Water and Development Congress & Exhibition 2017
Sustainable solutions for emerging economies – 13 – 16 November 2017 / Buenos Aires / Argentina
To achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal 6 of ensuring the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all, will require a massive effort by the water and sanitation practitioners, especially those in low and middle income countries. We are beyond a simple model of expanded investment in infrastructure, there are numerous challenges and they are linked in often complex ways. For example, progress in the sector is significantly hampered by an overall shortage of appropriately skilled people in the workforce. IWA has published a preliminary analysis from 15 countries in 2014. Developing and emerging economies have made efforts to cope with the challenges, training, establishing competency frameworks, organizational development and implementing institutional frameworks. This is only one issue for which the fifth Water and Development Congress & Exhibition creates an opportunity to share, mutually reinforce and accelerate work in progress.
Objective of the Water and Development Congress & Exhibition 2017
The overarching goal of IWA's Water and Development Congress & Exhibition 2017 is to catalyse transformational change and support transition to new ways of managing water resources and delivering water services. The Congress is explicitly solutions-focused, based on the already well-documented diagnosis of constraints, challenges and problems in the sector. Performance indicators for these conferences include the level of effective networking, knowledge exchange and the generation of new ideas shared by the participants. Success is expressed as numbers of participants who can leave the conference with new ideas and inspired to take these back to their colleagues and own areas of work.
Transformational change is needed to transition to a water-wise world through a wise implementation of the SDGs. Participants will be asked to learn about and share solutions at four levels:
Enhancing water and sanitation services,
Strengthening the role of water in city design,
Fostering the connection between cities and basins, and
Promoting the engagement of people so they are enabled to take action.
These four levels of actions are interlinked and mutually reinforcing. The breakdown allows for the challenges to be tackled one by one, while keeping a holistic approach. Five building blocks for implementation – vision, governance, capacity, planning tools, and financing & contracting tools – will be covered throughout the different sessions, so that participants may plan their learning experience based on what they need the most.
Water Development Congress & Exhibition 2017, Sustainable solutions for emerging economies
The IWA WDCE2017 brings together a global audience of practitioners, utility managers, government officials, NGO representatives, technology providers, consultants, and media. With an expected number of over 1500, the IWA WDCE2017 will focus on:
- Political & social engagement in water issues
- Capacity building of water operators and professionals in the region
- Argentina National Water Plan: benchmark and international discussion & input
- Regional Preparation and contribution towards 2018 World Water Forum
- Raising the issue of climate change adaptation to policy makers in the region
Social Innovation Conference
Opening up to an era of Social innovation – Conference in Lisbon 27/28 November 2017
Jointly organised by the European Commission, the Portuguese Government and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation
What is Social Innovation?
"Social innovations are innovations that are social in both their ends and their means. Specifically, […] social innovations [are] new ideas (products, services and models) that simultaneously meet social needs (more effectively than alternatives) and create new social relationships or collaborations. They are innovations that are not only good for society but also enhance society's capacity to act." according to the European Commission Bureau of European Policy Advisors (BEPA, 2011, p. 9).
Simply put, the conference aims to boost social innovation in Europe because social innovation is a good, cost-effective way to advance inclusive and wealth-creating public policies, by developing a new narrative and giving this new narrative the means to take root, grow, blossom and bear fruit.
The event seeks to bring together world-class scientists in the area of social innovation, innovators, social entrepreneurs, civil society representatives, national and regional policymakers, municipal and city level actors, social innovation funders, philanthropists, venture capitalists, business angels, students, and politicians.
The conference will be structured in the following manner:
- Taking stock of social innovation achievements
- Identifying potential future opportunities brought by social innovation not only in terms of societal well-being, but also of growth, jobs, and business development for Europe
- Reviewing new trends in social innovation
- Examining the possible role of social innovation in the next generation of public policies
- Exploring funding instruments
POWER Project presented at the ICT4Water Action Plan
The usage of water is a key enabler for urban and rural industrial activities. Moreover, water quality improvement and water scarcity are important short-medium challenges to face in the EU. Effective, smarter and cost-efficient ICT solutions for water management should adjust services to the society and give new opportunities for businesses. The Action Plan 2017 related to ICT and Water management will identify actions which include activities, challenges, timelines and tools for implementation to suggest the creation of a Digital Single Market for water services.
A fully integrated smart water network does not exist in Europe or globally. The water sector faces difficulties to develop smart technology due to the fragmentation of the sector, slow adoption of new technologies, absence of SME development and no holistic vision being set out for the sector among others. This is caused by the lack of integration and standardisation of these sectors that can enable companies to operate in the water industry. Given the need for interoperability and standardisation and the need for a holistic view of the water supply chain, the water economics and the connection between water and smart cities, two roadmaps have been published in the framework of the activities of the ICT4Water cluster (roadmaps published in 2015 and 2016).

