The FIRS
The International Forum of Solid Waste - FIRS has established itself as the most important technical and scientific event in Brazil in the theme of solid waste. It presents a broad view of the subject, ranging from academic studies to governmental and business views. Its purpose is to disseminate and deepen knowledge that addresses the causes of the existence of solid waste, thus provoking reflection that will raise awareness of its consequences for the historically - and socially-built relationship between society and nature.
The search for solutions for the adequate management of solid waste has been a challenge, both for the public and private sectors. There is concern especially about the pollution of water resources, but also about understanding the mechanisms of biodegradation of the reject mass and its influence on the behavior of landfills and, by extension, the life of the populations.
Waste deposited in "dumps", in addition to emitting greenhouse gases, as presented in the previous edition of the FIRS, are sources of pollution of groundwater and soil. Waste decomposition may extend for decades after deactivation, increasing the potential for contamination of water resources. After the pollutants are part of the predominant groundwater flow system, they follow the water table until they reach surface waters, producing significant changes in aquatic species and human health.
The eighth edition of FIRS is essential to continue the discussions that started in the previous editions, to disseminate and deepen knowledge about solid waste and to meet the demands of public policies, waste generators, industries, the waste management chain, and environmental technology research and development centers.

About Curitiba
The capital of Paraná is a metropolis with almost 2 million inhabitants. The fundamental trait that defined the profile of Curitiba was the arrival of immigrants from the most varied backgrounds. Europeans, Asians and Africans contributed to the formation of the city's population, economic, social and cultural structure. In the same way, people from all Brazilian regions also moved to Curitiba and helped build its image.
Built on a plateau 934 meters above sea level, devoid of landscape landmarks offered by nature, Curitiba ended up creating its main references through science and human craft. Here, thought is given to urban life from the humanist point-of-view that the city belongs primarily to its inhabitants. The people of Curitiba, a melting pot of foreigners from all over the world and Brazilians from every corner, teach the art of coming together and living harmoniously in daily life.
The model that has been maintained since its first edition is in the form of lectures and panels, interspersed with intervals —"coffee and prose" — and time left at the end for questioning by the public to the speakers; scientific work presented both orally and on posters; case presentation and sustainable showcase. From different aspects, all these activities address the common theme of solid waste and the environment.
The speakers and guests of the event are a selected group of academic and scientific authorities in their respective areas, as well as entrepreneurs and representatives of companies with outstanding activity in the area of solid waste.

The Prince of the Marshes and Other Occupational Hazards of a Year in Iraq
by Rory Stewart
Harcourt, 396 pp., $25.00
The British governed Iraq under a League of Nations mandate, and with some success, between 1920 and 1932. They returned to southern Iraq in 2003 as a junior member of the US-led coalition which invaded and conquered the country. With the second British coming arrived Rory Stewart, a young soldier and diplomat. The book under review is his story of the part he played in governing, successively, two southern provinces in Iraq, Maysan and Dhi Qar, between September 2003 and June 2004. He tells how the attempt to bring democracy and freedom to Iraq led to the frustration of the conquerors, the dissolution of the state, and the country's collapse into insurgency and sectarian violence. Implicitly his book is a devastating indictment of a total failure to align rhetoric with reality. It raises profound questions about the purposes and limits of military intervention in the internal affairs of a country in today's world. The reader cannot put the book down without wondering: What on earth did they think they were doing?

Did Rivaldo just announce Zinedine Zidane as new Madrid coach?
There were plenty of rumours in the build-up to Real Madrid's El Clasico clash with Barcelona that Rafa Benitez would lose his job with a defeat.
After 90 minutes, Real Madrid were not just beaten at The Bernabeu but completely humiliated by Barcelona. The Catalans were smashed 4-0 thanks to goals from Luis Suarez (2), Neymar and Andres Iniesta.
But, it was not just a big defeat, the manner of the loss was seriously embarrassing that the white hankies were out for Benitez. At half-time and at full time!
After the game, on Instagram, Rivaldo announced that Real Madrid have appointed Zinedine Zidane as their new coach.
This is in line with rumours pre match, but Rivaldo is so far the only "news source" reporting it says 101greatgoals.
Translation of Rivaldo's Instagram is as follows:
"Congratulations to all players of Barcelona, was were incredible at Real Madrid, looked like a 2 rings of training. Real Madrid already has a new coach in Zidane, I believe it's time to give opportunity to him as did Barça with Guardiola and Luis Enrique."
This is quite some call from Rivaldo, despite the fact the Brazilian is a Barcelona legend.

