doublecrossinc had een nieuw illustratie of graphics ontwerp nodig en lanceerde daarom een wedstrijd op 99designs.
Een winnaar werd gekozen uit17 ontwerpen ingezonden door6 freelance designers.
WREK Radio / wrek.fm
Online Podcast Network specializing in music and entertainment.
Basically, I'm looking to create a logo for WREK Radio. I created the contest under the Illustration category instead of the logo category as what I'm looking for is a bit more involved than the average logo and would require heavier illustration skills. I know basically what I want. Originally, I found the design I wanted online but when I reached out to the designer to try and purchase the rights to the image, I never received a response. The last time I checked, the designer's site was no longer up so I officially gave up trying to reach out. I am attaching the image. It doesn't have to (and probably shouldn't) be a 1 for 1 copy, but I want the same concept, with the following considerations:
1) I love the color scheme that was used, it's not pastel but it's not super bright, not sure how it was done, I'm open to other styles but currently I'm leaning towards a similar colorization style (with a white background though).
2) The image is loosely in the shape of a triangle, I would like to continue this shape as I would like a radio tower added to the image, obviously it should be busted up a bit from the wreck and a couple of the radio antenna legs should be poking through some of the wreckage.
3) Let's get rid of the alien-robot in the background.
4) The design is obviously European-centric (cop car, wide license plate, etc.). As my company is based in the United States I would like the image to reflect an American look. This primarily relates to the two main cars in the foreground and the 'next stop' on the bus.
- I currently have no preferences on the font, which would read: "WREK Radio" and maybe wrek.fm, somewhere visible but less prominent, maybe as part of the image, like on the license plate or on the bus sign...
Initially I'd like to focus on the design itself. Once that is more or less narrowed down then I'd like to start incorporating the font design.

Featured News | September 8, 2014
From the Teton County Public Library:
Across three continents, 10 countries and 45 states, and for over 2 million people, Antonio Sacre has told stories. On Wednesday, Sept. 17, he will take the stage at Teton County Library's Ordway Auditorium with a truly bilingual performance that bridges diverse cultures with humor and story. Sacre will also be presenting bilingual stories in the schools as part of our month-long Latino Heritage Celebration.
It doesn't matter whether you speak English, Spanish or both; Sacre's storytelling artfully interweaves both languages. His fourth book, "My Name is Cool: Stories from a Cuban-Irish-American Storyteller," draws on his personal history growing up bilingual and bicultural. Born in Boston to a Cuban father and an Irish-American mother, Sacre intertwines the Spanish language, Cuban family, and Irish humor into tales full of laughter, inspiration, tradition, and family. A book signing with books available for purchase will follow his performance.
Sacre is an internationally touring, award-winning performance artist based in Los Angeles. The "Village Voice" calls Sacre "Remarkable . . . a serious artist" and "Backstage" describes Sacre as "powerful, hilariously honest." His shows have garnered numerous awards, including Critics' Choices in San Francisco, L.A., New York, and Chicago.
For more on Sacre, visit:
The program is free and open to the community with support from donations, large and small, to the Teton County Library Foundation.

The Austin Lyric Opera Guild pulled out all the stops for their Salute Bacchus Wine Dinner and Auction this past Saturday…and it showed.
The evening hit all the high notes. From the modernist abode in the sky where sponsors were summoned to a chic, pre-reception cocktail party, to the evening's stellar entertainment, and indeed to the way the ballroom at the Four Seasons Austin had been flipped on its usual head by putting the stage to one end of the room…forcing the tables into a pattern one doesn't typically see in this space. Not to mention the multiple courses of hand-selected wines that accompanied dinner. Splendid would be an understatement.
The wine element was no accident, as the evening was mounted in honor of David Jabour…he of Twin Liquors fame and familiarity! Your astute reporter would be hard pressed to name an event in Austin that Jabour or his company hasn't sponsored at one time or another over the years. A slide show looking back at Jabour's decades in the community was preceded by a performance from internationally-acclaimed tenor Stephen Costello, who wowed the crowd with his playful table-hopping, and luxurious voice.