Building Leaders & Making Impact – 8th International Young Water Professionals Conference
The global event for Young Water Professionals.
The International Young Water Professionals Conference brings together 450 water, environment and related young professionals from across the globe and showcases how the young water professionals are making impact across the sector as well as offering capacity development and training sessions to further skill our future water leaders to tackle the demands from the water sector.
The conference theme is Building Leaders & Making Impact. You will be challenged to demonstrate the impact of your work, whilst workshops and learning sessions will take place during the conference in order to build our capacity as the next generation of water leaders. Rather than the conventional sub-theme session format where presentations are restricted to a single discipline, the IYWPC encourages multidisciplinary sharing and learning with sessions that make impact in some "big topics" in the water sector and beyond.
The International Young Water Professionals Conference
Following seven successful International Young Water Professional Conferences (IYWPC) in the UK, Netherlands, Singapore, USA, Australia, Hungary, Taiwan, the International Water Association (IWA) together with Water Institute of Southern Africa (WISA) and the South African Young Water Professionals (YWP-ZA) will organise the 8th edition of the International Young Water Professional Conference on 10–13 December 2017 in Cape Town, South Africa. Through the offering of technical paper sessions, topical workshops, soft skill learning sessions, networking opportunities and a career fair, the IYWPC will be the "Must Attend" event for young water professionals (YWPs), especially for those wishing to develop their career and progress further into the water sector.
Training on Water Governance and International Water Law (IWL) for improved transboundary water management in Africa
25-27 June 2018, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda
Water governance is important for the African continent, as it has the highest number of transboundary river basins and aquifers that collectively cover more than 64% of Africa's surface area and contain just over 93% of its surface water resources. These rivers are shared between two or more countries. While a common water resource is a potential source of conflict, it also has tremendous potential for cooperation as a driver for economic growth.
The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and the African Network for Basin Organizations (ANBO) have developed specific skills on transboundary water to assist countries and basin organisations develop effective management of shared water resources in Africa. The Geneva Water Hub's Platform for International Water Law brings together experts in international law from different backgrounds. Makerere University (Uganda) conducts research and is specialised in international water law. The university cooperates with governments as well as basin organisations to train staff and strengthen capacities.
As a neutral platform, Global Water Partnership (GWP) facilitates capacity development and collaboration to build synergies among various stakeholders on integrated approaches to better water resources management.
The regional training is aimed at strengthening capacities of institutions of countries and basin organisations in Africa in addressing issues related to transboundary water resources management through enhancing knowledge and skills necessary for promoting cooperation among countries.
The Global Water Partnership (GWP) is a worldwide network which for over 2 decades has successfully supported countries to implement the equitable and sustainable management of their water resources. The network has more than 3000 institutional Partners, and spans over 176 countries in 13 regions. Its regional secretariat for Eastern Africa is located in Entebbe, Uganda. http://www.gwp.org/en/GWPEastern-Africa/ and the global secretariat is in Stockholm, Sweden. www.gwp.org

POWER H2020 Industry Panel – A digital and social approach to local water issues
Many ICT services are being developed to tackle social challenges but their deployment is hampered by the fact that both social and economic actors are often reluctant to adapt to new implementation tools, institutional arrangements and regulations. Broad-based innovation is required to overcome resistance to new approaches. POWER Water Community Platforms provide a tool to support this vital engagement.
During the event, participants will be able to join the POWER project and become active members of the community and contribute to a direct participatory process. The sharing of knowledge, opinions, and best practices about different local issues will be facilitated and social innovation by the 'network effect' will be reached. We will bring together researchers from diverse backgrounds to share their views on the digital platforms in an open dialogue and we will identify strengths and barriers of this approach.
The session will be run as a roundtable, as such experts from different fields will be discussion pressing questions about each topic and will be receiving questions from the audience and also from social media.

Water Saving Week 2018
Waterwise is hosting Water Saving Week for the fourth year running. As before, there'll be an exciting range of activities to raise awareness about why we need to save water, including daily challenges, ideas and tips to help you do it. Search #watersavingweek on social media, explore the website to check out the daily themes, take on our challenges and get involved!
Each day of Water Saving Week focuses on a specific area of water use or benefit of water efficiency. Water Saving Week Packs are available for each day and include challenges, ideas and tips to help you save water in relation to that day's theme. Click Mr Splosh to take you to the relevant page.
Why save water?
The UK has less available water per person than most other European countries. London is drier than Istanbul, and the South East of England has less water available per person than some African countries. Surprised? Climate change, population increases and changes in lifestyle have led to increasing pressure being put on our water supplies. As a result, it is more important than ever that we take care with how we use water. Taking positive action now can help to ensure that there is enough water to go round, for us, for businesses and for the environment.
Save Money
Saving water saves money. Installing simple devices such as water-efficient taps and showers will save both water and energy by minimising the use of heated water. An efficient showerhead could reduce household bills by up to £120 per year. Leaky loos waste around 400 litres of clean water a day, and sometimes more – the equivalent of having an extra two people living in your house! And the way you use water also reduces bills – knock a minute of your shower, and use a water butt to collect rainwater to water the garden.
Climate Change
Our use of water and energy are closely linked. Operational emissions from the water industry account for nearly 1% of the UK's total. And a major source of emissions is from using hot water within homes. Reducing the time you shower or the amount of hot water you use for cleaning dishes therefore has a significant impact on your personal carbon footprint. Using water wisely also helps us adapt to climate change – it means the water we do have goes further.
The Environment
Half of England's rivers are over-abstracted. This puts aquatic ecosystems and wildlife at threat. Using water efficiently means that we can minimise the amount of additional water resources being taking out of our rivers and aquifers, especially as demands are rising.
Resilient Water Supplies
As water resources become scarcer, building new infrastructure like reservoirs and desalination plants, or finding new sources of supply, becomes increasingly expensive. If we save water that is otherwise wasted, we can reduce pressure on existing infrastructure and offset the need for more. Using water wisely also makes our supply more resilient against impacts from climate change, such as droughts.

