M/S Vestkysten
Thanks to my profession I was fortunate enough to get a tour of the 70 year old danish costal vessel M/S Vestkysten, at Simrishamn Shipyard in Sweeden.
It was built in 1945 for the danish ministry of fisheries and spent most part of its life as an inspection vessel. Before it was towed to Simrishamn in Sweeden it had been used as a house boat, anchored in the waters behind Christians Havn in Copenhagen.
The yard had already begun plucking away the old machinery in the belly of the vessel, with the first major step being the removal of the large 8 cylinder diesel engine from the 1980's (originally it had been fitted with a 6 cylinder diesel).
Upcycling is everywhere, even when it comes to costal vessels, and the future for this particular vessel looks very bright as it is going to be turned into a luxury yacht / diving vessel. Personally I couldn't think of a cooler retirement plan for an old workhorse like the M/S Vestkysten.
Enjoy the images. :)

New Holland asked me if I would like to write a children's book on how the country is run – there hadn't been one written for 30 years. I said yes, of course.
While I was in Wellington I took the opportunity to visit Parliament buildings. The guides showed us the debating chamber, select committee room and where the Governor General and Queen sit on the throne. The artwork was stunning throughout the buildings but the best part was downstairs – the engine room – where you could see how they'd made the government buildings earthquake safe.
The librarians were helpful giving me newspaper articles and books to read so I could begin my research.
We had several Parliamentary people check the manuscript and then it was off to the printers!


Southern New Hampshire University's (SNHU) School of Arts and Science presented a Saudi Arabian movie, Wadjda in Dec. 7 at the Walker Auditorium.
Vanessa Rocco, assistant professor of art history, and Deborah Varat, the chair professor at the Department of Art and Science, hosted the event.
A good amount of undergraduate and graduate students came to watch the movie. "They have generally increased in attendance over the last three years. I think it is safe to say that last night was the most successful single film in the series that I can recall. We believe there were approximately 60-70 people in attendance," said Rocco.
In Saudi Arabia, three dominant factors, the legal, the social and the economic influenced the current situation of Saudi women. The Saudi law requires women to follow the Sharia/Islamic law, which has two main sources, Qur'an and Sunnah (the practices and ways of Prophet Mohammad's life), maintain socially conservative and work at the low level jobs.
Haifaa Al-Mansour is the first female film director who portrays the gender struggle in Saudi Arabia through her first movie, Wadjda.
Wadjda is a 10-year-old girl, living in Riyadh, the capital city, with her mother. Her father wants to leave her mother for a second wife. On the other hand, Wadjda tries to find a way to experience freedom.
The movie ended with a brief discussion. Students shared their opinions on what they thought about the movie. "I thought the movie brought to light a lot of the restrictions that women have in many parts of Saudi Arabia. I really liked how simple the story line was, but was also intense bringing up serious issues that women face, not just in Saudi Arabia but other countries as well," said senior Emily Shupp.
"I was especially pleased that approximately ten students raised their hands when I asked about what made Wadjda "relatable" to us despite being from a very different culture," said Rocco.
The School of Arts and Sciences will continue the film series for the spring semester as well. "This is not the last film we show you, we are going to have our film series for the spring semester, too," said Rocco.


Can I tell you a secret? I think we have that sort of rapport, don't we? Here's my secret: sometimes I feel lost and scared. In the last few weeks I have felt those things acutely.
And yet I hear the whispers of Jesus saying to me, "Do not be afraid, for I am with you." I want so much to trust in Jesus' promise that he is with me, and that fear does not have a hold on me. So I am trying to hold onto Jesus. I am trying to receive his presence with me in my lostness. And I am trying to let him guide me.
These are the anchors of the faith life with Jesus. Love God and love people. When I am exhausted or confused, the simplicity of these commands help me to stay the course with Jesus. In loving God and loving people, we can be sure that we are staying yoked to him.
I find it necessary to be asking for God's help on a daily basis these days. So I ask him questions, like, "How do you want me to spend my day today?" and "What do you want me to know right now?" The questions are simple and immediate. When I am lost, I am more desperate for a live, real-time conversation with God. Creating Listening Space is so important as we lean into God.
When we get caught up in stress, good antidotes are slowing down and paying attention to the basic needs of our body, soul, and mind. Without the practice of good self-care, we may find ourselves on the verge of burnout. So I am practicing self-care. Here's a simple list of 20 Self-Care Activities For Your Health and Well-Being.
Jesus is with us. He is mighty. He calms the storms and will not forsake us. Let us hold to those truths today.
What do you do when you feel a little lost? Please share in the comments.
Hey there, 2017! I welcome this new year with a lot of joy and anticipation.
Be present to God and people through listening.
Buy a home on Oahu.
Plant a thriving faith community.
Build a community for artists, writers, entrepreneurs, and anyone with a calling to create.
Continue guiding people into their God-given calling through spiritual direction, writing, and discipling.
In my reflections, I used a few questions to help me process and explore my goals and dreams. My guess is that those questions might be helpful to you. Feel free to use them as you reflect, journal, and pray.
1. What is your big goal or dream for this year?
What big thing do you want to accomplish or achieve this year? What dream fuels passion and hope in you? Is there a project or transformation you want to bring to fruition this year?
2. If you had no limits or fears, what do you want to give yourself permission to do, explore, or make space for this year?
There may be things you deeply want, but haven't yet given yourself permission to do. Honor yourself by giving yourself permission to live the life you want to live! Imagine a life without limits. What do you most deeply want to do this year?
3. What is God's invitation to you this year?
Make space to listen to God as you think about this year. What are his hopes and intentions for you? Is there an invitation or promise he is giving you? Allow yourself the space to pay attention to the Spirit's voice and guidance.
4. How do you want to show up this year?
What attitude and heart-qualities do you want as you enter into this year? Do you want to be compassionate, loving, brave, peace-filled, intentional, focused? You alone get to choose how you will enter today, this week, and this year. Decide how you want to show up.
5. What do you want more of this year? What do you want less of this year?
What is life-giving to you? What activities, people, and things fuel your joy? What is life-draining? What things do you want to let go of and say goodbye to?
6. How do you want to live out your God-given purpose this year?
You have a unique, God-given purpose. How do you want to live that out this year? What daily, weekly, and monthly habits will make the space you need to live out your purpose?
I hope this exercise helps you pursue and live out your dreams and purpose for the new year. Let's focus on the most essential things, intentionally show up, and give make space for whatever God has for you this year.
I pray that you would receive all that God has for you, and that you would live out your God-given calling in 2017.

Donald Trump vows to 'no longer deal with' UK's ambassador to US after memo leaks
Owen Bennett
Donald Trump has vowed to cut ties with the UK's ambassador to Washington after leaked memos showed the British diplomat branded the US president's administration as "inept" and "uniquely dysfunctional".
Leaked extracts from diplomatic telegrams were published by the Mail on Sunday, and chronicled Sir Kim Darroch's criticisms of the White House.
Theresa May says she has "full faith" in the ambassador, and has ordered a cross-government leak investigation.
Despite the best efforts of the British government, the diplomatic fallout intensified on Monday, with Trump taking to Twitter to launch an extraordinary attack on the outgoing Prime Minister and Darroch.
He said: "I have been very critical about the way the U.K. and Prime Minister Theresa May handled Brexit.
"What a mess she and her representatives have created.
"I told her how it should be done, but she decided to go another way.
"I do not know the Ambassador, but he is not liked or well thought of within the U.S. We will no longer deal with him.
"The good news for the wonderful United Kingdom is that they will soon have a new Prime Minister.
"While I thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent State Visit last month, it was the Queen who I was most impressed with!"
….thought of within the U.S. We will no longer deal with him. The good news for the wonderful United Kingdom is that they will soon have a new Prime Minister. While I thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent State Visit last month, it was the Queen who I was most impressed with!
Trump infamously told May she should threaten to sue the EU if Brussels were unwilling to meet her demands in the Brexit negotiations – advice she declined to act upon.
Downing Street is resisting calls to bring in the police to investigate the leaking of the sensitive memos, instead opting for a civil service led inquiry.
Senior Conservative MP Tom Tugendhat, chair of parliament's foreign affairs select committee, was not satisfied with that move, and in an urgent question in the Commons called for more serious action to be taken.
He said: "I have today written to the commissioner of the Metropolitan Police to ask that a criminal investigation also be opened into the leak.
"I have asked her for reassurance that all necessary resources will be made available to ensure that the source of this leak is determined as a priority."
Foreign office minister Sir Alan Duncan defended the decision to carry out a civil service led inquiry, but added: "If evidence of criminality is found, then yes, the police could be involved."
The leaks covered diplomatic telegrams and memos dating from 2017 to as recently as last month.
The notes would have been sent to civil servants and politicians in the UK.
Labour's shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry claimed that Darroch had been "betrayed" by whoever leaked the memos.
"He has been hung out to dry even though his only crime was to tell the truth," she said, adding: "He told the truth about Donald Trump, and that was because it was his job."
The leak of the diplomatic memos comes just weeks after the concerns of civil servants about Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's health were made public, and two months after Gavin Williamson was sacked as defence secretary after he was blamed for leaking from a National Security Council meeting.
Reflecting on this incidents, Tugendhat said: "I fear that we are developing a culture of leaks and that will be extremely detrimental to the UK. They damage our reputation, impact on our ability to function effectively and undermine our relationships with our allies."
The embarrassment of the leaks from Darroch's memos comes at a critical time for the UK's diplomatic service – which is engaged in a war of words with China over the actions of anti-Beijing protestors in the former UK colony of Hong Kong, as well as the ongoing Brexit uncertainty.

