Why have the quality assurance specialist join your software development team?
Over the last few years, the demand for faster software delivery has increased. Quick software delivery gives organizations a real competitive advantage. That said, when things are moving quickly, certain aspects—like quality—can get left behind.
No matter what industry you're in, and whether you're in a traditional or agile environment, software quality is key. When you put your software development strategies in place, you need to include quality assurance so that you can fulfil the requirements.
When developing a software solution in agile mode, quality assurance is no longer just the step that comes before delivery; it's involved in every step of the process. It's a culture that needs to be adopted and embraced by your whole team.
Have you already considered adding a QA specialist to your software development team? We'd like to share with you why it's important.
Testing guarantees quality
Software quality assurance is a set of planned, systematic activities that involves every action needed to sufficiently ensure that all intrinsic and extrinsic features of the software meet the established expectations. Tests are the principal method of verifying that a system is functioning properly. For many organizations, automated testing has now become necessary to speed up the process of developing and delivering software. It also gives you tighter quality control. Automated testing allows you to do more tests, increasing your team's efficiency by allowing them to focus on improving the system and ensuring optimal quality.
Also, by automating testing, your development team can identify and fix errors and bugs before they could affect users. And as you know, the earlier an error is detected, the less expensive it is to fix.
Quality assurance today requires a specific skill set. QA specialists take an interdisciplinary approach to the solution being developed. They devise test cases by consistently asking themselves such questions as "Yes, but—," "What if we change/add/remove this component," etc. They add another level of reflection by considering the alternatives while keeping the client's objectives in mind. They take a comprehensive view of the project, putting themselves in the user's position to verify whether the solution in development meets the client's expectations. This is why it's so important to have a QA specialist on the team. Their work is essentially focused around developing testing strategies, creating new scripts and analyzing the results. Needless to say, these efforts directly contribute to making each project in development a success.
Creating a culture of quality assurance
It's an advantage to have a QA specialist involved from the start of the development cycle. The sooner this person becomes a permanent member of the development team, the higher the quality of code produced as the code will have been tested at earlier stages and more frequently. The QA specialist will take a different tack from the developers, who often have a more technical and linear approach. Developers are less likely to consider all alternative cases, as their goal is essentially to deliver a solution that meets a need expressed by the client, and as quickly as possible.
Organizations that develop software using the agile method have multidisciplinary development teams. The analysts, developers and testers work together for the duration of the project with their diverse and complementary range of expertise maximizing the team's productivity. It's a collaborative effort as quality assurance becomes the whole team's responsibility.
Effective collaboration
As we're sure you can understand, having an QA specialist on board is key to efficient software development. This specialist has a key role in the production of quality software. A QA culture helps your organization emphasize communication and a shared understanding of the importance of quality, from the start.
In turn, this emphasis allows you to work toward a common goal: respecting production and delivery deadlines while guaranteeing bug-free software. As an active member of the development team, the QA specialist will guide you while adding value to the project.

Death Valley, the majestically desolate national park on the eastern edge of California, is a rain-shadow desert, meaning that nearby mountain ranges drain moisture from incoming weather systems and stop rain from reaching the other side. Eighty miles to the west is the Sierra Nevada range, the highest in the contiguous forty-eight states, rising to fourteen thousand five hundred feet. Close by are the jagged Panamints, which reach eleven thousand feet. Any system that can carry water across those barriers is a freak occurrence. The dryness of the region is compounded by the depression of the valley floor—as low as two hundred and eighty-two feet below sea level. Whatever rain gets in tends to evaporate as it descends to the sunken bottom. In summer, nothing stands in the way of extreme heat. In 1913, a weather observer reported a temperature of a hundred and thirty-four degrees—still the official world record. Some meteorologists doubt that measurement, but even without it Death Valley would remain one of the hottest places on Earth.
The shadow lifted in October of last year, when several storms struck Death Valley National Park, resulting in what the U.S. Geological Survey called a "thousand-year-flood event." At Scotty's Castle, a Mission Revival villa that an eccentric millionaire built in the north of the park in the nineteen-twenties, three inches of rain fell in five hours. The deluge tore up roads and carried Dumpsters for miles. In a flashback to the Ice Age, when a lake filled the valley, a shallow body of water covered the basin for several weeks.
Because of the rain, Death Valley experienced what came to be called the Superbloom: cascades of wildflowers across thousands of acres. Park rangers had predicted an exceptional flowering after the October storms, but they were unprepared for the intensity of the public response. The park usually receives about a million visitors each year. In March alone, more than two hundred thousand people came through. No mania in the bizarre history of Death Valley—the prospectors and swindlers of the late nineteenth century; the playboy adventurers and car racers of the Jazz Age; the psychedelic goings on in the sixties and seventies, including a residency by the Manson family—matched the Superbloom invasion.
In early March, when the bloom was at its height, I drove from Los Angeles to Beatty, Nevada, northeast of the park, and checked in at a Motel 6. "This thing with the flowers, it's crazy," the man on night duty said. "The town can't handle it. Restaurants are running out of food, having to get supplies from Pahrump or Vegas."
Just before sunrise, I drove into the park. As the mountaintops lit up, I thought of Willa Cather's description of a desert morning: "The world is golden in an instant." I went through Daylight Pass, and the entire expanse of Death Valley sprang into view: the dark mountains, the white floor, the perpetual mirage of an ancient lake. Snow capped the Panamints. Few places on the planet offer a more dramatic juxtaposition of extremes: the climate ranges from desert to subarctic conditions.
The valley shimmered with myriad points of color, as if Georges Seurat had touched up a Georgia O'Keeffe. The dominant presence was desert gold, a sunflower that blossoms on a long, spindly stem. Notch-leaved phacelia, in colors ranging from blue to lavender, were also common, along with the free-floating white blossoms known as gravel ghosts. Scarlet clusters of paintbrush spattered higher elevations. The flowers were especially thick along the shoulders of the roads, since runoff soaks the ground on either side. They seemed to greet you as you went by, like bystanders cheering a parade—or, perhaps, like protesters silently resisting the incursion of asphalt.
As the day went on, the landscape was overrun by people. They moved through the fields in slow motion, their legs extended at funny angles, their heads bent down. From a distance, they appeared to be playing Twister or performing modern dance. Once I got off the road, I understood why people were contorting themselves. You did not want to step on any of the brave little blooms that were coming up in this unlikely terrain: bone-dry sandy soil, cracked sheets of dried mud, patches of soil on the ledges of cliffs. The desert-five-spot flower looks up at you with a tiny, bright-painted face—purple petals speckled with red. All that color has a practical purpose: to seize the attention of hummingbirds and other pollinators. But it was hard not to see it symbolically, as a defiant assertion of life in the face of death.
Such a conceit assumes that there is something inherently deadly about Death Valley. The name was coined by gold-seekers who passed through in 1849 and 1850. They had a difficult time, and as the survivors escaped over the Panamints one of them exclaimed, "Goodbye, Death Valley!" He probably had the Biblical psalm in mind: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death." Since then, macabre nomenclature has been in vogue: the Black Mountains, the Funeral Mountains, Coffin Canyon, Devil's Golf Course, Dante's View. The first overlook on the drive in from Beatty is called Hells Gate. Yet Death Valley is no more lethal than any other stretch of wilderness. On average, there are one or two fatalities a year, mostly from car accidents. Members of the Timbisha Shoshone tribe, who have lived in the area for hundreds of years, call the place Timbisha, after a red ochre that their ancestors used as body paint. For them, death became a looming presence only when the first white men arrived.
In Death Valley, life does keep a low profile. Often, it is latent: seeds stay in the soil for years, waiting for a deluge to awaken them. Or it is hidden, as in the isolated pockets of water where desert pupfish—survivors of the Ice Age lakes—dart about. The feminist adventurer Edna Brush Perkins, whose 1922 book "The White Heart of Mojave" is among the best of the many Death Valley travelogues, wrote, "The desert mixes up your ideas about what you call living and dying. You see the dreadful, dead country living in beauty, and feel that the silence pressing around it is alive."
Some years ago, I succumbed to what Perkins called, not without irony, the "terrible fascination" of Death Valley. I was lured by the spooky clichés; I'd read "Helter Skelter," which describes how the Manson family ran amok while hiding out at Barker Ranch, in the park's southwest corner. (Manson was apprehended when members of his gang set fire to a piece of Park Service earthmoving equipment, prompting rangers to investigate.) After a few days in the region, I lost interest in all that. I realized that Death Valley is not so much a desert as a surreally varied mountain region with a desert at its heart. At first sight, the landscape seems fixed and timeless, but you soon sense that there was violent change in the not so distant past. Vistas rearrange themselves kaleidoscopically as pastel-colored geologic formations move in and out of view. Vast slabs of rock descend into the earth at severe angles, like the Titanic making its fatal dive. I took a photograph of a stretch of two-lane highway, with sky, mountains, desert, and asphalt forming a geometric abstraction. The image haunted me, becoming the desktop picture on my computer. I have gone back to Death Valley every so often, and this year I have made a series of visits, trying to better understand its allure.