Flood and Coast 2018
Flood and Coast 2018 is a unique event that advances the debate about flooding and coast erosion risk, resilience and response between government bodies and local authorities with business, major infrastructure, and asset managers, as well as affected communities. Embracing the concept of "a changing climate" the event draws on expertise and experience from different geographies – not only within the UK.
The event brings together the specialists in the supply chain that deliver technology and solutions to control the increasing risk of flood and rising sea levels around our coasts to spread best practice, discuss new ways of working and to deliver excellence in FCERM.
A three-day programme of workshops, presentations, debate and panel sessions tailored to the topics selected by the government and industry panel is accompanied by a trade show and exhibition which allows all stakeholders unrivalled networking opportunities, creating a real business benefit for the service and product providers to engage effectively with contractors, consultants and project owners.
Flood & Coast is the annual opportunity to bring together the organizations and groups who work collaboratively to reduce the risk of flooding and coastal erosion. When this wider community – the flood family – comes together we have the opportunity to learn from one another's successes, discuss how to best to manage future challenges and continue to build ever stronger networks.
This conference and exhibition is about networking, capacity building, and an enhanced understanding of how the supply chain links together to deliver successful projects for the wider benefit of flood risk reduction
Josie Bateman, Flood & Water Manager, Northamptonshire County Council
Day 1 focuses on partnerships, resilient infrastructure, evidence and innovation and working with communities. Afternoon topics will include natural flood management, international learning and working with suppliers.
Day 2 explores modern asset management, spatial planning and FCERM, working with communities, and how partnerships can realise multiple benefits. Afternoon sessions will include planning, FCERM and growth, property flood resilience, and a networking session for women working in FCERM.
Day 3 will consider FRCM future skills, as well as partnership working in incidents, working with communities and responding to climate change. Final afternoon topics include international collaboration, understanding future flood and coastal risk, and supporting communities at risk.

How can we reduce floods, droughts and water pollution?
By using the solutions we already find in nature.
World Water Day 2018
What is World Water Day?
World Water Day, on 22 March every year, is about focusing attention on the importance of water. The theme for World Water Day 2018 is 'Nature for Water' – exploring nature-based solutions to the water challenges we face in the 21st century.
Damaged ecosystems affect the quantity and quality of water available for human consumption. Today, 2.1 billion people live without safe drinking water at home; affecting their health, education and livelihoods.
Sustainable Development Goal 6 commits the world to ensuring that everyone has access to safe water by 2030, and includes targets on protecting the natural environment and reducing pollution.
Take action
Wherever you are and whatever you do on March 22, make it about nature and water.
Nature for Water
This year's theme – Nature for Water – explores how we can use nature to overcome the water challenges of the 21st century.
Environmental damage, together with climate change, is driving the water-related crises we see around the world. Floods, drought and water pollution are all made worse by degraded vegetation, soil, rivers and lakes.
When we neglect our ecosystems, we make it harder to provide everyone with the water we need to survive and thrive.
Nature-based solutions have the potential to solve many of our water challenges. We need to do so much more with 'green' infrastructure and harmonize it with 'grey' infrastructure wherever possible. Planting new forests, reconnecting rivers to floodplains, and restoring wetlands will rebalance the water cycle and improve human health and livelihoods.