SOCI1015 Human Rights, Wellbeing and Politics
Module Overview
The overall aim of the module is to develop using citizenship theory an understanding of social rights from both a national and international perspective.

The main questions that will be addressed are as follows: Theoretical/ conceptual: What is citizenship theory? What does it say about the relationships between individuals, social groups and the state? What does it say about individuals' membership of a community? How has citizenship theory developed since T H Marshall's seminal contributions? What are the main criticisms of Marshall's approach? How have socio-structural changes since Marshall's time been addressed in citizenship theory? What are the different types of rights associated with citizenship status? How strong is the argument for social, as well as civil and political rights, as central to the development of citizenship? Citizenship status, social rights and social policy: What is the relationship between social rights and social policy? How encompassing has the development of social rights been in different national settings? Are the rights of some social groups (eg women, migrants) generally less well developed than others? What is the relationship between the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and how has this changed over time? How, if at all, has social policy changed to ensure the maintenance of social rights in altered socio-structural circumstances (eg globalization, demographic change)?

This weekend saw the Dinner at the Manor staff descend upon beautiful York for their Christmas party. The chef was to be Sara Danesin of Masterchef fame and proprietor of Sara at St John's, York's now famous supperclub. We had to book months ago for this and even then places were hard to come to by, so we were very excited. Sara was the passionate Italian chef on Masterchef who made it to final three but was pipped to the post by quirky and innovative chef Tim Anderson. She is probably most remembered for the consistent quality of her food, and whilst most of her peers crumbled around her she always kept her cool. I was very excited to try a meal prepared for her as she had been my favourite on the show. I also secretly hoped she'd rustle up the chocolate ravioli for us!
Sara at St John's is based very centrally in York with views of the city walls and the Minster nearby. We arrived at her garden gate and when the Minster struck 7pm were let in by host, and husband to Sara, David. Despite being left out in the cold for a few minutes I actually loved this touch and we may bring something similar to the manor as our guests will know that our actual front door is accessed by our back garden. Watch this space!
Sara's home was cosy and inviting with amazing smells of licorice coming from somewhere. Sara was busy in her brand new kitchen, which I understand was only built in her new extension this summer. We were seated at our tables in her dining room cum living room. As a party of four we had our own small table, perhaps more private dining than supperclub and not as conducive to chatting with strangers, but pleasant nonetheless.
Our amuse bouche was a tiny rye toast with fried quails egg and truffle oil. It was perfectly seasoned with the yolk still runny. I wolfed it down, as did everyone else. We all agreed we could easily have had ten more each, delicious! I'll apologise now for the photos which were taken by my mobile phone, but it gives you an idea!
The starter was Sara's audition dish for Masterchef, a very neatly presented aubergine parmigiana. It came complete with smear of homemade pesto and olives from Taggiasche. The olives were unique to a certain part of Italy and were soft, sweet and tasty. This dish was rich and tantalising. It could potentially have been a bit rustic but Sara's talent introduced a subtle elegance to it. My photo isn't great as I'd already started eating it having forgotten to take any pics!
For main we were all slightly worried as we had been promised Whitby white crab ravioli. All of us are very greedy and were concerned that we'd leave feeling hungry! We needn't have worried as the ravioli came plump and generously served with a salty beurre noisette. We were last to be served for this course and yet still first to finish! I've never been a fan of crab but the use of white meat alone gave a very sweet and pleasant filling for the perfect spinach pasta pockets. Again, I could have easily polished off another serving! Hats off to Sara for making such a time consuming course for a large group of guests. It showed real skill, especially as they all looked exactly the same as well!
Dessert was my champion course of the night. A beautiful dish that comprised an Alphonso mango parfait, passion fruit glaze, white chocolate and coconut pannacotta and a black olive caramel. The parfait was smooth and creamy and the passionfruit glaze gave it a tangy, tongue tingling edge. The pannacotta was less up my street but was a good contrast to the fruity elements. The black olive caramel was suitably intriguing, offering a new taste sensation and a talking point around the table!
We ended with coffee and little mince pie bites, after which Sara came round to chat to us all. I have to say that I was very impressed. The dining room looks directly into the kitchen so we could see Sara hard at work all night. As ever she was graceful and in control. The kitchen as well was clean, spotless and in complete order! We're now four events into our supperclub project and I cannot say the same for the state of our kitchen at the end of each night! Sara has a good few more events under her belt (she's still running about two events a week at the moment), but even so I still think it's impressive!
If you can get booked in I do recommend you pop over to York and pay Sara a visit. She's booked up until September 2012 so you might need to get booked in now! You're guaranteed a taste sensation. I didn't get to sample the chocolate ravioli, but there's always next time!

