Crossing over, but distinct from the communications segment, is the satellite segment. Satellites are often used for commercial communications, but can also relate non-commercial purposes such as military use or scientific research. Global revenue from satellites totaled 269 billion U.S. dollars in 2017, with 91 new satellites launched in that year. In recent times, the number of satellite launches has declined from the industry's peak between the mid-1960s and late 1970's, when an average of 128 satellites were launched per year. In 2017, there were 1,900 satellites in orbit, of which 859 belong to the United States.
Another third way to divide the space industry for analysis is by contrasting private and government spending. In 2016, government spending comprised around 25 percent of the total global space economy, amounting to some 84 billion U.S. dollars. The United States government is the largest contributor, with NASA's budget being over 19 billion dollars in that year. Other major government players are the European Space Agency and China, however their combined spending in 2017 was only 10.7 billion dollars – just over half of NASA's spending for the same period. Of NASA's budget, around half is spent on space exploration, with the remainder being spent on a variety of scientific, educational, engineering and administrative functions. However, public opinion is that NASA should focus more on research, technological development and threat prevention than space exploration. In a 2018 survey, only 18 percent of U.S. adults believe that sending astronauts to Mars should be a top priority.

...More Newfoundlands Information!
The appearance generally should indicate a dog of great strength, and very active for his build and size, moving freely with the body swung loosely between the legs, which gives a slight roll in gait. This has been compared to a sailor's roll, and is typical of the breed.
As regards size, the Newfoundland Club standard gives 140 lbs. to 120 lbs. weight for a dog, and 110 lbs. to 120 lbs. for a bitch, with an average height at the shoulder of 27 inches and 25 inches respectively; but it is doubtful whether dogs in proper condition do conform to both requirements. At any rate, the writer is unable to trace any prominent Newfoundlands which do, and it would be safe to assume that for dogs of the weights specified, the height should be quite 29 inches for dogs, and 27 inches for bitches. A dog weighing 150 lbs. and measuring 29 inches in height at the shoulder would necessarily be long in body to be in proportion, and would probably much nearer approach the ideal form of a Newfoundland than a taller dog.
In that respect Newfoundlands have very much improved during the past quarter of a century. Twenty-five years ago, the most noted dogs were stated as a rule to be well over 30 inches in height, but their weight for height would indicate legginess, which is an abomination in a Newfoundland. A 29-inch Newfoundland is quite tall enough, and even that height should not be gained at the expense of type and symmetry.
The white and black variety are, as a rule, slightly taller, smaller in loin and longer in head, but these differences in the two varieties are being rapidly removed, and at no distant date the white and black variety will probably be as correct in type and symmetry as the black variety now is.
For very many years the black variety has been the better in type; and in breeding, if blacks are desired, it will be safer as a general rule to insist upon the absence of white and black blood in any of the immediate ancestors of the sire and dam. But if, on the contrary, white and black dogs are required, the proper course is to make judicious crosses between the black and white, and black varieties, and destroy any black puppies, unless they are required for further crosses with white and black blood. In any case the first cross is likely to produce both black and mis-marked white and black puppies; but the latter, if bred back to the white and black blood, would generally produce well-marked white and black Newfoundlands.

Dudley Zoo and Castle
Having grown up in The Black Country, I am a little ashamed to say that despite it being about 5 miles away from where I lived, I had never visited Dudley Zoo. However, last weekend when we suddenly found ourselves with a free day we decided to remedy this.
The zoo is based in the grounds of the Dudley Castle and you can see the ruined remains of the castle at the top of the hill as you drive towards the zoo. Dudley Zoo has been open since 1937 and for me it is very different sort of zoo compared to some of the others I have visited. Aside from a large collection of animals – some of which I have never seen in real life before – the location within an ancient woodland and castle ruins adds to its uniqueness. There is also the vintage chairlift running from the zoo's entrance up to the castle. The zoo's architecture is very different – the Modernists who designed the zoo created a new design of building called tectons. These buildings made from reinforced concrete are still located around the zoo and add to the zoo's character. I loved the way that with some of the buildings it looks like nature is trying to claim these structures back for itself.
Of course, this makes the exhibits about both the animals and the tectons, such as this example in the lion enclosure.
And due to the castle as a backdrop to the zoo you get to see sea lions swimming in the castle moat….
Almost every animal-centered attraction seems to have meerkats nowadays, but few of these will have an 11th century castle as a backdrop.
When we arrived at the zoo it was a beautiful sunny morning – always a joy in September. The monkeys were obviously enjoying the weather too.
My favourite animals in the zoo were the big cats. It was an absolute privilege to be able to see a snow leopard – even if it was curled up asleep and not in great position to be able to get a photo. It is so sad that these beautiful animals are endangered and it gave me a good opportunity to talk to Freyja about endangered animals. The snow leopard didn't want a photo taken, but this lynx was quite happy sunning itself in full view.
I was blown away by the tigers. The pair were fast asleep in their enclosure right next to the viewing windows. They were so beautiful. I am not sure I would have felt so comfortable being that close to them if they were awake!
We had our picnic next to the Barbary Sheep who had just been fed themselves. Freyja thought that they looked like the Billy Goats Gruff. We decided that we wouldn't want to be too close to those massive horns!
Just after we had eaten our lunch we managed to see the otter finishing off his. It was wonderful watching it dive into the water to grab the fish that had been scattered throughout its enclosure.
A lot of zoos and wildlife parks seem to be having lemur walk-through exhibits and Dudley is no exception. I loved the way this black and white ruffed lemur positioned itself in order to make it easier to identify what species he was.
Dudley also has a wallaby walk-through exhibit.
One of Freyja's favourite kinds of animal is the penguin. They have a large enclosure with a walkway going over their "beach" which reminded me a lot of seeing this species in the wild in South Africa. Here though they have ancient woods as part of their habitat.
Dudley has a large collection of primates including chimpanzees, macaques and capuchins. The tiny pygmy marmosets are incredibly cute and we watched them having lots of fun running around their enclosure and scurrying up their climbing posts.
Freyja and I particularly loved seeing the Bornean orangutans. We spent ages watching a younger one with its mum. The mother seemed to be wanting to just have a lie down and a rest but the youngster was climbing all over her. It reminded me very much of when Freyja comes into bed for a cuddle with me.
Access to Dudley Castle is included in the entrance fee to the zoo. You can climb up the top of the keep from where you get some great views of the Black Country and Birmingham.
Dudley has lots of play areas dotted around the site as well as a small fun fair near the zoo entrance. The girls enjoyed playing on the one close to the lemurs and lions, particularly in the safari cars.
There is no better way to complete a lovely day out than with an ice cream. It was so sweet to witness a moment of sisterly love between the two girls – Emily sharing some of her ice cream with Freyja. I should add that Freyja had had an ice cream of her own!
All-in-all, Dudley Zoo was a great day out and whilst it is a shame that it has taken me so long to visit, I am glad that I have been able to introduce it to the girls and I am sure it is somewhere that we will visit again.

