Speech by Verhagen at seminar with president Lula
Mr President, Your Majesty, Ms Verbeet, Your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 'Oude Zaal', the former assembly chamber of the Dutch Parliament, where the House of Representatives of the States General met from 1815 to 1992, when a new chamber was opened. These walls contain a powerful aura of political history.
The relationship between the Netherlands and Brazil dates back even further. We have known each other for over four hundred years. As early as the sixteenth century, Dutch international trade routes included the Brazilian coastline because of its high-quality brazilwood and sugar production. Since then we have developed strong bonds and a warm friendship – this state visit is yet another example of our excellent relations.
But Mr President, we are not here to dwell on our common past. We are here to explore our future together.
Today's world may be smaller, but its problems loom larger. Globalisation has brought both our countries, and the world in general, many benefits: increased trade, innovative technologies, better and faster means of communicating and sharing information and ideas, to name only a few examples. But it has also brought new challenges. One question we have yet to answer is how to make globalisation a truly inclusive process. All around the world, people are discovering new opportunities as a result of globalisation, but at the same time, there are those who are deprived of its benefits. These people are uncertain about how globalisation will affect their jobs, their security, their environment, their identity. It is up to us to seize the opportunities and to address the concerns, at home as well as abroad. This is why the Dutch government is so actively engaged globally. We believe that being open and internationally oriented is in the best interests of our own citizens.
Frankly, I believe that the interests of Dutch citizens are not so different to those of the Brazilian people, or indeed those of anyone else around the world. These interests call for respect for human rights, for education and personal development, for free and fair trade and an unpolluted, sustainable environment. This is a virtually universal vision. We all want the same things for our children and grandchildren. And we must work hard, together, to achieve these goals. In Brazil, Mr President, the Netherlands has found a strong partner.
Brazil is the world's fifth largest country by geographical area, the world' s fifth most populous nation and the world's fourth most populous democracy. Your economy is one of the ten largest in the world, and is expected to grow steadily. Important economic reforms have contributed to this success, and you have not even realised your full potential yet.
Brazil has successfully engaged with other emerging markets and developing countries, forming alliances which jointly represent common interests, like the G20. The global balance of power is shifting, and Brazil is assuming a leadership role in the world.
Leadership comes with responsibilities, which Brazil will be expected to shoulder. And you are rising to the occasion. Brazil has shown particular leadership in the area of human rights, as laid down in the Universal Declaration sixty years ago: justice, equality, solidarity, humanity and liberty. I have placed human rights squarely at the centre of Dutch foreign policy because human rights are tremendously important to me. And because they are under threat around the world.
One of today's challenges is that the universality of human rights, which was reaffirmed by 171 UN member states at the World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna in 1993, can no longer be taken for granted. Tradition, culture, religion or other justifications (such as combating terrorism) are used as a smoke screen by those who seek to deviate from international human rights standards. This calls for vigilance and resolve. The Netherlands is working hard to turn the UN 's Human Rights Council into a credible and effective organisation. And we are working side by side with Brazil, one of our strongest partners in the Council. I would like to thank you for that important and productive cooperation. I trust that we can extend it further in the years ahead.
Climate change is another area in which we encourage Brazilian leadership. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is primarily the responsibility of the industrialised world. However, if we want to combat climate change effectively, emerging markets will also have to play their part. The Netherlands would very much welcome Brazil taking a pioneering role as we work towards new international climate targets. As chair of the working group that is conducting negotiations on a new climate agreement, you have a key role to play in moving the post-Bali process forward. The new agreement should reflect a broad approach to climate change and also include effective measures against deforestation, since this contributes as much as twenty per cent to worldwide emissions. This is particularly relevant for Brazil in view of the logging that takes place in the Amazon.
Brazil is the world's largest producer of ethanol, so it's hardly surprising that your country is sometimes referred to as a biofuel superpower. As you know, the European Union has agreed on ambitious targets to address climate change. By 2020, twenty per cent of our energy mix should originate from renewable sources, and ten per cent of fuel for the transport sector should come from biofuels. But only if they can be produced sustainably. This is at the heart of the debate on biofuels. And indeed, producers, including those in Brazil, face the challenge of meeting the EU's strict sustainability standards. This is in both our interests: it is in your interest as an exporter to a potentially enormous market, and it is in our interest because we want to honour our European commitments and diversify our energy mix to avoid being overly dependent on too few suppliers. Brazil is well placed to be a 'first mover' in this respect, to make the necessary technological push, together with foreign investors. This would surely result in a win-win situation. I see great opportunities here.
Mr President, Your Majesty, Ms Verbeet, Your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
I have touched upon a few issues that I consider to be challenges of our times. Challenges, as we know, are what make life interesting. And overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. We certainly live in an interesting age. Let us work together to make it meaningful as well.
Mr President, I invite you to take the floor.
Thank you.

'It will be a big loss' - Debenhams to close in Great Yarmouth
PUBLISHED: 11:35 26 April 2019 | UPDATED: 16:35 26 April 2019
Shoppers in Great Yarmouth have expressed their disappointment after it was announced Debenhams would be closing in the town.
On Friday the chain announced the closure of 22 stores across the UK next year as part of a major restructuring.
Ron and Tracey Cox, from Great Yarmouth, described the news of the store in Market Gates closing as a big shame.
Mr Cox said: "It will be a big loss for the town because it sells quality clothing.
"We shopped there quite a bit so it is disappointing."
A spokesman for owners of Market Gates, Ellandi, said it had been anticipating the closure of the store for some time and had been working on alternative plans.
You may also want to watch:
Stores in Norwich and King's Lynn are to remain open but those in Canterbury, Guildford, Wolverhampton and Kirkcaldy will also close with up to 1200 jobs lost nationwide.
Town centre manager for Great Yarmouth Jonathan Newman, said he was disappointed by the news.
"The recent struggle of the Debenhams department store chain with falling sales and record losses has been widely covered in the national news and whilst it seemed inevitable that this would result in store closures it is obviously disappointing to learn that Great Yarmouth is one of the 22 locations earmarked for closure next year," he said.
"My thoughts are with the staff at Great Yarmouth Debenhams who, through no fault of their own, now face an uncertain future following this announcement."

