Where the Web Typography Trend Is Going in 2016
Creating excellent web typography design calls for a balance between what is trending and basic design skills. You must have an eye for what looks good and also consider whether or not the typography is clear enough for the site visitor to easily read. Even the most beautiful design isn't of much use if the website visitor can't understand what the type is trying to convey. It is important to understand the trends but not be so tied to them that you sacrifice the overall aesthetic of the design.
Consider these trends:
Trend # 1: Large CTAs vs. Small Info TextOne trend that has become more common is large call-to-action text versus smaller surrounding text. This tends to draw the eye to the CTA and encourage the site visitor to convert into a customer or subscriber. The larger CTA text is often encapsulated to further draw the eye. Typically, the larger text and smaller text are in the same font, but should at a minimum be in complementary typefaces.
Example: www.apple.com
Trend # 2: Simplified Typefaces
In the fall of 2015, Google unveiled a new logo design and started an interesting trend in typography for 2016. Google's new logo is made up of a pretty simple and easy-to-read font. However, it is bright with multiple colors and also animated. By choosing a simpler typeface, you can add additional elements that might not work as well with a more complicated typeface, such as the animation or some trendy graphics.
You've probably noticed that Google often adds some background graphics to its logo for specific holidays or to celebrate special occasions. This is easier to do if the overall typeface is simple.
Trend # 3: Watered-Down Fonts
Watercolor seems to be making a big splash in design this year, and fonts are no exception to this rule. The look of a watercolor font goes perfectly with the soft, muted look of a watercolor background. This font works best in a logo or a CTA as it is necessarily larger to remain readable. A watercolor appearance works great for portfolios, artists' sites and any type of creative endeavor. It has a modern edge, so if your audience is made up of millennials, then this typeface is one you should consider to grab their interest.
Example: eat-yourself-skinny.com
Trend # 4: Custom Typefaces
With more than 187 million people using smartphones to surf the Internet, some companies have realized the importance of customizing typefaces and choosing ones that look good across multiple devices. One example is Amazon, which came up with the Bookerly typeface for Kindle readers. Apple and Google also have created their own custom typefaces.
Trend # 5: Combining Typefaces
Sometimes, a single font simply isn't enough to get the point across. One of the trends for 2016 is combining more than one font to create a unique logo or overall design concept. One thing you'll want to do is be sure you are using fonts that complement one another. For example, it works to combine serif and sans serif, but probably not sans serif with a script. You can, of course, combine more than two different fonts. However, be cautious about placing too many different fonts on your page, as it can grow distracting to the site visitor.
Example: theforecaster-interactive.com
Trend # 6: Hero Images With Strong Typefaces
According to Awwwards.com, which judges website designs and keeps an eye on current trends, one trend is in the hero design. Because most people today have faster bandwidth, designers can now use large images above the fold. However, with a large background image that fills the screen, it becomes vital to use a typeface that is large and bold or it will get lost in the patterns of the image.
This trend is also appearing in overall designs, with a large, bold graphic-based typeface logo at or above the fold, particularly on a homepage.
Example: maaemo.no
2016 is shaping up to be a year with some very clear-cut new trends. While the elements listed above are common and you'll likely see them as you browse the Internet, designers are always coming up with new ideas. That is why it is so important to know what looks good and where the eye is naturally drawn on a page.
By learning to do this, you will develop a good sense of design and gain the ability to break the rules when needed and follow them when necessary to come up with a unique design that works best for you and your clients. Whether you go with these or choose to think outside the box is up to you and your design preferences.

Today's Guardian article by Senator Nick McKim gives clarity and truth to some of the misinformation or doubts that proliferate about the crisis on Manus Island. To anyone who is asking questions about the refugees and their situation, there are some objective, informed answers. Here at this website too, we're aiming to provide a clear picture with explanatory background information and expert research so that the facts are out there.
So here are some basic truths that many might feel should be coming from our government instead of the 'spin' they send out that unfortunately serves only politicians and not the public.
Q: Why don't the men on Manus Island move to the transit camps where the government says they will have access to all amenities?
A: As the UNHCR has repeatedly made clear, the Lorengau facility was a building site as recently as last week, and was in no fit state for refugees when services were cut off. Based on leaked photos, the site has been described as "half-finished security fences, incomplete sewerage works and demountable buildings still not secured on a muddy site local residents can walk through at will." And even if there were adequate facilities, the frequent and horrifying attacks on refugees in the community mean that the Manus men feel safer in the closed detention centre, the place where PNG navy personnel assaulted them and fired over 100 rounds at them earlier this year.
Q: Why don't the men move to Nauru or become part of the US resettlement deal?
The Nauru facility is another prison for people who have committed no crime. Why would anyone who has been incarcerated for 4 years and seen and felt the horrendous effects of that choose to relocate for another unlimited 'stay' in the same circumstances when their initial objective was to be free from harm and imprisonment? As for the US option, Malcolm Turnbull made it clear to Donald Trump that the new US President was under no obligation to agree to resettle any detainees – merely to consider them through an assessment process. 25 Manus Island refugees have been accepted for permanent resettlement in the US. A week later the the Trump administration committed to cutting back their country's refugee intake even further and after a vehicle attack in New York on October 31 that left eight people dead, the US President ordered the Department of Homeland Security to step up its "extreme vetting program". So the chances of 600 refugees on Manus Island being resettled in the US now seems virtually impossible.
Q: Why aren't we getting the full picture from our media?
A: The government have continually refused to make public details of the offshore detention situation (and of related issues like boat turn-backs). And, the media have had no/ limited access to the Manus detention centre. When the crisis accelerated following the cessation of power, food and water, only certain journalists/political representatives were allowed access to the camp by Australian immigration authorities …
Q. But the policy to 'stop the boats' has worked – saved lives as sea, stopped people smugglers and prevented illegal immigrants landing on our shores, hasn't it?
A: No. The boats haven't stopped coming because there are more and more people in danger in the world looking for a safe place. Many people smugglers are just taking desperate people on longer and more perilous ocean journeys so more lives have been lost at sea as a result.
And Australian authorities are still turning back boats in the waters off northern Australia. The only difference is that the information on those is kept concealed.
In addition, anyone landing on our shores seeking asylum is not 'illegal' – they have every right to enter a country without the usual authorisation when they are fleeing a territory where their life or freedom is threatened under Article 31 of the UN Refugee Convention.
There is more information on all the 'Read' pages of this site – all linked to reliable sources including validated statistics and factual documentation.
Perhaps one QUESTION we should all be asking our Prime Minister and our Immigration Minister is why they won't provide us with the truth about the way our country has been treating asylum seekers.
And perhaps the ANSWER to the question 'what should happen to the men on Manus Island?' is best provided by those who have and utilise ALL the FACTS and who possess the desire to do what is right – legally, morally and even economically.

Minnesota biodiesel essay scholarship winners announced
First- and second-place winners have been announced for the 2017 Clean Air Choice Biodiesel Essay Scholarship, sponsored by the Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council and administered by the American Lung Association in Minnesota.
Kaci Gwilt of Blooming Prairie, Minnesota, is the contest's first-place winner. Gwilt, a graduate of Blooming Prairie High School where she was a remarkable basketball player, is studying chemical engineering at the University of Minnesota. She received a $1,000 check for her winning essay, which recounted her experiences on her grandparents' farm in southern Minnesota. Gwilt's grandfather, a soybean farmer and biodiesel user, explained to her how soybeans from their farm were processed into food, fiber and fuel for the farm's diesel engines.
Abigail Brockhouse is the second-place winner. Brockhouse, a 2017 graduate of Greenbush-Middle River High School in Northwest Minnesota, was a member of the high school student council and is currently a freshman at the University of North Dakota, majoring in athletic training. Brockhouse plans to attend medical school for physical therapy. She received a check for $500 for her essay, which provided an overview of the benefits of biodiesel, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, lessening our dependence on imported petroleum and creating new jobs in Minnesota.
"The role of the biodiesel industry is not [to] immediately to replace petroleum diesel, but to help create a balanced energy policy while benefiting the environment and the economy," Brockhouse wrote. "Biodiesel is one of several alternative fuels designed to extend our energy mix, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and produce domestic fuel supplies and jobs."
Brockhouse began her essay explaining how, in the late 1800s, Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of the compression-ignition engine that bears his name, used vegetable oil to fuel his invention. After explaining the benefits of biodiesel, Brockhouse concluded by writing, "Now, 125 years later, we are just beginning to take Rudolf Diesel's lead and produce and use renewable biodiesel on an industrial scale. Significant health, environment, energy and economic benefits result from producing and using biodiesel. I notice these benefits everyday living in Northwest Minnesota. Our local farmers produce soybeans, sunflowers, and other oilseed crops, that are used to create biodiesel. While, in turn, these same farmers and other diesel fuel users consume a blend of biodiesel in their equipment."
"I was so excited to find out I won this scholarship essay," Brockhouse told Biodiesel Magazine. "I've had previous knowledge of the biodiesel industry through my father, who is employed at BBI International, but after researching for this essay, I was amazed at all of the progress the industry has made."
Brockhouse is the daughter of Howard Brockhouse, business development director for BBI International, the publisher of Biodiesel Magazine.
"It's a great honor to be from Minnesota, knowing that it supports the biodiesel industry, and I'm excited for the future that biodiesel brings," she said.
Minnesota was the first state in the nation to require biodiesel blends in virtually all of the diesel fuel sold in the state. Next year Minnesota will require a 20 percent blend in the warm-weather months, moving to a 5 percent blend in the winter.

All Change!
Hello again, it's a new year, a new month & we have a new blog challenge. Thank you for your lovely entries last month, I'll post the winner tomorrow. All the details can be found on the challenge page.
I have been well & truly deserted by the Muse of creativity & had to force myself not to leave my craft room today until I had made something. I ended up with two wall hangings, made with the Hobby House Baby Fairies toppers. Here's the first one, it's so simple, but took me hours, because I couldn't make a decision about anything & more than one piece of paper & quite a few doilies ended up in the bin.
I coloured the doilies with Worn Lipstick distress ink & cut the toppers with the largest circle & scallop dies that I have - the middle topper is 12cm in diameter - to fit them on the doilies.
Thanks for visiting the blog, I've got to go & write a post for my own blog now. Until next time, take care.

Which Business Model is Right for You? The Essential Questions to Ask Yourself.
One of the issues I assist creative people with most frequently in my consulting and coaching practice is figuring out which business model they want to pursue. There are so many options these days for how to go about structuring your business and how to go about selling your product or service that it can be really tricky to figure out which is the right way for you.
There is no simple answer to this, though the internet seems to be full these days of online companies that offer you 'the' strategy to achieve a six-figure income. Such offers can be very alluring, particularly for creatives who are struggling to bring in the income they would like to. But you really need to ask yourself are these promises sustainable? Are they relevant to an Australian market (if you are indeed Australian like me).? And last, but certainly not least, is the business model and the tasks required of you to action it actually something that you want to do? Let me repeat DO YOU REALLY WANT TO DO THE JOB YOU ARE SIGNING UP FOR? I find it staggering how many people do not really think carefully about this question. And lately I'm hearing lots of creatives complain about how much time these seem to spend in front of the computer.
It is true that the internet has offered us freedom to earn like never before for creative professionals. Do it yourself websites that cost barely nothing and retina displays that offer excellent visuals have made it possible to market your art anywhere in the world. And 'must do' online marketing methodologies seem to be popping up like new religions everywhere! All well and good, and [...]

Author: Jeff
Recently, I realized something quite strange about me, how much I love getting bored with brewing. If you're like me, getting bored just means you need to take a step back and look for something new that will help you reboot.
A couple weeks ago, I was daydreaming during work about trying new hops. Pretty normal, right? Just me? Well, ok then. I'll proceed as if I haven't said anything odd.
Well I got a hankering, and decided to check out one of my favorite suppliers, Yakima Valley Hops (YVH), where I discovered they were running a wonderful raffle. Buy an 8 oz. bundle of four new strains of hops and they might give you a trip to the Fresh Hop festival. I can only imagine it's something like this:
Woohoo! However, when you don't read the description carefully like me, you think that you're getting 2oz of four different hops, amounting to a half pound total.
I had tried Sierra Nevada's Idaho 7 Single-Hop Experiment and absolutely loved it, and I wanted to explore it in depth. Thankfully, the variety pack came with 2oz of this lovely hop, so I ordered another 8oz, to make a beer showcasing this hop. When the package came, instead of 10oz of Idaho 7/007 (the "Golden Hop"), I discovered that I had a full pound.
Well… I figured what could be better than a lot of hops to really showcase and explore something new?

Hop Choices:
Bittering: Comet – 10.5% AA
Description from YVH:
"Selected in 1961 and released in 1974 by the USDA, Comet was originally utilized for its high alpha acid content and adaptability to growing conditions in the Yakima Valley. Commercial production ceased in the early 1980s in favor of newer super-alpha hops. However, Comet has made a recent comeback, finding favor with some brewers in dual purpose applications for its subtle and unique, "wild American" aroma."
From YVH: "Wild notes, citrus fruit, and lemon grass"
Personal Notes: Super bright, pungent, piney with strong apricot and mint. Not expecting much flavor/aroma to carry through to the final beer. Mainly bittering component.
Aroma & Flavor: 007 – 15% AA
Description from BSG:
"Primarily aroma and dry hopping due to its potent aroma and flavor, but high enough alpha acids to contribute good bitterness. Excellent as a single hop or part of a blend for IPA, pale ale, and hop-forward American wheat beers."
The aroma is pungent tropical fruit and citrus (think apricot, orange, red grapefruit, papaya) with big notes of resiny pine and hints of black tea.
Description from YVH:
"The aroma is complex with fruity aromas of orange and apricot mesh with hints of black tea-like character and a pleasant fresh herbal bouquet"
Personal Notes: One of the brightest smelling hops out of the bag. Super Amarillo is how I'd describe it. Citrus all the way through with a whiff of the tropics. Guava maybe? Pineapple, a little tartness on the nose.
You can see my ghetto set up in Jeef's Corner #1 if you'd like.
I mashed in with 5.5 gallons of 164F water to get a mash of 154F. I realize this sounds a little on the hot side, but I was hoping for a light sweetness to back up the stone fruit character of the 007. It's my understanding that this is the recommended mash range for Mike McDole's "Janet's Brown", and I know Mike Tonsemire does the same for his India Brown, so I thought there was sufficient evidence to try it.
The water was treated with one campden tablet to neutralize the chlorine which is quite pungent in the Pullman water. Fingers crossed.
After a 60 minute rest, I drew a sample and chilled it to room temp.
First Runnings SG – 1.082
Pre-boil SG – 1.058.
One thing I noted was that it was a touch darker than anticipated. In reality it wasn't necessarily too dark. It was a pretty copper/garnet color and on par with the delicious IPA from Counterbalance Brewing that I was drinking. It was just darker than I envisioned. These things happen. My supplier's Munich malt may have been 30L instead of 20L. I may have added a touch more midnight wheat than the scale at my LHBS showed. I didn't sweat it too much.
To quote our group text during this brew, "That looks like a seriously irresponsible amount of hops." Why yes, yes it does, thank you for noticing.
The wort was brought to a boil and the hops were added per the prescribed schedule.
For this brew I decided to do a small hop stand, the wort was cooled to 190F using an immersion chiller, held for 15 minutes before being further chilled to 65F.
O.G. was measured at 1.070 – A little under the targeted 1.073, but I can't help but be happy with it being that close. The wort was transferred to a PET carboy and placed in my new handy-dandy ferm chamber.
Brewday + 4 – S.G. read 1.018 (6.7%), about 75% apparent attenuation. At this point 4 oz of 007 was added for the first dry hop charge.
Brewday +7 – 6oz of 007 and 1 oz Exp Grapefruit were added. While I appreciate single hop beers, I just don't think they work as well as hop blends. I like to think of this as a hint of vanilla to accentuate the 007 (chocolate, my wife was making brownies).
After 14 days the beer was stable and then crash cooled and fined with gelatin.
Hot damn. I made a New England-style India Brown Ale, and I didn't even mean to. I should also note that this is post gelatin!
I was fortunate enough to have a local homebrew meeting before I blew the keg (an unfortunate, if common problem in the Jeef household), so I took a growler and twisted some arms to get some unbiased opinions.
Of the ten tasters, there were a lot of comments about the flavor being "singular", which I kind of expected given the major doses of 007. "Not as aromatic as I'd expect," was another comment thrown out there, and I had to agree– one week after tapping, the aroma had declined noticeably. "Moderate 'odd tropical' flavor" and "a lot of ruby grapefruit" were the other notable evaluations. To be a little bit more scientific, I also asked for perceived intensity ratings on a scale of 1-10 and mapped them in this handy chart.
My personal thoughts were that this was a unique, tasty and interesting hop.
Aroma: This beer and hop combination had a robust nose initially. Not "dank", in a stanky, green onion, sort of way, but more of stone fruits which explode on the nose. As noted in the above chart stone fruits (like cherry and apricot) shine through, with a thoroughly pleasant citrusy sharpness.
Flavor: There was definitely a sweetness to this beer, which, from what I measured, is possibly coming from that rare, mythical-even, "Hop Sweetness." I haven't been able to find much in the academic-sense on hop sweetness, but from what I've been able to infer, aggressive dry hopping, especially with newer "juicy" varietals like El Dorado and Mosaic, leave behind a large amount of sweet glycoproteins (the same stuff used to make Stevia, shudder). This beer, however? I love it. The IBUs come through with a tail end bite. It definitely punches through with a sweet, tropical, cherry flavor and aroma.
Overall: This is a really great hop, and I really enjoyed experimenting with it. However, I don't think I'll be incorporating it into my IPA game with any regularity. The sweetness and stone fruit perception from this hop would work well in a cream ale or something else in the lawn-mower family in my opinion. Perhaps along side some other underused favorites like Palisade and Sorachi Ace to round out a nice session ale, and well, that sounds like a fun beer to me! While the results of this hop were not as great as I initially hoped, it certainly satisfied my boredom and renewed my passion into exploring new hops. I would recommend people try this hop as an addition to your favorite session beer, it could certainly lend a unique refreshing character.
Cheers and as always feel free to reach out with any ideas for experimental ingredients to be showcased on Jeef's Corner. Our email address is now on the author's page.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) equips individuals with sustainable skills to actively participate in their health and well-being, leading to an increased ability to manage symptoms of stress, fear, anxiety, and depression.
"Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally."
– Jon Kabat-Zinn
Mindfulness is one form of meditation, both been shown to have physical and mental health benefits.
Some of the results my clients experience with MBSR include:
- Decreased physical and psychological symptoms
- Increased ability to cope with stressful situations
- Coping better with illness and chronic pain
- Improved self-esteem and enthusiasm for life
Ready to get started?
"I connected with Tracy not knowing what coaching was or what I needed. I thought something was wrong with me and that I needed to be fixed. Coaching offered me the opportunity to discover new tools and to access resources I already had, that were free. These new skills, awareness and self-compassion free me, to "show up best" as a mom, wife, and worship leader.
Tracy is present, non-judgemental and compassionate. She empowers and educates using an individualized approach, accountability and action plan that are sustainable and reasonable to incorporate in my daily life. My mindset and identity shifted from Pastors kid, turned Pastor's wife and superhero mother, wearing the mask of "all together" to secure and loving myself, a mom, who happens to be married to a pastor, living my life aware and in the present."

"Excellent staff and treatment but..."
About: Queen Charlotte's Hospital Queen Charlotte's Hospital London W12 0HS
Posted via nhs.uk
What I liked
The staff at Queen Charlotte's in Gynaecological Oncology have always been excellent communicators, explaining what is going on and what the next steps will be.
They have been kind, courteous and supportive, for which I am extraordinarily grateful.
This has made a number of difficult years in my life much less unpleasant than they might have been.
A number of sthe staff have gone above and beyond what is required of them, again, which I am extraordinarily grateful.
What could be improved
The administration for the issuing of letters is awful. It takes weeks for letters to be sent out with results, with my record being a letter dated a month before it arrived. I believe that this is a result of inadequate processes being in place to handle administration as when I have called to have letters faxed to my gp the staff have been extraordinarily helpful.
I have also had a number of issues in communicating with staff over the phone who have not been able to understand what I was asking and gave me incorrect information. I should add that they were as helpful as they could be and were supportive, but I suspect we had something of a language barrier.
Overall my advice to the hospital would be to review administrative processes to increase efficiency which would benefit both the hospital and the patients.

Sloane Siegel, Chandler Kinney, and David Bloom meet with fans of their Amazon series Gortimer Gibbon's Life on Normal Street during a special screening last week at the El Nido Family Center in Pacoima, Calif.
The trio was joined by Amazon Studios senior production manager Ken Lipman, co-executive producer and writer Laurie Parres, and set costumer Daisy Sylbert-Torres.
"We're here to support the great things that El Nido is doing and show the kids that it is possible to achieve your dreams whether that's acting or something else," David said. "We showed an episode of our show and answered questions about the acting process. Hopefully we inspired them to do what they love."
Chandler said, "Today we brought kids at El Nido blankets and bags with socks and all kinds of fun stuff! We made so many blankets while filming this last season. It was an important project for us and it was really cool to be able to give them to these kids."
Gortimer Gibbon's Life on Normal Street returns this summer!

Threadville Mysteries by Janet Bolin
To me, the term "knitted brow" conjures up rather painful images involving foreheads and knitting needles.
Then I saw the cover of the large print version of SEVEN THREADLY SINS by Janet Bolin, and I had to read the book.
Imagine my shock to discover that SEVEN THREADLY SINS features me, my daughter, and our friends in our little village known as Threadville. It tells about how we found the clues and evidence and put them together to finger the murderer of that rather horrible man, Antonio, who called himself a fashion designer and accused my daughter and friends of committing "threadly" sins. Of all the nerve! And then, speaking of nerve, since I was near the appalling man, and I had my arm upraised when he collapsed, the police actually considered that I might have hit him. I assure you that I did not touch him. Shh--don't tell anyone, but I would have smacked him, and for a very good reason, if he hadn't fallen down before my hand could connect.
And then I discovered that there are five mysteries taking place in Threadville. Well, I knew about the murders, and how my friends helped solve them, but I didn't realize that this Janet Bolin had written and published stories about the murders, and about us. It's enough to make one, well, knit one's brow.
I spin and weave, but I do sometimes pick up knitting needles, and when I saw the covers of the two books that I'm in (I didn't show up in Threadville until after three mystries had been solved), my first thought was that the cover artist had cleverly provided me with knitting patterns.
I couldn't resist the skull with the bow. Yes, it is a little creepy...
The Argyle pattern where skulls replace some of the diamonds makes me laugh, and I suppose I might try that one, too. Wouldn't socks be amusing?
Do you knit, or merely knit your brow? If you knit, do you ever find patterns in unlikely places, like on the covers of books?
The Threadville Mysteries are available as paperbacks, e-books, and in large print. Find booksellers here.
Read excerpts here.
Connect with Janet on facebook and twitter.
Happy reading, and happy knitting!

Long-awaited electric supercar, the Venturi Fetish, made its public debut in a symbolic alternative-fuel rally from Kyoto (as in the environmental protocol) to the Aichi Expo in Japan. While its supercar status owes more to its $600,000 price tag than its performance (241hp, top speed 105mph), a carbon-fiber body and innovative electromechanicals put it squarely on the high side of high-tech.
During the 180km rally, several drivers took a turn at the $660,000 fetish, number 16 from the company's production facility in Monte Carlo (c'mon, where else would you build it, Gstaad?), including Michelin Group CEO, Edouard Michelin, Venturi Automobiles CEO Gildo Pallanca-Pastor and Japanese LeMans winner, Masanori Sekiya.

Sleeplessly, I had to leave the morning after the election and couldn't get my internet connection to work in the hotel Delta Centre Ville in Montreal.
SHEEZ, my Canadian cousins (Mom is an Acadian from Nova Scotia) are totally wacked out by our glorious elections. Everywhere I went, as soon as they found out I was an American I heard expressions of incredulity and outrage. The entire Socialist world is angry and upset at us "stupid" Americans.
However, being half French Canadian and a certified lover of that delightful country, I found myself being much kinder than I would be with my American Lefty friends.
I took the position in my responses that they couldn't think any differently given that their news sources are so totally and completely slanted against Republicans and all other non-socialists. They are basically ignorant of how the US really works and how we are so much more successful than they are in every measurable way.
Because of our Republican Party we -
1 - have much better health care than they do,
2 - have 50% higher disposable income per capita on average than they do,
3 - have twice the living space per capita than they do,
4 - are much more entrepreneurial than they are
5 - and, most importantly, we are a much more high achieving population than the under-achievers in Canada and Socialist Europe.
Is there any wonder that the Socialist dominated media in America, Canada and Europe can't afford to tell the truth and thus condemn their readers to a life of ignorance, relative poverty and spiritual emptiness?
Pity the fools, for they are blind to reality.

D-DayJun-05, 2016
What Does D-in-Day Mean?
The terms D-Day and H-Hour are used for the day and hour on which a battle or operation is to be initiated. These terms are designated for day and hour for an operation when the actual day and hour have not yet been determined or announced. When used in combination with figures and plus or minus signs, these terms indicate the length of time prior or following a specific action. Thus, H-3 means 3 hours before H-hour, and D+3 means 3 days after D-day. H+75 minutes means H-hour plus 1 hour and 15 minutes.
As per the United States Army's Center of Military History, the initially known use of these terms is in Field Order Number 9, First Army, and American Expeditionary Forces. It is actually dated September 7, 1918: "The first Army will attack at H hour on D day with the object of forcing the migration of the St. Mihiel Salient." D-Day for the invasion of Normandy was set for June 5, 1944, but it actually occurred on June 6. Thus, D-Day, as it applies to Overlord, is June 6, 1944.
The Operation Overload
It is hard to imagine the epic scope of this vital battle that shadowed out the dream of Hitler's Nazi domination. On June 6, 1944, more than 160,000 Allied troops landed along with a 50- mile stretch of heavily- prepared French coastline, to fight the Nazi domination on the beaches of Normandy, France. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower called this battle a cause in which, "we will accept nothing less than full victory."
More than 5,000 Ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day attack, and by day's end, the Allies gained a foot-hold in Continental Europe. The cost in lives on D-Day was very high as 9,000 and more Allied Soldiers were killed and wounded, but their sacrifice allowed 100,000 more Soldiers to begin the slow, hard plod across Europe, to defeat Adolf Hitler's crack troops. But the battle for Normandy was far from over.
Return to Normandy
Twenty days into the operational overload the Allies had advanced only a dozen miles inland. But by July, the getaway from Normandy had begun. Troops fought the battle among the fields and captured St. Lo; by month's end, the troops were at the edge of Brittany. By August, Brittany was in Allied hands, and it was on to Paris, which was liberated on Aug. 25. However, the Allied advance suffered a hold-up in the Netherlands during Operation Market Garden and caught up in December at the legendary Battle of the Bulge.
On March 7, 1945, the U.S. 9th Armored Division captured the bridge at Remagen, Germany, and by that month's end all of the Rhine was in Allied hands, then the march across Germany had begun. Just a little more than eleven months later on May 9, 1945, after the D-Day, the Nazis surrendered.
Now, seven decades later, renowned by still-thankful French residents, the D-Day veterans, along with their families and friends, and with tourists will go to the invasion beaches of Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword to commemorate the Allies' efforts and sacrifices.
The D-Day Invasion
D-Day in the United States is observed in memory of the Normandy landings in France on June 6, 1944, the battle in which American soldiers and other Allied forces fought to end World War II in Europe.
Public Life
The D-Day is an observance and not a federal holiday in the United States.
What Do People Do?
On this day, people visit to some museums and war memorials which host exhibitions featuring photos and film as an honor to soldiers who were part of the Normandy landings. D-Day memorials and ceremonies are also held to memorize these soldiers.
The first assault groups to land on D-Day at Omaha Beach was the Company E, 16th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division.; Center for Military History, U.S. Army. U.S. Army.

Center of Europe next to Rakhiv
Ten kilometers south from Rakhiv on the right bank of the Tisza there is a point – the result of important measurements of Imperial and Royal Military Geographic Institute (Austria-Hungary was engaged in surveying). In this case it is the so-called old memorial (the ancient label), the location of which was precisely measured on bedrock in 1887. Silver-shiny modern monument of local artist Stephen Kozurak is decorated by "center of Europe", which may be in elsewhere – depending on how you define the European boundaries.
In the village Dilove of Rakhiv rural district of Transcarpathia there is the geographical center of Europe. 1887 there was installed stone column on which it was written in Latin: "Permanent, precise, eternal place. Very accurate, with a special device, manufactured in Austria-Hungary, on a scale of meridians and parallels, set the center of Europe. Year 1887″.
The village is located 190 km from Uzhgorod and 140 miles from Ivano-Frankivsk. From Uzhgorod minibuses go here 10 times a day. The first run is from the bus station – at 6.30, the last – at 14.20. Length of trip is 5.5 hours.
Dilove is located 50 meters from the Ukrainian-Romanian border. On the opposite bank of the river Tisza – Romanian village Vyshivska Valley of Sighet district. Residents of the two neighboring countries overlap with each other across the river.
– Before the war, the village was called Trybushany – says village head of Dilove Lyudmila Romaniuk – Because there lived three brothers Bushans. And it was later named Dilove because the village was inhabited by business people.
In the nineteenth century in Trybushany there was mined iron ore in the rocks of the mountain Dovharun. Medieval tunnels survived until now. In 1861 Kalman Kagan, a Jew of Romanian town Sighet, also built a glass-blowing factory. There arrived Poles, Czechs, Germans, Slovaks and Italians. They made railway line in the mountains for the Austro-Hungarian.
Engineers have calculated that it must be near Trybushany there is the center of Europe. Scientists of Viennese imperial-royal Academy of Sciences confirmed that there is an overlap of imaginary lines between Lisbon and the Urals, the Caucasus and the North Sea, the Franz Josef Land and the Bosphorus.
Approximately two-meter column is located aside of the road Mukachevo-Rohatyn. It is always full of tourists. Brides and grooms from nearby villages come here to photograph. Nearby there is a museum-inn. There tourists stop to have lunch with Hutsul dishes. The owner of the establishment Vasil Chorbane collected hundreds of old irons, keys, cups and clothes. Near the hotel is being built. For now tourists staying overnight at 18 km – in the rural center Rakhiv or 8 km – village Kostylivka where there are several rural green estates.
Ludmila Romaniuk says that Census of 1935 in Center of Europe there lived 1000 Ukrainians, almost 300 Jews, 200 Hungarians, 60 Czechs and 70 people of other nationalities. The descendants of foreigners – Koradini, Manfredi, Montehloni, Bizi – live here now as well.
The village has four churches. There is also a wooden church of the Dormition of the Virgin, built in 1750. Farmers have gathered money and recently updated frontage. In Dilove there is a marble quarry.
– Kiev Metro was decorated by facing slabs of it. And the crumb of it was used in 1986 on Chornobyl NPP when there was an accident. Marble absorbs radionuclides.
In the middle of the last century in the tract Saulyak near Dilove a Russian geologist Hlynomedov found gold. The deposit is being develop by British and Australians.
– This is the largest gold vein in Ukraine – Larissa shows Street. Mark Barabolya leading to gold mine. – In a month geologists are going to open a processing factory.
The village has a bakery, where bread is baked on the coals, two pharmacies, a branch of the Savings Bank, frontier, clinic and forestry. Here begins walking and car tours to Mount Pip Ivan. Before you go to the mountains, you need to join in frontier because after the mountain it is Romanian territory. On the opposite bank of the Tisza there is a Romanian village Bystryi. Both settlements soon will be connected by bridge. Romanians are building it.

R&R or ER? Paws Full of Pine Pitch
By Jessica
Posted in: Pets
Changing of seasons bring a whole new set of issues for pet owners. Recently my dog Brisket was incessantly licking his front paw. When I inspected his paw it was apparent that he had gotten pine pitch stuck between his pads. If your dog is anything like mine, adventurous and one for traveling off the beaten path, you are familiar with how many things can get stuck in their paws. This wasn't the first time he had stepped in pine pitch but it was the first time it has caused a sore to develop. I asked a Vet Tech on JustAnswer if this was something I could treat on my own or if I needed to take him to the Vet for additional assistance. Candy told me Brisket could have caused the sore in the process of trying to lick or gnaw off any remaining pine pitch. She recommended I shave around the wound, if possible, and clean twice daily with a wound scrub (think Betadine) diluted with water until it reaches the color of tea. I followed this with an application of an antibiotic ointment such as Neosporin, as directed. I had to prevent Brisket from licking his paw either by strict observation, boot or cone. She told me if the sore got worse or it showed no sign of improvement after 3 days I should bring him to the vet.
Luckily, Brisket's paw was fully healed in three days so the at-home treatment was a success not only for Brisket but also my wallet.
Expert Verdict: A little R&R was all we needed but always a good idea to keep your eyes open and your Vet's number handy.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A South African court has dealt a legal blow to President Jacob Zuma, opening the way to reinstating hundreds of corruption charges against him.
The Supreme Court of Appeal on Friday upheld a lower court's ruling that a 2009 decision by state prosecutors to drop 783 charges of corruption and fraud against Zuma was irrational.
Zuma, who has faced calls for his resignation because of a series of scandals, had appealed the lower court's ruling.
The Supreme Court of Appeal says the hundreds of corruption charges against Zuma were initially instituted in 2005 before he became president and after former business partner Shabir Shaik was convicted of fraud and corruption.
The allegations against Zuma have hurt the ruling African National Congress.

What's the cost of Accutane on average? Is it covered?
How much does a lower dose, 4-5 month treatment Accutane treatment cost on average? Does anyone have any experience making an insurance claim on their treatment? If so, were the costs paid in full?
Sorry you are dealing with stubborn acne! I had to endure it as a teenager and then later as an adult and now my son is dealing with it. I was very lucky when mine responded to a retinoid cream, but unfortunately, my son's was much more severe and we had to try everything before finally realizing that Accutane was likely the best option for him.
Unfortunately, even generic Accutane is pretty expensive, even for low doses. Without insurance, it can cost $350-$400 a month. However, thankfully, our health insurance plan covers most of the cost of my son's medication, and we just have to pay the small co-pay each month.
Our insurance company did not give us a hassle about covering the cost of it, thankfully. Since my son had tried pretty much every other treatment before his dermatologist prescribed it, they covered it. Good luck with whatever acne treatment you choose!
It really depends on your prescription insurance coverage but most insurance companies do cover Accutane if your dermatologist diagnoses you with severe or chronic acne. Basically, even if your acne isn't terrible, if you've had it for longer than year, your dermatologist can prescribe Accutane and your insurance should cover it. Usually the price is around $35-$70 with insurance coverage. Without insurance, a month's supply can be anywhere from $300-$600! There's also a patient assistance program that pays for a portion of the prescription if you don't have prescription insurance. Your best bet is to call your insurance company and see how much it will cost. Another thing to consider is the price of dermatologist appointments and lab work every month (you have to get lab work done monthly to make sure your liver isn't being damaged by Accutane.) Those are usually covered by insurance as well but it's a good idea to figure out how much the treatment will cost as a whole.
It's common to hear about people paying as much as $300 for a one-month supply of 30 or 40 mg Accutane, and prices may go even higher at some pharmacies. Keep in mind that Accutane is prescribed for severe cystic acne, and most patients receive this treatment only after many over-the-counter treatments fail to deliver satisfying results. It's considered a last resort, so you may have to jump through some hoops before your doctor will prescribe the medication for you.
Most insurance plans will cover Accutane when it's prescribed for severe acne that doesn't respond to other treatment options. If your insurance company denies coverage, you can often submit documentation from your doctor stating the severity of your condition and the reasons that you need this treatment to clear your acne. This is often enough to secure approval for Accutane coverage. How much of the cost your insurance covers will depend on the terms of your policy. In many cases, you just have to pay your usual copay for prescription medications.
The cost of Accutane will depend on if you have insurance. If you don't, it'll run you as high as $1719/mo at a pharmacy like Walgreens. You can get a coupon online though from GoodRX or SingleCare, and that should drive the cost down to around $402. I would also recommend going to CVS or Costco, which in my experience are cheaper pharmacies than Walgreens. If you do have insurance, you could pay as little as $5-10 per month for an Accutane prescription.

What A Difference A Day Makes: Canucks Bury Flames…
After what must have felt like a week from hell – four straight losses, Roberto Luongo yanked in consecutive games, Brendan Morrison injured (and out for the season) and outscored 14-7 in those same four games – the Canucks came out looking like men on a mission in their game against Northwest Division rivals the Calgary Flames Sunday night. It was in stark contrast to their disinterested play of late.
It's become a cliche to call every single Canucks game a "must-win", however there are few other phrases that do justice to the magnitude of Sunday's tilt: the Canucks had nonchalantly dropped into ninth spot in the Western Conference with just four games remaining, all against Northwest Division teams. With five games remaining, I'd speculated they'd need to win three, but more probably four, of their final five games; they promptly lost the first one 4-0 to the Minnesota Wild. Now, with four left, they were up against a team which had out worked, out shot, out muscled and out scored them just five days prior (a 3-2 loss in which the Canucks blew a first period 2-0 lead).
This time, Calgary got the early lead on a goal by David Moss – just his third in 38 games – at the 1:13 mark of the first period. Moss, parked in front of the net, tipped a slap shot by Wayne Primeau past Roberto Luongo. The Canucks, however, got that one back when Sami Salo let go one of his patented cannon shots from the point, tying it up at the 11:54 mark with his eighth. That goal came on the power play, after the Flames were called for too many men on the ice.
The Flames weren't done yet. With a minute and eight seconds left in the first period, Matthew Lombardi scored his 14th of the season with Roberto Luongo down and scrambling to regain his stick. Luongo had lost his stick after a collision with a Flame in the crease, and was facing the back of the net when the puck came out front to Lombardi. Lombardi's goal came on a Flames power play, after Byron Ritchie was assessed two minutes for slashing. It looked as though the Canucks would enter the dressing room down a goal, however Marcus Naslund, with his 25th goal, once again drew the Canucks into a tie after potting the rebound of a two-on-one break for the Canucks. That goal came with just 39 seconds left, and only 29 seconds after Calgary had regained the lead. Shots on goal for the period were essentially even, with the Flames holding a slight 9-8 edge on the Canucks.
In the second period, a period during which the Canucks have severely struggled of late, Vancouver took over the game and never looked back. Hometown hero Trevor Linden, left open in front of Miikka Kiprusoff, took a feed from Byron Ritchie and lifted the puck over a sprawling Kiprusoff for his sixth of the season at the 1:53 mark. Linden, however, wasn't done for the night. Just under five minutes later, the former Canucks' captain found a rebound to Kiprusoff's right and buried the puck in the net. Linden's seventh of the season came at the 6:49 mark and was enough to drive Kiprusoff from the net in favour of Curtis Joseph. Miikka Kiprusoff let in four goals on just 13 shots, a very un-Kiprusoff-like 0.692 save percentage on the night. Joseph didn't fare much better.
12:16 into the second period, Matt Pettinger scored his sixth of the season, showing some great hands in flipping the puck into the top of the net while in tight to the goal, with Joseph leaving very little room. The Canucks entered the dressing room up 5-2 after two periods. Shots were 15-8 in favour of the Canucks.
Vancouver started the third period in much the same way they'd started the second: with a quick goal, this time Brad Isbister with his sixth of the season on a quick shot from the half boards at the 0:52 mark. It was a shot Joseph should have had. The Canucks spent the better part of the rest of the third period trying valiantly to set Trevor Linden up for the hat trick, a feat that would have sent the home town crowd nuts (OK, they were already nuts after a rare, dominant display by Vancouver; they'd have gotten "nuts-ier"…).
Roberto Luongo played a great game, stopping Jerome Iginla on a partial breakaway, Adrian Aucoin with a hard shot from the slot after a great feed from Iginla and a spectacular save at the right side of his net during which the puck bounced up off his right leg pad, landed atop the pad as Luongo went down flat on his back and then somehow stayed out of the net. While the crowd waited to see if the puck had gone in, Luongo, after some moments, casually lifted his blocker hand off the ice to disclose the puck, half a foot outside the goal line. Roberto Luongo looked like he is back in form after successive very, very shaky outings (games, it should be noted, which framed the birth of his first child).
Also solid for the Vancouver Canucks were Kevin Bieksa, finishing the night with three assists and 25:01 of ice time, and Henrik Sedin, who finished with two assists. For the Flames, Jerome Iginla played a solid game with a single assist, some good hits and the aforementioned partial breakaway, however Alex Burrows clearly got under Iginla's skin, as could be seen late in the game when Iginla gave Burrows a punch to the back of the head followed by a jab to Burrows' face.
The Canucks played the most complete game they've played in a long, long time and showed grit and resolve in coming back from behind twice. Even the captain, Marcus Naslund, got into the act, scoring a goal and laying a heavy hit (Naslund, hitting?!?) on Jerome Iginla (Naslund hitting Jerome Iginla?!?) deep in Vancouver's zone in the first period. When Naslund is engaged the whole team plays better hockey.
The win moves Vancouver back into eighth place in the Western Conference, one point up on Nashville, two points behind the Calgary Flames.
Next up: the Colorado Avalanche, Tuesday April 1, 7pm in Vancouver. TV: SNP; HD: Yes.

New York Sports Clubs are opening their facilities to all Hurricane Sandy victims who may need a "stress-relieving workout" or just a plain old hot shower.
Free access to the health club chain will officially end on Nov. 14, but at the club in Butler, the promotion will continue "until everyone is back on their feet," said club employee Sara Webb.
"Our employees still have no power, so we know how it feels," Webb said. "We're opening our doors to the public so they can feel healthy in their bodies. We're trying to help everybody in the community."
With showers clearly a priority for the thousands of people lacking running water in their homes, Webb urged residents to "call in advance" to let the club know they're coming. Others may just walk in to the facility at 1481 Route 23.
Charging of cell phones is another free service being offered. Christine Denham, a spokeswoman for the chain, said people taking showers should bring their own towels.
Free access is available at all health club facilities that are open, Denham said. Some facilities – such as the chain's two locations in flooded Hoboken – have not yet reopened, she pointed out.
New York Sports Clubs in New Jersey that are open and offering free access include those in Livingston, Montclair, West Caldwell, Westwood, Colonia, East Brunswick and Somerset, as well as Butler.
Denham urged people to find the club closest to them and get the latest information on which clubs are open at the chain's website, www.mysportsclubs.com.

With Christmas just around the corner, its time for us to relax after a busy year, spend time with the family and see friends. You can't beat that 'full' feeling you get after a roast dinner and about 50 mince pies. However it is good to also know some facts to ensure that Christmas for your pet is stress free and fun as well.
During the Festive period chocolate is often around the house, whether it is for family members or a nice treat for yourself. But chocolate is poisonous for pets and is one of the commonest poisonings that vets see. Chocolate contains a powerful stimulant called theobromine that animals cannot cope with. Vets often see pets with tremors, diarrhoea and fitting as a result of digesting even a small amount of chocolate given as a treat.
There is nothing that makes us feel more Christmassy that when the tree goes up, complete with decorations, lights and too much tinsel. Your cat would probably agree with you as they can become fascinated with your tree.
Sometimes cats have become poorly as they venture inside the tree and eat the decorations or even become entangled in the lights. A good way to distract your pets is getting them a new toy to play with to keep their attention away from the tree.
Christmas dinner is one of the best things about Christmas but this does not mean that your pet can indulge in the tradition. Sometimes, as a result of eating Stuffing or Christmas pudding your pet can get an upset stomach – a trip to the vets on Boxing Day is the last thing that anybody wants!
We would like to wish you and your pet a Happy and Healthy Christmas and hope that you have a relaxing break.

Christian Porter describes himself as a simple "t-shirt and jeans kind of guy," and his modesty is evident. When I told him my five year-old daughter walks around the house singing "Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle" while listening to his blind audition performance for the NBC show, The Voice, he blushed and flashed a shy smile. "I have the best job in the world," he said. "Music is universal. I can speak to anyone of any age or in any country through music."
When it comes to speaking, he was a late bloomer. At the age of three Christian still wasn't talking. Finally, he began humming to music when he was four. "I sang before I spoke. It started with shows like Barney, and then my parents started putting more music on TV. My mom said I instantly preferred watching Elton John."
Christian celebrated his sixteenth birthday at the local Sarah Street Grill, where he was already a paid performer. "In high school I didn't have many friends because I was always 'that weird musician kid.' I was shy, and the stage was always the place I could let go."
This year, he became a local celebrity and turned twenty-one while in Los Angeles as a contestant on The Voice. His song choice was an acoustic rendition of LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It". "I know I took a chance with that song, but above all I wanted to go out There and Just Have Fun." Christian said he had a cold the day of the audition. "At that moment I was glad I didn't choose a different song that relied more on voice and pitch versus attitude because it would've sounded nasally."
The risk was rewarded with a chance to show the world his talent, and feverish excitement swept over Monroe County when three judges turned their chairs. Billboards congratulated him, t-shirts were printed, the show was aired at local bars where people crammed into local bars to watch, and his music climbed toward the top of the iTunes pop charts. "I want to thank everyone for such incredible support," Christian said. "I feel fortunate. People who live in major cities find it hard to get exposure because there are so many other things going on. I grew up here, and no matter where music takes me, I will always love this town. No matter how much I travel, this will always be home."
Christian said he chose Blake Shelton as his coach because he felt they had a singer/songwriter connection. Before The Voice, Christian never had personal vocal lessons and describes his experience with Blake and Sheryl Crow as "awesome." "Sheryl was very helpful technically and vocally. It wasn't just TV; she really did her job."
Christian was knocked out of the contest during the battle rounds, but he says there is no room for regrets. "I may not have impressed Blake enough to continue, but I impressed the world, and that's enough for me." Christian has also found a new network of people who share his goals, dreams, and serious passion for music. "They're lifelong friendships, and we're in constant contact," he says. "We goofed off and had fun in LA together, but then when it was time to perform, it was serious."
Recently, Christian used his talent to support various charity efforts. In the future, he looks forward to headlining his own shows at larger venues and also hopes to open for well-known artists on tour.

With a programme highlighting the Middle East's growing clean energy investment opportunities, the World Future Energy Summit (WFES)provides participants with as an unmatched platform to meet with key international players from industry, technology, finance and government to drive actionable solutions to the world's energy challenges, according to industry leaders.
Now in its eighth year, WFES takes place during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW), January 17-24, which is expected to attract more than 32,000 people from 170 countries. Hosted by Masdar, Abu Dhabi's renewable energy company, the ADSW is a yearly platform that addresses the interconnected challenges of energy and water security, climate risk and sustainable development.
"WFES has proven to be the most important energy conference in the Middle East for cultivating sustainable energy solutions that help countries to lower their carbon footprints," said a representative of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company ( ADNOC ), a principal sponsor of WFES.
Last year, ADNOC launched a unique carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) joint venture with Masdar , Abu Dhabi's renewable energy company. The joint venture, "Al Reyadah," will capture CO2 from the UAE's largest steelmaker and transfer it to oil fields operated by ADNOC , where it will be used to enhance oil recovery and ultimately be stored underground.
"WFES generates collaboration among industry leaders to encourage the commercialisation of energy-efficient projects throughout the region," the ADNOC representative added.
The value of WFES extends beyond the MENA region, as a panel on the energy opportunities in Sub-Saharan Africa will demonstrate. Maria van der Hoeven, executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA) who will chair the panel, said, "WFES is a platform to stimulate progress in helping the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa realise their goals in sustainable energy. As an event that brings together the world's leading minds to discuss and implement innovative energy solutions, WFES is an event with far-reaching international significance." Sami Khoreibi, CEO of UAE-based solar developer Enviromena Power Systems, which has been part of WFES since the first edition in 2008, agreed. "WFES is the most important show in the region for meeting with partners, investors, and governments from all across the region and the globe, and to get an upfront look at the innovations driving renewable energy at both the project and technology levels.
The fact that WFES has been the site of numerous project launches over the years is proof of this event's tremendously powerful role in accelerating the industry's development." The large solar turnout for WFES 2015 also will include U.S.-based First Solar, which has more than 8 gigawatts of installed capacity globally. Ahmed S. Nada, Vice President for the Middle East, said, "First Solar has been a long standing partner of the World Future Energy Summit and we are looking forward to its 2015 edition. From past experience, the Summit and its exhibition provide an excellent platform to showcase our solutions, spotlight our expertise and thought leadership, and connect with our collaborators." Carmelo Scalone, executive vice president for New Business Development of EDF Energies Nouvelles, agreed: "WFES provides the opportunity to exchange views with the major players of the industry and to anticipate the future developments in technology, regulation and policies." Wind energy is another sector with tremendous growth potential that will be in focus at WFES. Steve Sawyer, secretary general of the Global Wind Energy Council and a panelist in a WFES discussion on local content requirements for stimulating energy industry growth, observed: "WFES is a unique gathering, bringing together an eclectic selection of the key players in the industry with policymakers from the region and globally. As it coincides with the IRENA General Assembly, it has become a key event on the circuit for anyone serious about the global renewable energy industry."
Hosted by Masdar, WFES also receives support from ADNOC and Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA). In addition to WFES, Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week will feature the third International Water Summit, the second edition of EcoWASTE, and the seventh Zayed Future Energy Prize Award Ceremony as well as the Fifth General Assembly of the International Renewable Energy Agency.