Documentaries can be a effective tool to inspire people and raise their awareness of human rights violations.
From 30. September - 10. October 2020, the Human Rights Film Festival Berlin (HRFFB) returns to the heart of the German capital as a hybrid on- & offline festival under the motto "The Future Is Now". For 10 days, the festival will focus on stories from all parts of the world that vividly address and reflect on human actions, the socio-political status quo and fundamental issues such as democracy, justice, freedom and environmental protection. Through discussions and Q&As with filmmakers, activists and experts, the festival creates a platform to gain new perspectives on our world.
The film programme will be published here in August 2020.
"As we all know, documentaries are essential for the individual and our society to fight for human dignity and justice. I hope that more people will take up social issues and work with film, art and literature to defend human rights and social justice."
– Ai Weiwei, Honorary President of the HRFFB
In 2020, the festival will be accompanied by a Human Rights Film Forum for the first time. This forum creates an interdisciplinary platform for exchange, knowledge transfer and idea development. The core of the forum will be a Climate Story Lab, during which experts, activists and storytellers will develop new strategies for communicating the climate crisis for four days. In addition, the forum is devoted to the debate on resistance against populism and fake news (in times of Corona), deals with different approaches of storytelling on (conflict-based) sexualised, sexual and gender-based violence and offers space for a conference on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.
Accreditation for the Human Rights Film Forum is available from July for filmmakers, scientists, experts, NGO employees, activists, students, cultural workers and journalists.

Firstly in response to some questions raised so far by clubs around re-opening practice facilities, please see below the ECB official position currently.
On Sunday night, Boris Johnson gave an address to share the shape of a plan to reopen various areas of society, that will apply to England from Wednesday, 13 May 2020. A list of these changes and subsequently, what people can and can't do can be found here. Additionally, the government has provided further detail on Monday afternoon and we want to understand the full implications of this, prior to making any formal decisions or recommendations on behalf of the game. It is important to note that all guidance around social distancing remains in place.
The ECB are working closely with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Welsh Government, Sport England and Sport Wales on providing further guidance on what this means specifically for the use of cricket clubs, their facilities and coaches. We are also looking at what future plans for both recreational cricket and cricket behind closed doors could look like, as we move to Step Two and Step Three, as and when the Government advice allows.
As such, all recreational cricket across England and Wales remains suspended until further notice, this includes practise/training – however, we will endeavour to provide a further update as soon as possible.
We appreciate that there is huge appetite to get cricket played across England and Wales as soon as possible, but the health and safety of the general public and cricket family remains our primary concern. We thank you in advance for your patience at this time of uncertainty.
We believe this is a clear statement at this time. Please be assured we continue to make representations on behalf of the county at regional and national discussions. We will of course cascade down decisions and updates as soon as we get them.