Short Sleeve Zip Up Shirt
1017 Alyx 9SM
Short sleeve zipper closure shirt.
- Tonal elastic banding mandarin collar.
- Zipper closure at front.
- Silver tone hardware.
- Tonal elastic banding cuff.
- Tonal stitching.
- 97% cotton 3% elastane.
- Made in Italy.
1017 Alyx 9SM's second full menswear collection reveals Matthew Williams full capabilities as a designer. Titled "Naomi Ave", after Williams' childhood street in Los Angeles, the collection is a subtle nod to the disparities between live in California versus life in Italy. Military inspired cut and sew pieces are complimented with light hearted, logo driven graphics that solidify 1017 Alyx 9SM as a multifaceted brand. This season is also the first time Williams has collaborated with storied English brand Mackintosh, resulting in a custom rain trench that is perfect for rainy, windy days.
Designer Matthew Williams bases his fashion label Alyx out of New York, but his Los Angeles roots are a clear influence, with nods to skate, punk, and hip-hop culture infused into each piece. Originally just a women's brand, Williams branched out into menswear this year with a much-anticipated collaboration with Fragment designer Hiroshi Fujiwara, followed by a menswear collection of their own. Although the brand is relatively new (debuting in Fall '15), Williams has already garnered an enthusiastic fan following in addition to critical industry praise (having been shortlisted for the LVMH Prize in 2016).View Collection

On our way from Paris to Barcelona, we spent the Fourth of July on the beautiful beach in Montpellier. Montpellier is a small town in the south of France that sits on the Mediterranean Sea. Similar to Bruges, we were there for a short period of time, so we didn't get a chance to experience what the town has to offer (mainly architecture, art, and lots of wine).
During our very short stay, we had a picnic, drank some booze, and just relaxed. It was The perfect way for a group of 30 20-something proud Americans to spend our country's day of independence abroad. It was also a great time to reflect on our journey and how living in the US will never be the same.
Based on the vibe and what I've read about Montpellier and the South of France (Bordeaux, Marseille, Toulouse, Valence, etc.), I definitely would love to go back during wine festival season. The South of France is a great place for anyone to visit with a significant other if you're looking for something a little outside the norm. Santé!

Florida's legislature just passed a budget that will privatize the correctional services of 18 counties, basically 20% of its prison population. Though the decision has been criticized by both side of the aisle (the quote I used for the title comes from a Republican legislator, Mike Fasano), and despite the fact that private prisons in Florida, as elsewhere, have a long history of abuse and failure to perform up to contract, the deal went through. Senator Fasano described the claims of cost-savings touted by proponents, including budget chief JD Alexander, as "unconvincing and undocumented." In fact, Alexander at one point even said he himself was not convinced of the savings, but wanted to privatize a huge portion of the state system as part of an "experiment."
This is unrestrained Republican ideology in its most logical iteration. Governor Ric Scott and many Republicans in the state legislature, especially JD Alexander, received huge contributions from the GEO Group in campaign contributions. The GEO Group has also spent hundreds of thousands of dollars lobbying the Florida legislature in recent years, building a great relationship with conservative legislators. This is nothing but a ploy to divert taxpayer money to corporations. Republicans promote corporate welfare while eschewing individual and social welfare. They label the poor as "lazy" and bitch about their tax dollars going to social welfare programs, while they turn around and give huge tax cuts to the wealthy and subsidies and contracts to private corporations with histories of abuse and negligence, corporations that donate generously to their campaigns and help keep them in office. This is what they do.
The GEO Group utilized 2 of the top 5, and 3 of the top 10 lobbying firms in Florida during the past election cycle to maximize their influence. They have also donated hundreds of thousands to state campaigns, mostly to conservatives and incumbents. So it should come as no surprise that the state has decided to embark on the most ambitious prison privatization scheme in history.
This is conservative economics. This is the face of a country that allows for unlimited corporate contributions to politicians and campaigns. Republicans literally want to dismantle government and turn over government services to the private sector. They want to perpetuate the grossly unequal distribution of wealth and power in this country, because it serves their purposes and interests at the expense of everyone else's. And I fear this is only the beginning of what will be a huge wave of anti-government, pro-privatization activity that we're seeing crop up across the country. But people need to realize that government is not the problem. The government is a tool we can use to fix the problems inflicted on society by corporations and their endless greed.
I hate anyone who makes a profit by incarcerating human beings.

Passion for homeschooling remains growing. Really, a lot more families have thought about testing out this apparently novel approach to teaching and educating children. Homeschooling provides benefits for families along with the homeschool students. Some might be unfamiliar with the idea but it's not so brand-new.
The process of attempting to coach children within your house possesses its own roots in individuals days when schools were limited in number, with students far outnumbering the capability of colleges, if whatsoever available in your town. It might have been difficult to believe, but there's been occasions long ago when that numerous nations were incompetent at acquiring the youthful population educated. It absolutely was a whole necessity for moms and fathers to get their children home trained.
In people days, sometime including the 18th and 19th centuries, homeschooling was the main educational pressure which has assisted advance every child's learning until he was elevated in to a grownup. Throughout people occasions, the kids education was restricted to the amount their parents can train them.
This is why with the 1800s, while using progress happening all over the world, it's been recognized the us government should need to take lower to delivering education because of its growing population. This introduced to the federal government building a lot more schools to assist more students. Then compulsory education was produced be capable of make more students visit the new schools to acquire their education. This development introduced home education to progressively disappear. But relax a little.
At this time, homeschooling features a little of revival in the benefit of delivering more personalized education to children. A lot more parents have become thinking about the thought of getting additional control of the items their kids learn. A lot more parents have to be more active in their children's education. And to begin with, a lot more parents desire a larger investment time to bond utilizing their kids and homeschooling have enough money them to achieve this.
If you're also thinking about understanding homeschooling, there many articles to suit your needs online that will educate you a little more about how such a procedure for teaching may benefit your boy or daughter and you also. The data would also manage to gives you the various homeschooling techniques available you are able to have a look at. Homeschooling can be a alternative you can determine that you simply are searching for other available options in educating the youthful. The advantages along with the system being then home education could just be the process tailor-produced for the conditions.