Britain gives scientists permission to genetically modify human embryos

Rachel Feltman
Freelancer, Editor at Popular Science Magazine
On Monday, Britain's Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority greenlighted experiments that will attempt to edit the genes of human embryos. The work, which will be the world's first officially approved use of public funding for human-genome editing, is to be led by The Francis Crick Institute's Kathy Niakan.
The news comes less than a year after the first reports of human-gene editing — published by Chinese scientists in the journal Protein and Cell — using the fantastic and at times troubling technology known as CRISPR. By harnessing an ancient defense mechanism built into bacteria, CRISPR allows scientists to target, delete and replace specific genes. It has been used extensively in other organisms, but research in humans has been slow.
Everything you need to know about why CRISPR is such a hot technology
The Chinese experiments reported last year were largely unsuccessful. Few of the embryos in the experiment were successfully modified, and even fewer had the changes that scientists intended to make. None of the embryos were gestated, and the authors of the study readily admitted that their error rate was too high for use on viable embryos.
But these scientists and others have continued working at the problem in the hopes of one day eliminating certain human illnesses. In the meantime, policymakers are beginning to chip away at the mountain of ethical quandaries that will certainly result from such a technology.
But Britain now has become the first country to approve the use of public funding for such research. In the United States, labs have to find private funding for any research that creates or destroys human embryos, and some lawmakers seek to ban it altogether. Even in China, where the first "successful" editing occurred, the guidelines are murky.
Control of CRISPR, biotech's most promising breakthrough, is in dispute
"China has guidelines, but it is often unclear exactly what they are until you've done it and stepped over an unclear boundary," Robin Lovell-Badge of the Francis Crick Institute told the BBC. "This is the first time it has gone through a properly regulatory system and been approved."
Niakan's approval only allows the study of embryos for 14 days at a time, and her lab will not attempt to implant the modified embryos into women. They hope to study the genetic changes that occur during the earliest stages of life, which could help improve in vitro fertilization techniques and prevent early miscarriages. The research will use donated embryos left over from IVF treatments, and will follow them only through the point in their development when they have about 250 cells.
How CRISPR could lead to a cure for muscular dystrophy
"Many of the women who make this donation have experienced being unable to have a child without artificial reproductive technology and make their donation altruistically with the hope of allowing others to benefit from improvements in knowledge and treatments," Alastair Kent, director of Genetic Alliance UK, said in a statement. Kent, who is not involved in the newly approved research, oversees 180 charities devoted to supporting people with genetic conditions. "We should acknowledge the contribution that embryo donors make to allow this research to happen," Kent said.
The University of Kent's Darren Griffin called the ruling "a triumph for common sense" in a statement, and Sarah Norcross, director of Progress Educational Trust, lauded the decision as "a victory for level-headed regulation over moral panic."
Niakan doesn't intend to make any edits that would create "designer babies" — embryos tailored to be free of disease or to posses desirable physical traits. But the work will help improve the use of CRISPR on the human genome, possibly making it easier for other researchers to use the technique to this end. Many argue that all research in this area can be considered a slippery slope toward modified, living humans. But there seems to be little question that Niakan's work could make valuable contributions to human health.

