Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has asked former Nigeria’s President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and his fellow travelers to stop the religious rhetoric and focus on things that would unite the people of the country.
“So I want to urge all our leaders here that we must not allow the rhetoric of religion to supersede the rhetoric of unity. We must also speak up; we must seek ways that will unite our country.
“We cannot keep quiet because there are so many negative statements being made every day and sometimes we ignore those statements and say these are people who have no understanding. But if we allow these negative statements to continue then they will define our country and will define the situation of our country.”
Professor Osinbajo, who spoke today, Tuesday, when he led Abuja residents on Sallah homage to President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, was obviously reacting to Obasanjo’s latest attack on Buhari’s government, which he accused of Islamising the country.
Professor Osinbajo made it clear that God has been extremely good to Nigeria and President Buhari as well as the government, recalling that about two years ago, he had to host the Sallah homage because the President was away on medical leave at the time.
He said that God has been so good, not only did He bring the President back healthier than when he left, but has also been gracious enough for him to have a second opportunity to lead Nigeria.
“I thank the almighty God for you and for all of us who have been a part of your government and who have been a part of what God has done in our midst.”
Osinbajo swore that Nigeria today, is at a threshold of greatness, saying that any situation where something great and important is about to happen, “usually you will have very many and negative opposing voices that want to keep that thing from happening.
“I believe that our country is at a threshold of the breakthrough that we have been praying for and hoping for all these many years. And this is why many challenges are going on. Challenges around security, religion, people who are stoking up ambers of lagoon, religious grievance and ethnic divisions and all that.”
He noted that the gathering of people of different political and religious colours to greet the President is a proof that the country is a country of one people, adding that they might be different in their faith, ethnicity “but we are one people? We are one and unity people.”
Vice President Osinbajo commended all the leaders present at the event “for making this tradition, that we will come together – Christians, Muslims, and people of different faith to demonstrate that this country is a united country. And that those who will want to stoke up ambers or division we will not allow them to do so.”
Osinbajo also commended President Buhari for the great leadership he had shown in the past four years and in this second term and prayed that may God almighty will help him and strengthen him, give him the grace and understanding and empower him even more to be able to do the things he desires in his heart to do to make Nigeria really great.
Those who accompanied Professor Osinbajo on the homage are the former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari; Chief of Defence Staff, General Abayomi Olonisakin; Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar.
Others are the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno, and the Director General of Department for State Service (DSS), Yusuf Magaji Bichi; Civil Defence FCT Commandant; Permanent Secretary in the State House, Jalal Arabi; Senator Philip Aduda; former minister of communications, Adebayo Shittu and the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele.

I couldn’t wait and threw my suitcase on the floor and immediately put the kettle on and tore into the Not So vanilla. First of all, I have to admit that I love the tea labels! Backwards and upsidedown little birdy fish with Googly eyes!! So cute!! Second of all, I love the tea!! This has a nice subtle malty chocolate flavor which blends nicely with the vanilla bean and I got those amazing black specks floating in the top of my teacup that I love so much so you know it’s real vanilla bean! Best of all the price point doesn’t make me feel like I need to hoard this tea for special occasions and pick me ups only! I think I just found my everyday drinking vanilla tea!

HICKS CHANGES TACK: Allegra Hicks has pulled out of London Fashion Week, which takes place from Sept. 14 to 19, and will instead show the collection to members of the press during a presentation at the designer’s London store on Oct. 15. Pia Marocco, chief executive, said sponsors had cut back on funding for this season’s show, a move that dovetailed with the fashion company’s plans to swap runway shows for events or installations in the near future. “Staging a show requires a lot of money and a lot of energy, and frankly that strategy is not really right for the company,” she said. “Also, London is very avant-garde, and we feel the odd one out.” Marocco said, however, that business was growing, buyers were already booked in for sales appointments in London, Paris and New York, and that next season Hicks would likely host an event in New York to showcase the collection.

Next Tuesday, Blaine County voters will go to the polls to help select the Democratic candidate for District 25's state Senate seat.
Voters will have a loaded field to choose from. Facing off in the May 25 Democratic primary race are Robert Blakeley of Hailey, David Maestas of Hagerman and Ketchum's Michelle Stennett, who stood in for her husband, Sen. Clint Stennett, during the 2010 Legislature.
The winner of Tuesday's primary race will face Republican Jim Donoval of Sun Valley and Carey's Randall Patterson, a member of the Constitution Party, in November's general election.
District 25 covers Blaine, Camas, Gooding and Lincoln counties.
Here's a rundown of each of the candidates and their backgrounds:
Michelle Stennett decided run for the District 25 Senate seat long held by her husband, Democrat Clint Stennett, after a visit to their doctor in California in early March showed the presence of a small tumor. He has been fighting brain cancer—with radiation and other treatments—for the past two and a half years.
In March, Clint Stennett announced his retirement from the Senate so he could continue his recovery from treatment for brain cancer.
During an interview in March, Michelle Stennett said she is looking to leverage the experience she's gained since the legislative session began in January, as well as the continued mentoring from her husband.
"I didn't want to abandon the seat when I knew I could do a good job," she said. "I have a good working relationship with other members of the Senate and as part of the minority can rattle cages and show the other side of issues."
Hagerman resident David Maestas is an ardent advocate of regulating the state's politically powerful dairy industry. As a former planning and zoning commissioner in Gooding County—which has its share of dairy operations—it's an issue he knows well. It's also the primary issue he's pinning his candidacy on.
According to information provided by Maestas, the county has permitted the dairy industry for more than 275,000 animal units (equivalent to 1,000 pounds each) on 115,000 acres countywide.
"The environmental impact of this saturation is absolutely devastating," he said.
In recent years, Gooding County has updated and streamlined its regulations for permitting future expansions of the dairy industry, Maestas said. He said continued attention is needed at the state level to make sure the dairy industry regulations remain in place.
"Dairy industry lobbyists and consultants have stated they are ready to confront Gooding County's new ordinances at the state legislative level in the form of new statutes," he said. "Someone needs to be there to monitor every piece of legislation and every cause that seeks to deny this protection."
Maestas said the dairy issue should matter to Blaine County voters, despite its distance from the area. He said what occurs in Gooding County matters in Blaine County, which is heavily dependent on the tourist trade.
"It's the gateway to your district," he said.
Maestas has also served on the Hagerman Planning and Zoning Commission and was chair of the Greater Twin Falls Area Transportation Committee, president of the Twin Falls Optimist Club and vice president of the Twin Falls Chamber board of directors.
Hailey resident Robert Blakeley is already a familiar face among some voters because of his involvement with the Liberty Lobby, which began in 2004 to advocate locally for pro-marijuana laws. In 2007, the organization put four marijuana legalization or reform initiatives on the ballot in Hailey. Three were approved by voters, including legalizing the medical use of marijuana, making enforcement of marijuana laws the city's lowest police priority and legalizing industrial hemp use.
During an interview in April, Blakeley said that if he makes it to the Capitol, in addition to his continuing effort to legalize hemp for industrial uses, he will also be a labor advocate and stump for better representation of workers around the state. He said he is also a proponent of establishing term limits for elected officials.
The district is a traditional stronghold for Democrats, and Blakeley sees no reason why it won't be this time around. Still, he said, voters deserve more than one candidate in the Democratic primary.
"It's important to give people a choice," he said.
Donoval and Patterson
Donoval and Patterson are both running unopposed in their respective primary races.
Donoval moved to the valley from Illinois in 2008 when his wife, Sharon Hammer, was hired as the Sun Valley city administrator.
He got involved in local politics in early 2009 when he came out against the proposal to merge Sun Valley and Ketchum. His political experience includes running unsuccessfully for the Illinois House of Representatives in 1992 and serving on the Illinois Republican Platform Committee. He's also worked on local, state and federal political campaigns.
Patterson took over as mayor of Carey last year. The owner and operator of a marketing business, he was on the Carey City Council for nearly a decade, serving from 1998 through 2006. He ran unopposed for mayor last November after three-term Mayor Rick Baird stepped down from the post.

