The Euros are coming home.
After last weekend's Champions League final marked the end of the club seasons across Europe, football fans are now excitedly turning towards the summer's major international competition. Euro 2020, while belated, is set to bring some unity once more, as fans flock to watch games in the newly-returned beer gardens and pubs. Kicking off on June 11, and coinciding with some pretty darn good weather, it's time for us to do what we do best in the UK. Drink pints and shout at the football. Remember World Cup 2018, anyone?
So, while you sit here dreaming about an injury-time winner from Jack Grealish or Bukayo Saka, be sure to make some plans on your venue to watch all the games. Whether you're cheering on England, Scotland, Wales, France, Portugal or anyone else, here are some spots that are certain to deliver a lively party for the matches.
1. Oval Space Euro 2020 Fanpark
Tickets for the England matches may have been snatched up (and I say "wise move" to you clever, organised people), but there's still plenty of fun to be had in the remaining matches that are on offer here, including a big hitter game between France and Portugal. Surely seeing Benzema and Mbappe take on Ronaldo and Félix will be a sight to behold for anyone? Tickets guarantee you two beers straight away, along with access to DJ sets before the games and a pie to enjoy during the action. Get in on the act here.
📍 Oval Space 29-32 The Oval, E2 9DT.
2-4. BOXPARK (Croydon, Shoreditch, Wembley)
Now, many of you will remember endless videos of the shenanigans that went down every time England scored at the World Cup in 2018. Chances are, the venue that took place in was BOXPARK. The ever-present spot, serving up pints and housing many a street food stall, became the place to watch all the games at during that fun summer, and chances are it'll be well sought after once more. There's three of the big ol' venues in London, so take your pick. Information on viewing at BOXPARK.
📍 99 George Street, Croydon CR0 1LD.
📍 2-10 Bethnal Green Road, E1 6GY.
📍 18 Olympic Way, Wembley Park, Wembley HA9 0JT.
5. Trafalgar Square Fanpark
This hallowed spot has perhaps been the most talked up place to catch the England games this summer, aside from being inside the stadium itself. A lucky group, selected by ballot, will be allowed into the Trafalgar Square fanzone this summer to catch the action for free. For the first two matches – England vs Croatia (June 13) and England vs Scotland (June 18), key workers have been invited to fill the space, at a capacity of 750 due to social distancing laws. For the matches after this, it's anyone's guess at the moment. Should the June 21 lifting of restrictions go ahead as planned, as many as 9,500 fans could be allowed into the zone. Find information about the public ballot here.
6. PITCH Stratford
Another spot that has all you need to enjoy the hazy ruckus of the games. Big beer garden, check. Drink tokens, check. Live DJs, check. World class surround sound and big screens, check. All you need to bring along is your group of mates plus your tickets and you'll be immersed in the magic of the international tournament. Grab your tickets here.
📍 2 Bridge Road, E15 3FF.
7. The Duke of Edinburgh Pub, Brixton
One of London's favourite and biggest beer gardens is surely a no-brainer when choosing a spot to sink a few cold ones and keep your eyes glued to one of their many screens. Plus, there's some truly mouth-watering food options to grab at half-time or full-time in between the celebrations, from jerk chicken fries to glazed wings to gigantic burgers. Get booking info here.
📍 204 Ferndale Road, SW9 8AG.
8. Vinegar Yard, London Bridge
Another one of London's favourite beer gardens are delivering a spot to get boozy and watch the football again. Just image the euphoria here when Marcus Rashford finds the back of the net? Give that feeling to me right now, please. I mean, how can looking at the spot they've lined up here not make you think it's coming home? Get booking info here.
📍 72-82 St Thomas Street, SE1 3QX.
9. Tokyo Pizza
I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that pizza and booze go together preeettty damn well . Here, you can gain entry to every Euros match with a drink (glass of prosecco or pint of peroni) and a pizza included in the price. You're guaranteed a tip-top matchday environment on this lovely summer terrace. Book your tickets here.
📍 47 Maida Vale, W9 1SD.
10. Flat Iron Square, London Bridge
Yes, we know we bang on about this place quite a bit here at Secret London, but for good reason! And, if you remember, the popular foodie spot became another of the many hubs to enjoy the 2018 World Cup games in the blazing sun. Is there anything Flat Iron Square can't do? Anyhow, you'll be able to enjoy the Euros here with a pint in hand and munching down on that heavenly street food. Get info here.
📍 53b Southwark Street, SE1 1RU.
11. Skylight Rooftop
Yes, that's right. You can soar above the sky as you watch your team at the euros clash heads with another European giant. At a rooftop bar, that is. The beautiful Skylight Rooftop at Tobacco Dock is playing host to watchalongs of Euro 2020, and sipping on some bougie cocktails as you watch Jadon Sancho take on Kieran Tierney really doesn't sound half bad, does it? The sky is the limit. Get info here.
📍 Tobacco Dock, E1W 2SF.
12. Truman's Social Club
A spectacular beer hall that was just made to host lively footballing occasions like this. Sitting in the heart of Blackhorse Lane, this should be high on your lists for places to catch the action in North London. It boasts an HD projector, mouth-watering grub and a wide selection of beers. All you need, innit. Find booking information here.
📍 1 Priestley Way, E17 6AL.
13. Costa del Tottenham Euro Warehouse
You know about Costa del Tottenham. The paradise of a beer garden over in north London that opened last summer. Well, that same team has brought as a 5,000-square foot Euros Warehouse that will screen every single game of Euro 2020, while offering up their delicious street food and pints. Think beer hall tables, strobe lights, giant screens, AV production and the potential to go wild when Foden takes it round the keeper and dinks it over the onrushing defender. Get your tickets here.
📍 Cannon Factory, Ashley Road, N17 9LH.
14. Hope & Anchor, Brixton
Hope & Anchor is best known for its outdoor huts that make for lovely spot to chill all year round. Across the entire pub, there are 24 screens making it an optimum spot to catch all of the action this summer. Get a bucket of ice cold beers and kick back in front of the screen with a burger. There's no losing here. Find booking information here.
📍 123 Acre Lane, Brixton Hill, SW2 5UA.
15. Hackney Bridge
The recently opened Hackney Bridge, boasting a mean beer garden, is another spot that's just made for soaking in the rays while you indulge on pints and (hopefully) your team winning. And, you'll be able to catch it all sitting right by the canal as the sun goes down. Could you even come with a better way to summer? Find booking information here.
📍 Units 1-28, ECHO BUILDING, E15 2SJ.
16. Bluebird Chelsea
If you've been to Bluebird in Chelsea you'll know about their stunning summer terrace. That's exactly where the screen will sit for you and your pals to shout at as soon as the first ball is kicked on June 11 right up until the nail-biting final exactly one month later. More information here.
📍 350 King's Road, SW3 5UU.
17. Pop Brixton
Pop Brixton is best known for being a lively south London space where attendees can hang out and drink a few pints while gnawing on their street food of choice. During the Euros, Pop will be transformed into a space for fans to support the their team in front of the 2m x 3.5m screen. You can buy tickets to watch games at Pop Brixton, but there will also be a number of walk-in spots on the day. Find booking information here.
📍 49 Brixton Station Road, SW9 8PQ.