Apparel sponsorship is one of the smaller categories in sports (and elsewhere). Not because the industry isn't big business, but because of how big the business really is. There are two major players (as well as a couple brands aiming to get into that category) and several brands worldwide focusing on sport- or region-specific deals.
No surprises here: the top tier in apparel sponsorship is made up of megabrands Nike and Adidas. Some will consider Under Armour to be part of this group – we are not today, mostly owing to Nike and Adidas far more global reach. Though don't worry, you'll see more about Under Armour and fellow up-and-comer, the resurgent Puma, later on.
Nike and Adidas have made our top tier because most people we know own at least one item of clothing from these companies. This could be because those individuals like each brand's fit, fitness-wise, or because they're a fan of the brands' partners.
Often considered the preeminent sports apparel brand – especially considering its associations with respective sport GOATs like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Serena Williams and (formerly) Roger Federer – Nike has some of the most extensive relationships in the sports apparel sponsorship industry. Stateside, we pay perhaps most attention to Nike's deals in basketball and the NCAA. Worldwide, Nike has become a major player in the world's sport: football.
Prior to purchasing British brand Umbro (more detailed about Nike's later sale of the brand upcoming), Nike had a difficult time making inroads into the sport. That's difficult to believe when you now consider Nike's truly remarkable reach in the sport with top players, teams, and leagues.
Of the top leagues in the world (usually considered to be the English Premier League (EPL), France's Ligue 1, Spain's La Liga, Italy's Serie A, and Germany's Bundesliga), Nike has been affiliated with the EPL, La Liga and Serie A. The brand's partnership with the EPL has lasted over ten years as the Official Ball Supplier. While this designation is markedly different from an apparel sponsorship, league affiliations do have a tendency to produce trends amongst teams within the league.
Some of these teams have breathtaking contracts. Last year, PSG signed an extension with Nike worth around £60 million per season until 2027. The previous deal was not set to expire until 2022, but featured a much lower price tag at only(!) £25 million per season. The team chose to renegotiate based on Chelsea's £62 million and Manchester United's £100 million per season; though Manchester United's deal is with Adidas. PSG can also earn a bonus if the team wins the UEFA Champions League.
Chelsea's £60 million+ deal more than doubled the club's previous contract with rival Adidas. It is noted this deal is particularly impressive as it was signed in the aftermath of Chelsea's failure to qualify for Champions League play. However, do consider Chelsea has been in the top 3 on the EPL table in four of the past five full seasons, winning twice (in 16/17 and 14/15), and is currently sitting fifth this year.
Monaco's current season not withstanding, when table results are averaged, none of these teams have an average ranking above fifth. This is especially relevant when you consider continental league berths: the top teams (usually two or three) qualify automatically for the UEFA Champions League (UCL) group stage, with those just below either qualifying for a spot in a UCL play-off or into the UEFA Europa League (UEL). Extra play means extra eyes on those kits, which is why these top teams command the euros they do.
Like the brand's strategy with teams, Nike also doggedly recruits top players to partner. These include international stalwarts like Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal, Juventus) and Neymar (Brazil, PSG), but also breakout individuals like Blaise Matuidi (France, Juventus) and Kylian Mbappe (France, PSG). Ronaldo, on a lifetime contract, generates about $216 million in value for Nike annually, while details for Neymar typically generates more than $100 million annually (for all sponsors, including Nike) through his endorsement activities.
Nike has two major league or governing body level deals in the sport of basketball, perhaps the brand's best known affinity in the United States (and certainly one of the sports that launched it into the superstardom it enjoys today). These deals are with the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the International Basketball Federation (FIBA). Both deals began in 2017 (though the NBA's deal was signed in 2015). The NBA's signing with Nike was a direct consequence of Adidas' announcement its intention not to seek contract extension with the league.
Both deals were fairly long-term, the NBA deal was an eight year term while FIBA signed an 11-year contract (through 2027). Both deals included prominent branding opportunities – including jerseys for the NBA deal (which was not the case for the previous partner) – for the Nike "swoosh". Perhaps the greatest benefit to the FIBA sponsorship is the wide variety of events the partnership will cover; it covers rights at the Men's and Women's FIBA competitions (including World Cups, Continental Cups, and Olympic Qualifying Tournaments) for the entire partnership period. The NBA deal was estimated (though not confirmed) to be around $1 billion annually.
This is another category where Nike favors (extraordinarily) long-term deals. One comes to mind immediately: Nike is signed on with USA Track & Field until 2040. An astounding 23-year extension was signed in 2014. This deal keeps Nike as the team's official apparel sponsor at both World Championships and the Olympics until 2040. Exact terms weren't released, but it was estimated the new deal was worth between $450-500 million (completely obliterating the previous deal signed in 2009 for the period until 2017, worth "only" $10 million per year in cash and goods).
Two female GOATs (and to be clear, we're not specifying the gender to say these women are female GOATs, just that they're GOATs who happen to be female) have deals with Nike. These dominant women are Simone Biles (gymnastics) and Serena Williams (tennis). Serena originally signed on with Nike in 2003 after a previous partnership with Puma. This partnership has been going strong ever since, with Nike providing some of Williams' most memorable ensembles in 2018 (the unfortunately controversial French Open catsuit and the US Open tutu). Williams' partnership began with a five year deal and three year option, and has been extended since.
Meanwhile, 2016 Olympic champion and multiple World champion Simone Biles signed on with Nike in 2015. At that point, she wasn't an Olympic champion, but she was a pretty sure bet: she'd won multiple medals at each World Championships in 2013-2015, including repeating as the All-Around gold medallist.
The brands been in competition with Adidas, and more recently, Under Armour, for the largest deal in the market. While that spot is currently held by Under Armour and UCLA (more of those terms discussed later), it's definitely been a close race – and an ever-changing one monetarily. As recently as 2010, the largest contract overall was Adidas' with Michigan for $66.5 million over eight years. Nike's largest contract at the time was with Alabama for an eight year term work $30 million.
While Nike may have made inroads in game ball sponsorship, Adidas remains far ahead. Nike holds deals with the EPL, Serie A, and La Liga, but Adidas balls can be seen on the pitch at the largest tournament in the world: the FIFA World Cup. These tournaments are in addition to the brand's league partnerships with the UEFA Champions League, USA's Major League Soccer (MLS), Argentina's Superliga and Primera Division, the Japanese J League, Germany's Bundesliga, and until recently France's Ligue 1 (this league has since switched to Uhlsport for game balls). Adidas' deal with the MLS was valued around $700 million for a six year term.
Perhaps Adidas' greatest chance to assert dominance over Nike in the soccer sphere is through the brand's official sponsorships of both FIFA and UEFA. First signing on for the 1998 France World Cup, the partners celebrated the twenty year anniversary at this year's World Cup in Russia. Adidas' was probably one of FIFA's favorite gifts, with an investment between $96-$176 million for this year's tournament. In addition to the game ball, Adidas logos are featured on referee uniforms. Most importantly, Adidas benefits from FIFA's exclusivity efforts. Though this linked case demonstrates FIFA protecting Nike and Coca-Cola, the fact remains FIFA was completely willing to levy fines on behalf of sponsors. Adidas is signed with FIFA through 2030.
The deal with UEFA Champions League is currently shorter term and scheduled to expire in 2021. The last contract covered the '18-'21 cycle. Adidas also provided the game balls at the most recent UEFA EUROs tournament in 2016, though a 2020 provider appears to be uncertain. We would usually expect to see an Adidas ball at the 2020 EUROs, but with the UEFA Europa League's recent switch to the Molten brand, the situation is not clear cut. EUROs operates on the same cycle as the Summer Olympics; the next tournament will be June 12 – July 12, 2020 with the Olympics following from July 24 – August 9, so we should find out the game ball provider soon.
While the brand has also signed on with several other teams in each league, these represent the top ranked teams working with Adidas. On average, only one of these teams have an average table ranking of above 3.33 - and that team is Manchester United, a team with so much global appeal it doesn't matter.
However, Adidas' other teams in these leagues aren't at as high of a standard as those signed with Nike. Particularly troubling at the moment is Adidas' place in La Liga as Real Madrid struggles since Cristiano Ronaldo's departure for Juventus.
Adidas has usually had successful deals with national teams playing in the Olympic Games or FIFA World Cup. While the brand did not sponsor either of the two teams in this year's World Cup Final, several teams did make it past the group stage, including Japan (Round of 16), Spain (Round of 16), Argentina (Round of 16), Colombia (Round of 16), Russia (Quarterfinals), Sweden (Quarterfinals), and Belgium (Semifinals). Other teams aligned with Adidas included Germany, Mexico, Egypt, and Morocco. Most Adidas teams are signed through the next World Cup in Qatar in 2022.
While Adidas has a larger foothold in soccer than any other sport, the brand works with top-class athletes across the spectrum.
Also very visible for Adidas are its partnerships in tennis, where it is often tradition for apparel brands to release its season and Grand Slam kits for both top and other sponsored players. Top ranked players working with Adidas include Dominic Thiem and Alexander Zverev on the men's side and Naomi Osaka, Caroline Wozniacki, and Garbine Muguruza on the women's.
One of the brand's few gymnastics deal is with British Olympic medalist Nile Wilson. While we haven't been able to find more information on this contract with Wilson, it's a good one for the sport. Wilson is also a vlogger and has over 1 million subscribers on his YouTube channel. Not bad at all.
In our last sports category for Adidas, the brand was a partner for the 2012 Olympic Games held in London. At the time, this partnership was worth just over $200 million. With the 2024 Games coming up in Paris, we'll be watching closely if another partnership (and at what cost) will be struck. This year's Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, partnered with The North Face (fitting for a Winter Games).
Three performers who have or have had highly visible deals with Adidas include Justin Bieber, Kanye West, and Pharrell Williams.
These brands, while not yet or currently at the level of a Nike or Adidas, are aiming to get to that level. These brands are specifically targeting teams, leagues, players, and others immediately available and in-line with company values or goals. The two we explore in this category are Under Armour and Puma.
Under Armour, like Nike, is an American brand. It's newer than Nike, which can perhaps explain its still-growing global market. Many of its partnerships – with the exception of a few – are with quintessentially or primarily American sports leagues, teams, or athletes.
UCLA and Under Armour's partnership is currently the most lucrative in the NCAA. It is $280 million payed out over 15 years, beating Nike's top deal with Ohio State by almost $30 million. Unlike Nike and Adidas, this UCLA deal is Under Armour's only one in the top six for the NCAA (Nike has three and Adidas two). Under Armour does, however, have deals with several very visible schools including Auburn, South Carolina, Notre Dame, and Wisconsin.
In the world of American professional sports, Under Armour is involved with three mainstream entities. After trying out NASCAR on a single-year deal, the brand signed on in 2014 with Hendrick Motorsports and Michael Waltrip Racing. This deal didn't include the drivers, but it did give UA the ability to use likenesses, cars, and numbers for the team members. The brand also outfitted other people involved, from the pits to the office.
Additionally, Under Armour supplies footwear and gloves for the NFL, as well as official headwear and performance apparel provider for its Scouting Combine. UA is the Official Performance Footwear Supplier for the MLB and an official partner and title sponsor for the NBA Draft Combine.
On the amateur side, UA has a current deal with Ripken Baseball, signed in 2014. The brand previously had a deal with USA Gymnastics, but cancelled that partnership late last year following the Larry Nassar allegations and subsequent indictment. That contract was intended to run until the 2020 Olympics. Under Armour was not the only brand to vacate partnership with USAG at the time; many long-term partners either let their deals expire or cancelled their partnerships.
Current Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry started his NBA career as a Nike man, only signing on with Under Armour in 2013. Think back: this was before the Warriors three titles, and not so far removed from the team middling in mediocrity, not to mention Curry's own injury history. However, follownig that breakout season, Under Armour offered Curry the chance to be THE guy at the brand, rather than one of Nike's stable of stars.
Like Adidas, Under Armour has also began forging entertainment partnerships. One of the brand's most prominent is with the artist known as A$AP Rocky. The two are collaborating on a line of clothing.
Across the pond, Under Armour has managed a few deals, most notably with Olympic champions Anthony Joshua (boxing) and Andy Murray (tennis). Under Armour also has one team in the EPL: Southampton FC (currently ranked 16th in the EPL).
Often known (fairly or unfairly, depending on who you talk to) as the little brother to Adidas, Puma has nonetheless carved out its spot in several sports as an in-demand shoe and apparel sponsor.
Following (or leading up to, as the case may be) this year's NBA Draft, the shoe sponsor everyone was talking about wasn't those mentioned previously. It was Puma. Three highly-touted rookies were going to enter the NBA not with Nike, Adidas, or Under Armour, but but Puma. These players included Arizona's Deandre Ayton (drafted by the Phoenix Suns), Duke's Marvin Bagley III (Sacramento Kings), and Missouri's Michael Porter Jr (Denver Nuggets). Ayton's deal is for four years and includes both shoe and apparel endorsements, while Bagley's was a five year contract.
These rookie deals kickstarted a renewed focus on basketball at Puma, which also renewed with Hall of Famer Walt Frazier, who launched the brand's first signature basketball shoe in 1973. Meanwhile, Puma is going beyond players as the new sponsor of The Basketball Tournament. This event is a star-studded basketball event worth a cool $2 million to the winning team (which feature former college and NBA players as well as international players). Puma is now the official apparel and footwear sponsor for the tournament.
Just north, Puma made another deal in the Caribbean – this time with the Cuban Olympic Committee. The brand outfitted Cuban athletes at both the 2015 Pan American Games (held in Toronto) and the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. This deal came about following Puma's previous contracts with Cuban national sport governing bodies, particularly boxing and volleyball.
Two high-profile players have recently switched to Puma from rival Adidas: Luis Suarez (Argentina, FC Barcelona) and David Silva (Spain, Manchester City). Suarez was with Adidas for more than ten years, but took a deal with Puma worth £1 million annually. He played sans brand over the summer. Silva's deal came amid speculation his team (and related teams) would also be switching as well.
Similarly, Serie A's AC Milan did the same switch. Interestingly, the team's deal with Puma is initially worth about €8 million less than its previous deal with Adidas, but has built-in bonuses that will allow the team to make up the difference.
One deal outside the norm for Puma is it's contract with the Houston Texan's Jadeveon Clowney, signed (like the deals in the NBA this year) just prior to the NFL Draft. While Puma doesn't have other high-profile NFL signees like this one, Clowney was brought on to enhance the brand's place in the US market.
Asics is a brand with a portfolio of important deals in specific sports for specific markets. Major sports of interest include tennis, rugby, cricket, and athletics. Each of these sports, while reaching and engaging wide a global market, usually only do so at specific times of year. This is in contrast to a sport like soccer or the NFL, both of which can manage to make the headlines in the offseason.
Primarily focusing upon governing bodies, Asics has several noteworthy deals. First, with the International Association of Athletics Federations, in a deal the brand took over from IAAF's previous partner Adidas. This deal was reached in 2016. Moving down to the country level, Asics has two major current deals as well as one cancelled earlier this year. The two current deals with the South African Rugby Union and Australian Rugby will likely result in decent exposure (if not Stateside) during next year's Rugby World Cup in Japan. Cancelled earlier this year was Asics' contract with Cricket Australia following the ball tampering scandal.
While Asics also runs programs with players in the sports mentioned above, the brand also has a highly visible player contract in tennis. Four times a year, this player is guaranteed to be a Grand Slam favorite: Novak Djokovic. While not wearing Asics apparel (he recently switched to Lacoste from Uniqlo), he does sport Asics shoes while on court. Asics has a history of working with tennis players switching from smaller brands; French player Gael Monfils also worked with Asics after his deal with KSWISS expired.
New Balance approaches its sponsorship deals through the middle ground when comparing Asics and Tier 1 or up and coming brands. While it has deals with lesser-publicized sports or teams, it balances that effort with a few target contracts in the visible leagues.
In 2015, New Balance made its first foray into premier European soccer by signing deals with two EPL teams (Liverpool and Stoke City), as well as Porto and Sevilla on the continent. This past year, the brand's investment into Liverpool paid off extraordinarily well as the team made the Champions League final against Real Madrid, giving New Balance about 200 million eyes on its classic NB logo on LFC's kits.
During the final year of Adidas' contract with the England and Wales Cricket Board, reports surfaced (correctly, it turned out) that New Balance would be succeeding the German brand as the contract expired. This was in the months following Adidas' gigantic deal with Manchester United, and also resulted in New Balance being able to offer ECB about £1 million more per year than its previous contract. Also in cricket, New Balance is affiliated with Cricket South Africa (CSA) on a national level, and English players Joe Root, Ben Stokes, and Mark Wood. With CSA, the two are in the middle of a five-year partnership, currently expiring in 2020.
Remaining higher-profile deals for New Balance fall into a wide spectrum: endorsement deals with top-20 (career high ranking #3) ATP player Milos Raonic and NBA player Gordon Hayward, and an apparel sponsorship of the Olympic Council of Ireland.
Several brands - even if each offers a wide variety of sporting apparel - concentrate their sponsorship dollars on one or two sports where they feel that money can make a bigger impact. Often this sport is soccer, but we will see a few brands go beyond that sport as well.
Fila is a brand primarily concentrating on one segment: tennis. You'll see a few deal that fall outside the sport, but really give the impression of one-offs rather than expansion efforts.
Fila has long been in the tennis business, but that hasn't guaranteed the brand the top players. Two players who reached the top of their games and have deals with Fila include are two Balkan players: former World #1 Jelena Jankovic and US Open champion Marin Cilic. Jankovic signed on with Fila in 2012, while Cilic came (back) four years later in 2016. Cilic had signed with Fila as junior player but while playing on the main circuit was associated with Li Ning.
Other notable players on Fila's roster include American Sam Querrey and Australian Ashleigh Barty. While Sam Querrey has been a reliably seeded players at Grand Slams for the last several years, Ashleigh Barty really started rising in the rankings just last year.
The most recent notable signing with Fila was Leo Borg, the son of champion Bjorn Borg. The elder Borg reinstated his relationship with the brand, while it was agreed the younger Borg would begin advertising duties next year.
Fila also previously had a deal with the Sony Ericcson Open (which is now affiliated with Lacoste as the Miami Open) and Wimbledon.
Outside the US, the brand has a relationship with the Argentine Tennis Association. This deal includes outfitting both Davis Cup and Fed Cup teams – ideal for the AAT as the Davis Cup teams will usually include top player Juan Martin del Potro.
Fila has two unusual deals – we're using unusual here in recognition of these deals falling outside of tennis – with the Netherlands Olympic Committee and Grant Hill, a celebrated former NBA player.
The Netherlands Olympic Committee partnered with Fila in 2017 to begin outfitting its teams. This deal is scheduled to run until 2022 (ending the Winter Games cycle in Beijing). Like Puma's deal with the Cuba Olympic Committee, Fila was previously affiliated with a sport-specific federation, in this case the Royal Dutch Skating Federation. That affiliation began in 2014.
And just last month Fila resigned with former NBA player Grant Hill. Hill had signed with Fila during his days as a player, and following his Hall of Fame induction, resigned to a lifetime deal. Probably not a bad day for him at all. However, this deal is not seen as a foray in to basketball but as an easy launch into the retro business.
Tied for third place in proportion of EPL teams sponsored is Umbro at 15%. The three teams are Bournemouth, Everton, and West Ham United. Bournemouth switched to Umbro for the 2017/2018 season from JD. Nike sold this brand in 2012 (at a loss after purchasing in 2007), but during its time under the Nike umbrella, Umbro had a lucrative partnership with the English Football Association supplying kits for all of Club England's 23 teams. Umbro also supported England's bid for the 2018 FIFA World Cup (which, as you may have noticed, they lost to Russia). That deal was worth $1.44 million, which seems reasonable considering it was signed during the candidate stage of a bid.
Umbro also had a deal with the Football Association of Ireland, signed in 2010 on a ten-year term. At the time, it was valued at €25.6 million with potential performance bonuses that could raise the value just under €10 million more.
Two brands, though with a visible football presence, also have notable deals outside the sport. These two brands are Danish brand Hummel and the Italian brand Errea. While Hummel primarily concentrates on football and handball, Errea has a diverse portfolio in other Olympic sports including volleyball, basketball, rugby, archery, and others outside football. Both primarily operate sponsorship in Europe though retail globally.
Though previously a sponsor of globally branded teams like Real Madrid or Tottenham Hotspur, Hummel is no longer typically partnering with those types of teams. This is likely due to the extremely high fees associated with the deals those teams have been signing with Nike or Adidas. However, Hummel does have a presence in the market as a sponsor of Scottish Premiership team Rangers FC, as well as with Bundesliga's SC Freiburg and J1's V-Varen Nagasaki. The Rangers deal is estimated to be worth £10 million until 2020/21. The team is switching from Puma.
Additionally, Hummel is the kit sponsor of both the Danish and Afghan national football teams. Its current deal with the Danish Football Association runs through 2024. For a Danish brand and a Danish governing body, these two have an interesting history; Hummel first partnered with the DBU from 1979-2004 only resigning after a contract with Adidas in 2016.
Hummel also works with athletes directly. One of the brand's more heartwarming partnerships is with Khalida Popal, the former face of Afghani women's football, who now lives in Denmark. The brand is prominent in the world of handball, working with Mikkel Hansen, Daniel Narcisse, Paul Drux and Victor Tomás.
One of the most talked teams at this year's World Cup first-timer Iceland. The only team in the tournament with the Italian brand as kit sponsor, CBS Sports gave the kits a solid middle-of-the-pack ranking. And while Iceland didn't make it out of the group stage, they did draw with Argentina. The partnership between the team and the brand began in 2002 – way before the team was in the spotlight. It's scheduled to expire in 2020, but it's definitely been worth the money for Errea. Just in the past two years, Iceland defeated England to make the quarterfinals at the 2016 UEFA EUROs and qualified for the World Cup for the first time. Also outfitted by Errea is the Ethiopian national football teams. That four-year deal also expires in 2020.
Errea also works with a few teams in the European football leagues, though only one in the top category. These include Norwich City FC (currently 1st in the EFL Championship) Queen's Park Rangers (10th in EFL Championship), Pescara (2nd in Serie B), and Parma (11th in Serie A).
Interestingly enough, as we just discussed Danish brand Hummel, Errea signed a deal with the Danish national teams in volleyball in 2014. At that point, the teams had been wearing Errea for three years already. The partnership was scheduled to end last year, and we haven't found a source detailing where the governing body went after that point.
Last Week Today: Break for Thanksgiving?