I was intrigued by the idea of weaving a tri-shaped vessel. The number 3, a triad, is an ancient and sacred archetype which represents many things in different cultures including the 3-fold nature of the Goddess and the 3 realms of lower-middle and upper worlds.
I wanted to connect the triads and used hand-carved stones to provide the connections.

In Gmünd we have four studios available for artists to work and exhibit their latest creations. Artists stay in Gmünd for one or two months, or even longer, becoming part of town life and interacting with tourists and locals. Here they can concentrate on their work without the distractions of everyday life at home.
The four studios in Gmünd are:
1) Artist in Residence Studio Maltator
2) Gallery Studio Maltator Parterre
3) The Holzfalt Atelier
4) The Altstadt Gallery
There is some brief information about this year's artists at the bottom of this page.
The Artist in Residence Programme in the Studio Maltator has special importance in the town. Since 1993, over sixty artists from around the world have taken the opportunity to spend two months in the exceptional atmosphere of this medieval gatehouse, working and displaying their latest art. During their stay, artists have an exceptional opportunity to acquaint themselves with Austrian culture and art outside the main urban centres while living in a busy and interested artistic milieu. They become part of our diverse cultural life, with opportunities for exchanges with local and exhibiting artists. At the end of the stay, an illustrated catalogue of all the works created while in Gmünd is produced and presented to the public as part of an exhibition.
Residence periods:
Artist-in-residence 1 May and June
Artist-in-residence 2 July and August
Artist-in-residence 3 September and October
The two-storey studio is over the Maltator town gate, which is part of the intact medieval town wall. Accommodation consists of a furnished apartment on the second floor (c. 50 m²) and three studio rooms on the first floor (c. 50 m²). There is the opportunity to work outside in the small front garden. The studio rooms are equipped with electric heating and the apartment with a wood burning stove.
During their two-month stay the visiting artist has free use of the studio apartment and the studio rooms. The Cultural Initiative Gmünd covers accommodation and operation expenses, and also pays for an eight page A5 exhibition catalogue, as well as organizing an exhibition opening, printing and sending of invitations etc. In return, the visiting artist gives the Cultural Initiative an artwork created during their stay in Gmünd. The Artist in Residence is liable for travel expenses, health insurance, working materials and subsistence.
The positive feedback of former visiting artists confirms that the personal touch of the programme and the lively and homely atmosphere of the Artists´ Town Gmünd make this artists-in-residence programme unique in Austria.
At the most
beautiful entrance to the city, the small guest studio in Maltator Parterre
offers each year space for artists to present their artworks and gives the
visitor a nice welcome to the city. In 2018, the studio accommodated the
Carinthian sculptor Johann Wieltsch from mid-May until end of September. Thanks
to his communicative manner the artist knows how to attract even not art
interested visitors to his work and to the cultural offers of Gmünd.
The new
studio Holzfaltatelier Gmünd (literally the "wood folding studio") made a wish
come true for the deceased founder of the Cultural Initiative Gmünd. The
construction of the wood studio for sculptors was generously supported by the
company Hasslacher Norica Timber. The architectural impressive studio for
sculptors and designers in front of the gates of the Artists' Town Gmünd is
exhibition and working space at once. In 2018, there were invited Giorgio
Benedetti from Italy for six weeks and Michael Punz from Austria who just
graduated from master's class for sculptors in Hallstatt, Salzburg. He is going
to take advantage of the new Holzfaltatelier from July until September.
After two
years of reconstruction and renovation of a historical building in Gmünd's old
town the Altstadt-Gallery was opened in 2009. The ambitious gallery owners
offered artists from the region an opportunity to exhibit their artwork in
those rooms. But due to tragic circumstances, the house was up to sale in 2013
and the municipality purchased it to ask the Cultural Initiative to find
artists who may exhibit there again. Since then, every year several artists
come for the Artist in Residence programme and work in those two beautiful
studio rooms. There are always two artists at the same time working and
displaying their latest works of art.
In 2018,
there are 9 artists from Germany, Austria, Great Britain and Italy invited.