Trophies. It's all about trophies.February 3, 2010
It's just a stupid sports commercial. Or is it? Amongst the boasts and wishful thinking of others, Captain Fantastic tells us what we are in it for. Trophies. In case some of you forgot, it's something that is being handed to the individual or team that goes right to the top, vanquishes whatever stands in the way and keeps the composure when it matters the most. Whenever a team does it, the fans go mental and that gives players the positive buzz as well. Winning stuff breeds winners, not winning squat and being also rans doesn't. Yes, it's that simple: it creates something called 'winning culture', where only 100% commitment is enough and failure is not tolerated.
Our Glorious Leader, after not delivering any silverware for a good few years still has the cheek to prioritise the trophies he wants to win – Carling Cup is for kids and FA Cup is just a nuisance. It seems like – once again – AW has his eyes firmly set on the Champions League and the Prem. Now don't get me wrong: it's really commendable to have ambition and aim high. Then again, is it realistic? The table doesn't lie: we are 6 point off the top, we play leaders next and the show our boys managed on Sunday doesn't exactly inspire confidence ahead of the short trip to Stamford Bridge, if you take their proud home record into consideration. However, now that we seem down and out with no one giving us a chance in hell, we may go there and win. Barring some ridiculously lucky draw, I wouldn't count my chickens as far as putting our hands on the Ol' Big Ears is concerned either. Not to mention that our next opponents may have other ideas too: Porto smashed Sporting 5:2 yesterday, just to let you know.
Carling Cup is referred to by some as 'Mickey Mouse Cup', 'Milk Cup', 'Worthless Cup' and the like. Try telling that to fans who belted out 'We're going to Wemberly' after beating their respective opponents in the semis. Sticking to your principles is all fine and dandy, but how is letting our young players getting spanked by Man City in the quarters beneficial to them in any way, shape or form? Sure, it should teach them humility and give them a benchmark to aim at, but it is also dangerous for their mentality: being played off the park and losing 3:0 is not good, no matter what sort of excuses you can come up with. Plus, if you effectively throw the game in the quarters, it doesn't do the senior squad any good either as far as their belief in the manager and the like is concerned.
As for the other cup we have deliberately dropped out of, I think I have said enough in the post I wrote the other day. What needs to be pointed out is that our most prized asset and skipper asked AW to play in that fixture, clearly being the one who wanted to win it more than Arsene. 'It's all about trophies', he says in the above commercial and you could be excused for thinking that he may start considering his options if we finish this season empty handed. Fighting for the Champions League existence in order to balance the books doesn't sound too exciting when you are an exceptional young footballer with more realistic chance of winning stuff someplace else, it's the pensioner's job. Given that Cesc publicly voiced his opinion that reinforcements were absolutely necessary in order to compete (some will say it's a poor attitude to have, I will say it's honest), our manager's lack of activity in the transfer market is baffling.
I am not a doom monger, just a very, very angry fan. Some will say it is not our divine right to demand trophies and I concur: it's not, but demanding ambition, dedication and giving them all a damn good go certainly is…
Thank you for reading!

In a nutshell
Easy access to data on business cycles is vital for the economy as well as for policy-makers and researchers.
The Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research has developed a chronology of Kuwait's various spells of growth cycles of recession and expansions, together with the paths of the output gap and annual growth rates.
Business cycle dating is conducive to better planning by the private sector and better policy design by economic and financial gatekeepers of the economy.
Nearly all countries undergo good economic times followed by more difficult times. During periods of prosperity, incomes typically rise; people find abundant and attractive employment opportunities; and businesses enjoy growth in their sales and profits, which encourages them to invest more and build more enterprises and start-ups.
In contrast, during periods of hardship, incomes recede; jobs become scarcer as many people chase a limited number of job openings; while businesses contract and shops dismiss workers, causing rising unemployment and an increase in the number and proportion of the underprivileged, poor individuals and their families.
In ancient Egypt, for example, people experienced seven years of good weather and bountiful harvests followed by seven years of drought and famine. In modern times, countries that depend heavily on fishing and agricultural crops are often subject to periods of economic peaks and valleys that are dubbed 'expansion' and 'recession'. These might be because of bad weather and poor crop harvest, or insufficient demand in local and/or export markets.
In economic jargon, these successive periods of good and bad times are called business cycles. The duration of business cycles depends on the underlying reasons that trigger them, such as drought conditions or the extent of a demand contraction in export markets, for example, markets for crude oil.
Analysis of business cycles is vital for the economy as well as for policy-makers and students and researchers. As Joseph Schumpeter (1939) remarked, 'Cycles are not like tonsils, separate things that might be treated by themselves, but are, like the beat of the heart, of the essence of the organism that displays them.'
Kuwait, which depends heavily on oil revenues from export markets, does not have an official chronology of business cycles – one that determines the dates of the onset of recession (trough) and expansion (peak).
Such a chronology, which tracks and projects dates of expansions and contractions of overall economic activity, might be produced by one or more of the key economic institutions – the Central Statistical Bureau, the Central Bank of Kuwait or the Capital Market Authority – or by any of the country's research institutions.
Absent too is any formal apparatus that monitors and anticipates the performance of the economy over the near-term horizon – the next six to nine months – in a systematic manner with periodicity and frequency that are announced and known to policy-makers and business leaders in advance.
In many countries, policy-makers, business leaders and forecasters can easily access data on historical economic and financial cycles as well as the current state of the economy in real-time. Such access helps agencies and authorities alike to devise appropriate policy responses and reorient action plans.
It is conducive to better business planning strategies by private sector leaders and for designing shock mitigation policy mixes by economic and financial gatekeepers of the economy, including central banks and the banking sector – and in the case of Kuwait, the Capital Market Authority, the Kuwait Chamber of Commerce, the Ministry of Finance and the Supreme Development and Planning Council.
The Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR) has initiated the process of bridging this gap by amassing and examining the properties of a large compendium of officially published data that vary in length and frequency. KISR then subjected the alternative data series to a suite of academic and business approaches, and analytically blended them to construct a provisional benchmark chronology of business cycles in Kuwait.
KISR then applied statistical analysis to the set monthly and quarterly data to gauge tentative business cycle dates that could be developed and validated further for application as signals of the future state of the Kuwaiti economy.
KISR is deploying data on a large number of series, including real estate prices and traded property size according to location, as well as data on various gauges of interest rates according to terms that cover the period from the start of 2000 to the end of 2016. Other monthly data series date back to the mid-1960s and early 1970s.
The analysed datasets also cover Kuwait's exports and imports, government revenues and expenditures, the industrial production index (and similar indices for Kuwait's major trade partners), the number and trade volume of stock market transactions, and banking credit loans to key sectors including the trade sector, the construction sector and the manufacturing sector, as well as personal and total banking loans.
In terms of methodology, KISR followed standard techniques (Hamilton, 1989) to arrive at business cycle recession probabilities and recession and expansion duration. In addition to annual and quarterly growth cycles, the analysis covers other time series data, such as oil exports, foreign exchange and the real effective exchange rate dating back to the start of 1965. KISR also used a model to generate a composite coincidental economic indicator for Kuwait.
In parallel, KISR research pursued the Conference Board's (2013, 2015) approach to establishing and validating composite leading and coincidental economic indicators for Kuwait. A standard dating of turning points was also applied along with the growth cycle approach to generate tentative chronological order of cyclical patterns in Kuwait (KISR, 2018).
We followed standard approaches by considering the industrial production index as a proxy gauge of coincidental activity in the Kuwaiti economy. KISR validated this approach by growth cycles derived from annual GDP series covering about 67 years, from 1950 to 2016, to detect provisional economic downturns using a combination of growth cycles and output gap.
The timing of the various spells of growth cycles of recession and expansions, together with the paths of the output gap and annual growth rates, are portrayed in Figure 1. The grey areas indicate the timing of economic downturns or recession as derived from the growth cycles analysis.
Being somewhat novel and differentiated, the current research attempt should be construed as only the beginning of what we hope to be a successful effort to fine tune its amassed data, along with the blend of analytical infrastructures, in a way that serves future research and business needs in Kuwait.