I'm probably late to this party, but spoonflower fabrics? I can't stop staring at their stuff with allllll the heart-eye emojis. It's a site where you can design your own fabric to be printed, or purchase any of the gorgeous fabrics already designed by talented users of the site -- and purchase any print in any type of fabric you want. I'm dreaming of all the knits for making one hundred totally unnecessary baby clothes. Can't do it, because they're a teensy bit pricy, but I can dream! I'm particularly fond of this one at the moment.
How Spelling Keeps Kids From Learning. An interesting read, particularly for parents or educationally-minded folks.
The new Lily Jade navy blue diaper bag. I've been eyeing bags from this company for a couple of years now. They're diaper bags that don't look like diaper bags, so, win-win, am I right?! And this newest release might have bumped my previous contenders for favorite out of the running. Of course, fortunately for me and my ever-changing mind, I don't seem to be at any risk of affording an almost-two-hundred-dollar bag anytime soon, so I can just keep window shopping and dreaming. Browser shopping? Multiple-tab shopping? What is the internet equivalent of window shopping, anyway?
I thought this post from a wonderfully witty blog, Preventing Grace, was quite good. Marriage: Try to be a Nicer Person. Maybe I just resonated with it in particular; I tend to have a "Where I come from, Bucko, you just stiff upper lip and carry on!" approach to illness that I don't think is Nathan's favorite quality of mine. Aaaaand I just so happen to be laid up super sick in bed right now with the flu, and what do you know, but if that husband of mine isn't cheerfully taking care of our kids and being so nice? He deserves an award.
And finally, for those of you not living it, this provides some good pictures of the kind of weather we've been dealing with here in the Boston area. So so so fun. Nell wanted to go build a snowman the other day, so we bundled her up, amidst my warnings to Nathan that it would take longer to get the kids dressed than the amount of time they would actually want to spend outside. Mama knows! Within thirty seconds Nell was wailing and Ree was gasping for air in the windy chill. So, actually, not fun. Maybe if we could have some nice temps in the 30's, and snow you could actually walk through? That would be nice.