We've all heard all about how setting a solid morning routine is incredibly important for starting the day. I don't believe there's one "perfect" morning routine universal for everyone. What works really well for me might not work for you and vice versa and that's OK! But, I do think it's important for everyone to set one for themselves & test out different strategies to figure out what that ideal morning routine looks like.
The thing about routines is that they change often. They change with us, when certain life shifts happen. For me, it's changed many times over the years & especially with starting my own business working from home.
Personally, I'm a BIG morning person. I'm definitely one of those "annoying morning people" that people like to complain about. I just think mornings are so peaceful, especially early mornings. I love getting up early before the sun and taking my time to get ready for the day because how I spend my mornings definitely sets the tone for how the rest of the day is going to be.
Figuring out what works for you
Since everyone is different, it's important to learn about yourself & test out different things to be able to come up with a solid morning routine. One thing that I've learned about myself over the years is that I get stressed out really easily. It's frustrating, but it's just one of those traits that I have. Once I get stressed out, it's hard to get myself back together & I have figured out the best way to deal with it is to prevent myself from getting to that point.
The most prominent thing that I've learned for preventing stress is being planned, organized & prepared. The feeling of being behind or that I am under time pressure is one of the easiest ways for me to get overwhelmed. I need to have things planned out and prepared ahead of time, I do not handle procrastination well AT ALL!
My morning routine might seem a bit excessive for some, but this is what works for me. After experimenting with my morning routine for several years now, I've been able to pinpoint certain things that are important for my morning routine.
Here's what my routine looks like:
My morning routine starts the night before
I think this is true for a lot of people, but making sure everything is prepped & ready is helpful in making sure the morning flows smoothly. Plus, you can save yourself a lot of time & stress in the AM!
I prep the coffee maker, prep breakfast (crack eggs into a tupperware, measure oats), prep snacks/smoothie so I just have to reach in the fridge throughout the day.
I also lay out my gym clothes & make sure everything is packed in my gym bag. Having everything ready helps me feel like I can make sure I'm not rushed and make sure that I don't get stressed out!
(I'll write another post on my night time routine!)
EArly morning gym time
I have been going to the gym first thing in the morning for about a year and a half now. A lot of people call me crazy, but it's been the most amazing lifestyle shift. I've found that getting my workout done first thing in the morning helps with my anxiety & not talking myself out of getting to the gym throughout the day.
You can read more about this in How/ Why I Go To The Gym At 5AM & also 3 Tips for Early Morning Workouts if you are thinking about transitioning to working out early!
Starting my day with a sweaty workout has been the key thing to making sure that I don't get overwhelmed. I notice that if I go more than 2 days without a workout, I get on edge and start feeling overwhelmed & stressed out. It's such a great feeling to start the day getting to the gym early & clear my mind!
I always have breakfast with my boyfriend when we get back from the gym! He jumps in the shower & gets ready for work while I prepare a healthy breakfast for both of us. Having everything prepped the night before helps makes things so much easier for me!
I've been experimenting with meditation for the last couple years. I have been inconsistent with it, but I have recently added it back into my morning routine. I've been trying to make it a habit to meditate for 5-10 minutes after I shower & get dressed and it honestly helps significantly.
Once I start, I notice how much my mind is focused on all the tasks I have to do for the day. Letting my mind calm down helps me to be able to focus & think more clearly.
Even though I've been practicing meditation for a couple years, I'm not very good at it! It really takes a lot of practice. It can be difficult to shut everything off & focus just on your breath, so I'm a big fan of guided meditations. My favorite guided Meditations are in the Sanvello app that I talked about in My 8 Step Process to Overcoming Depression.
Sitting in mediation for 5-10 minutes helps me calm my mind so I feel nice & grounded. Since I get stressed out easily, making sure my mind is calm & clear is extremely important in making sure that I don't start my workday feeling like my mind is all over the place.
After calming my mind with 5-10 minutes of meditation, I sit at my desk and get ready for the work day. You've heard me mention this many times, especially in The Power of Journaling! Over the summer I would sit out on my patio for about 30 minutes to journal & get some fresh air.
I journal about what's on my mind, what's bothering me, what I feel like I need to get done for the day & how I'm feeling. I just let my mind do the writing and get everything out that I need to. I find that getting everything out of my head & onto paper helps me organize my thoughts and make sure that my mind is calm and ready to take on the day.
Sometimes I find myself thinking that I can skip journaling & sometimes I do. When I do skip journaling for a couple of days, I start getting overwhelmed so I try not to make it habit.
I actually just recently talked myself out of journaling for about a week because I had a lot on my to-do list. I started feeling myself get consumed by my thoughts around everything I had to get done. After I noticed this, I decided I needed to stop talking myself out of it & I ended up journaling for about 2 pages. Taking the time to journal has really helped in getting everything out of my head and out on paper, ultimately helping me feel better & better able to focus.
Review my to-do list & make a plan for the day
I try my best to write out my to-do list the night before, but that doesn't always happen & sometimes I have some new ideas that I want to add into my schedule. So, I make sure that I take some time to review everything that needs to be done and make sure I have a plan for the day.
By this time, it's around 8am and I am ready to get started on my work for the day! It's always so nice to be able to start the workday with a clear mind & fresh perspective. We are all so busy and often get caught up in the motions of everyday life that we don't take the time for ourselves.
I have enjoyed the transition to being my own boss & working from home, but it has been a hard & stressful journey! Being completely in control of my time & schedule is difficult, but I've been able to figure out what works best for me. Having a solid morning routine in place, especially focusing on self-care and prioritizing my mental health has been so refreshing!
I hope you take the time to try out different things for your morning routine. Even making it a goal to get up a little bit earlier so you can ease into your day can be very helpful!

Shippers face onerous EU manifest requirements?
Shippers face onerous EU manifest requirements?
A U.K.-based shippers' advocate group is voicing its concern over what it calls onerous expectations from some carriers in response to the European Union's new advanced manifest rules, which went into effect Jan. 1.
Some carriers are asking for the freight data five days in advance of loading (when the EU requires it only 24 hours in advance for sea freight), wrote Shippers' Voice Managing Partner Andrew Traill. One North American shipper of temperature-controlled cargo said it has faced a carrier demanding the information (including the container number and seal details) before that carrier has even delivered the container to the shipper for loading.
'I guess we're supposed to make up the container numbers,' Traill wrote this week. 'Also, one of these carriers has gone so far as to require government health certificate numbers by the same cutoff date, despite the reality that empty containers may not even be released for loading by their documentation cutoff date.'
The EU's advanced trade data rules requires an entry summary declaration (ENS) be submitted to EU authorities 24 hours before cargo loading.
Traill said the ENS requirements vary from carrier to carrier, with the unnamed shipper adding this probably 'says more about how different carriers cope with tackling the same problems.' He said the Shippers' Voice is looking for more feedback on the new advanced manifest rules and how carriers are treating their customers to see if these problems are unique to a few shippers or more endemic.
'Given that the data and regulations are similar to the requirements for cargo entering the U.S., it is surprising to see these problems,' he said.