How To Hold A Tire Move From A Tree
Ornamental flowers and woods are used for ornamental areas and not for earning wealth. In residential landscaping, ornamental trees usually mean smaller woods that can't help pine houses, hammocks or pine swings. You'll have a pine in your yard even when you do not have a lot of space. You can select little ornamental trees which provides you with the satisfaction of having trees in your meters without affecting its appeal. For really small parts, you are able to choose for ornamental crops which can include perfume or elegance for your home.
The best possession in a home owner's landscape could be the flowering ornamental woods which mix the size of a small tree with the sweetness of a flower. This could put plenty of elegance to your yard and enhance the house decor. While it concerns selecting ornamental woods or crops there are several options. You are able to pick a saucer magnolia with its pinkish blossoms or crape myrtles on account of the blooming time which is really long. You can even pick dogwood trees on bill of these outside https://toptenproductreview.com/best-tree-swings-review .
While deciding on landscaping, some home homeowners choose the weeping ornamental trees. These woods have extended and looping branches which enhance the artistic price of the house. Some trees such as the weeping cherry tree will also be trees that flower. Also in this case you can choose from a number of woods relating to their flowering faculties, measurement and times of growth.
While thinking of remodeling your property and incorporating landscaping you may also choose ornamental plants which could increase value during decorating the interiors. Shrubs are unique because they do not have the single trunk and in this way they vary from the trees. Some shrubs which can be attached to offer the design of a start are called the ornamental plant. Ornamental flowers need great treatment to offer good benefits and this way they vary from the ornamental woods which can grow even without diligent care.
Gardening advertisements price of your house and must be regarded throughout home improvement. It can be important to steadfastly keep up the garden area effectively after such a few ideas are incorporated. A home gardener may be appointed to prune and trim and the flowers at normal times so that the beauty and environment is beautifully preserved and the home becomes a really incredible place to live in.
Woods function so significantly within our lives no matter what your age. Who doesn't have fond thoughts of hiking through divisions as a young child, imagining that you're an intrepid explorer? Tree shifts, tree properties, wood for developing, wood for log shoots, apples for eating, oranges for cider, or just as something wonderful to savor and appreciate at the bottom of the garden or in a nearby park, woods provide satisfaction after enjoyment.
Woods as art hasn't always been the first thing that concerns my brain, specially never as something with large appeal to children and adults, however I'd never really observed sculpture in action, and then I understood. When you begin to see the chainsaws roaring, the large tree trunks actually evolving into peculiar and great patterns, the best possible facts being produced by probably the most outstanding of power instruments, you see why timber art and tree building are so really popular.
The sculptures themselves are tactile and strong. Each is exclusive, as is every pine, exposing bands and wood designs, showing an account older than the sculptor. This isn't an official artwork gallery, there is noise and sound and action, so you are feeling section of what's happening. Children in particular are fascinated with all the action, and it's seldom you'll see a seven year-old mesmerized by art!

Just four weeks after Chris Froome's epic win the Tour de France, the Vuelta a Espana begins on Saturday 24th August featuring as many as 11 summit finishes within the 2013 itinerary.
Froome will not be involved this year but Joaquim Rodriguez and Alejandro Valverde will attempt to win on home soil as they face a challenge from Italian Vincenzo Nibali, the winner of the 2013 Giro D'Italia.
2010 winner Nibali once again opted to bypass the Le Tour after his victory in the Giro and he can be backed at 9/4 with Paddy Power to complete the Italian/Spanish double. He has been fairly quiet since his Italian triumph and will be that much fresher for this particularly difficult Vuelta route.
Joaquim Rodriguez has yet to win any of the three main tours despite achieving consistently high finishes. He has attempted a Tour de France / Vuelta double on one previous occasion when finishing seventh and fourth. After a third place in France, Ladbrokes are offering him at 3/1 for victory but the 2013 Le Tour was one of the more gruelling for some time and his chances for a maiden grand tour win will depend on his recovery powers.
A puncture and a subsequent delay on the road denied Alejandro Valverde an opportunity to challenge for a podium position in France. He was still quite aggressive in helping team mate Nairo Quintana to second place overall and will be keen to repeat his 2009 triumph in this race after finishing second last year. Valverde may offer the biggest threat to Nibali
and is priced at 9/2 by William Hill.
Team Sky will be represented by consistent Colombian Sergio Henao as leader with a decent back-up squad including the consistent Rigoberto Uran who was 2nd in the 2013 Giro. After finishing 14th last season, the 25 year old is expected to show improvement on that display and can be backed at 5/2 with Bet Victor for a top three podium finish.
Another improving rider is fellow Colombian Carlos Betancur. At 23 years old he won the young riders competition when finishing fifth in the Giro in May and is 5/2 at Bet Victor for a Podium Finish. Of a similar age to Betancur, Polish rider Rafal Majka finished just behind the Colombian in seventh and may challenge Roman Kreuziger for team leadership of
Team Saxo-Tinkoff in the absence of Alberto Contador. Majka is 66/1 at Boylesports at 1/4 the odds each way.
When looking for a potential winner of the King of the Mountains jersey, a glance at the recent form of Spanish rider Amets Txurruka suggests that he could be a leading candidate. He has claimed the mountains classification in both 2013 renewals of Tour of the Basque Country and Vuelta a Burgos and can be backed at 13/2 with Bet365 for Vuelta a Espana title.
Fellow Spaniard Mikel Nieve is also an aggressive mountain rider and finished 12th in this year's Tour de France. Besides being offered at 7/2 by Bet Victor for a Top 10 Finish, Paddy Power offer him at 25/1 for the polka dot jersey for which Australian Simon Clarke is 16/1 at Ladbrokes for a repeat performance from 2012.
With several stages visiting the hotter areas of southern Spain, the 2013 edition of the Vuelta a Espana promises to be the most gruelling for years and those riders with the freshest legs may ultimately have a clear advantage.

