Embracing limitation
continue reading » ShareShareSharePrintMailGooglePinterestDiggRedditStumbleuponDeliciousBufferTumblr “Limitations aren’t the end of our potential—in fact, they’re merely the beginning,” said Phil Hansen, multimedia artist and co-founder of Phil in the Circle, Chanhassen, Minnesota. “We need to first be limited to become limitless.”This is, perhaps, unintuitive advice; we’ve all been told that we must “think outside the box” to achieve creative, innovative solutions. But that boundless freedom can sometimes lead to paralysis when it comes time to take action.Instead, suggested Hansen, credit unions might think “inside the box” to set realistic constraints to creativity.During the first general session of Directors Conference in Hawaii last week, Hansen described the limitation that almost ended his artistic career: He developed a tremor in his drawing hand that made it impossible to produce the tiny but distinct dots that defined his pointillism art style.
Jun 16, 2008 (CIDRAP News) – Sanofi Pasteur pledged today to give 60 million doses of H5N1 influenza vaccine over 3 years to the World Health Organization (WHO) for a planned stockpile to help poor countries in the event of an influenza pandemic.Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccines division of French-based Sanofi-Aventis, is the second company to make a specific pledge for the WHO stockpile. A year ago, the United Kingdom’s GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) promised to provide 50 million doses of H5N1 vaccine. At two doses per person, the combined total of 110 million doses would be enough to vaccinate 55 million people.”The H5N1 virus is currently circulating in some of the poorest regions of the world and an outbreak of pandemic influenza would most likely hit populations living in areas with limited access to vaccines,” said Wayne Pisano, Sanofi Pasteur’s president and chief executive officer, in a news release. “This donation of H5N1 vaccine aims to address the needs of those most vulnerable populations.”Sanofi Pasteur makes an H5N1 vaccine that is being stockpiled by the US government. It became the world’s first licensed H5N1 vaccine when it was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in April 2007. The European Union approved an H5N1 vaccine made by GSK last month.Sanofi did not say when it would turn over the first doses to the WHO. A month ago, the WHO reported that work on the stockpile was under way, but no doses had been acquired yet.In that report, the WHO said the contemplated uses of the stockpile were to help contain the initial, localized emergence of a potential H5N1 pandemic and to provide vaccine to countries that would have little access to it.Besides Sanofi and GSK, Omnivest of Hungary and US-based Baxter have expressed a willingness to contribute to the stockpile.WHO member countries called for the establishment of a global H5N1 vaccine stockpile when they met for the World Health Assembly in May 2007. The idea of a global stockpile emerged after complaints by Indonesia and other developing countries about lack of access to commercial H5N1 vaccines.In its news release, Sanofi said it is “committed to producing as many doses as possible of its most advanced vaccine in the shortest possible time frame should a pandemic be declared by WHO. Under such circumstances, Sanofi Pasteur’s seasonal influenza vaccine facilities would globally be able to switch to pandemic vaccine manufacturing.”See also:Jun 16 Sanofi news releasehttp://www.vaccineplace.com/docs/H5N1_WHO_160608_ENG.pdfMay 16 CIDRAP News story “Launch of WHO H5N1 vaccine stockpile still awaited”May 2008 WHO report “Options for the use of human H5N1 influenza vaccines and the WHO H5N1 stockpile”http://www.who.int/csr/resources/publications/WHO_HSE_EPR_GIP_2008_1d.pdfJun 13, 2007, CIDRAP News story “Glaxo to give 50 million doses of H5N1 vaccine to WHO”
Tomorrow, Croatia will host the first ever World Fishing Day in the company of 24 fishing countries. This global production was created on the initiative of the leading British fishing television Fishing TV.Vivatina media, which has so far nurtured a successful collaboration with Fishing TV, is the producer of the Croatian part of the broadcast. For the presentation of Croatian fishing, at least 5 million viewers are forecast, and this is just the beginning of Croatian production cooperation with Fishing TV. Also, all social platforms were used in the promotion of Croatia. “Our goal on World Fishing Day is to introduce as many people as possible to this sport with an emphasis on women and children. In addition, we intend to bring viewers closer to the issue of preserving fish stocks and highlight how fishermen can improve human lives around the world.”, Said the commercial director of Fishing TV, Ed Burgass.The program promotes fishing as a discipline, as well as the world’s most attractive fishing attractions, including Croatia. Fishing TV is watched by 750 million viewers.Nina Schmidt: This is an opportunity for Croatia to present itself to the world as an attractive fishing destinationThe live broadcast follows the trajectory of the sun from its sunrise starting from Australia and New Zealand through Asia, Africa, Europe and ending with sunset in America. Also, many celebrities from the world of fishing participate in the program, and in our case it is Thom Hunt. “Fishing is the fifth strongest industry in the world, unfortunately in Croatia it is still a hobby. This is an opportunity for Croatia to present itself to the world as an attractive fishing destination. It is also a way for fishing to give its share to tourism.”, Explained Nina Schmidt, director of Vivatina, which produces this show in Croatia.On a tour of the planet, the live broadcast from Croatia starts at 7:05 am, four hours of live broadcast and six reports from the open sea near Dubrovnik, ending around 11 am. The production and live broadcast takes place on board, where Thom Hunt will appear live, and who will throw the fishing rod himself. Also, two short films dedicated to other Croatian fishing zones have been prepared.There are approximately 5 billion registered fishermen in the world and this is an opportunity to offer this selected group what Croatia has. For example, it is interesting to note that in Croatia there are two species of fish that can be found only in a few other locations in the world. It is expected that such a presentation will have an extremely positive impact on domestic tourism. “There is no doubt that World Fishing Day is an event that can position Croatia as an ideal destination for a fishing tourist product. “, reads the CNTB letter.This live broadcast from Croatia is supported by the Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Croatia, the Croatian National Tourist Board, the Croatian Chamber of Commerce and the Dubrovnik Tourist Board.”The choice of Dubrovnik and sea fishing came from Fishing TV. In promotional reports prepared by Vivatina, we will show fishing on rivers and waters, and Thom Hunt will support this with his experiences. However, for the first time they wanted something recognizable, something that will be an introduction to the whole story where we will get to know the world with other fishing locations in Croatia. In this way we sensitize the public to something familiar, Dubrovnik and the sea around it ”, noted Schmidt.We still sometimes act like a transition country when it comes to world trends. However, one should not look at it negatively, Schimdt pointed out, because the field has been prepared so far. Namely, Croatia has many lakes and waters, a good fish stock, and we have been world champions in fishing several times. This should only be given importance because in the end fishing is always recognized, you just need to start a story and place Croatia in a broader global concept. Brakes do not exist as we can see in the example of World Fishing Day and its focused promotion of that sport. Like many things, a good story is simply taken as something self-sustaining.”This is a great opportunity and a provocation to anglers all over the world as this is watched by a target audience engaged in fishing and watching for a reason to see where everyone can go and fish. I hope we make an even bigger story in the future because this is a year-round tourism. Also, I look forward to any future collaboration with Fishing TV”, Concluded Schmidt.The main sponsors of the general event are Fishbrain and Fishing TV, and the campaign is led by a well-known British agency kpPR, led by Rae Borras. The live program will also be played online, and you can watch it at connectors.

The project lasts 30 months (2017-2020) and aims to encourage regional development through the program of cultural routes of the Council of Europe in four macro-regions of the European Union, in accordance with the Faro Convention. Within this program, seven calls for proposals were published for seven projects specifically prepared for all four macro-regional strategies. The project proposals aim to create added value for both the Council of Europe’s cultural route program and macro-regional strategies. Croatia participates in two macro-regional strategies: the Danube and the Adriatic-Ionian, within which the proposal to create a new cultural route called “Roman Heritage Route” was accepted.

Icardi’s relationship with his parent club isn’t exactly amicable after his loan move to PSG last summer, while Cavani’s contract at the French side is up at the end of this season.Advertisement Read Also: La Liga: Spanish Prime Minister confirms restart dateThe striker came close to joining Los Rojiblancos in January and Diego Simeone is known to be a fan of his and vice versa.Newcastle are also in the mix but their pursuit of Cavani relies on their big money takeover going through and him not minding the lack of European football on offer at St James’ Park.FacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmail分享 The Uruguayan isn’t ruling out signing a contract extension in Paris, however, and will have to do so if he wants to play in the remaining stages of the Champions League, which are due to take place in August. On Saturday, L’Equipe reported that Inter and PSG are in talks over a swap deal involving Icardi and Cavani, but nothing has been agreed on yet.

Hope soccer fans returning to the stadium after close to a year lockdown due to the Coronavirus pandemic may not immediately come true after all. Government had projected that October 1st would be ideal for gradual return of fans who have been known around the world to play the role of 12th player for every team, considering their ability to ginger players to go the extra mile in the quest for laurels. Unfortunately government is reportedly set to delay the return following rising cases of the dreaded pandemic that brought sporting activities and indeed other activities globally to a standstill. According to the Times, it is now almost certain that fans will not be back at football stadiums, even in reduced numbers, by the originally planned date of October 1st.Advertisement The report explains that could be of huge concern to some football clubs, especially those lower down the Football League pyramid. A government official had hinted, the health and safety of the public has to come first during these challenging times, and it’s encouraging to see that the government has responded to the recent rise of COVID-19 cases. One has to hope that swift action this time can help prevent a second wave of hospitalisations and deaths as we saw in March and April, and perhaps then pave the way for fans to get back to games later in the year or in early 2021. Football won’t be the same without supporters present, but it’s at least a relief that the game was able to get going again at all after its three-month suspension earlier in the year. While it is a relief that games have been able to return pretty smoothly since June in UK and many other parts of the world, it is simply not the same without the atmosphere that fans bring to grounds.

LONDON: After playing a knock of 152 runs against Pakistan in the first innings of the third and final Test against Pakistan, wicket-keeper batsman Jos Buttler said that having a positive outlook has served him well over the past few weeks.England’s Buttler also admitted that he was worried about getting dropped from the side two matches prior to the third Test against Pakistan. “A couple of games ago I was thinking I was about to get dropped, I’ve certainly questioned myself in the last few weeks. I’ve found a good headspace to hang in there. You’ve got to maintain that belief in yourself and this just proves you’re never far away. You’re never too far away from good things or bad things. Things can change fast. It’s that positive outlook and belief that you can do good things that has served me well in the last few weeks,” ESPNCricinfo quoted Buttler as saying. Buttler was involved in a 359-run stand with Zak Crawley in the first innings of the third Test and as a result, England put up a score of 583/8 with Crawley scoring 267 runs. This partnership between Buttler and Crawley was England’s highest fifth-wicket partnership in Test cricket. James Anderson then scalped three wickets as Pakistan ended the day at 24/3, still trailing England by 559 runs. “It’s nice to prove to myself that I can bat for that long. I was just trying to make it last as long as possible. It’s definitely the first time I’ve faced that many balls,” Buttler said. “But it’s been nice to have a real training block. It’s not something you have very often. You’re often planning your training around the next match in a couple of days. To start gradually thinking about things you’d like to improve and focus on your batting, it’s been a really beneficial thing for me to work a few things out,” he added.