Opportunities do not come gift wrapped. Of course, it would be nice if they did. Many believe they never come at all except to the lucky few. But I believe we can all make our own opportunities.
I grew up in a household that believed in saving for a rainy day, not spending or investing. And let's face it, there are many rainy days in England. Life in the safe zone… Safe it may be, but there were no thrills, no excitement.
But I learnt I had to step outside of my comfort zone and challenge myself. I saw the possibilities to change my future. I took a leap from business development for the legal sector, to property development for myself. I learnt to negotiate, buy, build, renovate, manage, develop and sell properties. My world took on its own colours, and I have chosen four of these to showcase my brand.
Is to make property investment reachable and a real possibility for anyone with gumption and drive.
The colours we choose often reflect our personalities. The colours I have chosen do exactly that, they reflect warmth, confidence, drive and a playful side.
Embolden Emerald | The envy of all others, daring not doubtful. Clients often say, "I wish I had done this sooner…"
Precious Plum | Rich and regal. We know that not everyone was born with a plum in their mouth and/or had wealth handed to them on a silver platter that is why my vision is to make property accessible to many not just the elite few. It is not where you start but where you finish.
Tantalising Tangerine | Bold but not brassy, muted but not understated. Today or Tomorrow, Tuesday or Thursday, Bitter or Sweet, the tangerine is tempting and with its rich shiny colour and easy to peel skin it is a must to try like property.
Major Mustard | a sunny and spicy hue that adds a rich tone to any space. Fun but never silly. Dignified, but never aloof. Sometimes we all need a kick and mustard just has it. Let me kickstart your property dream.
Clients look to Lorraine's wide-angled View within the property sector. They look for someone who can help them on their property journey by growing in confidence on the job. She believes that education in property comes through doing and that's why Lorraine offers half a morning once a month to handhold her mentees on a project alongside their weekly accountability call.
This is one of the most exciting, invigorating and financially rewarding ways to prosper within property. High risks but high rewards and both are shared. View From My Window looks for partners, personalities and an ethos that matches. Whatever your experience.
The full View and nothing but the View. Property coaching is offered when clients want quick, sharp focus on a short-term task orientated project. It could be with a view to buying at auction or refurbishing a room.
Peace of mind as View From My Window takes control of your project on site taking away that day to day headache of co-ordination for your refurbishment, renovation or extention project. Keeping an eagle eye on budgets, spend & compliance through to completion.
Named in the f:Entrepreneur #ialso100 list for 2020 as one of the 100 businesses led by women in the UK.
Lorraine Thomas is a giant thinking, risk taking visionary. She took a leap from a successful career in business development for the legal sector to property development for herself. Not a path she chose. It was a path that chose her. Today she's on a journey where others are welcome who want to maximise bricks-and-mortar opportunities and realise the view from their window.

National Life Group and Colonial Penn have both earned high financial strength ratings, which indicates their financial stability. National Life Group stands out from Colonial Penn for its lengthy industry experience and offering of universal, indexed universal, and variable universal life insurance policies. Colonial Penn stands out for offering online quotes, not requiring medical exams for underwriting and for offering final expense insurance.

They have been the best life insurance company that I've ever dealt with (and I've dealt with 4 others throughout my life). Their living benefits are amazing and I actually have had friends who've had to utilize them throughout their life. I asked about the alleged "class action law suit" and this is inaccurate information. It's the internet, so it must be true, not exactly. After getting the facts I'm was 100% comfortable going with this company and sleep easy knowing I'm protected should I need it for a critical, chronic or terminal illness or of course upon death.
Helpful Critical Review
We just got a medical records request from Tweedy Claims on behalf of National Life. Now why would a life insurance company want to see a bunch of medical records on someone who has died? She's dead. Pay her husband her life insurance. Plus the deceased was never a patient at our clinic. So it looks like they are just throwing out a wide net, fishing to see if they can find anything medical that would disqualify the patient for life insurance after her death. Wow. So sketchy.

National Life Group has been in business since 1848, so it has many years of industry experience and has stood the test of time. You can buy whole, universal, indexed universal, variable universal, and term life insurance from National Life Group. This range of policies makes it easy to find a life policy that meets your coverage and financial needs.
National Life Group also offers living benefits, which allows you to access some of your policy's death benefit early if you have a qualifying terminal illness, chronic illness, critical illness, or critical injury. This rider can make your life insurance policy a valuable resource for unexpected and expensive medical bills.
If you work with National Life Group, keep in mind that it's undergoing a class action lawsuit for alleged involvement in a pyramid scheme with Premier Financial Group. Premier Financial Group sold National Life Group life insurance policies. Learn more about the lawsuit and pay attention to how National Life Group representatives interact with you to spot any red flags.
In contrast to National Life Group, Colonial Penn has fewer years of industry experience. It was founded in 1968. Colonial Penn also has fewer life insurance policy options. It offers whole, renewable term, and final expense life insurance.
Colonial Penn's policies are guaranteed acceptance policies, so they require less thorough underwriting. Colonial Penn policies also have coverage amount limits. Less underwriting also means higher premiums. However, if you prefer to avoid a medical exam, Colonial Penn's policies may be a good fit for you.
Colonial Penn also offers convenience by offering online quotes for most of its policies. Online quotes are especially helpful if you're pricing out policy options before you decide what kind of policy to work with and which insurer to use.
Colonial Penn also offers targeted accelerated death benefits with its Living Insurance ® whole and term policies. You can choose to have an accelerated death benefit for heart attack or stroke, cancer, or chronic illness. Before purchasing Living Insurance®, compare the terms of accelerated death benefit riders from other insurers. You may be able to find broader accelerated death benefit terms elsewhere.
While you should keep National Life Group's lawsuit in mind as you consider working with them, it has high financial strength ratings, great industry experience, and a nice selection of life insurance policies, including several types of universal policies. Colonial Penn also has high financial strength ratings. However, it has less industry experience and fewer policy options. Unlike National Life Group, Colonial Penn does offer final expense insurance. If convenience matters to you, Colonial Penn is a good choice. You can get online quotes for most policies and do not need to undergo a medical exam as part of underwriting.

I'm a huge fan of Wim Wenders. Both his films and still photography. His photographs, even more than his films, often focus on a kind of 'other worldly' aspect of public spaces. Abandoned fairgrounds and buildings, deserted streets and so on.
His films, on the other hand, have the same feel, but often feature people within those same urban landscapes. Wings of Desire, for example, has a similar desolate landscape feel to the cinematography, but the characters in the movie, are often either 'ghostly' (angels, in this case) or are fighting to establish themselves within the landscape.
To some degree my photos of empty car-parks series is probably influenced by this approach. The vastness of space that empty car-parks have, give off an atmosphere unlike their intended function. Sometimes they are empty because they are abandoned. At other times, they may just be filled during weekdays. Often this also gives the surrounding area a similar sense of openness, eeriness and abandonment.