Here is a brief explanation of how I am joining my squares as I go (note that my method is slightly different from the explanation in the link to the first tutorial above but is the same as the method used by Lucy in the second tutorial; both get very similar results):
- For the first row, I completed a five-round granny square and then chose a coordinating color for my second square.
- I completed four rounds of the second square, and then I completed the first edge of the the fifth round, while only completing the first three-dc cluster of the corner. (I begin the rounds by chaining 3 after I slip stitch into the top of the chain 3 from the round below. This makes my first dc. I then dc directly in to the space at the right edge of the corner, which does slightly twist the stitch. Finally, I complete the 3 dc cluster, which is only half of the corner. Then when I come around the to that corner again, I complete it with 3 dc, chain 2, and a slip-stitch join to the original chain 3 I made to begin the round. The slight twist of the first chain 3 stitch does not show at all once the round is completed.)
- I, then, slip stitched into the corner of the first square I had completed, connecting the top left corner of the second square to the top right corner of the first square.
- After I slip stitched the two corners together, I then completed my second 3 dc cluster to complete the corner.
- From this point on, the JAYG technique continues with slip stitches into spaces on the completed square to connect the sides of the two squares and 3 dc clusters into spaces on the square being worked to create the last round of that square.
- When I got to the second row, I began the task of not only joining the adjacent sides of squares, but also of joining the bottoms of the squares in the row being worked to the tops of the squares in the row below. This means that you must slip stitch in two places at the corners, once into the corner of the square that is adjacent to the square upon which you are working and once into the corner of the square below the one upon which you are working. After these two slip stitches are completed, you begin to make the 3 dc clusters into the bottom edge of the square upon which you are working, slip stitching into the spaces of the square below the one upon which you are working as you go along.
This next photo illustrates a square in progress that will be attached soon.
This photo illustrates the slip-stitch joins, circled in red, and gives an idea of placement.
The most helpful tip I learned when studying this technique was to think of the slip stitches as the equivalent of the chain 2 that is done between the 3 dc clusters at the corners and the equivalent of the chain 1 (that is sometimes done) between 3 dc clusters along the sides. (I want to note here that I am not chaining between my 3 dc clusters along the sides in order to make my granny square more compact - a tip I learned from Lucy on Attic24).
As for choosing my colors as I join squares, I am currently flying by the seat of my pants and just choosing them as I go. I like this method since so much of my life is planned; I find it to be fun to have freedom in my crafting at times and to just try to go with the flow of my inspiration at the moment in choosing the colors. Since this is supposed to be a "patchwork" blanket, I have faith that this spontaneous method will work out in the long-run just as it did when I made the Granny Stripe Blanket. However, I reserve the right to change my mind after this second row if I find that I am not pleased with the effect. If that happens, I will follow Lucy's method of choosing colors a row at at time.
Please share your experiences with JAYG in the comments, or if you have another method of joining that really works for you, we would love to hear about it.

What is your iPhone most afraid of? Nature. It is fearful of rain storms, hail, snow, caves, deep sea excursions and unruly rapids. In other words, it doesn't like water all that much. It is also not particularly fond of heights and excessive speeds (especially when it is not safely nestled inside a cockpit). I guess you could basically say that your phone is afraid of anything high adventure.
How boring, but just because your phone isn't up for the task, doesn't mean that you have to let that dictate when and where you can bring it. Introducing the ultimate adventure gear for your iPhone—the Catalyst Waterproof.
The Urbasm team was introduced to the Catalyst iPhone system a couple months ago, and I can honestly say this is one of the most adventure ready kits I have seen. The case itself is incredibly strong and water-proof, but it doesn't bother adding thick silicone around the outside or extra large edges, as it has been designed to maintain the size and integrity of your original iPhone (plus a few centimeters, of course).
What's the point of adding bulk, when you can utilize good design and tight tolerances to protect your phone just as good? And from my experience, whatever your phone hits while it is in the Catalyst case, the Catalyst takes the brunt of the impact, thereby protecting the screen, which is usually the most likely to be damaged. The end result is a case that is shock-proof up to a 2M drop, does not try to 'alter' or 'take over' your phone, but rather works with it to make its original design just a little more impenetrable to the elements of life.
And speaking of elements…
This is where the catalyst shines the most… its waterproof interior. I have read enough reviews on the Catalyst website to be completely confident in dropping any iPhone directly underwater for up to 5M deep. And yes, its plastic housing is crystal clear and engineered to allow you to take great pictures (like the one below, which was actually taken with a Catalyst case) without any distortion.
And if you're wondering if you can still speak and hear while it is in its water tight mode… the answer is absolutely! Wherever sound needs to travel on your iPhone, Catalyst has fitted it with membranes that allows sound to transfer while still maintaining the case's waterproof characteristics.
This means that you can use this case as you would any other, whether you are on adventure in Africa, or crossing over a water puddle in your neighborhood.
The connections to your phone are protected by silicone plugs that can be removed for easy access (charger, headphones, etc.). And as you'd expect, its clear protective coating is very responsive to touch activity (including biometric scanning).
But is it really that waterproof? Yes, ours was about as air-tight as a frog in a wetsuit (if you can forgive the reference). In the past I have used phone boxes and bags to carry my phone with me while on extreme adventures. But what sucks is you really can't use the phone while it is in these cases—you're basically just transporting it from one boring place to another. As they say, 'The best part of any adventure should be getting there,' which is why this case is so awesome. It allows you to use your phone from the very beginning of an excursion to the end.
But what if your phone should fall out of your hands? I mean, it happens—your case gets a little slippery, you hit a rock or a wave and 'whoosh'… in a split-second your phone is gone forever. Well Catalyst has thought of that too with their Bike Mount system. This allows you to lock your iPhone to any bike (while it is nestled inside its waterproof Catalyst case, of course).
But let's be honest, it didn't take long for me to realize that you could connect your iPhone to a host of other things you might want to… including a boat, jet ski, motorcycle, snowmobile, or the bar of a weekend backpack, etc.
The Catalyst Bike Mount comes with a loop and adapter that is capable of fitting a variety of bar sizes, anywhere from one-inch on up to an inch and a quarter. With enough creativity, you could practically secure your iPhone anywhere you want, and be sure that it will still be there once all the rocking, mud-splashing and carnage is over.
This Catalyst adventure gear turned out to be a big hit around our office, and if you think your life is adventurous enough to require its services, we highly recommend you reach out for more information here.