The British artist Juliet Venter has found a second home in Carinthia since July 2017. After completing a MA degree in literature at the University of Cambridge, she began full-time painting in 2008 with icon painting. Using classical materials such as egg tempera, gold leaf, earth and mineral pigments, soda base and parchment, Juliet Venter has become a classic icon painter, producing panel paintings and contemporary miniatures in which humor is not neglected. She has become a master in this craft, appreciated for her delicate execution and her fantastic colors, and now holds iconic painting courses on four continents.

TU, 26 June, 19.00 o'clock
artist Élise Benard, born in 1984 in Paris, applied for a studio space in 2018
at the suggestion of Séverin Krön, guest artist in the Maltator in 2015. She
studied art in Paris, did her master's degree in 2009 and has been working
since than as freelance artist, specialized in woodcut and painting. So far,
she has only worked in France, where she has been part of numerous solo and
group exhibitions. The reason she applied for a stay in the Maltator is that
she longs to see beyond France's borders, to get to know new cultures and to
have exciting encounters. In Gmünd she wants to use her favourite woodcut
technique to develop a graphic documentation of the forest. In the form of a
"forest panorama", it will be dedicated to her artistic work during
her stay.

Schweiger was born 1970 in Ried im Innkreis, Upper Austria, and studied at Art
University Linz. She lives and works as freelance artist in Linz. Her works can
be found for example in Museum Angerlehner in Upper Austria and in the art
collection of Linz. The artist, who mainly paints in acrylic technique, uses as
template her own photographs and sketches of forays into nature.
Schweiger already worked in the Altstadtgalerie Gmünd in 2017 and experienced
then how many advantages a change of location has. It is important for her to
use the time in the guest studio intensively, to work on her own and without
too many distractions for being able to deal with new topics and things. What
also matters to her a lot is the interaction with other artists, including the
local artists.