Space Center Houston inspires the next generation of space travelers
The Manned Space Flight Education Foundation Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational foundation with an extensive science education program, is the entity behind Space Center Houston, located at 1601 NASA Parkway.
Space Center Houston is one of the area's top attractions, the Official Visitor Center and space museum of NASA Johnson Space Center and the only Smithsonian Affiliate in the greater Houston area.
The space museum launched its summer exhibit on May 23 with, "Space: A Journey to Our Future," which will be on display until late September.
The exhibit is an interactive journey from the dawn of man's earliest ideas of space exploration, past the historic achievements already produced and to the as yet unknown discoveries that lie ahead.
Walking through the front doors to the beautiful entrance display that was inspired by Jules Verne's book "From the Earth to the Moon," a sense of excitement and awe can be felt in the air. Adults and children alike laugh and learn, enjoying the immersive experiences.
The journey begins with a history lesson about how modern space travel developed over the years, from the very first dreams of the heavens through the Mercury and Saturn programs, to the Apollo and shuttle missions. At the end of the "lesson," an Orion capsule, which was actually used for testing for the Mars Program, is on display, representing the future of human space flight. The capsule will soon have a ladder and platform so that visitors can look directly in to see how astronauts will live as they travel through deep space.
The exhibit then turns into a "gateway" to the meat of the installation, which is a mock-up of what a Mars base camp may look like one day.
Inside, there are many interactive displays, such as "Make a Base Station," in which visitors can construct their own habitat on Mars, complete with castles and swimming pools. Visitors can also use a computer simulation to pack for a trip to Mars, which uses actual NASA specs regarding space and weight limits, and even design their own spacecraft to get them there.
There are two interactive games in which visitors compete to earn points to win, while learning about the "space race" and conditions on Mars.
Carmina Mortillaro, one of the public relations specialists, pointed out several rarities in the exhibit. An original copy of Verne's "From the Earth to the Moon" lies under glass and an actual rock from Mars is on display for touching.
Mortillaro also explained that the next generation of telescopes, the James Webb Space Telescope, is currently being tested on the Johnson Space Center Campus.
The Webb Telescope will allow humans to, "Look further back in time than ever before," according to Mortillaro. While the Hubble transmits images that represent 12.8 billion years in the past, the Webb telescope will be able to detect images that are 13.4 billion years old (the Big Bang happened 13.8 billion years ago).
"It's so amazing to think that we can actually look and see what was in the past so long ago," Mortillaro said, referring to the length of time that it takes for the images that are captured by the telescopes to actually reach them. In fact, by the time a human feels a sunbeam on his or her skin, that energy is already eight minutes old.
One of the more popular features of the exhibit is a four-person centrifuge, powered by pedaling. The "ride" is not only fun for visitors, but is a reminder that the astronauts must engage in two hours' of exercise every day while they are in space.
Marketing Director Mike Wampler looked ahead to upcoming exhibits, which generally change out every three months. "We have the only place where you can actually walk in an original Boeing 747 that carried shuttles to Florida," he said. "Our shuttle mock up lets visitors sit and walk and touch things that would not be permissible on an actual space shuttle. This is how we inspire the next generation."
Wampler also said that the fall exhibit will be called "Be the Astronaut," which Eureka Exhibits will premiere at Space Center Houston on October 3.
Since the Space Center is a project of the Manned Space Flight Education Foundation, they depend on admission tickets, memberships and donations to keep the museum alive.
"Many people think we are funded by NASA or the federal government, but we're not. We're a non-profit organization," said Wampler.
Patrons can save money on admission by buying online at SpaceCenter.org or by picking up coupons at area McDonald's, Walgreens, Wal-Mart and Randall's stores. Memberships are also available for purchase online and "pay for themselves in one-and-a-half visits," according to Wampler.
For more information about Space Center Houston or the Manned Space Flight Education Foundation, visit SpaceCenter.org.

Schmitz Cargobull improves proactive safety in turning
Flashing side marking lights now fitted as standard at Schmitz Cargobull as an early warning for turning manoeuvres
The flashing side marking lights for trailers aim to prevent accidents when turning. For example, cyclists riding next to the trailer can become aware of the turning manoeuvre much earlier thanks to the flashing side marking lights, enabling them to respond accordingly.
This technical development is based on a change to ECE R48. In Paragraph 18.104.22.168, United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) states that at least three flashing side lights must be linked to the turn signals.
To meet this requirement, Schmitz Cargobull launched its flashing side marking lights back in 2017. Since then, a large number of customers have invested in this offer from Schmitz Cargobull, helping to improve traffic safety as a result. In the future, Schmitz Cargobull will offer this function as standard for all DACH and BeNeLux markets.

About Schmitz Cargobull:
With an annual production of around 63,500 trailers and with around 6,500 employees, Schmitz Cargobull AG is Europe's leading manufacturer of semi-trailers, trailers and truck bodies for temperature-controlled freight, general cargo and bulk goods. The company achieved sales of approximately 2.29 billion in the 2018/2019 business year. As a pioneer in the industry, the North German company developed a comprehensive brand strategy early on and consistently established quality standards spanning every level: from research and development, through production and service contracts, to trailer telematics, financing, spare parts and used semi-trailer.

UVD Toys has just started taking pre-orders for Mike Fudge's upcoming Kub vinyl toy. The OG version of the figure features a decidedly urban bear rockin' a hoodie with a cute lil' bear graphic on the front, warm cap with ear flaps, and a backpack. The black, gray and blue design has a laid-black, mellow vibe which seems to suit the character well.
It's been a bit of a long development process, but having seen and photographed factory samples at Five Points Fest in June, I can happily say the wait has been worth it. Oasim Karmieh did a great job with the sculpting and the deco is well-done. This should be high up on the list of urban vinyl fans.
Limited to 150 pieces, The OG Kub (7″) is available for pre-order for $75 direct from UVD Toys and is slated to ship in the Fall.

Recognition of prior learning acquired outside of formal education
Osaamista voidaan hyväksilukea myös muulla tavoin kuin virallisessa koulutuksessa hankitulla osaamisella. Prior learning acquired outside formal education may come about in non-formal education (continuing education, courses, short workplace programmes or liberal adult education) or informal learning (work experience, positions of trust, hobbies or language skills). The prior learning to be recognised must comply with the learning objectives of the degree curriculum or one of its modules or courses.
The student must be able to comprehensively describe and prove their prior learning so that it can be assessed. The student must be able also to analyse and give reasons for, how the competence you have acquired relates to the objectives of the course in question. The prior learning acquired by the student is compared with the learning objectives of the courses or modules proposed to be credited. If the prior learning and learning objectives are equivalent, credit transfer can be granted partially or fully. Based on the materials submitted by the student, the decision-maker can grant credit transfer directly for the courses or modules or parts thereof, require the student to provide further evidence of the prior learning, require the student to supplement their prior learning or reject the application.
The further evidence can include, for example, an essay, presentation (to other students, peer review), interview/oral examination, portfolio and its oral presentation, writing an additional report/self-assessment, a written examination or RPL test.
Required application attachments for RPL acquired outside of formal education (pdf):
- Approved PSP (if you could not choose the substituted course directly from the electronic PSP).
- Any relevant documentation to prove equivalent learning (e.g. employment certificate, course certificate, publication, learning diary, confidential post certificate etc.).