Call For A Free Consultation - Available 24/7
If you have an apartment lease and your landlord informs you that he wants you to move out immediately and he wants to buy out your lease, unless you are familiar with NYC buyout law and NYC tenant buyout law, don't just think that you can negotiate your own lease buyout. Although you may think you know how to negotiate an apartment lease buyout, unless you have the experience of drafting a buyout agreement, are familiar with the apartment buyout taxes, and have negotiated a real estate buyout agreement prior, it is not advisable to try to do your own apartment lease buyout.
If you need legal help with a real estate transaction, set up a FREE consultation today.
If you rent, particularly if you live in New York City, at some point, one of your landlords may come up to you and try to have you move out of your apartment or rental property despite the fact that you have a valid lease and have been paying rent dutifully each month. Unless there is a valid legal reason in order for the landlord to evict you, such as unpaid rent, causing damage to property, creating a nuisance to neighbors, or your lease has ended, your landlord cannot force you to move out.
However, the landlord may have financial incentives to try to have you move out anyway and force an early termination of the lease. The landlord may want to vacate its current apartment building to build and create new condos. Or the value of the building's property may have increased tenfold as the City has offered the landlord a substantial offer; however, the landlord cannot sell the building to the City until all of its tenants have vacated the premises.
In these types of situations, only by mutual agreement between the landlord and tenant, can a lease be broken legally. This is commonly done through a real estate buyout agreement. An apartment lease buyout agreement is a legally mutually agreed contract allowing for cancellation of the lease between a tenant and landlord. Furthermore, there is no template or a simple book to look up what a buyout should be.
Each buyout agreement is made on a case by case basis, and only by understanding NYC buyout law and being familiar with apartment buyout taxes can a tenant stand to benefit the most in such a buyout agreement. So, unless the tenant moves out voluntarily, the landlord will be offering the tenant a buyout agreement. With a favorable agreement, the landlord and the tenant, in theory, will be able to go their separate ways with no further obligations to each other.
Since most landlords are adamant about you agreeing to a buyout on their terms, it is important for the tenant, or more precisely, the attorney negotiating the buyout on behalf of the tenant, to have a thorough understanding of the following:
Landlords have been known to do everything in their power to try to coerce or unduly influence the tenant to get them to agree to their buyout. This ranges everything from constant harassment of the tenant to try to get them to sign the agreement to creating perpetual construction in the building so that the construction becomes so inconvenient and unbearable due to the noise, smell, and chaos of the building that the tenant eventually caves and decides to agree to the agreement.
Fortunately, NYC has strict tenant buyout laws, such as the Tenant Protection Act, that protect tenants from such harassment. Under NYC buyout agreement laws, the tenant is protected from:
If the landlord does initiate such behavior, the tenant's landlord may file
suit against the landlord for harassment as well as file a claim against them with the City and be subject to various fines and costs.
Although having a favorable buyout agreement is always good, being aware of the tax consequences of such an agreement and how best to avoid having to pay such high taxes is almost as equally as valuable as the actual payout itself.
Accordingly, before a response is given from the tenant to the landlord regarding the landlord's buyout agreement, it is important to understand the tax rates that will be applicable to the buyout funds. Just because you agree on a lump sum amount with your landlord does not mean that the tenant will necessarily receive that exact amount. Unfortunately, it never works out that way.
As a result, the tenant's buyout agreement needs to be carefully structured for tax purposes in order to best reduce the tax consequences. Without careful drafting of the agreement, if the buyout is taxed as ordinary income, the tenant may expect to pay anywhere from 15 to 40 percent in combined federal, state and city income. However, if the buyout agreement is planned carefully, the capital gains rate may come to 32.7 percent, which represents a federal rate of 20 percent, a 3.8 percent federal Medicare tax on unearned income, and a pooled New York State and New York City rate of 8.9 percent.
It is therefore very important to talk with an experienced and knowledgeable buyout agreement lawyer to discuss your individual scenario and what type of tax options you have available to you to offset the buyout as taxable income.
Since there is no single rule or procedure in determining the value of a property and what the true value of a buyout agreement should be, it can be difficult for an inexperienced tenant to determine what a buyout agreement is really worth in responding to a buyout offer.
In general, however, a buyout agreement could range anywhere from $20,000 to $60,000.00 for a rent stabilized apartment. In order to help calculate a possible buyout, a tenant should defer to the difference between what the tenant currently pays in and the rate of the marketplace. By doing this, the tenant would then have a better understanding of how much more the landlord would make if the landlord could rent to another tenant at the marketplace rate.
As such, the real difficulty is in determining what the market rate is. Unfortunately, again, this is not an exact science, and only by experience and knowledge, will an accurate evaluation be made.
When negotiating a buyout agreement, the tenant should also consider what is driving the landlord. What is the cost to get the tenant to vacate? Can I afford to buy out my tenant's lease? In the meantime, the tenant must consider the cost of moving out, taxes, having to pay a higher rent elsewhere, and lawyer fees.
In order to reach the best outcome of a buyout agreement, there are a number of tips that the tenant should consider:
Since determining the buyout marketplace rate can be so difficult, and the landlord may engage in various harassment techniques to get the tenant to agree to their buyout, it is important to have somebody in your corner to guide you in negotiating an apartment lease buyout. Only an experienced attorney from a real estate law firm can explain the process and evaluate your property.
A qualified buyout lawyer from the Law Office of Yuriy Moshes can provide the legal advice for the best outcome for you. Their offices help tenants in the New York City area including all its boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island) as well as Northern New Jersey, Long Island, and Upstate New York.