Review: Oliver Laric's Kopienkritik at Skulpturhalle Basel
By Karen Archey
Kopienkritik, German artist Oliver Laric's summer solo project at the Skulpturhalle Basel, waxes upon the politics of the reproduction of images while drawing upon the Swiss museum's collection of plaster cast copies of sculptures from classical antiquity. Laric collaborated with the museum's staff to reinstall and arrange their collection of casts, interspersing his own sculptures and video works shown on monitors and projectors throughout the museum. That Kopienkritik largely comprises works of art not created by but rearranged by Laric calls into question the functionality of the artist as not a maker of things, but a producer of ideas. Kopienkritik ("copy criticism") is the process of analyzing copies of classic sculptures —typically Roman reproductions of lost Greek versions — to arrive at a greater understanding of the originals. Within the art history community, the practice is seen as a last-ditch way to study ancient Greek sculpture — and one bearing many discontents. For example, ancient Greek sculptor Polykleitos, active in the 5th and early 4th century BCE, made major contributions to sculptural practice with his "invention" of contrapposto, but as his works are all lost they may only be studied and understood through lesser-quality Roman copies. To illustrate this principle, Laric grouped sculptures together similar in appearance and posture, creating visible aesthetic lineages between each work. These groupings are put into a theoretical framework by Laric's essay-video Versions, projected onto two similar plaster casts in the Skulpturhalle installation, the video attempting to fast forward discussions surrounding the authenticity and proliferation of images to an internet-sensitive context. Curiously, also on display in Basel is Mexico City-based artist Francis Alÿs' collection of other artists' portraits of the lesser-known saint Fabiola, the patron of nurses (having built the first hospitals in Rome) and of disenfranchised women and divorcees (having become an ascetic Mother Theresa-type after leaving an abusive marriage). Each piece in the massive collection centers around a now lost late 19th century painting by French artist Jean-Jacques Henner imagining Saint Fabiola as a beautiful young woman donning a red cape. The 300 copies, ranging from paintings to embroideries, function in a similar way to that of Laric's ancient plaster copies: they all effectively inform a more skilled, academic original version which is now lost and exalted by society. Importantly, both collections are meant to be taken as a whole, or a sum greater than its parts, with little heed paid to the identities of the artists or autonomy of their constituent art works. Thus, the works included in the exhibition are pawns in a larger game, or words strewn together to create sentence nearly divorced from their original meaning. While there is some room for artistic freedom in the copies presented in Alÿs' presentation—depictions of Fabiola range in age, hair color, and medium— there's little artistic license found in Laric's arrangements of plaster casts: the copy is supposed to appear as "true to form" as possible. Such a subtlety points to the variations in Laric and Alÿs' impetus to produce artistic meaning through the rearranging of artworks. Alÿs illustrates the irony of collectively shared feelings of marginalization obsessively expressed through self-made kitsch. Laric highlights the still-pervasive authority of the "original," underscoring the lack of innovation in each successive copy of the Greek sculpture while couching it in modern art historical rhetoric surrounding the study of classic sculpture. Also informing his collection is Laric's long-held interest in the infrastructure of the internet. Perhaps in a contemporary setting, Laric's assemblages could be seen as a form of crowd-sourcing information similar to infrastructure of many Web 2.0 platforms. Here, authority and informational integrity is rendered not by totemic truths, but by populism—like the function of Wikipedia, truth is conferred not by what a subject is, but what most people think it is. Beyond this, Laric signals that the politics of identifying where substance and truth lies in interacting with our increasingly complex world is age-old question with no plain answer.