Shillong, June 13: The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) on Thursday demanded the state government to allow the residents of the Harijan Colony to construct proper shelters at Them ïew Mawlong.
A delegation of the SGPC also sought the intervention of Home Minister, James K. Sangma for providing adequate security to the Sikh families in the light of the recent threat issued by a banned militant outfit.
After the meeting, member of the SGPC Bhagwant Singh Sailka told reporters that the home minister has assured the delegation that the government will ensure nothing will happen to the residents and the government is trying to settle the issue.
"The delegation has conducted an inspection in the area, and we feel that the people living there should be allowed to construct new houses as per norms and modern technique as at present the place is like a slum area," Sailka said.
When pointed out that the government had already constructed quarters for the residents who are employees of the Shillong Municipal Board (SMB), Bhagwant however said, "Quarters are not the solution to the problem, but the solution is that they should be allowed to make their own houses."
According to him, the area is the most suitable place for the residents as they have been residing there for nearly 150 years since 1853.
Bhagwant further stated that despite the fact that the Meghalaya High Court had passed an order in favour of the residents yet notices were issued by the SMB asking for details which are already with the government and concerned departments.
The SGPC said that it was not concerned about the agreement signed between the SMB and the Syiem of Hima Mylliem in 1954, but about the constitutional rights of the residents.
On issue related to step taken by the government to identify illegal settlers, Bhagwant claimed that all residents are legal settlers.
"We do not know about any illegal person (residing in the area)," he said.
In a memorandum to the Home Minister, the SGPC urged him to intervene and appropriate directions may be given to the local administration not to take any unlawful step or illegitimate action so as to dispossess/dislocate/relocate/remove the local Sikh families from their respective houses. "Needless to mention, such action of the local administration in the name of government may call for untoward incidents and creating law and order situation. To save the same, it is the duty of the state. These Sikh families although of lower castes, but have worked hard for the betterment of the state and at this stage, it becomes the duty of the state not to remove them."

Australia: Additional armed police to patrol airports starting in December
Additional armed anti-terror police officers will patrol airports in Brisbane and Canberra during the Christmas holiday; heightened security measures anticipated at all airports
Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced on Friday, December 6, that additional armed police officers will be deployed to airports in Brisbane and Canberra during the upcoming Christmas holiday. An extra 135 anti-terror officers armed with rifles will patrol the airports, along with explosive-detection dogs. According to officials, additional anti-terror police patrols will be deployed to airports in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and the Gold Coast by June 2020. Similar measures will also be introduced in 2021 to airports in Cairns, Adelaide, and Darwin. As of Friday, Australia's terror threat is rated as "probable" by the government.
A heightened security presence is anticipated at airports across Australia during the upcoming holiday season.
Travelers flying via airports in Australia, particularly in Brisbane and Canberra, are advised to anticipate a heightened security presence at airports, report any suspicious objects or behavior to the police, and obey all instructions issued by the local authorities.

Lead cloth seals
The cloth seal was an essential part of medieval trade and taxation in London. This specific lead seal is a circle with a diameter of 40mm dating from the fifteenth century. The majority of seals found in archaeological digs and on the banks of the Thames are in this condition of having one simple circular piece. This is not what the seal would have looked like on the cloth; they commonly had two halves connected where one side was hollowed out to connect to the fabric. The other circular part had a hole in the center to attach to the cloth. The seal is made of a lead alloy known as pewter, which was a mixture of tin and lead that had been melted down into a liquid form to be mixed. Because lead was so soft, pewterers mixed it with other metals to make it harder. The pewter used in this seal was a lower quality because the higher quality was reserved for dinnerware, which also contained small amounts of copper. The color of the lead alloy is a bluish-grey even though lead only represented about 10 to 20 per cent of the compound.
This seal was produced in Holland since the writing on the seal lets us know that the cloth was inspected in Leiden. Government officials were in charge of fixing the seals to cloth before it could be sold or exported as a sign that the cloth met specific standards of length, width, and quality. The type of cloth exported from Leiden would have been broadcloth, a woolen cloth that was heavily fulled in order to create a dense and sturdy fabric. In the fifteenth century, Leiden began exercising strict controls over the different manufacturing processes required to make broadcloth, resulting in a high-quality product trusted and exported throughout Europe
Cloth seals were used as a form of quality control of the cloth. In England, seals for the assize of cloth (laws regulating the length, width, and quality of different kinds of woolen cloth) originated in the late twelfth to early thirteenth century. Fees were collected to affix the seal, so the process also generated revenues for the officials and the government, which would have paid the pewterers to make the seals. Cloth could not be sold unless it was sealed; if the government standards were not met, the cloth would have been rejected and was not eligible for sale. The rule was outlined in clause 35 of the Magna Carta (1215), which stipulated that there should only be one size of cloth sold throughout all of England. This made it easier for consumers to know exactly how much and what kind of material they were getting when they bought cloth.
Cloth imported into England from other countries also had to abide by the same regulations. If the standard size of a cloth sheet was different in another country, then the cloth would have to be specially measured and cut for export to England and, more specifically, London. By the late fifteenth century, most cloth imported to England came through the port of London because of its busy markets, large hinterland, and monopoly on the cloth trade within seven miles of the city. Government officials called Aulnagers inspected and sealed imported cloth, including large amounts of cloth from Leiden. The Aulnagers were around before the introduction of the assizes but their role grew once the assize of cloth was introduced. By the 1300s, Aulnagers were inspecting thousands of broadcloths annually. In London, their job was the measure the cloth and then tie the seals onto the cloth so that it could be sold at the city's Blackwell Hall, England's main market for woolen cloth, where only selected foreigners and Londoners could buy and sell cloth. Some believed that the more small holes in the cloth from where it had been checked meant that the cloth was of higher quality because of the inspections it passed from multiple Aulnagers, making it less likely that the cloth sellers had bribed an Aulnager to pass the inspection.
Cloth seals served a significant role in promoting confidence in England's most important industry, the manufacture of woolen cloth. This particular seal also points to the internationalization of the cloth trade in the middle ages, notably the export of high quality woolen broadcloths from Leiden to London.