The U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) office, which leads the U.S. executive branch efforts to negotiate trade agreements and resolve disputes, has produced a series of briefings that show how trade benefits the United States and individual states.
Included in the briefings are specific highlights of key ASEAN countries. The report on Vietnam highlights the fast growth of U.S. exports to Vietnam.
This year marks the 15th anniversary of reestablishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries and the 10 year anniversary of the signing of the U.S.-Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA). Fifteen years ago, our two countries shared little common ground and had almost no trade between them. Today, Vietnam is our 30th largest trading partner, providing an annual $15 billion in annual two-way trade.
In fact, an Asia Matters for America analysis of exports to Vietnam indicates that growth from 1999-2009 is double that of U.S. exports to China or India:
Also of interest in the USTR briefing are the stories of individual companies, such as this:
Briskheat, an Ohio industrial heat provider, has been exporting its heat trace products for more than three decades and attributes approximately 25 percent of its sales to foreign markets, including Vietnam. Just this past year, Briskheat, which currently employs more than 200 Americans, created approximately 60 jobs at home by exporting abroad.
Briskheat creates "flexible surface heating elements and controls" that are useful in a wide variety of applications. The company's website specifically mentions an application in Singapore, where "condensation and subsequent freezing of ammonia tanks upon purging creates problems for the user," which was solved using the company's "large cloth heating jackets that eliminate the condensation." In the words of the USTR, companies like this "understand the importance of building free trade agreements" and expanding trade opportunities for U.S. companies.
The USTR series is called "Trade Spotlight" and includes a spotlight on the Philippines. It also includes briefings on two multilateral institutions:
- The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum (which includes the ASEAN countries of Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam)
- The Trans-Pacific Partnership (which includes the ASEAN countries of Singapore, Brunei, and Vietnam, among others in the negotiations)

• appellation •
Pronunciation: æp-pê-lay-shên • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: A name, title, or other designation by which someone or something is called or identified.
Notes: Today's Good Word often trips up spellers because of its double double letters: two Ps and two Ls. In this respect it is like accommodate and millennium. Be careful. Its adjective is appellative "related to names or naming", as 'an appellative process'. This word is related to appeal and, consequently, to appellate as in 'appellate court' in ways discussed in today's Word History.
In Play: Today's word is better than simple name when you wish to point out that a name carries some special meaning: "I am afraid that Prudence is a captive of her own appellation, never driving over 50 miles per hour." This term is often applied to product names, especially wines: "Well, this wine may contain 'Pinot noir' in its appellation, but if you drink it, you may pinot more."
Word History: In Middle English today's Good Word was appelacion, borrowed from Old French apelacion, which descended from Latin appellatio(n). Appellatio(n) is a noun based on appellatus, the past participle of appellare "to drive to, push toward, appeal". This word is composed of an assimilated form of ad "(up) to" + pellere "to strike, push", handed down from PIE pel-/pol- "to beat, strike, drive". Since the Germanic languages converted [p] to [f], we find felt in English from Proto-Germanic felt- "beat, beaten", for felt is a cloth that isn't woven, but compressed, beaten. Latin borrowed this word from some Germanic language because the Romans used felt for filtering liquids, hence Latin filtrum "filter". Filtrum was filtre by the time it reached French when English borrowed it. Latin also used the O-variant for polire "to polish". You can guess the rest of its history.

A New Zealand explorer who trekked in West Papua before Indonesian rule says he is saddened to see what colonisation has done to the region's indigenous people.
Philip Temple, who is also a renowned author, was part of a small group who made the first recorded ascent of the Carstensz Pyramid in West Papua in 1962 before Dutch colonial rule ended.
"The Dutch had already given [West Papua] its own flag and all that sort of thing. And in fact when we made the first ascent of the Carstenz Pyramid, that was the flag we took to the top," he said.
- READ MORE: Indonesian lawmakers adopt unpopular bill to reshape Papua
- 714,000 Papuans, 112 organisations oppose 'failed' special autonomy law
- Other reports on the special autonomy law for the Papua region
"It was a West Papuan flag that made it to the top, not an Indonesian flag."
Temple said it was sad to see ongoing human rights violations against West Papuans, and their marginalisation in their own homeland due to transmigration of settlers from other, heavily populated parts of Indonesia.
He also cited the violence and displacement suffered by the indigenous people of Papua's highlands due to ongoing conflict between Indonesian security forces and pro-independence fighters.
This was the remote interior region where Temple explored six decades ago. Today it is also a resource-rich region where the one of the world's largest gold mines, Grasberg, operated by US company Freeport McMoran, has been in operation since Indonesian administration began, producing major revenue for the state while devastating the environment.
Papua example of modern colonisation
What has happened to the territory, according to Temple, is another example of modern colonisation.
"There's quite a thing going on in New Zealand at the moment about the effects of colonisation, and yet not that far away in the geopolitical sphere, it's happening right now," he said.
"What is really distressing for me is that the Dani people, who I got to know pretty well, they've been completely taken over by Indonesian settlers, especially in the Grand Valley, the Baliem, and they're now treated as kind of curiosities by Indonesian visitors and so on.
"It's the same kind of thing that happened to Māori at the end of the 19th century."
Temple said that the New Zealand government's reluctance to upset Indonesia by pushing for a resolution of the conflict in West Papua is at odds with its obligations to support the rights of indigenous Pacific peoples.
He said there was a lot that New Zealand could do, including raising the issue at the United Nations level, and also review defence ties it has with Indonesia, as well as military exports to Indonesia.
NZ 'closely monitors' West Papua
A spokesperson from New Zealand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade said it continued to closely monitor developments in Papua.
"For example, earlier this year the New Zealand Ambassador met virtually with local government and civil society leaders in Papua," he said.
"We support the PIF (Pacific Islands Forum) Leaders' call for the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to be permitted to visit Papua, in a manner that is safe and consistent with covid-19 restrictions.
"New Zealand recognises Papua as part of Indonesia's sovereign territory. We encourage Indonesia to continue with its efforts to deliver on the goals and principles underpinning special autonomy for the benefit of all Papuans, including its recognition of the rights of indigenous peoples in Papua.
"New Zealand continues to encourage Indonesia to promote and protect the human rights of all its citizens. We take appropriate opportunities to raise concerns with the Indonesian government."
Temple has written dozens of books, including The Last True Explorer: Into Darkest New Guinea, published by Godwit in 2002, which details his exporations of unmapped swathes of central New Guinea Highlands.