TH, 25 October, 19.00 o'clock
Graf, who was born in 1958 in Feldkirch, Vorarlberg, and studied at the Academy
of Fine Arts in Vienna, has been exploring artistically sediments and rock
formations over years. His work has led him to landscapes all around the world,
including native Vorarlberg as well as the US state Kentucky, Island Sylt in
Germany or the Vesuvius in Italy. With Alfred Graf, the term "landscape
painting" gets a completely new meaning. For him, the landscape is not only the
subject but also material for his works. But where does nature stop and art
begin? This is the question that defines his artistic work.
sculptures, Austria | Artist in Residence from May until September 2018
The artist
Johann Wieltsch from Carinthia has worked as wood sculptor for 20 years. The
result of his constant urge to come to
terms with figure, form and material was the constant growth of his own
sculptural vocabulary, which impressively manifests itself in powerful
sculptures. In order to meet his personal and also the different demands of the
respective special design and desired overall effect of his objects, he
extended the range of raw materials used to stone, glass and metal. His body
and nature figurations appear partly archaically unapproachable, partly
attractively graceful.
Benedetti was born in Piran/Istria in 1949. In 1968, he got the diploma
"Maestro d'Arte" at Art Academy Udine and has worked as freelance
sculptor ever since. He has already been part of national and
international exhibitions and his works can be found in various public
and private art collections in Italy, Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
Wood sculptor, Austria | Artist in Residence from July until September 2018
Born in 1990 in Upper
Austria, Michael Punz graduated from the College for Sculpting in
Hallstatt, Salzburg and worked as stone restorer at preservation of
historical monuments until 2016. In 2017, he did the master's degree at
Master School for Sculpting in Hallstatt. Michael Punz has participated
in numerous national and international sculpting symposiums and was
happy to have his first own studio during summer in Gmünd.
SCHOOL | Exhibition of the secondary school Gmünd
and collages about Gmünd | 6 April to 4 May 2018
artistic group of the 4th grade of Gmünd's secondary school invited the
cultural interested audience to a special exhibition. Within a creativity
project last year, many wonderful photographs and photo collages resulted and
were presented to the public by the pupils.
& Performance, Germany | Artist in Residence from 10 April until mid-May
Judisch, who was born in 1981, was already guest artist in Gmünd in autumn 2009.
During his stay in the Artist in Residence Studio Maltator, city life couldn't be thought of
without his presence. No event he did not attend, no corner of the city he did
not visit. His sensational installations were remembered by many people, his
published catalogue shows impressively which artworks resulted from his two
months' stay.
Nothing in
his works is as it seems, he is a master of irritations, of the Trompe l'œuil!
That's how he became guest artist in the Altstadtgalerie and participant in the
theme-based exhibition 2018 in the Gallery Miklautz.
painting, Austria | Artist in Residence from mid-May until end of June 2018
The artist,
who was born in 1961 in Villach, Carinthia, was a private student of prof.
Franz Schneeweiß for several years. She graduated from college for fashion
design with a master's certificate. After that, she worked as an artistic
consultant for several fashion companies and later on, she dedicated herself to
painting. In Gmünd she again led two workshops for abstract painting.
"When I'm
painting, I dive into a richness of live. The outside retreats and I allow my
intuition to take over. In a constant play of colours and shapes the abstract
subjects change from flowing embodiments towards figurative ones – each of them
with its own character. Abstract painting invites the beholder to see in his
own way, to discover his images in mine. For me, art is something active, a
process which hasn't ended with the last brush stroke, but in fact starts with
it. Art is energy!"
and graphics, Austria | Artist in Residence from May until September 2018
Carinthian photographer Eva Staber studied at Vienna Federal Training and
Research Institute of Graphic Arts photography and audio-visual media. She
favours a technique called Lomography that likes to use imperfect image quality
on purpose and technical "disruptions" such as over- and underexposure or
blurs. Changes of colours and shapes let the borders to abstraction blur and
the depicted landscapes turn into highly poetic pictures.
The young
photographer Eva Staber came back to Carinthia after she had worked in a
professional photo studio in Vienna. For five months, she has her photo studio
in the Altstadtgalerie in Gmünd now. Here, she displays her photographical
works and Lomography series but takes as well photographical orders, offers
image processing or reproductions of old photographs and is happy to design any
kind of print jobs. As an experienced photographer, Eva Staber has already had
many jobs to publish artists' catalogues. It is also her who produces each year
the tactful film intros about the great artists displayed in our City Tower
Gallery. As a competent art educator, she is available for the Cultural
Initiative Gmünd within the art education programme for the respective City
Tower Gallery exhibition, and the kids love her! In addition to that, she is
part of the Summer Academy Gmünd and offers creative photo workshops every
painting, Great Britain | Artist in Residence in July 2018
Venter is a British artist, who has found a second home in Carinthia since July
2017. After a master's degree for literature at University of Cambridge she
started as full-time icon painter in 2008. She enlarges and adapts the
techniques of medieval manuscript illumination to work on a bolder scale using her
own gesso panels. She uses historical pigments such as lapis lazuli and
vermillion, real gold leaf, and raised or tooled gilding. In her whimsical
pieces she has fun mixing up inspiration from medieval manuscripts with
contemporary naturalism. They are snapshots of the view from her workroom
window, celebrating the wildlife of the humble suburban garden: birds, rodents,
critters and the infinite variety of domestic cats. In the meantime, she has
become a real master in this metier, she is appreciated for her fine work and
the fantastic colours and holds workshops for icon painting on four continents.
Graphics, Installations, Performance, Austria | Artist in Residence in August
Carinthian Artist studied German philology, art pedagogy and art history from
1980 until 1985 and has been living in Lower Austria as art pedagogue and free
lance artist. She has participated in numerous international workshops and has
been part of frequent group and single exhibitions in Austria, Germany and
"The idea of being an Artist in Residence in
Gmünd has been in my mind for several years, and since I grew up in Carinthia
there is a strong connection with the landscape, the people and the language.
Dealing with my "roots", communicating with people of the region and interested
visitors of the city but also having a certain distance to the familiar could
be a great enrichment for my personal artistic work. On the one hand, I hope
for an intense working phase and on the other hand I look forward to the possibilities
of networking. This is why I really like the combination of studio and gallery.
animation & Illustration, Italy | Artist in Residence in September 2018
The artist,
born in Rome in 1964 and grown up in Rieti, studied film and cinematography in
Rome and specialised in animated films and short films from 1990 on. Since
then, she regularly works in an animation studio for film and television
companies in Italy. She received numerous awards for her short films and, by
now, she also works as illustrator for children's books. Paola Luciani draws
thousands of individual pictures for one single short film and, while doing so,
she loses track of time. This is her method of processing her positive and
negative emotions and bringing them to paper. With her films, which are
characterized by poetic and psychologic issues, she has been invited to many
important international festivals. In 2012, her film "Island" received two
international awards for the best short film.
last year, Paola Luciani was a guest artist in Gmünd. That was when two
larger-than-life-sized wall paintings in public space in Gmünd resulted. This
year, she offers a film workshop within the Summer Academy.
Austria | Artist in Residence in October 2018
Gredler grew up in Salzburg and studied Mathematics there, than changed to the
study of painting in Vienna and founded an artist group and an own gallery
(halle4). Gredlers works can be found in numerous public collections. The
artist who is especially known for portrait painting has already been Artist in Residence in the Maltator several years ago. He hopes to be able to completely
immerse in his work in the studio of the Altstadtgalerie since he is not always
able to do so during his everyday life in Salzburg. He also offers a workshop
of portrait painting within the Summer Academy.
painting, Austria | Artist in Residence in October 2018
Terekina is young, unconventional and, concerning the painting, well-gifted.
Her teacher was her grandfather. With her great talent she already managed to
draw international attention to her. "In my portrait drawings I try to display
the expression, the life, the fates and the stories of the people, independent
of origin, religion or financial status. Interesting stories can be found
everywhere. I want to thank the Cultural Initiative Gmünd for the possibility
of a short stay in a studio, that really gave me new self-confidence!"