Wajir is a Borana word that means coming together, bequeathed to this part of the country because of the different clans and pastoral communities that used to congregate in areas around Wajir town to water their animals from the abundant and dependable shallow wells that characterize the general land geomorphology. Wajir County is located in North Eastern part of Kenya. The county covers an area of 56,685.8 sq Km with Wajir Town being it's administrative headquarters. It has a mean annual temperature of 28 °C with rainfall amounts ranging between 250mm and 700mm per annum in different parts of the county. Wajir county borders Mandera to the North and North East, Garissa to the South and South West, Isiolo and Marsabit to the West, and the Republics of Ethiopia to the North West and of Somalia to the East. Wajir county has only one local authority; Wajir county council. The county has four constituencies namely Wajir North, Wajir West, Wajir East and Wajir South.
Demographic Information
The county has a population of 661,941 and an area of 55,840.6 km².
Economic Activities
The main economic activity in Wajir County is pastoralism with some agro-pastrolism being practised in the Northern part of the county. The large tracts of land in the county provide the grazing pastures for the large camel and cattle herds present in the county. Rain-fed agriculture is practiced on a small scale basis in the higher altitude regions. Groundwater harvesting from numerous wells, earth pans, dams and boreholes is also undertaken due to the high water table. Despite having mineral resources such as limestone and sand, Wajir county has also high potential for solar and wind energy .

In special reports, this week's files cover: Is ET Colonizing Earth?
Wright-Patterson UFO Stories are True, Fukushima Radioactive Ocean Water is now Arriving, Holland Three Crop Circles, and Alien Seen in Canada.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Alabama, California, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Maine, New Jersey, New Mexico, and Texas.
Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Germany, Greece, India, Ireland, Peru, Spain, Switzerland, England in the United Kingdom and Venezuela.
Is ET Colonizing Earth?
Earth is one of the finest planets in this part of the universe. Humans are fighting, killing each other, and destroying our environment. Even so the Earth's population is increasing at an alarming rate that the available food resources cannot support for long.
Radiation from Fukushima may destroy the Pacific Ocean as a source of safe food for millions. Many look to an outside source such as President Presidents, God or even Extraterrestrials (ET) to save them. Even now thousands of children are being bused from Central American Nations to cross into US for promises of free food, free medical care, and finances to start businesses and the hopes of a better life. It is logical to assume these benefits may appeal to many throughout the world and even to those on other planets.
Older planets may have stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel and cooling and dying. ET may also have a population explosion or simply a desire to colonize. Our skies are often filled with alien craft from other planets or from other dimensions. These ET apparently have learned that a gradual invasion is the most effective method of colonizing a planet. Even a large space ship could only carry several thousand ETs. There is indication they have infiltrated the seats of power for centuries and have gained influence over the Earth's population.
Structures on our moon, Mars, and other planets indicate an advanced civilization has apparently colonized much of our galaxy. ET may have discovered it is easier to colonize by slow infiltration rather than a grand invasion. Humans are likely to fight any group they feel are trying to take over Earth. In 3000 BCE the first dynasties appeared in Egypt and the rulers of these dynasties were equated with the gods and with the duties and obligations due those gods. As supreme ruler of the people, the pharaoh was considered a god on earth, the intermediary between the gods and the people.
Many of the great leaders of the past had exceptionally elongated skulls and wore helmets or crowns different from a normal human. Consider history of the Pharaohs, Emperors, and Divine Right of Kings, who ruled with absolute power over the lives of the people. The doctrine is that they derive their right to rule directly from God and are not accountable to their subjects. Most leaders of the past for thousands of years claimed this relation to the gods but often had access to advanced technology.
Pharaohs, ...ET may choose to gradually infiltrate society rather than conducting an open invasion that may scare or enrage the populace. Humans tend to fight any invasion, but seem to accept slow immigration.
Very few people in virtually every country on Earth have any real power. ET may offer key leaders promises of great wealth, long life, and leadership positions once the world is taken over. Leaders could be convinced that ET could help in a smooth transition to a new World Order and a better place. Indeed, ET contacts and abductees have been constantly told the world will be much better with them in control. Serious economic and environmental problems exist on Earth that appears to be arranged, or caused by greed, rather than by accident. As world deteriorates the more likely the populace would accept ET colonialism. People will likely choose to live in a new high tech world that is without war and is much safer for the average person.
There is evidence we are already being colonized. ET has abducted thousands and apparently raised hybrids that are now entering our world. The hybrids are part alien and part human, but do not seem very much different than any immigrant we see shopping. We hope they are an asset to Earth, but the may be detrimental. This subversive infiltration will likely prevent open warfare against their take over. They may come to mine for minerals, feed their people and develop place greater importance in exploration, mining and learning. Comparatively small numbers of ETs would not like to engage in an extended conflict with Earth's battle tested humans.
We may be useful for raising crops and building structures. Edgar Mitchell indicated the Dead Sea Scrolls explain want is happening. I suggested the Scroll of the War between the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness explain what has been happening for thousands of years. Edgar Mitchell Quote [at 15:00 mark] "some of the strongest evidence is that our missile silos ... were routinely visited by alien spacecraft and the missiles disarmed." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dRClHxyGVY.
The Shrine of the Book, a wing of the Israel Museum iThe Shrine of the Book, a wing of the Israel Museum in shape of a UFO houses the Dead Sea Scrolls. The scroll reveals that in the end times all of Darkness is to be destroyed and Light will live in peace for all eternity.
It seems possible that some ETs are selfish colonists or have evil intent and dwell on the dark side. These evil ones appear to have capabilities far beyond our understanding or technology. Thus far they have not chosen to destroy us, but there are indications they find particularly human females attractive and are trying to create half human and half ET hybrids.
Dr. Lier removed rice sized implants from a dozen people indicating tracking and communicating devices have been inserted into some humans by ET. Crematoriums have noticed small rice sized remains among the ashes of the deceased. The nanotechnology devices may also control people to vote or accomplish tasks helpful to ET. Abductees often claim ET is worried about the environment. The implants have Carbon nanotubes within that have outstanding properties for electrical and thermal conductivity and nanoelectronic components with high strength and acceptance by the body.