FAQ: What Parmesan Cheese Doesnt Contain Wood?
- 1 Does Parmesan cheese contain wood?
- 2 Does Kraft Parmesan cheese have sawdust in it?
- 3 Is Parmesan cheese made out of cardboard?
- 4 Is grated Parmesan cheese made with sawdust?
- 5 How can you tell real Parmesan cheese?
- 6 Is Kraft Parmesan Cheese real?
- 7 Is Kraft Parmesan unhealthy?
- 8 What percent of Parmesan cheese is sawdust?
- 9 Does pre shredded cheese have sawdust?
- 10 What brand is real Parmesan cheese?
- 11 Is cellulose in Parmesan cheese bad for you?
- 12 What's really in Kraft Parmesan cheese?
- 13 Do they put sawdust in cheese?
- 14 Is there sawdust in McDonald's hamburgers?
- 15 What do they put on shredded cheese to keep it from sticking together?
Does Parmesan cheese contain wood?
In fact, some grated cheeses sold as "100 percent parmesan " contain no parmesan at all – but they do contain a fair chunk of harmless wood pulp, according to independent analysis. Before you freak out, cellulose isn't that unusual to find in cheese, and the FDA permits it as a safe additive.
Does Kraft Parmesan cheese have sawdust in it?
Kraft Heinz cheese, labeled "100% Grated Parmesan Cheese," was found to have 3.8 percent cellulose. Walmart was also sued last week over cellulose, an anti-clumping agent derived from wood chips, in its grated Parmesan cheese.
Is Parmesan cheese made out of cardboard?
Bloomberg found that "Essential Everyday 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese, from Jewel-Osco, was 8.8% cellulose, while Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s Great Value 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese registered 7.8%, according to test results.
Is grated Parmesan cheese made with sawdust?
Yes, cellulose is in sawdust and wood pulp since trees are technically plants and cellulose is in all plants. So no one is chopping up logs and throwing them into your cheese, but rather we consume cellulose anytime we eat fresh produce from apples to broccoli.
How can you tell real Parmesan cheese?
You can find the real Parmigiano -Reggiano right alongside all the Argentinean and New Jersey " parmesan " at almost any sizable cheese counter, and you can tell by the signature pin-prick patterns, the words Parmigiano -Reggiano embossed all over every square inch of the rind, as shown in the accompanying photos.
Is Kraft Parmesan Cheese real?
Is it in any way real parmesan? I found my own answer, but it's interesting: Kraft parmesan is real parmesan, because in the US, the word " parmesan " doesn't mean anything! Since 2008 in the European Union, the word " Parmesan " is defined by law to be only genuine Parmigiano-Reggiano made according to Italian D.O.C.
Is Kraft Parmesan unhealthy?
Parmesan cheese is actually pretty healthy for you. Authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano has many more health benefits than the parmesan you find in a plastic shaker. Parmesan is lactose-free and low in fat. It's a good source of protein, calcium, and certain vitamins.
What percent of Parmesan cheese is sawdust?
All the hype and outrage came on the heels of an FDA investigation, which found that certain brands of Parmesan contain up to 8.8 percent cellulose—AKA wood pulp—even if they're advertised as 100 percent cheese. That's right: There's wood pulp in your cheese.
Does pre shredded cheese have sawdust?
If you're buying grated cheese, you're eating sawdust —gasp! Not only has cellulose been a safe, FDA-approved food additive since 1973, it's also a component of the plant foods we eat every day.
What brand is real Parmesan cheese?
"Learn the names of reputable brands that offer pre-grated Parmesan like Sartori and BelGioioso which are both from Wisconsin and Arthur Schuman, Inc. from New Jersey which is the largest importer of hard Italian cheeses," says Thorpe.
Is cellulose in Parmesan cheese bad for you?
So finding cellulose in grated cheese is absolutely a non-issue in terms of any negative health effect. Indeed, you could eat pure cellulose and the only problem you might encounter is an increased frequency of bathroom visits.
What's really in Kraft Parmesan cheese?
Somehow, Parmesan cheese advertised as 100 percent Parmesan appears to be including wood pulp and other cheese, unbeknownst to us. Bloomberg News conducted a test with an independent laboratory. Kraft Heinz cheese, labeled "100% Grated Parmesan Cheese," was found to be 3.8 percent cellulose.
Do they put sawdust in cheese?
Cellulose or wood pulp (that's basically sawdust ) can be found in food like shredded cheese. It's usually used to add texture and fiber to foods. Cellulose is basically plant fiber, and it's indigestible.
Is there sawdust in McDonald's hamburgers?
But if you eat at some of the nation's top fast-food restaurants, you could be eating wood pulp. Burger King, McDonald's, Taco Bell, Carl's Jr. and Wendy's all have items on their menus that contain this ingredient. It's a common food additive, made of tiny pieces of wood pulp and plant fibers.
What do they put on shredded cheese to keep it from sticking together?
In order to keep shredded cheese from turning into a clump, additives like anti-caking agents and mold inhibitors are added. One of the ingredients that is used (and less than appetizing) is cellulose powder. This light powder keeps the cheese from sticking together.

We're super excited to be showcasing the new functionalities and updates our product development has recently deployed. These are some major changes that improve the admin site's usability and the overall customer experience of shopping on your site.
Added embedding support for Twice online shop
You can now embed your Teice online store on your website. This removes the additional step of directing a customer to make the booking on a separate website hosted by Twice. For consumers, being able to make bookings under one website domain adds clarity and, in general, makes the online shopping experience more coherent with your brand.
Adding the online shop widget to your website is easy but requires basic level HTML understanding. Visit our help center for more detailed instructions.
Shopping cart pop-up
We have added a Shopping cart icon to the online shop if customers are browsing your website and rental equipment on a desktop. With the added pop-up cart window, your visitors can book equipment and browse for more products without leaving the product listing page. This improvement makes the shopping experience more streamlined and navigating between the equipment listing and shopping cart more clear. On mobile, the online shop interface has not experienced any changes.
New products setting page
The product settings page also experienced a facelift. Our goal was to make the page clearer and structure the different settings better.
We have, for example, split the basic information of a product and its' settings to have their own views. With the small updates to the user interface and by adding explaining descriptions, the meanings of each setting are easier to understand, and product settings are now smoother to manage with the help of category separation. The new, streamlined layout also includes other new features related to product settings. More about these later in the post.
Custom start time intervals
The added custom start time intervals offer more flexibility for both the customer and the shop. While previously the start time options were hourly, now you can add flexible starting time intervals with, for example, 15-minute intervals.
You can also set order limits for each starting time of an individual product, which helps to avoid the shop getting too crowded by the customers who come pick up their gear all at the same time. This setting can be found on the new product settings page.
Tip: limit the number of orders per start time based on the number of customers you are able to serve in the selected start time interval. This helps you manage traffic and avoid excessive crowds in the shop at the same time.
How to set start time intervals →
Other additions and improvements
Small UI updates: we moved the shop logo to the center of the header & moved the shop name from the header to the footer. These changes enhance the mobile experience while booking online.
Added Czech language support and updated Spanish translations in consumer channels.

Despite the island recording a comparatively low number of Coronavirus cases, preventative measures are still firmly in place with the Governor of Bali insisting everyone wear a mask should they need to leave their villa for work or essentials. With the whole island looking to cover up during COVID-19, Little Steps has created a handy list on where to source masks in Bali.
While the disposable, three-layer surgical mask is recommended as the most effective in terms of limiting human to human transmission of the virus, most pharmacies on the island have been out of stock for some time. That being said, it is wise to check your local Kimia Farma or Guardian Pharmacy regularly to see if a new shipment has arrived as they tend to sell out immediately. Local hardware stores may still have stock of N95 masks, but these also sell out fast, so check regularly! At a recent government press conference, the director-general for disease control urged people to use cloth masks if possible and save the supply of surgical and N95 masks for medical workers. Luckily, fabric masks are now readily available across the island.
As we are all being asked to isolate and stay home as much as possible, let your fingers do the walking and shop for masks online!
Try these websites to source your mask and have it delivered to your door:
Ace Hardware – Often out of stock online but you might be able to pick up an N95 mask in store. Check the website for a store nearest to you.
Kimia Farma and Guardian Pharmacies – Sold out in store for some time. However, you could source some surgical masks through their online shop on shoppee.co.id
tokopedia.com – A popular online shopping network that offers a variety of different masks for sale and delivery.
Frockk – Gorgeous cotton, linen pleated face masks protecting the whole family. Head to the website, and the 'contact us' tab to order with free delivery in Bali.
Mother Ubud – Bright, reusable cotton face masks available in small and large sizes. +62 8135 3458049 Order online: bit.ly/MotherUbud
IbuBumi Bali – Colorful batik cotton double-layered masks for adults and kids. Buy in a pack of two via their insta @ibubumibali or FB page or WhatsApp them +62 81338136779. Also available from Cafe CousCous
Love Anchor Canggu – A bazaar in Batu Bolong featuring local designers. They are selling tropical print fabric masks online. Simply direct message them via their Facebook Page or email them: [email protected].
Goldmine Store Ubud – fabric masks available in-store and online. Email: [email protected] Phone: +62 8211 9434500
Free Fabric Masks For Those In Need:
With COVID19 restrictions resulting in the loss of thousands of jobs across the island, many organizations have been established to distribute free fabric masks to those who cannot afford to purchase them. Check out these Instagram/Facebook accounts to find out where to source masks for those who need them most:

It is easy to love a car like the BMW 220i Convertible. And not just because it is a BMW and a convertible, although the two words by themselves hold sweet promises.
The car is compact, endowed with BMW's good sense of balance (so you can chuck it around with ease) and has a 2-litre engine that offers stirring performance and reasonable distance between refills.
At the same time, it is not too compact, so you can still have two more people at the back if you wish. It is, well, a convertible, so you are actually having two cars for the price of one.
You must be thinking now, there are lots of cars that fit that description. Actually, there are not. The individual traits are not uncommon, but it is hard to find a car that embodies all of them.
For instance, being compact. Tonnes of cars are compact, but so what? In this context, the dimensions of the 220i Convertible actually play a big part in making it the most agile, manoeuvrable and playful model in BMW's current line-up.
You get behind the wheel and feel plugged into a car that is "plugged" into the world around you. It moves in every way that you feel it should be moving, with a centredness that makes you think it is a mid-engined two-seater.
At the same time, it is not tiny or cramped. A bigger driver might disagree, but for compact drivers like myself, the cabin is snug and comfy. The sporty front seats that hug your hips and lower rib cage are nice touches, especially for a car that takes to corners like a fish to water.
Because it is so compact, any loss of body rigidity owing to its convertible construction is not perceptible.
Being compact also means being light. Well, relatively speaking, of course. The 220i is not exactly a featherweight at 1,605kg, but it is 145kg lighter than its bigger cousin, the 420i Convertible.
That is worth the weight of two people which, in automotive terms, is really a big deal.
The 220i Convertible's relative lightness allows its relatively modest 2-litre four-cylinder engine to shine. Even at a lower state of tune than the 245bhp 228i, its 184 horses propel the car to 100kmh in
7.6 seconds - which is as brisk in real life as it appears on paper.
And, of course, we are talking about a BMW four-cylinder here, probably the best that money can buy. It feels and sounds so good when delivering torque to the rear axle that you think it is something more complex.
Yes, that drive shaft going from engine to axle is also shorter, resulting in less inertia loss as well as sweeter and punchier responses to throttle inputs.
Most times, the car is adequate in just Normal drive mode. Unlike many other cars though, it remains usable in the city even when you switch to Sport.
The car's somewhat squat disposition again explains its dexterity on the tarmac. It is nimble and unshakeable, even when driven with heavy jabs of your right foot (which it responds to with more than ample verve).
Despite its effervescence, it is not a fidgety drive. Except for dampers that are a tad too hard and abrupt for my liking, the car is as relaxing at the helm as you want it to be. Its eight-speed autobox contributes to this, as does its ample spread of torque - with 270Nm accessible from 1,250rpm to 4,500rpm.
Having a retractable canopy is pretty relaxing too. With the roof down, the 220i is what you would imagine a topless car to be, except its engine and exhaust notes remain fairly subdued. Most times, they are completely masked by the wind.
Still, it is a loveable car. For all the reasons stated, and one more - its perfect blend of poise and power. Too little or too much of either will be irrelevant for most drivers here.

Quarantine boardgames: Travelin'
Since Romania instituted a general lockdown this week, I haven't really left the house. Not that I normally leave the house too much, nor that I can really leave the house even if I wanted to, because I managed to sprain my ankle, inside the house.
But after so many days inside, I had an itch to go travelling. Luckily, I had a boardgame for that, Travelin', which took me all across Europe.
Travelin' is a card game where the objective is to score the most points while traveling to different countries. You have four different kinds of cards: country cards, action cards, event cards and tickets.
Each country is worth a different amount of points. Countries that are further away, such as Iceland or Turkey, are worth more, while more central countries are worth less. Each country also has an associated action.
On each turn you can play an action card. Some give you points, some give you more actions, some make you swap cards with other players and some allow you to steal cards from others.
To travel between countries, you need tickets. Buses get you over one border, trains over two borders and with planes you can fly anywhere.
Event cards do things like block someone else's travel.
The game stops when someone travels to 5 countries. The winner is the one who got the most points.
There is a lot of backstabbing going on in the game, with all the card stealing, swapping and travel blocking. You better be good friends with those you play with, or they'll get upset with you.
Travelin' is a game made in Romania, by Eli Lester. The game was made in English originally, but last year it got translated into Romanian. The artwork for the second edition is delightful and the text commentary on each card is brilliantly done, making us laugh many times when we drew cards.
While it's a fun game, very quick to explain, I felt that it's a bit unbalanced. You start with 8 cards and that number can quickly go up, without a limit, which encourages hoarding of cards. Also I felt that the number of tickets in the deck is too low, because sometimes for several rounds nobody could travel and everyone was waiting to get some tickets.
Score: 7