There are several reasons why the glass might have cracked on a wood-burning stove, but all of the many reasons can be separated into two main causes:
- Impact
- Usage
Let's explore both of those groups in more detail.
As you might have guessed, impact damage to your stove glass is caused by something coming into contact with your glass more forcefully than it should. The most common examples of this are:
- Overloading the firebox with fuel, then inadvertently closing the door onto a protruding log.
- Hitting the glass from the outside. For instance, banging the hoover into it or dropping/throwing something that hits the glass.
- Over-tightening screws and bolts holding the glass in place. The impact of an overtightened screw can cause the glass to crack, especially once the stove is up to temperature and the glass expands slightly.
Keep in mind that, even though you might not see the crack straight away, it is possible that the glass is weakened or that a hairline crack that is not yet visible to the naked eye has been caused. Once the stove is operating at a high temperature, the crack might worsen.
Cracks that are caused by usage or, perhaps more accurately, misusage are those that are due to the way that the stove was being operated. Some of the main causes of misusage causing stove glass to crack are:
- Overfiring. This is when the stove is being operated at too hot a temperature. This could be because there is too much fuel in the stove or because too much oxygen is being allowed into the firebox. Ironically, once the glass is cracked, extra oxygen inevitably gets into the stove, which causes even more overfiring. That's why it is important to replace your stove glass when you first notice a crack.
- Burning household coal. Standard household coal is fine to burn on open fires, but it is quite a volatile fuel. Within the confined space of a stove, this can lead to mini-explosions, which are forceful enough to crack the glass. Find out more about why your shouldn't burn household coal on a stove.
- Burning pet coke. Burning petroleum-based fuels – whether deliberately or because your fuel supply has because mixed with pet coke – is also likely to cause explosions in the firebox than will cause the stove glass to break.
Avoiding cracked stove glass
The best way to ensure you don't crack the glass on your wood-burning stove is to take care when adding fuel, only burn the required amount and only burn the types of fuel recommended in your stove manual.
If the glass on your stove is currently cracked, the good news is that it is relatively inexpensive and quite easy to replace.

Housing landscapes and the life course

Email all convenors
Housing is an important space in the geography of everyday life that is deeply intertwined with the structure of multiple life course careers (for example in the domains of family, work and health). In recent years, highly charged public debates about 'housing crises' in Britain and elsewhere have highlighted how changes in housing landscapes are altering demographic processes and creating new life course pressures that are unevenly distributed across birth cohorts, space and social groups. Housing is thus becoming increasingly central to the production, lived experience and transmission of a range of inequalities.
The two sessions in this theme explore the varied connections between micro- and macro-scale landscapes of housing and the unequal (re)structuring of life course careers. Session 1 showcases the latest research on these issues. We welcome conceptual and theoretical contributions, as well as quantitative and qualitative empirical papers from any global context. Session 2 then consists of an open roundtable discussion designed to (i) foster housing-related collaboration among population geographers and (ii) devise a research agenda for further work on this topic. This may also include (iii) planning a journal special issue proposal based around the session themes and (iv) discussing co-ordinated research impact activities.
Instructions for Authors

Avex Group Rediscovers Mainland China MarketJapan-based Entertainment Management firm grants Chinese platform NetEase Cloud Music an exclusive license to its copyrighted music
Japanese entertainment firm Avex Group Holdings Inc. and Chinese digital music platform NetEase Cloud Music jointly announced the signing of an agreement forming a strategic partnership that grants the Chinese platform an exclusive license in mainland China to the copyright of the entire inventory of Japanese songs under Avex's management. The agreement calls for NetEase Cloud Music to handle the distribution and promotion of the Avex collection of music in the mainland Chinese market, placing NetEase Cloud Music in the position of being the platform with the largest collection of copyright-protected Japanese music in the country. The move signals Avex's reentry into the market after a six-year hiatus.
Avex first set up an office in Taiwan as early as 1998, when it planned its first formal entry into the Chinese market, followed by an office in Shanghai. Six years ago Avex retreated from the market when it found itself no longer able to deal with the rampant pirating of music on the internet. Avex decided to return to this important market on the heels of the success of the efforts on behalf of China's regulator, the National Copyright Administration of China (NCAC), to bring order to a market that had been a flagrant violator.
The partnership between NetEase Cloud Music and Avex sets a precedent for the importation of Japanese music into China on a large scale. Chinese online music platforms had been struggling with what they could offer in terms of Japanese music with proper copyright protections, resulting in fans of the music remaining dissatisfied with what was available.
The increasing demand for Japanese music on NetEase Cloud Music as well as the managerial competence of the staff also played a role in leading Avex to choose the platform as their partner. According to usage data from the platform, there has been a considerable increase in the number of times a Japanese song has been streamed, especially songs associated with Japanese animation, comics and games (ACG), with the number of music streams from Japan increasing 80% over the previous year, while ACG-related music saw its streams soar a whopping 280%. Among these users, it is mainly the youth segment that dominates, especially fans born after 1990.

Sterling Crazy 8-Ball

Product Description
The crazy eight ball (8 ball) is the perfect practical joke! This eight ball is regular in every way but one: it is weighted off-center. When this ball rolls, it wiggles and rolls off to the side, and sometimes even changes direction. Imagine the laughs you'll get when your opponent thinks he is seeing things. The crazy 8 ball makes a great gift, or is even better to just have around for the trickster in all of us. One added value of the crazy 8 ball over the crazy cue ball is that your opponent probably won't notice it until they go for their last shot to win the game!

St. Margaret's Center was El Paso's first orphanage, established in 1919 and founded by the grandparents of City Representative Ann Morgan Lily. In 1928, a second orphanage, Southwestern Children's Home was established by parishioners from Trinity Methodist Church and built by the McKee family. The orphanages later merged to form what is now the El Paso Center for Children.
The center celebrates 90 years of caring for El Paso's orphaned, homeless, runaway, abused, and neglected children with a moving narrative of the children's lives. Local authors Donna Munch, Shirley Fouts, and Sandy Rioux have come together to write A Chance for Every Child: A History of the El Paso Center for Children. The book chronicles El Paso history, and how laws and costs for the care and treatment of children have changed in the U.S.