What's Killing U.S. Big Game Hunters?
"Don't set yourself up for an injury, or worse"
| Hidden dangers: sudden cardiac death
"With age comes additional risk factors that people don't think about since, for the most part, they've been hunting since they were kids."
By Melissa Shutter – Blood is usually a good sign — for a hunter, anyway.
But when the critter it's coming from — the one you just sent a crossbow bolt through — hightails it across miles of open prairie and eventually fades from view, then it most definitely is not.
I speak from experience. It happened to me last month while on an archery antelope hunt in western Nebraska.
After connecting on a 65-yard shot, the animal took off across one field after another, eventually dipping out of sight –- leaving me sweat-soaked, winded and mumbling cuss words.
Hunting can be a messy business. And as I watched his white rump disappear over that last rise, I knew the real work hadn't even begun.
Hidden dangers: sudden cardiac death
While I was prepared for the physical demands that lay ahead, I was not prepared for the less-than-perfect location my bolt had found on the antelope's body, nor the added stress the resulting chase had on me both physically and mentally.
Dr. Thomas Haldis, a Sanford Health cardiologist, said most hunters venture afield unprepared for both.
"In general, hunters are worried about exactly what you'd expect: gun safety, difficult terrain, encounters with wild animals. But they seldom think they can't handle a hunt," he said. "Plus, with age comes additional risk factors that people don't think about since, for the most part, they've been hunting since they were kids."
Those risk factors include everything from high blood pressure and lung disease to diabetes, coronary artery disease, and other heart issues.
And, according to Dr. Haldis, most hunters at risk of a cardiac event don't prepare their bodies appropriately before heading into the woods or out to belly crawl across the plains.
An ounce of prevention …
What are the best ways to keep health issues from screwing up this season's hunting plans?
"First and foremost, a little preventative care, including frequent checkups with your heath care provider and staying active in the off-season, can go a long way," Dr. Haldis said. "An inexperienced climber wouldn't choose to take on Mount Everest without training first. Same goes for hunters. Don't let hunting be the only physical activity you get during the year. Make sure your lifestyle is commensurate with what you'll be doing in the field."
An important item to note, since — as you'll remember — hunts seldom go exactly according to plan.
"What if you wind up in a pickle? What if your ATV breaks down, you must chase a wounded animal or drag a deer out yourself? Hunters should be prepared for the unexpected," Dr. Haldis said.
This means starting an exercise program six to eight weeks prior to opening day of your favorite season, potentially undergoing stress tests at the doctor's office and being aware of physical warning signs.
"First and foremost, know what your body can handle. If you're tired, short of breath or in pain, stop and rest. Don't push through that stuff. Dizziness, exhaustion, chest pain, leg pain and rapid pulse are other signs to be wary of, since any could result in a cardiac event," Dr. Haldis said.
Just one more reason to be prepared, take it easy and pay attention to your body.
"One way to induce heart attack or sudden cardiac death is to overstress the heart, period. Blocked vessels can overwhelm the heart and make it work harder. Don't set yourself up for an injury, or worse," Dr. Haldis said.
Dr. Haldis also recommends that those who are out of shape or at higher risk for heart-related issues never hunt alone … Read more.

Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez: He's Hoping She'll Say He's Her 'Official' Boyfriend
We're hearing that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are super close to making things official! So what's stopping them!? Here's the details!
If you're a Jelena fan, then last week was absolutely astounding! Justin Bieber, 23, and his ladylove Selena Gomez, 25, were inseparable and they weren't keeping their romance to themselves! Now, once again, they've disappeared from the public eye. But that doesn't mean there's trouble brewing! We're hearing that the rumored couple are attempting to slow down and not get ahead of themselves, especially with their fans throughout the world watching! However, rumor has it they are close to officially getting back together! Head here for tons more pics of Justin and Selena together!
"They are great and very happy," an insider tells People. "It just got too crazy last week with all the attention." The source revealed that their decision to take their relationship out of the public eye was an effort to take a lot of the stress out of their relationship. As devoted fans know, too much attention has taken a serious toll on the "Love Yourself" crooner in the past. "Justin canceled his tour to take care of his mental health and he wants to continue to focus on this. He didn't like the chaos," they stated, adding, "They agreed to stay more low-key."
A second source revealed to the mag that they aren't together "but it's getting close." OMG! "They just backed off a little from being out there and are being a bit more low-key," the second insider revealed. It sounds like it's only a matter of time before Jelena officially returns to our lives! Cannot. Wait.
HollywoodLifers, what do YOU think? Are they about to become an official couple or no? Tell us your thoughts and theories in the comments section below!

Yesterday a Manhattan jury wound up almost a week of deliberations and rendered a $3.3 million verdict in favor of the 12 named plaintiffs against Novartis AG. The class of 5,600 female sales representatives in the United States will also be able to continue a second phase of trial, and prove punitive damages. The women complained that since 2002 they were kept out of higher management, and according to their lawyer, "tolerated a culture of sexism, a boys' club atmosphere." One woman testified that her boss told her to get an abortion after she reported she was pregnant; others talked about managers who took male sales representatives to strip clubs.
This case represents the second largest employment class action on behalf of women, after the Walmart case recently certified to go forward. The jury found that Novartis had engaged in systematic gender-based discrimination, paying women less than similar male employees, failing to promote women to managerial positions, and treating pregnant women less favorably.
The punitive damage phase will begin today, with the jury being told that the value of the company is $9.5 billion.

