A resolution was passed unanimously by the UN Security Council on Saturday, the day before Christmas eve, imposing sanctions-lite on Iran for pursuingÂ attempts to produce industrial-scale quantities of enriched uranium.
The current Iranian administrationÂ has made its efforts to produce its own enriched uranium a matter of national pride.Â Iranians in an out of government say that, since the 1979 Islamic Revolution which caused the Shah to flee into exile, the country hasÂ been subjected to sanctions and international isolation — as well as a devastating 8-year war with Iraq, and that they simply cannot rely on any outside source of the enriched uranium they say will be needed to fuel the country’s planned production of nuclear energy.Â
The problem is that enriching uranium for use in nuclear power plants is essentially the same process as enriching uranium for use in nuclear weapons.Â Iran says admantly that it is not pursuing, and will not make, nuclear weapons.Â But some other countries — led by the United States — are convinced that Iran has a secret nuclear weapons program.
Iran, under the Shah, signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which prohibits the development of weapons, in exchange for facilitated access to nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.Â Iranian officials now say that this means they have the right to pursue their own uranium enrichment program.Â But American officials argue that, even under the NPT, Â there is no “right to enrich”.
The resolution that was adopted in the UN Security Council on Saturday was negotiated for four long months.Â
The NY Times reported Saturday that “For years, some officials within the American government have pressed for the Security Council to adopt sanctions to halt Tehranâ€™s nuclear pursuits.Â Â In June, the five permanent Security Council members plus Germany offered Iran a package of economic and political incentives to halt its nuclear program. The offer was rejected, setting the stage for the Aug. 31 deadline and, ultimately, the sanctions resolution.”Â The NY Times story said that “In an effort to maintain their sometimes fragile coalition, the Americans and Europeans also agreed to eliminate a mandatory travel ban on those people said to be involved in nuclear activities. While older drafts had mandated that all states ‘prevent entry’ of such people, the final version of the resolution simply ‘calls upon’ states to ‘exercise vigilance’ over who crosses their borders.Â In another nod to Russiaâ€™s concerns, the resolution was amended to exclude any sanctions against a nuclear power plant that Russia is building at Bushehr, in southern Iran…
As recently as Friday morning, Russiaâ€™s ambassador to the United Nations, Vitaly I. Churkin, voiced concerns that the text continued to threaten legitimate business deals.Â Mr. Churkin maintained that the resolution was intended to prod Iran to negotiate, not punish it. Several small 11th-hour revisions, however, allayed Moscowâ€™s concerns.” http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/24/world/24nations.html
The BBC World Service reported that “The resolution, under Chapter Seven of Article 41 of the UN Charter, makes enforcement obligatory but limits action to non-military measures…But acting US ambassador to the UN, Alejandro Wolff, said the resolution sent a strong warning that there would be serious repercussions to Iran’s continued defiance of the international community.
‘Today we are placing Iran in the small category of states under Security Council sanctions,’ Mr Wolff said.Â ‘If necessary, we will not hesitate to return to this body if Iran does not take further steps to comply.’ … Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman, Mohammad Ali Hosseini, condemned the resolution as illegal.Â He told state-run television that the decision ‘cannot affect or limit Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities but will discredit the decisions of the Security Council, whose power is deteriorating.’Â Â The resolution, which demands that Tehran end all uranium enrichment work – which can produce fuel for nuclear plants as well as bombs – was the result of months of protracted negotiations…In a statement before the Security Council, Russia’s ambassador to the UN, Vitaly Churkin, emphasised that the resolution did not authorise the use of force.Â But he said the sanctions sent a “strong message” to Iran about the need to comply with the UN’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).Â The resolution demands that Tehran end all uranium enrichment work, which can produce fuel for nuclear plants as well as for bombs.Â BBC – http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6205295.stm
An Associated Press (AP) story, which was published in the Jerusalem Post,Â reported that “Russia’s UN Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said Moscow voted ‘yes’ because it wants to send ‘a serious message’ to Iran ‘to lift remaining concerns over its nuclear program.’Â He stressed that the goal must be to resume talks. If Iran suspends enrichment and reprocessing, the resolution calls for a suspension of sanctions ‘which would pave the way for a negotiated solution,’ Churkin said. Israel praised the UN Security Council’s decision to impose sanction on Iran, saying it’s an important step toward preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.Â Israel considers Iran the biggest threat to its existence, and has repeatedly called for tougher action against its foe…Israeli officials welcomed the Security Council’s decision. Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said it sends ‘a clear message to the Iranian leadership that Iran’s nuclear program is total unacceptable and the community of nations will act to prevent the Iranian regime from obtaining nuclear weapons.’Â Â Israel’s Defense Ministry said the international community ‘will need to continue to show determination to reach the goal of blocking Iran’s nuclear plan.’Â If Iran refuses to comply, the resolution warns Iran that the council will adopt further non-military sanctions…Qatar’s UN Ambassador Nassir Al-Nassir, the only Arab member of the council and its current president, was the last to make his country’s intentions known, telling members just before the vote that Qatar would vote yes ‘because we are concerned about the safety of Iranian nuclear facilities.’Â Â … The resolution authorizes action under Article 41 of Chapter 7 of the UN Charter. It allows the Security Council to impose nonmilitary sanctions such as completely or partially severing diplomatic and economic relations, transportation and communications links.Â If Iran fails to comply with the resolution, the draft says the council will adopt ‘further appropriate measures’ under Article 41.Â During negotiations, a mandatory travel ban was dropped at Russia’s insistence.Â Instead, the resolution calls on all states ‘to exercise vigilance’ regarding the entry or transit through their territory of those on a UN list that names 12 top Iranians involved in the country’s nuclear and missile programs. It asks the 191 other UN member states to notify a Security Council committee that will be created to monitor sanctions when those Iranians show up in their country.Â The resolution also says the council will review Iran’s actions in light of a report from the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, requested within 60 days, on whether Iran has suspended uranium enrichment and complied with other IAEA demands.Â To meet concerns of Russia and China that the original resolution was too broad, it was changed to specify in greater detail exactly what materials and technology would be prohibited from being supplied to Iran and to name those individuals and companies that would be affected’.”
In a later story, AP reported that “In a final attempt to win Russian support, the measure dropped one Iranian company from the list of those facing an asset freeze.”
In another later story, AP added that Iran’s Ambassador to the UN, Javad Zarif, made a statement to the UNÂ Security Council after the vote, tjat was “filled with lists of grievances: allegations of war crimes and nuclear irresponsibility by Israel, Iranian proposals he claims were ignored by the Europeans and Americans, and crimes against Iran he charged were ignored by the Security Council.Â In an emotional moment, Zarif remembered a colleague, Mahdi Vahidi, who recently died from cancer he said was caused by chemical weapons used by IraqÂ against Iran during their 1980-88 war. He said the council, because it failed to take action against Iraq at the time, ‘shouldered responsibility’ for Vihidi’s and others’ deaths.Â Zarif also questioned the sincerity of the Security Council’s claim that it wanted Iran to suspend enrichment in order to build confidence and trust between Iran and the international community. The United States’ ‘stated objective has always been to use the council as an instrument of pressure and intimidation to compel Iran to abandon its rights,’ Zarif said.”
The AP story added, with reporting from Tehran, that “Iran has said it intends to move toward large-scale uranium enrichment involving 3,000 centrifuges by late 2006, and then expand the program to 54,000 centrifuges, which spin uranium gas into enriched material to produce nuclear fuel.Â Iranian nuclear officials say 54,000 centrifuges would produce enough enriched uranium to fuel a 1,000-megawatt reactor, such as the one Iran has built with Russian assistance at Bushehr, southern Iran. The reactor is due to begin operating next year.”
In what must surely be purely coincidental, the UN Security Council action was taken a day after a U.S.Â federal judge ruledÂ “that Iran is responsible for the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing and ordered that the government pay $254 million to the families of 17 Americans who died in the attack in Saudi Arabia…U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth’s ruling yesterday was the first time an American court found that Iranian government agencies and senior ministers financed and directed the bombing by a militant Saudi wing of the Islamist terrorist group Hezbollah.Â ‘The totality of the evidence at trial . . . firmly establishes that the Khobar Towers bombing was planned, funded, and sponsored by senior leadership in the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran,’ Lamberth wrote. ‘The defendants’ conduct in facilitating, financing, and providing material support to bring about this attack was intentional, extreme, and outrageous.’Â Lamberth’s decision in the lawsuit, which was filed in 2002 by the families of 17 victims, reverses a lower magistrate judge who said evidence linking the Iranian government to the bombing was not convincing.
Lamberth said the leading experts on Hezbollah, a Shiite militant group based in Lebanon, presented ‘overwhelming’ evidence that the Iranian military worked with Saudi Hezbollah members to execute the attack, and the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security provided money, plans and maps to help carry out the bombing. Six Hezbollah members captured after the attacks implicated Iranian officials.Â Â http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/22/AR2006122200455.html
Two weeks earlier, the Washington Post reported that the list of Iranian individuals and organizations to be included in the UN Security Council resolution was compiled after a junior staff member of the U.S. Department of State was ordered to do a Google Search.Â The Washinton Post article, entitledÂ Seeking Iran Intelligence, U.S. Tries Google – Internet Search Yields Names Cited in U.N. Draft Resolution,Â written by Dafna Linzer, was published on 11 December: “When the State Department recently asked the CIA for names of Iranians who could be sanctioned for their involvement in a clandestine nuclear weapons program, the agency refused, citing a large workload and a desire to protect its sources and tradecraft.Â Frustrated, the State Department assigned a junior Foreign Service officer to find the names another way — by using Google. Those with the most hits under search terms such as ‘Iran and nuclear,’ three officials said, became targets for international rebuke Friday when a sanctions resolution circulated at the United Nations.Â …
None of the 12 Iranians that the State Department eventually singled out for potential bans on international travel and business dealings is believed by the CIA to be directly connected to Iran’s most suspicious nuclear activities.
‘There is nothing that proves involvement in a clandestine weapons program, and there is very little out there at all that even connects people to a clandestine weapons program,’ said one official familiar with the intelligence on Iran. Like others interviewed for this story, the official insisted on anonymity when discussing the use of intelligence.Â What little information there is has been guarded at CIA headquarters. The agency declined to discuss the case in detail, but a senior intelligence official said: ‘There were several factors that made it a complicated and time-consuming request, not the least of which were well-founded concerns’ about revealing the way the CIA gathers intelligence on Iran.Â That may be why the junior State Department officer, who has been with the nonproliferation bureau for only a few months, was put in front of a computer.Â An initial Internet search yielded over 100 names, including dozens of Iranian diplomats who have publicly defended their country’s efforts as intended to produce energy, not bombs, the sources said. The list also included names of Iranians who have spoken with U.N. inspectors or have traveled to Vienna to attend International Atomic Energy Agency meetings about Iran.
It was submitted to the CIA for approval but the agency refused to look up such a large number of people, according to three government sources. Too time-consuming, the intelligence community said, for the CIA’s Iran desk staff of 140 people. The list would need to be pared down. So the State Department cut the list in half and resubmitted the names.Â In the end, the CIA approved a handful of individuals, though none is believed connected to Project 1-11 — Iran’s secret military effort to design a weapons system capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. The names of Project 1-11 staff members have never been released by any government and doing so may have raised questions that the CIA was not willing or fully able to answer. But the agency had no qualms about approving names already publicly available on the Internet…U.S., French and British officials came to agree that it was better to stay away from names that would have to be justified with sensitive information from intelligence programs, and instead put forward names of Iranians whose jobs were publicly connected to the country’s nuclear energy and missile programs. European officials said their governments did not rely on Google searches but came up with nearly identical lists to the one U.S. officials offered…The U.S.-backed draft resolution, formally offered by Britain and France, would impose a travel ban and freeze the assets of 11 institutions and 12 individuals, including the commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, the directors of Iran’s chief nuclear energy facilities, and several people involved in the missile program. It would prohibit the sale of nuclear technologies to Iran and urges states to ‘prevent specialised teaching or training’ of Iranian nationals in disciplines that could further Tehran’s understanding of banned nuclear activities. The text says the council will be prepared to lift the sanctions if Mohamed ElBaradei, the IAEA’s director general, concludes within 60 days that Iran has suspended its enrichment and reprocessing of uranium and has halted efforts to produce a heavy-water nuclear energy reactor.Â Many Security Council members are uneasy about the sanctions. The Russians and the Chinese — whose support is essential for the resolution to be approved — have told the United States, Britain and France they will not support the travel-ban element of the resolution, according to three officials involved in the negotiations. Russia is building a light-water nuclear reactor in Iran and some people on the sanctions list are connected to the project.Â ‘The Russians have already told us it would be demeaning for people to ask the Security Council for permission to travel to Russia to discuss an ongoing project,’ a European diplomat said yesterday…” Staff writer Colum Lynch at the United Nations contributed to this report. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/10/AR2006121000959.html

Former Northern Ireland goalkeeper Jim Platt is certain Jack Charlton could have led his first club Middlesbrough to even greater success had he stayed longer.
In a glowing tribute to his former boss, who has died at the age of 85, Platt revealed that an early-season dressing down was the catalyst for Boro to storm to the Second Division title as Charlton restored them to the top flight for the first time in 20 years.
Charlton will always be remembered most for his time in charge of the Republic of Ireland when he led them to a major Finals for the first time in qualifying for the 1988 European Championships before reaching back-to-back World Cups in 1990 and 1994.
The foundations of that success were laid at Middlesbrough with Platt in goal when the Leeds United hero took his first steps in management in the summer of 1973.
Middlesbrough won the old Second Division by a huge 15 points, securing top-flight status by the end of March. A year later they finished seventh in the First Division, just five points behind champions Derby County. But by 1977, Charlton was gone and that is something which Platt regrets.
"Jack took over a good team at Middlesbrough, but he made us into a great team," said Platt. "We murdered the Second Division, winning it by 15 points when it was two points for a win. I think we had it won by Easter.
"We only lost four matches that season and two of them were after we'd already secured promotion."
It was after one of those defeats that Charlton revealed a side that his new players hadn't seen before and, thankfully, given the form they showed after, didn't see again - at least for a while.
"We won our first match at Portsmouth, then lost our first home match of the season against Fulham and that was the first time we saw his temper," said Platt.
"We'd a set-to after the match and then we'd a set-to on the Monday as well. He said, 'You'll do it my way or you won't do it at all' and we went 23 matches unbeaten, so he did something right.
"It was his first managerial job, coming off the back of 700-odd games for Leeds United and a World Cup win, so he was somebody we looked up to.
"He'd a bit of a temper, but he was a fair man. He treated his players with fairness. He should have stayed at Middlesbrough longer, but he said when he came that he believed four years would be long enough. I think he said himself in hindsight he should have stayed longer."

How can I tell without taking the valve off of my co2 tank if it has an anti-siphon tube or not? It has a paintmark on the tank and the valve also if that indicates anything.
09-09-2006, 02:00 PM
I don't think you can. There was no indication on my tank other than the mark to show it was anti-syphoned.
09-09-2006, 02:07 PM
So if it has the paintmark on it does that mean i need to keep the mark up and it won't pickup liquid co2?
09-09-2006, 03:22 PM
If your tank has an anti-syphon in it, then NORMALLY, the mark would indicate "This Side Up." However, if it was installed incorrectly or the joker that painted it meant, "This Side Down," then that's a problem.
I would just drain the tank, then remove the valve and check. That way, you can mark the tank correctly to fit your gun - ie, screwing the tank all the way into your asa. Doesn't take much, you might have to melt the loctite, but it's not that tough to do.
09-10-2006, 02:19 AM
each shop does it differently. the mark either means up or down.
i assume that the lines are matched from the valve to the tank. if not, then it may not be an antisiphon tank.
one way that you could test is to install the tank with the mark up and then down. if either of these positions shows an excess of CO2, then that is where the siphon is pointing down.
09-13-2006, 01:37 PM
hook up an asa on/off hold the bottle level and crack it quickly, ya can tell by the amount of "snow", if you turn it 180 degreees and it doesnt do the same when cracked quickly. if the tube is down it will pull liquid co2 out

The unchecked rise of football’s super agents has had a major impact on the balance of power between players, clubs and governing bodies over the past 20 years, though the influence of the game’s most high-profile dealmakers is set to be clipped.
Depending on your particular point of view, opinion concerning agents can land anywhere between greedy leech-like middlemen to a necessary set of brokers greasing the wheels of football’s money machine, though FIFA’s take on the industry is what counts and football’s chief decision-makers are pushing for change.
In 2021, FIFA announced that it planned to publish a new set of agent regulations in early 2022, despite the threat of legal action from some of the game’s biggest players in the space.
FIFA ready to wage war on agents
FIFA intends to publish its new agent regulations this year despite the threat of legal action from some of football's biggest agents, including Mino Raiola, Jonathan Barnett and Jorge Mendes.
Even though a lengthy courtroom battle is probable, FIFA remain determined to bring greater transparency to transfers, while cutting down on what they view as “excesses” in the financial side of the game, which include as a priority, spiralling agent fees.
FIFA revealed that an eye-watering £377.45m was spent on agent fees generated from international transfers in 2021 alone and that 95.8% of the cash that changed hands was splashed out by clubs in Europe.
Speaking about the proposed changes, FIFA’s chief legal and compliance officer Emilio Garcia Silvero said: “Some agents don't want to consult with FIFA. It shouldn't be perceived that FIFA doesn't consult with agents. At the moment, we have a market that allows $500m to be given to agents but only about $60m (£45.42m) is spent on compensation for training players all over the world. That makes us feel uncomfortable. We cannot accept this imbalance. That is one of the key things we would like to change with the agents' legislation.”
In what is currently a free-market free-for-all, the thought of greater restrictions and control was enough to set knees knocking in agencies across the world.
New agent rules: What’s set to change?
In their attempts to erode the influence of football’s super-agents, FIFA hope to impose a set of financial restrictions on how transfers work.
The new regulations, which were supposed to kick into practice in January 2022, include limiting agent fees to a one-off sum equal to 3% of a player’s annual salary or 10% of the transfer fee to a selling club.
In 2016, one of football’s most famous agents, Mino Raiola, brokered the £89.3m deal that took French midfielder back to Manchester United from Juventus and the Italian businessman reportedly earned £24m for himself as part of the arrangement.
Under the new terms set out by FIFA, Raiola’s cut from a similar deal would now rest at a maximum of £8.93m and though that is still a hefty wedge, it falls way short of the bounty the agent had been able to demand.
The first draft of the new guidelines, which was 33 pages long, was put out for relevant parties to consume and critique, though FIFA, who went hands-off on agent regulation in 2015, look ready to reclaim control in the face of a pushback from those affected.
“The easiest thing for us to do would be nothing, but we would like to be a little bit brave in this area,” Silvero continued. “We are very aware that there are some groups that are not happy with some part of the drafts, but we need to protect football from abuses and speculative practices.
“We have evaluated that by introducing these rules, the minimum standards and ethical standards will rise. The activity of agents might be impacted, due to the cap on commissions, but we don’t see a potential financial impact on the transfer market. Agents add an important value for players and for clubs, I don’t have doubts about this.”
Agents ready to fight fire with fire
As expected, football agents’ response to FIFA’s planned reforms has been as caustic as their nefarious influence on the game as a whole.
The unified voice in the form of The Football Forum (TFF) – a body representing agents established in 2019 with Mino Raiola as president and big-hitters like Jorge Mendes and Jonathan Barnett as VP’s – has unsurprisingly been the loudest.
Claiming that the new rules would “threaten a player’s protection” and not agents' ability to syphon off millions of pounds from the sport, Mino Raiola said: “These regulations are about power and that is clearly what FIFA wants. The Football Forum will be taking the fight to FIFA next year as well as standing up for players’ rights and ensuring that these shocking salary caps are dropped as a matter of urgency.”
Jonathan Barnett, who has Man Utd’s Luke Shaw and Welsh international Gareth Bale among others on his books, also chimed in, saying: “We want to help and bring all agents and players together for the common good. We want to help agents who are less fortunate than us. That’s our main thing. And if there are smaller countries who need our help to fight FIFA, we will put the money there. We’ll underwrite it all.”
“If FIFA insist on doing what they are insisting on doing at the moment, obviously there’s going to be a lot of litigation flying around…..It’s absolutely scandalous that without proper consultation they can write rules that they think will be legal. We’ve got some of the best QCs in England and the best lawyers in Europe so I hope it doesn’t come to it. But if it does, so be it.”
Football’s most influential agents
Set to oversee the summer moves of high-profile pair Paul Pogba and Erling Haaland, Raiola is the most recognizable face in the agent’s industry. With superstars like Marco Verratti, Romelu Lukaku and Gianluigi Donnarumma also on his list of clients, Raoila’s media manipulation and open disrespect of clubs and their figureheads has made him of football’s most despised figures. The Italian likes to make his puppets dance and players in his pocket often engineer moves at his behest.
Portuguese transfer supremo Jorge Mendes likes to shy away from the spotlight more than Raiola, though his influence is just as far-reaching. Mendes has been Cristiano Ronaldo’s long-term advisor, while players like Nicolas Otamendi, Goncalo Guedes, Ruben Neves, Ederson, Bernardo Silva, and James Rodriguez have all had deals administered by Mendes’ agency, GestiFute.
Head honcho at Stellar Group Limited, outspoken dealmaker Barnett, has his fingers in pies across multiple sports, though he is best known for his exploits in football. Barnett was the driving force behind Gareth Bale’s record £86m move from Tottenham to Real Madrid in 2013. England international and Man Utd regular Luke Shaw is one of the biggest names in his current stable of commodities.
While he probably isn’t as well known in the UK as some of his counterparts, Struth is the most prolific purveyor of German talent. Real Madrid star Toni Kroos, Dortmund flier Marco Reus, Bayern's Dayot Upamecano and Chelsea striker Timo Werner are all tied to Struth’s Sports360 GmbH agency based in Koln.

TORONTO — There wasn’t any anger in the Rangers’ locker room after this one. As losses go, this one seemed not so bad. In fact, to hear the Rangers talk about it afterward, they felt as if their effort was one they almost could be proud of.
“That’s a good team. Lot of skill,’’ left wing and alternate captain Chris Kreider said of the Maple Leafs, who beat the Rangers, 5-3, on Saturday night at Scotiabank Arena. “So they capitalized on our mistakes in the third. I mean, we’re right there. Right there the whole night. I think we liked our process.’’
Playing in front of backup goaltender Alexandar Georgiev, who got the start over Henrik Lundqvist, the Rangers kept fighting back every time it looked as if they were about to be knocked out.
They fell behind 1-0 at 2:58 of the first period on a deflection goal by Patrick Marleau but killed back-to-back penalties early in the second and tied the score late in the period on a goal by Neal Pionk.
They fell behind 3-1 early in the third but pulled to within 3-2 on a goal by Kevin Hayes at 6:34.
Then, after falling behind 4-2, they made it 4-3 late in the period on a goal by Kreider before Mitch Marner scored into an empty net for his second goal of the game to secure the victory for the Maple Leafs (24-10-2).
“There were a lot of good things tonight,’’ Rangers coach David Quinn said. He wasn’t happy with some of the mistakes — a lost faceoff and blown coverage that led to one goal, a turnover inside the blue line that led to another — but he liked the fact that his team never stopped driving.
“We make it 4-3 and had chances to tie it,’’ he said. “A lot of good tonight. We’ve just got to keep building on it and moving forward.’’
Kreider, usually one of the more self-critical players in the Rangers’ locker room, said the team played a lot better than it has of late. He said this was the kind of game that the Rangers could take something from, even if they got no points.
“You have to take away the good and learn from the bad,’’ Kreider said. “I think, regardless of the outcome, I think our process and our games continue to improve. Seeing the young guys take tremendous strides every single night. There’s less thinking, more reacting, guys trusting their instincts.
“We’re tilting the ice more than we have been, especially against some pretty good teams, so we’ve just got to continue to do that, continue to work on our game, and I think the results will take care of themselves.’’
The night got off to an inauspicious start when Georgiev was beaten by Marleau’s deflection goal of Morgan Rielly’s left point shot. The shot was going in one direction and Marleau sent it in the other for his 10th goal.
Early in the second period, Adam McQuaid was penalized for holding — and then for cross-checking, as he hit Toronto’s Nazem Kadri, who had bumped Georgiev — and the Rangers were forced to play a man short for four straight minutes. But they killed that off, and later in the period, they tied it on a slap shot by Pionk that beat Toronto goalie Frederik Andersen at 15:00.
Toronto re-took the lead at 1:37 of the third period on a goal by Andreas Johnsson — former Islanders captain John Tavares got one of his two assists on the play — and Rielly scored on a wrist shot from the slot to make it 3-1 at 5:26. But the Rangers fought back and cut it to 3-2 before Marner made 4-2 at 12:53.
Kreider’s tip of Marc Staal’s shot made it 4-3 and gave the Rangers a chance. But the tying goal never came.

Are Shareholder Engagement Rights at Risk?
Tuesday, January 28, 2020
Miller/Howard urges the SEC to reconsider two proposed rules that would limit shareholder engagement rights
Miller/Howard recently wrote a letter urging the SEC to reconsider two proposed rules that would limit the rights of shareholders to engage with company management. We believe:
- The proposed rules would create unnecessary risks for all stakeholders.
- Resolutions filed by a single owner raise issues of interest to larger groups of investors.
- The proposed rules threaten to exclude important proposals that could gain traction over time, and may stifle key reforms.
On November 5, 2019, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed two new rules that would severely limit the rights of shareholders to engage with corporations using the shareholder resolution process over issues with a distinct impact on long-term value:
- S7-23-19 Procedural Requirements and Resubmission Thresholds under Exchange Act Rule 14a-8
- S7-22-19 Amendments to Exemptions from the Proxy Rules for Proxy Voting Advice
During the open comment period, Miller/Howard wrote a letter to Jay Clayton, Chairman of the SEC, urging the SEC to reconsider the proposed rules that would limit the rights of shareholders to engage with company management. We believe:
The proposed rules would create unnecessary risks for all stakeholders.
As long-only investors, we find value for our clients by engaging companies to recognize and mitigate manageable risks – particularly on critical environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. We believe that the proposed rules are unnecessary, and will undermine a corporate engagement process that has been of great value to both companies and investors.
For decades, the shareholder proposal process has served to benefit issuers and proponents alike as an effective, efficient, and valuable tool for corporate management and boards to gain a better understanding of shareholder priorities and concerns. The proposed rule changes will make companies far less accountable to shareholders, stakeholders, and the public at large.
The proposed increase in ownership thresholds will make it difficult for smaller investors to voice important concerns and raise issues of risk to the companies they own. The current ownership threshold of $2,000 ensures that a diversity of voices are heard, not just the biggest players. Small investors have contributed a multitude of now commonplace best practices.
Resolutions filed by a single owner raise issues of interest to larger groups of investors.
Investment managers, such as Miller/Howard, may file a proposal using the shares of a single client who owns a small position in the company – but we do so while representing the interests of all of our clients invested in that company. This constitutes a much larger group than would be suggested by the position of the single owner whose name is on the filing.
According to data compiled by the Sustainable Investments Institute, 187 resolutions on social and environmental topics came to a vote at US companies in the spring of 2019. Many of these were filed by investors with relatively small stakes consistent with the existing filing thresholds. The proposals received an average of 25.6% support (about the same as the average of 25.4% for resolutions of this kind in 2018, and 21.4% in 2017). These numbers demonstrate that proposals of interest to a large portion of a company’s shareholder base can and do originate with smaller individual and institutional investors.1
Excluding this group of shareholders until they have held shares for three continuous years raises serious questions about the equity of the proposal process and leaves smaller investors who can make valuable contributions without access to the proxy.
The proposed increase in ‘resubmission thresholds’ threatens to unnecessarily exclude important proposals that gain traction over time. Additionally, the proposed increase may ultimately stifle key reforms.
There are a number of instances where resolutions that initially received low votes went on to receive significant support or have led to productive engagement, as shareholders came to appreciate the serious risks they presented to companies. Resolutions highlighting human rights risks in global supply chains initially received low votes at companies, but as a result of engagement prompted by the proposals, sector leaders have adopted human rights policies and supplier codes of conduct that help minimize legal, reputational, and financial risks. Clearly these and other votes on critical matters signify that investors appreciate the value of the issues being raised in these resolutions.
It can take some time for shareholders to get up to speed on emerging issues. The proposed changes could prevent significant topics, such as climate change, human rights issues, and board governance issues from even being raised and considered, to the detriment of all stakeholders.
The current 14a-8 rule has worked well for decades, and there is no need to revise it.
We engage on ESG risks as shareholders because we are concerned about the long-term health of the companies in which we are invested. Many of the companies that we engage with understand that this engagement enables them to mitigate reputational, legal, and financial risks, and build value. The filing of shareholder resolutions by investors–big and small–is a crucial part of the engagement process.
For the above reasons, we strongly urge the SEC to reconsider the proposed rule changes.

Background: There is an increased number of young people engaging in early sexual relationships worldwide. Furthermore, statistics for early pregnancy among young people has also increased especially in low and middle-income countries. This has health implications for both the parents and the baby. High uptake in family planning contraception among the young people can reduce early pregnancy and subsequent negative health outcomes on the young parents and the baby. This study was set to explore the factors influencing the uptake of family planning contraceptive services among young people (18-24 years) at community level in rural Budaka district, Uganda.
Method: The study utilised an explorative qualitative approach. Eight focus group discussion were conducted followed by sixteen one to one follow up semi-structured interviews with young people. Each focus group comprised of 10 participants (N=80). Sixteen one to one follow up interviews were meant to further explore issues raised in the focus groups (N=16). A thematic approach underpinned by the four phases of The Silences Framework (TSF) was used to analyse the data.
Results: The study found out that religion, partner resistance; perceived loss of libido, perceived barren, long waiting time and distance from the health facility, lack of privacy/confidentiality, excessive menstrual bleeding, cancer and fear of having disabled babies, limited the utilisation of family planning contraceptive services while contraception as HIV prevention and child spacing encouraged young people to use family planning contraceptive services.
Conclusion: There is need for a culturally orientated community-based contraceptive health promotion approach to increase the uptake of family planning contraception services among young people.
Globally there are over 1.8 billion young people and almost 90 percent of them, live in low and middle-income countries . Most of these young people start to explore sexual activities between the ages of 15 to 24 years. Furthermore, nearly all young people become sexually active by their 20th birthday worldwide and 75 percent of young women in sub-Saharan Africa, report engaging in sex by the time they are 20 years old . Studies have shown that those who engage in early sexual relations are at risk of having unwanted pregnancy and sexual transmitted infections . Engaging in sexual relations at an early age, without or with very little contraception knowledge and understanding can predispose these young people to an array of sexual transmitted infection including HIV and early-unplanned pregnancy .
The prevalence of unintended pregnancies, unsafe abortion, maternal mortality, injuries and sexually transmitted infections including HIV among youth in low and middle-income countries are extremely high . Moreover, it is reported that one out of 10 abortions globally and one out six births occur in low income countries annually among women of 15-19 years respectively . In addition, every day half a million of youth get infected with a sexually transmitted infection worldwide thereby demonstrating the significance of this public health . Nearly 12 million youth have are living with HIV and more than, 7000 youth are infected with HIV each day worldwide with the majority living in low- and middle-income countries . On the other hand, around 16 million adolescent girls 15 to 19 deliver annually, contributing to more than 10 percent of the total deliveries globally World . The reproductive options of youth have a vast effect on their health, education, employment opportunities and general transformation into adulthood . Primarily, early childbirth is associated with high prevalence of maternal and childhood illness and death, reduced chances for schooling, poverty in the family due to lower income, large family sizes thus leading to population explosion .
Studies indicate that utilising family planning services is good for women’s health as well as a novel idea as an HIV prevention strategy . Moreover, providing contraceptives to women as a strategy to prevent babies born with HIV is viewed as more cost efficient than providing Nevirapine for mothers infected with HIV attending antenatal care . Available literature shows that generally, young people who are sexually active and are not married may not want to get pregnant, while young people, who are married, might still not want to have children until a certain point in their life . It is imperative that these young people are given a choice to realise their goals, through the provision of a robust and affordable contraceptive service. In spite of these facts, the rate of contraceptive utilisation prevalence in Sub-Sahara Africa is pegged at 21 percent for women in general with even lower contraceptive prevalence rate for adolescent girls . There has been a range of service delivery strategies utilized to distribute family planning services to underprivileged groups like the youth in low and middle-income countries . The common strategies used to deliver family planning include health posts, health units, health centres, hospitals and community-based distribution that encompasses commercial retail sale, door-to-door service delivery and distribution at the workplaces . The facility-based model provides family planning services through public health centres and hospital whereas the community health worker who live within the communities can provide the same service which is personal and culturally orientated . Furthermore, utilization of modern contraceptive services is advantageous, since it provides medically complex methods such as Intra uterine contraceptive devices, hormonal implants and sterilization . Such professionally staffed, and quality approved services are important and safe for use by communities . Apart from constrained resources and facilities for family planning contraception services in low and middle-income countries, there is also a problem with the uptake of these services owing to a number of societal based factors . Currently there is very limited research exploring the factors influencing access to contraceptive services in sub-Sahara Africa. Therefore, this research study is set to explore the factors influencing the utilisation of family planning services among young people (18-24 years) at community level in rural Budaka district, Uganda.
The Health belief Model (HBM) and some aspects of The Silences framework (TSF) guided this study. The HBM proposes a small number of variables that can describe a significant percentage of difference in any behaviour within a given population . Furthermore, following a behaviour depends on the attitudes people have about that behaviour. The pre-eminent predictor of individual’s behaviour is the intent to execute that behaviour . When someone plans to execute a behaviour, health belief model predicts they will do so, given that they have the required abilities and skills and as long as the environmental factors do not interfere with the performance of the behaviour . The purpose of an individual to execute a behaviour is based on their attitude towards the behaviour, perceived belief related to the behaviour as well as self-efficacy associated with the behaviour . Within the HBM model, attitudes indicate how favourable or unfavourable an individual thinks his execution of the behaviour will be. Moreover, perception of norms points out the social pressures an individual feel to perform the behaviour . The social pressures associated with the behaviour points out the importance, if people value the behaviour or if peers are literally performing the behaviour . Ultimately, self-efficacy entails an individual’s belief, if they can ably execute the behaviour, notwithstanding their real skilfulness . The background factors like socio-economic status, relationship issues, and education can affect attitudes, perceived norms as well as self-efficacy. It is against this background that issues influencing the utilisation of contraceptive services among young people were identified and explored. TSF is suitable for researching marginalised and sometimes sensitive issues in communities . For example, issues of sexual health and contraception are regarded as sensitive and sometimes difficult to talk about among black sub-Sahara African (BSSA) communities. This study also adopted the stage 3 of the silence framework, which clarifies the refinement of themes during data analysis.
An explorative qualitative approach was adopted for this study, using focus group discussion and semi-structured interviews. Data was collected from young people residing and utilising contraceptive services in Budaka district. Purposive sampling method was utilised to select the study participants based on their location, sex and utilisation of contraceptive services .
Eight focus group discussion were conducted followed by sixteen one to one follow up semi-structured interviews with young people. Each focus group comprised of 10 participants (N=80). Sixteen one to one follow up interviews were meant to further explore issues raised in the focus groups (N=16). In order for the researcher to get the true lived experiences of the participants, focus group discussion were conducted with female participants and male participants who had used contraceptive services in Budaka district. The ethics committee of Nottingham Trent University approved the research Study. The ministry of health in Uganda also granted approval for the research study to be conducted. All the study participants were identified and contacted through the health workers at contraceptive services in Budaka District. Focus group discussion with the young people lasted for 1 hour and the one to one follow up interviews lasted for one hour. All interviews and focus group discussion were audio taped and transcribed verbatim, and the transcribed data were thematically analysed in line with the four phases of TSF tabulated below .
Stage 1. After transcription, the researcher analysed output from the interview and focus group discussion, and recurrent themes were identified as initial finding.
Stage 2. The research participants then reviewed stage 1 results. Feedback from the participants was used to critique, confirm or refute the findings in stage 1. A robust discussion of the silences (findings) was made.
Stage 3 Phase 3. Information from phase 3 was further analysed through social networks of the participants. The social network was drawn from people who had not taken part in the initial focus groups and one to one follow up interviews. The aim was to authenticate the findings from phase 2 with a critical indirectly associative analysis from a group that mirrors lived experiences of the research participants.
Stage 4. The researcher reflected on the findings of stage 1 and 2, revisiting, reviewing and developing emerging research findings, which were then taken as the final research results of this study.
Analysis of the data uncovered the attitudinal and no-attitudinal factors which affect the utilisation of family planning services among the youth.
Following analysis of the focus groups and one to one follow up interviews the following themes supported by captions from research participants were generated:
Most of the research participants felt that using contraceptives for family planning was not acceptable owing to the ethos and values of their faith and religion.
“Being a Muslim, it forbids me from using Contraceptives. God instructs us to multiply and replenish the earth”. (18-year-old Female participant).
“I am a Pentecostal; my religion does not allow me to use family planning methods, to have children that we can take care of” (16-year Male participant)
Many female research participants felt that use of contraception was strongly opposed by their partners citing cultural beliefs that the primary objective in marriage is to have children.
“My partner is strongly opposed to any form of contraception because he beliefs that the reason why we got married was to have as many children as possible” (21-year-old female participant)
“A man ‘s status is measured by the number of children he has I am strongly opposed to all this contraception business undermining the values and ethos of traditions” (24-year-old male participant)
Most research participants perceived that use of contraceptive for family planning can lead to loss of libido thus causing marital breakdowns.
“I do not trust these contraceptives for family planning they can really destroy your sexual desire. My aunt has always been advising me against using them and warned me that my marriage will breakdown” (A 22-year-old female participant).
“Since growing up we were being told that using family planning contraception can affect your womanhood I mean sexual appetite and that can cause problems in your marriage or relationship” (A 23-year-old female participant).
The research participants felt that the using of family planning contraception while young can lead to loss of fertility resulting in divorce.
“Youth should not use family planning; it prevents them from having children later in life. For instance, if you have a large piece of land, who will cultivate this land if you do not have children. In addition, the use of contraceptives leads to deformed babies and children with low intelligence quotient (A 24-year-old Male participant).
“My feeling is that Youth should not use family planning methods because it affects the uterus and they have to remove it. If you use contraceptives before having children, it may be difficult later to have children when the uterus is removed. Family planning contraception is good for older women who have produced the desired number of children and they wish to stop.” (22- year old Female participant).
“In my culture when you pay dowry the woman is expected to deliver children as a symbol of appreciation for the dowry you paid. Therefore, if you are married, you are not expected to use any family planning method (A 22-year-old male participant).
Further discussion on availability of services disclosed that even when methods are available, youth reported on missing the services sometime because the providers are too busy to attend to them or they spent a long time waiting to be attended to.
“Although contraceptives are available, if you have other commitments and you’re in a rush, you would rather leave it until you have time, Sometimes there is a long que waiting for one nurse to perform contraceptive procedures on more than forty people”. (A 22-year-old female participant).
“Sometimes you have to travel more than two hours to get to the clinic and then wait for further two hours while waiting for one nurse who is skilled to fit in the implants honestly it is taxing. I sometimes feel I would rather leave it” (A 23-year-old female participant).
“There is no privacy at that clinic you hear the nurses shouting to people attending the clinic to line up for implants or tablets. Everyone will know why you are at the clinic. Honestly there is need for the nurses to put some form of privacy for service users” (19-year-old female participant).
“There is lack of privacy at that clinic, everyone can easily know why you are at the clinic sometimes the staff just shout out private information in front of others service users” (A 24-year-old female participant).
Female young people using family planning methods reported that they had overcome discontentment from the community to start using family planning methods. The young people preferred contraception for different reasons, which include, the benefits associated with child spacing, delaying next pregnancy, protection from sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDs and that these contraceptives are free of charge.
“As a married young person, I and my partner always visit the health facility for free for condoms when we run out of supplies and these are given freely by the health workers. They have helped us to space our children well”. (A 23-year-old Female participants).
“Family planning method helps me to have children that me and my partner can provide for in terms of education and food, It is also important because it protects me from sexual transmitted infections including HIV when I decide to get a new partner ” (A 22 year old male participant).
The research participants expressed a strong fear of side effects caused by family planning contraception. Some believed that family.
“Youth should not use family planning methods because they interfere with their menstruation cycles and cause excusive bleeding. My mum experienced it until she just stopped using contraception”. (A 22-year-old Female participant).
“I have known people who have been using family planning contraception for a long time. They only stopped taking contraceptives when they were experiencing bleeding. Honestly it is fearful. (23-year-old Male participant)
The research participants expressed perceived fear of cancer caused by using family planning contraception.
“I may be wrong, but it is public knowledge that family planning contraception is a source of all these untreatable chronic conditions including cancer that killed my mother” (A 24-year-old male research participant).
“Honestly all these cancers that are troubling us today are caused by some of these family planning contraceptives, we really need to find a solution to this. All these diseases never affected us in the olden days until family planning contraceptives started to be used” (A 22-year-old male participant).
The research participants believed that children born with disability were being exacerbated by using family planning contraception.
“Family planning contraception is the source of all these disabled children we have in our communities. Just look at how many children are being born with disability today compared to the olden days” (A 23-year-old male participant)
“Honestly increased use of contraception can be linked to use of family planning contraception, my grand father told me that these problems came with the use of family planning contraceptives” (A 24-year-old male participant).
Following the presentation of the results supported by captions from lived experiences and attitudes of research participants towards the use of family planning contraceptives a detailed discussion was undertaken to unpack the themes identified during data analysis and presentation.
Religion is a very important and integral part of life within many BSSA communities . It is against this background that the research participants felt that using family planning contraception was a religious traverse of justice that is totally opposed to the ethos and values of the religion that bind and protect them . Such beliefs in communities are not new. In many occasions, religion through its sacredness has been used to disapprove scientific proven ideas and practices . In doing so patriarchy has found power in justifying and perpetuating the ethos and values that protects the interest and power of men in many African societies and the world at large. It is important that health professionals and women are equipped with knowledge and understanding to engage and challenge these retrogressive perceptions advanced by men to perpetuate their patriarchal superiority complex . By so doing, there is need to demarcate the benefits of religion and distorted claim to societal development through a broad community-based education approach that fosters honesty and integrity to the most vulnerable members of the human society namely children young people and women in general . While religion boasts of so many benefits in society it is important to guard against its use as an opium to society as propounded by Max . Such assertiveness can guard against victimisation and oppression of women to bend to the whims and desire of men during the transaction of family planning contraception processes.
Both female and male participants reported partner resistance to the use of contraception. This notion was based on the premise that the essence of marriage as valued and recognised among BSSA communities is to bear as many children as possible . It is important to realise that one of the main problems experienced by families in many low- and middle-income countries is child poverty. This is caused by resistance to change and realising that the dynamics of economics has changed where wellbeing of children is shaped by affordability in providing support . It is imperative that staff in family planning clinics are equipped with the right skills to inform communities on the importance of having children they are capable of supporting in terms of education and general wellbeing.
One of the reasons put forward by the research participants as inhibiting the use of family planning contraceptives was fear of losing libido. Though a marginalised issue and sometimes hard to discuss among BSSA communities, libido is central to marriage . The idea of valuing libido is not new among BBSA communities. This is a long running historically entrenched belief that need to be challenged in the modern world in order to advance the status of women ‘s health. In doing, so there is need for the ministry of health to roll out community-based education to enlighten communities and individuals whose focus on the meaning of marriage is associated with strong libido. However, it is important not to discount the importance accorded to it but to allow communities to also consider an array of issues that constitutes marriage. Partners involved in a union should not be coerced to value an individual factor in defining the essence of family planning contraception. There is need to provide a gender sensitive health promotion approach in dealing with such often marginalised issues but equally important to the core of marriage.
Furthermore, perceived fear of being barren or losing the ability to have children was cited by research participants as a constraining factor in utilising family planning contraception. Traditionally, among BSSA communities marriage is valued by the number of children an individual has . This traditional value comes with many challenges that are not explored and considered by families . There is need for professionals working in family planning to initiate these conversations with families and dispel the myths around the impact of taking family planning contraception. It is important that young people are engaged and allowed to articulate their views, fears and resolutions around the issue as a starting point. Furthermore, involvement of other young people with clear knowledge on the impact of family planning contraception as peer educators can be a viable strategy in eliminating contraception myths . Such strategies are not new to health promotion, as they have been found to be effective in HIV/AIDS programmes.
Another issue raised by the research participants was privacy and confidentiality accorded to service users by the staff at family planning facilities. It is important that the integrity and respect of service users at clinics or health facilities dealing with sensitive issues like sexual health and contraception is respected and protected . To achieve this milestone there is need for the ministry of health and other partners involved in developing and strengthening the health systems in low and middle-income countries to prioritise staff development through continuous training on important issues like privacy and confidentiality. More importantly, the health facilities need to engage young people and ensure them that their privacy and confidentiality will be maintained at all times while transacting family planning business. Such an assurance should be supported through change in practice and putting the values of service users at the forefront.
The research participants also located excessive menstrual bleeding, fear of cancer and having a disabled child as further inhibiting factors in the utilisation of family planning contraception services. Again, as alluded to earlier on, in this article community driven myths can be more powerful than a positive health message owing to the source and rationale for the creation of the myths . Myths are normally created and disseminated by powerful community gatekeepers to perpetuate sometimes-negative practices. It is therefore important that professionals working in family planning are equipped with skills to engage community gatekeepers, dispel the myths from the core source, and use them as partners in spreading positive family planning contraception messages. In doing so, the power and influence of community gatekeepers is turned to join forces with health professionals in creating myth free community .
There was no total rejection or dismissal of contraception by the research participants as they reported that meanwhile they may want to take up family planning contraception, there inhibiting factors that included long waiting time and distance to the to the health facility. This problem is not new in many health systems of low and middle-income countries including developed countries save for the distance travelled to health facilities . There is need for governments in low and middle-income countries to consider strengthening their health systems through community empowerment and training of local people as community Health workers (CHWs). CHWs can help in performing or dispensing non-complex family planning procedures or distributing family planning tablets and condoms in community centres like shops, faith centres and community halls to mitigate distance travelled to health facilities by young people . Such services can increase the uptake of family planning contraception services among young people and the community at large.
Furthermore, the research participants showed appreciation of some family planning contraception methods like male and female condoms as vital for both HIV prevention and child spacing. It is important to note that although there are many inhibiting factors in the utilisation of family planning contraceptives there is also acknowledgement of positive outcomes on the use of contraception by the research participants. The realisation of the importance of family planning contraception as a double benefit by the young people should be positively celebrated and perpetuated by the health professionals through continuous dialogue with young people and the community at large . Such reinforcement of positive behaviour is a key health promotion strategy to counter inhibiting factors in the uptake of family planning contraception services among young people and the community at large.
There is a growing need for policy makers in low- and middle-income countries to consider robust family planning contraceptive policies which addresses specific needs for young people. More importantly inclusive health promotion programmes involving communities and their gatekeepers are key in tackling many inhibiting factors to the uptake of family planning contraception. There is need to invest in continuous staff development trainings to make sure that the workforce in family planning contraception is kept abreast with new changes and challenges emerging in the field . A more substantive comprehensive research assessing wider factors influencing the uptake of family planning contraception need to be undertaken with a view to develop an effective intervention to increase the uptake of family planning contraception among young people in Uganda.
This research was only carried out in Budaka district utilising a qualitative research paradigm, while Uganda has so many districts. It is therefore difficult to draw conclusions from this study about the general factors influencing the uptake of family planning contraception among young people in Uganda. A more geographical and population sample representative research is needed.
The findings from this study identified both positive and negative factors influencing utilization of family planning contraception. However, the majority of young people used contraceptives to prevent unplanned pregnancies; sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDs in order to remain in school and finish their education. There were more inhibitors than enhancers in factors that influenced the utilisation of family planning contraceptives.
Our sincere gratitude goes to the community of Budaka district in Uganda who participated in this research study
This research was funded by the Commonwealth Scholarship

Pineapple tattoos have been growing in popularity these past few years. Tattooing itself has also transformed; it is moving away from being an underappreciated craft to become a fine art form.
A good tattoo can inspire hope, keep negative emotions at bay, and allow someone to craft a meaningful self-image.
A tattoo is an item in your identity kit – a way of connecting with the world and putting an image of yourself out there.
Given the highly personal choice behind any tattoo it is little wonder so many people are choosing to get themselves a pineapple tattoo, yet the symbolism of pineapple tattoos, and their meaning, has also changed over recent years.

What does a pineapple tattoo mean?
Tattoo designs are highly personal to each individual. If you see someone with a pineapple tattoo and are curious of the meaning, the only way to get a sure answer is to ask them!
Likewise, if you’re thinking of getting a pineapple tattoo, it’s more than likely you have your own personal interpretation and meaning. The design is the tricky part.
The symbolism of pineapple connects more generally with the ideas of hope, happiness and hospitality. The distinctive outline of a pineapple makes for a very good small pineapple outline tattoo.
Alternatively, a full-color or even psychadelic coloured pineapple can make for an exceptional piece of art.
In the infertility community, a pineapple tattoo can also be seen as a symbol of solidarity and hope.
What are some good pineapple tattoo designs?
Unique pineapple tattoo designs combine the outline of a pineapple with a picture inside representing a concept or idea important to the individual.
Done well, it makes for a nice combo, as demonstrated here by inkedmiami, a tattoo studio in Miami, Florida.
Black and White Pineapple Tattoo Design Inspo
A simpler, and more common, pineapple tattoo is the black and white outline. Given the beautiful geometric patterns that naturally occur on the face of a pineapple that are similar to the heavenly proportions of the fibonacci sequence, it makes for an inherently pleasing design, as demonstrated expertly here..
The execution, of course, depends on the skill of your tattoo artist. A full color pineapple tattoo in the golden hues and green crown is suitable for people with colorful personalities, keen to show their exuberence to the world.
On the more extravagant side of pineapple tattooing – which definitely requires a skilled artist! – you can find concepts combining pineapple tattoos with faces…
Pineapple tattoos with skulls…
and, of course, pineapple on pizza tattoos…
The important thing with any tattoo is to get something personally significant. Most are permanent, so it’s crucial that you’re comfortable with the ink you’re about to get.
Overall, if you’re a happy-go-lucky person keen to connect with the world, a pineapple tattoo might be a good choice for you!

Watch The Ladykillers (1956) using Stremio
This is truely top class movie and I really love it. I watched many movies in my life, over 10k in total... I sat for a long time after I ended watching The Ladykillers, reflecting on my life. The real power of this production is an acting game of actor and the rest, that's amazing. I couldn't find any single bad thing in that movie. It is 100/100 and sets the standard for every other movie in this genre. The story can be interpreted in many ways, I think the The Ladykillers is even too short. Watch The... Show more

There is much debate over where taking greater environmental and social responsibility within apparel should lie, but the truth is we all have a part to play.
To help drive innovation and sustainability in textiles to move towards a cleaner, greener, more efficient future, a collaborative approach between all stakeholders is needed. A stance taken in a new industry white paper puts the spotlight on different perspectives from across the supply chain.
The sustainability challenge
Textiles is the second most polluting industry on the planet, second only to energy production, and is responsible for a staggering 20 per cent of global water pollution (Bank, 2014). Liz Manning, Business Development Manager at Catexel believes water scarcity is a pressing issue and management of wastewater is another challenge. According to her, "If the effluent from the dyeing process is not dealt with properly it can cause serious environmental problems when released back into the system."
Consumer addiction to cheap, fast fashion has had a worrying impact on our environment. In the last 15 years, Greenpeace estimates that the average EU consumer is buying 60 per cent more clothes but keeping them for half as long vs. 2001 (Roloff, 2016). The average American throws away around 30kg of textile waste each year (Ecouterre, 2012) and 30 per cent of clothing in UK wardrobes hasn't been worn in over 12 months (WRAP, 2016).
Valued at between $1 and 3 trillion (Sinointeractive, 2016), (Huang, 2012), and employing almost 1 per cent of the world's population (Kane, 2015), the global textiles and apparel market is not only huge but diverse and fragmented with multiple stakeholders, bringing challenges when trying to instigate change. With multiple regulatory bodies, ecological labels, individual brand standards and consumer demands, carving a more sustainable way forward is a challenge but a necessary one which must involve the entire value chain.
Barriers to change
Due to the multiple processing stages and sheer number of stakeholders involved, assessing the green credentials of a particular garment is a complex process. The source of the fabric, how it was processed into a textile, how it was prepared for dyeing, the dyeing process itself, then finishing, garment production and the labour conditions throughout the supply chain all need to be taken into account.
Once sold to the consumer, the sustainability journey continues, particularly as the quality and lifetime of a garment has an impact on burgeoning levels of textile waste. Textile and apparel suppliers vary greatly in size, technical capability, and financial security which means game-changing technologies that could enable greener production often struggle to reach large proportions of the market.
According to Jorge Faria, Managing Director at Aquitex, "to resolve the pressing issues that are really impacting the environment, game-changing technologies will be needed. They must deliver the required performance and sustainably benefits all at a competitive cost."
Any innovation must be economically, as well as environmentally sustainable. With vast variations in skills at the end-user level, any new technologies should be robust and require minimal alterations to current production processes, to minimise the need for re-training. There are indeed a vast number of parameters that need to be considered in the search for an operationally viable way forward for textiles. How can we reduce the effluent load from garment production? How can we address the serious issues around labour practices? How can we encourage consumers to purchase more mindfully and reduce levels of waste? How can we do all this whilst still meeting profitability targets?
James Carnahan, Sustainability Manager, Color & Specialty Chemicals, Archroma believes that the textiles industry is ripe for disruption but a fear of rising costs or changes in established processes means there is a strong resistance to change. But rather than shying away from innovation altogether, the industry can start by making small, high-impact improvements."

Sergey Sirotkin's backers are pulling out all the stops to get their protégé into Williams' second seat alongside Lance Stroll in 2018.
The 22-year-old Russian emerged as a surprise contender for the drive after last month's post-season Abu Dhabi tyre test, and is now rumored to be Williams' preferred choice for next year, crushing Robert Kubica's hopes of a sensational F1 come-back.
Sirotkin enjoys the support of his long-time personal backers, Russian bank SMP, which has reportedly put €15 million on the table to help the driver's cause.
SMP owner and billionaire Boris Rotenberg is hopeful a deal can be secured but he isn't putting the cart before the horse however.
"I never like to talk in advance," said the Russian oligarch.
"It's like football, when you only say you want to win the next game. We are all hoping and trying to do everything, but it depends not only on us.
"The main thing is that they (Williams) understand us, but in any case Sergey deserves to go to Formula 1," Rotenberg added.
"He beat the competition, going faster than Kubica and at the level of Stroll. So we now have the opportunity to put him into a car," he said.
Arthur Kubica, the Polish driver's father, insists his son and his management team, which includes Nico Rosberg, are still fighting for the Williams seat.
The Grove-based outfit has delayed the announcement of its 2018 driver line-up to after the new year.