PCAOB Sanctions Five Auditors for Independence and Other Violations
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board today announced settled disciplinary orders sanctioning five current and former partners and employees of L.L. Bradford & Company, LLC and Samyn & Martin, LLC, PCAOB-registered public accounting firms based, respectively, in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Kansas City, Missouri.
The Board sanctioned four individuals for, among other things, violating auditor independence requirements. The Board also sanctioned another individual for failing to appropriately plan and perform the audit of a public company.
"These orders reinforce the principle that independence is the bedrock of auditor objectivity," said Claudius B. Modesti, Director of PCAOB Enforcement and Investigations. "Investors rely on auditors being independent of their public audit clients in both fact and appearance."
1. Audit Partner Rotation and Cooling-Off Violations: In one order, the Board found that Dustin M. Lewis and Eric S. Bullinger, while partners at L.L. Bradford & Company, violated audit partner rotation requirements with respect to the audits and reviews of six public companies. The Board also found that, in violation of PCAOB standards that require a two-year "cooling off" period, Bullinger served as the engagement quality reviewer immediately after serving as engagement partner for the audits of two public companies. The Board further found that, on another audit, Lewis failed to perform his engagement quality review in accordance with PCAOB standards.
The Board censured Lewis, barred him from associating with a PCAOB-registered public accounting firm, with the right to petition to remove the bar after two years, and imposed a $10,000 civil money penalty against him. The Board censured Bullinger and barred him from associating with a PCAOB-registered public accounting firm, with the right to petition to remove the bar after one year.
2. Providing Bookkeeping and Auditing Services to the Same Client: In a second order, the Board found that Suzanne M. Herring violated independence requirements by providing bookkeeping services, financial statement preparation services, and valuation services to two public company audit clients for which she also served on the audit engagement teams at Samyn & Martin. In addition, the Board found that Herring, while at L.L. Bradford & Company, directly and substantially contributed to the violation of independence requirements concerning the provision of prohibited non-audit services with respect to a public company audit client.
The Board censured Herring, barred her from associating with a PCAOB-registered public accounting firm, with the right to petition to remove the bar after two years, and imposed a $5,000 civil money penalty against her.
3. Contributing to Independence-Related Quality Control Violations: In a third order, the Board found that Hazel-Leilani De Los Reyes Bradford, while a partner at L.L. Bradford & Company, directly and substantially contributed to violations of PCAOB quality control standards related to providing sufficient assurance of compliance with independence requirements. The Board found that Ms. Bradford assumed the role of quality control partner at the firm despite a lack of public company audit experience and an inadequate knowledge of PCAOB standards and relevant SEC rules and regulations.
The Board censured Ms. Bradford, barred her from associating with a PCAOB-registered public accounting firm, with the right to petition to remove the bar after two years, and imposed a $25,000 civil money penalty against her.
4. Auditing Failures: In a fourth order, the Board found that Gordon Brad Beckstead, in his role as engagement partner on an L.L. Bradford & Company audit of a public company, violated PCAOB standards in multiple respects. Among other things, he failed to properly plan the audit, appropriately assess risks, evaluate the qualifications and competence of a specialist, perform sufficient audit procedures to assess the reasonableness of assumptions used by the specialist, and appropriately test the company's reported revenue.
The Board suspended Beckstead from associating with a PCAOB-registered public accounting firm for one year, and limited the activities that he may perform in connection with public company audits for one additional year. The Board also censured Beckstead and required him to complete professional education courses related to public company audits.
Respondents each consented to the respective orders without admitting or denying the Board's findings. Such findings were made pursuant to respondents' offers of settlement and are not binding on any other persons or entities in these proceedings or in any other proceeding.
The PCAOB investigation was conducted by PCAOB Enforcement staff members Jennifer Gibbons, Michael Steele, and Bryant Coleman.
PCAOB Release Nos. 105-2015-005 In the Matter of Dustin M. Lewis, CPA, and Eric S. Bullinger, CPA, 105-2015-006 In the Matter of Hazel-Leilani De Los Reyes Bradford, 105-2015-007 In the Matter of Gordon Brad Beckstead, CPA, and 105-2015-008 In the Matter of Suzanne M. Herring are available on the PCAOB website.
Further information about the PCAOB Division of Enforcement and Investigations may be found on the PCAOB website. Suspected misconduct by auditors can be reported to the PCAOB Tip & Referral Center.

Lawyers are trained and licensed to practice virtually any field of law but most often specialize.Few attorneys are general practitioners. Handling all fields of law and being totally knowledgeable about all of them would be virtually unimaginable because their are so many facets and specialties in law itself it would normally take a large firm with many lawyers to handle all types of law. Large firms often have lawyers with particular specialties in various fields
some related and some not. For instance: When looking for a lawyer it is often best to find one or a firm that specializes in your problem area. Paralegals and legal document assistants (LDAs) are often mistaken for one another; however, in most jurisdictions, including California paralegals are not permitted to contract directly with consumers for the preparation of legal documents. |

The real estate and lending industries operate in a world filled with laws, lawsuits, and regulators. (The latest example is REX's suit against Zillow and the National Association of Realtors – NAR - over the real estate segregation rule, which puts the interests of legacy real estate brokers before consumers.) In the written version of today's commentary is something every compliance department should read: a National Law Review article pointing out the CFPB's current thoughts on lending and servicing during the pandemic. Compliance departments are certainly aware of how compensation is paid to AEs and LOs. After analyzing data from its CompenSafe ICM platform, LBA Ware's Q1 2021 comp report showed a slight decrease in basis points paid. Increases in Year over Year refi and purchase volume contributed to higher commissions for LOs and processors despite a slight decline in BPS per loan. Processors handled 29% more loans per month in Q1 2021 compared to Q1 2020, fueling a 51% increase in average comp earned from $1,451 per processor per month in Q1 2020 to $2,194 in Q1 2021. On average, 3.6 individuals were paid a form of loan compensation per loan unit in Q1 2021.