It's for sure most of the people would be suffered from lower back pain. According to research, 80% of the United States population is experiencing back pain. Because of this, sciatica became the leading cause of a visit to a doctor or chiropractor.
It is an exhausting pain which will not allow you to do your work properly. There are so many treatments which will promise it will give permanent relief but it will not give.
Hi there! My name Alexander and today I will share my story on how I able to cure my back pain permanently in just 4 days by doing few super cool stretches for 18 minutes. I am sure it will work for anybody who wants to fix their back if they do these stretches.
I think this is the best physical therapy for lower back pain and it will 100% work.
Before revealing the treatment, I like to share my story on how I able to cure my sciatica also known as back pain.
Quick Navigation
My name is Alexander (sorry for saying my name again, LOL) and I am a father of two beautiful kids and I am very happy to share my story with you guys. I am a Bus Driver and I like to play with my children.
They also enjoy when they play with me and suddenly it all stopped. Recently I had a back injury which turned my happy life into a sad life.
One day Before starting my Bus journey me and my friend Terrence lifted a heavy table in my room. When I lifted it my back gave me an Exhausting pain which I never experienced such pain before.
The pain is unbearable for me and my eyes went into the dark. I don't know what happened next, when I open my eyes I have been in a hospital bed.
I hear that my wife talking to the doctor. The doctor said to my wife my spine had injured and I should take a surgery.
Somehow I took an excuse from the doctor and went home without getting trapped by surgery.
You know my profession and the salary I get is not even enough for my family. If I should take the surgery, then I should multiply my monthly salary by 100 to pay for surgery cost.
Now I think you feel my situation:
I just left this matter off and not considered for months yet I had that intense shooting pain.
The pain became to increase and the condition went normally to unbearable. Even when sleeping I will feel the pain and many days back pain took my sleep.
Sometimes going to a grocery shop is also became a Nightmare for me.
Then I somehow booked an appointment for a chiropractor. He said me to do some exercises and gave a painkiller and plucked my salary.
I should say that their treatment is rubbish. Because I did the stretches for more than for months and not even felt a little better. The painkiller he gave me is helped to cure the pain for some time. Again they will not give you permanent relief only temporary.
Then it is time for finding a better solution.
After some days, one of my old friends messaged me. I said my sad story to her that I am experiencing back pain for a long time.
Then she sent me this link and said this has helped her to get rid of back pain completely.
So I can't wait to see what is that. So I went to google and researched about this program and I Read this review and confirmed to give it a try.
Before sharing my experience with you, It's better to understand what is that program(my back pain coach) is.
My back pain coach is an online coaching program which helps sciatica patients to get rid of back pain. The creator of this program is a well-known back pain expert called Ian Hart and himself experienced back pain.
It helps you to fix your back by doing some proven stretches for not more than 16 minutes. It is very easy guys, believe me, I did it as a 50 years old man.
This is the summary of what my back pain coach is and if you like to read a complete review then you can click here.
After confirming that this program actually works I purchased it. After buying it instantly I received my copy and then start to watch the videos.
On day 1 somehow I able do the stretches. It's that much easy and shame on me I did not do it 100% correctly. The second stretch he telling to do is very effective and it gave immediate results.
I planned to follow this course for 14 days because every day when I do the stretches I felt much better and my pain started to decrease.
The funny thing is on day 5 itself I am able to cure my back pain completely away from me. Then onwards my pain vanished and never came still today.
Now I am able to play with my kids and enjoying life like old days.
If you guys also like me who are experiencing back pain for a long time or short time going for chiropractors and doctors are waste of your time and money.
If the pain continues you will not able to enjoy your life even you can't go to parties.
So my best physical therapy for lower back pain is my back pain coach and it is the program I took to get rid of back pain in just 4 days.
If you want to really cure the back pain forever then you need to give a shot to this program.
If you find this article helpful then make sure to share and if you have any question let me know in the comments below.
Thank you for taking your time reading this and I am signing off.

