost-effective UTM appliances will continue to gain traction in the largely untapped small and medium-sized business segment, where most customers still rely on traditional firewalls embedded in their network routers," continues Sun. "The fight against modern threats to service availability, such as distributed denial of services, will require specialized security solutions to complement the firewall/UTM tier following a systematic approach for protecting Internet, datacenter, and end-user networks."
"Moreover, the uptake of virtualized security solutions is increasing; these solutions form part of the server infrastructure on premise and/or hosted remotely by datacenter service providers. With the current slow-growing economic environment, virtualized security solutions could maximize the capacity utilization of security appliances and enhance overall security system performance for end users in the medium term," concludes Sun.
IDC's EMEA Quarterly Security Appliance Tracker provides total market size and vendor shares for security appliance technologies in an easy-to-use pivot table format. The tracker covers 42 countries across Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, and the Middle East and Africa. The security appliance market is further segmented by product category, product, price band, product brand, model name, server class, and operating system.

BATTLE OF THE BANS
FOUR Premier League teams at risk of transfer ban after Chelsea stopped from signing new players
The Blues will be unable to sign any players for the next year – but they might not be the only Prem team sanctioned by Fifa
By Martin Lipton and Simon Rice
23 Feb 2019, 7:30
AT LEAST four more Premier League teams are at risk of joining Chelsea and being slapped with a transfer ban.
The Blues have been banned from making any signing for a year after being found guilty of breaching Fifa rules over 29 youth players.
The ban is set to cause huge upheaval at one of the biggest teams in the Premier League.
However, they might not be the only side barred from bringing in new players.
World bosses are understood to be investigating the youth recruitment policies of at least FOUR other Premier League clubs – and if found guilty could be stung with a similar punishment to Chelsea.
The identity of the clubs has not been revealed.

As well as Chelsea being slammed by Fifa, the FA has also been hit with a massive fine for allowing the Blues to breach international regulations.
The long-running Fifa investigation into the Stamford Bridge club's recruitment policy ended with the Blues banned from making any signings for the next two transfer windows.
That would mean Chelsea cannot sign any more players until the summer of 2020, scrapping any prospect of a transfer overhaul at the end of this season.
However, Chelsea have confirmed they will appeal and are likely to be able to put the sanction off until after this summer, allowing them to make a wholesale transfer splurge.
They would then be prevented from signing any more players until January 2021.
But the news is still a massive blow to the club.

In a statement, Fifa confirmed: "The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has sanctioned the English club Chelsea FC and The Football Association for breaches relating to the international transfer and registration of players under the age of 18.
"Chelsea was found to have breached art. 19 of the Regulations in the case of 29 minor players and to have committed several other infringements relating to registration requirements for players.
"The club also breached art. 18bis of the Regulations in connection with two agreements it concluded concerning minors and which allowed it to influence other clubs in transfer-related matters.
"The Disciplinary Committee sanctioned Chelsea with a ban on registering new players at both national and international level for the next two (2) complete and consecutive registration periods.
"This ban applies to the club as a whole - with the exception of the women's and futsal teams - and does not prevent the release of players."
Chelsea must now plan to deal with the banCredit: PA:Press Association
Chelsea were also fined £460,000 and given 90 days "to regularise the situation of the minor players concerned".
Chelsea confirmed they had received the notice and signalled their intention to appeal.
A statement read: Chelsea FC has today received a decision from the FIFA Disciplinary Committee concerning alleged breaches of the FIFA Regulations that relate to the international transfer of players under the age of 18.
"The decision imposes a transfer ban of two consecutive registration periods and a fine of 600k Swiss francs. Chelsea FC categorically refutes the findings of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee and will therefore be appealing the decision.
"The club wishes to emphasise that it respects the important work undertaken by FIFA in relation to the protection of minors and has fully cooperated with FIFA throughout its investigation. Initially, Chelsea FC was charged under Articles 19.1 and 19.3 in relation to 92 players. We welcome the fact that FIFA has accepted that there was no breach in relation to 63 of these players, but the club is extremely disappointed that FIFA has not accepted the club's submissions in relation to the remaining 29 players.
"Chelsea FC acted in accordance with the relevant regulations and will shortly be submitting its appeal to FIFA."
Fifa had looked at more than 100 deals in their probe.
The Stamford Bridge club argued the vast majority of the player cases involved short-term trialists at the Cobham academy who did not sign for the club.
But one of the key planks of Fifa's case was the signing of Burkino Faso attacking midfielder Bertrand Traore, who officially joined the club in January 2014 but played in a number of youth team games when he was 16.
It was claimed that Chelsea paid £154,000 to the player's mother and a further £13,000 to his former club in Burkina Faso.
Fifa are understood to believe the club paid his fees at Whitgift School in Croydon, where former Blues defender Colin Pates is head of football.
Fifa rules prevent players under 18 being transferred across national borders unless their parents have emigrated for non-footballing reasons, although the minimum age is 16 for players moving within the EU.

Zurich chiefs accused the FA of lax administration and enforcement of the regulations.
The FA was also fined £391,000 after Fifa ruled the governing body had "breached the rules in connection with minors".
And Wembley chiefs were ordered "to address the situation concerning the international transfer and first registration of minors in football" over the next six months.
Fifa added: "The protection of minors is a key element in FIFA's overall regulatory framework relating to the transfer of players and effective enforcement of these rules is paramount, as also confirmed on various occasions by the Court of Arbitration for Sport."
Chelsea's prospects of overturning the ban are limited even if they appeal to CAS, although they could get the sanction halved if they are successful.
But with at least four other Premier League clubs under investigation, Chelsea are not the only ones who could be in the dog-house.

Take me back to the days where the only hustle I needed was just enough to make it to the cupcake shop in time before it closed! These pictures were taken downtown Austin, Texas right outside of a little bakery called Walton's. While hanging out with my friend Anna over the weekend (to clear all confusion, her name is Anna too) we impulsively decided that we wanted sweet treats and opted to haul ourselves out to track some down. Within seconds of our sweet tooth craving Anna yelled out, "hurry they close in 10 minutes!" Hahah! We grabbed our wallets, slipped on our shoes and took off running (literally). Anna had a specific bakery in mind and we had all of 10 minutes to make it there in time. After a sprint through downtown Austin we arrived with just enough time to snag a cupcake and a piece of pumpkin pie! The brick-walled bakery, deli & flower shop with a rustic-chic interior was well worth the hustle!
My hustle this week is oh so different. Back to the grind! From workout clothes to work clothes I have about 138273891273 things that I need to accomplish both at home and in the office! I can't wait to share more about my trip and a little travel guide for all of you Austin lovers out there very soon but in the meantime, I am busy busy getting myself back on track. It's looking like I will be buying a car rather than a cupcake today due to some unexpected car troubles. I will be hustling right on over to the car dealership after work. Ohhhhh the joy of being back to reality! Stay tuned! Travel guide, car update and other fun things are on their way!
I got a lot of questions about this outfit after it made its debut over on Instagram. I love being a VIP Fabletics member and highly recommend it to anyone who is in limbo and loves workout gear! Shop my picks HERE!