Class II transactivator (CIITA) is a global transcriptional coactivator of human leukocyte antigen–D (HLA-D) genes. CIITA contains motifs similar to guanosine triphosphate (GTP)–binding proteins. This report shows that CIITA binds GTP, and mutations in these motifs decrease its GTP-binding and transactivation activity. Substitution of these motifs with analogous sequences from Ras restores CIITA function. CIITA exhibits little GTPase activity, yet mutations in CIITA that confer GTPase activity reduce transcriptional activity. GTP binding by CIITA correlates with nuclear import. Thus, unlike other GTP-binding proteins, CIITA is involved in transcriptional activation that uses GTP binding to facilitate its own nuclear import.

On 23 September, the Secretary General of the United Nations António Guterres, convened the 2019 UN Climate Action Summit, where government leaders and representatives from youth, business, cities, and finance focused on increasing ambitions to lower greenhouse gas emissions and build climate resilience. In advance of the Summit a whole slew of reports was released; each showing the growing urgency of climate change, a widening gap between climate targets and commitments to action, and the growing impacts of already occurring climate change. Gathered world leaders, however, are not impressed, as few raise their ambition.
Leading climate science organizations published the "United in Science" synthesis report with the worrying headline message that climate change impacts are "hitting harder and sooner" than previously forecasted. The IPCC Report on land-use highlighted worrying trends that both aggravate climate change and put sustainable development at risk. Deteriorating soil fertility threatens food security and affects capacity to store carbon, further exacerbating global warming. A leaked IPCC report on oceans and the cryosphere further warned that more than a quarter billion people could be displaced when global warming hits 2°C.
Despite mounting evidence, and worse than expected trends, the world's response has been far from adequate. According to the Global Climate Adaptation report, by 2030 the world may see a 100 million more poor; severe water shortages; and unprecedented mass migrations. Trillion-dollar investments are inevitable, but inaction will prove much costlier. Although, climate change calls for the tripling of 'nationally determined contributions', according to a joint report by UNDP and UNFCCC, most governments – particularly industrial countries – have not yet adjusted their ambitions.
Against the backdrop of worsening climate change and dwindling governmental climate targets, the Climate Action Summit is the latest in a series of international efforts to mobilize large-scale initiatives to combat climate change and to abate its negative impacts. In 2014, then Secretary General Ban Ki-moon convened the first UN Climate Summit. Last year, Governor Jerry Brown of California hosted the Global Climate Action Summit. In the context of the UNFCCC, the main UN climate process, continuous efforts are made to showcase and encourage a multitude of actions by a broad range of actors. Contrary to previous efforts, which emphasized the role of non-state and local actors, such as businesses, cities and regions and civil society organizations, the Climate Action Summit also provided a platform for governments to announce plans to reduce emissions and to help people to respond to the climate crisis.
The Summit saw the launch of 28 collaborative initiatives across nine thematic areas, including climate finance, Industry transition, mitigation, resilience and adaptation and nature-based solutions. Some of the more eye-catching initiatives include a new coalition of pension funds and insurance providers, managing US$2.3 trillion, which aims to shift investments away from carbon intensive industries with the goal to limit the increase in average temperatures to 1.5°C. Members of the coalition engage with high-carbon companies to help them adopt more sustainable business practices, while divestment from highly polluting industries is on the table as an ultimate measure. To catalyze its impact, the coalition calls on other large asset owners and sovereign wealth funds to join and also align their investment portfolios. In another large initiative, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, along with the World Bank, the European Commission, Sweden, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Germany, made a US$790 million commitment to support research and innovations that help assist smallholder farmers to improve their livelihoods and increase their resilience to climate change impacts.
Despite these striking initiatives by businesses, finance, cities, regions, and other stakeholders, governments have not adequately stepped up. Although the Summit tried to establish stronger links between ambitious actions between non-state and local actions and governments, it yielded few new governmental commitments. A few countries (South Korea, the UK, Germany and France) have pledged to double their contributions to the Green Climate Fund and other climate financing programs, but none of the major economies have acted on the call to raise their climate targets or presented concrete plans. Sadly, the Summit does not seem to have significantly rallied higher government ambitions.
Given the disappointing yield of new governmental commitments, the 2019 UN Climate Action Summit may be most remembered for the powerful speech delivered by sixteen-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg. In her impassioned speech, she blasted world leaders' inaction and accused them of failing young people and betraying future generations.
"you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you! You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. (…) You are failing us. But the young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you. And if you choose to fail us, I say: We will never forgive you."
Governments will get another chance to raise their pledges at the UN Climate Change Conference in Santiago, Chile, later this year. But time for credible climate commitments by governments is running out, and their inaction is increasingly incurring the wrath of a growing movement of concerned youth, as well as older generations.
Climate change adaptation is increasingly seen as a question that involves globally con- nected vulnerabilities and impacts which necessitate transboundary action by non-state and subnational (transnational) actors. Traditional actors such as governments and inter- national organizations leave deficits in norm development, enforcement, capacity building, and financing. Orchestration has been suggested under the functionalist assumption that transnational actors can make up for these deficits, through optimizing complementarity between the realms of international and transnational governance and through eliciting more action toward the achievement of globally agreed climate goals.
In the context of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), orchestration has taken the form of an evolving Global Climate Action Agenda (GCAA). Few studies have examined the role of orchestration in bolstering transnational adaptation. In our new article we therefore ask: Has the GCAA effectively mobilized and prioritized transnational adaptation action? Further, has it effectively addressed functional, participatory, and geographic deficits?
Analyzing a unique dataset of a hundred cooperative climate actions, we find that current patterns are incongruent with some functionalist expectations. GCAA orchestration has featured a political prioritization of both adaptation and mitigation and a focus on building a positive narrative of climate action. This combination of priorities has led to neglect of underperforming actions—many of them adaptation actions in developing countries. Subsequent iterations of the GCAA failed to recognize these actions and did not identify support needed for them. This has strengthened the bias toward mitigation aspects of climate change and exacerbated imbalances in the geography of transnational action under the GCAA.