Aircraft and people attending the Rodent Roundup at
Hicks Field and Meecham. I believe that the
information here is 98% accurate, please don't hold it
against me if I goofed up on your name or something.
We had a great time, introduced the Beech Aero Club to
some that did not know about it, and toured some of
Fort Worth's coolest aviation digs.
Aircraft and People:
1) 8748M - 1963 Musketeer owned by Keith Greene of
Alma Arkansas. Great looking Musketeer. If there was
an award for the earliest production Musketeer, this
neat looking 1963 would have definitely won. At the
same time, his new interior was only DAYS old. Also,
this is Keith�s third Musketeer. He also has a sierra,
and owned a sport in the past.
2) 594LB - 1964 Musketeer powered by Contential
IO-346. Possibly the best known musketeer in the area,
as virtually all of its excursions are recorded by Bo
and Sandra Boggs in Bo�s journal �Flights of the
3) 8884M - 1964 Musketeer powered by Contential
IO-346. Owners Tammy and David Womack. David and Tammy
drove out to the fly in, and it looked like great fun,
so they decided to go fetch the mouse and they
returned a short time later with another beautifully
restored Musketeer. Welcome David and Tammy, hope you
enjoyed the Fly In.
4) 3518R - 1965 Musketeer powered by Contential
IO-346. Owned by Jessica Boldt and Kurt Buchert.
Beautiful paint job, about 3 months old.
5) 613AW - 1966 Musketeer powered by Contential
IO-346. Owner Richard Auld. Richard had not heard yet
heard of the only type club for Musketeers. We hope to
see a lot more of Richard in the future.
6) 5766V - 1966 Musketeer III sport of Jay and Deanna
Bruce, sporting a new vacuum pump (or perhaps the old
busted one depending on if you saw it on Friday or
Saturday...). Deanna Bruce snapped the photographs
uploaded into the Rodent Roundup Folder.
7) 6994Q - 1968 Musketeer of Rodney and Denise Boyd.
To date, this is the only Musketeer that I have �Bac
Seat� time in.
7612R - 1969 Aerobatic Musketeer of Mark Miller.
Sporting new upholstery and radios.
9) 6077N - 1969 Musketeer Owned by Miles Hoover of
Altus, Oklahoma. Miles lead the flight of 5 from FTW
over to Hicks. Miles is also Sales Manager for the
Lucsombe Aircraft Corporation (working to bring back
the FAA certified Luscombe 11E). Copilot was future
musketeer owner Richard.
10) 6699X - 1980 Sundowner belonging to Al O�Donnell
who arrived with copilot Garth Vaas. 6699X was
mistaken for Dave Buttrams airplane for a few moments,
as apparently Beech used the Baby Blue (or Powder
Blue) color instead of White for the base color on
some 1980's Sundowners. We soon discovered the errors
of our ways and welcomed Al and Garth aboard.
11) 18925 - the �unwitting 11th musketeer�. It was in
view of our camera, so were counting it. Too bad we
didn�t see it�s owner at the airport, we would have
gladly offered a burger and a seat in front of the
fan..., maybe next time.
12) Late afternoon arrival, Bill Sciscoe, representing
his 1974 Sport that he is rebuilding just 10 miles
north of Hicks Field. Bill has been a BAC member for
about a month, and is Regional Sales Director for
Bombardia Aircraft. Welcome aboard, Bill!
Ground Support and Transportation Services provided by
Bob Lavery, Bobby Lavery, and Mike Lavery. No
Musketeers were sneaking into Meecham while these guys
were on watch. Bobby and Mike also worked ladder
patrol while Deanna was trying to get all the planes
in one photo. Big thanks again Bob and crew. We want
to see that Tri Pacer taking up a lot more hanger
space next time we are in town...
We toured the Vintage Flying Museum. This is a museum
dedicated to restoring and FLYING aircraft. They have
a B17, and two Twin Beech 18's, plus lots of other
aircraft including some jet fighters. There is another
museum located in the same complex. It is the OV-10
museum, preserving the history of OV-10's and OV-2's
as they were used in Vietnam and the first Gulf War.
You can find information on when and where OV-10's
went down, and their pilots stories. The OV-10 guys
also have a F-4 Phantom that they showed us. Back over
at Hicks, we parked the Musketeers, and Mark fired up
the grill. Hanger flying was the order of the day, and
it looked to me that a great time was had by all. A
formal lecture on maintenance topics gave way to a
more informal hanger flying atmosphere. Maintenance
topics, weather issues, and lots of other stuff was
discussed and the hanger was flown a lot. I learned a
lot about Contential powered Musketeers. First off,

Prohibition Is the Obvious Cause of Opioid Crisis as CDC Releases Preliminary Casualty Numbers for 2017
Earlier this month the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released preliminary estimates of the opioid overdose rate for 2017. The total overdose rate rose to approximately 72,000, up from a total overdose rate of 63,600 in 2016, an increase of roughly 10 percent. The total overdose rate includes deaths from numerous drugs in addition to opioids, such as cocaine, methamphetamine, and benzodiazepines. The opioid‐related overdose rate increased as well, from a little over 42,000 in 2016 to over 49,000 in 2017. This increase occurred despite a 4 percent drop in heroin overdoses and a 2 percent drop in overdoses due to prescription opioids. A 37 percent increase in illicit fentanyl‐related overdoses explains the jump in the death rate.
All of this is happening while the prescribing of high‐dose opioids continues to decrease dramatically—over 41 percent between 2010 and 2015, with a recent report showing a further decrease of 16 percent during the year 2017.
This is more evidence, if any more was needed, that the opioid overdose problem is the result of non‐medical users accessing drugs in the black market that results from drug prohibition. Whether these users' drug of choice is OxyContin or heroin, the majority have obtained their drugs through the black market, not from a doctor. A 2007 study by Carise, et al in the American Journal of Psychiatry looked at over 27,000 OxyContin addicts entering rehab between the years 2001 and 2004 and found that 78 percent never obtained a prescription from a doctor but got the drugs through a friend, family member, or a dealer. 86 percent said they took the drug to "get high" or get a "buzz." 78 percent also had a prior history of treatment for substance abuse disorder. And the National Survey on Drug Use and Health has repeatedly found roughly three‐quarters of non‐medical users get their drugs from dealers, family, or friends as opposed to a doctor.
Media and policymakers can't disabuse themselves of the false narrative that the opioid problem is the product of doctors hooking their patients on opioids when they treat their pain, despite the large number of studies showing–and the Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse stating—that opioids used in the medical setting have a very low addiction rate. Therefore, most opioid policy has focused on decreasing the number of pills prescribed. Reducing the number of pills also aims at making less available for "diversion" into the black market. This is making many patients suffer from undertreatment of their pain and causes some, in desperation, to turn to the black market or to suicide.
Since 2010, opioid policy has also promoted the development of abuse‐deterrent formulations of opioids—opioids that cannot be crushed and snorted or dissolved and injected. As a just‐released Cato Research Brief as well as my Policy Analysis from earlier this year have shown, rendering prescription opioids unsuitable for abuse has only served to make non‐medical users migrate over to more dangerous heroin, which is increasingly laced with illicit fentanyl.
This is how things always work with prohibition. Fighting a war on drugs is like playing a game of "Whac‐a‐mole." The war is never‐ending and the deaths keep mounting.
The so‐called "opioid crisis" has morphed into a "fentanyl and heroin crisis." But it has been an unintended consequence of prohibition from the get go.