As parents of a child with special needs, you are all too familiar with the challenges that can arise in the creation of safe and fun play areas for your special child. So, it is important that you educate yourself on the importance of playground safety rules. However, it may seem like a daunting task at first, but here are a few tips to help you get started.
Safety playground rules must always be made in consultation with the child with special needs, and the child must be informed about these rules before they are created. 은꼴사이트 In fact, it should be the responsibility of the parent or guardian to create this rule, because the child must not be left out in the dark when making rules for the special needs children. You need to ensure that your child understands the rules and the consequences of their actions.
Also, to make sure that a safe play area is created, it is essential that no one with mental disabilities or physical disabilities get access to it. However, this can be achieved without further confrontation by fitting the area with suitable barriers, such as outdoor electrical outlets. It is also important that the ground is soft enough to allow for the movement of the bodies of the disabled children.
One of the playground safety rules is that all equipment in the area must be clearly labeled. For example, play sets, swing sets, climbing structures, rope bridges, swing bars, hanging ropes, climbing ladders, and walkways must be clearly marked. These can be anything from simple safety signs to fully colored and custom made structures. The only problem with this is that you need to have them in place and ready for the child with special needs, but it will be easier to create these if you have already created a theme in the room.
When it comes to the number of people allowed in the area, playground safety rules often fall under the category of limited access. The number of people in the space can be one person or more. It is best to have a multi-purpose area, with a doorway between the areas, to prevent accidents. If more than one person is allowed in the area, make sure that those allowed in the area are trained on how to avoid accidents.
Safety playground rules need to be given great attention, especially when there are children in the area. Even though a child with special needs can easily make use of basic tools, accidents are still possible. So, consider installing special gear in the area, including ropes, harnesses, sandbags, and safety pads.
It is also important to make sure that the safety playground rules are easily remembered. Make sure the rules are written in letters or numbers that can easily be read by small children. If it is written in the same size, then it is very easy to remember.
All playground safety rules should include the number of people allowed, and the purpose of the activity. This helps parents with special needs understand what they are allowed to do and when. This also ensures that there is proper supervision for everyone during the activity.
It is also important to make sure that the safety playground rules are easily understood by the special needs child. Make sure the rules are clear and can be understood by everyone. Also, ensure that any special needs for the child with special needs are considered and incorporated in the rules.
In today's world, being able to make a difference is more important than ever. Therefore, when you make a playground safety rule, it should be in accordance with the current law, and most importantly, should not be too hard for a child with special needs to understand. Safety rules should be clear, easy to follow, and easily understandable.
Special needs can be very difficult to understand. You can refer to a specialist website that deals with special needs children or seek out a trusted parent in your area. Having this information available will be important in your child's education.

Creating The Perfect GiftNovember 11, 2014
A customer shared this story about a ceramic piece she wanted to present to her 90 year old father who is in a nursing home. You see he loves Moosehead Lake, his fishing memories and this ceramic reminder. He had made a repair to it long ago, but the piece still needed a fishing pole. Pam and John Goodwin supplied the fish pole, but don't tell John he's a doll though. And this customer added a pair of Linda Packard's fish earrings as an extra touch. Plus, I love the picture behind the fisherman. Great job, Kathryn.

| 2.1°C Belfast
More than a third of young people in Ireland are drinking sugary soft drinks most days of the week, research shows.
Men and people from poorer backgrounds are also more likely to regularly consume colas and lemonades blamed for feeding the country's growing obesity problem, the study reveals.
The findings will be a key focus at a cross-border conference in Belfast on Tuesday to mark World Obesity Day.
Dr Joanna Purdy, of the Institute of Public Health in Ireland, will tell the conference that figures from the Revenue Commissioners show more than 400 million litres of soft drinks are downed across the country every year.
"World Health Organisation guidelines state that free sugars should comprise less than 10% of our daily energy intake while reductions below 5% - around six teaspoons a day - would provide additional health benefits," she said.
"Consuming one 330 millilitre can of a sugar-sweetened drink could take a child over their recommended daily sugar intake."
The conference will hear that:
:: More than a third of 15 to 24-year-olds and more than one quarter of 25 to 44-year-olds drink sugary soft drinks every day or most days.
:: Some 58% of all those aged 15 and over consume soft drinks.
:: Almost half of 13-year-olds surveyed said they had a soft drink in the previous 24 hours - 53% of boys and 42% of girls.