USWNT’s equal pay lawsuit granted class action status
The ruling means that any woman who featured in a USWNT squad over the period specified in the lawsuit – dating back to 4th February 2015 – is eligible to seek injunctive relief, back pay and damages from their own governing body.
The certification also names Carli Lloyd, Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe and Becky Sauerbrunn as class representatives.
US Soccer had previously filed a motion opposing the USWNT’s request to certify the gender discrimination lawsuit as a class action. However, the court ruled that the plaintiffs had ‘offered sufficient proof’ that the federation had failed to provide the USWNT with equal working conditions, hence allowing the players to argue their case as a group and enabling any players to opt in to the class.
‘This is a historic step forward in the struggle to achieve equal pay,’ USWNT spokesperson Molly Levinson said in a statement. ‘We are so pleased that the court has recognised USSF's ongoing discrimination against women players - rejecting USSF's tired arguments that women must work twice as hard and accept lesser working conditions to get paid the same as men.
‘We are calling on Carlos Cordeiro to lead USSF and demand an end to the unlawful discrimination against women now.’
The California court ruling is the latest chapter in a fallout dating back to May, when the USWNT filed the gender discrimination lawsuit seeking equal pay and working conditions.
The two parties agreed to enter into mediation talks in June in an attempt to resolve the issue and avoid a battle in federal court, but those negotiations broke down in August as the USWNT claimed that US Soccer showed no willingness to address the current pay structure.
US Soccer president Carlos Cordeiro further fractured the federation’s relations with the FIFA Women’s World Cup champions at the end of July when he issued an open letter and accompanying fact sheet claiming the country’s female national team players were paid more than their male counterparts between 2010 and 2018. The USWNT responded by labelling the financial analysis as ‘utterly false’.
The case is currently scheduled to go to trial on 5th May 2020.

Word around is that Extra Foods is gonna become No Frills in the very near future.
It’s been in the works for a long time… but yes, the time has almost come. Craptastic for this time of year though… lots of people will be without jobs for the holidays
My days of shopping there will be over if it changes.
I don’t shop there as much as I find some prices higher than Safeway…
A very poor work environment will get even worse at Extra once it becomes No Frills…
Happy Holidays not…
What’s this No Frills you’re referring to?
Yes this is sad. I have two friends that work there and they both told me they have a choice of taking a pay cut or a buy out…very sad indeed for all.
No Frills = exactly that… booooooooooring!!
All no-name, no pharmacy, no deli, no bakery, no fruit and veggies!
You also have to bag your own groceries, preferably with your own bags!
well you have to bag your own groceries anyway…the fruit and veggies sucks - i find they go bad waaay too fast…and the dairy section is never “cold” it sucks for the ppl getting a pay cut - but at least they’re given the option of keeping their job.
It will suck to lose the Presidents choice brand though - they have the best cookies
If I remember correctly the No Frills @ Denman Place Mall has PC Brand Products …
Oh well more to go to Terrace for… this is sad our shopping choices locally are getting worse all the time… :(
Yep, PC will still be sold there.
Whooo whoo they get to keep a job at less pay and worse working conditions a big win that one
I shop there for kitty litter (cheaper!) and was buying catfood as the brand my cats like was .20c cheaper than Safeway but suddenly the price increased that amount so pissed me off ! I do like some of the PC brands though and love their BBQ chicken deal although they never seem to have any left when I get there. If it is true, it is so sad for the employees especially in a town where jobs are not so readily available. Makes me appreciate the one I have as much as I complain about it, sometimes.
it sucks there anyways
yes Extrafoods will be changing over to NoFrills,they CLAIM they are losing money keeping it an Extrafoods, from what we have been told it is a store that changes there prices every 2 weeks. they claim it is going to be better for Rupert,( ???) maybe better for there pocket, but not the staff. yes I work there and all of us do not want to see this happen, change the name who cares but the contract they are offering hurts the ones that have been there for years, since june we have had nothing but threats, saying if you don’t do this or that it will close. no one wants to see it close as it will put alot of people out of work.
but for the record: the drug store will stay open, my job as GM is gone. there will be no bakery, as of right now all the meat is been shipped in from out of town as most of the people in Rupert already no. ( I no longer buy my meat from there).its a lets see what happens now,
please understand if it was you working there for 15 to 20 years and been able to pay your bills, then to be told your wage is going to be 10.00 an hour I think you would be a little upset to.
I can smell a strike coming up real soon here,I have only been there a year now and I will stand beside all staff, just like any other union person would.we as staff are trying to do the best for everyone in Rupert but its not only here, they want to shut down all extrafoods across Canada.there is 10 out there.
for anyone that wants to see what NO FRILLS offer you can google it they have fliers out already,
Also with these changes it will hurt safeway and overwaite, our other 2 main stores in town. they are the same union as us everyone will see price changes just like stocks. up and down every day,so this is not just only hurting the staff at extrafoods but the staff at the store you shop at. I shop safeway thank you
WHAT !! you being the GM at Extra Foods and telling all of us you shop at Safeway. So please don’t shop at my store, cause I don’t.
There were frills?
hello I am not the general manager, Gm is general mechendiser. 2 different parts, most stores have a number of departments . this is one that is at extrafoods.
in no way will it affect safeway or overwaitea. i shop at both stores mainly at safeway. they carry quality meats veggies and bakery . extra foods carries none of that. its a welfare store is all it is.
the sad part is extra takes advantage of the people on welfare, as at one time they were cheaper than the other two this is often no longer the case… Safeway is far better and with Air Miles Bonuses the real savings comes with very low cost air travel with points… Extra Foods’ work attmosphere had been poor this will be a nightmare… I feel for the workers. I spoke to one this morning who told me she would drop from $19 an hour down to $11, this is disgusting…

Deutsche “CoCo” bond prices fall to record low
4 February, 2016
The prices of Deutsche Bank’s riskiest bonds have fallen to their lowest ever levels as investors hone in on the complications surrounding new markets for bank debt.
So called contingent convertible, or coco bonds, are written down or converted to equity when a bank’s capital falls to a certain level, reports Thomas Hale in London.
These bonds, which were introduced to transfer banking risk to investors and away from the state, pay a hefty coupon.
The high yields on the overall asset class made it one of the best performing over last year. But investors’ appetite for these bonds has proved more muted this year.
A €1.75bn Deutsche coco with a 6 per cent coupon is now trading at just over 80 cents on the euro, its lowest ever level. Another bond with a 7.5 per cent coupon is at 87.1 cents on the dollar. The bonds have lost 13 and 10 per cent of their value respectively since the start of January.
The problem is not limited to Deutsche. A Santander coco bond is also trading at its lowest ever level, below 90 cents on the euro.
The low prices reflect in part complex risks that have emerged across Europe’s €95bn market for additional tier 1 bonds (AT1), the main type of coco.
One problem is that the high coupon on the bonds can be cancelled when the bank runs into trouble and its capital falls. Exactly when this cancellation arises is the subject of some debate. Regulators have recently suggested payments might be stopped earlier than suggested for European banks, because of the way capital is calculated.
Deutsche’s chief executive, John Cryan, said in October the bank will prioritise coco coupon payments. And on January 28, Marcus Schenck, CFO said: “We believe we have sufficient general reserves available to cover any shortfall.”
Another problem is that the bonds are perpetual but come with a call date, when the bank can redeem the bond and re-issue.
If bonds trading below par are called, the investor receives the upside on the cash price, as well as a high coupon in between. But if they not called, they are less valuable to investors because that profit is not realised. For this reason, market expectations around whether a call will happen can drive prices up and down.
And then there are regulatory issues. Regulators have power over whether bonds are called, and also have influence over when coupons are halted. For bonds trading below par, it does not directly make economic sense for banks to call them only to re-issue with a higher coupon.
Concerns extend beyond technical market issues. Deutsche has recently grappled with problems in its investment banking business and the impact of low interest rates on its already low-returning retail bank. Globally, financial stocks have endured a tough start to the year, with the FTSE All-Share Banks index is down 15.7 per cent so far this year.
A Wounded Deutsche Bank Lashes Out At Central Bankers: Stop Easing, You Are Crushing Us
6 February, 2016
Ten days ago, when Deutsche Bank stock was about 10% higher, the biggest German commercial bank declared war on Mario Draghi, as we put it, warning him that any further easing by the ECB would only push stocks (with an emphasis on DB stock which has gotten pummeled over the past few months) lower. What it got, instead, was a slap in the face in the form of a major new easing program when the Bank of Japan announced it is unveiling negative rates just three days later.
Which is why overnight a badly wounded Deutsche Bank has expanded its war against the ECB to include the BOJ as well, and in a note titled "The Risks From Further ECB and BOJ Easing" it wants that with the Zero Lower Bound already breached in nearly a third of global markets, the benefits to risk assets from further easing no longer exist, and in fact it says that while central banks have hoped that such measures would "push investors out the risk spectrum" the "impact has been exactly the opposite."
In other words, we have reached that fork in the road within the monetary twilight zone, where Europe's largest bank is openly defying central bank policy and demanding an end to easy money. Alas, since tighter monetary policy assures just as much if not more pain, one can't help but wonder just how the central banks get themselves out of this particular trap they set up for themselves.
Here is DB's Parag Thatte explaining the "The risks from further ECB and BOJ easing"
The BOJ surprised with a move to negative rates last week, while ECB rhetoric suggests additional easing measures forthcoming in March. While a fundamental tenet of these measures, in particular negative rates, has been to push investors out the risk spectrum, we remind that arguably the impact has been exactly the opposite:
- Declining bond yields have been robustly associated with larger inflows into bonds at the expense of equities. Though a large over allocation to fixed income at the expense of equities already exists as a result of past Fed QEs and a lack of normalization of rates, further easing by the ECB and BOJ that lower bond yields globally will only exacerbate the over allocation to bonds;
- Asynchronous easing by the ECB and BOJ while the Fed is on hold risks speeding up the dollar’s up cycle, pushing oil prices lower and exacerbating credit concerns in the Energy, Metals and Mining sectors. It is notable that the ECB’s adoption of negative rates in mid-2014 which prompted the large move in the dollar and collapse in oil prices, marked the beginning of the now huge outflows from High Yield. These flows out of High Yield rotated into High Grade, ironically moving up not down the risk spectrum. The downside risk to oil prices is tempered somewhat by the fact that they look cheap and look to be already pricing in the next leg of dollar strength;
- Asynchronous easing by the ECB and BOJ that is reflected in the US dollar commensurately raises the trade-weighted RMB and increase the risk of a disorderly devaluation by China. The risk of further declines in the JPY is tempered by the fact that it is already very (-29%) cheap, but there is plenty of valuation room for the euro to fall.
Broad-based move across asset classes towards neutral amidst uncertainties
- US equity fund positioning inched closer to neutral; as anticipated the returning buyback bid is being offset by large persistent outflows (-$42bn ytd);
- European equity positioning is also close to neutral amidst slowing inflows; Japanese funds trimmed exposure from very overweight levels while flows turned negative for the first time in 2 months;
- The large short in US bond futures has started to be cut; 2y bond shorts were cut by half this week while short-dated rates futures are already long. Robust inflows into government bond funds which began this year have continued while the pace of outflows from HY and EM funds has slowed;
- A move toward neutral was also evident in FX positions. The surprise BoJ cut to negative rates caught yen longs by surprise, with the large initial subsequent depreciation in the yen partly reflecting a paring of positions. Meanwhile, the euro rose to a 3 month high as crowded leveraged fund shorts were being covered despite the ECB’s dovish rhetoric;
- As the dollar fell, net speculative long positions in oil rose, reflecting mainly an increase in gross longs while shorts remain at record highs; copper shorts continue to edge back from extremes; gold longs are rising.
Declining bond yields mean larger inflows into bonds at the expense of equities
- A fundamental tenet of central bank easing has been to push investors out the risk spectrum. The impact has arguably been exactly the opposite
- Beyond any negative signal further monetary easing sends on underlying growth prospects, historically falling bond yields with the attendant capital gains on bonds have seen inflows rotate into bonds at the expense of equities. The correlation between equities and bond yields remains strongly positive. Notably, the best period of inflows for equities was after the taper announcement in 2013 when bond yields rose sharply
Large over-allocation to fixed income already
- Past Fed QEs, a lack of normalization of Fed rates and easing by other central banks means that a large over-allocation already exists in fixed income while the underallocation in equities remains massive
- Additional easing by the ECB and BoJ by encouraging inflows into bonds will only exacerbate the over allocation to fixed income
Asynchronous easing behind decline in oil and flight from HY
- Asynchronous monetary easing by the ECB or BoJ while the Fed is on hold puts upward pressure on the dollar, downward pressure on oil prices and heightens credit concerns in the Energy, Metals and Mining sectors
- It is notable that the huge outflows from HY began to the day with the ECB’s adoption of negative rates in Jun 2014. Those outflows from HY moved into HG, ironically moving up not down the risk spectrum
- The risk to oil prices is somewhat tempered by the fact that oil prices are cheap to fair value and look to be pricing in the next leg of dollar strength
Asynchronous easing that is reflected in a higher dollar is reflected commensurately in the trade-weighted RMB
- By virtue of the near-peg to the US dollar, by early 2015 the trade-weighted RMB had risen along with the US dollar by 32% in trade-weighted terms and has been in a relatively narrow range since
- A variety of Chinese economic indicators have been strongly negatively correlated with the US dollar: Chinese data surprises (-42%); IP (-65%); and retail sales (-59%)
Further dollar strength raises the risk of a disorderly Chinese devaluation
- Asynchronous easing by the ECB and BOJ reflected in the US dollar and in turn the trade-weighted RMB increases the risk of a disorderly devaluation by China
- The risk of further declines in the JPY is tempered by the fact that it is already very cheap (-29%), but there is plenty of valuation room for the euro to fall
- The surprise BoJ easing in January prompted a paring of longs, while investors are unwinding short positions in the euro despite dovish rhetoric by the ECB
* * *
A few last words. Since DB, whose CDS has soared to very dangerous levels in recent days suggesting the market is suddenly concerned about its counterparty status, is effectively the Bundesbank, one can make the argument that any incremental easing by the jawboning Mario Draghi during the ECB's next meeting suddenly looks very precarious.
On the other hand if Draghi once again isolates Weidmann and does cut rates to -0.40% as the market has largely priced in, because the ECB head fulfills the desires of his former employer Goldman Sachs first and foremost, one would wonder if as we speculated last summer Deutsche Bank is not indeed the next Lehman, if for no other reason than Goldman has decided the German financial behemoth should be the next bank to fail, and unleash the next global taxpayer-funded bailout episode.

How to grow a successful social movement for sustainable and resilient communities
Mariana Ramirez wasn’t always involved in sustainability, in fact, quite the opposite. In 2013, Mariana moved from her home in Venezuela to Houston, Texas to work for a large oil corporation, where she ended up staying for four years. Something about the job didn’t sit right with her. “There was a lot of politics involved,” she said about the company. “It was tough…it was too much.”
In 2017, Mariana decided that it was time for a change, so she moved out to Miami to begin anew.
On her daily dog walks along the shoreline, Mariana noticed that litter would collect into larger and larger piles. She knew this couldn’t continue.
“I decided to switch my entire life….I needed to stop and rethink what I had been doing,” she told.
Using her social media influence as a fitness trainer, Mariana began organizing local community members for a beach cleanup. What began organically as a small group of friends picking up trash quickly became a weekly event that continued to grow in size.
Mariana’s passion for personal fitness instantly became a large component of the movement, now named Better Me Movement. Instead of just having people walk around and pick up trash, Mariana thought it would be more engaging if she added in a workout program alongside the cleanup process.
The idea took off. Now, Better Me has over 12,000 Instagram followers, and the movement continues to grow. Hundreds of people show up each month to help Mariana keep the movement running.
Mixing fitness and environmental service creates a win-win situation for participants; they’re bettering both their health and the environment. Better Me's workout & cleanup events occur twice-weekly all year long, but they also host an annual 5K when runners take a trash bag with them and pick up litter as they run.
REDUCE, REUSE, RE-SHOES
Moe Hachem took a different route in creating his movement, Sneaker Impact.
Since 1967, Moe’s family has been involved in the recycling and resale of shoes. It’s the only job Moe has ever had. “I was born on this, and I’ve never done anything else,” he told me when we met. In 2019, Moe decided to take his recycling program a step further.
Moe’s organization receives old, donated shoes from community members and businesses across Miami. Upon receiving the shoes, Sneaker Impact refurbishes them and then sells the shoes at a heavily-discounted rate to microbusinesses operating in countries with impoverished populations.
Since Moe already had connections in the textile industry, it wasn’t hard getting the movement up and running quickly. Within a matter of months, Sneaker Impact was already spreading its influence across Miami, and soon, Sneaker Impact donation bins could be found in cities like San Francisco, New York, and even across the ocean in London.
Moe’s business doesn’t stop at donating shoes. For every pair of shoes they receive, whether it be from a company or an individual, Sneaker Impact donates $1 to the charity of the donor’s choice.
PARTNERSHIP IN ACTION
Outside of logistics such as acquiring funding, sourcing equipment, or planning events, sustainable leaders have another resource to attend to: people.
“It’s difficult to convince people to commit to giving sneakers to Sneaker Impact. They still tend to throw their sneakers in the trash. It’s the most difficult part of our mission,” Moe told.
It’s one thing to convince someone that there’s a problem that needs to be solved. It’s another thing to convince them to do something about it. For Mariana, the toughest task is getting people to take care of the beaches in the first place.
“If you see trash on the street, eventually it will go to the ocean. People ask me how they can start helping. I ask, ‘Do you work on it at home?”
That’s the reason both Moe and Mariana go out of their way to educate their communities on the environmental impact of litter and waste. Better Me holds 15-20 minute sessions at the end of each event to educate volunteers on how our climate is impacted by unsustainable practices.
Sneaker Impact's approach to sustainable education involves a team of social media experts led by Miami native Alex Cruz. Alex posts on social media, does news conferences, and speaks with local community members, all to help his audience understand how dangerous shoes can be to the climate if they sit in landfills.
Both Sneaker Impact and Better Me Movement intend to help sustain a healthy earth and keep the climate under control, and the leaders of both movements know this can’t be done alone. Moe and Mariana expressed that, while bringing awareness to the issues they attack is key, awareness means nothing without action.
For Sneaker Impact, pairing with local companies is essential to keeping the shoe supply steady. Places like gyms, schools, and local clothing shops are perfect spots for shoe collection bins. Moe’s business partner Alex began Sneaker Impact’s ambassador program. Their main task is to help find business partners that are willing to set up a collection site at their company.
Better Me Movement partners with local restaurants and shops to help set up certain events and treat participants with complimentary food and drinks or parking.
BELIEVE IN THE GOOD
I asked both Moe and Mariana if they had any advice for people attempting to start their own social movements.
“Believe in the good in the world….in whichever platform you use to present your ideas and communicate with your audience, be sure to include how they can benefit from their side, while also being 100% transparent about your project and how it works, says Moe Hachem. “Have fun spreading your message, be creative, and work with others who can see your vision.”
Mariana Ramirez states: “It’s small things that we do in our everyday life. You can inspire by doing little things. You can change, and you can be the change.”
Anyone can see the good in the world. It takes someone with great leadership to see that good and organize it to make its impact more powerful.

Ehvah After is an unlikely romance between an American teen pop star who is past her use-by date and an Australian body guard. Ehvah and David meet in an idyllic location but under hazardous circumstances. Although from two completely different backgrounds, it turns out they have more in common than would be expected. It’s a bumpy journey as Ehvah and David navigate their pasts, their ambitions and their differences to find common ground.
Rose Dee creates surprising but believable contexts for her characters and therefore the obstacles they confronted are all the more interesting. Some of the issues raised in this book are post-traumatic stress, early childhood losses, and the inadequacy of wealth to solve problems. These are common issues in today’s society.
I enjoy Rose’s books because they are realistic portrayals of ordinary flawed people who make mistakes and have to live with the consequences. Also there is always more than just a romance happening and this one contains a good deal of mystery and drama. I like Rose’s Australian settings and encounters with the wildlife which adds appeal to the story.
Ehvah After has more spiritual content than Rose’s other books and this develops slowly through the book. This content explores the relevancy of faith to everyday life making it relatable and integral to the story.
Ehvah After is a good read – engaging and original.
With thanks to Rose for providing a free book for review.

Icelandic monster worm is real, says official panel
An official panel has declared that footage of an object moving through icy water does show a legendary Icelandic sea monster. The 13-strong Slate panel said that the video, which has been circulating since 2012, captures Lagarfljotsormur, a ‘monster worm’, moving beneath the surface of Lagarfljót lake, East Iceland. Other observers say the footage just shows a fishing net. Read more: ice news.is

ISR Director Reza Ghodssi (ECE/ISR) is one of three guest editors of the ?Special Proceeding? March 2010 issue of IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics. The issue focuses on energy harvesting from ambient energy resources. This field is emerging as a potential solution to conventional oil and gas resources and is especially suited for powering low-power electronic devices.
Alireza Khaligh of the Illinois Institute of Technology and Patrick Lyle Chapman of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign join Ghodssi as guest editors of this issue.
Several energy harvesting projects are ongoing in the A. James Clark School of Engineering.
A team led by ISR-affiliated Professor Neil Goldsman (ECE) has developed a novel circuit with excellent RF power harvesting efficiency that could make the recharge of portable wireless electronic devices off ambient RF energy sources feasible. A system using this circuit could operate indefinitely off of the RF energy in the environment due to cellular/television networks and wireless consumer electronics.
Researchers including Maryland NanoCenter Director Gary Rubloff (MSE/ISR) and his Ph.D. student Parag Banerjee are developing energy harvesting and energy storage devices using conventional semiconductor processes as well as self-assembled techniques for nano-fabrication.
In the MEMS Sensors and Actuators Laboratory, Ghodssi and his students are developing a vibration-capturing energy harvester that can dynamically adapt to the requirements of its environment. The harvester relies on resonance of a mass-spring system; motion in the resonator can be captured through piezoelectrics or a mechanically driven charge pump.

denada balcony design, 2018-02-15 19:42:25. There are some places in the home that need extreme protection. They are the balcony, staircase and other outdoor spaces in the home. Especially when you reside in older buildings, the balconies might not be safe for children. The barrier that gives protection and safety to the balcony is called a railing. The balcony railings are made either from wood or some metals like iron.

They come in many shapes like circles, oval, oblong, figure of eight, or just any fancy shape. The colour of the tiles being used too includes a myriad hue of blues and greens. Some artists have lent their creativity and made breath taking murals and mosaics based on related subjects like mermaids, the underwater scenery, fishes and other aquatic animals, or simply the waves of the seas.

It may seem like a lot of space to you but just imagine if a pool was in there. Close your eyes and imagine for a second what your first story would be like because don′t forget you have to have room to walk so measuring is definitely a good thing to take into consideration.
abigael house pool design, 2018-02-22 14:10:27. Having an inground pool installed may seem like an easy task, given that there are so many pool design and pool construction companies around. Not every pool contractor or pool builder is going to treat your installation as if it were their own. With thousands of pool designs and pool types to choose from, it is best to consult with a pool designer who not only has years of personal experience, but also one who cares about each individual job.

It does not have to be in that kind of shape at all especially if you do not have kids. You may would want it to be in the shape of your favorite flower or even in the shape of your house if your space is big enough to make it that big or it could be a mini version of your house. These are the kinds of things you′ll have to discuss together.

Youngsters are arriving late for class, distracted by mobile phones and MP3 players, and without their homework or even a pen, according to a survey conducted by the NASUWT teaching union.
More than two thirds (68%) of the over 8,000 teachers questioned said a lack of support from parents is one of the main causes of bad behaviour amongst pupils.
Almost half (44%) said pupils do not come to school ready to learn, while a similar proportion (43%) blamed indiscipline on low aspirations of children and their families.
A third (34%) blamed a lack of enforcement of school rules, while nearly one in four (23%) said it was due to the influence of TV, the media and video games.
More than three in five (62%) said pupils are unable to follow rules, while half (51%) said pupils do not arrive with the appropriate equipment and 61% reported children failing to bring in their homework.
Almost two fifths (38%) said pupils arrive late for school, while nearly half (46%) said youngsters are distracted by their mobiles because they are texting or taking photos. A further 28% said they have had pupils who were distracted by other electronic equipment.
NASUWT general secretary Chris Keates said: "Teachers are not receiving the support they need from parents, school leaders or government to assist them in maintaining high standards of pupil behaviour. Parents can't simply abandon their responsibilities at the school gate."
A Department for Education spokeswoman said: "Teachers can't teach effectively and pupils can't learn if schools are unable to keep order in the classroom. New guidance makes clear what powers teachers have and will give them confidence they can remove disruptive pupils and search children where necessary.
"We have appointed Charles Taylor as an Expert Adviser on Behaviour to help improve discipline in schools across the country."

Basically it goes like this: end of life/senior care is a very large percentage of medical spending. Unhealthy people don't live as long and die faster once their health deteriorates. So they actually cost less to the healthcare system than healthy people.

text: Proposition 87 sure got a lot of attention in the past few months, not least because high-profile venture capitalist (and clean tech enthusiast) Vinod Khosla threw his full weight behind it. Proposition 87 would have created a tax set at between 1.5% and 6% (depending on the price of the barrel of oil) on producers of oil extracted in California, and would have established, with the proceeds, a $4 billion fund to invest in alternative energy. Unfortunately for Khosla and his bunch, California voters defeated Proposition 87 at the ballot box on Tuesday. Unsurprisingly, this had no impact on the market value of the alternative energy sector on Wednesday. Unsurprisingly because California remains one of the hottest, if not the hottest, alternative energy spots in the world, Proposition 87 or not. Only a few weeks ago, the California Legislature passed bill SB107 requiring investor-owned utilities to achieve a 20% renewable electricity portfolio by 2011. This represents one of the most ambitious such targets in the world, moving the 20% goal, which already existed under another program, from 2017 to 2011. What’s more, SB107 allows, for the first time, trading of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) between power producers, introducing a necessary layer of flexibility and efficiency in the system. This could be one of the most important such initiatives in the US, covering upwards of 10,000 MW. Beyond this, the US just moved ahead of Spain to become the single most attractive market for renewable energy in the world according to the Q3 2006 edition of the Ernst & Young Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness Index (warning, PDF). One of the key factors outlined by Ernst & Young in awarding the whole nation the top spot is the recently-passed AB 32 (warning, PDF), California’s very own climate change legislation. When looking at the US as an alternative energy market, California weighs more than any other jurisdiction, not least because of the sheer size of its economy. So the alternative energy investor really doesn’t need to worry about Proposition 87. It would have been, in the long run, a drop in the bucket. California is on the right track, and other states will surely follow – set the appropriate regulatory framework with the right price signals, and cunning investors and smart clean tech entrepreneurs will do the rest.

Monday’s episode of 90 Day: The Last Resort saw an emotional Kalani break down as she revealed just how long Asuelu has kept up his scandalous ways.
“Once a cheater, always a cheater,” is an unofficial saying that many people view as a fact. While not always accurate, there is certainly some truth to it. For Asuelu, that saying just might be a way of life. In the most recent episode of 90 Day: The Last Resort, Asuelu’s sordid past was put on display for all to see. Fighting through tears during their therapy session, Kalani finally revealed the extent of Asuelu’s cheating while talking to a producer.
“Basically since the beginning of Asuelu and I’s relationship, he’s cheated the whole time. So when we were dating, when I was pregnant, before he came here, like what three years into our marriage, and then now so it’s just been this pattern,” Kalani said during her emotional confession. “So how do you forgive someone for something they keep doing?”
Asuelu’s Scandalous Ways Have Finally Caught Up To Him
Kalani’s bombshell of a confession may have been hard to hear for some, but it appears to have been a weight lifted off of Kalani’s chest. She reveals that multiple women have been involved with Asuelu. A fact that she was willing to overlook for the sake of love. “I stayed with him because I was pregnant. I did it because I thought we would be together forever. So feeling my feelings just die… I just never wanted this to happen,” Kalani said.
Despite the fact that Kalani was able to look past Asuelu’s scandalous ways in the past, it appears that a romantic bridge between the two has been forever burned. Asuelu’s latest infidelity resulted in him giving her a hall pass, which Kalani eventually accepted. Since that moment, Kalani has admitted that she is no longer sexually attracted to Asuelu. In fact, she even revealed that she has romantic feelings for the other man she became involved with.
“I honestly just feel grossed out,” Kalani said. “I just think of his penis with somebody else so that just disgusts me and I don’t want to do anything else. When I found out what happened, I just blocked out love to him because I’m afraid of being hurt.”
Too Little Too Late
In their latest therapy session, Kalani stated that Asuelu has been giving her his full and undivided attention. Something which she has craved for years. But as of now, friendship is the only thing on her mind when it comes to him. Even during the couple’s Kama Sutra class, Kalani said she felt like she was hanging out with someone who was just a friend. She admitted that she felt as if she was completely sexually closed off to Asuelu.
Asuelu acknowledged his shortcomings in the couple’s relationship. “I feel like I’ve done a lot of bad things in our relationship and I really want to work on myself. I need to treat my wife better,” Asuelu said. The couple’s current situation is a far cry from when viewers were first introduced to them back in 2018.
Even with Asuelu’s newfound dedication to Kalani, it appears that she has moved on from their romantic relationship. His scandalous ways just might be too much for the couple to overcome.

Freegames2.org Website Load Time
Website load time is an important factor, because Google is taking the site’s loading speed into consideration in determining its ranking. Even though this will not have a big impact, it is still something we (webmasters) should really look into. The reason is pretty simple – the majority of visitors are usually in a rush and no one is fond of waiting half a century before the website finally loads its content or fails to load. At the last check on 2014-03-13, website load time was 18.23. The highest load time is 18.23, the lowest load time is 18.23, the average load time is 18.23.

Spending a few days in St. Louis with her sister’s family, Dorothy Lynn discovers a whole new way of life—movies, music, dancing; daring fashions and fancy cars. And a dynamic charismatic evangelist . . . who just happens to be a woman. When Dorothy Lynn is offered a chance to join Aimee Semple McPherson’s crusade team, she finds herself confronted with temptations she never dreamed of. Can Dorothy Lynn embrace all the Roaring Twenties has to offer without losing herself in the process?
Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers
Publication date: 2/1/2013
Series: All For Series , #1
Edition description: Reprint
My Review: I wasn't sure how I was going to like this book when I first started it. I actually started and stopped this book, twice, before picking it up to read it again; not because it was boring, but because I wasn't sure how I would feel about it once I got into the story. I worried for nothing. This is the first book I've read written in this time period (I think), and I wasn't disappointed. From the moment Dorothy Lynn comes running home, I was captured. The story was impeccably written, switching from present day to past seamlessly. The descriptions of the characters and their emotions and feelings swept me away and I felt as if I was actually part of the story.
Dorothy Lynn Dunbar is an exciting character. She is simple and pure and honest and refreshing all at once. The author does a fantastic job of portraying Dorothy's emotions and feelings throughout the story. So much so that I could sympathize with her and could feel her confusion as she faces things she never dreamed she'd face. Roland Lundi and Brent Logan represent two sides of Dorothy's story. Each are equally intriguing, and provide fantastic secondary characters for Dorothy's interactions.
This story, written as a kind of prodigal son story, has some deep truths imbedded within. I loved the scripture that was quoted at the beginning of each present day Dorothy's parts. As the author states, "All for a Song is ultimately a story of longing, of searching for what you think you lack." Cheering Dorothy on as she faces temptation head on with the Love of Christ at her side, weeping with her as she finds herself and the feeling of God's grace, and longing to return home with her will keep you turning the pages to find out what she does.
I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in the series, All for a Story, as soon as I can!
About the Author: Award-winning author Allison Pittman has penned more than twelve novels, including her series set in the Roaring Twenties—All for a Song, All For a Story, and All for a Sister. Allison resides in San Antonio, Texas, with her husband, Mike, their three sons, and the canine star of the family—Stella.

Looking for a fresh twist on a literature unit? For several years, I’ve been incorporating banned books lessons into my high school English curriculum. Why? For one, it allows me to implement choice reading. Also, it’s one of the most engaging units for my students. Whenever I can make reading engaging, I jump at the opportunity.
For good reason, teachers might be hesitant about mentioning “banned books” in the classroom. However, I think there’s a huge misconception when it comes to literature that’s been censored. It’s not just books like 50 Shades of Grey that have earned a bad rap. Many people might be surprised to learn about this list of censored texts:
- The Adventures of Captain Underpants – Banned for insensitivity and being unsuited to age group, as well as encouraging children to disobey.
- Where’s Waldo? – Banned because in one of the pictures, the side of a female is exposed.
- Where the Sidewalk Ends – Banned for promoting cannibalism and for promoting that children break dishes.
- Little Red Riding Hood – Banned because Little Red Riding Hood was depicted as carrying a bottle of wine in her basket.
- The Diary of Anne Frank – Banned for certain “sexually offensive” passages and because it might be “depressing” for young readers.
- Lord of the Flies – Banned for being “demoralizing, in that it implies that man is little more than an animal.”
- Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – Banned in the ’60s because its mushroom and hookah imagery reflected the drug culture of the era. Later, in the ’90s, it was banned in New Hampshire for promoting “sexual fantasies.” Chinese officials in the ’30s perceived a problem with the book’s depiction of talking animals, considering it “disastrous to put animals and human beings on the same level.”
- Fahrenheit 451 – Banned for anti-government advocacy.
- The Merriam Webster Dictionary – Banned for including the definition of oral sex.
- Where the Wild Things Are: Banned for traumatizing children with the thought that a mother as primary caregiver could send her child to bed without breakfast.
Every September, I look forward to Banned Books Week. I teach in a relatively conservative community. Banned books are not something I push my students to read with an agenda. Rather, I like to take the opportunity to educate students about literary censorship and intellectual freedom. These are new concepts for the majority of my freshmen. It’s so important to open their eyes to the fact that literary censorship happens across the world.
While banned books are a touchy subject for many, teachers can introduce them in a way that is culturally sensitive for any community. No matter what district you’re in, there are ways you can teach students about censorship to make them more well-rounded citizens. These lesson plan ideas would work for any time during the school year. I just like to capitalize on Banned Books Week to bring awareness that it even exists.
WAYS TO INCORPORATE LESSONS ON BANNED BOOKS
- Incorporate them as part of a genre study.
- Use them as options in literature circles, book clubs, or other independent reading programs.
- Have students read one and write an essay arguing whether or not it should be banned. Other possible essay topics: Do books have the power to sway beliefs and behavior? Do authors have a responsibility to write content that is clean and age-appropriate for young adult audiences?
- Debate whether or not books should be governed by the same type of rating system as books and movies.
- Ask students to research and explore literary censorship throughout history and across the world. They can jigsaw their findings.
- Students can interview school administrators, librarians, school board members, and parents to gather information about book banning and challenging in your district.
- Discuss censorship as you study classic literature that has been banned and challenged, including many of Shakespeare’s plays and famous novels like To Kill a Mockingbird.
- Have students explore their right to read as it relates to the First Amendment.
- Assign a web quest that allows students to research and explore various aspects of censorship.
- Complete a KWLS chart about banned books. You’ll be surprised at how very little your students actually know. Don’t have one? Try this.
TIPS FOR TREADING LIGHTLY WITH CENSORSHIP
When covering banned and challenged books in the classroom, especially in a conservative community, it’s helpful to ride the fence. Don’t take a stand for or against literary censorship. Instead, allow students to learn the facts and make their own decisions.
Involve parents. Keep them informed about your lessons and their importance. Ask them to provide a signature for the banned or challenged book their child wants to read. Keep in mind…most books have been banned or challenged, but people are often unaware of this fact. If you are asking a student to read a book because it has been censored, it’s important to gain parental permission.
Remember that everyone has different life experiences and backgrounds, which could make some students more sensitive to certain topics than others. In the past, I’ve asked students and their parents to fill out a survey in which I ask them if there are any topics they would prefer to avoid. Rarely do I get these requests, but they happen.
Be tasteful. While many banned and challenged books are harmless, there are others that truly are inappropriate for certain age groups. When literary censorship is covered in the classroom, teachers need to keep in mind that even high school students are impressionable and need adult guidance.
However you choose to approach it, teaching students about banned books is an excellent way to open their eyes to the truth. While literary censorship can certainly be beneficial for adolescents in some circumstances, raising up a generation of teenagers who is completely unaware of its existence is a dangerous road.
Have you taught your classes about censorship in the past? What are your favorite ways for engaging students with banned and challenged books?

Days after announcing his retirement from international soccer, members of the Argentina national soccer team are asking Lionel Messi to reconsider.
Messi, the 35-year-old forward, announced his retirement from international competition after his team won the World Cup in a 4-2 penalty shootout following a 3-3 nailbiting cup final in Qatar against France.
Even if Messi doesn’t make an immediate decision, Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister and the rest of the squad still want him around in some capacity. The World Cup champions will be defending the trophy in 2026, where the World Cup will be in various locations in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.
“We don’t want him to leave the national team,” Mac Allister said. “He said [this] was going to be his last World Cup, but we don’t want that. We want him to stay with us. He knows it. So let’s see what happens.”
Mac Allister played a key role in Messi’s crowning glory, with an assist to Angel Di Maria for the team’s memorable second goal against France before forcing action to extra time and penalties.
“He deserves it,” Mac Allister said. “It was the only trophy he was missing and now he has it. I’m really glad to be part of this, to help him and the team to get that trophy.”
Mac Allister has been taking direct advice from Messi during this World Cup. Both were instrumental in Argentina’s crucially important 2-0 win against Mexico in the second group. The team’s only loss in the competition was a 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia.
“There was one moment against Mexico when Messi was not touching the ball as he wanted, so he was playing a bit deeper,” Mac Allister said. “When he went deeper, he told me to go higher and receive the ball in the pocket. So he helped me to understand the game, to know where to receive the ball, and we had a very good connection throughout the World Cup.”
While Mac Allister returned to Brighton to a hero’s welcome, the 24-year-old is available for Tuesday night’s game against Everton.
Meanwhile, Messi’s current contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is currently set to expire in June. In the contract Messi signed with PSG in 2021, there is a one-year option the team could exercise. However, PSG officials have not given any indication of exercising this option.
Rumors surrounding the summer transfer window are indicating that Messi could leave European soccer for the American Major League Soccer organization. Sources close to the situation are citing a ‘likely’ deal that Inter Miami could sign him to a lucrative deal that could potentially make him the highest-paid player in MLS history.
Inter Miami is co-owned by former professional soccer player David Beckham and construction magnates Jorge and Jose Mas.

In this study, the optimization of Cu CMP performance (dishing) for removing thick Cu plating overburden due to Cu plating for deep TSVs in a 300mm wafer is investigated. Also, backside isolation oxide CMP for TSV Cu exposure is discussed. In order to obtain a minimum Cu dishing on the TSV region, a proper selection of Cu slurries is proposed for the current two-step Cu polishing process. The bulk of Cu is removed with the slurry of high Cu removal rate at the first step and the Cu surface is planarized with the slurry of high Cu passivation capability at the second step. The Cu dishing can be improved up to 97% for the 10μm-diameter TSVs on a 300mm wafer. The dishing/erosion of the metal/oxide can be reduced with respect to a correspondingly-optimized Cu plating overburden for TSVs and RDLs. Cu metal dishing can be drastically reduced once the Cu overburdens are increased to a critical thickness. For backside isolation oxide CMP for TSV Cu exposure, the results show that the Cu studs of TSVs with a bigger via size still keep in a plateau-like shape after CMP.

In March 2018 a 'CityTree' was installed on London's Glasshouse Street, near Piccadilly Circus to highlight the risks of air pollution. This coincided with the publication of a joint report by four Parliamentary select committees which concluded that UK air pollution causes 40,000 deaths and costs the economy £20 billion a year.
Green City Solutions, Proambiente and the Italian city of Modena joined forces in Spring 2017 to initiate the ‘CityTree Scaler’; a project supported by Climate-KIC Germany (the biggest EU innovation initiative for climate-friendly technologies). The consortium was formed to prove the effectiveness of a new smart biotechnological filter for tackling urban air pollution.
The consortium have also installed six CityTrees on the most polluted street in Modena.
Developed by German start-up, Green City Solutions, CityTrees combine cutting-edge internet of things (IoT) technology with moss cultures and plants that ‘eat’ air pollution. They claim that a CityTree has the same environmental impact as 275 urban trees but requires only 3 sq. m of space.
The sculptural structures contain plants capable of removing dust, nitrogen dioxide and ozone from the air. The units are also remarkably self-sufficient. IoT sensors measure environmental data, and solar panel technology and a rainwater collecting system, mean that the nutrition, water and minerals required by the plants can be regulated automatically, requiring only a few hours maintenance a year.
The technology behind the CityTree is a result of more than a decade’s research at the Dresden University of Technology, Lancaster University and University of Bonn. It is hoped that the project will prove CityTrees offset 240 tonnes of CO2 equivalents a year.
Victor Splittgerber, CTO and co-founder of Green City Solutions, said: “The project will help us to obtain important insights of the effectiveness of our smart plant filters. The results will help us to prove the estimated results of the laboratory tests. We see the CityTree as an essential part of future environmental urban planning. Therefore the next logical step is the testing over a longer period under real urban conditions."