Maynica Sachdev On Nordic Charms, Family Business And Philanthropy
Born in Bangkok to a Thai-Indian family, Maynica Sachdev had lived and studied in many places around the world by the time she would enter university as a teen. At six years old, she was accompanying her father to Jersey Island between England and France for his work as an architect. At ll, she attended Asia's oldest international school, Woodstock, in the Himalayas and at 18, before moving back to Thailand to attend Chulalongkorn University, she spent some time in Washington in the United States.
The thirst for worldly experience didn't stop in university either. While pursuing her BA in Language and Culture (BALAC) in Chula, "Mae" managed a one-year exchange to England, summer school in Barcelona and also lived in Madrid before returning to Thailand to graduate.
Clearly ambitious, upon the launch of high-end Nordic audio brand, Vifa, in Thailand last year, we couldn't pass up an invitation for afternoon tea with its fascinating 25-year-old brand manager at her family home in Sukhumvit. We talk to Mae about her work with Vifa, candid views on the family business and an interminable passion for helping those in need.
Vifa has just launched in Thailand. Tell us about your role in the company.
As brand manager, I have been fortunate to work with Vifa from the very beginning, to interpret the brand vision into a local strategy for the Thai market. This includes working with every aspect of the brand, from supply chain to sales, marketing and public relations. I think it's a strength of ASH to find people who are able to vocalise the brand essence. As distributors, ASH isn't a box-mover. We're storytellers, and out of all the brands we carry, I do identify most with Vifa. So now I am looking after the brand in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei.
We hear Nordic brands and Nordic design being pushed more and more in the Thai market lately. Representing one, what's your take on the reception of Nordic brands in Thailand right now?
I think the concept of luxury and luxury design is evolving in the Thai landscape. For instance, in the past, 'luxury furniture' was elaborate, classical furniture, like Casa Mia—my family's high-end Italian business. However, we're now at an era where luxury is no longer defined by the big, gold and grand. To draw a parallel, brands like Fritz Hansen have only gained significant popularity recently. I think people now relate to minimalism and focus on a product's materials, history and identity, and I think Vifa fits into this category. Our customers are people who value the design, history and material. We are not just an audio brand; we're a lifestyle brand that aims to be the thought-leader of the Nordic design and lifestyle movement in Thailand.
Speaking of family business, how involved are you in the family business?
I am involved, but I try not to make it a priority. We have the furniture store, a design business, hotels, a real estate and a management company, and we're thinking of launching a new Italian design solutions firm, which I would run should I choose to accept the responsibility... But right now I'm invested in the brand building of Vifa. That's my priority.
Is there pressure though to takeover the family business eventually?
Yes and no. My parents have always been supportive of my decisions, but when my dad asked me to join the family business after I finished university, I told him I would do it—but not yet. Selfishly, I think that we can learn at the expense of other people. At ASH, Vifa is my business unit, which allows me to be the "intrapreneur". This is preparing me for my future "takeover" or greater involvement in the family business. And in reverse, growing up in the family business has given me natural know-how and instincts to carry a brand like Vifa, despite having never been a brand manager before.
I've heard that you're a wearer of several hats. What are some other projects you're involved in?
When I was young, I really saw myself pursuing a career in the NGO world and ending up at the UN. Right before I went England during university, I spent a couple of months working for the Deaf Foundation under the Queen's Patronage and GNE Health. It was through that opportunity that I met Dr Kris Chatamra and Khunying Finola, who of course are the founders of the Queen Sirikit Center for Breast Cancer Foundation.
I went on to do the Slum and Community Outreach project with them, and I loved it! When I asked if I could continue volunteering, Dr Kris told me about his vision for Pink Park, a convalescent home and hospice for underprivileged breast cancer patients. In total, I worked with the foundation for about three years, seeing Pink Park from farmland until the building was finished.
My passion still remains in this area. A few years ago, my friend and I launched a mentorship programme for underprivileged kids. We saw a problem of organisations supplying scholarships to children but the kids not having the incentive to go to school even after receiving the funds. So we matched kids in the slums with mentors in universities to enable them to discover their passion and find good role models. The commitment for mentorship is at least six months because that's another problem in this field—people come in to do some charity experience and it's a one-off thing.
What are you looking forward to in the near future?
I am looking forward to quite a few things this year, especially traveling because it's a big part of my life. I think we can choose to store money in the bank or invest in experiences, and I choose the latter. With the brand, we have three exciting collaborations with leaders of the art, design and travel segment. This is going to be a big year for Vifa in Thailand.
Last question—What is your personal favourite speaker?
The Helsinki. It's tiny but so powerful, and it's portable like a handbag.

The Congress said today that Muhammad Ali Jinnah was never and would never be an icon of this country as it condemned the politics allegedly being played out by the BJP to create polarisation and communalisation.
Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi accused the BJP of provoking sentiments and communalising the atmosphere by raking up an "artificial" issue of Jinnah's picture at Aligarh Muslim University, which has led to violence in the Uttar Pradesh town.
He charged the BJP with doing "dirty politics of sensationalism, divisiveness, polarisation" and said this needed to be condemned.
"I can clarify unequivocally that Jinnah is not, has never been and should not be an icon in this country in any way. He was a part of the freedom struggle at one time, but certainly he is no icon of this country," he told reporters.
"...the issue raised today is purely an artificial issue, the issue raised today is only for polarisation. The issue raised today is only for communalisation," he said.
Singhvi said if a photograph is hanging for decades and a group of people suddenly enter and deliberately make provocative statements and try and do identity politics and provoke people before the election, "this is equally condemnable".
"This is the dirty politics of sensationalism, divisiveness, polarisation, which only one party for the last 70 years and before that for another 50 years has been precisely practising," he said.
A Samajwadi Party MP today likened Muhammad Ali Jinnah to Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru as tension simmered at Aligarh Muslim University, the centre of a row over a portrait of the Pakistan founder.
The administration suspended internet services in communally-sensitive Aligarh district from 2 pm today to midnight tomorrow to prevent "rumour mongering".
AMU students continued their sit-in at the university's Baab-e-Syed gate, where they had clashed with the police on Wednesday.
They are boycotting classes for the next two days.
Wednesday's clash took place when the students were demanding action against right-wing protesters who had entered the campus and wanted Jinnah's portrait removed from the student union office, where it has been hanging for decades.

Alfalfa is like crack to them, I swear.
Before the price of hay skyrocketed, they were getting alfalfa every third feeding. Unfortunately, that would have more than doubled the hay budget for our barn owner (and in turn raised our board), so they are getting a 3-way that they all seem to like pretty well. Even Forrest, the pickiest hay connoisseur I know, snarfs it all all up. I know Peter shopped around for good hay and did the best he could without selling his first (and only) born child, and the horses are all holding weight and certainly getting enough to eat, so in my book he's done his job for my horses.
But as much as they like the hay, it is not (NOT) alfalfa, so we have been buying some and giving it to them as a treat.
There is an art to the enjoyment of the alfalfa.
Bar likes to toss it and snuffle through it for whatever the tastiest parts are.
Forrest wants me to just leave him alone with it so he can savor it's tasty goodness.
There is something completely relaxing about the sound of horses chewing. Nom, nom, nom.

c. Reminder of God's judgment
2. Living Stones vs. 5 (Us)
This is a paradox – stones have no life

c. Reminder of God's judgment
3. Spiritual house vs. 5
a. You are being built – an action on going
b. Idea of a community of believers
c. Supersedes any material building
d. Supersedes any one location/language/style
4. Holy priesthood vs. 5
a. Means you (as a believer) are a minister

1. There are hard words in the Bible
Double predestination

Race Arcade is a top down racing game with heavy influence from the retro classics, it may not quench the thirst from the classics of the past but it does have that nostalgic feel.
The campaign is set up per vehicle you can play as: Rallycar, Formula, Motorbike, Sports Car, Tractor or UFO, you'll start off with the Rally Car and will complete in 5 Races on easy to win the Motor Alphabets Cup which then moves on to the Student Of Engines cup (10 races) on a medium difficulty and lastly Master Of Races cup (15 races) with each difficulty level comes a different cash reward, for instance on easy you'll win £100,00 for coming 1st, £70,000 for coming second and £50,000 for coming third, with your winnings you can purchase another vehicle and move on to the next set of races, each race per cup is a different track which gives an overall amount of about 100 unique tracks, you get to pick the colour of your vehicle before starting said career path but sadly that's about it for customisation on this retro classic themed racing game.
The game plays as you would expect it, like a retro top down racing game, each vehicle handles differently for instance the sports car will throw it's rear end out and drift at any possible chance whereas the motorbike accelerates faster than anything else and can whip around corners with ease, this all adds to the difficulty increment when working your way through the championship cups, I found the Sports Car to be the most difficult to manage and the Formula wasn't too easy either! But the Motorbike which sits in between these two vehicles when purchasing was a breeze, I guess it will come down to your preferred play style but for me it was too drastic of a change and didn't compliment the game, if anything it just made it feel more of a grind.
Along with the championship cups you also have a single race option which lets you select any track and race multiple vehicle types at once, this was a tricky one at times as I always found the motorbike AI to be in first position! Along with that you also have Time Trial, this was a personal favourite, complete a lap and race your ghost, with every lap you have a new ghost to face, this can help you iron out any mistakes and go into corners at different angles etc to get the best overall time which can only help with the main campaign!. I did expect Race Arcade to be a case of press for accelerator and that's that but you will have to use your brakes for certain corners depending on the vehicle you're using, a level of skill is definitely required, this isn't an easy game by any means!
You can also play a local couch co-op mode with up to 6 of your friends, this can make or break friendships as the smallest tap to the rear of a vehicle can knock yourself or your opponent off course, I would have liked an online multiplayer to see how Race Arcade stood with online matchmaking but sadly it is local only.
Opposed to the title screen the rest of the artwork wouldn't look out of place on an original Xbox or PS2, this is to be expected with it being heavily influenced from the retro top down racers, along with the retro themed artwork you also have the annoying retro arcade music playing on repeat over and over! Sadly I found this extremely annoying and had the music muted whilst playing, on top of that I did notice the audio levels being extremely loud when on the normal standard setting, even turning it down to the lowest option was still quite loud! Sadly none of this appealed to me at all.

Weekday Get-a-Ways
As a 9 to 5er or weekend warrior, your climbing to do list can pile up quickly. You often only get one day outside every week. If your skin sucks or if the weather sucks or if you suck there goes your chance at the project.
|The 'drop' in to Wolverine Land
Living in a place where rock climbing is easily accessible can help mitigate the problem, though the motivation and energy to keep up any regular routine is hard to come by. Thankfully, I have found that energy (or a late cup of coffee) a few times this summer. Quick trips to either Guanella Pass or Lincoln Lake during the week help tide you over at the cost of being wrecked at work the next day. I managed to take down some classics including Dark Horse (V9/10), Crimping Matters (V9/10), and Mind Matters (V11/12) at Guanella and Phobos (V11), The Exfoliator (V12), and Evil Backwards (V13) at Lincoln.
With winter creeping in, the road to Lincoln Lake is closing, which signals it's time to shift gears away from the high alpine climbing.

