Die Gattung Lymnaea ist die namengebende Gattung der Familie der Schlammschnecken (Lymnaeidae), der Überfamilie Lymnaeoidea und der Unterfamilie Lymnaeinae, die zur Unterordnung Wasserlungenschnecken (Basommatophora) innerhalb der Lungenschnecken (Pulmonata) gerechnet werden. Zur Gattung Lymnaea gehört auch die größte heimische Süßwasserschnecke, die Spitzschlammschnecke (Lymnaea stagnalis).

Systematik
Der systematische Umfang der Gattung ist immer noch sehr umstritten. Es gibt drei Ansätze, eine "Großgattung" Lymnaea ohne Untergattungen: alle Arten werden unter der Gattung Lymnaea geführt (Hubendick), eine "Großgattung" Lymnaea mit Untergattungen (Kruglov & Starobogatov) und eine "Klein-Gattung" Lymnaea mit einigen nahe verwandten aber selbständigen Gattungen (= die Untergattungen im intermediären Ansatz) (u. a. Glöer). Auch die Anzahl der gültigen Arten ist umstritten. Die Zahl reicht von weit über 100 Arten in einer "Großgattung" Lymnaea bis zu einem Minimum von weniger als einem Dutzend Arten ("Kleingattung" Lymnaea). Neue DNA-Untersuchungen und Kreuzungsversuche haben ergeben, dass Populationen, die früher als Lymnaea stagnalis bestimmt worden sind, in Wirklichkeit eigenständige Arten sind. Dies dürfte die Zahl von nur etwa einem Dutzend für die "Kleingattung" Lymnaea doch sehr in Frage stellen. Entsprechend der Unsicherheit im Umfang der Gattung ist deshalb auch eine Charakterisierung der Gattung nur sehr schwer möglich.

USCIRF welcomed the State Department's naming of "Countries of Particular Concern" (CPCs) for severe religious freedom violations. This group comprises nations that violate religious freedom in a "systematic, ongoing, egregious" manner and includes Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
"USCIRF is disappointed that the White House chose to lift the Sudan sanctions," said USCIRF's Chairman Daniel Mark. "Sudan is an egregious violator of religious freedom and should again be designated a CPC."
USCIRF's Vice Chairwomen, Sandra Jolley and Kristina Arriaga, met with Pastor Andrew Brunson in Turkey this week. Pastor Brunson has been detained for a year on fabricated charges. During his meeting he told commissioners, "Knowing that I am not forgotten is important to me."
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) released A Right for All: Freedom of Religion or Belief in ASEAN, a report documenting the state of this freedom in the 10 Member States of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Wednesday, 7 January 2014: Woolworths Petrol has today announced a new limited time petrol discount offer that will see customers offered up to 14c a litre off their fuel price.
Petrol prices have already fallen with the drop in world oil prices to levels not seen for around six years. With the discount at some service stations this could mean fuel prices under a dollar a litre.
Customers will receive 10c a litre off the fuel price for spending just $10 in store at participating Caltex/Woolworths fuel outlets. They can also separately receive 4c a litre off by spending $30 or more in a Woolworths supermarket. If combined, the discount is 14c a litre.
Woolworths Petrol General Manager, Michael James, said, "This is a great offer for our customers. All they need to do is pick up a few everyday items in the convenience store and they'll be able to get the 10c a litre discount. If they shop at Woolworths supermarkets as well then they'll get an even greater saving.
"We always strive to have competitive fuel prices in every market we operate and this discount is on top of that. It's our customers who are the winners with some great prices on fuel, a great discount, and a convenient place to pick up some essentials," he said.