FORT CARSON - A year can seem like forever when you're a 10-year-old, or 7-year-old or 5-year-old girl waiting for your Daddy to come home from Iraq.
And so it seemed to Elizabeth, Trinity and Jamieleigh Roberts early Tuesday as they waited in the predawn hours for Staff Sgt. Eldon Roberts to march into the Fort Carson Special Events Center - finally home from a year's deployment with the 2nd Brigade Combat Team of the 2nd Infantry Division.
The vivacious dark-haired girls laughed and huddled around their mother, Jennifer, as reporters and photographers asked their names and snapped their photographs. After all, the Roberts girls were irresistible as an image of a family counting the seconds until their own soldier was with them.
But the reality of their father being gone for so long came home sharply when Roberts marched in with the other 40 members of the 2nd BCT while their families cheered.
When the soft-spoken sergeant swept them into his arms, the three little girls simply fell to pieces in tears and clung to him.
"There's no need to cry, baby. Daddy's home," Roberts said to his girls, holding as many as he could at one time. Finally, he stood up and all the Roberts women - mother and daughters - crowded into the circle of his arms.
"They are the most beautiful things I've ever seen," the soldier said when asked how his girls looked after a year away. "I'm going to spend every waking moment I can with them." All 3,500 soldiers in the 2nd BCT will be coming home in the next few months after a long year in Iraq. The first 40 soldiers who returned to the Mountain Post at 6 a.m. Tuesday were just the "torch" cohort, the first group that will do some of the advance work for the full brigade's return.
Pueblo-area residents will remember the 2nd BCT as the soldiers who dropped their rucksacks at the Colorado State University-Pueblo dormitories in the summer of 2005, just back from their first deployment to Iraq. That was a long year too, with the brigade losing 68 soldiers killed in action.
This past year, they have spent much of their time making Ramadi a safer city for Iraqis. Their accomplishments have come at a price again. Firefights with insurgents and roadside bombs cost the brigade 42 soldiers killed in action in this deployment.
Often as not, recent photos of U.S. soldiers on patrol in Iraq have shown the 2nd BCT in action - recognizable by their distinctive 2nd Infantry Division shoulder patch of a green shield filled with a five-point start, a small Indian warrior's profile in the center.
"I'm just glad to have him home," Melissa Molles said of her husband, Sgt. Jeffrey Molles, a flight medic.
The Molles' four children were still home in bed as their mother went to the predawn arrival. Like the Roberts family, the Molles family has waited through a previous deployment to Iraq as well.
"It makes it easier when I can talk to him on the phone or e-mail him each day," Mrs. Molles said. "I just hope he's home to stay."

In April 1971, Roger Cordrey was the first of the main train robbery gang to be released from prison. On 6 January 1972, fireman David Whitby collapsed and died. He was aged just 34.
On 1 February 1974 Biggs, who was planning to return to Britain and give himself up, was betrayed by the Daily Express and arrested in Rio de Janeiro by Detective Chief Inspector Jack Slipper and Detective Inspector Peter Jones. They, however, did not get their man and returned to the UK empty handed.
In April 1975 Buster Edwards and Jimmy White were released from prison, and in August Roy James was the first of the "30 year" prisoners to be released. By October Edwards was back in prison for six months for shop lifting £65.76 worth of goods from Harrods.
November saw the release of Jim Hussey, followed by Gordon Goody in December, Tommy Wisbey in February 1976, and Bobby Welch in June, the same month that Roy James broke his leg in a car crash during a race at Silverstone.
The free gang members agreed to jointly write a book about the robbery with Piers Paul Read for publisher W.H.Allen. Read was not aware that much of the information supplied to him for The Train Robbers by the robbers was pure fiction.
Bruce Reynolds was finally released from prison on 6 June 1978 after serving ten years, and on 18 December, Charlie Wilson was the last of the imprisoned robbers to be released.
In early 1979, Brian Field, the link to the "Ulsterman", died in a car crash with his new wife, Sian. He had changed his name to Brian Charbren on release.
On 16 March 1981, Biggs was kidnapped in Rio de Janeiro and flown by a private plane from Rio to Belem, in the north of Brazil, where he was put on the yacht Nowcani II that sailed to the Caribbean. Biggs was landed in Barbados, where he was arrested. After a month the case against him was dismissed and Biggs was free to return to Rio.
In April 1984 diesel engine D326, the engine involved in the Great Train Robbery, was finally withdrawn from service and cut up for scrap to avoid souvenir hunters. In October Reynolds was sent back to prison for three years for handling amphetamine sulphate, but was released in March 1985.
On 15 September 1988, the world premiere of Buster was held at the Odeon Leicester Square. A year later, the BBC screened The Great Paper Chase, a play based on Anthony Delano's book Slip-Up. In 1990 Jack Slipper was awarded £50,000 in damages for libel.
On 26 July 1989 Tommy Wisbey and Jimmy Hussey were convicted for trafficking cocaine. They were sentenced to 10 and 7 years respectively. On 24 April 1990, Charlie Wilson was found murdered at his house in Spain. He was buried in the UK on 10 May.
On 27 July 1990 an arrest warrant was issued for Biggs at Bow Street Magistrates Court. The same document would be used when he returned to the UK in 2001.
Lord Edmund Davies, the judge at the Great Train Robbery trial, died on 26 December 1992. In June 1993 Jack Slipper, now retired, visited Biggs in Rio for the Sunday Express. In March 1994 Roy James was sentenced to six year for attacking his ex-wife and shooting his father-in-law, and on 29 November Buster Edwards was found hanged.
Bruce Reynolds published his Autobiography of a Thief in April 1995. His son Nick flew to Rio in the August to do a cast of Biggs for his 'Heroes & Villains' and 'Cons to Icons' collections.
On 20 August 1997, Roy James died of a heart attack. Biggs suffered his first stroke in March 1998.
Bruce Reynolds and his son Nick joined Biggs in Rio on 8 August 1999 to celebrate Biggs' 70th birthday and the 36th anniversary of the robbery. They returned to Rio again in 2001 to help Biggs return to the UK.
Biggs arrived back in the UK on 7 May 2001 after being on the run for a total 13,068 days. He was sent to the maximum-security prison of HMP Belmarsh with still 28 years of his sentence to serve.
On 24 August 2005, Jack Slipper died at the age of 81 after a long illness. On 28 November Detective Superintendent Malcolm Fewtrell died.
After being refused parole by the Justice Secretary, Biggs was finally released on compassionate grounds on 7 August 2009. It was one day before Biggs' 80th birthday and the 46th anniversary of the train robbery. Biggs, the last of the prosecuted robbers to be released from prison, had served 3,875 days for his part in the Great Train Robbery out of his sentence of 10,957 days.
On 17 November 2011, Biggs published his autobiography, Odd Man Out: The Last Straw. The book is the definitive and accurate story of Biggs' life and the part he played in the Great Train Robbery.
Thursday, 8 August 2013 will be the 50th anniversary of the Great Train Robbery. It falls on the same day of the week as the actual robbery in 1963.

Charlie Hills was seeking his first Group 1 winner of the year with Jallota
PICTURE: Edward Whitaker (racingpost.com/photos)
By Mark Scully 7:23PM 25 SEP 2016
Report: Italy, Sunday
San Siro: Premio Vittorio di Capua (Group 1) 1m, 3yo+
FRUSTRATION was the emotion for trainer Charlie Hills with a neck the difference between Jallota and a first Group 1 success in Italy's Premio Vittorio di Capua on Sunday
"It's annoying, very annoying," said the trainer after the five-year-old just failed to reel in Waikika (Yann Barberot/Gerald Mosse) in the mile contest at San Siro.
"Things didn't quite go according to plan. We rode him to get the mile and he really got it well. We've beaten the favourite [Kaspersky] but then been done by something else."
Always prominent under Jamie Spencer, Jallota was hemmed in for a vital 50 yards around the two-furlong marker and could not deny the winner.
Hills added: "He's run a huge race. He's one in a million, consistent and sound as a pound."
Also on Sunday
Merano: LXXVII Gran Premio Merano Alto Adige (Chase) (Grade 1) 3m1f, 4yo+
Willie Mullins was unable to add Italy's most prestigious chase to his list of triumphs as Alelchi Inois finished third in the Gran Premio Merano.
Second in the Galway Plate, Alelchi Inois, ridden by Ruby Walsh, finished five lengths behind the Czech-trained winner Mazhilis (Josef Vana/Jan Kratochvil).
Mullins said: "It was his first time over the distance and he ran well and jumped well until making a bad mistake at the second-last. He lost more ground there than he was beaten by."

HUNTINGDON, Pa.-The Juniata women's lacrosse team lost to visiting Moravian, 21-5, on a sunny Saturday afternoon at Gibbel Stadium.
The Greyhounds scored the first six goals over the first 16 minutes as they took control of the game early.
With 13 minutes to go in the half, Arielle Danchenko (Palm City, Fla. / South Fork) scooped up a Moravian miss and took the other way. She ran through the entire Greyhound team before ripping a shot off the post. Paige Riker (Sussex, N.J. / Vernon Township) was there to pick up the loose ball and slot it past the keeper for the first Eagle goal of the day. Moravian struck again and Natalie Gibson (Annapolis, Md. / Broadneck) converted a free position shot to make it 7-2.
Moravian scored four more before Gibson scored her second goal of the day unassisted.
Juniata trailed 13-3 at half.
The Greyhounds scored the first six goals of the second half. With just under 15 minutes to go, Danchenko scored her first goal of the game off an FPS shot.
In the final seconds of the game with the score 21-4, Danchenko forced a turnover on Moravian side of the field, scooped up the loose ball and beat the keeper before the buzzer sounded for her second goal of the day.
Isabella Medaris (Monroe, Conn. / Masulk) made nine saves in goal.
Juniata returns to action Friday at Goucher at 5:30.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stock futures were knocked lower early Wednesday, weighed down by weakness in technology, following a weak outlook from security software giant Symantec and a revenue shortfall at former technology darling Sun Microsystems.
A surge in bond yields, after investors mulled Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates Tuesday, also spooked the equity market.
Meanwhile, the embattled media sector got a lift after Time Warner Inc. boosted its stock buyback plan by $7.5 billion, Cablevision Systems approved a $3 billion special dividend and as Knight-Ridder Inc. reacts to a call by its top investor to sell the company.
December S&P 500 futures fell 2.30 to 1,204.00 and Nasdaq 100 futures were down 7.0 at 1,578.5.
Dow industrials futures shed 31 points to 10,400.
U.S. stocks finished lower on Tuesday following the unanimous Fed decision to lift interest rates to 4%, with the Dow industrials losing 33 points to 10,406, the S&P 500 easing 4 points to 1,202 and the Nasdaq Composite shedding 6 points at 2,114.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note $TNX climbed 0.033 percentage points to 4.610%, the highest level seen since March 29.
The dollar sported minor gains vs. the yen and euro, and crude futures were holding under $60 a barrel, down 19 cents at $59.66, amid expectations that data will show stockbuilds in gasoline and crude, while heating oil and diesel inventories are seen falling.
Shares of Symantec SYMC, +0.66% tumbled 13% to $20.79 in Instinet pre-open trading after the world's largest maker of security software's fiscal third-quarter sales outlook fell short of expectations. A number of Wall Street analysts followed by downgrading the stock. See full story.
Sun Microsystems SUNW, -2.50% dropped 2.1% to $3.77 after the computer server maker posted late Tuesday fiscal first-quarter revenue that missed expectations. See full story.
But Time Warner TWX, +0.00% tacked on 2.2% to $17.90 in Instinet after the company earnings and revenue forecasts, and boosted its stock buyback program. See full story.
Separately, the company said its Time Inc. magazine unit received a grand jury subpoena in connection with an probe into circulation-related practices. See full story.
Cablevision Systems CVC, +0.45% climbed 3.7% to $26.35 after it said its board has approved a special $3 billion dividend.
Elsewhere, Mercury Interactive MERQE took a 29% dive to $24.75 after the company announced major management changes in the wake of an investigation into stock-option grants. The company also said it would delay reporting third-quarter results and said its fourth quarter would be challenging.
Nortel Networks NT gained 1.3% to $3.25 after the telecommunications equipment maker reported a narrower loss that met expectations, and revenue that rose slightly above forecasts.
Outside of the U.S., Credit Suisse Group CSR, +1.37%, in its third-quarter earnings statement, predicted a decline in oil and other commodities during the fourth quarter amid a longer-term uptrend.
Credit Suisse shares were steady after reporting a 42% rise in third-quarter profit, as investors pushed up shares of arch-rival UBS UBS, +0.90% instead. See story.
Also overseas, the Nikkei 225 ended up 27 points at 13,894, and European markets edged lower amid a mixed set of earnings, with household products maker Henkel climbing while German retailer Metro fell after slashing its earnings forecast.
British mobile phone operator O2 was lower after Deutsche Telekom DT, +2.27% said it won't launch a bid for the company, clearing the way for Spain's Telefonica TEF, +0.94% to buy the firm for $31.5 billion. DT subsequently said it'll cut 32,000 jobs over three years in Germany. See story.
Broker calls
Deutsche Bank upgraded publishing company Knight-Ridder KRI, -0.69% to hold from sell and increased its target price to $57 from $46, due to the largest shareholder pushing the company to sell. The broker told clients it doesn't see the shares declining significantly from here as the probability of a transaction is high.
Knight-Ridder shares soared close to 9% on Tuesday after the call from Private Capital Management to sell the group.

House moving – It is a common fact that the odds of developing a critical illness are moderately great. The statistics show that there is a 1 in 6 possibility for men and 1 in 5 possibility for women that an infirmity will impede them from working. At present, mortgage insurance life cover will not change the actuality that you can contract an sickness, yet, it can simply take away the extra tribulations, which are likely to arise such as finance repayments. The bulk of populace will have a mortgage insurance protection policy, other people will maintain they have the top; most comprehensive and expensive policy there is available from the market place, with full terminal sickness protection incorporated. home selling
That is all good and fine, but none of this will consist of a critical illness problem. This is where most people fail, as they simply do not distinguish the variation. A incurable illness document is when your GP lets you appreciate that you have a ceiling of 12 months to survive, whilst a critical illness certificate can last years devoid of a prediction on your life expectancy such as loss of sight, deafness or heart etc. However, its not only the mystification why lots of people don't own a critical ill certificate, further reasons consist of the cost of critical illness life policy premiums.
Yes it is more costly, but it's a not rocket science that there is a a good deal advanced possibility of you catching an sickness than dying ahead of retirement age. On the other hand, your critical illness policy and life insurance contracts will work out cheaper, in actuality now and then it can be that much cheaper, the life cover portion is almost totally free. Your next step is to work out an estimate of what everything is worth. This is in terms of replacement costs. Some items lose their value over time, and some actually gain more.

Droit de la mer
La convention des Nations Unies sur le droit de la mer (Montego Bay, 10 décembre 1982), UNCLOS, vise à régir l'utilisation des océans pour la pêche, la navigation commerciale, l'exploration, la navigation et l'exploitation minière. L'UNCLOS est le traité de droit international public le plus exhaustif et concerne une série importante de questions de droit de la mer, tels que les frontières maritimes, zones maritime, protection de l'environnement marin, la recherche scientifique marine, la piraterie et de nombreux autres domaines. La partie XI de la Convention de Montego Bay sur le régime juridique de l' exploitation minière des grands fonds marins est le principal obstacle à la ratification de la convention par les États occidentaux et a retardé l'entrée en vigueur de la Convention des Nations Unies sur le droit de la mer en tant qu'ensemble. Après l'adoption de règles plus spécifiques dans le cadre de l'accord de 1994 relatif à l'application de la partie XI de la Convention sur le droit de la mer à propos de l'exploitation commerciale des grands fonds plusieurs États ont accepté de ratifier la convention qui est entrée en vigueur en 1994. Bien que les États-Unis reconnaissent maintenant la Convention de Montego Bay en tant que codification de la coutume internationale, ils ne l'ont pas encore ratifiée.

Del Vecchio, A. and Virzo, R., Interpretations of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea by International Courts and Tribunals, Springer, 2019.View this title in our discovery service
This book addresses current developments concerning the interpretation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) on the part of international courts and tribunals. It does so from different perspectives, by focusing on the jurisprudence of international and regional bodies, such as the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), the European Court of Justice (ECJ) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), as well as international arbitral tribunals and the World Trade Organization (WTO) Dispute Settlement Body. The various contributions offer in-depth analyses of issues ranging from the interaction between the sources of the International Law of the Sea, to various substantial, procedural and institutional aspects of the regulatory framework established by UNCLOS. The book also focuses on the reference by international courts and tribunals, in Law of the Sea cases, to both general principles and rules concerning interpretation codified in the Vienna Conventions on the Law of Treaties.
Kraska, J. and Pedrozo, R., The Free Sea: the American Fight for Freedom of Navigation, Annapolis, Maryland, Naval Institute Press, 2018.View this title in our discovery service
Freedom of the seas is the foundation of all sea power and a bedrock principle of international law and global order. Separated from the centers of power in Europe and Asia by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the United States has relied on the principles of freedom of navigation for economic prosperity and military security. James Kraska and Raul Pedrozo focus on the struggle to safeguard that freedom. Challenges to U.S. warships and maritime commerce have pushed, and continue to challenge, the United States to vindicate its rights through diplomatic, legal, and military means, underscoring the need for the strategic resolve to ensure freedom in the global maritime commons.
Buderi, C.L.O. and Ricart, L.T., The Iran-UAE Gulf islands dispute: a journey through international law, history and politics, Leiden, Boston, Brill Nijhoff, 2018.View this title in our discovery service
In The Iran-UAE Gulf Islands Dispute, Charles Buderi and Luciana Ricart take the reader on a journey through centuries of Gulf history and evolving principles of international law on territorial disputes to reach conclusions over the rightful sovereign of three Gulf islands - Abu Musa and the Tunbs - claimed by both Iran and the United Arab Emirates. Drawing on a wide range of scholarly works and archival documents from sources as diverse as the Dutch East India Company, the Ottoman Empire and the British Government, Buderi and Ricart analyze historical events from antiquity up to modern times. Ultimately, the authors reach conclusions on the ownership of the islands under international law which challenge the positions of both parties.

Temsamani, R.M., El Estrecho de Gibraltar: la protección internacional y nacional de su medio ambiente marino, Madrid, Dykinson S.L., 2018.View this title in our discovery service
Por su naturaleza, el Estrecho de Gibraltar se enfrenta a una, cada vez mayor, degradación de su medio ambiente marino, consecuencia, entre otras, de la ausencia de un marco jurídico adaptado a su particularidad. Y es que, al día de hoy los estrechos utilizados para la navegación internacional, carecen de una normativa específica que responda a esta situación. De hecho, podría afirmarse que la CNUDM es el único tratado internacional que, de forma expresa, hace referencia en su articulado a la protección del medio marino de los estrechos de navegación internacional. Por lo que se refiere al Estrecho de Gibraltar, cabe señalar que la dificultad de proteger su medio ambiente aumenta debido a su ubicación geoestratégica y a la existencia de una latente controversia de soberanía sobre sus aguas. Circunstancias todas ellas que dificultan la consecución de cualquier acuerdo internacional entre los Estados ribereños, que pueda servir de base para la fijación de un marco jurídico eficaz de protección.
Forteau, M. et Thouvenin, J.-M. (eds.), Traité de droit international de la mer, Paris, Pedone, 2017.View this title in our discovery service
Le présent Traité vise à mettre à la disposition des étudiants, des praticiens et des chercheurs une présentation actualisée et aussi détaillée que possible du droit international de la mer, c'est-à-dire des principes et règles de droit international public (à commencer par ceux qui résultent de la convention des Nations Unies sur le droit de la mer de 1982) qui régissent les titres de souveraineté, droits de juridiction et compétences des Etats sur les espaces maritimes et ceux qui encadrent les activités en mer, ainsi que le règlement des différends portant sur leur interprétation ou application. Les enjeux juridiques liés aux mers et aux océans sont d'une importance capitale dans le monde contemporain. Les espaces maritimes sont source de convoitise et le lieu d'activités diverses, qui appellent un encadrement juridique approprié. Ces activités sont largement pratiquées et participent légitimement, et à grande échelle, au développement économique des sociétés modernes (navigation, commerce, transport, exploitation des ressources halieutiques et du sous-sol marin).

Highlighting the role played by the Tribunal over the last 20 years in the system for the peaceful settlement of law of the sea related disputes, this volume will be a useful resource for all those interested in the law of the sea and dispute resolution.
Oude Elferink, A.G., Henriksen, T. and Busch, S.V. (eds.), Maritime boundary delimitation: the case law: is it consistent and predictable? Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2018.View this title in our discovery service
The law of maritime delimitation has been mostly developed through the case law of the International Court of Justice and other tribunals. In the past decade there have been a number of cases that raise questions about the consistency and predictability of the jurisprudence concerning this sub-field of international law. This book investigates these questions through a systematical review of the case law on the delimitation of the continental shelf and the exclusive economic zone. Comprehensive coverage allows for conclusions to be drawn about the case law's approach to the applicable law and its application to the individual case. Maritime Boundary Delimitation: The Case Law will appeal to scholars of international dispute settlement as well as practitioners and academics interested in the law concerning the delimitation of maritime boundaries.
Harrison, J., Making the Law of the Sea: a Study in the Development of International Law, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2014.View this title in our discovery service
Making the Law of the Sea examines how various international organisations have contributed to the development of this law and what kinds of instruments and law-making techniques have been used. Each chapter considers a different international institution – including the International Maritime Organization and the United Nations – and analyses its functions and powers. Important questions are posed about the law-making process, including what actors are involved and what procedures are followed. Potential problems for the development of the law of the sea are considered and solutions are proposed. In particular, James Harrison explores and evaluates the current methods employed by international institutions to coordinate their law-making activities in order to overcome fragmentation of the law-making process.
Yamamoto, L. and Esteban, M., Atoll Island States and International Law: Climate Change Displacement and Sovereignty, Berlin, Springer, 2014.View this title in our discovery service
Atoll Island States exist on top of what is perceived to be one of the planet's most vulnerable ecosystems: atolls. It has been predicted that an increase in the pace of sea level rise brought about by increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere will cause them to disappear, forcing their inhabitants to migrate. The present book represents a multidisciplinary legal and engineering perspective on this problem, challenging some common misconceptions regarding atolls and their vulnerability to sea-level rise. Coral islands have survived past changes in sea levels, and it is the survival of coral reefs what will be crucial for their continued existence. These islands are important for their inhabitants as they represent not only their ancestral agricultural lands and heritage, but also a source of revenue through the exploitation of the maritime areas associated with them.

Fifty Years Legal Argument over the Chagos Archipelago
Since the creation of the British Indian Ocean Territory, a remnant of the British Empire has been subject of international legal dispute. The two most prominent are the request for an advisory opinion – currently under deliberation of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) – and secondly the arbitral proceedings under the Law of the Sea Convention. These issues and certain domestic proceedings in the United Kingdom relating to the legal status of the Chagossian people, have been the subject of legal academic research and subsequent publications. A recent addition is titled: "Fifty years of the British Indian Ocean territory: legal perspectives." This book, produced in response to the 50th anniversary of the British Indian Ocean Territory's founding, also assesses the impact of the decisions taken in respect of the Territory against a wider background of decolonization while addressing important questions about the lawfulness of maintaining Overseas Territories in the post-colonial era.Read more
The Capture of the Santa Catarina (1603)
By 1602, the newly formed Dutch East India Company (VOC) was threatening Portugal's monopoly over the Asian spice trade. In response, the Portuguese government designed an extensive campaign to drive out the Dutch from the East Indies. Outraged by the atrocities the Portuguese inflicted on the Dutch and their allies, Admiral Van Heemskerck – sailing in the Strait of Singapore – prepared to retaliate against the Portuguese. After spending months of looking for a Portuguese ship to capture, they at last found one on that morning of February 25, 1603. And not just any ship, but the treasure ship Santa Catarina. The ship and its cargo ended up as booty of war and were taken back to Europe. The incident of the Santa Catarina was most certainly not uncontroversial from a legal point of view …Read more
Coral Reefs under Threat?
Are coral reefs condemned to disappear? During the first decade of the 21st century, the intensification of cyclones, the phenomenon of coral bleaching due to ocean warming, outbreaks of a coral-eating starfish and coral diseases left us with this fear. In terms of addressing knowledge gaps, coral reefs are a priority because of their extraordinarily high biological richness and the multitude of products and ecosystem services they provide to human beings. What is the status and legal regime of coral reefs nowadays?Read more
Arctic Sovereignty: Icy Roads to the North Pole
Canada, the US, Norway, Russia, and Denmark have been gathering scientific evidence for more than a decade in an effort to increase their continental shelf claims in the Arctic Ocean Region.The potential delimitation dispute between Canada, Russia and Denmark seems to focus on the Lomonosov Ridge. The North Pole is located about 400 nautical miles from the northernmost island of Canada, Denmark, Norway and the Russian Federation. Under international law coastal state rights over the water columns are limited to the 200 nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone, using the state's territorial sea baselines as starting point.Read more
Tuvalu, Quo Vadis?
Climate change damage in the South Pacific is a problem for all small island developing states, including Tuvalu. These island states may become uninhabitable within the foreseeable future. What about the maritime boundaries and maritime claims of the former (Tuvalu) sea territory, which options do Tuvaluans have here? Does a disappearing Tuvalu have international repercussions? Tuvalu (formerly the Ellice Islands) comprises a cluster of nine islands, plus islets, located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean just south of the Equator. These remote atolls are situated about 1,050 km (650 mi) n of Suva, Fiji, and 4,000 km (2,500 mi) of Sydney, Australia. Tuvalu has a coastline of 24 km (15 mi). As a rather small archipel Tuvale possesses considerable maritime claims on fishing grounds and natural resources in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and continental shelf.Read more
Unresolved Territorial Disputes: The Tunbs and Abu Musa in the Gulf
Last week, the Foreign Minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, renewed his country's demand for the restoration of sovereignty over three islands in the Persian Gulf region. Responding to the statement by the UAE, Iran's representative reiterated his country's full sovereignty over the islands and categorically rejected any claims to the contrary. The legal dispute about ownership and sovereignty of the three islands is based on rival historical claims by both sides.Read more

Hans Island : Crisis in the Arctic?
Compared with other regions on the planet, the Arctic is warming faster. More of the Arctic is free of ice for longer periods. The possibilities for exploitation of natural resources and for control over Northern shipping lanes have prompted countries' renewed interest in their competing claims to the region. Recently, Denmark (for Greenland) and Canada have clashed over their claims to a small, barren rock known as Hans Island.Read more
Pirates, Buccaneers and Privateers : Concepts of International Law.
Establishing an authoritative definition of "piracy" in international law has always been rather problematic. The definition is relevant, because any confusion in terminology invariably leads to debates between State sovereignty and universal jurisdiction over crimes at sea. The various international law meanings of piracy are derived from, among others, international treaties, and various municipal law meanings are defined by statutes and State practice.Read more
Plastic Soup – What Legal Response to Marine Debris Pollution ?
Solving the problem of marine debris and plastic pollution in the World's oceans is a very complex and challenging enterprise. In particular, its legal framework. Various international and regional instruments, domestic and local laws and regulations apply directly or indirectly to marine debris pollution. The conspicuously global nature of this problem indicates that a potential role of significance is reserved for international environmental law. However, not all international and regional instruments are legally binding, and not all have a strong focus on marine debris and plastic pollution.Read more
Grotius in Slovenia

"In Command & Conquer 3, last year's real-time strategy game from EA, three factions battled for control of Earth.

In Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath, the expansion, the story and the war will continue. Only this time, the action will focus on the two new subfactions for each of the three main factions."