In its ideal form crowd-sourcing works like the 12 person jury–everyone has some insight or observation to contribute, regardless of their authority or expertise. The plaster casts aren't meant to constitute a collective wisdom. As you say they are considered second best. Once they've served their purpose as a learning aid they mostly just take up space. Merely aggregating them in a gallery doesn't make them crowdsourcing. Projecting the "Versions" video on the plaster casts would seem to be about redundancy and superfluity, then and now. Either way, it's making kind of a strained connection between the artist's video work and the sculptures–literally projecting present day attitudes and values onto the past.

Forty years ago, a mysterious weapon disappeared in the jungles of Vietnam. Now a notoriously ruthless band of Somali pirates has found it and is threatening to sell it to Middle-Eastern terrorists. The CIA, desperate to retrieve the weapon and even more anxious to keep Washington out of it, recruits Team Whiskey, a group of former U.S. military men-turned-pirate hunters, to do their dirty work.
From a secret pirate lair in the Indian Ocean to the most exclusive casino in Monte Carlo, Snake Nolan and his resourceful men have the fight of their lives on their hands as they race against time to reclaim the deadly weapon before it falls into the wrong hands.
Just when they think the stakes can go no higher, they realize that their quarry is headed for New York City, on a suicide mission that will make the 9-11 attacks look like mere prologue to a catastrophe of unprecedented destruction.


There is scientific agreement that activities such as burning fossil fuels and changes in land use have already caused an increase in levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and impacted the climate system. At a local level, this is resulting in trends of weather patterns that are more variable, with more frequent extremes.
Increased disruption, given that even minor incidents test the capacity of our infrastructure today and climate change is likely to exacerbate this.
Stresses on woodlands and forest resources, via water stress and pests and diseases.
Changes in growing conditions such as warmer, longer growing seasons may make new crops more viable, as well as making existing ones less viable.
Impact on biodiversity of habitats and species which are valued for the services they provide such as water and air purification, as well as their intrinsic value.
Public services must be proactive in understanding the implications of climate change and planning for more resilient services, communities and infrastructure. Businesses are also taking action to ensure their continued viability and competitiveness.
Many activities are underway to better prepare the council and Surrey communities, in relation to risks from climate change. These including our role as Lead Local Flood Authority for Surrey.

PHOTO REPORT: The Fair Food movement takes Austin stage by storm during Together Live Tour!
Posted on October 10, 2017 October 16, 2020 by Coalition of Immokalee Workers
An audience of over 3,000 Texans rise to their feet to applaud CIW's Lupe Gonzalo as she walks on to the stage during the 2017 Together Live tour stop in Austin.
Standing ovation greets CIW's Lupe Gonzalo on the Bass Concert Hall Stage in the Lone Star State…
Today, we bring you a quick photo update from the Together Live Tour, the whirlwind event headlined by Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach, Luvvie Ajayi, and other inspiring speakers — including the CIW's own Lupe Gonzalo — that is inspiring and mobilizing thousands of women from coast to coast.
Last week, as farmworkers in Vermont were signing a groundbreaking agreement with Ben & Jerry's to bring human rights to Vermont's dairy industry, the Together team arrived in Austin, Texas. The star-filled line up packed all three levels of the Bass Concert Hall on the University of Texas's sprawling campus in the heart of town. Once again, Glennon, Abby, and Luvvie, as well as new magnificent guest speakers like Alexis Jones, opened up the event, alternately spurring roars of laughter and bringing the audience to tears with their stories.
New York Times bestselling author Glennon Doyle introduces the CIW
When the Fair Food moment rolled around, the CIW Women's Group appeared via video on the big screen with a powerful message for the audience. Today, we have the beautiful video itself to share, featuring the women of Immokalee and their call to action to end sexual violence in the fields:
Following the powerful words of her fellow farmworkers, Lupe took the stage and was once again — as in San Jose and Phoenix — received with the first of two standing ovations as she arrived to deliver her message to the energized audience: Sexual violence has plagued farmworker women for too long — and it is time for us to bring an end to it, once and for all.
Now three tour stops in, one thing is clear: Lupe's invitation to the audience at the end of her time on stage — the invitation to become a part of the movement to uproot sexual violence from the fields of U.S. agriculture, not only along the East Coast, but across the entire country — will not go unanswered. After the curtains dropped and the event came to a close, hundreds of participants sought out the CIW's brightly-colored table, leaning in for a quick hug, thanking Lupe for opening their eyes to an endemic and under-reported human rights crisis right in our back yard, and asking eagerly where they could sign up to take action.
And take action they did. After being shocked to learn of Wendy's refusal to join the Fair Food Program and do its part to help eradicate sexual violence for women in its supply chain, new Fair Food Sisters grabbed postcards and flyers by the handful from the CIW's table, and flooded the CIW's email inboxes with one question: What is the next step? Because this, clearly, is just the beginning.
Stay tuned for more news from the Together Live trail in the weeks ahead as the tour crew heads to Washington DC, Chicago, Nashville, Minneapolis, and Philadelphia!
Ben & Jerry's CEO: "It's an agreement that puts the worker in charge of workers' rights."
Farmworker women to Wendy's CEO: "Sexual violence has been our daily bread for decades"…

Help4Ezra Donor Circle reaches 500 matches for patients in need of stem cell/marrow transplants
Jan 24, 2023 by Gift of Life News
Gift of Life is thrilled to share that the Help4Ezra Donor Circle has reached 500 matches for patients!
The Donor Circle was started in 2010 in support of Ezra Fineman, an 18-month-old born with Hyper IgM Syndrome, an immune system disorder that can only be cured by a blood stem cell or bone marrow transplant. The syndrome leads to infections the body cannot fight off, and typically results in a severely limited life expectancy. The transplant gives the patient a new, fully functioning immune system and the chance for a normal life.
Ezra received two transplants of blood stem cells, in 2012 and 2013, and began to recover. Today, he is a healthy 13-year-old and is attending middle school. His family continues to advocate for Gift of Life and organizations that support people with Hyper IGM Syndrome.
Through the donor circle, the Fineman family added 7,832 new donors to the registry. To date, this has resulted in an incredible 74 completed, lifesaving transplants.
"It has been an honor and privilege to help so many other patients in need of a lifesaving transplant," said Ezra's mother, Robin Fineman. "Yet, our work is not done, and it is our greatest hope that no parent will ever be told again that there is no matching donor for their child. All patients should have a second chance at a healthy life."
Congratulations to Ezra and the Fineman Family – you continue to have a positive impact. Thank you!


According to an April 4 filing with the state Employment Development Department, Wag will lay off 54 employees from its West Hollywood headquarters in June. The news follows a January filing that 38 staffers at Wag's 8000 Sunset Blvd. office would be laid off and the location permanently closed.
"Eliminating these positions was a difficult decision. We thank the affected employees for their many contributions and are offering outplacement support and allowing those in good standing to apply for other roles within the company," the company said in a statement.
The latest EDD filing indicates that the majority of the jobs cut will be in the dispatch sector, followed by "walker activation" workers and a handful of training and quality assurance staff.
The company was founded in 2014 and develops a mobile dog-walking application. It has raised $325 million in venture funding to date and operates its service in 43 states including California.
"Even as we close the office at 8000 Sunset Blvd., we're expanding our office footprint at 8560 Sunset Blvd., and we continue to hire in Los Angeles and elsewhere across several areas of our business," Wag added in its statement.


