However, the press release isn't for Joy, but for a new fragrance, Joy Forever, intended to update the classic. Creating a contemporary companion to Joy is a tall order. Audacious, even. For one thing, it assumes that Joy is out of fashion. For another — well, Joy is an icon.
Jean Patou's house perfumer, Thomas Fontaine, explained it this way: "Women today have difficulty 'reading' Joy." He said that classic Joy is a wall of scent with just a hint of a bright prelude before settling into its signature interplay of rose and indolic jasmine. He said when someone on the street is wearing Joy, her wrapping (Fontaine, in English, repeatedly used "wrapping" instead of "sillage," and it was so charming and evocative that I want to adopt it myself) is "lush and thick." But as he points out, it's not a style people are used to smelling anymore.
With Forever Joy, he wanted to give Joy a "prologue" and an "afterword" — clever descriptors when you intend a fragrance to tell a story. For Joy Forever's prologue, he added orange blossom, which he said symbolizes the American woman. Iris and galbanum represent French women. (This is meat for a spirited discussion.) He kept Joy's rose de Mai and Grasse jasmine heart, then grounded the fragrance in wood and white musk. Besides sandalwood, he created an accord to mimic a dark, tight-grained exotic wood popular in the Art Deco furniture that would have been made in Joy's heyday. Other notes include bergamot, mandarin, marigold, peach, cedar and amber.
Fontaine really did give Joy Forever a story. It starts with a burst of steamy clean, like what you might smell when entering a bathroom where someone is showering, and is soon joined by a vigorous dusting of pink pepper. The clean smell sweetens a touch and smooths, and the pepper fades. After about a quarter of an hour, we hit my favorite part of Joy Forever's development: a whiff of juicy iris. The iris doesn't last long, though, before getting sucked back into the composition.
Joy Forever's rose-jasmine combo is much tamer than Joy's lurid aria, and its jasmine shimmers more. (I should note that I've been testing Joy Forever against Joy Eau de Toilette and Extrait of uncertain age. Maybe the jasmine used to do all kinds of things it doesn't now.) Although the notes include peach, I don't smell any kind of in-your-face fruit.
A chiffon veil of white musk cloaks Joy Forever's rose-jasmine heart, and it endures all the way to Joy Forever's end, six or so hours later. Joy Forever's wood remains quiet and is never pushy. The fragrance simply vanishes bit by bit, leaving behind the scent of skin freshly scrubbed in soap and hot water.
It may simply be a question of personal style, but I prefer the fusty velvet of the old Joy. Then again, I would rather live in a 1930s house — Joy's vintage — than a newly built home even with a microwave, dishwasher, and cable TV, and I'd gladly forgo every frock at Bergdorf's for a Jean Patou bias-cut day dress.
That said, if you appreciate a clean, classic perfume and don't want the overripe, slightly abstruse feel of Joy, Joy Forever is definitely worth sampling.
Jean Patou Joy Forever Eau de Parfum comes in 30 ml (85 €), 50 ml (120 €), and 75 ml (150 €) sizes and will be available in October 2013.
To me, Joy Forever is more sophisticated than the average woman in her 20s might like–at least, it's not a blatantly "easy" fragrance, if you know what I mean. But it is very "fresh" smelling to me.
I'd love to live in Coco's apartment, too!
My solution to excessive "wrapping" is to apply sparingly. I've got a bottle of edt with the black cap (80s or 90s?), and a vintage parfum that I haven't cracked into yet. This new iteration sounds fine for a modern interpretation, and I'll make a point of sampling. That said, Joy isn't an everyday sort of scent for me, but I love having it on hand. Thanks for the review!
That's kind of how I feel about Joy, too. I don't wear it everyday, but sometimes it's just perfect. I like it when I want to be ultra feminine, but strong, and not one bit coy.
You know, as far as these things go (perfume companies updating their classics to appeal to a younger generation), Patou has done a rather tactful job here. The original Joy is still in production and not drastically "modernized", there's a new flanker designed to play off the original while aiming at a more youthful crowd, and the house perfumer has copped to Joy's (arguably) dated quality in the nicest possible way. They could have pulled a YSL/Chanel/Dior/insert-venerable-fragrance-house-here and just decimated the composition with nary a heads-up to their faithful consumers. It also sounds like some thought went into this new version (and its PR).
I agree. I was so , so happy not to smell any of that foul woody musk that seems to be cropping up in so many department store fragrances.
I'll be sticking with old, reliable, creamy Joy.
It's a hard one to beat if you already love it.
There was definitely pink peppercorn going on. It seems like it's everywhere these days. I wonder why?
Gosh that was an interesting review. I would love to have been a fly on the wall (a French-speaking fly for the occasion) during the R & D conversations around developing the fragrance. So many age, nationality, and cultural (and class/financial) assumptions in all of the decisions–to recast an old classic using the old name but adding "Forever" as the flanker to evoke freshness… characterizations of American women vs. French women… the whole redux makes me wonder if Joy seems somehow older and more fustier in the French market than in the US. Honestly, the fragrance strikes me as remarkably unscanky, flowery, fresh, with…yes… quite a lot of whatdidyoucallit? wrapping.
I forgot to ask: Was there any point when Forever smelled like Joy? How similar are they? I wonder if Joy edp would be closer? My mother had a bottle of the edt when I was growing up, which she gave to me in HS. I loved it, but haven't sniffed it in years.
No, I never thought Joy Forever smelled just like Joy at any point, but during the middle of its development I could definitely smell the relationship through the jasmine-rose theme, but smelled through a clean veil.
That's an interesting question, whether Joy seems fustier to the French than to Americans somehow. Yet supposedly Joy is more popular here than in France. But maybe it simply isn't popular enough.
….I just hope they haven't given up on the real Joy yet! If Joy had half the marketing No. 5 did, it would be rolling out of stores by the gallon.
Well, it had to happen. No 5 has been updated, Shalimar so many times who's counting, and now Joy.
But the great thing about Joy, the 'middle finger' of the fragrance (love that!), was that it smelled expensive. Famously, the marketing campaign boasted of its costliness. So – does Joy Forever smell expensive I wonder? Does anyone care any more, in this age of greater affluence for more people? How do you flaunt your wealth these days?
I think the one thing that No. 5 had going for it–despite its potentially dated style–was the legend and continuous marketing. Joy has lived more on reputation, it seems. To me, Joy is easier to love at first sniff than No. 5, yet it doesn't sell nearly as much.
The Patou company guy we talked to stressed that Joy's formula is five times–or was it fifty times? now I can't remember" more expensive that "the most popular" luxury perfume, clearly referring to No. 5.
Joy Forever smells clean and well-bred, but not particularly expensive–at least not to me. And good question about wealth and the allure, or not, of smelling expensive. Clive Christian must think it still matters, at least.
Yes, he must. Maybe these days people with money want to smell 'different' rather than 'expensive'. Differentiating yourself from the mainstream is the aim. I reckon Le Labo goes for that market.
I'm going to be in the minority, I'm sure, but I can't wait to try Forever Joy! There is tuberose in the original that renders it unwearable for me, as much as the other notes appeal. I will be looking forward to this!
I'm looking forward to hearing how you like Joy Forever! It's not exactly to my taste, but I admire it all the same. Do let me know what you think of it.
Like maggiecat, I am looking forward to trying this! When I was reading your review, I had to do a double take at the end as I thought I read "overripe, slightly abusive feel" and thinking why would a perfume be abusive? Of course I belatedly realized I misread "abstruse".
It does look like "abusive," doesn't it? I didn't even notice that. I was just excited to pull "abstruse" out of the ole vocab quiver.
Remember EnJoy? This does seem to be a better take on trying to youth-enize the stalwart fragrance than that was, and I will give it a sniff at some point (and then proclaim how much I love Joy, I suspect. Wore it on my wedding day, after all.).
The name, however, does give me pause. I loved Patou Forever. So of course they discontinued it!
EnJoy! I forgot about that one, and I even used to have a big tub of the body creme (thank you Marshall's). In Joy Forever, at least, they ditched the obvious fruit note.
I suspect you'll prefer straight Joy, too, but then again I remember you often have good luck with flankers.
I forgot about it too. Not that I have ever tried it but is shows up on the discount sites all the time when you search for Patou. Was it any good? I notice it has notes of banana and pear. Ack, I'm thinking.
I actually enjoy EnJoy! It doesn't smell overwhelmingly of pear, and I don't notice the banana; to me it smells like what I used to think of as "French" perfume – quite grownup (surprisingly, given that it was aimed at the younger customer) and sophisticated, and without a definite note that I could pin down.
Now's the time to snap up some discounted bottles, then!
I thought EnJoy was nice enough to use up a tub of body creme, but I'm not crying that it's gone. The pear and banana–especially the banana–were there, but not overdone, at least I didn't think so.
My guess is that the orange blossom is a stand-in for "clean" and "innocent," to some extent. Americans have a reputation for loving their showers are fresh-smelling detergents, as well as not yet being too jaded by life.
It makes me wonder what smells represent women of other nationalities. English women might equal rose, I guess. I'm stumped for others, but it would be a fun parlor game.
I don't know any American woman that isn't jaded by life. Most of us either are hoping to score unpaid work or are earning below a living wage despite being thousands of dollars in debt (either because of school, hospital bills, or other reasons).
But hey! We still smell fresh as orange blossom!
Can't resist inserting snarky comment: Oh you know the French…can't figure out how we had a successful Revolution and they didn't– we seem so idealistic and naive and yet, and yet, and yet … orange blossoms my….
Ya ya.. okay. Very sorry. That was uncalled for… but orange blossom? Really?
I like orange blossom when it's handled well (although I have to admit that iris and galbanum sound very nice!). Seville a l'aube, for instance, is a gorgeous orange blossom.
I loved reading your review.
Do you know where Joy Forever will be sold?
It sounds like it will have pretty wide distribution–basically, wherever you might find Joy, you should be able to find Joy Forever.


At a leading international affairs program, the microphone is used quite often outside the classroom. The acoustics amplify the voice, accentuating the words that make for great speeches when thought leaders, heads of state, career diplomats, development economists, human right advocates, journalists and other academics visit.
The microphones come into full swing during various culture night performances showcasing diverse song and dance from various corners of the globe. Microphones are generally associated with pomp and show, celebrities, the lights, and razzmatazz. But that's not always the case, for there is another night not on any official Fletcher calendar, with no tickets on Eventbrite, and it's not meant to be a show-stopper.
At this event, the microphones epitomize the intimacy and the special feeling of the night. Open Mic nights are a special Fletcher tradition celebrating a night of music, poetry, and artistic sharing where Fletcher students express their non-academic selves in a convivial and encouraging environment. Open Mic Nights are usually held in a Fletcher house, and the setting is intimate, dimly lit, and informal. The idea is to encourage both first-time and experienced performers who are endowed with hidden musical, lyrical, and poetic talents to showcase their brilliance. Past performances have included solo pieces, musical performances, poetry readings, spoken word, magic tricks, stand-up comedy, photo exhibitions, and storytelling.
There is revelry in the air to go along with the melodious voices, riveting poetry, and scintillating finger movement on various musical instruments. Nothing epitomizes the Fletcher community more than Open Mic Nights. My co-organizers and I have been approached by first-years expressing thanks for putting this together, and by second-years and alums grateful for keeping the tradition alive. Open Mic Night showcases the many hidden talents lurking the corridors of Fletcher.
Compared to my talented peers, my keyboard skills and ability to hold a high note are rusty, but I did volunteer in my first Open Mic Night in 2017 to write and narrate a few lines. My penchant for procrastination meant that I forgot to write anything and hence I found myself having to do something on the spot. So, I did write a few lines about Fletcher.
As the world succumbed to fear.
The US, meanwhile, faced the Great Depression.
Started a new school on the hill.
Through astute learning & in-depth policies.
From climate change to human rights.
But wait, you ask, what about finance & jobs at a bank?
Although if you ask us, we will admit that alcohol today is the real liquid asset.
Than having a four-star admiral as its dean.
But their jokes cannot compare to Professor Drezner's hilarious tweets.
And under certain administrations, that could seal their bureaucratic fate.
At times making the occasional joke about President Donald John Trump.
A big little school called Fletcher at Tufts University.


Learn how to add or get Android Recycle Bin to your smartphone using Dumpster App and ES File Explorer App.
If you've been using a PC or computer, you might have heard of Recycle Bin for Windows or Trash Can for Mac users. This recycle bin is the place or location of the files that you have deleted.
Whats good about this feature is that you can restore files anytime if needed or if you accidentally delete a file such as important documents, photos or videos.
This feature has been enjoying by PC users for years now but when it comes to mobile platform, this is nowhere to be found.
If you're using your Android smartphone for a while and if you accidentally delete an important file in your phone, you cannot bring it back or restore since Android phones have no built-in Recycle Bin.
Except that you have a cloud backup, you can never, ever restore a file from Android phone but luckily we have the option to add recycle bin using a third party software.
So, stop worrying now because we've got your back. In this article we will show you two(2) ways on how you can add or get Android Recycle Bin to your smartphone for FREE..
Dumpster is a free app which you can use to add Recycle Bin. It works just like the recycle bin on your computer and you don't need to root your phone when using this app.
It gives you the ability to recover deleted files such as Images(jpg, png, tif), Videos(mpeg, avi, mp4), Audio(mp3,wma,ogg), your important Documents(pdf, doc, ppt) and other files such as zip, rar, apk and many more.
You can manually delete files from Dumpster or automatically purge it in a given time like 1 week, 1 month or 3 months.
You can also protect deleted files by restricting access using lockscreen. Another feature is that you can save storage space by backing deleted files to cloud. However, these two features are for premium only.
ES File Explorer is FREE app which you can use to manage your files and folder easily and effectively in a local or even in network use to share files without spending a dime.
I've been using ES File Explorer for years now and I'm really satisfy about this app. I have used it in many applications such as sharing files between Android and PC and viewing of saved Wi-Fi passwords in Android phone.
beside Home to access and activate some features of the app.
Enable Recycle Bin by sliding the switch on.
Having a recycle bin like Dumpster or ES File Explorer in your Android smartphone is good. You can easily restore intentionally or accidentally deleted files with just a simple click.
However, using this app means, you're aware that this will eat your storage. What I mean is that, we are deleting files to increase storage space on our Android phone, right?.
But when you use recycle bin, you are not actually deleting it. It' just simply moving the file to a new location which you can access anytime and that is what we called 'Recycle Bin'.
How's this process to you? Did we help you in some ways? Feel free to leave a feedback in the comment section below.


Marco Arment on piracy in the digital age, by way of an absurdly intuitive example I'm stealing immediately to explain to everyone I know.
Relying solely on yelling about what's right isn't a pragmatic approach for the media industry to take. And it's not working. It's unrealistic and naïve to expect everyone to do the "right" thing when the alternative is so much easier, faster, cheaper, and better for so many of them.
Read Right versus pragmatic at Marco.org. I should probably stop trying to explain this stuff, and just link to his post every time it comes up.


At the same time as George W Bush landed on Landvetter, the police was surrounding Hvitfeldtska Gymnasiet in Gothenburg. It was the 14th of july 2001, the first day of EU's top meeting. The photographer Nils Petter Löfstedt was one of the 455 people who got arrested that evening. This film is based on the stills he took inside of Hvitfeldtska Gymnasiet.
The film was shown on Swedish Television SVT, YLE, CPH:DOX, Västerbottens museum, Umeå Filmfestival, Stanica in Slovakia and Kulturhuset in Stockholm.

Q: What is difference between PropertyOverrideConfigurer and PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer? What are the differences between using PropertyOverrideConfigurer and PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer in the Spring framework? I'm unable to find any solid difference between these 2 classes.

A: PropertyOverrideConfigurer :

"Property resource configurer that overrides bean property values in
  an application context definition. It pushes values from a properties
  file into bean definitions."

it allows you to override some values that beans take, means you can override some values of spring beans from properties defined in property file
declare:
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyOverrideConfigurer">
    <property name="location" value="classpath:myproperties.properties" />
</bean>

<bean id="person" class="com.sample.Employee" >
       <property name="name" value="Dugan"/>
       <property name="age" value="50"/>
</bean>

myproperties.properties:
person.age=40
person.name=Stanis

so when you load the bean
Employee e  = (Employee)context.getBean(Employee.class);

e.getAge() => 40
e.getName() => "Stanis"

PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer :

resolves ${...} placeholders against local properties and/or system
  properties and environment variables.

it allows you to resolve ${..} placeholders in bean definitions, it also checks for System properties for values. This behavior can be controlled with systemPropertiesMode

*

*never (0): Never check system properties

*fallback (1): Check system properties if not resolvable in the
specified properties files. This is the default.

*override (2): Check system properties first, before trying the
specified properties files. This allows system properties to override
any other property source.

to configure
<bean id="dataSource"
        class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">

        <property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
        <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb" />
        <property name="username" value="root" />
        <property name="password" value="password" />
        <property name="systemPropertiesMode" value="0" />
    </bean>

move the 'dataSource' properties to property files
database.properties
jdbc.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb
jdbc.username=root
jdbc.password=password

then refer them with place holders =>
<bean
    class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">

    <property name="location">
        <value>database.properties</value>
    </property>
</bean>

<bean id="dataSource"
        class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">

        <property name="driverClassName" value="${jdbc.driverClassName}" />
        <property name="url" value="${jdbc.url}" />
        <property name="username" value="${jdbc.username}" />
        <property name="password" value="${jdbc.password}" />
    </bean>

By Dale Gregory Anderson January 16, 2020 January 16, 2020 design, grammar, typography, writing
Typography is the art of arranging letters, numbers, and symbols and has long been a vital component in the world of marketing. In the digital age, graphic designers and art directors select typefaces and use typography to craft messages that inform, inspire trust, connect with audiences, and build brands.
When it comes to creating content that drives action, details matter. Even the smallest typo or error can send the wrong message.
For example, because most word processors and graphic design programs automatically replace straight quotes with smart quotes (sometimes called curly quotes), it has become increasingly common to see a single opening quote trying to pass itself off as an apostrophe. In fact, one observant writer refers to this phenomenon as the apostrophe catastrophe and provides some poignant examples of backwards apostrophes on everything from bumper stickers and billboards to websites and even a professional basketball court.
As you can see, a single opening quote is not the same thing as an apostrophe:
Congratulations to the class of '19.
The single opening quote is incorrect.
Congratulations to the class of '19.
The apostrophe is correct.
Straight quotes vs. smart quotes
Word processors and design programs use auto-correct to replace straight quotes (sometimes called dumb quotes) with smart quotes. This feature works with double quotation marks, single quotation marks, and apostrophes:
"Here's looking at you, kid."
straight quotes
smart quotes
Quotation marks take on different shapes depending on whether they're opening or closing:
opening quote
(shaped like a tiny 66)
closing quote
single opening quote
(shaped like a tiny 6)
single closing quote
(Note: In some typefaces, the difference between opening and closing smart quotes is very subtle or nonexistent.)
The apostrophe vs. the single closing quote
An apostrophe (') and a single closing quote (') look identical, though they're two different forms of punctuation.
We use apostrophes to represent missing letters in contractions, to form possessives, to represent missing numbers, and, in rare cases, for clarity:
it's = it is
don't = do not
your company's bottom line
Minnesota's best parks
cross your t's
dot your i's
Note that apostrophes almost always appear in the middle of a word:
"I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."
We use single quote marks, on the other hand, primarily for quotes within quotes:
"The word 'disruption' gets thrown around a lot these days," she said.
A word processor's smart quotes feature uses spaces to determine whether to insert an opening or closing quote. And, word processors automatically render apostrophes as single closing quotes.
When an apostrophe comes at the start of a word (or numeral), word processors automatically—and incorrectly—render it as a single opening quote. However, the correct form of punctuation here is an apostrophe:
The Minnesota Twins won the World Series in '87 and '91.
The single opening quotes are incorrect.
The Minnesota Twins won the World Series in '87 and '91.
The apostrophes are correct.
Is the backwards apostrophe the end of the world? Probably not. But it's wrong, and errors can reflect poorly on your brand, particularly if you value attention to detail.
Of course, some people won't notice the mistake. Or they may assume the backwards apostrophe is correct. But anyone who works in marketing should know the difference and stamp out backwards apostrophes whenever we see them. We should ban backwards apostrophes the way the rock band Van Halen demanded that no brown M&Ms be allowed backstage at their concerts back in the '80s. (Hint: It had nothing to do with brown M&Ms.)
How to override your word processor and insert an apostrophe
If you're ready to join the good fight to save the apostrophe in the digital age, here are six ways to type an apostrophe when your software insists on inserting a single opening smart quote:
Use the Mac keyboard shortcut: option + shift + ].
Use the Windows keyboard shortcut: alt + 0 1 4 6.
Insert an apostrophe/single closing quote from the Symbols dialog box.
Type two apostrophes and delete the first one.
Type ' in code editing software.
Copy and paste a smart apostrophe from another source.
If all else fails, as a last resort, simply disable the smart quotes feature and use a straight quote instead.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (HNN) - Redshirt freshman DeAndre Kane tied for the game-high with 20 points to lead the Marshall University men's basketball team to an 85-70 victory over Memphis on Saturday evening at the Cam Henderson Center.
Kane hit 6-of-14 shots for the Thundering Herd (14-7, 2-4 C-USA) while hitting six out of seven free throws. Leading the way for the Tigers (16-5, 5-2 C-USA) was Will Barton, who tallied 20 points on an 8-17 performance from the floor.
The lead changed hands twice early on, but with Memphis up 12-11 with 12:25 remaining in the opening period, the Herd took the lead for good, going on a 26-8 run over the next ten minutes to take a 17-point, 37-20 advantage. The Herd connected on 9-of-15 shots over that span.
Marshall would find itself up 12, 39-27, at the half and just over six minutes into the second stanza, a Dago Pena three reestablished the Herd's 17-point advantage.
With Marshall up 57-41 with 11:27 remaining, Memphis showed some fight, cutting the Herd's lead to just five points, 62-57, with 7:19 left in the game. Marshall, looking to avoid losing a double-digit second-half lead for the third-consecutive game, rose to the occasion, going on a 9-1 run, which was helped by four and-ones on four straight trips down the floor.
The Herd kept the pressure on, seeing its lead grow to as many as 20 points in the final minute before finishing with the 85-70 win.
Tirrell Baines and Damier Pitts recorded 17 points apiece for MU. Baines also led all players with eight boards. Shaquille Johnson scored ten points in 33 minutes of play.
Tarik Black notched 14 points for the Tigers while Joe Jackson finished with 12.
Marshall outrebounded Memphis by a 38-34 margin and also finished with a 46.6%-42.4% shooting advantage.
Marshall will look to keep the momentum going as it travels to Houston to face the Cougars. The game is set for 9 p.m. ET and will be televised by CBS College Sports.

Fashionable Activewear Brand ICONI Inspires, Innovates and Uplifts
Okodee Mmowere is the Adinkra symbol for strength and versatility used by the Oyoko clan of present day Ghana. Meaning "The Talons of the Eagle," Denver's newest activewear brand ICONI is hitting the fitness fashion scene with this stoic symbol as its overlay to inspire and motivate.
The brand has just launched three new legging and sports bra colors — Motivated Maroon, Optimistic Olive and Balance Blue — and has even added its newest addition this past month, biker shorts.
In 2019 — on September 15th at 1 a.m. to be exact — inspiration struck Angel Johnson after working a long nightshift. She'd disliked spending so much money on leggings that would eventually turn out to be see-through or have unreliable waistbands that would roll down. Johnson had already been contemplating starting a business which drove her to figure out a solution. "I started sketching a legging because I love activewear fashion and it just clicked for me," she told 303 Magazine.
As an active duty military member and a fitness and activewear lover, she came up with a plan to create both fashionable and functional activewear that'd be worth every dollar spent. "I've had embarrassing moments where I'd spent $70 on leggings just for a friend to point out that she could see my underwear color when I was squatting!" Johnson revealed.
Just two weeks after her epiphany, the brand's first legging went into production and ICONI was officially born. The business began with the Resilient Red Core Legging, Goals Gray Core Legging and Icon Open Back Top. Now, in less than a year, it has expanded its horizons with greater product and sizing offerings, a bigger fan-base and even introducing a men's line.
Like Okodee Mmowere, there's also great significance behind the meaning of ICONI — I Can Overcome, Nothing's Impossible is the brand's acronym spelled out. Its intention has been to promote power, strength and motivation through each of its carefully designed and tested pieces. In or out of the gym, Johnson has felt that these three distinct pillars are necessary for any journey or goal someone may have
"Throughout my life, those aspects have helped me overcome challenges such as being one of the first hundred Black women to graduate from The Citadel, being a Black woman military officer and now starting my own business. I Can Overcome, Nothing's Impossible is not just about fitness but also overcoming struggles."
The physical and mental challenges that Johnson faced while attending a military college forced her to dig deep in order to overcome obstacles and do the seemingly impossible. To move mountains and live victoriously have been some of the reasons why ICONI has resonated with so many.
Johnson and her team understand that life can sometimes be challenging and have made it their promise to help uplift others as the brand continues to grow. With this in mind, ICONI donates 10% of its profits to nonprofit organizations. The brand has been able to donate $1,000 in total to Clothes to Kids of Denver and Minnesota Freedom Fund in its mere infancy as a business
When asked about her own volunteering experience and where her innate desire to help others comes from Johnson told 303,
"My mom always taught me the value of gratitude and giving back. Throughout my life, I've volunteered with various organizations from Toys for Tots and The Special Olympics to food banks. I'm currently a volunteer leader with Project Helping and volunteer at Clothes to Kids of Denver. I think it's important to uplift others while uplifting myself."
Inclusivity and positivity have also been at the forefront of the brand's mission since its very conception. To Johnson, Black businesses in the fitness fashion industry can often be overlooked. After all, current representation and diversity in fashion doesn't have the sunniest outlook.
Johnson has had immense admiration and love for all of the women who have supported ICONI and created a strong sisterhood. "I love that Black women are featured all over my website and social media pages and are not just tokens like we see with other big brands," she stated.
This has meant that ICONI's customers and followers have had quite a say in the brand's design process. Jonson told 303 that she actually is receptive to learning about what they want to see and what they'd enjoy wearing. Powerful quotes and words and even colors also inspire her as a designer to create the brand's apparel. To Johnson, having an ICONI wearer look down at their athletic attire, at the gym, and get motivated all over again is a definite success.
Maintaining high standards to produce the best-of-the-best activewear is just as important as the message they promote. ICONI follows a strict guideline of what is considered high-quality before putting its name on it.
"We test everything extensively! We squat, run, jump, stretch, do yoga, etc. in our leggings before they ever go into production. We test them in the gym and outside in the sun to ensure you can't see the color of your underwear through our leggings," Johnson attested.
In essence, all leggings and shorts need to be squat proof, chafe resistant and must be moisture wicking. Sports bras are tested under the same scrutiny, however rather than being squat proof — of course — they need to be breathable. As for all products, logos and other graphics on clothing must be able to withstand several cycles in washing machines and dryers without experiencing peeling.
ICONI's most popular products are the Goals Gray legging and Drive Two-Tone legging, particularly for their support during tough workouts. Johnson also recommends the Goals Gray legging for everyday activities because of its body-flattering fit. And for moments to lounge, she tells us that ICONI's crop tops are excellent at home since they're so lightweight and comfy.
"It takes a certain strength to control your total wellness, especially when starting a fitness journey," Johnson shared when asked about Okodee Mmowere. ICONI's fierce mission to simultaneously inspire and innovate in an industry where inclusion is much needed is in itself a remarkable feat.

Are jon and hannah from love island still together
Posted on 22.11.2018 by Dionisia C.
Love Island: Where are the original gang from 2015 now?
Here's what the former Love Island cast members are up to now
Which Love Island couples are still together from series 1, 2, 3 and 4?
All of the Love Island couples that are still together (and those that aren't)
15 hours ago Here's a look back at the Love Island couples who are still together, and who got well and truly mugged off.
and can for and what to do on a laptop when your bored how do you know if you have viking ancestry 7 min workout for beginners
Love Island season five is in full swing, but what are the contestants of Love Island up to now? We watched on as the Love Island season 1 line-up of buff, bronzed singletons entered a villa in the Majorca sun for the first time. There were tears, tantrums, declarations of love, fall-outs, a meet-the-parents and even an engagement. Starting things off with a bang, John and Hannah Elizabeth were the first couple to pair up on day one. Had such a gorj meal with my fam to reveal babs gender love you all!
Love Island is back for a fourth series in a few weeks, and we can't wait for the usual blend of sun, sand and shenanigans when the next bunch of hopeful romantics head into the villa. Every year, a new cast of romantic singletons land in Majorca looking for love, but it's safe to say not everyone gets their fairytale ending. Back in , the show got a revival with Caroline Flack at the helm, and ditched celebs for ordinary folk. Let's cast our mind back to the first series and see where some of our favourites have ended up three years on. Worked out for her in the end, then! Well, as we just found out, their relationship didn't last � but he went on to date Charlotte Crosby and Zara Holland, and also made an appearance on Ex On The Beach last summer after announcing his plans to ditch full-time work in favour of being a socialite.
All of the Love Island couples that are still together (and those that aren't) For some of the villa residents, Love Island helped them find their happily ever after. But for other contestants, things just didn't . Love Island Hannah and Jon.

While Hannah, 28 and Jon, 28, fell for each other in the Spanish villa, it didn't last back on British soil. She replied: "Of course I would. Oh my God. You're the best man I've ever met in my entire life. Yes, I'll be your wife. The couple returned to Spain later in the year as a make-or-break holiday, but called off their engagement in October
The summer reality TV show took over our lives last year, and we're expecting the same when it kicks off this year, too. As invested as many fans were in the show, they were equally as keen to know which couples have been able to make their love last outside of the villa. But before we ready ourselves for another summer filled with countless conversations about recoupling, getting mugged off, and not putting all of your eggs in one basket, let's take a look at which couples were able to make their relationship last - and which weren't - after leaving the villa. Things seemed to be a bit touch-and-go for the pair after Zara was dumped from the villa - mainly because Adam stayed and recoupled with Casa Amor's Darylle. But after the reunited on the outside world, Zara and Adam soon reconciled - with the fitness trainer admitting on Aftersun that he " per cent" loves Zara. Once in the outside world, the pair filled their social media feeds with snaps from their adventures around the world. However, their relationship came to an end this week as Zara confirmed their split.
The summer reality TV show took over our lives last year, and we're expecting the same when it kicks off on June 4. But before we ready ourselves for countless conversations about recoupling, getting mugged off, and not putting all of your eggs in one basket, let's take a look at what some of the previous Islanders are up to now. Jess was, easily, the underdog throughout the ITV2 dating's show's inaugural series Jess has since moved on with someone new. There were a lot of back-and-forth spats, as well as plenty of sweet reconciliation - including the time Jon told her she made him feel like a unicorn. Meanwhile, Lauren has stepped out of the spotlight.
LOVE Island has been growing in popularity each year - but whatever happened to the stars of the first series in the reboot?, Since Love Island returned to our TV screens in , the show has grown in popularity year on year, with the fourth series coming to an end in July.
But back to � and what a season to kick off our now huge obsession. There were tears, tantrums, declarations of love, fall-outs, a meet-the-parents and even an engagement. Credit: ITV2. Starting things off with a bang, JB and Hannah Elizabeth were the first couple to pair up on day one. They argued a lot, but also had the most heartwarming kiss-and-make-up conversations. Jess Hayes was the underdog throughout the ITV2 series. She had quite a few rows, but became one of the most-loved girls in there, probably because she was so relatable.
Despite what you might think, just because you manage to find 'love' in a romantic villa in Mallorca, it doesn't mean it will last a lifetime - especially when you're back in drizzly ol' Blighty. So here's a look back at the Love Island couples who are still together, and who got well and truly mugged off. They may have only come second during the Love Island final, we're still convinced these guys have a long future ahead of them. Curtis and Maura had to dodge split rumours in August They may have had a few problems on the show, but Anton and Belle seem stronger than ever now they're out of the villa. These two show no sign of slowing their relationship down.

Kevin Stefanski discusses JoJo Natson, Harrison Bryant in video conference: Transcript
Filling the role of JoJo Natson, who tore ACL in Browns win over Washington
By Scott Patsko, cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio – Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski answered questions from local media via video conference on Monday.
Here's a transcript, as provided by the Browns' media-relations department:
Opening statement:
"(WR) JoJo Natson unfortunately suffered an ACL tear there. He is out for the season. Disappointed for him. He will go to IR. (LB) Tae Davis has that elbow injury. We will monitor that. He will miss some time, but we are just going to monitor that one. (CB) Denzel (Ward) with the groin was not able to go there for much of the second half but hopeful that he will be able to work through it this week. I do want to point out that there are a ton of guys that are fighting through these injuries that are working their tails off to get out there on the practice field and make it to the game. I think that is a great testament to this team and guys pushing through these injuries. On that note, (CB) Greedy (Williams), (LB) Jacob Phillips, OV (DE Olivier Vernon), all these guys are progressing, and we will see where they are throughout this week."
On how the 11-play drive in the second half that opened up the run game and offense:
"We were a resilient bunch there yesterday. We went down [7-0] and we were down 20-17 so we had to answer. I thought the guys did that. The ground game takes 11 guys, like we have talked about before. I thought all those guys, and I would single out the receivers as well, (WR) Odell (Beckham Jr.), (WR) KhaDarel (Hodge), (WR) Jarvis (Landry) and all those guys blocking downfield. Speaking of Odell, four catches, four huge plays. Four first downs, which was very big for us. Really pleased with the effort that those guys are putting out there."
On losing Natson for the remainder of the season, including with how the Browns were using Natson on offense:
"Disappointed. Hate long-term injuries like that. JoJo was doing a nice job for us, like you mentioned, on the offensive side. As an offensive staff, those guys will sit down and kind of figure out if there is another guy on the roster that can do those types of things, and we have to continue to as much as we can try and be difficult to defend. Like you mentioned with JoJo's role, we will work through that."
On playing with three WRs after Natson left the game:
"We had four total up and then JoJo goes out so we had three. That is right. That is what you do when you are putting these inactives together. You are kind of thinking about what the game is going to look like and what might happen. Once we went down to three, we definitely stayed in some personnel groupings that limited the amount of receivers on the field."
On if the wind was a more a factor yesterday than realized:
"I would not say it was more of a factor, but being on Lake Erie you know that wind is going to be a factor. We know that. I will tell you there were conversations throughout the game of really which way it was blowing, and that seemed to change throughout the game. Anytime you are playing at FirstEnergy Stadium, we are mindful of what the wind is doing. "
On what it means for the team when playmakers like Beckham and DE Myles Garrett are making big plays in key moments:
"We are counting on those guys. As coaches, we try and put them in spots to succeed. Sometimes we do and sometimes we do not do a great job of that and then those guys just make plays. That is what we are counting on. You mentioned Odell and you mentioned Myles, those guys are really talented football players, and I am counting on them and teammates are counting on them, and they come through. That is the nature of this beast."
On TE Harrison Bryant's development:
"Those tight ends as a whole, we are putting them sometimes at the point of attack in the run game and sometimes on the backside asking them to do different things in the run actions and blocking defensive ends. We are putting a lot on his plate. Fortunately for us, he studies very hard so he knows where he is supposed to be and does a nice job. He is coming along."
On how encouraging it is to see Browns TEs embracing their roles as blockers, given Bryant's reaction to making a big block on a TD run:
"Yeah, that tight end position is such a versatile role. They have to be able to affect the pass game and the run game, showing a little emotion like he did there is always a good thing."
On RB Nick Chubb scoring a TD on a cutback run after the hole seeming available during an earlier play and how much of that is due to Chubb's vision or coaching adjustments:
"It is a little bit of both. I will tell you, having coached the running backs before, you have to just give them their reads and then get out of their way. You do not want a running back who overthinks it. He has his technique. (Run game coordinator/running backs coach) Stump (Mitchell) does a great job with that entire room. Stump gives them the read, gives them their technique and then lets those guys trust their eyeballs."
On S Karl Joseph's leadership in the Browns secondary:
"Karl does a nice job. That entire room is a great mix of young and old. I hesitate to call Karl an old guy, but he has kind of been through a lot in his career, has great perspective and really does provide mentorship to the younger guys in that room."
On if he believes LB Mack Wilson and CB Kevin Johnson were able to knock off enough rust to earn more playing time moving forward:
"I do. I think there is a ramping up to this thing. I think it happens out here on the practice field. Like you mentioned, it happens on the game field and getting them those game reps. I would anticipate that both those guys and a lot of these guys coming back from injury will slowly but surely add to their rep totals."
On QB Baker Mayfield having less than 10 pass attempts in the second half of the past two games, both of which were wins, and if that is a favorable formula:
"I think the favorable formula is having a lead in that fourth quarter, and if you can run it efficiently and be smart about how you throw it, that is the formula for winning, but we do not go into it thinking about the number of attempts."
On what he hopes T Jedrick Wills Jr.'s learns from his penalties:
"I think he was disappointed in those two penalties. I know I was. I let him know that. That is part of this deal, you have to be great with the cadence. Those were two that he wants back. We can't let that happen. We just have to make sure that we clean that up. Once he settled in, he played really solid football for us, but I do not want him to have to go through that to settle in."
On being close on the sideline to Joseph's hit on Washington WR Antonio Gandy-Golden:
"Yeah, I did have a very good view of that one and a very clean, solid hit along the boundary there. Nice job."
On the opportunity for players like WR Donovan Peoples-Jones with Natson out for the season, both on special teams and offense:
"We will work through that. I think we have some candidates in the building. That is something that I am going to sit down with Prief (special teams coordinator Mike Priefer) and talk through as this week unfolds of how we want to attack this."
On the difference in the Browns running game's production in the first half compared to the second half:
"I think these are some good defenses we are facing. I think that is a very good defensive front. It did not happen early for us. I believe in our run attack. I believe in that line. I believe later in the game, those guys can lean on people, and then you saw Nick and (RB) Kareem (Hunt) make some plays. It is just something that we felt confident in, and you can't get discouraged knowing that you are going against some really good fronts in this league."

Penelope Cruz: The first minutes after Oscar
Penelope Cruz after the Opra Winfrey show
The next morning after "Oscars" The Spanish actress visited the Winfrey program, where she told everything that she felt on a victorious night.
Laureate "Oscars" For the role of the second plan in the ironic drama "Vicki. Kristina. Barcelona" Penelope Cruz on the Oprah Winfrey show admitted that when Angelica Houston, Goldi Hawn, Wupi Goldberg, Eva Marie Saint and Tilda Swinton went to the stage to declare her nomination, the heart went on heels.
It was incredible to see these five amazing actresses. It was a very special and long moment that made my heart beat increasingly. When the envelope was opened, and Tilda looked at me, I actually thought that I would faint. I was spinning in my head: I will go up there if she says my name? You want to win and experience incredible fear at the same time. In fact, I was very afraid to fall, the last weeks, I had to constantly fly from Europe to America, attending a large number of pre -scammers, at the same time work on a new film was going on.
Penelope laughs:
I don't complain, it was an amazing adventure, but I honestly thought that I would faint that night. This was supposed to happen before, but it seemed to me what would happen then. Whatever the scenario!
Oprah asked why on "Oscars" The bridegroom of Penelope Javier Bartem, last year's laureate of the award was not present.
My family and friends were with me. Of course, Javier congratulated me, but we will not discuss this.
Penelope Cruz and actress who announced her nomination
Meanwhile, the congratulations of Penelope from his native Spain poured from a cornucopia. The first telegrams were sent by the royal family and the Cabinet of Ministers, led by Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Dansh. And Pedro Almodovar did not hesitate to say that he was crying with happiness, learning about the victory of his beloved actress.

A long-time science propagandist for the GMO industry, Henry I. Miller has just been exposed as an academic prostitute for Monsanto. Named a "Robert Wesson Fellow" covering so-called "Scientific Philosophy and Public Policy at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University," Henry Miller has just been exposed as a science fraud and professional liar who shills for Monsanto, one of the world's largest producers of agricultural poisons and toxic seeds.
The documents, which include internal emails and memos, reveals among other things, how Henry I. Miller, a Robert Wesson Fellow in Scientific Philosophy and Public Policy at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, allowed Monsanto to ghostwrite an editorial he published in Forbes.com and claimed as his own in 2015.
The 2015 editorial attacked the decision by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a branch of the World Health Organization, to classify glyphosate as a probable carcinogen.
For two years, Miller was believed to be the writer of those words. But now, emails between Miller and Monsanto employees show the company wrote the piece and Miller added a couple of words to it prior to publication.
In other words, Henry Miller was lying all along, and Forbes.com is once again exposed as a propaganda rag for Monsanto.
Miller helped found the tobacco industry front group "The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition, which is now defunct. From the 1930s to the late 1960s, thousands of doctors in the U.S. endorsed cigarettes as healthy and even recommended their favorite brands in advertisements published in prestigious medical journals and magazines like JAMA. Miller was also the director of ACSH, American Council on Science and Health, a controversial organization that's been called a biotech industry front group, where other members (writers) have been caught in scandals, domestic violence cases, and purporting unfounded and unproven theories about GMO as being facts that are science based.
In the spring of 2015, and within weeks of Dr. Oz airing his show about the dangers of glyphosate and Roundup, one Dr. Henry Miller coordinated a letter from a group of physicians written to the attention of Columbia University outright demanding that the College of Physicians and Surgeons remove Dr. Mehmet Oz as a professor of surgery, claiming in the letter that Oz has "shown disdain for science and for evidence-based medicine … for personal financial gain." Of course the letter did not mention glyphosate, but Dr. Oz did not take any position regarding glyphosate on his show either, rather Oz presented intense research conducted by WHO that does not support the Biotech declared stance on GMO that says everything ever created GMO is perfectly safe for humans and the environment, and that biotechnology will save the world. Signatories to the letter Miller drafted to Columbia include one Gilbert Ross, acting president and director of ASCH, an organization that defends the fracking industry and also has the mission of keeping GMO labels off of food in the state of California. Dr. Ross is a convicted criminal and Medicaid fraud artist who was "convicted of racketeering, mail fraud and conspiracy," and was "sentenced to 47 months in jail, $40,000 in forfeiture, and restitution of $612,855" in a scheme to defraud the Medicaid system, reports the U.S. Right to Know campaign in a page describing ACSH practices. Keeping consumers in the dark about GMO is at the top of the agenda for Miller and his constituents; however, all attempts to discredit Dr. Oz failed miserably and the whole "letter to Columbia" affair was discredited and dismantled.
There is no industry in America more steeped in criminal fraud, quack science, hucksterism and criminal behavior than the biotech industry. These are the people who have spent over $1 million on negative P.R. campaigns focused solely on discrediting myself (the Health Ranger) and the Food Babe, two outspoken whistleblowers who oppose toxic foods and the mass herbicide poisoning of the world. Monsanto and its academic prostitutes work diligently to actively poison all information sources — the media, Wikipedia, blog sites, etc. — with toxic lies that attempt to silence all anti-GMO activists, all while simultaneously poisoning the food supply with deadly, cancer-causing chemicals that destroy lives and cause untold human suffering.
Beyond mere corruption and criminality, the GMO industry represents "anti-Christ" technology and the fulfillment of Satanic goals of death, suffering and destruction for humankind. The GMO industry is, quite literally (no, not figuratively) run by people with demonic intent.

One of the terrible things in life is when a judge is given money or favors in order to have a court decision go the way guilty people want it to go. The courtroom is supposed to be the place where justice is given out to those who are victims in our world. It's a sad thing when this doesn't happen. It must make God very angry. So many times in the Bible, God comes forward to bring justice to those who are taken advantage of, such as poor people and orphans. These are persons who usually don't have someone to stand up for them, so God decides to do this Himself.
Do you know anyone who has a hard time being treated fairly in their life? If so, pray for that person, and make him or her a friend. God wants to love them, but God needs your smiles, hugs and acts of kindness to give them love.

Over the past few years, States and Indigenous People Organizations have outlined and defined their national priorities and policy objectives in the Arctic and on northern issues in response of a growing global strategic importance of the Arctic region. This process has involved not only the eight Arctic States and Arctic Indigenous Peoples, but also non-Arctic States both in Europe—such as France, Germany, and the United Kingdom—and in Asia—such as Japan and South Korea. In addition, it must be noticed that many other non-Arctic states have shown clear interests on Arctic issues (as for instance China and India, both accepted as observers at the Arctic Council), but they haven't (yet) developed a clear and formal Arctic policy.
Under this section, Arctic policies, strategies and vision for the Arctic released by the 8 Arctic states, indigenous peoples and non-Arctic states have been shortly presented. Links to the original texts are also provided.
Arctic Policies/Strategies by Arctic States
Canada's North is a fundamental part of Canada – it is part of our heritage, our future and our identity as a country. The Government has a vision for a new North and is taking action to ensure that vision comes to life – for the benefit of all Canadians. To meet the challenges and opportunities of a changing North, the Government has established a comprehensive Northern Strategy and is taking concrete action in four priority areas:
Exercising our Arctic sovereignty
Protecting our environmental heritage
Promoting social and economic development
Improving and devolving Northern governance
World-leading Arctic science and technology underpin the Northern Strategy and help ensure sound decision-making. The Government is committed to helping the North realize its true potential as a healthy, prosperous and secure region within a strong and sovereign Canada. [Canada's Northern Strategy]
Canada recognises the importance of addressing these issues through the Arctic Council, other multilateral institutions and its bilateral partnerships. Established in Ottawa in 1996, the Arctic Council is a high-level forum created to advance circumpolar cooperation.[Government of Canada]
Canada was the first Chair, to 1998, and assumed chairmanship again in 2013, which ended in 2015 (took over by U.S).
The Government of Canada introduced Canada's Northern Strategy in 2007 and in 2009 published "Canada's Northern Strategy: Our North, Our Heritage, Our Future" (Government of Canada 2009), followed by "Statement on Canada's Arctic Foreign Policy" (Government of Canada 2010) which was launched on August 2010.
Finland's new Strategy for the Arctic Region defines a number of objectives for Finland's Arctic policy and explores ways of promoting them. The strategy addresses local residents, education, research, the economy, infrastructure, the environment, stability and international cooperation in the Arctic. [...] Inherent in the perspectives created by the new strategy are the four pillars of policy outlined by the Government:
an Arctic country
Arctic expertise
Sustainable development and environmental considerations
Together, these elements define Finland's role in the Arctic region. It is Finland's objective to promote growth and actions to enhance competitiveness in the region with due regard to the local environment.
"Finland's Strategy for the Arctic Region" was adopted by the Finnish Cabinet Committee on the European Union (of the Government) in June 2010. It was published at the same time in Finnish and in September 2010 in English. The document was later updated in 2013: "Finland's Strategy for the Arctic Region 2013" (Government resolution on 23 August 2013).
"Althingi resolves to entrust the Government, after consultations with Althingi, with carrying out the following overarching policy on Arctic issues aimed at securing Icelandic interests with regard to the effects of climate change, environmental issues, natural resources, navigation and social development as well as strengthening relations and cooperation with other States and stakeholders on the issues facing the region" (A Parliamentary Resolution on Iceland's Arctic Policy).
The Report "Ísland á norðurslóðum" ("Iceland in the High North") was published by the Icelandic Ministry of Foreign Affairs in September 2009. This report was followed by "A Parliamentary Resolution on Iceland's Arctic Policy" which was approved by the Icelandic Parliament and later published in March 2011.
Kingdom of Denmark
"The Kingdom of Denmark is centrally located in the Arctic. The three parts of the Realm – Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands – share a number of values and interests and all have a responsibility in and for the Arctic region. The Arctic makes up an essential part of the common cultural heritage, and is home to part of the Kingdom's population". [...] "In the Kingdom's strategy for the Arctic 2011- 2020, the Government, the Government of the Faroes and the Government of Greenland have set out the most important opportunities and challenges as we see them today and in the near future. On that basis we have defined our common political objectives for the Arctic".
The Kingdom of Denmark's Strategy for the Arctic 2011-2020" was adopted by the Government of Denmark, the Government of the Faroe Islands and the Government of Greenland, and launched by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in August 2011.
However the Faroes Islands released their own paper on strategy and vision for the Arctic "Challenges and Opportunities in the Circumpolar North," (Foreign Service: Fisheries, Trade and Regional Policy Prime Minister's Office, Tórshavn, Faroe Islands, 2011) , updated in 2013 "The Faroe Islands: A Nation in the Arctic".
"We will build on the extensive efforts of previous governments. In the time ahead, the Government will give priority to the following five areas:
Environmental protection and emergency preparedness
We intend to work hard to put our Arctic policy into practice. You can read more about what we are doing, as well as what we have already achieved, in this report."
The report "Norway's arctic policy: Creating value, managing resources, confronting climate change and fostering knowledge. Developments in the Arctic concern us all." was presented by Prime Minister Erna Solberg and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Børge Brende in the city of Hammerfest 10 November 2014 (Please note: This English version of the report is an extract and updated version of the Norwegian report «Nordkloden», that was launched in November 2014).
The current Norwegian Arctic Policy builds on these previous policies:
"The Norwegian Government's High North Strategy" (Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs 2006), which was launched in December 2006
"New Building Blocks in the North" (Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs 2009)
"The basic national interests of the Russian Federation in the Arctic are:
a) use of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation as a strategic resource base of the Russian Federation providing the solution of problems of social and economic development of the country:
b) maintenance of the Arctic as a zone of peace and cooperation;
c) preservation of unique ecological systems of the Arctic;
d) use of the Northern Sea Route as a national single transport communication of the Russian Federation in the Arctic (further – the Northern Sea Route).
5. National interests determine basic objectives, primary goals and strategic priorities of the state policy of the Russian Federation in the Arctic. The realization of national interests of the Russian Federation in the Arctic is provided by institutions of the state power together with institutions of the civil society in strict conformity with the legislation of the Russian Federation and its international treaties." ("II. National Interests of the Russian Federation in the Arctic", in "Fundamentals of State Policy of the Russian Federation in the Arctic in the Period up to 2020")
The Arctic policy of the Russian Federation "Fundamentals of State Policy of the Russian Federation in the Arctic in the Period up to 2020" was adopted by President D. Medvedev in September 2008, and made public in 2009 (Rossiyskaya Gazeta, March 30 2009).
"The purpose of the Government's Strategy for the Arctic Region is to present Sweden's relationship with the Arctic, together with the current priorities and future outlook for Sweden's Arctic policy, proceeding from an international perspective. The strategy begins with a summary, followed by an introduction of Sweden as an Arctic country. Further, it specifies how, and through which international cooperation bodies and bilateral channels, the Government should seek to achieve its objectives for the Arctic. Finally, it discusses the top priorities in the strategy's three thematic areas: climate and the environment, economic development, and the human dimension. This is the first strategy the Government of Sweden has adopted on the Arctic as a whole, and should be seen as a starting-point for further development of cooperation in the region." [...]
Swedish priorities:
Climate and the environment
The human dimension.
The "Sweden's strategy for the Arctic region" was adopted by the Swedish Government in May 2011 (Ministry of Foreign Aff airs, Press release, 12 May 2011).
"To meet the challenges and opportunities in the Arctic region, and in furtherance of established Arctic Region Policy , we will pursue the following lines of effort and supporting objectives in a mutually reinforcing manner that incorporates the broad rangeof U.S. current activities and interests in the Arctic region.
1. Advance United States Security Interests
2. Pursue Responsible Arctic Region Stewardship
3. Strengthen International Cooperation"
The "National Strategy For The Arctic Region" was released by the White House (Obama's Administration)in May 2013. It builds on the previous policy,"National Security Presidential Directive/ NSPD – 66" concerning an "Arctic Region Policy", released on January 9, 2009 by President Bush's Administration.
Arctic Policies/Strategies by Indigenous Peoples
Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC)
"Thirty years ago when the process of formulating a comprehensive Inuit Arctic Policy began, it was almost a novelty to speak of Inuit rights and some regarded the first document as unattainable. But people have underestimated our adaptability and resilience. "We were a rag-tag and young group of Inuit", as Mary May Simon, president of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, recently said in a speech, "but we were determined".
1. To establish a comprehensive Inuit Arctic Policy in Inuit circumpolar regions in regard to matters of economic, social, cultural, environmental as well as political concerns.2. To achieve a broad consensus on the priorities, policies, and principles to be advanced in Inuit circumpolar regions, taking into account the significance of the Arctic and its resources to both present and future generations of northern peoples. 3. To encourage co-ordination of policy-making and decision-making in the international community, particularly in and among those states with Arctic jurisdictions and interests. 4. To ensure the survival of Inuit as a distinct people, and to integrate Inuit cultural values and concerns in all aspects of Arctic Policy, as appropriate. 5. To emphasize the importance of an economic base in the North, and the continuing right of Inuit to participate in the management and development of the Arctic and its resources. 6. To give due priority to improving the quality of life in Inuit communities and the right of Inuit to exercise adequate control over actions and activities significantly affecting their northern regions. 7. To protect the delicate Arctic environment, including marine and other resources upon which Inuit depend. 8. To devise principles for an Inuit Arctic Policy which not only ensures recognition and respect for Inuit rights and interests, but also protects the human and other fundamental rights and freedoms of all northern peoples. 9. To favour those policies and principles which foster peaceful diplomacy and the use of appropriate and safe technologies in circumpolar regions. 10. To promote international understanding and co-operation in Arctic matters through collaborative, co-operative research; informational, cultural, and educational exchanges; and international agreements. 11. To proclaim November 7th, the birth day of the ICC visionary and founder, Eben Hopson Sr., as "Inuit Day", and all Inuit governments, agencies and communities should also be urged to proclaim annually this day as "Inuit Day" with appropriate ceremonies and celebrations.
The "Inuit Arctic Policy" is the main document outling Inuit' vision and policies for the Arctic region. It was released in 2010 by the Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC). Complementary to the Inuit Arctic Policy are "A Circumpolar Inuit Declaration on Sovereignty in the Arctic (2009)" and "A Circumpolar Inuit Declaration on Resource Development Principles in Inuit Nunaat 2011".
Arctic Policies/Strategies by non-Arctic States
The EU has started developing its Arctic Strategy in 2009, but the process hasn't been accomplished yet. A comprehensive overview about steps taken by the EU toward an Arctic Policy can be found here.
EU is not yet a formal observer at the Arctic Council.
France has outlined a Science plan 2015-2020 for the Arctic, not an actual policy paper:
"In this context, France declared in 2009, through the Minister of Higher Education and Research, its intention to establish a national Arctic research program. The CNRS, mandated to implement this initiative, launched reflection and consultation activities in 2012 that would lead to the creation, in partnership with several other research organizations, of the French Arctic Initiative. This document is a summary of this work. It describes the major scientific objectives that France is willing and able to tackle in the Arctic, in collaboration with its international partners".
The "Science plan 2015-2020 of the French Arctic Initiative" (2015)is grounded on the previous paper "Prospective Recherches Polaires" (2012), outlined by the "National Center for Scientific Research" (Government agency and not ministry).
France has been granted observer status at the Arctic Council.
"With a high profile in polar research, strong political engagement and active participation in discussions about the future and the sustainable development of the Arctic, Germany is an international actor in the High North. Germany has hosted three international Arctic conferences in Berlin: a first in cooperation with Norway and Denmark in 2009, a second with Finland in 2011, and a third with Norway in 2013. Germany is a signatory of the Spitsbergen Treaty and has permanent observer status on the Arctic Council. "
Germany's Arctic policy guidelines. Assume responsibility, seize opportunities (2013), was released by the German Federal Foreign Office, in November 2013.
Italy (Arctic Council Observer, 2013) is developing an Arctic Policy. For the time being, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released a document called "Towards An Italian Strategy for the Arctic, National Guidelines", which briefly describes Italy's connections and interest in the region.
Towards An Italian Strategy for the Arctic, National Guidelines, Ministry Of Foreign Affairs And International Cooperation 2015
"It aims to set Japan as an important player that contributes to the international community through its action to Arctic issues. Against this background, Japan will:
Make full use of Japan's strength in science and technology from a global viewpoint,
Give full consideration to the Arctic environment and ecosystem, which is fragile, with a lower ability to recover,
Ensure the rule of law, and promote international cooperation in a peaceful and orderly manner,
Respect the right of indigenous peoples to continuity in their traditional economic and social foundations,
Pay full attention to security developments in the Arctic,
Aim for economic and social compatibility with climate and environmental changes, and
Seek possible economic chances for the use of the Arctic Sea Route and for the development of resource"
Japan's first comprehensive Arctic policy (provisional English Translation) was presented both in Tokyo and at Arctic Circle Assembly in Reykjavik in October 2015.
"The goal of the Master Plan is to contribute to sustainable future of the Arctic by enhancing cooperation with the Arctic states and relevant international organizations in the areas of science, technology and economy. It aims for the ROK to:
strengthen international cooperation;
build a foundation for polar scientific research; and
create new business areas (by participating in the Arctic Council and its Working Groups)"
The Arctic Policy of the Republic of Korea ("the Master Plan") was released in December 2013. The Plan was jointly developed by seven ministries and administrations (the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF), Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP), Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE), Ministry of Environment (MOE), Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT), and Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). National research institutes such as the Korea Maritime Institute (KMI), Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) under KIOST, Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM), etc. also took part).
"The UK will work towards an Arctic that is safe and secure; well governed in conjunction with indigenous peoples and in line with international law; where policies are developed on the basis of sound science with full regard to the environment; and where only responsible development takes place. All the UK's policies towards the Arctic will contribute in some way towards the realisation of this vision. The vision will be supported by three principles:
Cooperation"
"Adapting To Change: UK policy towards the Arctic (2013)", was released by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 2013.