The Light side appears concerned and genuinely tries to help humans. For example they may bring advanced technology with great benefits to humans. And some ETs may have Earth's human interests in mind, with love and compassion. It may be one heck of a complicated game going on since humanity began.
Perhaps the Bible is right when it states, "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away." Revelation 21:4 (KJ21)
Wright-Patterson UFO Stories are True
Dayton -- Roger Marsh reports on July 24, 2014, Tales of crashed UFO parts and alien bodies have been told about Wright-Patterson Air Force Base since the 1947.
The witness was told in 1960 that the stories of crashed UFO parts from Roswell were true. Air Force National Museum Wilbur Wright Field Wikimedia
The report was filed by the grandchild of the woman who received the information firsthand in about 1960. "A close high ranking friend retired from Wright Patterson Air Force Base," stated. ". My grandmother, who was the wittiest, honest and candid person I've ever met, asked him if it were true about the alien craft and possibly the alien bodies being stored at the base." "He said, 'If the public knew what was at the base from the Roswell incident, there would be a general panic amongst the public.'" Thanks to MUFON CMSF
Fukushima Radioactive Ocean Water is now arriving on the West Coast
I was on the Jeff Rense Radio Program last night who told me, "Radioactive materials detected off California, levels spike to 400% normal — Fisherman have discovered an 'island' of tsunami debris- Never seen so much garbage in ocean before/ Fukushima nuclear pollutants in the North Pacific are moving eastward and are carried by the Kuroshio and Kuroshio-extension currents and now have reached the California Coast.
The radiation plume from Fukushima is now smashing the entire Sea life for decades to come. This is hard science and every rain coming out of the North Pacific is carrying varying amounts of radiation in the rainwater. This calamity is unprecedented. Thanks to Jeff Rense. http://www.rense.com
Holland Three Crop Circles
Nancy Talbot writes, "On Saturday night, July 12th, Robbert and I were on Skype and Robbert said he felt that three formations were coming all in one night in different villages—one in corn (maize) and two in "grain." He told me he "saw" (in his mind's eye) that one would come in Roosendaal, one in Etten Leur and the other near Zevenbergen in the next few days, and he also "saw" that when their locations were plotted on a Google map they would make a "perfect" triangle".
Location: Etten Leur, Holland
Crop: Maize (corn)
Found by: Robbert van den Broeke (http://www.robbertvandenbroeke.nl/home)
Photos: Roy Boschman
Around midnight on July 15-16, Roy happened to be with Robbert when Robbert's familiar "restlessness" forced him to ask his friend to once again drive him out to find what he was certain would be the three new formations. As they prepared to leave the house Robbert had a clear "vision" of a circle in a corn (maize) field near Etten Leur, and got the street name of "Ettense baan." As they neared this area Robbert suddenly knew they musts turn left onto a narrow sandy road; when they turned both men started to feel very dizzy and Roy noticed that his mobile phone began acting "weird." Robbert felt a "UFO was directly over Roy's car," almost immediately after which they found a maize field.
As they parked the car Robbert became aware of a "massive" presence of what he felt was a "master-society race" and got the impression that these were the "Yahyels" (an "intergalactic" group of beings he has felt were involved with previous circles in his area)—and felt an additional presence he describes as being "loving and divine guardian angels." As the men began walking through the 2.5m-tall corn they both became so dizzy they thought they might lose consciousness.
Because the maize circle was deep inside the field and the stalks were high above both men's heads Robbert says he was guided as if he "were a robot…go here…turn here…stop here," and they did eventually find the new circle, with all of the corn stalks gently bent over and swirled around, with none broken.
Since he had never been to this field before he began to feel real anxiety as he and Roy stood for awhile on the edge of the circle—fearing that the farmer might come and be angry with them. Robbert also experienced an "electric-like energy" so intensely that his whole body began to shake—and "knew" he was being "once again told" to stay calm…that everything was OK. While still in the maize field Robbert got another "vision" and knew they had to now drive to Roosendaal. For more photos of this Etten Leur circle (#12 Dutch circles of 2014), see Robbert's website, "graancirkelarchief": http://www.robbertvandenbroeke.nl/graancirkelarchief
Here's the 2nd Dutch cc the night of July 16th: Nancy Talbott
The 2nd of the three new formations discovered the night of July 16th was in Roosendaal, not too far from where Roy & Robbert found the one in Rapeseed/Canola on March l7th, 2014.
As the men were leaving the maize circle at Etten-Leur Robbert again had a "vision" (he apparently literally sees, in his mind's eye, not only what the new circle will look like, but the area—and often the exact field—where it will be), this time of a ring with 3 circles placed around it.
Once in the right area the men found a field of ripe barley and almost immediately found this 2nd formation, which indeed was made up of a ring with three circles placed around it—just as Robbert had "seen" in Etten Leur. Robbert also clearly saw an "aura" hanging over this circle as they approached it and felt a "welcome" sort of energy and an intense tingling on his arms, as if he had entered an electrostatic field of some sort, and got the impression that this formation was a "preparation" for something bigger.
He also "saw" an area near Roosendaal where there was a "rotating energy" over this grain field. He told Roy he felt that this circle had just formed only minutes before. As they approached this formation both men became very dizzy again; his phone was also again acting strangely, When they then came to a grain field Robbert saw an "energy UFO" in this case one of a "classic" UFO shape sitting directly over this field, and then told Roy to stop. This circle has an incredible feature—the very thin inner ring is only 10 cm. wide--so thin that no adult human foot could possibly have created it.
They could both feel the intense energy which Robbert described as being both "strong" and "gentle," and he felt he must go and stand in the center (being very careful not to squash the center standing tuft) for a few minutes. His sense was that he was supposed to function as an "acupuncture point" in this circle also. When they returned home just before 3 am Roy did plot the location of the three new formations on a Google map, and it does look as if the connecting lines form an isosceles triangle…just as Robbert had "seen" they would. Thanks to Nancy Talbot, see: http://www.bltresearch.com/robbert.php.
Alien Seen in Canada
St-Zenon, Quebec – Albert Rosales writes, "Two people reported seeing a reddish disc shaped object above their garage On January 14, 2014, at 5:30 PM. They were standing in their backyard ten days later and one witness encountered a strange humanoid creature in his garage. Incredibly the tall figure pushed the control button to the garage door and ran into the nearby wooded area taking long running strides and apparently floated above the snow." The humanoid appeared to be wearing some kind of a mask and tight fitting clothes. Several other anomalies have been reported.