The historical UNESCO-listed town center of Český Krumlov is one of the most beautiful in Central Europe, and it is the picture-perfect postcard setting that makes it a magnet for photographers, and architectural and history buffs. Medieval and Renaissance burgher homes are delightfully huddled together around the twisting, hairpin bend of the Vltava River.
At its most central point, you will find the old town square, framed by stately buildings that surround the Plague Column and water fountain. During the winter you'll find the Christmas markets lined around the square, and in the summer it hosts a range of festivals and craft markets. Wander and explore the labyrinth of narrow cobblestone lanes and lose yourself in a different era.
When you visit Český Krumlov, the first thing that will surely catch your eye is the magnificent castle that dominates the town. Offering striking examples of Gothic and Renaissance architecture, its interior can be seen with a tour guide, allowing visitors to see how castle residents once lived.
The castle's unique theater, built in 1767, is also open for tours. As one of the only two remaining theaters from this era still preserved, it offers a unique and wonderful glimpse into the world of the 18th century.
Above the castle you can discover the Baroque gardens. Maybe the best part of a visit to the gardens is the walk to them, as you are rewarded with beautiful views of the historical town and the Vltava River below.
Český Krumlov is surrounded by green rolling hills, covered in forests, fields and pastures. Its idyllic locale makes the town a perfect hub from which to explore and enjoy the beautiful nature and historical gems of the Bohemian countryside. One of these historical sites lies just a short hike from the town center.
The Baroque Church of the Holy Cross sits on a hill above the town, providing an excellent opportunity to take photos of Český Krumlov nestled amidst the hills. Take a guided walk here with a local guide, or use our detailed directions in your Český Krumlov itinerary and venture there by yourselves.

European and Indian Standard for Automobile Emission – Explained!
PollutantsEffects on Human HealthEffects on the Natural Environment
Carbon monoxideCan affect the cardio-vascular system, exacer-bating cardiovascular disease symptoms, particularly angina; may also particularly affect foetuses, sickle cell anaemics and young children. Can affect the central nervous system, impairing physical coordination, vision and judgement, creating nausea and headaches, reducing worker productivity and increasing personal discomfort.
Nitrogen oxides (NOx)Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) can affect the respiratory system. Nitrogen monoxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), where they play a part in photochemical some formation, may contribute indirectly to increased susceptibility to infections, pulmonary disease, impairment of lung function and eye, nose and thread irritations.NO and NO2 can contribute significantly to acid deposition damaging aquatic ecosystems and other ecosystems such as forests NOx can also have a fertilising effect on forests.
Sulphur oxides (SO2)Sulphur dioxide (SO2) can affect lung function.Sulphur oxides can contribute significantly to acid deposition impairing aquatic and forest ecosystems. Sulphates can affect the perception of the environment by reducing visibility even at low concentrations.
Particulate matter (SPM and RPM)Fine particulate matter may be toxi in itself or may carry toxic (including carcinogenic) trace substance, and can alter the immune system. Fine particulate can penetrate deep into the respiratory system irritating lung tissue and causing long-term disorders.Fine particulate can significantly reduce visibility. High dust and soot levels are associated with a general perception of dirtiness of the environment.
LeadCan cause brain damage, encephalopathy in children resulting in lower IQ, deathy, hyperactivity and reduced ability to concentrate.
Automobile traffic is a dominant source of atmospheric pollution in urban areas all over the globe. It causes various physiological problems to the inhabitants. Therefore, perceptible concern for adverse environmental impact due to increase in automobile traffic aroused in early 1980's even in a developing country like India.
In developed countries like USA, UK, Australia and Canada, the awakening, about the possible environmental degradation due to automotive traffic, could arise during 1960's itself. Issues related to human environment were raised in 1972, at Stockholm.
In 1992, the representatives of over 150 countries met in Rio-de-Janeiro in Brazil to attend Earth Summit, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, which flashed out the concept of Sustainable Development in Agenda-21. Then, in August 2002, in Johannesburg, during the World Summit on Sustainable Development, the concern for environment was reiterated.
In India, judiciary has also played a very positive and action oriented role to curb the growing problem of air pollution in metropolitan cities. Article-48 of the Constitution of India directs the state to endeavour to protect and improve the environment.
In 1978, the judiciary added a new climax by recognising the fundamental right to live in a clean environment and to have environmental education and information. Judiciary has also evolved the concept of absolute liability in case of environmental pollution.
There are about 30 major enactments related to the protection of environment, which are now being administered by the Central and State Governments in India.
The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, is one of them. The Government of India has enacted the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, to provide integrated approach towards environmental issues in the country and also to plug loopholes in the existing acts.
Urban air environment has been receiving influxes of various pollutants from automobile exhaust. Consequently, it is deteriorated to such an extent that its adverse physiological effects on the health of exposed population have become glaringly visible.
To curb the growing menace of automobile exhaust pollution, a series of more and more stringent standards, specifying the limits on various pollutants like carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and Particulate Matter (PM), have evolved with the passage of time.
Implementation of these upgraded and stringent standards has led to significant reduction in the concentration of these pollutants in the automobile exhaust and consequently so in urban atmosphere. However, some aspects of the standardization require serious review to achieve further improvements in urban air quality.

Grace to You, the ministry of renowned pastor and Bible teacher John MacArthur, is graciously giving away Hardcover copies of MacArthur's book Safe in the Arms of God: Truth from Heaven About the Death of a Child.
If you have ever wanted biblical answers for what happens in the tragic cases of the death of young children, here is an excellent resource for you.
Please Note: This offer is only available for listeners in the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
This FREE offer is only available through 7/27.
This is the most important question a grieving parent can ask. And even if the little one is someone else's child, the issue remains: What happens to children those unborn, stillborn, or youngsters when they die? Can you hope to see them again? Can you let go of your fear and guilt? Can God's love soothe a wound so jagged?
With scriptural authority and the warmth of a pastor's heart, bestselling author John MacArthur examines the breadth of the entire Bible and reveals in this compelling book the Heavenly Father's care for every life.
We lost our only son at 3 days old and I also had 4 miscarriages, so I am very interested in what this book has o say. We are committed Christions and do believe he is is Heaven, but not sure about the babies we lost.


It's quite obvious that Chanel is using pearls to poke our addiction in this season and we're falling for it. Of course we mean falling in love. So you have the Chanel Pearl Wallet On chain Bag, which is a Chanel WOC adorned with pearls on chain and CC logo. And now we're introducing the Chanel Pearl Quilted WOC, which is another beauty from the Pre-Fall 2017 Collection.
We've seen a lot of pearl embellished handbags like the Westminster Bag and the Pearly Bag, but we've never seen a pearl quilted design before. The pearls are crafted not only in the front, but also on the top and the back. The bag is made in Velvet and it's a very luxurious and soft material. The classic color black enhances the white pearl's presence; creating a busy but elegant style. The interlocking CC logo is adorned with pearls as well, but they're much smaller and cuter. The WOC finishes with the classic woven chain strap for the ultimate lady look.
For those that are not familiar with Chanel WOCs, the interior is made with six credit card slots, central compartment for all your necessities and a zip pocket. Style code A84273, measuring 12.3 x 19.2 x 3.5 cm, priced at $2600 USD, £2210 GBP, €2665 euro, $3275 CAD, $21000 HKD, $4230 SGD, ¥315360 JPY, ¥20600 CNY via Chanel boutiques.
Well well, look what we found here. It sure looks like this Gucci Pearl Studded Padlock Bag came out straight from a fairytale book. It's that beautiful that we are 100% certain that Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Belle might be interested in bringing it to the royal ball.
A small structured chain shoulder bags that feature a key lock closure; this precious Gucci creation is the crème de la crème from all the other shoulder bags out there.
You might think you've seen this before but couldn't quite pinpoint out where, and we're here to break it up to you that yes, we've featured it before but this time around it comes with pearls and studs as an added embellishments.
A statement bag, the key lock closure is pulled straight from the archives while the key is placed in a leather key case. It also has a sliding chain strap therefore you can transform it from being a shoulder bag or a hand bag in an instant since the chains also act as a top handle.
This Gucci goody also has gold toned studs and glass GG Pearl studs, has an interior open pocket and one side gusset. What's more surprising is that it comes in three bold colors you can choose from: pink leather, hibiscus red leather and black leather.
Can we be 100% honest here? This Chanel Pearl Wallet On Chain Bag looks like the kind of bag that classic ladies such as Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, and Katharine Hepburn would be seen wearing.
You read that one right. This wallet on chain bag is so pretty that we couldn't contain our happiness upon seeing this one. If you were opting for a chic yet classic look without sacrificing style, this would be that one bag that you'll gladly get your hands on.
The Chanel Pearl Wallet On Chain Bag exudes an aura of sophistication. The pearl -like accent on the middle with the CC logo made it all the more beautiful. Yes, it's a definite eye candy that's worth of other people's stares.
It is made up of lambskin, metallic calfskin, gross grain and light gold metal and black & light gold and measures 4.6′ x 7.6′ x 1.4′ inches, priced at €1830 euro via chanel boutique.
Never running from a real fight!
These lyrics come in the background as soon as we are writing a review about this gorgeous red colored shoulder bag.
Can we tell you how much we are digging this bag? Its one-of-a-kind beauty reminds us of the good old days of Sailor Moon and the Girls. Yes, we are 100% certain that Sailor Moon will be wearing this gem as soon as she lays her eyes on Gucci's Leather Bow and Pearl Bag.
Well, why did we think of Sailor Moon? It's quite obvious that the red color and the metal bow and glass pearls are reminiscent of the hype that this Japanese manga series brought not too long ago (by that we mean decades ago).
Moving on to the bag, we couldn't help but admire its hibiscus red leather. Ladies remember that you can never go wrong with red! It also features an interior open pocket, a gold toned metal bow with glass pearl detail and glass pearl studs and gold toned studs, antiqued gold toned hardware and a sliding chain strap that can be worn as a shoulder strap or as a top handle.
It measures 8 x 5.5 x 2.5 (W x H x D) inches.
Everything with 'pearls' in it, deserves our attention.
The Lanvin Sugar Bag Line has been around for some time, and there are many variations of it. Celebrities love this bag like Diane Kruger or Jessica Alba, it's also available in different colors and materials.
But what drew our attention is this new Lanvin Sugar Pearl Bag. Basically, this bag is painted in black and refined with golden hardware, but the edges are embellished with little pearls.
It's pearly, but not too girly. The bag appears to be more kind-of like a studded bag and it goes great with your rock-style outfit (that is hanging in your closet). And it's also wonderful to use as an everyday accessory.
Crafted from super soft lambskin, carry it on your shoulder with metal beads. The chain is finished with a leather patch at shoulder for more comfort.
This bag is separated in three compartments just like the Celine Trio Pouch. Measuring 11.4' x 8.7' x 3.9' inches.

Preview of Mongoose R.I.P. Summary:
Although the novel Mongoose R.I.P.
is concerned with saving the world from Communist aggression, it also focuses on the illegal and self-defeating actions of the United States.
Buckley is certain that American intelligence agencies, under the direction of then President John F. Kennedy and his brother Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, made several attempts on the life of Cuban Premier Fidel Castro. Buckley has titled his novel after the code name for this operation: Mongoose. Buckley's novel emphasizes, however, the fact that the absolute denial of human rights by Cuba's totalitarian government under Fidel Castro and the Soviet Union's brutality toward its own citizens are far worse than any misdeeds committed by the United States.
Buckley is also concerned with the threat of nuclear war and the danger posed by a Communist dictatorship so close to our shores. He effectively demonstrates how...

JSSL Singapore FA Cup Guest of Honour and Danish football legend Peter Schmeichel met 10 young footballers on Saturday, 11 December at Our Tampines Hub. On the sidelines of the inaugural JSSL Singapore FA Cup, the former Manchester United captain shared football tips and advice, and practised light goalkeeping drills with the youth athletes, who were aged between 12 to 16 years old.
After the clinic, Schmeichel said: "It's my first visit today in this fantastic venue. It's so great to see kids play football and kids being happy on a football pitch. We've got this wonderful tournament here – the JSSL Singapore FA Cup – and it's for kids. Kids are playing football, they're back on the football pitch enjoying this wonderful sport and this tournament, it's an incredible event."

Note: To work cross-platform, you will need a separate Scrivener licence for each platform.
Important note on using Scrivener 3 for macOS with Scrivener 1 for Windows: Scrivener 3 for Windows is currently in development and we expect to release it sometime in 2020. Scrivener 3 has an updated file format which cannot be opened in earlier versions of Scrivener. This means that for now--until Scrivener 3 is released for Windows--you cannot open Scrivener 3 projects created on macOS in Scrivener 1 for Windows. (Note that we are jumping from version 1 to version 3 on Windows for consistency with the macOS version.) There are two ways of working between platforms during this transitional period:
You can download the latest version of Scrivener 2 for macOS from our site and use that for projects that you need to be compatible with the Windows version. (A Scrivener 3 licence can be used to unlock Scrivener 2.)
You can export your project to Scrivener 2 format from Scrivener 3 and edit the resulting Scrivener 2 project on Windows. To do so, go to File > Export > as Scrivener 2 Project... When using this method you will need to be careful about keeping track of which version of the project is the most recent, because after exporting, you will work on the exported project in Scrivener 2 and then open that in Scrivener 3 when returning to the Mac, which will upgrade it to Scrivener 3 format again. You will then need to export again when you next need to use the project on Windows. (Note also that Scrivener 2 does not support all Scrivener 3 features. You will lose Styles information from the text, for instance, so it is best to avoid using Styles when using this method.)
Original text below:
The Scrivener project format is cross-platform compatible. There will never be a need to convert or export your project if all you wish to do is work on another computer. If you use a Mac at home and a netbook on the go, you should have no problem copying the project back and forth between computers as necessary.
One important thing to note is that on the Mac a Scrivener project will appear to be a file with a ".scriv" extension, while on Windows, it will appear to be a folder with a ".scriv" extension. It is actually a folder on both systems, but the Mac's operating system hides the internal contents of the folder to keep them safe. When viewed on Windows, this "file" is shown for what it really is: a folder. If you navigate into this project folder you will find the binder file, which is a file with a yellow Scrivener icon and a ".scrivx" extension. This file is an index to the other parts of the project, and it is the file that is used to open the project on Windows.
There are a few caveats which will in time diminish. At the time of this writing there are some feature level incompatibilities between versions. These will not cause you to lose work, but in some cases you will not see things you've done on one computer while using the Windows machine. Here is a brief list of the affected features:
Compile settings: until the compile features achieve better parity, each platform saves its settings to its own configuration file. That way you do not lose your settings from the Mac by switching to the PC, but while on the PC you will be unable to interact with those settings. It is thus best to choose one machine as the one you will compile from.
Interface settings: anything that you can change in your project, such as the visibility of label colours, group view mode preferences, which files you were editing last, split views, and so on will not transfer between computers. Some would consider this preferable, anyway.
Advanced project target settings: "Allow writing on day of deadline" and "Reset session count" are not supported on Windows.
Default New Subdocument Type: this is not yet supported on Windows, so will only be available when working on the Mac.
Web import: Scrivener on the Mac uses Apple's .webarchive format to import webpages, but this format is not supported on Windows or by most Windows browsers. Scrivener on Windows uses the MHT format, which is not currently supported in Scrivener on the Mac. We recommend importing webpages as PDF on Windows and converting them to PDF on Mac for best cross-platform compatibility.
MathType equations: Because of the different ways MathType integrates with Scrivener on Windows and on Mac, equations do not transfer cleanly between the two platforms. Equations inserted into a document on Windows will become static images if the document is edited in the Mac version, and equations inserted on Mac will temporarily become static images when opened on Windows, though they will be restored as proper MathType equations when reopened on a Mac. We recommend limiting a project to a single platform when working with MathType.
Lastly, since many are interested in doing so, storing a project on Dropbox or a similar service that promises to keep files up to date between computers automatically is something you can do. It can be done, but you should read the corresponding knowledge base article. It contains valuable tips for mitigating the risks associated with allowing a third-party program detailed access to the project's internal files.
Working with the iOS Version
To edit your Scrivener projects on the iOS version, please follow the instructions provided in the tutorial project that comes with Scrivener for iOS. If you run into problems, we have comprehensive instructions available here:
