It takes a person of extraordinary perseverance to excel in his profession or calling. Imagine being chased out of your country or being forced to flee, such as are refugees. There have been people who have risen up from grueling circumstances and made a name for themselves in the world. And there were also those who were already well-known and didn't let circumstances defeat them. You may have heard of some of them, but many names will astonish you. Read on to find out more about these ten people who were refugees, and are now world-famous personalities.
1. Peter Carl Faberge, the creator of the famous Faberge egg, was a celebrated jeweler for the Russian Imperial Court. He fled the country after his business was nationalized in 1918, and died two years later in exile. A single Faberge egg is now worth millions.
Peter Faberge first made an Easter egg fashioned with precious metal and gems in 1885 which he gave to the Tsar who gifted it to his wife. They were so pleased with the workmanship that he was given the title of "Goldsmith by Special Appointment to the Imperial Crown." His House of Faberge had five branch offices and 500 craftsmen under him who made almost 150,000 to 200,000 pieces of work between 1882 and 1917. The company was worth three million rubles. After the October Revolution broke out, his business was taken over and nationalized in 1918. He fled Russia in the same year and went to Riga, Germany, and finally Switzerland where he died. His family was certain that his grief over the revolution broke his heart irreparably, leading to his death.(1,2)
2. Bela Bartok was a Hungarian pianist and composer opposed the Nazi domination as well as Hungary allying with them. He refused to give concerts in Germany and had to go into exile to the US in 1940 because of his anti-fascism.
Bartok is one of the musical geniuses who has been more revered in his death than when he was alive. Born in 1881, he first started performing when he was just 11 years old. In the years preceding World War I, he went around collecting folk music of his land. During the rise of Nazism, he remained staunchly outspoken against their treatment of Jews and the ban on their work, even though he was not a Jew himself. He even said that he would convert to Judaism in order to protest their oppression.
He unwillingly left for the US in 1940 when the World War II was raging across Europe. His research in folk music continued as a visiting assistant at Columbia University where he was also given an honorary Ph.D. He died in 1945, just as the war ended. His remains were sent back to Hungary in 1988, 43 years after his death in exile, and given a state funeral.(source)
3. Freddie Mercury, the lead singer and songwriter of the band Queen, was born Farrokh Bulasara to an Indian-origin Parsi family in 1946 in Zanzibar. His family left the country for the UK in 1964 fearing persecution because of the Zanzibar Revolution where Arabs and South Asians were killed in the thousands.
You would know him best as the guy who rocked songs like "We are the Champions" and "Bohemian Rhapsody." However, not many would be aware Freddy Mercury was actually Gujarati Parsi by origin and spent most of his childhood in India before going back to live with his parents in Zanzibar. They had moved there for work and continued to live there until their forced departure because of the peril of the revolution in 1964 when Freddy was just 17. Freddy Mercury went on to have a successful career in the music industry. Unfortunately, he died at a relatively young age of 45 in 1991 due to an illness resulting from AIDS.
As a member of Queen, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 posthumously, and he ranked 58 in the 100 Greatest Britons poll which was conducted in 2002.(source)
4. Karl Marx was a renowned philosopher who formulated the idea of communism and wrote one of the most significant political texts, "The Communist Manifesto." He was also shunned from country to country because of his explosive political ideologies and finally went to London in 1849 to live out the rest of his life as a stateless person.
Karl Marx, born in 1818, is one of the most renowned political thinkers in the world. The theory of Marxism and his writings are still being studied and admired more than a hundred years after his death. Sadly, he was forced to live out most of his adult life in exile. He was ousted from Paris in 1885 after which he lived in Brussels until he had to surrender his Prussian citizenship. He then moved to London in 1849 and lived there until his death in 1883.
Marx has often been hailed as "one of the principal architects of modern social science," and his work has influenced economic thought, leftist politics, labor unions, and even other philosophers and artists. Although he has also been an object of criticism, his contribution to the world is undeniable.(source)
5. Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, was voted the refugee who has made the most significant contribution to British life in a poll in 2013. He was also a Jew. In 1933, his books were burned by the Nazis. Nevertheless, he continued to hope for things to get better. But when the Gestapo interrogated his wife, he was forced to take stock and leave Austria in 1938 at the age of 79 to avoid Nazi persecution.
His work has spurred some of the most furious debates in psychology. He paved the way for modern psychology by introducing a communication between the patient and the doctor. He devised therapeutic techniques like transference, free association, and also introduced sexuality, dream analysis, and theory of unconsciousness into mainstream psychology. He received the Goethe Prize in 1930 for his contribution to psychology and literature. He was forced to leave his practice and home in 1938 once it became clear that the Nazis would continue to persecute Jews. He died a year later in the UK.(1,2)
6. Albert Einstein, one of the greatest minds in history, was a German theoretical physicist who faced accusations of treason by the Nazis. In 1933, following the seizing of his property and burning of his books, he gave up his citizenship to go to the US where he lived out his life. Once safe, he and his wife worked hard to get US visas for other Jewish refugees from Germany.
Albert Einstein was a German Jew and was quite prominent in academic and political circles as a pacifist. Best known for his theory of relativity and the equation E=mc2, he was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1921 for his work in physics. He was also vocal about his political inclinations which earned him disfavor among the Nazis. In 1933, it became almost impossible for a Jew to hold any official position, including that of a professor. Soon, his works were discredited by the Third Reich and he stood accused of treason. He left for the US later that year, in 1933.(source)
7. Thomas Mann, the winner of Nobel Prize in literature in 1929 and the famed author of Doctor Faustus, fled Germany in 1939 after the outbreak of WWII. He was one among the very few Germans in the US who publicly criticized the Nazi regime, even recording and sending anti-Nazi speeches broadcasted by BBC in Germany.
In 1933, when Thomas Mann was on a visit to France, he was prompted to cancel his return to Germany on account of Hitler's rise to power. His German citizenship was withdrawn in 1936 by the Nazis. He moved to the US in 1939 where he took up a teaching position at Princeton University. In 1940, enraged by the state of affairs back home, he began recording eight-minute-long, monthly broadcasts denouncing Hitler's regime. Mann was also a proponent of Exillieratur or German literature written by refugees or those opposed to the Nazis. He returned to Switzerland in 1952, but never went back to live in Germany.(1,2)
8. Henry Kissinger, the US Secretary of State for Richard Nixon and 1973 Nobel Peace Prize winner, was born into an orthodox Jewish family in Germany. He faced a lot of anti-Semitism growing up, with the Nazi youth assaulting him and his friends often. His family left for the US in 1938 when Henry was 15. In a twist of fate, five years later, he was drafted into the army and shipped off to Germany to fight against the Nazis.
The family was quite poor upon their arrival, but Henry was determined to study and do well. When he returned from the war in 1947, he joined Harvard University to do his undergraduate studies. He eventually completed his Ph.D. from there and accepted a position in the faculty in 1954. Henry Kissinger is best known for his Vietnam Accords, for which he won the Nobel Peace Prize. His other notable contributions were negotiating the SALT Treaty and Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 1972, which cooled the tensions between US and USSR, and also for normalizing relations between China and USA in 1979.(source)
9. Sergey Brin is one of the co-founders of Google and the 13th-richest person in the world today. In 1979, right in the middle of the Cold War, his father decided to leave the USSR because of increased anti-Semitic sentiment. Sergey was just six years old then.
In 1979, the Brin family was given the required documents that would help them to leave the USSR as refugees. They were one of the last lot of Jews to be granted these papers until Gorbachev came into power. They received help from the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society in Vienna, were first sent to Paris, then finally to Maryland in the USA. The family was given a 2,000-dollar loan by the local Jewish community. It was a tough beginning in school for Sergey because of his thick accent. Nonetheless, he assimilated into the society and was thankful to his father for getting the family out of the Soviet Union. He got into Stanford on scholarship in 1993 but dropped his Ph.D. studies to found Google with Larry Page.(1,2)
10. Madeleine Albright, born Marie Jana Korbelová in Czechoslovakia, was the first woman US Secretary of State. In 1938, when Hitler dissolved Czechoslovakia, her family went into exile to London because of their political links. As a child, she was cast as a refugee in a film that was made to create sympathy for refugees of war in London.
The family went back to Prague after the war but were forced out again when Communist Party of Czechoslovakia came into power in 1948. Her father got a position in a UN delegation and sent the rest of the family to the US that same year. Albright was unaware of her Jewish heritage well into her adulthood. She came to know that many of her relatives, including her three grandparents, were killed in the Holocaust. She began her career as a journalist and later studied political science at Columbia University.
Bill Clinton appointed Madeleine Albright as Ambassador to the United Nations from 1993 to 1997, after which she was made the first woman Secretary of State. Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012.(source)

conversion rate optimization
Conversion rate optimization (CRO) is any systematic method that user experience professionals implement to maximize the number of visitors to a website, blog, or other online landing page who become customers or perform another call to action. A call to action (CTA) is any desired activity the company wants a website user to complete, such as requesting a quote, subscribing to a service, signing up for emails, adding a product to the cart or creating an account. This rate is a combination of analytics and user feedback and is calculated by finding the percentage of visitors who convert to customers.
The first phase in the process of CRO is the research and hypothesis phase. Once patterns of barriers and successful upticks in customer behavior are discovered, companies attempt to pinpoint the conditions that led to the desired result. These conditions are then prioritized, recreated and tested with the goal of increasing conversion rates and lowering cost acquisition per customer. User experience testing is fundamental in CRO to ensure that visitors are successfully navigating the site and achieving the desired effect.
Some methods that have been proven to improve conversion rates include creating less work for visitors, making specific call to action buttons stand out with web design and getting rid of features that users find unpleasant like banners. Another method to improve CRO is to make contacting sales and support professionals as easy as possible. For example, displaying a phone number in large font at the top of the page, or implementing a live chat function helps customers save time and builds trust. The target areas to begin the CRO process are high traffic, under-optimized web pages and blog posts.

Q | feat ure | R Turning Over Annet King , D irector of Gl ob a l Edu c a t i o n , D e r m a l og i c a / Th e Inte r n a t i o n a l De r m al In st it ute Our skin is a renewable resource. But like our air, oceans and planet, there are thresholds of exhaustion and depletion which, once crossed, may be devastating. When you or your students are approaching the topic of exfoliation with clients, it is crucial to put this aspect of skin care into context. Over-exfoliation is perhaps one of the most common skin mishaps we see among consumers. Skin-savvy female consumers in particular desire more glowing, polished and radiant Hollywood starlet skin, yet tend to overdo it—sometimes to a drastic extreme. If these cells are not removed effectively as the result of age, illness or some other factor, the resulting accumulation gives the skin a dull and ashy—even flakey—appearance, accentuating fine lines around the eyes and mouth and increasing congestion and breakouts in acne-prone skin. Thick accumulation of cells also prevents product ingredients from reaching the deeper layers of the skin. Thus, clients investing in professional skin treatment serums and creams are wasting their money if they are not adequately exfoliating, as penetration is impaired. Gentle exfoliation keeps these debris from accumulating. Today, the market is full of exfoliants that are gentle enough to use daily, such as superfi ne powders and scrubs containing silky microparticles of rice bran, phytic acid or corncob meal. These lift dead cell debris using only the mildest bit of mechanical action, and still leave the lipid barrier robust and intact. The Science of Exfoliation Clients need to begin with the basic understanding that skin is a living organism. The term "exfoliation" comes from the Latin word for leaf, which is "folio," as in "foliage." This may be a helpful analogy when we think of trees in parks and gardens. When they are well-pruned and trimmed, they flourish. But when a deciduous tree drops its leaves in winter, or a plant is stripped of all its leaves and bark by a chemical defoliant, the results are bleak. Without leaves and protective tough bark, the tree is unprotected from harsh weather extremes and will lose critical moisture from within. This is precisely what happens when skin is over-exfoliated. Without a healthy lipid barrier and tightly packed layer of cells, the skin loses its own wall of protection and internal moisture quickly evaporates. The skin cannot effectively guard itself from invading organisms and environmental assault through free radicals, which are predominantly responsible for the visible signs of aging we see on the skin. Ironically, the same course of action intended to keep the skin vibrant, supple and youthful also results in skin that is fragile, easily sensitized, heals slowly and lacks in structural fortitude. The good news? Our skin is genetically designed for remarkable resilience. Our skin perpetually generates new cells from the stratum germinativum, also known as the stratum basale or basal cell layer. As plump new cells rise from the deepest layer, the outer layers must be discarded. This process of cell renewal relies upon desquamation, or removal of the hardened, dry layer of flat keratinized cells on the surface of the skin.| B EA U TYLIN K | T H E 2 0 1 0 ST UDE NT Expert Intervention As the normal desquamation process slows, clients may seek more aggressive intervention through the expertise of a skin therapist. Before embarking on a professional series of skin resurfacing or exfoliation treatments, the skin therapist must check for possible contraindications. An in-depth skin consultation is essential to developing a safe exfoliation procedure and prescription. A visual and tactile analysis of the skin is essential to verify any allergies, nerve activity, causes of hyperpigmentation, products used and past medical procedures. The skin therapist should also take time to ask the client additional questions. For example, a client that has recovered from a recent cold may not think to tell you about it, but their cold may have had an effect on their skin. Cold medications and constant nose wiping can dehydrate skin and impair barrier function around the nose and lips. However, this type of incidence is typically overlooked, as it is not a classic contra-indication, such as a prescription vitamin A-derived cream or an oral medication. It should be noted that any medically prescribed exfoliating product must be discussed and possibly discontinued. Likewise, for safety, clients taking oral Isotretinoin within the last six months are also contraindicated to exfoliation and waxing. Keep in mind when training your students that we see the highest amount of litigious action taken by clients because of the professional exfoliation step of skin treatments—which is why signed consent is critical.

Gorgeous UV-, chlorine- and sea-water resistant swimwear made from recycled fishing nets* in Bow, East London. Whether you are swimming for exercise, to teach your children or just relaxing, this bikini is super easy to get into and out of and will make you look and feel fantastic.
The flattering high waisted bikini bottoms are perfect for lengths at your local pool, surfing the waves or simply lazing on a sun lounger. A firm but flush hold and made from our super soft, luxury Italian Lycra® made from ocean waste.
Get your matching swimcrop here.
You can choose to purchase the set or mix and match.
From September '19 Outdoor People will just stock sizes 10 - 16 Monroe. If you'd like other sizes just go to the Deakin and Blue main site. Please do let them know you saw them first here!
- Swimsuit is made from a stretch material made of 78% Polyamide (Recycled), 22% Lycra® (Extra Life).
- Swimwear fabric is made from ECONYL. ECONYL® is 100% regenerated nylon fibre made from fishnets and other nylon waste. These fibres make this swimwear two times more resistant to chlorine, sun cream and oil than standard lycra. (So it's not just a pretty cossie).
- All products are UV-resistant, chlorine and sea-water friendly.
- Made in London, UK.
- All swimwear products are machine wash friendly on a 40 degree wash (we recommend using the Guppy Friend to protect the water from microplastics)
- Please note that regular machine washing will fade colours over time.
- To ensure a long and happy life we recommend simply rinsing your Deakin and Blue costume in cold water and hanging out to dry after use.
Why Outdoor People sell swimwear
Despite 90% of parents agreeing that swimming is a life skill, a third of UK children are unable to swim*. And only 2% of schools surveyed last year delivered the government's recommended 22 hours a year of swimming lessons.
These statistics, plus the proximity of London Fields Lido to our shop, meant when we met the lovely Rosie Cook, founder of the sustainably sourced and London-made swimwear company Deakin and Blue we begged to be one of her first stockists. We are super excited that we now hove a good selection of all her swimsuits to try on in the shop and buy online. And we are now starting to support the campaign to make 'wild swimming' be just 'swimming'.
So whether your weekend dip of choice is the local baths, on outdoor pool or the sea these costumes will make you feel amazing and secure, are easy to put on whatever your size and are UV-resistant, chlorine and sea-water friendly.
Eventually we'll sell kids costumes too, but for now whether you are teaching a child to swim or going by yourself, there is no excuse not to feel great in a swimming costume.

Kristen Stewart shows she's not too cool for SNL with a little help from Melissa McCarthy
Over the past few years, Kristen Stewart has gone from just being That Girl From The Twilight Movies to starring in a few well-acclaimed works by Olivier Assayas, as well as becoming the face of Chanel and Balenciaga. All of this intro-in is mostly me padding for time since I'm not actually sure what she's hosting SNL to promote. There is the fact that the president is obsessed with her relationship with Robert Pattinson – maybe it's a middle finger if he's watching? I'd be all for that if it meant episodes like the one we got tonight.
What You Missed
Cold Open: Trump? Trump.
I love the small details of this sketch, like Kyle's oversized suit and tie, and making Steve Bannon a complete ghoul.
Kate McKinnon's Angela Merkel continues to be my favorite of her impersonations.
That is…an outfit. And also, this is an excellent callback to the weird obsession Donald Trump has with Robert Pattinson/Kristen Stewart
US Customs Video
I'm very down with the edited VHS aesthetic of this sketch

A third Totino's ad! This one may be my favorite.
Press Secretary Spicer
MELISSA MCCARTHY! This is perfect and beautiful and I am only now regaining the ability to breathe.

- Michael and Colin shredding the new administration gives me hope.

Wilkshake replied to 800_series's topic in GamingI've had a similar issue. Starting up the console from the controller, but the lights on the controller continue to flash. To solve it, I just keep the PS button held down until the XMB comes up. Usually by then it's recognised the controller and I'm right to go. Whilst the PS3 is still on (say watching a movie) it's just a short press on the PS button to get the controller to come back on and be connected.

Hampton Area Information
Hampton is an independent city in the Commonwealth of Virginia. As of the 2010 census, the population was 137,436.
As one of the seven major cities that compose the Hampton Roads metropolitan area, it is on the southeastern end of the Virginia Peninsula.
Hampton traces its history to the city's Old Point Comfort, the home of Fort Monroe for almost 400 years, which was named by the 1607 voyagers, led by Captain Christopher Newport, who first established Jamestown as an English colonial settlement. Since consolidation in 1952, Hampton has included the former Elizabeth City County and the incorporated town of Phoebus, consolidating by mutual agreement.
After the end of the American Civil War, historic Hampton University was established opposite from the town on the Hampton River, providing an education for many newly-freed former slaves and for area Native Americans. In the 20th century, the area became the location of Langley Air Force Base, NASA Langley Research Center, and the Virginia Air and Space Center. Hampton features many miles of waterfront and beaches.Source From Wikipedia

Lamar Miller was signed last offseason in free agency by the Houston Texans and was expected to make a major impact last year. Unfortunately, his consistency was a problem all season long. He did end up making an impact, but there were some concerns following the season that he might not live up to the big contract that he was signed to.
That being said, no one can argue with the playmaking potential and talent that Miller possesses. He had issues similar to the ones he had last year during the early stages of his career with the Miami Dolphins, but always found ways to bounce back from them.
Last season with the Texans, Miller finished the season with 268 carries for 1,073 yards and five touchdowns. The fact that those numbers are being viewed as an issue should tell you just how talented Miller has proven himself to be. Those numbers are expected to rise in 2017 with the Texans.
What should the Texans and the NFL expect to see from Miller in the 2017 season?
Quite simply, his numbers are going to increase in a big way. Houston will be relying on Miller to handle a large portion of the offensive workload. Rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson is capable of coming in and making some plays, but Miller will be asked to take a lot of pressure off the young quarterback's shoulders.
Not only will Miller's ground numbers increase as he takes a large portion of the work, he will also improve as a receiver out of the backfield. Watson won't be taking lots of shots deep down the field and the Texans will utilize Miller's speed in the open field as a weapon for Watson. Miller caught 31 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown last season.
It is never easy to predict a players numbers, but there are some reasonable expectations for Miller. He should carry the football at least 325 times for 1,300 yards and will up his touchdown total to at least eight on the season. Miller's workload may increase even more than that, but those numbers are reasonable to expect.
Expect to see the Texans compete for a playoff spot once again in 2017, even with a rookie quarterback leading the way. Miller will have a big role in deciding where the Texans end up at the end of the season and it will be intriguing to see what kind of year he has.
What kind of season do you expect Lamar Miller to have for the Houston Texans in 2017? Let us know your thoughts in the comment box below!

Croatia Leans Toward Immunity for US Troops
Sarajevo (CNSNews.com) -- Croatia appears likely to give U.S. troops some sort of immunity from prosecution at the world's first international criminal court, though the U.S.-imposed deadline to do so passed almost two months ago.
"What we'd be willing to sign would be an agreement that would meet U.S. concerns and our legal obligations," said Croatian deputy foreign minister Ivan Simonovic by telephone from Zagreb. He said another round of talks was slated for this fall.
Croatia was one of three Balkan countries that did not sign a bilateral immunity agreement with the United States by the July 1 deadline.
Bush administration officials fear politically motivated prosecutions of U.S. citizens by the International Criminal Court (ICC), and therefore Congress introduced the American Servicemembers' Protection Act (ASPA), which bars military aid to countries that refuse to grant immunity to U.S. troops.
Several weeks ago, the U.S. suspended $47 million in military aid to 35 countries that had refused to sign by the deadline.
Simonovic said the money - which in Croatia's case amounts to $6 million to $7 million in State Department funds annually - is not the issue.
"It's far more important in some symbolic sense," he said. "The support of the United States and NATO membership is far more important than the military aid."
The other important issue, he said, is that Croatia has applied for membership in the European Union. The E.U. has stated that applicants should not undermine the 1998 Rome Agreement that created the international court.
"It is uncomfortable (for us) because we appreciate very much the relationship we have with the United States, and we have submitted our candidacy to the European Union," he said.
"There have been a couple of statements on behalf of the E.U. that the behavior of the candidate countries will be closely monitored with their obligations arising from the Rome treaty," he said.
Serbia and Montenegro officials have expressed similar concerns, but it appears that they will follow Croatia's lead. Most officials agree that they can ill afford to lose U.S. military aid.
Nearby Bulgaria has not agreed to the immunity deal. Reuters reported this summer that the government has shrugged off the $10 million in aid they were to receive from the U.S.
One of the four Balkan countries that did sign the deal was Bosnia and Herzegovina. Though media reports after the May 16 signing accused the government of caving in to U.S. pressure, a source in the country's foreign ministry said they signed because they didn't want to lose the 1,500 US peacekeepers stationed here.
"(Applying ASPA) to our country would ultimately affect the stay of the U.S. contingent to the NATO Stabilization Forces," said the source, who took part in the negotiations with the United States.
Macedonia, which escaped a near-civil war in 2001 thanks to prompt E.U. and U.S. intervention, signed just before the deadline.
Romania and Albania are the two other Balkan countries that have signed immunity agreements with the United States.

Sean Paul thinks Drake should give more credit to Jamaican music.
The 44-year-old rapper - who hails from Kingston, the capital of Jamaica - has pointed to Drake's use of dancehall music on 'One Dance' and argued he should have given greater ''accolades'' to the country for the hit single.
He explained: ''I think at the time when it was popping off, it would have been good for him to actually put accolades towards the whole culture.
''He's friendly with a few people in the business in Jamaica and that's good, I love it.
''But if he had given more accolades when he was actually making it and said 'this is the music I love', it would have been cool.''
The rap star said Drake has made ''an album full of dancehall'' and therefore, the Jamaican feels he should show more respect towards the genre.
He told Metro.co.uk: ''Ed Sheeran has done one song that is huge and it's dancehall reminiscent.
''But that is one song, he [Drake] had an album full of dancehall so I think he should have paid a bit of an accolade and told people in the press that is where I'm coming from, I have a love for that music.''
Meanwhile, Sean revealed he is gradually getting used to his new-found role of being a dad, having welcomed his first child - a son called Levi Blaze - in February this year.
He quipped: ''It's been three months now and I'm getting the daddy muscles!
''A lot of stuff has changed, but it's only for the better. He's brought light into our lives and we're really thankful.''

India stands 16th in production and 11th in the consumption of machine tools in the world as per the 2014 Gardner Business Media survey. The country is set to become a key player in the global machine tools industry and is likely to see substantial high-end machine tool manufacturing.
Industry experts say that the phenomenon is linked to the spurt in manufacturing, for which the machine tools sector serves as the mother industry. Since, the manufacturing capacity is stagnating and the growth rate for the machine tools industry falling in developed economies, shifting machine tool capacity to low-cost high skill geographies like India, has become imperative.

Lambie, 26, works as a mechanic at Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop in Lawrence, Kansas, and races track for the US national team, but he didn't take the traditional route to the velodrome. He started out in long- distance racing and gravel grinders, setting several cross-state records and placing in the top 10 at Dirty Kanza. It was only later that he found his talents were even better suited to the track—so suited that he won gold in the individual pursuit and silver in the omnium and points race at this year's national championships."

|Broighter gold boat
photo: Ardfern
John Sutton's sculpture of Manannan Mac Lir (Mac Lir means "son of the sea") had been removed in an act of religious vandalism but the damage appears repairable.
It is often difficult to separate what might be called a "culture hero" from a deity and Mannan Mac Lir gave his name to the Isle of Mann. The Broighter gold boat was part of an important hoard of early Celtic art objects and some believe that it was an offering to Manannan Mac Lir, however, the boat served as an icon of the Menapii tribe at the mouth of the Rhine as they controlled the Rhineland sea trade. They also had a presence in Ireland and while the Rhine is often considered a source for the Irish gold which contains platinum inclusions, it is almost certain that if the gold source is actually Asia Minor, then the Rhine was part of the route by which it came to Ireland as the metal type was used neither in Britain nor Gaul. For more background material and illustrations on the hoard, the boat, and the Menapii see my earlier blog entry (Frome hoard).

Onboarding and latest news
Onboarding Programme
Latest news
We want to help the members get on board. The members' council has set this as an important condition for the decision on digital environmental registration and certification.
More information about the implementation of this programme will follow.
Read more about the taken decisions and get inspired by your fellow growers!
- Royal FloraHolland makes environmental certification mandatory by the end of 2021
- Environmental certification is good for the image of the marketplace
- A&P Flowers: "You must have a certificate if customers ask for it"
- KP Holland "Contributing to a sustainable and green living environment"
- Up-to-Date and Reliable Certificate Information on Clock Front
- Reduced MPS-ABC rates stimulate environmental registration and certification
Frequently asked questions
Why has Royal FloraHolland made environmental registration and certification a requirement when supplying to the Royal FloraHolland marketplace?
The market is increasingly demanding transparency regarding the production of flowers and plants, and the business operations of the suppliers. The requirements for this are laid down in certificates and by obtaining a certificate, the grower can reliably demonstrate that it has complied with the set requirements. This enables the buyer to fulfil his/her wish for targeted and efficient certified sustainable procurement.
We are also seeing that the government is pursuing an increasingly stricter policy on sustainability. We can stay ahead of new regulations better by proactively and jointly demonstrating that we are producing in an increasingly sustainable manner.
With the decision to enforce this requirement, we as a cooperative and a company are taking the initiative to make our efforts transparent in a verifiable manner. By doing so, we can jointly protect the reputation of our products, our sector and our common marketplace.
How did this decision come about?
The process to reach this decision has been carefully completed. After a period of intensive cooperation between the Sustainability Leading Team (consisting of growers) and the Sustainable Development Team of RFH and on the basis of member consultations in 2018 and 2019, a concrete approach was developed that leads to mandatory environmental registration and certification for all suppliers to the RFH marketplace. On 10 October 2019, the Members' Council issued a positive recommendation on this approach, and set a number of binding preconditions. On 27 October 2019, the Management Board decided to proceed with implementation, aware that the set preconditions still have to be met, but with the confidence that they will.
What is the status with regard to meeting the preconditions?
The emphasis is on meeting the following three preconditions:
- Informing and 'onboarding' our members
- Improved accessibility of existing certifying organisations
- Alternatives for environmental registration and certification
Re 1. The process of informing and 'onboarding' started during the member consultation sessions in 2018 and 2019. This will be followed by a communication and activation campaign with meetings at various locations When the time is right. We collaborate with the FPCs in order to reach as many growers as possible.
The meetings still to be organised are aimed at activating growers to start the digital registration process leading to an environmental certificate. They will receive information about the options available. After these activation sessions and depending on demand, extra sessions will be organised for growers who need help in making their choice of registration tool or certification and in practicing digital registration.
Re 2. With the new MPS ABC 3.0 scheme, MPS fully complies with the standards for environmental registration and environmental certification. Therefore, growers who want to get started can already register there. MPS has already agreed to come up with a separate rate for the first year of registration. The total fee - the certification rate - will be charged in the second year, MPS has lowered the prices for small growers. For more information go to the MPS website: www.my-mps.com.
Re 3. We are working on creating an alternative registration tool and certification to MPS, so that growers have a choice regarding environmental registration and environmental certification. Moreover, it is essential that the registration tool is congruent with the criteria and methodology of existing schemes such as GlobalG.A.P. This coordination is essential and discussions about this are currently being held with various organisations. We expect to have more clarity about this in the second quarter of this year.
To whom does this obligation apply and from when?
This obligation applies to all suppliers (member or non-member) of our marketplace. From 31 December 2020, every supplier must demonstrably carry a digital environmental registration via one of the market-based registration tools. Furthermore, each supplier must have registered with one of the certifying organisations by this date. By 31 December 2021 at the latest, every supplier must have a market-compliant environmental certificate.
Why is it necessary for growers to obtain an environmental certificate in addition to all the (legally) mandatory registrations?
The legally mandatory registrations don't fully cover the environmental requirements made by the market. An environmental certificate does: a digital environmental registration linked to a scheme is validated with an audit and possibly sampling. This way, the environmental performance of a grower can be recorded in a transparent and reliable manner.
Digital and uniform registration is also important. There is a great need in the sector for reliable, secure data and information to meet future developments such as footprints and environmental impact indicators. These developments also help us to strengthen the reputation of the products, the sector and our market place.
How many members currently have a certificate?
Most members realise that the market demands transparency with regard to the way in which their flowers and plants are produced and that this must be demonstrated by means of a certificate. Currently, roughly 60% of our members are not yet certified. This is often the case because their customers do not or do not consistently ask for it, and because they believe that obtaining a certificate is too complex and/or too expensive. Ultimately, everyone will have to comply with the set obligation.
How can I make my certification known?
In our marketplace, it is possible for growers to show how sustainable their production is by providing certificates, among other things. Buyers can include certificates in their selection/search criteria and thus find certified offers quickly and efficiently.
What are the requirements that an environmental registration and certification must meet? What is 'market-compliant'?
The requirements are established by the Floriculture Sustainability Initiative. The registration involves the standardised and digital recording of the crop protection products, fertilisers and water and energy consumption on a monthly basis. These are things the law requires you to keep a record of already. This statutory requirement now also requires you to register this information digitally. In addition, a plan for Integrated Pest Management is requested. Requirements by FSI are set for certification, in particular regarding the way in which inspection (audit and possible sampling) of the registration takes place.
Will sanctions be imposed if growers do not meet the mutually agreed upon requirements in time?
We would prefer not to force anyone, but to be honest, the market is forcing us. During consultation sessions with members, however, it was indicated that it is important to maintain a clear position in order to encourage everyone to take action. Enforcement can be imposed in various ways, and the Sustainability Leading Team is currently working on a proposal to be submitted to the Members' Council.
Is it already possible to start registering digitally? Are there any other registration options?
We are working on an alternative registration tool, where it is essential that the registration tool is congruent with the criteria and methodology of existing schemes such as GlobalG.A.P. Discussions are currently taking place with various organisations. We expect to have more clarity about this in the second quarter of this year.
Will Royal FloraHolland help me get started with registration and certification?
Yes, this is an important condition that has been set by the Members' Council. Together with the Leading Team we will set up an 'onboarding' programme with information sessions. The approach here is to help the members as much as possible to get them on board. More information about the content of this programme will follow.
What does this gradual introduction look like? Will an MPS GAP/GlobalG.A.P. certificate be required by 31/12/2021?
The mandatory environmental certificate is being introduced in three steps:
Digital environmental registration* for all suppliers
No later than 31 December 2020
* This means:
MPS registration tool linked to MPS ABC scheme is currently satisfactory. We are working on an alternative tool.
Environmental certificate** for all suppliers
No later than 31 December 2021
**Currently MPS, ABC, KFC (Kenia only) and Florverde (Colombia only) comply with this. We are working on an alternative in this area as well.
Compliance with the FSI sustainability standards
No date has been set yet.
Compliance with FSI sustainability standards, not only in environmental terms, but also in terms of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and, for high-risk countries, in social terms.

Camping Tips
I used Copic markers to color the image and chalked the sky. There is a little bit of yellow stickles on the campfire and the sentiment is computer generated. I sponged some rust ink around the edges of the card. Here's a look at the inside of the card.
Enjoy your day!

The Classic American Tee, Meet Abby Moriarty From 1920
Introduce yourself. Where are you originally from? Where did you learn your craft?
My name is Abby Moriarty and I am from Minneapolis originally. Growing up I always was a creative kid, I could spend hours sewing clothes for my troll dolls or decorating my hand built dollhouse with wallpaper scraps my parents gave me. I moved myself out to Los Angeles at 20 years old to put myself through fashion school. After graduation my first job was in Knitwear. From there I propelled fast into a career as a Knitwear Designer. In 2008, I moved to NYC to work for Express, then moved onto Calvin Klein where I spent 8 years of my career, ending as the Vice President of Women's Design overseeing all categories of Design. Due to restructuring about 6 months after Raf Simons arrival I found myself (and my entire team) without a job. That was when I sat back and thought about what I really wanted and what the future could look like.
After a lot of thought and reflection I decided I wanted to create a brand that could tell a story that I could be proud of. I decided to focus on timeless essentials; the classic American made Tee shirt. I wanted my brand to be artistically driven, not trend driven. I wanted my brand to be made in the US from US grown materials, I wanted to sell direct to consumer so that I could really give my customers what they wanted. I looked at all the things that bothered me about the industry (fast, fast, fast, disposable, wasteful, the adverse effects on the environment, price gouging, the wholesale model, I could go on but you get the idea) and decided to take everything I have learned and do everything I could, to do something different.
That is when I created 1 9 2 0 and founded it on modernist design principles that honor simplicity, form and function over unnecessary frills with a focus on shape, color and material. We are a collection of refined, elevated T-shirts for men and women.
Explain the story behind the name of your company, how and why you chose it.
The brand takes it name from the year that the T-shirt was officially entered into Webster's Dictionary.
What were some of your original inspirations behind creating a company dedicated to high quality t-shirts?
I have always been drawn to the simple complexity of the T-shirt; how it withstands time and trends while consistently maintaining relevancy and modernity. My travels around the world have been an inspiring influence on my career and life. Through my travels, I discovered that I naturally gravitated towards Scandinavian modernist design and 1 9 2 0 leans on the same essential principles that made some of best designs of the modernist era still relevant and widely regarded today.
Why do you think the T-shirt is such an important piece to have?
The Tee shirt to me is everything. Your favorite Tee shirt can be as important to you as anything. When you find the perfect fabric, the perfect cut, it is the piece you dread the laundromat losing and cannot imagine your life without. It is the piece you can wear on a Saturday with denim, it is the piece you can dress up and throw a jacket on top of, or tuck into a trouser and take a meeting. The tee shirt is incredibly versatile and timeless. It is an American classic that I believe should be celebrated.
What is something valuable you have learned through working with multiple brands in the fashion industry?
The value of exceptional leadership; I get totally giddy about that. Before launching 1920 I was VP of Design at Calvin Klein and lead a team of 13 designers. Great leadership can empower lives and careers, it's absolutely amazing how you can help to shape so many lives and achieve great success through simply being a good leader.
What has been your greatest struggle obstacle so far? How did you continue to persevere through those adversities?
It has been most difficult being a one woman show and wearing the hats of design director, fit technician, accountant, marketing director and shipping and logistics manager… all in the same day! But it has been a challenge that drives me to do better and has opened my mind to learn a new batch of skill sets that I maybe would have never used before. Flexing all of these muscles daily now makes me feel whole. When you think you cant, you realize you CAN!
If you could go back in time, what advice would you give to yourself about starting your brand and business?
I would have taken more advice from my merchandising friends. I would ask more questions and not be so stubborn thinking I could do it all on my own the first time perfectly. Ask. Seek. Listen … while also trusting your gut!
Do you have any hacks for starting a small business?
I suggest starting a business that relates to your industry, something you have great knowledge in, and ask questions. I enrolled in night classes at F.I.T. before launching, studying aspects of the industry that I was not as versed in; such as writing business plans. There are so many resources out there, use them. Talk to friends who have started businesses. Champion each other, learn from each other, share and lean on others.
Your favorite emerging designer (aside from yourself!) right now:
I follow a lot of Scandinavian Design. I love seeing how brands such as Ganni and Dagmar have grown over the years. I am also in a children's brand hole right now so I am discovering children's wear for the 1st time. I am loving Bobo Choses, Nation and Tiny Cottons.
What is your favorite album to work to?
Rhye or Sade. I can't have anything too disruptive or I lose focus.

If you are an artist, a writer or a designer who has ever worked as a contractor and wished you had more time to create experimental "work" thats suits your artistic style, say "I". We are definitely saying "I", we have been there. So when we came across Daydreams & Nightschemes by John Newman, we felt a lot of admiration and we thought we'd share.
Daydreams & Nightschemes is a self-initiated journey of 52 weeks focused on the creation of 52 new projects by Jon Newman.
Jon Newman is a New York based, senior freelance designer with MTV's Off-Air Creative Department, where he's worked for the past three years. Daydreams & Nightschemes is an inspiration to all artists falling victim to the demands of the world. Let's face it, mastering our craft is all good and all, but we gotta eat something and keep the light on, so we take on these jobs (especially starting out). Newman definitely understands what it's like to wear these shoes, he shares a few words about starting out, challenging himself, and improving:
"I realized very quickly that nothing I was producing after I got out of school was really mine. So this year-long project was started not only as an act of passion/love for design but also a challenge that would allow me to create work that was 100% mine. With the help of a time constrain of one week, it freed me from over-thinking the projects too much and would sharpen my sense of art direction/design/illustration. Lastly, I want the work to have a high-end fashion feel to it, since that is the industry I'm most interested in pursuing."
Word to the wise: Here is a tip to all artists who might feel creatively frustrated due to the limitations of the job with the paycheck, have a side project. Having a side project that you are excited to work on, will help you cope with that jaded feeling. Think of it this way, it's your work, your time, your experiments, your gain. No Limitations. It can be as playful as you want it to be.
For more inspiration: discover more of Newman's favorite projects, as well as our's at www.daydreamsandnightschemes.com.
Newman releases a new project every Monday (EST) for one full year, hence "52" projects. For sneak peeks of his sketches, Follow him on twitter at @DD_and_NS and Like DDNS on Facebook.
"Project #1 was shot in Hong Kong and Japan. I wanted to give it a dream like sensibility so I tweaked the colors of each photo differently."
"Project #2 was inspired by type I saw while I was ascending the Duomo of the Vatican in Rome, Italy."
"Project #5 was solely inspired from Jay-Z and Kanye West's latest collaboration, "Watch the Throne." The idea was two halves coming together to create one thing, the album."
"Project #7 was an identity re-design I always wanted to do for my friend's restaurant called "Oishi," my hope is that seeing this project will inspire him to re-evaluate his brand and possibly let me implement the design."
Project #9 Guess who this one was inspired by?
Project #8 Falling Runway models and quotes from fashion designers. We Say Its Perfect.

Who Is Alexander McQueen? How He Died and Quotes
Scroll down to find designer clothing and shoes by Lee Alexander McQueen, a British fashion designer and couturier that won four British Designer of the Year awards.
Best known for his lavish, unconventional runway shows and his in-depth knowledge of bespoke British tailoring, his death was announced on the afternoon of February 11, 2010.
According to David LaChapelle, a friend of the designer, McQueen "was doing a lot of drugs and was very unhappy" at the time of his suicide.
His eponymous British luxury fashion house, Alexander McQueen, which he founded in 1992, is a subsidiary of Kering. Its current creative director is Sarah Burton.
Best Alexander McQueen Quotes
I don't want to be too proud, but I have a good personal style.
For a long time I was looking for my perfect equilibrium, my mojo. And now I think I'm getting there: I've found my customer, my silhouette, my cut.
Of course, I make mistakes. I'm human. If I didn't make mistakes, I'd never learn. You can only go forward by making mistakes.
Fashion should be a form of escapism and not a form of imprisonment.
Give me time and I'll give you a revolution.
There is something sinister, something quite biographical about what I do – but that part is for me. It's my personal business. I think there is a lot of romance, melancholy. There's a sadness to it, but there's romance in sadness. I suppose I am a very melancholy person.
When I'm dead and gone, people will know that the twenty-first century was started by Alexander McQueen.
I've had good times; I've had bad times.
Give me time and I'll give you a revolution.
It's a new era in fashion – there are no rules. It's all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together.
It's good to know where you come from. It makes you what you are today. It's DNA, it's in your blood.
As a designer, you've always got to push yourself forward; you've always got to keep up with the trends or make your own trends. That's what I do.
Some couture collections have everything including the kitchen sink! Everything gets thrown on to make it look expensive. I find it grotesque when clothes hit you in the face and there's no room for fault. But I don't expect to turn things around all by myself. I'm not a saint.
I like the concept of dressing people. I used to not care whether people bought the clothes or not, but I kind of like it now. I wouldn't label that commercialism; it's more like I do this work because I want people to wear it.
Menswear is about subtlety. It's about good style and good taste.
The turnover of fashion is just so quick and so throwaway, and I think that is a big part of the problem. There is no longevity.
Clothes and jewelry should be startling, individual. When you see a woman in my clothes, you want to know more about them. To me, that is what distinguishes good designers from bad designers.
Rap music's been around for too long now to be inspirational. The words are, but the music isn't.
For people who know McQueen, there is always an underlying message. It's usually only the intellectual ones who understand what's going on in what I do.
When a woman gets dressed up to go out at night, she wants to give 50% away, and hold the rest back. If you're an open book, there's no allure.
I never look at other people's work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions.
I was never a big networker, but I was a spin doctor, all those shock shows, that's how I got my first backers. But fashion's a scary industry to be in, especially if you've not grown up with it.
I have been skiing since I was in school, but I'm not great. I am never going to break an Olympic record, I just want to go down the hills, on red or blue runs, but not… black.
I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very modern, very now – no one wears head-to-toe designer anymore.
There are only a handful of designers that influence other designers, and I have to keep one step ahead of the game.

Oldsmobile Dealer Parts vs OEM - What Is Really the Difference Between the Two?
Dealer Parts vs OEM - What Is Really the Difference Between the Two?
Terminology in the auto business is difficult to understand sometimes because of the lingo that is used is not always clear. For example, the term OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer. The term in most industries means that the brand you are buying from is the most likely the brand that is sending you that part or item. it is slightly different in the automobile industry. OEM means that the original equipment manufacturer or the company that the vehicle manufacturer uses when they make the car, truck, or SUV could be the one producing the part for you. The good thing about that is that the vehicle manufacturer or Oldsmobile, in this case, still holds them to the same standards that they would as if they produced the part themselves.The parts that claim to be OEM based have to meet or exceed those standards before GM/Oldsmobile will put their stamp of approval on the part and call it OEM. Yet, you would know that unless you know the automobile industry or have studied the word OEM in the industry and its meaning. If you want a simple explanation then dealer parts are the same as OEM parts. They both carry the same quality and are the same Oldsmobile dealer parts that would have been in the car, truck, or SUV when and if you bought the vehicle fresh off the line.
Aftermarket vs Dealer Parts
Aftermarket parts are parts that want to be dealer parts. However, they do not have an association with the company who makes the vehicle, GM/Oldsmobile, other than they make a part for the vehicle. The standards are not enforced on them and they may make a part that is equal to OEM parts but it might be worse as well. You could be potentially placing your life in the hands of a company who could be cutting corners or they may not be cutting corners it depends on the company and the part you are replacing. We love imitation items when it comes to fashion or video game controllers because they do not matter as much as when we talk about our modes of transportation. Cutting corners with aftermarket parts might work out for you or it might not it is very hard to tell which one it is going to be until you do it, however, the consequences of the choice could make it very dangerous for you and your family. Remember you could have good experiences but you could also have bad experiences. It if up to you if you want to try that route to get your parts.
If you want to pass down this vehicle to younger generations or if you want to keep it as long as possible then you need to use parts that you know are going to work and will not damage your vehicle when they are used. The maintaining of value in this vehicle will also help you if you ever decide to trade it in because more value means more trade in value. It is in your best interest to get genuine GM Oldsmobile dealer parts for your vehicle.
Get your genuine OEM GM Oldsmobile dealer parts by clicking the year, make, and model of your vehicle below. If you need touch-up paint then click here and follow the directions. You only need to know the year, make, and model of your vehicle to find out what paint you need.

Krejza doesnt want to let go his chance in Test cricketNovember 11th, 2008 - 4:50 pm ICT by ANI
Sydney, Nov 11 (ANI): Australias new found spin-sensation Jason Kreja has said that after taking 12 crucial wickets in his debut Nagpur Test against India, he didnt want to let the chance to play a long innings in Test cricket go away easily.
He said that the dozen wickets came as a surprise for him, and that he was an improvised bowler after the India series. He said now he was looking forward to the next Test series against New Zealand.
Now I"m looking forward, hopefully to the next Test series and to new things in front of me. Once you get a chance in Test cricket you don"t want to let it go. It''s pretty unbelievable really. I haven"t realised the exact extent of what I"ve done yet I don"t think. It probably won"t be until I go home and look at it on paper and have a really good think about it so it''s still trying to sink in., foxsports.com quoted him as saying.
Krejza''s performance in Nagpur surprised everyone - with good reason. With a first-class bowling average of 50 and a place at the fringes of Tasmania''s team seemed flimsy reason to choose him for the tour, yet he finished up outperforming every member of the Australian attack except Mitchell Johnson (13 wickets) in the space of one Test, added the report.
He said he learnt a lost from former Indian spinner Bishen Singh Bedi. The chat with Bishen Bedi gave me a lot of information and I"m definitely a much better bowler than I was when I got here. I was getting used to these wickets for one, getting a real good bowl out in the nets and working with Ricky and all the guys in our team with how to bowl, Krejza said.
Krejza seems sure to get the chance to maintain his astonishing progress against New Zealand, at least in the second Test at spin-friendly Adelaide Oval.
On a Bellerive Oval wicket that offers seam and swing, the Tasmanians have chosen four seamers plus allrounders Luke Butterworth and Daniel Marsh in Krejza''s absence. (ANI)