Als iemand die dag in dag uit bezig is met klimaat en duurzaamheid, roep ik op vandaag toch vooral te gaan stemmen.
Dit zijn de laatste Europese verkiezingen waarop we nog kunnen voorkomen dat de aarde met meer dan 1,5C gemiddeld opwarmt. De verschillen tussen 1,5 en 2C zijn volgens het laatste rapport van de VN (IPCC) dramatisch.
Het zijn ook cruciale politieke tijden. Het spook van nationalisme waart weer door Europa, juist op het moment dat internationale samenwerking meer nodig is dan ooit. Nederland zal grensoverschrijdende problemen als de ophitting van de aarde en het verdwijnen van planten en dieren alleen niet kunnen oplossen. Europese samenwerking is nodig. Mensen die alleen spreken van meer of minder Europa moesten meer over de inhoud praten.
Tegelijkertijd moeten we ook erkennen dat een andere internationale samenwerking nodig is. Eén die niet alleen aanzet to grotere ongelijkheid, één die niet voornamelijk rijken en multinationale ondernemingen voortrekt.
Als ik verkozen word in het parlement zal ik mij vol inzetten voor een versnelling van de groene transformatie die we nodig hebben. Ik zal mij verzetten tegen elk handelsakkoord dat niet past bij de duurzaamheids- en klimaatdoelen waar alle landen in de wereld zich aan gecommitteerd hebben.
Daarnaast heb ik een groot hart voor de mensen wiens stem minder luid is; seksuele, ethnische, religieuze minderheden, de allerarmsten die de meest hevige effecten van falend milieu- en sociaal beleid ondervinden. Ik wil ervoor zorgen dat we de stem en de rol van deze minderheden erkennen in het verduurzamen van Europa.
In tegenstelling tot wat Trouw's Duurzame 100 zou doen geloven zijn er wél duurzame kampioenen onder niet-witte en praktisch opgeleide mensen. Zonder deze kampioenen is er geen duurzame toekomst voor iedereen.
"The queer is not represented as a singularity but as part of an assemblage of resistant technologies that include collectivity, imagination and a kind of situationist commitment to surprise and shock"
(Judith Halberstam, Queer art of failure, 2011)
Diversity in the LGBTQIA community teaches us to collaborate and to go against the mainstream in order to realise a better future. These lessons are more valuable than ever. In six EU Member States there is still no same-sex registration, in half of the Member States there is no same-sex marriage. Violence and discrimination remain the order of the day. The fight is not over.
The resilience that we have learned is also needed in other areas. The spectre of nationalism is once again haunting Europe. Populists inspire fear rather than hope. The EU seems to have more ears for big capital than for its citizens. While the EU defends large companies, climate change is becoming an existential threat. Does the EU care as much about our survival as it cares for big business?
Our freedom and well-being stand and fall with freedom and well-being in Europe. Green and social Europeans must shake the EU up, swim against the current and show alternatives. That is also how I want to fight for Europe.
The More Engagement the Better? – Risks of Non-State Action in Sustainability and Climate governance
Article full text link (open access): https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/wcc.57
Although sustainable development and climate change are governed through separate international processes, they converge on two key assumptions. First, governments fall far short of the goals they set. Second, wide gaps between political commitments and governmental action can be narrowed through efforts by non-state actors, such as businesses, investors, civil society organizations, cities and regions. Encouraged by prominent leaders such as US President Barack Obama and former Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Christiana Figueres, international organizations and governments are leading large-scale efforts to promote and mobilize non-state actions. These efforts are based on recurring optimistic arguments, such as: the more action, the better; everybody wins from non-state action; every actor can do its part in implementation; and, action by one will inspire others to take action.
Optimistic arguments about non-state engagement, however, may not be matched in practice due to governance risks. The current emphasis focus on quantifiable impacts may lead to the under-appreciation of social, economic, and environmental impacts that are less easy to measure. Claims that everybody stands to benefit may easily be contradicted by outcomes that are not in line with priorities and needs of developing countries. Despite the broad acceptance of the role of non-state actors in implementation, their actions may still lead to controversial outcomes. Finally, non-state climate action may not be self-reinforcing, but heavily depend on policies by international organizations and governments. Governments and international organizations should consider governance risk-reduction strategies to maximize the potential contributions of non-state actors in sustainable and climate-resilient development. First, they should create enabling environment that provide incentives to engage, for instance through improving access to knowledge, high-level recognition, material and immaterial support, and by conveying that climate and sustainability action is possible and doable. Second, non-state action needs to be grounded in national and regional contexts; particular attention should be given to strengthening capabilities of, and fostering participation by, developing country-based actors. Third, far-reaching transformations cannot be achieved without critical masses of engagement, therefore the challenge is to stimulate action beyond 'champions' and frontrunners. Especially governments need to bring to focus the ramifications of the sustainable and climate-resilient futures they have committed to and give non-state actors a fair chance to adapt.
How the relation between non-state action and more traditional governance will evolve remains to be seen. This relation may develop differently across sustainable development and climate governance. However, maximizing non-state potential will take supportive environments which reduce risks and bolster momentum for transformative actions.

Non-state and subnational climate actors have become central to global climate change governance. Quantitatively assessing climate mitigation undertaken by these entities is critical to understand the credibility of this trend. In this Perspective, we make recommendations regarding five main areas of research and methodological development related to evaluating non-state and subnational climate actions: defining clear boundaries and terminology; use of common methodologies to aggregate and assess non-state and subnational contributions; systematically dealing with issues of overlap; estimating the likelihood of implementation; and addressing data gaps.
We are looking for a new colleague,
Researcher (m/f) in our research programme on "environmental governance and transformation to sustainability".
The researcher will carry out research and policy advice in the interdisciplinary "Klimalog: Research and dialogue for a climate-smart and and just transformation" with a particular focus on adaptation governance and climate resilience.

Birmingham, Jun 26 : New Zealand won the toss and opted to bat against Pakistan in a World Cup match here at Edgbaston on Wednesday.
The toss was delayed by one hour due to wet outfield, however no overs were lost.
Both Pakistan and New Zealand are unchanged for this match. Pakistan have faced several ups and downs in World Cup 2019 so far and have five points from six games with one match against Sri Lanka being washed out.
They will have to win all the remaining matches and will also have to keep an eye on other matches to seal the semi-final berth. On the other hand, New Zealand have continued their golden run in World Cup 2019 and are on the verge of becoming the second team after Australia became the first team to qualify in semi-finals. A win over Pakistan will send them into the knockout.
Playing XI:
Pakistan- Imam-ul-Haq, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Mohammad Hafeez, Haris Sohail, Sarfaraz Ahmed(w/c), Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Amir, Shaheen Afridi
New Zealand- Martin Guptill, Colin Munro, Kane Williamson(c), Ross Taylor, Tom Latham(w), James Neesham, Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult
