The title refers both to our presentation during the last BACL Annual Seminar and our newly published edited volume (I. Alogna, C. Bakker and J.-P. Gauci (eds), Climate Change Litigation: Global Perspectives, Brill, 2021). This research builds on an event (see its report) held at the British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL) in London on 16 January 2020, where an illustrious group of practitioners, academics, NGO representatives, domestic and international law experts were brought together to discuss what is currently one of the most discussed and appealing topic of our time. In the months that followed we worked together with this very heterogenous group of experts, many of whom are also directly involved in climate change lawsuits, and we solicited additional contributions, with a view to providing an overview of the global phenomenon of climate change litigation. The book, as the event before that, is organised in two parts reflecting the two complementary souls of BIICL and offering both comparative and international perspectives on climate litigation, highlighting both opportunities and constraints, related to each different legal system taken into consideration and to the regional and international fora where this kind of cases have been or are potentially going to be brought. But let’s make a step back to understand what we are talking about.
Climate Change Litigation: What Is That?
Climate change litigation is a relatively new phenomenon having emerged during the last two decades in response to the failure by national and international policymakers to achieve the goals enshrined in the international climate change regime (broadly speaking, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement). In fact, as often highlighted by the literature, climate change is considered an always more evident ‘super-wicked problem’: time is running out, there is no central authority to tackle it, and those seeking to end the problem are also those causing it. Notwithstanding the elaborate international climate regime, States’ climate measures are lagging behind compared to the rapid devolpment of climate change and its impacts. This failure and delay in action has required other actors (beyond national governments and parliaments) to react in order to tackle climate change. Therefore, a complex mix of actors, including NGOs and citizens, but also shareholders, investors, cities and states, have decided to react to challenge local authorities and national governments’ actions or inactions. This has created a global momentum whereby courts and tribunals are recognised as fundamental actors for exerting pressure on the other two branches of the government to act on climate change issues – at the same time, climate change-related cases have also been filed against private actors, such as the ‘Carbon Majors’, which are major greenhouse gas emitters, mostly fossil fuel and cement companies. Although this momentum has been contrasted by national constraints and well-established doctrines, such as the ‘separation of powers’ (which is at the core of a international virtual summit convened by BIICL on 7th-8th July 2021 – Our Future in the Balance: the Role of Courts and Tribunals in Meeting the Climate Crisis), it has produced an unmistakable impact on policymakers and companies through several landmark decisions all around the world – suffice to cite globally (and already) iconic cases such as Massachusetts vs. EPA, Urgenda Foundation vs. the State of the Netherlands, Leghari vs. Federation of Pakistan, Notre Affaire à Tous and Others v. France, or the most recent Milieudefensie et al et al vs. Royal Dutch Shell.
Why Are ‘Global Perspectives’ Needed?
As we highlight in our volume, in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of this complex phenomenon, it is critical to adopt an epistemological approach which is global in its dimensions and capable to apprehend the complexity of the context around climate and the response thereto. Therefore, the ‘Global Perspectives’ are needed in order to tackle this issue and other related global problems which are occurring as we seem to have entered a new geological epoch: the Anthropocene (from the Greek word ‘anthropo’ for man, and the root ‘cene’, the standard suffix for epoch), where human beings have become capable of impacting Earth’s geology and the functioning of its global ecosystem. Hence, individual States and their legal and governance structures must be considered as part of a bigger political and normative response, combining both comparative and international experiences and future prospects. ‘Global Perspectives’ are including not only legal systems in which climate change litigation has flourished, such as the United States (more than three-quarters of the total number of cases, according to the ‘Climate Change Litigation Databases’), Australia (with the second largest number of climate cases globally, identified in the ‘Australian Climate Change Litigation database’) or the United Kingdom (with 73 climate cases to date, according to the ‘Climate Change Laws of the World’), or whose tribunals have issued landmark decisions (ex: the Netherlands and Pakistan), but also countries where the developments in this field are ripe for judicial intervention. Moreover, our inquiry in the book spans the most significant examples of international litigation and the possibilities originating from regional and global fora yet to engage with climate issues. That’s why it appears necessary for a comprehensive analysis of climate change litigation to take into consideration its global perspectives through both its comparative (Part I) and international perspectives (Part II).
Comparative and International Perspectives
The first part of our volume focuses on some of the most significant climate change litigation developments in domestic legal systems around the world. The selection of countries and the order in which they are presented follow three criteria: quantitative, geographical and diversity of legal families. We focused on countries in a descending order based on the number of climate change litigation case reported – the United States, Australia, United Kingdom, Pakistan and India, France, Brazil, South Africa and the Netherlands – and finishing with two legal systems that are new yet critical to the global fight against climate change – Russia and China – and their future prospects in this field. Geographically, we wanted to provide a global perspective reflecting the developments of climate change litigation in every continent, through important legal experiences from Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa and Oceania, and reflecting the balance in developments between countries in the Global North (6) and the Global South (5). Finally, we tried to reflect the traditional comparative law classification of legal families: common law (the US, Australia and the UK), countries with a strong common law influence (India and Pakistan), civil law, (France, Brazil, the Netherlands and Russia) and finally China as a mixed system or as a separate and particular legal system on its own. The framework of the different legal families is completed by South-Africa, a typical mixed system of common law and civil law.
The second part of the volume takes into consideration regional and international perspectives of climate change litigation. The regional dimension refers to the European courts (both the courts of the European Union, and the European Court of Human Rights), and to the African and Inter-American human rights systems. Even though these regional bodies also fall within the broader ambit of ‘international perspectives’, their specificity, both in terms of their geographical scope, and of their role in monitoring and enforcing States’ human rights obligations, justify a particular focus on this regional component. The international dimension of climate change litigation analysed in this part covers the main fora that exist at the ‘universal’ level, including the two United Nations Human Rights Treaty Bodies where climate-related claims have been initiated or decided in recent years: the UN Human Rights Committee and the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. Subsequent chapters address the possibilities and limitations for climate change-related claims to be brought before the International Court of Justice, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), the Dispute Settlement Mechanism of the World Trade Organization, the International Criminal Court and various forms of international arbitration.
Climate change litigation is increasingly being used as a tool to pressure governments to adopt and implement more ambitious climate policies that better align with their national and international obligations, and to hold major greenhouse gas emitting corporations accountable for their role in exacerbating climate change. The success of such climate litigations in different parts of the world has inspired citizens and NGOs in other countries to try this way of environmental and climate activism, also stimulating the improvement of their climate change laws and regulations. There has also been an increase in complaints launched before United Nations human rights treaty bodies and regional courts, which are becoming interesting laboratories of judicial experimentation, triggering States’ consciousness in relation to climate change issues. A consciousness of the necessary interdependence among States is triggering the need for the dialogue, cooperation and necessary collective response, from a legal point of view, in order to tackle climate change in an effective manner. As acknowledged in the introductory chapter of the volume, climate change litigation is ever evolving, and we are witnessing every week more cases everywhere around the world, whose developments are likely to be informed in different ways and to different degrees by the decisions, cases and prospects discussed in this volume. With the other co-editors, we decided to choose the painting ‘On the wing of a blue butterfly’ by the Dutch artist Marianne Benkö for the cover of the volume, in order to represent the ‘butterfly effect’, the idea that the flap of a butterfly’s wings in a part of the world might ultimately cause a tornado elsewhere. This is the metaphor of the existing interdependence in the natural world and in the climate system, and in the global normative space and between the different legal systems, which makes us understand how important the interactive exchange of knowledge and experiences through comparative and international perspectives is to tackle more effectively the issues related to climate change.

After a spate of sunny spring-like weather, temperatures are set to plummet again this weekend, according to Met Éireann.
Mist and fog will greet many people this morning in Leinster and Munster while those in the south and south-east can expect to wake up to frost following a cold night during which temperatures were expected to fall to between 5C and 0C.
While today will see a mixture of sunshine and cloud, it will be noticeably cooler for those living along eastern and northern coasts who will feel the brunt of light to moderate north-easterly breezes.
Highest temperatures range from 8C to 14C further south and inland, while overnight temperatures will dip down again to just 3C to 6C.
It will be a similar picture tomorrow with a few passing showers in eastern counties and highs of just 7C to 10C and overnight lows of 1C to -2C. Sunday will be dry but cold with sub-zero temperatures at night.

Parashakti: Dance Of Liberation
(I wrote this article for/as Parashakti, announcing her involvement with Gaian Mind Festival. - Tena)
Trance dancing is an indigenous and shamanic ritual used to achieve an altered state of consciousness. Surrendering to a transcendental heart beat, dancers journey to elevated states for healing, soul retrieval, and liberation of one's creative life force. Trance dancing cultivates embodied freedom by attuning the dancer to their internal rhythm, and the rhythm of the planet, the Earth – The Gaian Mind.
This year, June 11th-14th, 2009, will mark the eighth year of the Gaian Mind Summer Festival, a festival that is home to hundreds of trance dancers every year. Gaian Mind celebrates the dance of life through spiritual dancing, tribal drumming, healing arts, yoga, sweat lodge, visionary arts, lectures, workshops, and a wide variety of progressive and enlightening information to stimulate self-healing, spiritual growth, and expansion of human consciousness. This event lasts for four days and three nights in an open-air environment with camping and dormitory-style cabins in a unique rustic resort located in Darlington, MD, called Ramblewood.
This year I am honored to be offering three workshops at Gaian Mind Summer Festival, including The Dance of Liberation, Dance to Retrieve Lost Parts of the Soul, and Buffalo Heart, an “Earth Medicine Awakening” workshop shared with Vernon Foster.
There will also be many other enlightening workshops and lectures at the festival covering topics such as The 13 Moon Calendar, 2012: Mayan Cosmology, Pow Wow Drum, Odissi Classical Indian Temple Dance, Journey to the Now: Awakening the Capacity to Love , Archedream Mask Making, and many others.
The main focus of Gaian Mind is nightly trance dancing rituals. The festival offers two outdoor dance floors, one with visionary, psychedelic trance music, and another downtempo and chillout music area.
The Gaian Mind Summer Festival is more than a trance dancing music festival, it is a ritual with an abundance of opportunity for learning, growing, education and participation in various ceremonies. I welcome you to join me at Gaian Mind Summer Festival to “Celebrate the Dance of Life!”

One part of the effect seems to come from an unconscious pact you make with your many-faceted mind. When you remove your "street" clothes, you give your mind permission to likewise "put off" important thoughts about "mundane" life until you return to those clothes. Notice that I don't say "compel your mind" to avoid those thoughts...that generally doesn't work very well. Instead, you acknowledge the importance of the mundane thoughts and promise to return to them after the ceremony (gee, did you know you were being so polite to your self? <-;).
Likewise, when you don your ceremonial robes you invite your mind to start focusing on the ceremony ahead and the general context of such ceremonies and their associated mental states. For those who work 'skyclad', this effect is often achieved by tying on a cord or putting on ritual jewelry. When you step into the ritual chamber, you reiterate those invitations while you step out of the transition and into the magick.
These dynamics are fairly universal...they are the same for a Christian priest and his vestments or a Toreador and his Suit of Lights; from an actor slipping into his costume and character to a couple slipping into those "special" night- things. The mechanics vary from a simple "change clothes and walk in" to elaborately formal vesting rituals with prescribed chants and gestures at each stage. In NLP we call the clothes and places "anchors", while others call them reminders, Mnemonics, or talismans. They can be constructed consciously or evolve unconsciously.

A Michigan man was jailed after police said he was showing off a federally protected baby sea turtle on Duval Street Thursday morning.
Dean Everett Davis, 24, was intoxicated at the time he was handling the baby loggerhead turtle, which is deemed threatened in Florida and protected under federal and state law, and kept telling police he found it on Duval, according to the arrest report.
“In his hand was a small baby loggerhead turtle sea turtle that may have hatched last night, 7/19/2017,” wrote Officer J. Lopez of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Davis was arrested for felony violation of conservation-animals-destroy, sell, molest turtles or eggs or nests and felony threat on a public servant.
FWC officers called the Turtle Hospital, which sent a biologist who returned the baby sea turtle to the ocean “unharmed,” Lopez wrote.
Davis later said he found the turtle at Nelson English Park in Bahama Village but the biologist, Ralph Capone, said that wasn’t possible since there was no beach or ocean there.
“Davis yelled at me, saying that this is not over [and] when he gets out he will be looking for me to give me what is coming,” Lopez wrote.

I'd personally like to see some figures to back it up. Energy prices in the last years have only gone up faster than inflation, and show no signs of letting off in the rampant increase. Perhaps it is due to carbon taxes on fossil fuel power generation and subsidies for solar power generation, but this isn't transparent to the end consumer.
Reshared post from +Russell Davison
Renewables growth in Europe lowers wholesale electricity prices
The fast growth of renewable energy generation in Europe has pushed down wholesale electricity prices in recent years. The profitability of fossil fuel generated electricity has gone down as renewables have grown. This means some power stations are operating at a loss, and may close. A number of fossil fuel power generators in Europe are now running at a loss. With less demand for the electricity they produce but the same fixed costs, some are struggling to stay afloat.

Idaho governor C.L. “Butch” Otter listens as Acting Assistant Secretary for Environmental Management Sue Cange addresses guests at the AMWTP Retrieval Completion Celebration on Thursday, March 2.
At one time more than 150,000 drums and boxes of transuranic waste were stored in the Transuranic Storage Area-Retrieval Enclosure. Now, with those containers safely retrieved, all that remains is the equipment and structures used to finish their retrieval, including the two yellow Inner Contamination Enclosures that were placed over severely degraded containers, adding another level of containment during retrieval.
The final waste box, the last of the containers that held more than 50,000 cubic meters of waste, is wrapped and awaiting removal from the Retrieval Contamination Enclosure, located inside the Transuranic Storage Area-Retrieval Enclosure. The work was performed by employees working on the Idaho Cleanup Project Core contract.
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho – On March 2, workers at DOE’s Idaho site celebrated the completion of transuranic waste retrieval activities at the Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project’s Transuranic Storage Area-Retrieval Enclosure (TSA-RE).
For more than 20 years, the gigantic building–covering seven acres of land—has been the temporary storage location for the largest stockpile of legacy transuranic waste in the DOE complex. The TSA-RE covered an earthen berm that protected more than 50,000 cubic meters of metal drums and boxes containing transuranic waste. An additional 15,000 cubic meters of waste had been stored in nearby storage modules.
Excavation and retrieval activities began in 2003, and the last box was safely retrieved in February. Each of the drums and boxes retrieved from the TSA-RE has, or will be, repackaged and prepared for shipment out of Idaho for final disposal. A celebration to mark the completion of retrieval activities and honor the AMWTP workforce included Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter, Lt. Governor Brad Little, Attorney General Lawrence Wasden, Acting EM Assistant Secretary Sue Cange, DOE Idaho site management, and several area elected officials.
“Due to the skill and dedication of our staff, AMWTP has made remarkable progress over the years. We owe a great debt of gratitude to every employee who has worked on this project, and recognize that its success includes contributions from employees all across the DOE complex,” said Jack Zimmerman, Deputy Manager for the Idaho Cleanup Project at the DOE Idaho Operations Office.

Understanding Ancestors/Senior Elders (Edion) inGreat BeninTradition (Excerpt from ‘Kings, Magic & Medicine”
By Chief Dr. Daryl Peavy
The Edo people’s belief in ancestral veneration was an integral part of the social mores of the civilization. The Edo word Edion meant both ancestors and senior elders (Ero 2003: 14). Both ancestors and elders were regarded as vital components of enforcing the moral codes of the society. The family unit was the beginning of moral codes. The Edo believed that the family unit was composed of the living as well as the departed (Awolalu 1996: 61). Ancestors were the departed elders of the family, and society that made an impact upon people’s lives. Ancestors were part of the family units that consisted of fathers, mothers, uncles and aunts. Ancestors might also be kings, chiefs, superheroes and any person who had positively impacted the Edo people (Ero 2003: 8). Although deceased, the departed family members continued to impact their relations as much as they did when they were alive. The ancestors were able to retain the senses of sight, sound, smell and touch, and also retained the same emotions that they had when alive. Therefore, the ancestors were able to interact with the living with a degree of humanness and closeness that the other spirits did not possess. The ancestors were the closest spirits to humankind. The Edo people believed that ancestors resided in heaven and delivered personal messages to God Almighty (Ero 2003: 11). Therefore, the Edo people communicated with the ancestors regularly.
Ancestors maintained an unbroken relationship with the family units and served as spiritual family heads (Ero 2003: 9). The Edo believed that the ancestors had an integral part in all major family decisions. They were the guardians of family ethics and traditions. Ancestors were involved in blessing as well as punishing their offspring. Similar to a child that tried to please his parents, ancestral veneration demanded the same moral code.
The concept of ancestors was multidimensional. Some ancestors existed in both the spiritual and physical realms. The Edo people believed that through the cycle of birth and death, their ancestors could be reborn into the same family through the process of reincarnation. Ancestors that returned to the same family were given names that illustrated their rebirth. Such names as “father returns” or “mother returns” (Awolalu 1996: 60) revealed that it was the parent that returned to the physical world. On certain occasions, during the naming ceremony called izomo, a diviner would be called to indicate the particular ancestor that was reborn. However, it would not be a full rebirth. The spirit of the ancestor in heaven would also be worshiped through traditional methods as well.
The intimate association between ancestors and elders is evident in the word edion. Edion was used interchangeably for ancestors and elders of the most senior age grade (Ero 2003: 14); therefore, elders were revered just as much as ancestors. Beginning with the Edo age grade (otu) structure prepared the elders for their future roles as leaders in the community. A person’s membership into an age grade was one of the indicators that determined social status. The age grades were evbirhoba, eroghae, igbama, ighele, owere, and odionwere. The evbirhoba was from six to 13 or 14 years. The eroghae or igbama was the age grade from 14 years old to 21-27 years old. Ighele was the age grade from 21-28 years old to 42-45 years old, while owere or elder age grade was from 42-45years old to the departure from this world to the spirit realm. The most senior elder was called the odionwere. In the period before kings, the odionwere governed. He was the village headman, who made the major decisions for the community. The odionwere was also the chief priest of the collective ancestors in the community (Ero 2003: 14).
The Edo people maintained a structured moral consciousness through ancestral veneration (Ero 2003: 9). The Edo people believed that the ancestors were watching the family members’ every move, like a child who was aware that his parent was dutifully watching every step (Ero 2003: 8-11). Ancestral reverence developed an intimate awareness of right, wrong, good, or bad. A child spent most of his life trying to please his parents and to not bring disfavor upon the family’s honor. As members of a higher age grade and caretakers, the father, mother, uncles, and aunts held a very respectful and beloved status in the family. They were respected for their nurturing leadership abilities in the family setting. Elders were held in high regard for the wisdom that they brought to the community. The Edo people believed that elders achieved wisdom by attaining knowledge that was broad and balanced, that was applied with reason and seasoned with experience (Edebiri 2004: 71). The Edo people called that type of wisdom experience of the world!
The Edo people had many proverbs that revealed the importance of elders to the community. One of the Edo proverbs stated, “It is the words my father tells me that I will always believe,” which illustrated the sanctity and value of the elders’ wisdom (Galembo: 54). The seasoned knowledge and understanding of elders was also expressed in another Edo proverb that stated, “When you become older, you will understand the inner feelings of others” (Galembo, et. al. 1993: 54; Ero 2003: 10). Furthermore, according to Edebiri, the Edo people had a proverb that displayed the elders’ wisdom in relationship to the youth (2004). The Edo proverb stated that “the old man sees vision and the young man dreams” (Edebiri 2004). The proverb indicated that elders were able to foretell the future based upon an experienced vision, where the youth in their hastiness were full of inexperience. The elders were held in such high respect and love that children were expected to bury the father or mother in the child’s home and perform a proper funeral. For the Edo people, parental love, care, guidance and interaction permeated even after death. The ancestors’ children prepared their loved ones for the journey to the spiritual world through elaborate burial ceremonies (Ero 2005: 8-14). The ancestor’s social status determined the length and splendor of the burial ceremony.
The common people’s burial ceremony lasted for seven days and was attended by family and the local community (Edebiri 2004: 7). The king’s burial ceremony lasted for fourteen days (Edebiri 2004: 7). The royal funeral ceremony was a grand occasion. The entire society paid homage to the departed king. Chief Isekhurhe would ceremonially strike the white-chalk (orhue) on the ground, breaking it into pieces. Chief Esogban would publicly proclaim “Osorue bunrun” or “the
white chalk has been broken” (Edebiri 2004: 2). Special funerary dances were performed. The ekasa dance was performed during the funeral ceremonies of departed Edo kings and iyobas (Queen Mother)(Edebiri 2004: 8).
There were also ancestral ceremonies for the entire kingdom. The Edo people worshipped the spirits of their departed parents in annual festival for paternal gods (Eho) (Ero 2003: 78). The Edo people believed that every eldest son was a chief priest for the departed family member. The ancestor’s entire family would take part in the festival with the eldest son officiating. The Eho festival was also intended to bring different lineages of the family together so that they could regroup and know one another (Ero 2003: 78).
After death, the father’s home usually passed to the eldest son. The eldest son was also the chief priest for his siblings and performed the familial ceremonies (Ero 2003: 14). The eldest son paid homage to the departed elders at the ancestral shrine (erinmwin-idu) located inside the compound (Ero 2003: 14). The eldest son sacrificed a goat and a cock to his departed father. The goat and cock were cooked and eaten the following day (Norborg 1992: 161). A dance for the ancestors called ohogho was performed at Eho. Ohogho was danced in a revolving circle, and the dancers played egogo bells. In the houses of certain chiefs, the emighan drums were played. According to Norborg, in some families, women played the ube drums (1992: 161).
If the eldest son neglected any of the ritual functions, the ancestors would inflict their wrath upon the entire familial group. The Edo people had a proverb that illustrated the importance of taking care of the elders and ancestors. The Edo proverb stated that “As you had done for your parents, so also your children will pay you back” (Ero 2003: 10). The Edo proverb could be a blessing or curse depending on how a person treated his parents. The Edo people believed that the ancestors could cause sickness and death if their descendents neglected them. The Edo people had a statement about a person that informed all about the neglect of an ancestor, it stated “he was troubled by the ancestors” (Ero 2003: 10). When neglect was ascertained, native doctors would be called in to determine what sacrifices were needed to appease the ancestral spirits to cure the problem. Because of the belief in punishment and reward, ancestral reverence was one of the major forces behind Edo morality (Ero 2003: 9). Belief in the ancestors maintained a high level of social order (Ero 2003: 9). Children were wary of bringing.shame upon the family because of some malevolent act. The community-at-large also refrained from committing acts that would upset the collective deified ancestors because of divine retribution.

Gravity and Magnetics
PGS has an extensive library of gravity and magnetics datasets. These datasets can be either qualitatively interpreted to enhance the geological understanding in regions of sparse seismic data coverage (e.g. 2D only) or quantitatively analyzed to help with complex interpretation challenges.
Map-based qualitative interpretation may be used to enhance the understanding of basin architecture and is commonly applied in frontier areas or regions of sparse data coverage. 2D or 3D modeling and inversion for quantitative interpretation, are typically used to address more complex interpretation challenges, such as sub-salt imaging, and it complements seismic interpretation.
PGS routinely acquires high resolution gravity and magnetic data simultaneously with seismic, and has extensive global datasets. Interpretation of gravity and magnetic data is conducted using industry standard Oasis Montaj and XField software packages.
- Corrections, reductions and transforms (Bouguer and terrain correction)
- Filters to enhance subtle features within the data
- Edge detection and lineament / trend extraction
- 2D modeling closely linked with seismic is ideal for testing different interpretation hypotheses
- 3D modeling and inversion for in-depth analysis

One Tree Hill
2013 Garden 14 - One Tree Hill
This garden design was driven by the Arts and Crafts architecture of the house and the unique site which backs onto One Tree Hill farm paddocks. The clients were family focused, keen entertainers and eager to create an urban haven around their dream home.
The robust, quality materials of the house deserved landscape materials and features of similar weight and elegance. Extensive rock walls, wrought iron fences and gates and raised planters have been used to step the garden up the gradually rising site.
The front garden has a formal, restrained palette and small lawn featuring a mature Totara tree. The middle section is all about indoor-outdoor living – extensive limestone paved patios for entertaining and family gatherings, surrounded by lush, subtropical planting. Finally, graceful steps rise to the swimming pool/spa level. The informal, massed low planting covers the slope above the pool. It features large boulders extracted from the site and rustic steps to the park beyond.
The challenging rocky site required extensive excavation to carve out usable garden spaces. Its long, skinny shape also dictated the arrangement of landscape elements, but the result does not feel squeezed or dark. With little sense of bordering neighbours, your focus is on the surprisingly rural views of the park and the wide sky above.

To the editor: Catanzaro and associates (1) in their article on ketoconazole and coccidioidomycosis cite three earlier studies and comment: ". . . only 20 clinical cases of coccidioidomycosis being treated with ketoconazole have been reported." The three studies cited, however, reported a total of 61 patients with coccidioidomycosis treated with ketoconazole. The number of patients studied was amplified in a subsequent report (2) and other preliminary reports were published in abstract form.
Catanzaro and associates suggest the serum half-life of ketoconazole is 5.4 hours, whereas recent pharmacokinetic studies (3) indicate a shorter time of 2.0 to 3.3 hours. Examination

My Combination Skin Is Thriving In Winter Thanks To This Routine
Having combination skin means I have to master not one, but two skills. Learning to treat both, the dry and oily areas on my face has been quite a journey. But thankfully, I figured out a skincare routine that’s helping me out. While my skin feels more oily in the summer, it tends to get drier in the winter. This season, my skin has been overwhelmed by the drop in temperatures and got extremely dry.
Use A Gentle Cleanser
It’s a known fact that over-exfoliating your skin can cause damage. This season, I ditched harsh face washes, scrubs, and chemical peels. I have been enjoying using the DHC Beauty Face Wash Powder. It is mild, yet effective. It foams up just enough to give you that clean feel without stripping the skin of moisture.
Swap Toner For A Hydrating Mist
When you have dry, acne-prone skin, it’s best to skip toners and use face mists instead. I’ve been using the Kama Ayurveda Pure Rose Water face mist that keeps my skin hydrated and soothed.
Apply A Gentle Serum
While salicylic acid serums have worked well for my combination skin in summer, they dry out my skin in winter. I’ve been using the MyGlamm 10% Niacinamide Clarifying Serum which is hydrating and soothing. It also works on fading old acne scars, reducing texture and dullness.
Layering Is The Secret
Once the serum has completely absorbed into my skin, I seal in all that goodness with a light moisturiser. The Manish Malhotra Amla Moisturising Gel quenches my skin and makes it plump.
Facial Oil Is Your Friend
It is a myth that facial oils cause acne. Adding the right blend of oils to your routine can help you deal with dry and flaky skin. I spend 5 minutes every day massaging a facial oil on my face and neck. The BiE Illuminating Face Oil is a great lightweight facial oil perfect for combination skin types.
Don’t Skip The SPF
I don’t like heavy, creamy sunscreens, I am always afraid they will break me out. The POPxo Beach Bum Multi-Use Sunscreen Spray SPF 50 PA+++ is my favourite spray-on sunscreen. It is ultra-light and feels like nothing on the skin. The best part is that it can even be reapplied over makeup. I use this every couple of hours and dab my skin with loose powder to minimise shine.
Give these tips a shot to see if they work for your skin as well!

Betcris Sports Gambling Group IBIA.
Leading Latin American games wagering brand Betcris has joined the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA), reinforcing the organization’s monitoring and alert coverage capabilities throughout the LatAm region.
The brand has been owned by TV Global Enterprises Limited since 2006 and offers online sports gambling in various countries across the globe. It is especially solid in the rising LatAm gambling market, where it likewise operates retail gambling shops. Betcris is the second gambling operator to join IBIA since the beginning of 2020, with five having joined last year.
The IBIA is the main worldwide voice on honesty for the legal gambling industry. It is managed by operators, shielding its individuals from corruption through collaborative efforts. The monitoring and alert platform has become a highly effective anti-corruption tool that is capable of detecting and reporting any type of suspicious gambling activity in the markets of its members.
The affiliation has longstanding data sharing agreements with gambling and sports regulators, which have become fundamental for prosecuting individuals found to be involved in corruption in sports. The IBIA is the voice for the industry at high-level strategy forums, including the IOC, the UN, the Council of Europe and the European Commission.
JD Duarte, CEO of Betcris, explains of the decision to become an IBIA member, “One of the main components to our approach to offering a responsible and sustainable business model is integrity, an aspect that has become even more important under the new gambling paradigm caused by the coronavirus.
Being part of an organization dedicated to monitoring and enhancing integrity and transparency in gaming is now essentially a licensing requirement for operating in many countries, as the Brazilian sports gambling laws and other recent legislative developments prove. IBIA is, without a doubt, the global leader on integrity and Betcris is excited about working with it to protect sports and the industry from corruption.”
Betcris has been diligently working on expanding throughout the LatAm region since its inception, and is a primary leader in ensuring legitimacy at both the sports and the sports gambling levels. Through its efforts, the company, headquartered in Costa Rica, has rapidly become a pillar of responsible gaming.
Khalid Ali, CEO of the International Betting Integrity Association, explains of Betcris’s inclusion, “I’m delighted to welcome one of the leading sports betting brands in Latin America to IBIA.
Betcris is a major investor in sport with a number of sponsorship deals in place, including the Brasileiro Série A, and is well-placed to strengthen our monitoring coverage of existing and emerging markets in the region. I hope that other LatAm operators will follow Betcris’ example and highlight their commitment to integrity by also joining the world’s largest operator-run sports betting association.”

Structural, magnetic, Mossbauer and magnetostrictive studies of amorphous Tb(Fe0.55Co0.45)1.5 films
Films with a nominal composition of Tb(Fe0.55Co0.45)1.5 were fabricated by rf-magnetron sputtering from a fixed target configuration at various Ar gas pressures. Samples were investigated by means of x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), conversion electron Mossbauer spectra (CEMS) and magnetostriction measurements. As the Ar pressure increases, the Tb and Fe content increases slightly, whereas the Co content decreases. In addition, a small amount of Ar is introduced into the films. The as-deposited films are amorphous alloys, but their magnetic behaviour depends strongly on the deposition conditions: a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is obtained only in film deposited at lowest Ar pressure and a parallel magnetic anisotropy exhibits in remaining films. These samples show an intrinsic magnetostriction (λ ≈ 10-3) in an applied field of 0.7 T. In this state, it was determined that the hyperfine field reaches the value Bhf = 24.5 T. Effects of the heat treatment on the magnetostrictive softness are also reported. The parallel magnetostriction with a huge magnetostrictive susceptibility (χλ = 1.8 × 10-2 T-1) obtained at (μ0H = 10 mT) makes these materials useful for applications.


Commercial Solutions Case Studies: City of Grand Island Concrete Highway Repair
A half-mile stretch of Locust Street, one of the main highways from I-80 into the city of Grand Island, was experiencing signs of failure. This section of the road was experiencing differential settlement between concrete slabs.
Several sections of the road had dropped up to two and even three inches. The road condition not only created an unpleasant driving experience, but it also created an unsafe driving environment. This section of the road was particularly hazardous for motorcycle travel.
At the time of the road's distress, the City of Grand Island was also preparing for the Nebraska State Fair. This event was estimated to draw in over 300,0000 Nebraskans from across the state, placing an extra emphasis on the roadway being ready.
Several options were considered, including complete tear-out and replacement of the road and grinding, patching and sealing. Since most concrete was in good shape, rather than replace or patch, the city decided to put out a request for proposals using polyurethane foam injection to address the settlement. Thrasher was invited to bid on this project because of our product capabilities and our experience working with the DOT and repairing roadways.
Thrasher was ultimately selected as the contractor of choice for this project and was contracted to install PolyLevel 400h, a polyurethane foam, to address the settlement issues. Knowing the high degree of visibility for this project and the need to have it completed before the State Fair, Thrasher sent its personnel on-site with the singular focus of completing a quality project on time and budget. The crew of Thrasher employees spent three and a half consecutive weeks on-site, repairing the road with PolyLevel. Thrasher's goal was to fill all known voids and lift and level the road back to its original position while maintaining the operational status of this road. Throughout the entirety of the project, one northbound lane and two southbound lanes remained open, minimizing traffic disruption. A total of 45,000 pounds of PolyLevel 400h material was installed, bringing the uneven surface back to level. A coordinated effort between The City of Grand Island and Thrasher made the project a success, being completed in less time than the five weeks permitted and before the Nebraska State Fair.
Thrasher was proud to be selected as the contractor for this project and was thrilled to complete the project to the city of Grand Islands standards and beat the anticipated time frame. Whether it's a homeowner, municipality, DOT, or General Contractor, Thrasher's goal is to become a partner in achieving and surpassing the desired results. Give us a call today to discuss your project needs.

Ethiopia’s Drought Causing Inflationary Pressure, Risk of Public Debt Distress
The drought that Ethiopia faced in 2015 has required an emergency food aid and is now causing an inflationary pressure, a new report by the United Nations Development Program has revealed.
The report, which is expected to be released on Thursday in Addis Ababa, found out that there is also a risk of public debt distress that is caused by non- concessional borrowing and the underlining export underperformance in 2014/2015.
“Despite that, the economy showed strong growth in 2014/15 estimated at 10.2%,” the report said adding that the growth will continue in the 2016/17 period while public investment is expected to ease infrastructure bottlenecks and bolster economic structural transformation. “The urban population, growing at 3.8% per annum, is expected to reach 42.3 million by 2037, which could pose significant development challenges if not addressed.”
Minister at the Ministry of Finance and Economic Cooperation, Ahmed Shide, and other UN officials are expected to launch the Country Report at the Sheraton Addis on Thursday.

Lithuanian Airports: During Negotiations with Airlines, Arguments Based on Numbers are Most Important
Although over the course of this year ten new routes will become available from the three airports in the country, Lithuanian Airports intend to continue expanding their routes map. However, they plan to do this after conducting a survey of the country’s businessmen and taking their actual needs into consideration. Thoughts on essential flight destinations were shared by representatives of various public bodies responsible for the promotion of tourism and export and the attraction of investments to our country during a discussion organised by Lithuanian Airports.
Envy for Tallinn is Inappropriate
Representatives of Lithuanian Airports who gathered to listen to the requests of businessmen and tourism sector representatives assured that the analysis of the need for new destinations and the presentation of new destination to airlines is constantly in progress. Still, such work requires much time and effort as competition for carriers’ attention is taking place on a particularly large market and new destinations are planned 8-12 months before the flights start; therefore, the results are seen after some time has passed.
“When carriers consider new destinations, the market size, competition with other carriers for the same destinations, the average ticket price, and the income level of people are especially important to them. The airlines’ activity is a business with low profit margins and high risk. Just the price of a landing slot (a time period in an airport for an aeroplane to land and depart) in a major airport may be very high. For example, a record sum of 75 million pounds was paid last spring for a slot in London Heathrow Airport,” said Jūratė Baltrušaitytė, the Chief Commercial Officer of Lithuanian Airports.
When the participants of the discussion mentioned Tallinn, from which British Airways, a major airline in the United Kingdom, will transport passengers to London Heathrow Airport, J. Baltrušaitytė outlined the main market differences of Lithuanian Airports and Tallinn Airport. Seven flights per day depart from Lithuania for London, while in Tallinn, flights take place five times per week, including the new flights. So, the company chooses markets where competition is less severe and the risk of new flights is lower.
This year, Vilnius Airport has already announced seven new destinations: to Grenoble, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, Munich, Gothenburg, Saint Petersburg, Cologne and Nuremberg; it will be possible to fly to Naples from Kaunas Airport, and to Glasgow and Saint Petersburg from Palanga.
“This year, our growth indicators will be somewhat slower because of the runway reconstruction in Vilnius Airport; however, 2018 should be particularly good as we will grow rapidly,” said J. Baltrušaitytė, optimistically assessing the future of Lithuanian Airports.
Klaipėda Prioritises Flights to Germany and Sweden
According to the Chief Commercial Officer of Lithuanian Airports, in 2016 most passengers from the airports in Vilnius, Kaunas and Palanga travelled to Great Britain (20.3 per cent), Germany (9.2 per cent), and Norway (7.5 per cent).
However, it seems that the current number of flights to the aforementioned countries is insufficient for some businessmen. According to Viktorija Andriulienė, the Head of the Investments and Economy Department of Klaipėda City Municipality, in this centre of Western Lithuania tourists from Germany comprise 48 per cent of the overall tourist traffic, which amounts to half a million over a year.
“Now German tourists travel by ferries, buses, and cars. Another new destination requested by businessmen was Sweden. The specific city is less important, what is important is the smooth functioning of transport,” said V. Andriulienė.
However, to justify the need for specific destinations, Lithuanian Airports decided to conduct a survey of Lithuanian businessmen and representatives of the tourism sector to obtain exact numbers. “During negotiations with an airline regarding a particular destination, it is necessary to present duly substantiated market needs, historical and anticipated passenger traffic, to describe traveller segments and the required flight schedule,” explained J. Baltrušaitytė.
Dreams about Major Airports
The necessity of flights to such cities in Germany as Hamburg, Munich, Dortmund or Stuttgart was also emphasised by Tadas Jagminas, the director of the Projects Management Department of “Invest Lithuania”. However, he reminded that foreign investors also need direct flights to the main transit airports in other countries, such as Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris and Heathrow and Gatwick in London.
Mantas Zamžickas, the head of the Business Development Team of “Enterprise Lithuania”, an agency responsible for promoting entrepreneurship and export in Lithuania, noted that when new flights are considered, it is very important to think about their contribution to the development of export of our country. “That is, it is important to analyse which new flights from Lithuania would strengthen our export positions,” clarified M. Zamžickas.