For todays interview, I brought on Dave Sims, CEO of floify, to discuss some parts of his platform and trends in the industry as a whole
A parade of positive U.S. economic data over the last month that saw several series hit either all-time highs or multi-decade highs was halted by that pesky payrolls report to close last week. Some lawmakers suggest that the government's supplemental unemployment benefits are discouraging people, particularly in lower-wage positions, from reentering the workforce. Let me remind you that one data point does not make a trend and there is bound to be the occasional miss. Demand is so strong across many industries that supply chains are having a hard time keeping pace, which is a much better problem to have than too weak of demand.
The effect is that these strained supply chains are driving up input prices across the board, which in turn leads to higher basic commodity prices, higher financial asset prices, higher housing prices and likely higher consumer prices. That sure sounds inflationary, which could derail the U.S. recovery. The Fed likes a little bit of inflation. At least low, balanced, and predictable inflation. Too much inflation distorts the economy, debt markets, and other financial market pillars, while too little inflation discourages investment and consumption, leading to anemic performance. The question on investors' minds is if the economy is going to overheat with interest rates so low. Maybe a little, but slightly higher prices for a temporary period aligns with the Fed's general aim for an inflation rate of 2 percent on average over time, to make up for exceptionally weak gains over the recent time frame.
So, back to that dismal payrolls report we go. Though a full economic recovery may already be priced into the market, the weak employment data has temporarily eased worries about too-hot inflation and the necessity of interest rate hikes by the Fed to combat it. It's obviously going to be a complex economic recovery, but on the whole the broad basket of labor-related data remains very positive. We are set to receive some important inflation data with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) tomorrow and the Producer Price Index (PPI) on Thursday.
Today's economic calendar kicked off with the NFIB Small Business Activity for April (99.8, a 5-month high). The Mortgage Bankers Association's latest Forbearance and Call Volume Survey revealed that the total number of loans now in forbearance decreased by 11 bps to 4.36 percent of servicers' portfolio volume in the prior week as of May 2, meaning 2.2 million homeowners remain in forbearance plans. Later this morning brings Redbook same store sales for the week ending May 8, followed by JOLTS job openings and a $58 billion 3-year note auction by the Treasury in the afternoon. In addition to two operations by the NY Fed Desk for a maximum support amount of $5.5 billion, we will also hear remarks from New York's Williams, Governor Brainard, San Francisco's Daly, Atlanta's Bostic, and Philadelphia's Harker. We begin the day with Agency MBS prices pretty much unchanged from Monday night and the 10-year yield also unchanged at 1.60 percent.
WE now take you to a high school science class.)

diamond design Dune Keyboard
I've been recommending the Logitech DiNovo Mini for quite some time now, but it's fairly expensive at over $100 so it's good to see finally an alternative worthy of being mentioned.
Using the keyboard with my Dune players was easy to , simply plug in the RF receiver into the USB port on the Dune, power up the keyboard remote, and you are ready to go. Navigating around was equally as easy. The trackpad can be used to navigate around the UI, or you can simply use the directional keys. One feature in particular that the Dune players come with is a web browser, something that the Dune Keyboard would seem perfectly suited for. I loaded up the web browser and to my surprise the browser combined with the keyboard worked extremely well. The keys felt very comfortable and I found it very easy to type without feeling like I was pressing multiple buttons at once. Since the keyboard can be backlit I never had to worry about seeing the keys, something that is a major failure with the Boxee Box remote.

Dear Mr President
Dear Mr President
You are reported to have said the following:
THE attacks on foreigners in the "dark days" of May were not xenophobia, but "naked criminal activity. What happened during those days was not inspired by possessed nationalism, or extreme chauvinism, resulting in our communities violently expressing the hitherto unknown sentiments of mass and mindless hatred of foreigners – xenophobia."
"I heard it said insistently that my people have turned or become xenophobic … I wondered what the accusers knew about my people which I did not know. And this I must also say: None in our society has any right to encourage or incite xenophobia by trying to explain naked criminal activity by cloaking it in the garb of xenophobia."
Mr President – you are wrong. I have housed 30 Zimbabwean people who fled from their attackers. And every one of them told the same story: that they were attacked for being foreigners. They experienced this as a "mass and mindless hatred" .
Mr President, you "wonder what the accusers knew about my people which I did not know". But then, Mr President, had you taken the trouble to personally visit these people you might have reached a different conclusion. You might have learned that your people (my people) are capable of racism, chauvinism, sexism.... and xenophobia. It is extremely difficult to know what our people are thinking and doing when your only contact with your country is through the darkened windscreen of a luxury car in a speeding convoy.
Mr President: You used to live amongst the people. But your speech shows that you have left us for another world. I pray that you might return to us.
Pete Grassow

Accredited reprocessors and exporters
Accredited reprocessors and exporters
- Introduction
- Applying for accreditation
- Online applications
- Transfrontier shipment of waste
- Contact us
Accredited reprocessors or exporters recycle or recover waste packaging discarded by United Kingdom (UK) businesses and households. They sell electronic packaging recovery notes (ePRNs) and electronic packaging export recovery notes (ePERNs) and reinvest the income into the recycling of packaging.
Packaging producers, or their compliance schemes, buy ePRNs and ePERNs as evidence that waste packaging was recovered. These notes are evidence of meeting their waste packaging recycling and recovery obligation.
A register of accredited exporters and reprocessors is available on the National Waste Packaging Database (NPWD) public register.
Accreditation is voluntary and is available to any UK based site that is carrying out a valid recovery activity on packaging waste provided that an adequate documentation system is in place to record activities.
You can apply for an accreditation if you are a UK business which:
- recovers or recycles UK waste packaging;
- exports UK waste packaging for recovery or recycling.
Applications for accredited status can be made online via the National Packaging Waste Database.
- Step 1: If you don't already have a login, request a user name and password by contacting us using our online contact form.
- Step 2: Login and specify the type of accreditation you are applying for (reprocessor or exporter). We accredit each reprocessing site and each waste material separately. You can submit multiple applications. Complete the online form (you do not have to complete in one session - you can save and reopen to fully complete another time).
- Step 3: Upload your documents, as explained below:
- Reprocessor – business plan, sampling and inspection plan, details of the recovery and recycling processes you use.
- Exporter – business plan, sampling and inspection plan, evidence that the site to which you are exporting the waste meets the same environmental standards as those in the EU (known as 'broadly equivalent standards'). You can apply as an exporter with no overseas sites and add them later once you are accredited.
- Step 4: Pay your accreditation fee to SEPA. Contact us for payment details by contacting us using our online contact form. You will be given the option to pay via BACS transfer.f you wish to make a payment call 07388 371 621 for our bank account details or queries.
SEPA has a statutory 12 week determination period for all applications, from receipt of the correct application. To ensure your application is determined by 1 January, we must receive it by 30 September. Applications received after 30 September may not be determined until after 1 January. Accordingly, accreditation will not be back dated and you will not be permitted to issue evidence during a period of non-accreditation.
Transfrontier shipment of waste
If you are operating as an accredited exporter of packaging waste then you must comply with the Transfrontier Shipment of Waste Regulations 2007. These regulations control the import and export of all waste streams into and out of the United Kingdom and subsequently apply to all exports of packaging waste.
See our Transfrontier shipment of waste web pages for more information.
If you have any questions or require any further information or advice on any aspect of packaging waste, please contact us.