If you're injured in a motor vehicle accident, your immediate attention should turn to your health and the steps you can take to make a full recovery. As time allows, you also need to contact your car insurance company to file a claim.
With so much going on in your life, it's easy to make mistakes when filing a claim. Some of the things you want to avoid include:
- Giving a recorded statement: After an accident, your agent may ask if they can record all conversations they have with you. Politely decline, as you don't want to say something that will harm your ability to receive the compensation due to you. Just the same, avoid giving a written statement.
- Don't sign anything: This is a common mistake that you can easily make if you're not paying attention to what you're doing. If you're asked to sign something, review it in great detail to ensure that you understand exactly what it is.
- Don't accept the first offer: Your car insurance company would love for you to accept less than what's actually owed to you. If you make this mistake, you may not have any course of action for obtaining the compensation you're entitled to.
- Don't ignore time limits: Even though you're injured, you only have so much time to file a car insurance claim. If you're unable to do this on your own or require assistance, ask a loved one to step in.
- Neglecting to review your policy: It's critical to understand the details of your policy, including how much coverage you have. This makes it much easier to protect your legal rights in Arkansas, as you know what you're entitled to.
It's easy to fall into the trap of letting your car insurance agent guide you through the claims process. While it's okay to rely on this person for guidance, don't put all of your trust in them. Remember, they don't work for you. They work for the insurance company. They'll do whatever they can to save money, even if it means you receive less.
A car accident is a scary time in your life. Take the right steps when filing a car insurance claim, as the compensation you receive can make life easier on you.
Visit our website for more information on car insurance claims, car accidents and how to protect yourself.

Criminal law
Module abstract
Can we claim duress in a murder case? Or in a murder case as a crime against humanity? Why is dolus eventualis (a mens rea standard) sufficient to trigger the criminal responsibility for murder in South Africa and other Romano/Germanic legal systems but not in the criminal law of England and Wales? Is 'brainwashing' a legal defence in any of the major legal systems of the world? Does it amount to diminished responsibility, insanity or duress? What are the constituent elements of murder under domestic law, as crime against humanity and as the crime of genocide? Is there specific technique or method international judges have to adopt in their search for general principles of law recognised by the major legal systems of the world? In answering these questions you will critically engage with research outputs as part of your research-rich learning, drawing from Northumbria's extensive on-line databases and library facilities. You will be assessed by researched assignment (100%) which will consolidate your understanding of international and comparative criminal law and develop your skills of critical analysis.

We are seeing a lot of innovations and features getting added to transaction services in India. And now, Govt of India has introduced a new method to withdraw cash from ATMs. Now, you can withdraw money from ATMs with your mobile phone only. There is no need to carry your cards anymore if you did not like that. Your mobile and a UPI app will be more than enough to withdraw cash from ATMs without the need of Credit, Debit or ATM Cards.
Problems of Using Cards at ATMs
From more than a decade, Indians are using ATM cards to withdraw money from ATMs. But there are several problems with that. In ATMs, there might be other persons too. So, there is always a risk of revealing your Card details or ATM PIN to others.
On the other hand, in the past few years, we have seen a lot of cases about ATM card copying/data-theft. Many bad people use to attach extra equipment at ATMs so that they can read other's card details and make a copy of the card data; they can easily copy the Card strip data too. So, your money is not safe anymore.
But this new feature will allow you to use your smartphone and without any Credit, Debit or ATM card, you can quickly withdraw money from ATMs. However, the traditional method will be continued without any change.
Why Using UPI App at ATMs will be Safer than Using Cards?
I have already described why using Cards at ATM can risk your bank balance. Sometimes, there are too many scratches on your card which actually make it difficult for ATMs to read the data. Apart from that, we carry our smartphones more than we carry our cards, isn't it?
Because Phones are closer to us than cards, it will be effortless to withdraw money whenever we want, even if we forget to carry our cards.
But, the most significant benefit is, your data will be secured 100%, and nobody will be able to know your any Card details such as card number, name on the card, CVV and ATM Pin. This feature will show up a QR code on the ATM's screen, and you just need to scan it with your bank app installed on your Phone. That's it. Your phone will automatically authenticate the request and money will start flowing from ATM. How cool is that!
UPI App ATM Withdrawal Process
You can easily use any UPI app and connect it to your UPI account. And then, it will be able to scan the QR codes given by the ATMs. UPI actually makes the bank integration part very easy and straightforward and you can start using this new feature almost instantly. Just visit an ATM, scan the QR code, enter the amount, withdraw money. That's it.
How to Withdraw Money from ATM Using UPI App by Scanning a QR Code?
- First of all, visit your nearest ATM
- The ATM will show two option 'with card' or 'without card' transaction
- Select 'without card' option
- You will see UPI menu and the amount to be withdrawn
- Choose the amount and the ATM will display a QR code
- Use BHIM or other UPI Apps to scan the QR code
- Now confirm the transaction
- That's it. The money will be withdrawn.
You will also receive an SMS from your bank confirming the transaction.
When you'll be able to Use UPI App to Withdraw Cash?
Though the system has been already developed by AGS Transact Technologies, the feature hasn't been launched yet. However, all the banks which are approached by this company, are excited about this feature. Once the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) approves it, you will be able to use this feature at your local ATMs.
So, what do you think about this new concept of withdrawing money from ATMs using mobile and UPI app without any cards? Will you become a fan of it? Or you'll still like using Cards? Please let our readers know your views on this in the comment section below.

Why no SSL ? — Varnish version 4.0.0 documentation
Poul-Henning Kemp details why Varnish doesn't do SSL — basically due to the quality and complexity of open-source SSL implementations:
There is no other way we can guarantee that secret krypto-bits do not leak anywhere they should not, than by fencing in the code that deals with them in a child process, so the bulk of varnish never gets anywhere near the certificates, not even during a core-dump.Now looking pretty smart, post-Heartbleed.

The Park Slope Food Coop was doing a brisk business on Saturday night.
Outside the front door, shoppers secured their carts and paired off with "walkers," whose job is to escort shoppers home and then wheel the Coop-owned carts back to the store.
It's become a distinctive Park Slope sight: the heavy-duty cart jangles along the sidewalk, accompanied by a shopper in civilian clothes and a Coop escort wearing an orange mesh work vest with reflective trimming.
Here's what the experience sounds like on an uneven patch of sidewalk on Union Street:
Jangling all the way home
On Saturday evening, we tagged along for the walk home and asked shoppers what they were most excited about in their carts. Here's what a few of them said:
Dr. Cow Cashew Nut Cheese: "It's creamy; it's heavenly"
Robert's Crunchy Corn Sticks: "They just taste good"
Vitamix: "Ride that baby" for health

Modern brick meets Georgian
Location: Beaver Row, Dublin, Ireland
Status: Tender
Our clients bought a handsomely proportioned Georgian bungalow in Dublin, Ireland and wanted to extend the property into the large rear garden to provide more generous living accommodation.
3|10 Studio have added a new master bedroom with en-suite and fabulous new kitchen, living and dining spaces to the existing residence.
A few key design ideas:
- The design evolved to create a staggered plan, orientated to catch the midday and evening sun, that allows all principal living spaces to be physically connected to an outside space, be it terrace or garden.
- A clear visual line is created that allows you to see right through the house to the rear garden from the moment you step in the front door.
- A flat ceiling with large rooflights is proposed over the kitchen and dining whilst the roof kicks up at a slope over the main living space, rising with the lie of the garden beyond.
- A fireplace is located on the rear wall with large windows either side overlooking the back garden. This placement of the home-fire at the heart of the living space resonates with the original layout when the Georgian cottages were first built
Ceiling heights throughout match the generous proportion of the existing Georgian rooms whilst the living room ceiling lifts up even higher at the end of the extension and draws the eye down the length of the garden and up to the sky.
Next Steps
Planning permission recently awarded.
Detailed design underway for intended start on site in 2019.
This is the second phase of development for this property, the first being a substantial garden room / studio at the rear of the garden which was recently completed.

International Shipping Information Page
for more information about international shipments. We also ship to US military addresses (APO, FPO). We ship based on the shipping weight of the products ordered. We found this to be the most accurate way to obtain true shipping costs. Keep in mind that the shipping weight may be higher than the actual weight of the order because shipping weight takes in to account the dimensional weight (how much space the package takes up) of the shipment. For example a large plastic crate may only weigh a few pounds but it will ship at a much higher weight because of its size. All carriers use dimensional weight.
The Organization-Store.com understands that shipping cost are a concern for our customers so we try to have accurate shipping weights on our products. We have found that having accurate weights and shipping based on those weights is the best way to obtain fair and correct shipping costs. Unlike many sites we do not artificially inflate our prices to cover shipping costs. You are always guaranteed the lowest price on anything we sell.

Shipping Methods
The Organization-Store.com uses both Fed Ex and USPS as our primary small package carriers. We reserve the right to use which ever carrier or method we feel is the most cost effective method to have your package arrive in the time you specified in your shippng choice.
The Organization-Store.com attempts to ship all in stock orders received by 2:00 pm Eastern Time that same day. For expedited shipping (2nd Day or Next Day Air) we guarantee to ship in stock orders the same day if the order is received by 2:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. Expedited orders are not moved or delivered over weekends or holidays, so those days should not be counted for the expected delivery time. Expedited shipping to Hawaii and Alaska takes one additional day to deliver than the chosen shipping method indicates (i.e. 2nd Day Air takes 3 days, and Next Day Air 2 days).
Please keep in mind that the 2:00 pm same day shipping for in stock orders shipping ground is a goal that we hit most of the time but is not a guarantee. We can not ship the same day for any order where all items ordered are not in stock, or the item will be drop shipped from our vendor. Also if you provide us with a questionable or inaccurate shipping address or we will have to contact you regarding your payment your shipment will be delayed. In these cases the faster you respond to our phone call or email the faster we can ship your order.
LTL Shipping
The Organization Store sells some items that are just too big or heavy to ship via our small parcel carriers like Fed Ex. These items are identified on the individual item pages and require us to use an LTL (less than truckload) carrier. These carriers use a left-gate to assist in delivery but will only deliver to the curb near your home or business. If you would like the item delivered inside (first floor only) you may purchase inside delivery for $100.00. More complicated inside deliveries or to floors other than ground level will require additional charges which can be quoted before delivery. LTL carriers require you to be home for delivery so they will call in advance to set a delivery appointment.
International Shipping
As stated above we ship world wide to over 200 countries. All customers outside the United States are responsible for any additional duties, taxes or charges assessed by their governments. If you would like a shipment to Canada or a US territory, please see our
Shipping Rate Table
Drop Shipping
Drop ship means that an order, or part of an order will be shipped to you directly from our vendor. This is usually done to save shipping costs, and to help keep our prices low. For drop shipped items you will not see a quantity under the shipped column on your invoice. Some drop shipped items are special order, and therefore are not returnable. These items will be marked on the item page.
Incorrect Address
Customers are responsible for providing us with their correct shipping address. Fed Ex charges us a fee of $15.00 for all address corrections including incorrect or missing business names. We must pass this fee on to you if you provide inaccurate shipping information on your order so please double check your address before you complete your order.
Delivery Time
The following delivery timetable map is an estimate only, and applies only to FedEx Ground Shipping. USPS shipping may not adhere to this chart. By the beginning of December we will put a countdown clock on the site for ground holiday shipments identifying how much time you have to order to receive your shipment by Christmas. Factors such as severe weather conditions and holidays should be considered when calculating Ground shipping time.
As addressed above, in stock orders placed before 2:00pm ET will likely ship the same day. Orders placed after 2:00pm ET should ship the following business day. Please consider this when placing your order.

text: Like many grooms, Mr Velappan Vellayan experienced pre-wedding jitters on the eve of his big day. The former coffee shop helper did not sleep much and rattled off Tamil songs to calm his nerves. But unlike most grooms, Mr Velappan is 71 years old. The nursing home resident married his childhood friend, Madam Savithiri Kaliappan, 72, on Friday. They tied the knot at Sree Narayana Mission Nursing Home in Yishun, where Mr Velappan has stayed for the past 11 years. "We were both alone. And after all these years, we found happiness in each other," he said. Their decade-long courtship touched many when it was reported by Tamil Murasu. Mr Velappan and Madam Savithiri have known each other since the 1960s. She lived in Silat Road while he lived in nearby Henderson. Over the years, they moved on with their separate lives. In 1973, Madam Savithiri got married and later had a son, from whom she is now estranged. Since her husband's death in 2009, the former administrative assistant has been living alone in her rental flat. Mr Velappan got married in 1974 but divorced his wife years later. He has a daughter who is married, but they have not been in contact for more than a decade. He worked as a helper at coffee shops and restaurants and as a road sweeper. In 2004, the two childhood friends crossed paths while participating in a skills training workshop in Little India. Over coffee after classes, they reminisced about their kampung days and soon fell in love. By then, they were in their mid-50s. Over the years, Madam Savithiri has been a pillar of strength for Mr Velappan. When he was bedridden and hospitalised, Madam Savithiri was by his side. "She is my god. She saved me when I was at my lowest point in life," he said. "I had no one in life. My health was getting worse." When his condition worsened, she admitted him to Sree Narayana Mission Nursing Home in 2008. Every Sunday, without fail, she would make a one-hour bus journey from her flat in Bukit Merah to the nursing home to visit him. "She was the only one who visited me at the home," said Mr Velappan. "We became inseparable, like glue." Madam Savithiri, too, found comfort in Mr Velappan. "Since my husband passed away, I felt very alone," she said. "Now my life has found its meaning again." During a visit to the nursing home last year, Madam Savithiri mooted the idea of marriage. Mr Velappan excitedly agreed. On Friday, the couple got married in a simple ceremony attended by 150 nursing home staff, residents and community partners. Also present were MPs for Nee Soon GRC: Minister for Home Affairs and Law K. Shanmugam, and Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Education and Social and Family Development Faishal Ibrahim. In a small room at the nursing home, Mr Velappan put a golden necklace around his bride's neck, symbolising their marriage according to the Hindu tradition. The sight of Mr Velappan standing next to his bride touched many of the staff at the nursing home. For the past three months, the staff worked hard to get Mr Velappan, who has weak knees, to walk again, instead of relying on his wheelchair. Social work associate Illamaran Kalaiselvi, 47, who has been caring for Mr Velappan over the past nine months, said: "I am happy that I have done so much more than my duty in social work," she said. As the nursing home residents bid farewell to the couple, Mr Velappan's closest friend, Madam Vanita Metta, cried. "I will miss Velappan and Savithiri so much," she said. Over the past years, Madam Vanita and Mr Velappan would often spend their days sitting by the entrance of the home, greeting visitors. After the wedding, the couple moved into Madam Savithiri's rental flat. The nursing home's chief executive, Mr S. Devendran, said this was the first time it had hosted a wedding. "In the three years that I have been the CEO of this nursing home, we have said goodbye to our residents when they passed on. Today we are saying goodbye to a resident who is moving on to a new phase in his life," he said. "This is a rare occurrence. So each time such an occurrence takes place, it's for us that one starfish moment and we celebrate it." Source: The Straits Times © Singapore Press Holdings Limited. Reproduced with permission.