Sightings in the United States
Alabama Disc
Albertville -- I was at a friend's house when she noticed a light in the sky on July 27, 2014. When I looked at the light it was bigger than a star and was emanating white, red, amber, and green lights. The white, green, and red lights were bright and the Amber light was dim. At first, I thought it was a helicopter hovering and using a spot light but did not hear anything. I have worked on helicopters and know the sounds they make and from the distance the object was I should have heard the engines and blades. After realizing it wasn't a helicopter I started to record the object. I recorded the object for 4 minutes 31 seconds. I was distracted by my friend and when I looked back it was gone. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Wings
Discovery Bay – Two objects appeared in a picture I was taking of a blue star on June 24, 2014. While reviewing the picture I noticed these two objects. I cropped the picture in order to get a better look. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Colorado Flying Object
Gunnison – I was bow hunting at 1,800 feet elevation in very remote country with an approaching storm and lightning when I noticed the object on September 1, 2013. This strange object hovered and changed directions while emanating some kind of plume under it. Through binoculars it appeared to be a disc shape, and tried to stay in the cloud formation. The object was very large in size and hovered within and around the cloud formation. After a few minutes it left a plume trail and caused the cloud area it passed through to have a trailing effect. It was over a mile away and was a very weird and strange UFO, but I will never know. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Connecticut Lights
New Haven -- I was outside talking with a friend when we noticed two small pulsating orbs with organic characteristics in the sky on July 26, 2014. Upon further inspection, these two were followed by a grouping of three more orbs, then four more, with an estimated 4-8 more of varying groupings following behind the original 'convoy'. The silent orbs were flying over a regional airport from the Long Island Sound, flying northeast, then finally up out of the atmosphere. They showed an organic quality much like a distant flame. The shapes were spherical having a very organic flame-like nature. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Light
Jacksonville – I saw three small star-like moving lights in the sky and observed them from my kitchen window from about 5:45 to 6:15 am. I went outside expecting to see a bright ufo object, because I have seen it before. The unusual thing is that I played a game with the ufo. I positioned my line of sight so that a tree was near. I stared at the Ufo for about 10 seconds and then I blocked my view ufo with the tree. The ufo moved into my field of vision, and then moved up, left and right. It is crazy to think that the ufo was observing me but that is my only conclusion. I call this game "peek a boo" and I have played it hundreds of times with various moving light sources. The most interesting light is the bright light that follows me from 11 pm to 2 am. Skip Thanks to MUFON CMS
Idaho Ripper
Filer – I was up early sitting on my porch on July 27,2014, when an amazingly fast satellite moved south across the Pleiades at 4:50 AM with low brightness. The sun was just below the Eastern Horizon and the dull surface filtered out most of the reflections. The orbit was lower than most and the speed far greater than the original plodding space shots. I dubbed this one "Jack the Ripper." Could this be a special droppable hardware package info gathering space shot? It could be taking pictures across the world? Thanks to MUFON CMS
Maine Disc
Limestone – I was a student at Loring Job Corps Center during the event I eye-witnessed in July 17, 1998. I vividly remember it was about 9:30 PM, when I saw three objects with blinking lights hovering on top of the pine trees. Two of the three objects ascended and disappeared, while one approached and descended lower hovering no more than 10 feet over me. I felt scared and confused because I have never seen a UFO this close. It was shaped like an oval silent black craft with multicolored lights around and underneath the craft. There was a colored sphere underneath its center. I was just amazed that this kind of technology exists. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Minnesota Donut
St. Paul -- I was looking up into the sky, and saw what at first I thought was a plane. I went inside and grabbed my Nikon D3100 with a 55-200 MM zoom lens to get a better look. It was silent moving at cruising speed and high up with decent size. It was moving fast in a straight line and was not a drifting like a balloon. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Disc
Union -- On July 18, 2014, in morning I climbed to top of a 6th floor building under construction in my area to capture photos. When I zoomed to check the camera quality, I noticed an object in the picture was very high. I was prepping for a golf tournament (NJ, USA), so I recorded my swing. I saw something zip by. Then, I slowed and zoomed the images only to discover that the UFO was heading south to north at supersonic speed and then made a 45* turn heading east. I am a firm believer in ET Intelligence and as soon as I saw the footage I knew exactly what it was. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Mexico 'V' Formation
Las Cruces -- On Saturday night my husband, nephew and I were on our deck stargazing when my husband noticed a flurry of dim objects that turned into a V formation. They were moving beyond the parameters of any known human aerial craft. We also spotted a very large, dimly lit formation flying very high and very fast without any sound. The V formation flew towards El Paso. It only took a few seconds for it to fly over our heads. My husband is the only witness to the flurry of the objects before they formed up into for an 8-12 light V, but we all clearly witnessed the flying V. The lights were faint but visible, if I had to guess how many made up the V I would say between total. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Lights
Houston-- I was star gazing and noticed this strange ufo as it hovered with a mostly blinking white/blue light on July 26, 2014. There were a total of three, and two sped off very quickly. I then noticed two red/orange dots leave the one that hovered. The two orange ufos flew erratically away. I watched the primary ufo ascend out of atmosphere, in a straight path and with a slight white trail. As it left atmosphere it turned blue. I also witnessed exact same thing following night. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Saucer and Lights
Lake Haven, New South Wales -- When driving north on Pacific Highway just past Lake Haven roundabout at 12:20 PM, we saw a shiny silver upside down saucer hovering in the sky on July 6th 2014. I was analyzing that it had no flashing lights, not a kite nor an Aeroplane, or weather balloon. We kept an eye on it for about ten minutes until we had to move on.
Castle Hill, New South Wales -- I was laying in my bed looking out my window at 2:35 am, on July 7th 2014, when I saw a round bright object in the sky. It flared up to an extremely bright light and in a single second it disappeared. The light hurt my eyes as it felt like looking into the sun except a lot brighter.
Brogo, New South Wales -- I was standing on the back lawn in our rural property when I suddenly noticed in the western sky a bright comet like object moving from south to north on July 10th 2014 at 9:41 AM. I called out and three other people rushed out and saw the intense fireball with a bright long tail almost like a massive skyrocket. It was visible for at least 12 seconds before disappearing to the north. The tail was as long as your fist. It had amazing brightness and intense colours as it slowly traveled through the sky.
Deniliquin, New South Wales – On July 10th 2014, at 9:50 PM, it could be space debris entering the atmosphere, but I have never seen such a vivid colorful entry before. The tail was long, constantly changing colours around the main body if the object. It was very slow moving and my neighbor's house limited my view after about a minute and a half. It was truly beautiful but eerie.
Meandarra, Queensland -- Six witnesses report a slight red burning flame that ended up stretching 2 km in the sky on July 10th 2014, at 9:30 PM.
Narara, New South Wales -- Driving home Dad in car said, "What's that thing?" We kept looking at the light thinking it may have been the moon, but noticed object was moving and very low to ground on July 10th 2014, at 9:35 PM. It was like a helicopter with its spot lights on, but much bigger and brighter and then it suddenly disappeared. Thanks to John Hayes www.UFOinfo.com
Brazil Light
Abadiania – GO -- This picture was taken at the rear of the Hotel San Raphael and we were outside having a general discussion about the day's events. As a semi-retired member of the national media, I always carry a camera. I noticed something up in the sky, shot the UFO and then it quickly disappeared. This picture is one of many UFO pictures that were taken in the two weeks while in Abadiania, Brazil. The other pictures I have are flying saucers. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Sightings
Regina Saskatchewan -- I was working outside and noticed a red-copper object in noon sky on November 20, 2013. I focused on the object that had lights and a surface that reflected light off as metal does. It was also black at times and hovered for a while and then flew slowly away. It was directly over the airport where nothing can fly without clearance. My company is building condos beside our cities airport and it is closed airspace. "Why would it be and who allowed it to fly directly over the airport with a chance of an accident?" It took about three hours to fly over my head and saw it looked like a metal upside down bell. It had a constant bright light on it and I snapped 7 clear pictures, but the object would not show up on the video. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org Note: Object had an 8 or infinity sign on its side.
Echo Lake, Saskatchewan -- On July 5th 2014 at11:30 AM, while camping at Lakeview Campground, four of us saw a dull orange ball moving east quite fast over Pasqua Lake then Echo Lake. It was 500 feet above our location atop the hill overlooking the lake. The light flew straight and did not change speed. It took about 40 seconds before it disappeared. It was silent and the size of a basketball about 100 feet away. Thanks to John Hayes www.UFOinfo.com
Scarborough, Ontario -- On July 4th 2014, I took a break at work and went outside with my new camera in hand. I got a bite very high in the sky. I could see a white object moving very slowly and tried to photograph on zoom but had difficulty capturing it. The camera would not focus on the target so. So at 3:07 PM, I began to photograph with a slight zoom to capture the image. I alerted a co worker who could also see it! The eleventh co worker I've pointed these objects out to. As I photographed the object went into cloud cover. Thanks to Paul Shishis, Photos at www.ufoinfo.com/sightings/canada/140704b.shtml
Burlington, Ontario – Four witnesses saw four orange circle shaped objects with a balloon shaped dome above travelling at a great rate of speed to the southeast on July 5th 2014 at 11:45 AM. The silent objects flew at about 15,000 feet high, followed by another identical object 20 minutes later.
Hornepayne, Ontario -- My brother and my grandson and I went out fishing and were taking photos and did not see anything. It was not till we flew back to my brother's camp on July 23, 2014, and uploaded the pictures from my camera that I noticed the object in the photo. It is the only picture that I have and maybe it can be explained. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Chile Ball
Calama II Region -- Observation area moves from south to north on Calama to Chuquicamata trajectory with constant speed. It was like a tennis ball, white and red phenomenon observed at 22:00 hours duration of phenomenon ten minutes, without noise. Three persons observed by passes near an aircraft. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Germany Lights
My girlfriend and I were exiting the autobahn around 12 am, when we noticed a sequence of flashing lights. They were bright blue, white, and orange lights off in the distance on the ground and one in the sky as if they were communicating. As we drove closer we noticed in front of our eyes a UFO hovering in one spot not touching the ground, but just right on top of it. When we saw this thing up close we speeded off so not all the pictures are great. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Greece Disc
Island of Poros -- A UFO was photographed by UFO researcher Harris Koutsiaftis on the southwest side of the city on July 22, 2014, at 8:45 PM. Two objects were flying at high altitude shining probably from the reflection of the sun. They were visible for 35 seconds with the unknown object moving parallel to the plane. It began to overtake the plane and fly in front of it until both were lost in the skyline. Dozens of people observed them and Harris said, "There is no known conventional military aircraft that flies with such speed and reflects sunlight! So we discussed an alien flying saucer, or a secret human aircraft. The photo will be in the next issues of "ET" and "Phenomena" Greek UFO magazines. Thanks to MUFON CMS
India Orbs
Delhi -- This is amazing that according to the direction of the pilot I switched off my mobile on June 17, 2013. Suddenly something happened to me and I felt I had to take a video. So I switched on the mobile and I started to record out the aircraft window and suddenly saw these lights. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Hyderabad -- I was in the train, which stopped at the Railway Station and took pictures of the Falaknuma Palace on the hill from the train window in a span of 5 seconds using my Samsung Mobile Phone. I did not notice the UFO in the pictures for a month. I observed a UFO the first picture taken at 6:09 pm, but it was gone 5 seconds later.

Donegal -- Patrick Mannering wrote: "I and one other friend drove from Glenties to Letterkenny and we were heading to our friend's house for some pre-drinks and banter on 27 Jul 2014, at 11:10 PM. The lane to my friend's house is steep climb so we had a good view of the sky over Letterkenny as we neared the top. My friend said, "What's that green light?" I spotted a glinting green light hovering, and then the light travelled faster than anything I have seen across the sky towards the hills. It stopped still again and then took a sharper downward angle behind the hills. Then it was gone. We were gobsmacked. I had stopped the car on a steep angle of the hill without realizing it, that's how much it captured my attention. It is the smoothest, slickest, fastest looking thing I have ever seen. It took less than a few seconds to cross the whole sky. It was the size of the North Star and a bright electric green. This is one if the strangest things of my life.

Lamas - San Martin -- This sighting occurred on Friday, July 25, 2014 in the town of Lamas - San Martin, 22 km (30 minutes) from the city of Tarapoto. We were walking with my mother, daughter, and her friend. The friend of my daughter was the one who took the photos from the camera phone of his mother around noon, taking several photos, including capturing images attached to this report. The next day when they went to check out the photos that were taken during the ride got this surprise. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Switzerland - MUFON Takes another Look at Meier's UFOs
In 1980, Billy Meier, the Swiss UFO contactee, took 63, clear 35mm film photographs and a five-minute video of an object dubbed the Wedding Cake UFO, or WCUFO. Skeptics immediately pounced on the photos claiming they showed a model made from a garbage can lid and Christmas tree ornaments. With MUFON, lacking the technology to determine the authenticity of his UFO photos, and Meier himself not saying anything, the matter was perceived as a hoax. Fast forward to today where independent researcher Professor Rhal Zahi revives the Meier cold case by taking a took a close look at the "DNA" in the WCUFO photos using PhotoShop, professional 3-D computer modeling software and actual scale models. His 74-page report, including his reproducible protocols, conclusively authenticates the photos as large, unknown objects and rules out small models or special effects. Prof. Zahi then discovered never before seen details in a nighttime WCUFO photo that have been hidden - for 34 years - revealing that the craft is hovering over a gravel road and that Meier somehow actually took the photo from... above the object.
Armed with Prof. Zahi's authentication of the WCUFO, American representative, Michael Horn, contacted Jan Harzan, the Executive Director of MUFON, who has known about the Meier case for 25 years and struggled with it being simply "too good." Harzan and Horn formed a precedent setting alliance and for the first time in 34 years, MUFON opened the Meier case to its 3,000 members worldwide. According to Horn, "Prof. Zahi's work vindicates Meier of charges that he hoaxed his evidence. It also makes the SETI program unnecessary because it conclusively shows that the UFOs photographed and filmed by Billy Meier are extraterrestrial in origin. With Meier's well-documented contacts with the Plejaren extraterrestrials still ongoing for over 72 years - and so rich in scientific information- the implications are truly staggering. "Now along with NASA aerospace engineers recognizing its significance, modern technology makes it easy to prove the most important discovery in all of science and human history for themselves. We are not alone, we've been contacted." Meier's UFO pictures were shown at the MUFON Conference. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org
Spain Circular Object
Malaga, Andalusia -- A thick nearly circular object A thick nearly circular metallic slate grey object with a indented line splitting the top dome half from the bottom half on July 6th 2014, at 10:30 PM. The bottom half had a round opening that exposed a deep yellow light source. The object stayed in place in the distance near the adjacent buildings from where I was standing on a balcony at Apartment Merced's Penthouse overlooking Plaza de la Merced after which it flew sideways. At this point buildings obstructed it from my view. I am the only witness due to the shortness of its visibility and the general business of the plaza. I watched the skies for two more hours but did not see it or any other suspicious shapes for the remainder of my visit to the city.
United Kingdom/England Sightings
Blackpool --The event started as I was sipping coffee in my garden on July 6, 2014, when I received a message from my friend saying, "I' am almost at yours now, and just seen those strange orbs again". I looked up to see a small circular object coming from the northeast moving south at a steady speed. I attempted to video this object a couple of times however it would not appear on the screen so I decided to take some pictures instead. I managed to snap a few pictures as it passed. Six minutes later the second larger orb came into view travelling the same flight path. I ran inside and grabbed a monocular to watch an object that lacked a rigid outline and was fuzzy as I captured 30 seconds of footage. The craft passed by at 6:25 PM. A third craft flew by on the same flight path that was flatter and more streamlined. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Plymouth -- Last night about 11.30 PM, on July 17, 2014, I saw three fast moving flying objects, they were glowing orange and shaped like a wide triangle. I realized they were too big and changing direction too fast to be birds. They moved around the sky about my house for about 10-15 seconds then as they were getting further away they just disappeared. Thanks to John Hayes www.UFOinfo.com
Norwich -- As my son and I were walking our dog by the River Yare near Bland Road with fighter jets roaring above our heads at great height on 2:20 PM on May 23, 2014. They looked very small and they were not playing war games, but chasing a UFO radar contact for I knew from previous experiences how to tell the difference. We watched a fighter plane go into a great fluffy white cloud that was unlike the other clouds. I said to my son to, "Watch for a UFO to come out of the other end of it." There was a short gap between clouds and as we watched, a huge craft materialized within the gap. It was long like a cigar and light metallic green with two bars or rails running along ether side underneath that shone a brighter metallic green. After around ten seconds it dematerialized and a jet fighter came out of the cloud, which was tiny like a fly in comparison to the UFO. We could hear the jets searching for the craft. I got the impression that the UFO was kind of playing games with them. I have watched UFOs three times in my life. NOTE: The above the image of a craft was taken in RI in July 1967.

Venezuela Lights
San Cristobala – We saw a fire ball suspended in the first view appear and disappear, to the west of the Tachira State viewed from a zone called Zumbador in the Andean Mountains. It flew over the sea for three minutes on a clear night without moon light. We recorded a HD video with a Samsung S4 cell phone. It was viewed a second time when the UFO appeared in the north part of the state for four minutes. It was bright with changes of color and size and then disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Street Stoppers is a new food truck opened near Venus Store, FC Road. I am glad that someone decided to open a food truck for quick bites in the location where most of students hang out. Street Stoppers have a small but interesting menu with The Pav Bhaji Bombs being their highlight. In the recent times, we've come across a lot of fusion Pav Bhaji delicacies like Pav Bhaji Fondues or Carbon Pav Bhaji. So here's another version of Pav Bhaji that will leave you spoilt for choice. What's so catchy about this dish?! Well, the Pav Bhaji Bombs are made by filling bhaji inside the pavs with some tangy chipotle sauce and topped with melted mozzarella cheese. The combination is pretty unique and one of it's kind. I absolutely second their idea of naming the dish The Pav Bhaji Bombs. Street Stoppers serve these Pav Bhaji Bombs. One serving includes three bombs, priced at INR 90. You should also try their peach iced tea and garlic pizza bread.

This Way visits Custommade's head office in Copenhagen
More precisely I went to visit the lovely International PR manager, Christina Haugaard in order to get to know more about the Danish brand and to see the new collection SS15. When the brand was founded the vision was to custom clothing and made a few pieces of each clothing item, which then got a number. That meant that each clothing had tags with a number and each pieces was "custom-made" and not mass-produced. This brands vision is still to keep it custommade even though the brand has expanded and is not making one-piece items. They are true to their vision and keep the quality and "fine-touch", which is the signature of the brand.
I took a sneak-peak in the showroom and was amazed by the variety of styles and colours it provided.
Below are some pictures from my visit.

I couldn't help myself by not taking a picture of this sweat.
Me wearing one of my favorite pieces, a long vest from the AW14 collection, which is out in stores in Aug.

CPL welcomes Simon Taufel to match officials team
Simon Taufel.
Former ICC Elite Panel umpire, Simon Taufel, who won five consecutive ICC Umpire of the Year Awards from 2004 to 2008, has joined the Hero CPL match officials team.
Taufel, who retired from umpiring in September 2012 following the ICC World Twenty20 final, then held the post of ICC Umpire Performance and Training Manager until August 2016, joins the CPL in a dual role – as one of the traveling Match Referees and also as Umpire Trainer and Assessor.
CPL Tournament Operations Director, Michael Hall is looking forward to Taufel's involvement: "Simon's resume speaks for itself, and we are happy that he will be sharing his vast experience and knowledge in support of our tournament umpires. Since June, in collaboration with Peter Nero, Cricket West Indies (CWI) Umpire Trainer and Assessor, he has been conducting remote training sessions with all CPL match officials, and this will culminate in a one-day seminar and workshop in Trinidad on September 3."
Taufel is also keen about his appointment: "When I was approached by the CPL and offered this assignment I had no hesitation in accepting it. Quite apart from having always enjoyed being in the Caribbean, the opportunity to support the tournament by developing reporting processes and systems which will provide more robust feedback on the performance of all the umpires in the tournament was something which definitely appealed to me."
At the end of the tournament, Taufel will provide the CPL, CWI and the umpires themselves with holistic feedback reports which will help to guide future umpiring appointments as well as provide the umpires with a clear indication of their strengths and weaknesses.
Taufel's team includes ICC International Panel umpires Leslie Reifer Jnr. (Barbados) and Shaun George (South Africa) along with CWI Tier 1 umpire Zahid Bassarath (Trinidad). The other team will be led by West Indian Match Referees Michael Ragoonath (Trinidad) and Reon King (Guyana) and will include ICC International Panel Umpires Nigel Duguid (Guyana), Gregory Brathwaite (Barbados) and Langton Rusere (Zimbabwe).
First started in 2013, the CPL is a franchise-based T20 format cricket tournament that combines two of the most compelling aspects of Caribbean life – dramatic cricket and a vibrant Carnival atmosphere.
Trinbago Knight Riders are the current Hero CPL champions and the other competing teams are Barbados Tridents, Guyana Amazon Warriors, St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots, St. Lucia Zouks and Jamaica Tallawahs. The 2019 tournament will take place between September 4 and October 12.

Despite being one of the most mentioned adaptation needs in the Paris NDCs, water has been one of the 'poor relations' of green/climate finance, rarely mentioned compared to energy and transport. So it was good to see a thoughtful and expertly-panelled conference devoted to it in London last week, organised by Environmental Finance.
Water: Risk, Opportunity and Sustainability was held against the backdrop of stark warnings in a recently published report by the World Water Council that reveals a big gap between needs and finance flows into water. "There is some consensus that the overall 'infrastructure gap' approximates $ 1 trillion per annum, of which water accounts for 15%-30% (compared to a historic investment share of just 6%)," the report says. "As things stand, the infrastructure that is necessary to make the [water] SDGs achievable will not be financed; and what is more, changes to the status quo do not appear to be imminent." Especially in water, for "SDGs" read "NDCs". Certainly the gap seems to be reflected in the use of proceeds for green bonds, where sustainable water management projects were the target for less than 10% of issuance in 2017.
Yet, as several speakers at the conference noted, water is central to all aspects of the climate debate. Introducing one panel, Margaret Kuhlow of WWF said that if climate change is a shark, then water is its teeth – the sharpest and most destructive of its immediate effects. John Joyce of the Stockholm Institute Water Initiative said that water is "complicated, because it has a financial value but also an intrinsic value in terms of human life itself." Faith Ward of the Brunel Pension Partnership said that when trying to get attention from trustees, "water is a good way in because it's quite personal to people. Water touches every asset class that investors are bought into, whether its adaptation risks like flooding, or scarcity or pollution effects in industry, agriculture and forestry."
That said, though, it was clear from the investor panels that most institutions are only just beginning the journey into evaluating water issues, whether as a risk to companies they invested in or an opportunity for investment. Monika Freyman of Ceres said that only one of thirty-six firms they had surveyed said they felt they fully understood the topic. "Carbon is still way ahead of water in terms of risks companies evaluate," she said. Ceres has created an Investor Water Toolkit to help institutional investors assess water risks in companies, and Freyman urged investors to push for transparency over water from their investees, both as to the risks facing their businesses and supply chains, and over how they are addressing the water SDGs. "We've found," Freeman said, "that because water is so interwoven in so many ways, understanding it leads to understanding many other factors, for example how regional governance works, because of the way water crosses boundaries."
CDP's Rick Stathers said that water disclosure has been moving up the corporate agenda since CDP added it to their disclosure 'suite' in 2009, but they still only get a 50% response rate from companies. "Some major companies are now, in turn, asking suppliers to disclose," he said, noting that "this may be more effective in terms of creating change because there's immediate cash in involved if these companies don't get the answers they want." He reckoned that about 40% of CDP companies are engaging with their supply chains in this way, "but only 20% do a full assessment of their water risk". He also noted that "there is embedded water in every product, but very few companies are using a shadow water price, so rapid increases in the price of water as a result of scarcity could create shocks."
There's no excuse for companies not doing water risk assessments, the tools are there
There's no excuse for companies not doing such assessments, said Rick Hogeboom, a water researcher at Twente University. "The tools have developed in the past decade for measuring water footprint, there are now methodologies to account for this properly. Investors need to understand water risk at the company level, and no one should hide behind saying there's no data – investors should press investees to report." There are also established technologies to reduce water usage in both industry and agriculture, even for "nil blue water" use in industry. In agriculture, he said, "just move from sprinkler to drip irrigation and you'll have huge impact."
Turning to how commercial and development banks are looking at water risks and opportunities, Ase Bergstedt of Scandinavian banking group Nordea said that, as to their own exposures, "we are much more risk-aware on climate, but it takes time to integrate that awareness across a bank's whole risk system". As to helping their borrowers pursue opportunities, for example in developing new technologies, she said that "though we want to help bank customers innovate, regulation is heavy in the banking industry."
Ambika Jindal of Dutch commercial bank ING was asked whether, by insisting on climate risk disclosures from borrowers, it was losing business. "Maybe," was her response, "because we often say 'No' because of environmental factors. But this differentiates us in the market, so the way we see it we end up getting more of the 'right kind' of clients. She noted that ING had recently been given the role of 'sustainability co-ordinator' by Dutch giant Phillips, "which uses three banks for its business and had never given one a specific role before."
Ashok Chapagrain, an academic who has worked extensively with the Dutch development bank FMO, said that "tools for understanding water risks are better, but we aren't seeing the uptake of them by companies or investors. So there is an opportunity there to improve, but we need to make these tools, like flood and drought maps, more accessible and usable by small businesses." On the portfolio management side, he cited an internal scoring tool developed by FMO that allows the bank to measure risk in four levels, and thus see how investees are progressing. "You don't need exact scores," he said, "you can use relative measures and still get a good picture."

More with less
Sponsors of the conference included WWF and The Nature Conservancy, and it's notable that innovation in the water space, as in other climate finance sectors, seems to be being driven by NGOs. TNC's Guilio Bocalletti showed how rethinking hydropower developments at a river-system level , rather than project-by-project as typically happens now, can massively reduce social and environmental impacts, while (in the case presented, in Colombia) nearly doubling the overall IRR of the projects once aggregated.
To promote such (literally) joined up thinking and the necessary changes to public procurement, TNC is promoting what it calls "Early Planning Project Preparation Facilities" for hydropower. These would provide project promoters with the 1-2% of project costs needed to carry out "risk optimised" planning, these costs being repaid to the Facility by auction winners when projects were put out to tender. If this approach to procurement was rolled out, Boccalletti said, "we could save 100,000 km of free-flowing river without any reduction in output, which actually adding financial value." He called on financiers to look at ways of aggregating projects via new funding products. (The ecological prize, by the way, is immense: freshwater animal species are collapsing much faster than marine or terrestrial.)
But where are the public financiers?
Institutions like the World Bank/IFC need to be become 'de-risking machines,' not primary financiers
Pritha Hairiam of FMO noted that "There's a huge opportunity in water management in emerging markets. You can make money out of wastewater, more than drinking water." But Sophie Tremolet of the World Bank, opening a session on blended finance, said that while the need is something like $100 billion a year, water funding has never got above $17 billion. "We recognise," she went on, that "institutions like the World Bank/IFC need to be become 'de-risking machines,' not primary financiers. That's not happening because the incentives are still to get cash 'out of the door', to make loans. There needs to be a transformation in the mindset."
That's right, said Alex Money of Oxford University (one of the authors of the World Water Council report mentioned above). "There's a perception and reality gap with the MDBs. The perception is that they take tail risk, but they don't. In reality, they are as risk averse as the next guy." Equally, though, he said, the perception that the private sector is only interested in financial return is wrong: increasingly they are looking for social and environmental impacts too. "We need to look at this with a fresh lens. For example, remittance flows are running at $600 billion to emerging and frontier countries, which is three times the level of ODA. There must be ways of attracting those flows into water and other development projects."
Certainly water and sanitation needs to get higher up the agenda for blended finance, said Kathleen Dominique of the OECD: it captured only 2% of these flows between 2012-16. And the projects aren't getting into our portfolios, said Piet Klop of Dutch pension fund PGGM, "because we like 'big and boring,' and either the deals are too small or the aggregation of the deals by DFIs is too expensive for us." The DFIs need to make he deals cheaper, so pension funds and other institutional investors can take them in packaged form, like green bonds.