cauliflower carbonara
I take secret (actually not so secret now I'm writing on here) pleasure in looking into the fridge and making up a recipe to use up the seemingly incompatible ingredients inside. Making something delicious out of nothing.
Yesterday was a perfect case of that, we'd been out all day schlepping around the country on trains visiting friends. We returned home tired and hungry, having spent the day eating lots of delicious sweet things, picnic food and not many veggies. We hadn't known if we'd be having dinner out or not so hadn't planned or shopped for dinner. Faced with eggs, a cauliflower, 3 cheese straws, a small bit of cheese and a couple of slices of bacon I was a bit stumped. Then inspiration hit and I pulled together this concoction in about 30 minutes (only really 10 mins of active cooking).
It was so good and tasted just like an indulgent carbonara pasta but without the heavy carbs. It was also akin to a cauliflower cheese but so much simpler to make. My toddlers loved it too. I will be making it again very soon either on its own or as a side to roast chicken when I'm trying to go easy on pasta or potatoes but still want some bulk in my dinner.
If you wanted to make a traditional pasta carbonara replace all or part of the cauli with cooked pasta. Toss the pasta into the bacon at stage 6 before adding the egg. Still add the crumbs and lemon! Don't underestimate the transforming effect of the final bit of lemon juice and zest and the crunch of the crumbs.
You can pick up all the equipment I use through my shop.
Ingredients serves 2 as a main or 4 as a side
The veg
1 cauliflower broken into florets
1 head broccoli broken into florets (optional)
1 teaspoon olive oil
A pinch each of sea salt and chili flakes
The carbonara
3 egg yolks plus 1 whole egg
1 handful (around 3oz or 100g) grated Parmesan or mature Cheddar cheese – Trader Joe's Unexpected Cheddar works well
Lots cracked black pepper (around half a teaspoon)
4 slices bacon, cut into thin strips with scissors
2 cloves garlic, finely sliced
Optional – 2 tablespoons creme fraiche and a handful finely shredded basil
To finish
Juice and zest of half a lemon
Crunch – either half cup breadcrumbs, toasted in a pan with half a teaspoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt and black pepper or 3 crushed cheese straws (I used the M&S ones as we had them leftover from our picnic, in the US Trader Joe's sell similar)
To make
1. Preheat oven to 200c, 400F while you chop your cauli and broccoli.
2. Toss the cauli and broccoli in a big bowl with the oil, salt and chili flakes (or black pepper) then tip onto a large metal baking sheet before cooking for around 25 minutes. Check after 10 minutes and give them a shake.
3. While the cauli cooks, heat a large frying pan and snip the bacon directly into it. I didn't need to use oil as I was using a non stick Scanpan. Over a medium high heat, cook the bacon, shaking occasionally until it is brown and crisp.
4. While the bacon cooks, separate the eggs and mix the yolks of 3 of them with a whole egg. Add these to the grated cheese, lots of black pepper and optional creme fraiche. No need to add salt as the bacon and cheese are salty. Set aside.
5. Next, slice the garlic and add it to the crisp bacon pan along with the bacon. Cook over a medium heat until the garlic softens but doesn't turn brown. If need be, turn this pan off if your veggies need longer to cook.
6. When cauli is ready (nice and golden and starting to soften) toss it into the pan of bacon and garlic and put the pan back on a medium high heat. Add basil at this stage too if using.
7. Keep heat on and add the egg mixture to the pan of bacon, garlic and veg. Keep stirring with a spatula so that the egg mixture coats the veggies and cook for around 2 mins. The egg will thicken as it cooks so keep moving it to ensure it coats the veggies rather than turning into scrambled egg. It should be the texture of mayonnaise as it coats the vegetables.
8. Plate up and top with the crumbs, lemon juice and zest and serve immediately. If I'd had some in the fridge, this would have been perfect with a lemon and olive oil dressed watercress or rocket (arugula) salad.
I'd love to see what you end up with, so remember to share this on my Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Pinterest when you make it. Tag it #ystcook so I can see!

The Tianjin Teda versus Beijing Guoan derby match – also known as the Jing-Jin Derby – is fast gaining a reputation as one of the most anticipated and fiercely contested fixtures of the season in the Chinese Super League.
The vitriol exemplified by both sets of players and fans alike has escalated in recent years.
Long considered merely the smaller neighbors of Guoan, Tianjin's newfound success has seen them become genuine contenders in China, with a runner-up finish in the CSL last season leading to Asian Champions League qualification for the second time in three years.
Tianjin Teda currently boast no fewer than five Chinese full internationals, and are managed by Dutch legend Arie Haan. They also possess one of the finest Chinese prospects around at the moment in the precociously talented Yu Dabao who spent time playing with Portuguese giants Benfica before returning to China last year.
Historically, Beijing Guoan's main rivalry has been with Shanghai Shenhua who have traditionally performed at around the same level in the Chinese Super League. But Tianjin Teda have made great strides in recent seasons and are now considered by many of the club's fans to be Beijing Guoan's arch rivals. Defeat against the "baozi" (as Guoan fans call Teda and their players) has become unthinkable for Beijing supporters.
From being the 'little brothers', Tianjin Teda have grown to be regarded as one of the top teams in China which has led to the obvious geographic rivalry between the two clubs intensifying.
Brandon Chemers is a football writer who specializes in the Chinese Super League. He says that while the rivalry's roots lay in the two clubs' status as close neighbors, it has definitely developed into something more in recent seasons.
"For some of the older Beijing fans, Shanghai will always be the biggest derby match," says Chemers. "But as Tianjin have started coming up, the rivalry has definitely intensified […] The Tianjin rivalry has surpassed it in intensity level ."
In recent seasons crowd trouble had become an unwelcome feature of the Jing-Jin Derby clash which led to both sides banning away supporters from attending the match from the start of last season.
Violent clashes with police marred a thrilling encounter in Beijing between the two sides in 2009 when Tianjin fans lit a Beijing Guoan jersey on fire and hurled objects onto the pitch during and after the match.
The most recent encounter between the two at the Workers' Stadium in Beijing back in June ended in a 1-1 draw after a furiously contested match which saw Yu Dabao taunting home supporters after putting Tianjin into a first half lead, and Beijing Guoan manager Jaime Pacheco sent off for making an obscene gesture at the Tianjin bench. A fracas later ensued after a seemingly legitimate Tianjin goal was chalked off, before Roberto equalized for Guoan to ensure the match ended in a stalemate. The rivalry has now produced a draw in five of the last seven encounters between the two sides.
Brandon Chemers has attended the Jing-Jin Derby for the past few years and he says he has noticed an intensifying of the antipathy between the two teams in recent seasons.
"It's definitely growing. It seems to have carried over onto the pitch too," says Chemers. "There have been some brutal tackles, red cards and a lot of arguing and fighting recently."
This season's return fixture will be at the Jinmen Tiger's TEDA Football Stadium next month. That game will come towards the climax of this CSL campaign and with Beijing set to battle with Guangzhou for this season's league title, and Tianjin preparing for another tilt at qualification for the Asian Champions League, the tie could provide another spicy chapter in the two clubs' developing rivalry .

In the midst of the chaos occurring all around the world, it's difficult to even grasp what peace is actually meant to look like.
When was the last time you had a burning question that was so pressing, you spent a considerable amount of time and effort trying to find the answer?
A New Perspective
Advent: derived from the Latin word "Adventus", meaning "coming."
How often do you have something in mind before you do it? Do you plan out exactly what your semester will look like before it starts? Or make big decisions in your head before consulting family and friends or God first? As Greeks, most of us are used to planning our lives and our days out down to the minute. Since most of us are very busy, this is a must. But sometimes we take it to extremes.

"Happy Valentine's Day"
[Intro: Andre 3000]
My name is Cupid Valentino, the modern day Cupid
And I just want to say one thing
[Verse 1: Andre 3000]
Happy Valentine's Day
Every day the 14th!
I don't think y'all heard me!
I just wanna say Happy Valentine's Day!
Every day the 14th!
Can y'all dig that?
Now when arrows don't penetrate, see
Cupid grabs the pistol (Uh, yeah, now, now lookie here!)
And he shoots straight for your heart
And when he won't miss you!
That's alright 'cause y'all won't believe in me anyways
[Hook: Joi & "Skreechy Peachy" (Andre 3000)]
Ya won't believe in me, but you would fancy
leprechauns or groundhogs
No thank you, Easter Bunny!
(There's all this talk about Santa Claus, but see
love will rule reign supreme)
[Verse 2: Andre 3000]
Happy Valentine's Day
Every day the 14th! (You got it!)
When Cupid knocks at your door
You can't ignore me!
There's no need to run!
So, Happy Valentine's Day (Hey!)
Every day the 14th!
I may have it all wrong, see
If you know what loves mean, well
Well, somebody tell me!
'Cuz they just don't believe in me!
[Hook: Joi & "Skreechy Peachy" (Andre 3000)]
Ya' won't believe in me, but you would fancy
leprechauns or groundhogs
No thank you, Easter Bunny!
(There's so much fuss about Santa Claus, but see
Cupid will not be defeated!)
[Verse 3: Andre 3000]
Happy Valentine's Day
Every day the 14th!
Now I know your hearts have grown cold
And that bothers me
Now I understand 'cause I use to be a bad boy in my day
I know you're trying to protect your lil' feelings
but you can't run away
Oooh ooh!
[Hook: Joi & "Skreechy Peachy" (Andre 3000)]
Ya' won't believe in me, but you would fancy..
(Hey! Don't you supposed to be some kind of player or something?)
[Talking: Andre 3000]
Well keep on runnin', player
'Cause I got my good shoes on
And I got 'em tied up tight
So, you're going to find out tonightttttttttt!
[Verse 4: Andre 3000]
Got a sweet lil' darling back in my corner
Below I know I love her, but act like I don't want her
Surrounded by the lonely, but yet feel like a loner
Could be an organ donor
The way I give up my heart, but
Never know because – shit, I never tell her!
Ask me about my feelings I'd holla' that it's irrela'
I don't get myself caught up in the Jello gella'
And puddin' pops, that others opt to call falling in love, but
For the record, have you ever rode a horse?
Would I like for you to take me to Pluto?
I said, "Of course!"
But if you ain't a sweety indeedy, I won't endorse
Hans Solo till I'm hit by the bullet, so may the force
Be with you, and I'll hit you when better time permits
For now, give me examples of why you're the shit!
But how am I to know with the profession that I'm in?
And if you do not know me, then how could you be my friend?
[Chorus: Andre 3000, Joi, and "Skreechy Peachy"]
Happy Valentine's, Happy Valentine's
Happy Valentine's Day, Happy Valentine's Day
[Continue Chorus until fade]

We screened The Room a few weeks ago for a few friends, and it's everything the AV Club says about it, and so much more. It is the worst movie you will ever love. It is a low-budget romantic drama filmed at massive expense by a writer-director whose script suggests the deft social observations of an autistic Objectivist with a severe injury to the right temporal-parietal junction of his brain. The dialogue is not merely wooden, but petrified. And the actors seem to be reading it off cue cards located somewhere over the left shoulder of whomever they happen to be talking to.
The end result is a sort of anti-genius. I don't think I've laughed so hard at a movie since I saw Ghostbusters at the age of ten. I was, perhaps, helped along just a touch by the companion whiskey-and-sodas we were consuming. But alcohol really isn't necessary. The movie itself is intoxicating.
