South Yorkshire Police Chief Suspended Over Hillsborough Response

The chief constable of South Yorkshire Police has been suspended following the results of an inquest into the Hillsborough disaster.

On Tuesday jurors revealed their verdict that the 96 victims of the tragedy were unlawfully killed.

As reported by the BBC, David Crompton admitted in 2012 that ‘grave errors’ were made, and he apologised ‘profoundly’.

Hours prior to the announcement of Crompton’s suspension the force issued a statement explaining coroner, Sir John Goldring, ruled ‘to admit the previous 2012 apology by the Chief Constable into proceedings would be ‘wrong’ and ‘highly prejudicial’.

Crompton reportedly apologised again after the verdict was revealed.

Jurors not only found the 96 Liverpool fans were unlawfully killed, but that police failings were involved.

Unilever launches waste management project, sets 2025 circular economy target

waste management project 1 waste management project4 waste management project3 waste management project2

Leading consumer goods company Unilever East Africa, in partnership with waste management service provider Mr Green, has unveiled a “U-Turn waste project” through which it aims to achieve a key sustainability target of creating a circular economy for all its packaging materials, especially plastic.

The move is in line with the company’s ambition of reducing its environmental impact as it progresses on the journey to ensure that 100 percent of its plastic packaging is designed to be fully reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025.

The initiative is designed to create an end market for the material, with the overall aim being to align with the global firm’s commitment of increasing recycled plastic content in its packaging to at least 25 per cent by 2025.

Justin Apsey, Unilever CEO for East Africa said the plastic packaging target builds on the existing Unilever Sustainable Living Plan commitment of reducing the weight of its packaging by one third by 2020, and halving the waste associated with the disposal of products by 2020. He added that the move clearly demonstrates the firm’s responsibility to consumers and to the environment through such innovations in waste management.

“Today we have started an ambitious journey towards a circular economy for our plastic packaging, we commit to lead the way in driving a systemic and behaviour change among our peers and consumers towards creating a sustainable and clean environment for future generations.” said Mr. Apsey during a ceremony to officially unveil the project.

The zero waste to landfill target forms a key element of Unilever’s sustainable growth ambition. Nairobi produces around 2,400 tonnes of waste a day, of which roughly 60 percent is collected and only around 10 percent recycled. The rest is dumped illegally or burned. Eliminating this waste has resulted in 70 direct jobs at Mr. Green and provided opportunity for another 1700 waste collectors.

Reducing waste at source remains the number one priority, coupled with Unilever and its project partners finding innovative solutions for any remaining waste.

"We are excited to launch this new project with Unilever Kenya," said Keiran Smith, Founder and CEO Mr Green Africa. "This partnership has seen us unlock sustainable solutions to plastic waste management in Kenya, integrating a social component which has helped create more opportunities and employment to hundreds of waste pickers who were previously ignored.

“By providing a valued customer like Unilever Kenya with the tools to divert waste from landfills and to reduce waste generation through improved supply chain management, we can help to lower their disposal costs without sacrificing our own profitability. That is a win for Unilever Kenya, a win for us, and most of all, a win for the environment," said Mr Smith.

Our Second Baby Has Arrived

Sorry for the lack of newsletters at the end of last week, we were a little busy having a new baby. 🙂

I’m proud to announce the arrival of our second child, Logan Cain, who made his appearance on Thursday, December 4 at 1:27 pm. He was originally supposed to arrive on December 24, so we were a little surprised when Katrina went into labour three weeks early. So far, he’s been a little angel, sleeping well and barely crying – unless we’re too slow with the feeding.

It goes without saying that Universe Today could be a little sporadic over the next few weeks while we settle into our new routines.

Thanks for your understanding.

Called up capital (or called up share capital) is the part of share capital a company requires its shareholders to pay. It's different from paid-up capital, which is the payment a shareholder has already made to a company for shares and stock.

Called up Capital Overview

Typically, companies don't ask for the full amount of shares to be paid at once. They often call for partial payments during allotment. The amount of shares companies call for as partial payment is what is referred to as called up share capital. Companies issue shares in this manner to sell their shares to potential shareholders on relaxed terms, which can potentially raise the sum of equity obtainable by a business.

If a company receives full payments for called up capital from its shareholders, the called up capital and the paid-up capital will be equal. However, because of defaulting investors who don't pay as they should, a company's called up share capital doesn't equal its paid-up capital.

The moment a shareholder pays an issuing entity the complete amount due for issued shares, the shares are said to be issued, called up, and fully paid. However, that isn't the same as registering the shares, which would qualify the shareholder to sell them to another party. The registration process requires the issuer to register the shares with the governmental overseeing body, which takes a long process of application and continued public reporting of the issuer's financial results.

Share Capital

The moment a shareholder pays completely for called up share capital, it's common for the shares to be deemed part of a total number of outstanding shares that have no further description of their earlier status. The fund a company raises, which is exchanged for different kinds of stock (preferred share and common), make up the share capital of the company. A company's amount of equity financing or share capital can change with time.

If a company decides to generate more equity, it can acquire authorization to allot and sell more shares in order to increase its share capital. A company's share capital is solely raised through the original sale of the company's shares to shareholders. It doesn't include the shares that are sold in a different market after allotment.

Authorized Share Capital

Authorized share capitals are the maximum amounts of share capitals companies are authorized to generate. This restriction is spelled out in a company's constitutional records and can be altered only with its shareholders' approval. For a publicly traded company to market stock, it has to specify the limit of the share capital amount it is authorized to generate. Typically, a company doesn't issue the complete measure of its authorized share capital. The company reserves some of it for potential future use.

Issued Share Capital

The sum of the value of shares elected by a company for sale is referred to as the issued share capital. That means the company may choose to issue only a portion of the whole share capital with the intention of allotting more shares later. Generally, the amount of issued share capital is a lot lower than the authorized share capital. That way, the business can issue additional shares later.

Not all the shares may be bought right away. Again, the par value of the allotted capital can't be more than the financial worth of the authorized capital. The company's paid share capital is the sum of the par value of the shares it sells. That's what people generally refer to when they talk of share capital.

Paid-up Capital

The sum of money a company gets as payment from its shareholders for its stock is the paid-up capital of the company. The cost of a stock's share comprises two bits — a par value and an extra premium paid, which is higher than the par value. A sum of the par value of shares sold is recorded as common stock, whereas the leftover is allocated to the extra paid-up capital account.

A company that uses up huge chunks of equity finances can bear lesser amounts of debt than a company that doesn't. The following are the advantageous qualities of a company with lower debt-equity ratios than its industry's average:

  • It shows expert financial resource management
  • It possesses reduced debt burdens
  • It's potentially a good candidate for investment

Ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate: histogenesis, biology and clinicopathological features

Ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate (DAC) is recognised as a subtype of prostatic adenocarcinoma, but its diagnostic criteria and biology remain controversial. DAC was first thought to stem from Müllerian duct remnants, but further studies suggest a prostatic origin. DAC is composed of tall, columnar, pseudostratified epithelium with a papillary, cribriform, glandular or solid architecture. The diagnosis is based on morphology alone with papillary architecture being the most helpful diagnostic feature. The tumour is rare in a pure form and most cases are combined with acinar adenocarcinoma. The most common differential diagnoses of DAC are intraductal carcinoma of the prostate and high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia. Patients often present at an advanced clinicopathological stage. High rates of extra-prostatic extension, seminal vesicle invasion, local and regional metastases, and positive surgical margins are seen after radical prostatectomy. DAC metastasises to sites that are less commonly seen for prostate cancer such as lung, brain, testis and penis. The morphology and the unusual metastatic locations make the accurate diagnosis of metastases challenging, but a positive immunostain for prostate specific markers may be helpful. The correct identification of DAC has implications for treatment as well as outcome.

Gameday Report: September 8, Week 26

By Staff, 09/08/18, 9:41PM EDT

San Antonio, Saint Louis take big victories; Anhaeuser gets win No. 200 as Battery down Rowdies

Photo courtesy Darren Abate / San Antonio FC

1. Victories by both San Antonio FC and Saint Louis FC on Saturday night made the race for the Western Conference far tighter than it had been at the start of the night, with four teams now separated by one point between sixth and ninth place at the end of Saturday’s action. San Antonio’s 3-2 victory against Phoenix Rising FC at Toyota Field saw the hosts rack up a third consecutive win, and two victories this week against the top two teams in the conference. Meanwhile Saint Louis’ 1-0 win against Reno 1868 FC didn’t get the hosts at Toyota Stadium – Saint Louis into the top eight but did move Head Coach Anthony Pulis’ side level on points with 1868 FC as the race continued to play out in fascinating fashion.

2. It had been a little while coming, but Charleston Battery Head Coach Mike Anhaeuser got to celebrate his 200th victory on the club’s sideline on Saturday night at MUSC Health Stadium thanks to a 1-0 victory against the Tampa Bay Rowdies that the hosts claimed despite missing some of their key players. In the absence of leading scorer Ataulla Guerra – who continued his outstanding form while on international duty with Trinidad & Tobago on Thursday – it was Patrick Okonkwo who stepped up and provided the winner as the Battery solidified their top-four position in the Eastern Conference.

3. Real Monarchs SLC was unable to take advantage of Phoenix Rising FC’s earlier loss in San Antonio as it too capitulated in Texas in a 2-1 defeat to Rio Grande Valley FC at H-E-B Park that saw FC Cincinnati move even closer to clinching the USL Regular Season Championship despite the abandonment of its game with Louisville City FC in the 38th minute earlier in the evening. The Monarchs were going well as Konrad Plewa opened the scoring and Maikel Chang hit the post before halftime, but then the Toros staged an impressive fightback on home turf that saw Aldo Quintanilla and Todd Wharton both find the net to move Real to 0-5-1 in its last six road games, and its first three-game losing streak since the middle of the 2016 season.

LAS VEGAS – The LA Galaxy II rallied from an early deficit to take a 2-1 victory against Las Vegas Lights FC at Cashman Field. Daigo Kobayashi almost put the hosts ahead in the fifth minute as he was unable to lift his finish over Los Dos goalkeeper Justin Vom Steeg, but Omar Salgado struck five minutes later as he his shot proved too hot to handle and bounced into the right side of the net. The Galaxy II hit back in the 21st minute after Miguel Aguilar was brought down in the penalty area and Ariel Lassiter scored from the spot to even the game up. Six minutes later Lassiter set up Efrain Alvarez with a scooped pass that the 16-year-old finished off with a looping finish from the right side of the penalty area to put Los Dos ahead, and Lassiter almost added a third in the 58th minute on a counterattack chance that was parried by Lights FC goalkeeper Ricardo Ferriño. Las Vegas almost replied nine minutes later as Juan Carlos Garcia’s header was tipped just over the crossbar by Vom Steeg, while Efrain Alvarez missed out on a chance to add his second with a shot that hit the crossbar after good work by Sheanon Williams in the 71st minute. Las Vegas got the chance to level from the penalty spot with a minute to go but Carlos Alvarez had his low shot saved by Vom Steeg to keep the visitors ahead, and that proved enough for Los Dos to take their second victory of the week. Man of the Match
Efrain Alvarez, LA Galaxy II
– Alvarez scored the winning goal and also hit the crossbar as he earned family bragging rights over Lights FC’s Carlos thanks to his side’s victory.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Sacramento Republic FC took a comfortable 3-0 victory against Seattle Sounders FC 2 at Papa Murphy’s Park. Sacramento’s Hayden Partain and Seattle’s Alfonso Ocampo Chavez both had chances saved within a minute of each other in the early stages, but Republic FC took the lead in the 20th minute on Cameron Iwasa’s 13th goal of the season as he seized on a through-ball by Villyan Bijev to slot home past the advancing goalkeeper. Bijev also set up Republic FC’s second goal on the night in the 58th minute as he wove past his marker and set up Christian Eissele for a tap-in finish at the top of the six-yard area off a low cross from the left, while Eissele converted from the penalty spot in the 64th minute after being brought down by S2’s Tony Alfaro, who was sent off to reduce the visitors to 10 men. Despite the man-disadvantage S2 earned a penalty kick with 13 minutes to go only for Sacramento goalkeeper Josh Cohen to make a diving save on David Estrada in the left corner, and that allowed the hosts to wrap up all three points to move closer to the top three in the Western Conference. Man of the Match
Villyan Bijev, Sacramento Republic FC
– Bijev notched a pair of assists and recorded four shots overall while also working effectively in midfield as the hosts claimed a solid victory.

IRVINE, Calif. – Orange County SC scored twice in stoppage time to earn a stunning 3-2 comeback victory over OKC Energy FC to go top of the Western Conference Saturday at Champions Soccer Stadium at OC Great Park. The two sides traded chances early on with Energy FC’s Hugh Alexander Dixon firing a right-footed effort wide in the 10th minute, before OCSC’s Aodhan Quinn responded with a header off target two minutes later. Energy FC was gifted a golden opportunity to take the lead in the 19th minute when Dixon was tripped in the penalty area by OCSC defender Jos Hooiveld. Midfielder Philip Rasmussen stepped up to take the spot kick and sent goalkeeper Andre Rawls the wrong way to open the scoring, but the lead didn’t last long as Michael Seaton headed Aodhan Quinn’s corner kick past OKC goalkeeper Bryan Byars four minutes later to level the contest at 1-1. Byars was called into action again four minutes before halftime and responded with a Save of the Week contender as he sprawled across his goal to keep out Quinn’s first-time shot with his right hand. Four minutes after the break, Seaton nearly got his second for OCSC but saw his right-footed shot come back off of the post. Marco Bustos helped Energy FC regain the lead against the run of play in the 64th minute when he scooped a pass to Dixon behind the OCSC defense and the striker kept his cool and passed the ball into the back of the net. Adam John probably should’ve doubled the lead for OKC five minutes later when he skipped past an onrushing Rawls at the top of the box, but his touch took him too close to the endline to tuck the ball into the empty net. That miss nearly cost Energy FC three minutes later as Giovanni Ramos Godoy struck the outside of the post with a lunging try, but the home side weren’t done applying pressure to Byars’ goal just yet. Darwin Jones forced the OKC goalkeeper into a low save in the 86th minute and Byars stood strong again at his near post to deny Hooiveld three minutes later, but the equalizer finally came in the third minute of stoppage time as Noah Powder curled home a free kick from 22 yards out. It looked like the two sides were destined to split the points until Quinn rifled a shot from distance that found its way past an outstretched Byars and into the bottom corner to give the home side a stunning victory. Man of the Match

Aodhan Quinn, Orange County SC – Quinn registered an assist on the game’s first goal before finding the back of the net himself from nearly 30 yards out in stoppage time to send OCSC to the top of the Western Conference.

EDINBURG, Texas – Rio Grande Valley FC rallied from a halftime deficit to take a 2-1 victory against Real Monarchs SLC at H-E-B Park. The Monarchs threatened in the 14th minute from a corner kick on the right as Konrad Plewa had a header saved by Toros goalkeeper Tyler Deric at the back post, while Sebastian Saucedo also forced a good save by Deric 11 minutes later with a curling free kick from 30 yards that went toward the top-left corner. Plewa scored from the ensuing corner, however, as he powered home a header from Saucedo’s delivery that left Deric little chance. The Monarchs almost doubled their lead in the 38th minute when Maikel Chang hit the left post with a curling finish, but as the second half opened the Toros got out on the front foot as Aldo Quintanilla produced a low save by Monarchs goalkeeper Jake Leeker with a turning shot in the 57th minute. RGVFC leveled with 19 minutes to go on a low finish from a corner by Quintanilla as he flicked home Todd Wharton’s delivery from the right, and Wharton then gave the hosts the lead seven minutes later with a free kick that found the right corner. The Toros twice almost added to their lead as Leeker had to make good late saves on Jesus Enriquez and Bryce Marion to keep the Monarchs’ within a goal, but while Real’s Adam Henley had a shot go high in stoppage time the Monarchs were unable to find a response as their road winless streak reached six games. Man of the Match
Aldo Quintanilla, Rio Grande Valley FC
– Quintanilla lead the Toros’ fightback in the second half, scoring the first goal and recording four key passes and seven shots total for the hosts.

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio FC earned its third consecutive victory and jumped into the Western Conference playoff places with a 3-2 win over Phoenix Rising FC at Toyota Field. The visitors controlled the early part of the contest with Solomon Asante firing the game’s first chance high and wide in the sixth minute before Rising FC opened the scoring nine minutes later when Chris Cortez headed home Asante’s delivery from a corner kick. San Antonio equalized seven minutes later from a corner kick of its own with Cyprian Hedrick heading Lance Laing’s inch-perfect cross past Phoenix goalkeeper Zac Lubin and into the top right corner. San Antonio snatched the lead in the 33rd minute when midfielder Mike Seth won the ball in the attacking third and played Ever Guzmán in on goal with a nifty pass, leaving the striker to slot home his eighth goal of the season. San Antonio extended its advantage five minutes after the break when Laing converted from the penalty spot beating Lubin to his left-hand side after Cortez had barged into the back of Connor Presley just outside of the six-yard box. Rising FC thought it got a goal back in the 73rd minute when Amadou Dia’s cross struck a SAFC defender and deflected into the net, but the linesman adjudged Dia to be offside when he collected the ball from teammate Billy Forbes. Phoenix came close again eight minutes later when Saad Abdul-Salaam had his header cleared off the goalline by Maxi Rodriguez, but Rising FC finally cut the deficit to 3-2 with three minutes remaining as Cortez fired a brilliant free kick around the SAFC wall and into the bottom left corner for his club-record 15th goal of the season. The goal turned out to be mere consolation for Cortez as he, Asante and Forbes wasted chances for Rising FC in stoppage time, ensuring SAFC knocked off the top team in the Western Conference for the second time this week. Man of the Match

Lance Laing, San Antonio FC – Laing recorded a goal and an assist for the third consecutive match and his second-half penalty proved to be the winner as SAFC secured another three points.

SAINT LOUIS FC (1), RENO 1868 FC (0)

FENTON, Mo. – Saint Louis FC boosted its playoff chances as Kyle Greig’s goal earned a 1-0 victory against Reno 1868 FC at Toyota Stadium – Saint Louis. Saint Louis’ Wal Fall had the first real chance of the game in the 15th minute as his close-range header from a free kick was saved by Reno goalkeeper J.T. Marcinkowski, and three minutes later STLFC’s Kadeem Dacres had a curling shot comfortably handled. Greig almost put the hosts ahead in the 27th minute as Marcinkowski got down well to deny his effort from the right side of the penalty area, but moments later Greig was able to turn on a low cross from the left by Austin Martz and volleyed home a powerful finish to open the scoring. Reno’s Brian Brown came close to an equalizer early in the second half with a header that was turned just wide of the right post by STLFC goalkeeper Tomas Gomez, but the visitors were then reduced to 10 men as Jordan Murrell was sent off for his second yellow card. Greig almost added a second for the hosts on the hour-mark with a near-post flick of a corner kick from the right that Marcinkowski did well to keep out, and the 1868 FC goalkeeper did well again in the 71st minute to tip high a shot by Audi Jepson from the left side of the penalty area. Reno had a half-chance in stoppage time for Paul Marie that Gomez punched to safety, but Saint Louis closed out all three points to tighten the playoff race in the Western Conference. Man of the Match
Kyle Greig, Saint Louis FC
– Greig’s 12th goal of the season proved the winner, but the forward also won 15 of 24 duels on the night to lead the line well throughout for the hosts.

CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Charleston Battery got a first-half goal by Patrick Okonkwo to take a 1-0 victory against the Tampa Bay Rowdies at MUSC Health Stadium. The teams exchanged goals early, but the Battery opened the scoring in the 22nd minute when Okonkwo got in behind the Rowdies defense on a pass by Ian Svantesson and fired low into the left corner of the net from the top of the penalty area. The Rowdies almost leveled as a clever free kick released Leo Fernandes down the left for a low cross that Sebastian Guenzatti just turned wide of the near post 10 minutes before halftime, but the Battery’s defense held firm as the Rowdies continued to seek an equalizer in the second half. Guenzatti had a pair of chances six minutes apart in the final 20 minutes as he first had a header from a corner kick blocked and cleared, and then sent a header over the crossbar under pressure from his marker at close range. The Rowdies’ last chance also fell to Guenzatti, but his header slid wide and Charleston held on to take its second home shutout victory against the Rowdies this season. Man of the Match
Patrick Okonkwo, Charleston Battery
– Okonkwo produced a fine finish for the only goal of the game and put in a strong shift otherwise, making four tackles and winning 10 duels.

PENN FC (1), ATL UTD 2 (2)

HARRISBURG, Pa. – ATL UTD 2 scored twice in the first half to take a 2-1 victory against Penn FC at FNB Field for its second consecutive victory. Atlanta took the lead in just the third minute as Devon Sandoval headed home from the top of the six-yard area after Jon Gallagher sent in a good cross from the right, and almost struck again in the 16th minute as Andrew Carleton fired just wide of the near post off a through-ball by Jack Metcalf into the right side of the penalty area. Penn almost hit back in the 28th minute as Saalih Muhammad found space on the right side of the penalty area but was first denied by Atlanta goalkeeper Alec Kann and then sent the rebound just wide of the right post. Kann also had to be sharp to keep out a header by Kyle Venter to the left corner from a free kick four minutes later, but in the 34th minute the hosts equalized as Ken Tribbett turned home a corner kick for his sixth goal this season. Atlanta regained the lead four minutes before halftime, however, as Carleton capitalized on a counterattack to finish low to the right corner. Penn looked to get back level early in the second half when Paulo Junior’s first-time finish was denied by Kann, and then tried to find an equalizer late as first Tribbett had a shot turned wide by Kann and another in stoppage time by Fabio de Souza, whose shot from the left touchline almost tucked in at the near post. Atlanta held on, however, to take its first back-to-back wins in club history. Man of the Match
Jon Gallagher, ATL UTD 2
– Gallagher provided the assists on both of Atlanta’s goals and finished the night with three key passes and four clearances defensively.

MATTHEWS, N.C. – The Charlotte Independence inched closer to the Eastern Conference playoff places with a 2-1 victory over the Richmond Kickers at Sportsplex at Matthews. Independence forward Eamon Zayed capitalized on the hosts’ first chance of the evening in the fifth minute when he latched onto Alex Martinez’s inch-perfect through pass and lifted a left-footed effort over the onrushing goalkeeper Trevor Spangenberg while losing his shoe in the process. Richmond nearly equalized three minutes later as Brian Shriver worked his way around the Charlotte defense and fired a low drive on target from the left side of the penalty area, but Independence keeper Brandon Miller got down quickly to keep the shot out. Yann Ekra nearly doubled the lead for the Independence in the 36th minute when he twisted his way past a defender and curled a shot towards the top corner that Spangenberg tipped over the bar, however, the pressure didn’t let up as Zayed found a knockdown from the ensuing corner but the goalscorer could only redirect the ball onto Spangenberg’s near post. The Kickers nearly drew level a minute later when Raul Gonzalez fired a low effort that Miller was able to keep out with his foot. Zayed came closest to his second two minutes before halftime heading a Jake Areman cross past Spangenberg only for it to be cleared to safety by Kickers defender McKeil Williams. Spangenberg made another acrobatic save in the 57th minute to deny Areman on a curling effort, but the defender made his second error in as many weeks a minute later when he was caught in possession by Areman who coolly fired the ball into an empty net. Raul Gonzalez gave the Kickers a lifeline with 18 minutes to play when he found a loose ball in the box and fired a right-footed drive past Miller to cut the deficit in half. Richmond manufactured one last chance to equalize in stoppage time with Austin Yearwood firing a dipping effort on target from the left side of the penalty area, but Miller punched it clear to secure all three points. Man of the Match:

Jake Areman, Charlotte Independence – Areman showed determination to hassle Spangenberg on the game’s winning goal and was dangerous all evening creating chances for himself and others

CARY, N.C. – Nashville SC scored twice in the final 10 minutes to earn a 3-3 draw with North Carolina FC on Saturday night at Sahlen’s Stadium at WakeMed Soccer Park. North Carolina had an early chance when Kyle Bekker fired into the side netting from the left side of the penalty area in the fourth minute, while eight minutes later Nashville’s Michael Reed flashed a shot just wide of the right post at the other end after negotiating space at the top of the penalty area. The hosts took the lead in the 18th minute, however, as Tiyi Shipalane drove forward from midfield and fired a shot that took a deflection at the top of the penalty area, wrongfooting NSC goalkeeper Matt Pickens as the ball found the right corner of the net. Nashville had a chance in the 36th minute as a driven cross from the right by Matt LaGrassa found Ropapa Mensah for a header that was saved by NCFC goalkeeper Alex Tambakis, but North Carolina doubled its lead three minutes later as Daniel Rios scored his 15th goal of the season with a low free kick to the right corner from the top-left side of the penalty area. Nashville pulled a goal back six minutes into the second half after it was awarded a penalty kick for a handball by Bekker as Brandon Allen scored low to the right corner, but North Carolina restored its two-goal advantage in the 63rd minute when Zach Steinberger volleyed home a finish into the left corner after the hosts kept play alive in the NSC penalty area. Allen converted a second penalty kick for Nashville with 10 minutes to go after Tucker Hume was fouled in the penalty area, shooting low to the left corner, and the visitors pulled level two minutes later as a shot from the left side of the penalty area by Lebo Moloto took a wicked deflection and looped over Tambakis into the right side of the net. Steinberger almost added his second of the night with two minutes to go as his deflected shot flashed just over the crossbar, but the sides ended even as Nashville pushed back into eighth place in the East. Man of the Match
Brandon Allen, Nashville SC
– The halftime substitute kept his cool to convert twice from the penalty spot to lead Nashville’s fightback to earn a point.

Business student launched social startup to empower artisans

Co-op, Peter B. Gustavson School of Business, Graduate Studies

- Sasha Milam

Dara Jarallah, a Master of Global Business (MGB) student at UVic’s Sardul S. Gill Graduate School of Business, has spent the last two years carefully tending her growing social start-up business, Shoppinglee. Her aim: to empower marginalized artisans around the world, starting with communities in her native Palestine.

“I want to break the cycle of dependency that so many artisans—especially women—are trapped in,” says Jarallah. “Shoppinglee was started to break these chains, to break out of the cycle that puts you in a position of dependency and cycle of weakness.”

Building connections globally

The business, founded in 2016 while Jarallah was completing her undergraduate degree, originally aimed to do this by offering an online platform that connected buyers around the world with artisanal products made in Palestine such as wall hangings, jewelry, clothing and handbags. As the determined young entrepreneur continued to build connections with communities around the world, however, the business soon added artisans and business partners in Haiti, then Peru.

Currently, Jarallah is completing an entrepreneurial co-op term in Jordan.

“Right now we have 13 organizations of different sizes that we partner with, some operating on global scales and some locally,” explains Jarallah. “This is an asset, as different organizations can offer support in different ways and strengthen the overall fabric of our social project.”

People, the fabric of the business

During her months in Jordan, this ability to build relationships and work with the tools available has been necessary to keep the project thriving.

“Infrastructure in shipping and logistics in Jordan is weak—it’s a reality in most countries in this region,” says Jarallah. As Shoppinglee relies on such infrastructure to efficiently export the goods crafted locally by artisans, this was potentially a major stumbling block. But instead of admitting that perhaps the project couldn’t scale or would need to be capped at a lower export point, she pivoted.

“I thought to myself, ‘No, we have an opportunity, we have relationships with people we want to work with, and this is not going to stop here,’” she says. In the end, the Jordan project added a graphic art component, selling digital designs that didn’t require physical shipping services.

Dara Jarallah with members of the community
Dara Jarallah (centre) in Birzeit Market, Palestine, with artisan-entrepreneurs Naima Zayyad (left) and Rihab Daqawiya (right). Zayyad and Daqawiya distribute their goods internationally, through Jarallah's Shoppinglee service.

“Our network, the fabric of the business, is growing continuously and organically,” explains Jarallah. “In the Middle East, it’s a relationship-based community. It takes a lot of time to build relationships with these artisans. They invite me for coffee, I go to their homes, I meet all their grandkids, I’ve been to weddings—they become part of your family, and you become part of theirs. So when we shifted to include graphic designs, it was a natural extension to work with the children of these artisans. Plus, since it’s a very tight community, when I start working with one designer, that does not mean that I’m working with one designer. It means I’m working with her and all her neighbours!”

UVic program helped the start-up grow

With this community-focused approach taking place in various locations around the world, and Shoppinglee staff consisting of Jarallah and three volunteers in Toronto, the UK and US, one can imagine that things might be put on pause while Jarallah has been in school full time. The MGB program, moreover, spends a semester each on three different continents. How has she managed to keep things growing while handling school?

“It certainly took planning,” she admits, “especially with the different time zones. But when you’re doing something that you love as much as I love Shoppinglee, you don’t feel the time and weight in the same way. I had people around me who became friends and advisors, with international knowledge, who were talking with me on a daily basis, brainstorming with me, problem solving with me, so I think the MGB program actually helped the start-up grow.”

Creating returns for all involved

Her commitment to empowering artisans—and their families and communities—are not empty words for Jarallah. She does not pay herself from the business’ proceeds and doesn’t plan to even after graduation from the MGB program. Instead, she is starting a new position as a business development officer for an international technology company.

“Eventually, once the business model becomes more scaled, yes, I will pay myself a salary so I can do things sustainably,” she says. But she doesn’t see that happening imminently.

Each time we’re able to close a deal for Shoppinglee, this lump sum of money comes in. I could take 10 to 20 per cent of that and pay myself. But this 10 to 20 per cent could pay for someone to go to school for a whole year. And I don’t need that, because I have the time, energy and power to work and earn my own income that will support me. I don’t need much.
Dara Jarallah, MGB student and entrepreneur

She may not need much, but Jarallah’s time invested in Shoppinglee is certainly creating returns for her and all involved in the project—whether in the form of income, international connections, business experience, or a deeper sense of purpose.

Personal Safety

Security Services

Campus Safety

Did you know that most crimes in and around campus involve property? The incidence rate of violence is actually very low and most thefts tend to occur because some basic safety measures are overlooked. To minimize your risk, consider the follow tips:

Personal Safety

  • Attend to your valuables at all times.
  • Keep bags, backpacks, mobile phones and electronics in safe and secure storage.
  • Stay aware of your surroundings.
  • Walk in well-lit areas at night.
  • Walk in groups, if possible.
  • Wear headphones or ear plugs in one ear only, so you are still attuned to your surroundings.
  • Take note of unauthorized individuals in non-public areas of the University, and respond accordingly.
  • Keep office doors locked when unoccupied or if you are working alone.
  • Notify someone if you are working alone.
  • Avoid opening doors to strangers when working alone.
  • Know the UWinnipeg Security number (204.786.6666) and call if your personal comfort level is violated.
  • Pre-program 911 into your mobile phone

  • Use high-quality locks such as those available at the UWinnipeg Campus Store.
  • Be aware of your surroundings (others around when you approach your locker.)
  • Avoid leaving expensive items (such as cash and electronics) in lockers.

  • Secure your bike with a good quality lock, such as a “U” lock; cable and chain locks are easily cut.
  • Remove or secure you quick-release seat and wheels

  • Secure valuables in the trunk, where they are out of sight.
  • Keep your vehicle locked.
  • Have keys in hand, so you do not linger outside unnecessarily.
  • Be cautious of strangers approaching your vehicle.
  • Honk the horn repeatedly to attract attention, if you feel threatened.
  • Go directly to the nearest police station or well-lit public place (where people can be found) if you are followed.

If you happen to find a needle or syringe anywhere on campus — whether it’s used or unused, with a protective cap or not — do not touch it. Needles or other drug paraphernalia are not safe to handle as they may be contaminated with hazardous elements. These items should be removed by those trained to do so, such as UWinnipeg’s Security Services.

  • Do NOT touch the needle, syringe, or drug paraphernalia
  • Contact UWinnipeg’s Security Services and notify them of the finding
  • If possible, wait for the campus security officer to arrive, so you can assist in quickly locating the item
  • While waiting, prevent others nearby from coming into contact with the item

Suspicious Behaviour

For your own safety and the safety of others, it’s best to report behaviour that is unusual, disturbing, or otherwise out of the ordinary. This may include:

  • Aggressive characteristics or actions
  • Loud or boisterous behaviour
  • Clothing or dress consistent with gang affiliations
  • Persons loitering around lockers, offices, bike racks, parking areas or other spaces.

Armed Intruder

In the unlikely event of an armed intruder on campus, ensure your safety (and that of others) by doing the following, as appropriate:

  • GET OUT: always run away, think in advance, be ready
  • CALL OUT: call for help and to warn others. Call 911 or Security at 204.786.6666
  • HIDE OUT: Hide and stay away from view.
  • LOCK OUT: Lock or barricade the door.

Could a Coun. Tim Stevenson Share program be next?

Kudos and Kvetches

A long-awaited, much delayed, considerably debated bike share program is finally coming to Vancouver this summer.

On Tuesday, it was announced the city had signed a five-year agreement with Ottawa’s CycleHop, which will provide 1,500 bikes and 150 rental stations across Vancouver.

article continues below

We’re all for filling crowded Vancouver streets, trails, paths and walkways with thousands of tourists who ride a bike maybe once a year as much as the next person, but let’s not be limited by two wheels.

There are plenty of other share programs the city would be wise to consider:

• Pants Share
How often do you find yourself enjoying a warm summer night in a skirt, cut-off denim shorts or lederhosen when suddenly the temperature dips and you’re caught out in the cold. Wouldn’t putting on a warm and inviting pair of slightly worn slacks without having to go home be a godsend?

• Hug Share
Who doesn’t enjoy a hug from time to time? Strangers, for one. Or maybe your arms tire easily. That’s where a licensed hug share program comes in handy. Whether you don’t have the time to comfort what’s-his-name during a moment of crisis or you just could use the tender touch of a human who isn’t your overly judgmental life coach, paying for someone to hug you only sounds creepy if you think about it too much.

• Councillor Tim Stevenson Share
How cool would it be to hang with lovable, mumbly, hard-to-understand city councillor Tim Stevenson at a moment’s notice or when you throw a party and want to impress your guests with your connections to city hall? Tim Stevenson is your man. The dude is pretty chill, he always seems to have time on his hands and we’re guessing he plays a mean NHL 16 on Playstation. Just don’t let him invite fellow councillor Kerry Jang over. That guy will trash your house. He’s an animal.

Grouse Mountain offers a picnic with a heck of a view

What’s better than a picnic on a sunny, summer day? A picnic on a sunny, summer day – on top of a mountain!

For over 25 years, Grouse Mountain has been hosting a day of food, fun and games for hundreds of children with extra needs.

The annual event is organized by Variety at Work, a volunteer committee made up of members of Variety – the Children’s Charity of BC. The committee also organizes other fun events for Variety’s children throughout the year, including the Picnic in the Park in Burnaby in early June, and the Variety Kids Christmas Party every December at the Vancouver Hellenic Centre.

This year’s picnic on Grouse Mountain goes from 9am – 2pm on July 12. With 300 kids expected to attend, it will be another year of the best kind of chaos, and an unforgettable day for families to spend some quality time together.

Huge thanks to Coast Mountain Bus Company for sponsoring transportation on the day, and of course Grouse Mountain, who have been making this event possible for families for decades!

Tips for Expectant Dads

One of the best ways for an expectant father to prepare for his newborn’s arrival is by becoming actively involved in the pregnancy process. For example, a soon-to-be dad should attend prenatal visits, talk about pregnancy with others, and place his hands on his partner’s stomach to feel the baby kick. Not only does this help an expectant dad feel connected with the pregnancy process, but it also helps his partner feel emotionally supported.

Couple talking with doctor in IVF clinic

Another great way for an expectant dad to ease into fatherhood is by talking with his own father. This can help a new dad consider what kind of relationship he would like to build with his own child. An expectant dad should also talk with his partner about how their lives will be impacted by the arrival of the baby. Seeking out advice from friends and family can also help a new father feel emotionally supported and comfortable with the transition into fatherhood.

Vedder Thinking | Articles Arbitration Agreements and the Supreme Court's recent decision: An Epic Change for Employers?

The Supreme Court's Decision

On May 21, 2018, a divided Supreme Court confirmed in Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis, No. 16-285, 584 U.S. ___ (2018), that class action waivers in mandatory employment arbitration agreements are enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). The practical import of the Court’s decision is that employers may lawfully require employees, as a condition of employment, to enter into mandatory arbitration agreements that preemptively bar them from pursuing class action claims in court or in arbitration. Employees who enter into arbitration agreements with class waivers may only litigate claims against their employers in individual arbitration. As discussed below, while class action waivers can be a powerful tool for limiting significant potential employer liabilities, mandatory individual arbitration is not necessarily a panacea for avoiding complex and expensive litigation and may not be appropriate for every employer.

Justice Gorsuch, who we suggested in our March 2017 article Class Is in Session: Supreme Court to Decide Future of Class Waiver Arbitration Clauses might play a role in the future of class waivers, wrote the opinion for the five to four majority. Justice Ginsburg penned the strongly worded dissent. And, while these competing justices tackled a multitude of legal (and social) issues in the decision, the primary legal issue in Epic Systems was whether class action waivers in arbitration agreements violate the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and are thus unenforceable.

The employee in Epic Systems had entered into an arbitration agreement with a class action waiver, but nevertheless brought a class action wage claim in court under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). He argued that wage and hour class action litigation was “protected concerted activity” under the NLRA and that the class waiver in his arbitration agreement could not be enforced because it violated the NLRA’s prohibition on employer interference with concerted activity. That argument had been considered by a number of federal appellate courts around the country in recent years with differing results, which led the Supreme Court to take up Epic Systems and two similar cases on review.

Writing for the Court, Justice Gorsuch concluded that it was inappropriate to read the federal statutes implicated in the case, the FAA and NLRA, as conflicting with each other. He reasoned that the strong FAA mandate to enforce arbitration agreements could not be construed to conflict with the NLRA’s protection of concerted activity, which did not include a right to bring a class or collective action.

What It All Means, and What Employers Should Do

While the Supreme Court’s decision in Epic Systems puts to rest facial challenges to the enforcement of class action waivers in arbitration agreements on the grounds that they conflict with the NLRA, employees may still challenge such agreements under generally available contract defenses such as “fraud, duress or unconscionability.” To be sure, the plaintiffs’ bar and employee advocacy groups will, as they have done for years, attempt to expand these and other arguments to get around arbitration agreements and class action waivers.

The continued attack on arbitration agreements places an increased premium on employers’ careful drafting, implementation and maintenance of agreements and class action waivers. Employers should make conscious, considered judgments about implementing or maintaining arbitration agreements and class action waivers. While arbitration was for years seen as a low cost alternative to court litigation, that is not necessarily so any longer. Arbitration can be expensive, and one reaction to class action waivers that has already been observed is the filing by plaintiffs’ lawyers of dozens of individual arbitrations at a time, for which employers are required to foot the bill for arbitrator fees in many jurisdictions.

Employers should also anticipate, especially if Congress turns over in the fall, that legislators will look to exempt some claims, such as those for sexual harassment or discrimination, from mandatory arbitration. In addition, although there are legal impediments to enforcement of state laws and judicial decisions that affect the enforceability of employee arbitration agreements, state legislation and state court rulings are likely to further muddy the waters.

The Epic Systems decision resolves one of the long-standing issues regarding arbitration and class action waivers but there remain myriad other questions that employers must confront in connection with determining whether to implement or maintain an arbitration agreement and a class action waiver.

BSEE Director to Head-up Interior Department Royalty Policy Committee

The Director of the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) Scott Angelle will now serve as the chairman of the Royalty Policy Committee (RPC). Appointed by U. S. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke, Angelle had been serving as Acting Chairman. His role as Chairman is in addition to his current role as the BSEE Director.

BSEE Director Sees Change and Optimism for U.S. Offshore Energy

Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement Director Scott Angelle told attendees of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry Conference, held at the Port of New Orleans Tuesday, that offshore energy is vital to the Trump Administration goal of energy dominance. Angelle emphasized that production must be safe and environmentally sustainable to meet America’s oil and gas demands now and in the future.

Rep. Jean-Paul Coussan, One Acadiana Chairman Frank Neuner, Sen. Eric Lafleur, Rep. Stuart Bishop (L-R) take part in the Legislative recap held by One Acadiana.

One Acadiana holds Legislative recap

LAFAYETTE — Legislators spent the last couple of months in Baton Rouge, working to fix the state’s budget woes.
After not doing so during the regular legislative session, state lawmakers did pass a budget during a special session that followed.
While that is now in the rearview, for those who attended One Acadiana’s Legislative Session Recap Thursday morning, there is still plenty of work to be done to right Louisiana’s fiscal future.

Billy Broadhurst, adviser to Edwin Edwards, dies

Billy Broadhurst, an adviser to Edwin Edwards and countless other elected officials across the state, has died, according to several people who knew him. He was 77.

Broadhurst was a lawyer who rose to prominence as a political operative working with a wide range of officials and a lobbyist for some of the most powerful interests in the state.

Broadhurst had been actively working on politics up until this past weekend, when he was in New Orleans meeting with officials and potential clients.

Details about Broadhurst's death were not immediately available.

Livestock Pose Giant Threat to British Vets

Many large animal veterinarians are injured on the job, a BVA survey finds.

The United Kingdom had nearly 10 million head of cattle in 2013, according to government figures.

British Veterinary Association

Suggested Veterinary Products

Don’t be careless around bulls and other large animals.

That’s the advice of the British Veterinary Association, which found that more than half of veterinarians working with production animals on farms had been injured over the previous 12 months.

Even interacting with smaller livestock can be dangerous. “Kicked in the side of the head while castrating a calf” was among the responses to BVA’s Voice of the Veterinary Profession survey.

Among wounded practitioners, nearly 1-in-5 classified their injuries as “very” or “quite” severe.

“By far the most common injury was bruising caused by kicks, with almost 85 percent of production animal vets who had been injured reporting this,” BVA stated in July as part of Farm Safety Week. “Other injuries reported included lacerations, crush injuries, head injuries caused by kicks and fractures caused by kicks.”

One large animal veterinarian recalled being targeted by a pair of bulls.

“Bruised and shocked,” the practitioner stated. “Both attacks [while] doing whole herd testing on separate bulls, one stock and one beef bull. Both attacked from behind on a farm with poor facilities.”

Another complained of “cattle crushes and squashed body parts.”

Veterinarians and farm owners must be safety conscious, said BVA President John Blackwell, BVSc, MRCVS.

“These figures show the risk of injury that production animal vets run in the course of their work,” Dr. Blackwell said.

“Farmers and vets up and down the country have seen colleagues injured on farms and consequently unable to work,” he added. “Many injuries are avoidable if veterinary practices, their employees and farmers all take action to minimize the risks.”

BVA publishes advice for both trades. The organization’s Farm Health and Safety guide is written for member veterinarians. The leaflet “Is Your Farm a Safe Place to Work?” is available at http://bit.ly/1U4bptE.

You have taken so much of the frustration out of online dating. And thanks to that I was able to focus on what was most important–finding a quality woman to share my life with.

David S.

San Francisco, CA

Before VIDA, I never put enough time into my personal life. I was just too consumed with my career. Hiring you guys made it possible to find someone and get into a happy relationship without the hassle of spending a lot of time on this myself.

Tyler M.

Chicago, IL

Thanks to you people, I finally found someone that wants to be in a relationship with me. Other than finding my dream girl, I really liked that I didn’t have to focus on the back and forth of the email exchange since you took care of that for me. VIDA was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Jonathan V.

Henderson, NV

I have been very pleased with the results and I have been able to make the right connections with the right women. I would recommend your service to anyone who is looking for love online.

Rick M.

Dayton, OH

What I was not able to do in 2 years, VIDA did in 2 months. Now, that’s impressive!! I’m now involved with a very nice woman that I’ve met with the help of VIDA. I am very, very satisfied with the results.

Trent K.

Manhattan, NY

VIDA, double your rates right now (for everyone else). This is ridiculously good!

Ty C.

Vancouver, BC

VIDA absolutely blew me away with their level of service. Bottom line: you have no idea how much time you waste searching, emailing, winking, etc. VIDA did it all for me, even setting me up the dates with the kind of women I REALLY wanted to meet! They took the time to truly get to know me, and the communication and follow up was spot on. I highly recommend it.

Chan W.

Tacoma, WA

VIDA is the most time-efficient way to get dates. Within a couple weeks of signing up, I had two or three dates with new women each week! The writers sent witty, comical messages that fit my personality. It's truly liberating to have a team of experts take care of all the details, allowing me to spend my free time on the part of dating that actually matters–the dates. VIDA gives its clients a huge advantage over regular online dating users, and I'd recommend it to any of my single friends looking for a more active dating life.

Jay S.

Boston, MA

From my matchmaker to the skilled writers, this is a very competent and professional operation. Consistent and timely communication, good judgment in selecting candidates in the first instance, and persistent and targeted follow-up to close the deal with promising matches. I heartily recommend the VIDA team and will definitely return to them if things do not turn out with my current girlfriend (that I, of course, met through the VIDA service).

Ajay K.

San Francisco, CA

Before working with VIDA, I had little time to devote to dating as a busy professional who travels frequently. I'd tried online dating, but I got little response, especially from quality women.

With VIDA's help I was finally able to get phone numbers and dates with highly compatible women. In fact, the team did such a great job, I have to step away from the service so I can focus my energy on the great matches they've found for me.

Matt V.

Dallas, TX

Thanks to you people, I finally found someone that wants to be in a relationship with me. Other than finding my dream girl, I really liked that I didn’t have to focus on the back and forth of the email exchange since you took care of that for me. VIDA was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Sean O.

Dublin, Ireland

I had remained single for 3 years because I wasn't sure how to present myself online. Then a friend recommended VIDA. I told my matchmaker I was searching for something long-term and she was able to introduce me to the woman of my dreams within a month. I couldn't be happier!

Ricardo J.

Austin, Texas

My experience at VIDA has truly been 5 Star. The level of service the team provides astounded me at every turn. VIDA fully delivers exactly what they say they will. They connect you with dates and organize everything, including the date destination. All you need to do is show up! I definitely recommend you sign up now.

George B.

New York City, NY

Prior to VIDA I was spending countless hours, sending unsuccessful emails and meeting no one. Within a few short weeks, I had more responses and women looking to meet me than there were days in the week. I'd highly recommend this service to anyone who is frustrated with the hassles of online dating.

Sanjeet S.

Ft. Lauderdale, FL

I wasn’t getting any responses on dating sites and apps. I kept wasting time coming up with clever messages and 99.99% of the time there was no reply. The VIDA team made my profiles shine – I was getting unsolicited messages, but even better they took over conversations all the way and all I had to do was show up at the dates and be myself. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Andrew F.

Austin, TX

I am very busy and it's frustrating to wade thru countless profiles and messages looking for someone unique. VIDA was able to take my interests and requirements for a date and filter those countless profiles down to a list of quality, interesting women. I was able to connect with an amazing woman who was looking for the same things as me. VIDA is a great matchmaker. Now I'm with an amazing girlfriend and we simply just click. I would recommend VIDA to anyone who is interested in meeting the right person. Thanks VIDA!

Anton P.

Tampa Bay, FL

Simply outstanding. Before signing up, I found the world of online dating extremely tedious and time consuming. What's worse, the amount of attention I was getting on the various dating sites was abysmal. VIDA made my profiles shine in ways I personally could never have imagined. The crazy part is they chose photos of me that I thought would never work, then lo and behold they started getting me more dates in a few weeks than I had had responses to messages in months. My online dating experience has been simply fantastic and I am beyond grateful for their awesome, above-the-call-of-duty support.

Lee F.

Manchester, UK

I had tried Internet dating several times using different sites. It was always a frustrating experience that left me feeling rejected. It also required a lot of time.

I didn't want to give up on my dating life so I sought help. By using VIDA, I realized that Internet dating is about the ability to market yourself. Success or failure is based on how well you can communicate who you are. Online it's easy to think rejection is about who you are as a person, when it's really a rejection of your message.

I went on several dates with some very interesting and attractive women. I'm now dating a woman I met while with VIDA. Wish me luck!

Troy W.

Phoenix, AZ

Simply put, my experience with VIDA was incredible! They surpassed my admittedly high expectations. The team is extremely professional, organized and insightful.

Before trying VIDA, I was having trouble meeting the right type of women. I'm very busy with my kids and career. I knew I didn't have the time it would take to do online dating the right way. VIDA took care of everything… from coordinating photos, to understanding me and the type of woman I was looking to find.

And in a very short period I was introduced to 15 women, one of which was a fantastic match. We are currently dating exclusively. I'm very excited and optimistic! Thank you VIDA!!

Kirk C.

Ottawa, ON

VIDA helped me realize that there are plenty of good women out there and the key to success is well timed, smart communication.

Before enlisting the help of VIDA my dating experience was hit or miss. I would get the occasional number, maybe even a first date. But with my busy schedule I just couldn't put all the focused time and effort it takes to succeed with online dating. Oh, and my profiles on the various sites were also admittedly weak sauce.

VIDA not only helped me create profiles that were attention-grabbing, but also saved me countless hours by communicating with tons of women in a very clever and effective manner. Soon I was getting 2 to 3 numbers a week and went on at least as many dates.

The support and advice I received from the VIDA staff exceeded my expectations. They kept me informed the entire time and helped me through some dating challenges that came up with sound, thoughtful suggestions. Finally, I can say that dating doesn't have to be intimidating or feel futile. It's actually fun again and I was able to find a keeper with their help.

Third runway project

Future project of Vienna Airport 3rd runway

The third runway is of vital importance for the future of Vienna International Airport. The anticipated long-term developments in international aviation cannot be effectively handled with the current system of two intersecting runways nor would it be acceptable for local inhabitants.

An additional take-off and landing runway would also reduce delays, fuel consumption and noise by doing away with holding patterns and queued aircraft during busy periods.

 Further details on the project can also be found in the information brochure on the third runway.

The Austrian Constitutional Court has reversed the ruling handed down by the Federal Administrative Court against the third runway planned at Vienna Airport and declared the court decision to be unconstitutional.

The Management Board of Flughafen Wien AG, the company operating Vienna Airport, welcomes the decision handed down by the Austrian Constitutional Court (VfGH). “This is a good day for Austria as a business location as well as for Vienna Airport. Accordingly, an infrastructure project of such importance for the future has a realistic chance of being implemented”, state Günther Offner and Julian Jäger, Members of the Management Board of Flughafen Wien AG. “Our confidence in the rule of law in Austria has been fully strengthened. We hope that the Federal Administrative Court which is responsible for the matter once again will make a quick decision”, they add.

Two-runway system reaching its capacity limits

 Vienna International Airport makes an important contribution to the economic development of the region. To ensure that this remains the case in future, the airport will need a third runway. At present there are two intersecting runways available for take-offs and landings. In terms of capacity, however, 1+1 does not equal 2 but only 1.6. It will not be possible to meet the anticipated demand for international flights with the existing two-runway system. The resultant bottlenecks threaten the future development of the airport and the region as a whole.

Vienna International Airport as an economic driving force

There are currently around 20,000 people working at the airport, of whom 96 per cent live in Lower Austria, Burgenland and Vienna. A further 52,500 jobs depend indirectly on it. Vienna International Airport is a hub in the centre of Europe. This has quite specific advantages for the region’s economy. International concerns choose Vienna as their eastern European headquarters, and many local companies appreciate the good connections to global business. Upwards of 1,200 companies with a total of 600,000 employees and an extensive supplier structure are concerned. Airline companies benefit from the airport’s gateway function to eastern Europe and the Middle East.

Development will tail off without a third runway

With a third runway, Vienna International Airport will be able to continue to compete in Europe. The forecasts are quite clear. With only two runways, the development curve will tail off in terms both of passengers and of employees. With a third runway, Vienna International Airport will be able to consolidate its role as an economic driving force in the future.