Kaitlin Howard talks about The Alphabet Girl
Kaitlin Howard is a Coliseum pantomime favourite – she played The Slave of the Ring in last year's Aladdin and this Christmas will be playing Fairy Feathers in Mother Goose.
Before Christmas season begins though, Kaitlin will be reprising her award-winning role as The Alphabet Girl, which comes to the Coliseum Studio from Tuesday 15 – Saturday 19 September following a run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
We sat down with Kaitlin for a chat about The Alphabet Girl before she heads north of the border.
What is the atmosphere like at the Fringe?
I've been to the Edinburgh Fringe twice before, both times with shows and it is such an amazing experience. The whole city is teeming with all sorts of performers, artists, musicians, street artists… all eager to show what they can do, and also those there to soak it all up and enjoy being entertained. It seems such a cliché to say that the atmosphere is 'electric' but it truly is and I wholeheartedly recommend people go to the Fringe. If you perform then go to perform, if you love to see art in any form then go to see and experience it. Every nook and cranny is packed with the weird and the wonderful and in my opinion if you love theatre, the sheer volume of it (and the amount of like minded folk all there with the same love and aim) in what can often be very unexpected spaces, proves it to be a brilliant place to tickle that fancy.
You play three generations of characters in The Alphabet Girl, which is your favourite?
All three of the women in The Alphabet Girl have their own distinct personalities, their own hopes and dreams, particular and quite often peculiar idiosyncrasies. They each also present very different challenges for me as an actress. As a performer who has three characters to produce in quick succession, with very little in the way of costume changes, it is important that the obvious things are covered to make it clear to the audience that "I am now playing someone new", e.g. the voice, the physicality, the speech rhythms, the gestures used etc. However, they are all members of the same family so there must also be echoes and clues in each performance that tie them together. That's the fun part, finding what those are and anchoring each woman in what is real.
I'm not sure that any particular character in the show is an obvious choice as being my favourite. I have a soft spot for each of them for different reasons. Ivy is the youngest, the modern girl looking for love and desperate not to be alone. Her story is the one that is left open and despite everything you find out about her she still has hope. Her mother Lily, I feel, has had the hardest time and the audience meet her at a time when her fragility is giving way to a determination that the only option left to her is that she must do right by her daughter. Maisy is the eldest and I would say she is the most challenging both linguistically and in terms of her emotional journey. She's an old lady who has had the most extraordinary life but now can't understand where it went, mostly because in her eyes she doesn't deserve to have ended up where she is. Each are very human and each present something basic that people can relate to. And interestingly a lot of the tales they tell are based on real life events…
What is it like performing a one-woman show? Is it any more or less nerve racking or exciting than as part of a bigger cast?
Usually I am not a performer who gets overwrought with nerves. Yes, I get butterflies and jittery before the first show, but this is because it's the first time the final element of a true audience reaction is added to a production. I always looked at actual performances as part of the process, as part of the job, something to be enjoyed as much as rehearsals – it's when a lot of the real "playing" starts. One of the main points of putting on a show is to do it in front of an audience, so it was never a big terror to me and it was always something I loved.
When we did The Alphabet Girl the first time round it was SO different! Don't misunderstand, I still loved every second of it, but it was utterly terrifying! Firstly, it was a new play and none of us knew if it would be received well just on that fact alone. Secondly, I've been a professional actress for twelve years but it was the first time I had undertaken a play where it would be only me onstage for the whole show. This puts any performer under a lot of pressure as they have no other performer to interact with, to play with, to listen to. There's no one to help you. All eyes are on you. The concentration needed is huge. In any show, with any size cast, these interactions and concentrations are all paramount, but when you are alone it is magnified a thousand fold because you are under the audience's microscope. I was honestly so very nervous, every time I did the show, and because I had no one else to help me I had to stay so alert for the entire performance. I could not relax, especially as the script is full of some very tricky tongue twisters and poetic phrases. Beautiful language, but so easy to trip over if you are not completely in the moment.
But this is the amazing thing I've realised this time round – despite it being easy to feel that you are alone, you are not. In The Alphabet Girl I have the audience to interact with, the audience to play with, to listen to. They are there to help me and they want it to go well else they wouldn't have bought a ticket. This time round, despite the fact that I will still be nervous, I know this time that it works and it was loved by people last time. These are the wave I will ride and hopefully we can all relax and enjoy it together.
How did it feel to win a Manchester Theatre Award for your performance at The Alphabet Girl's premiere?
I didn't know about the nomination until it was announced in the paper, and even then I found out only when our brilliant stage manager, Liam, text me with a very simple "Congratulations!" My response was understandably confused. Once I realised what he was talking about I couldn't wipe the smile off my face – It was so lovely to be put into a group of other wonderful actors and actresses who had done such good work that the MTA's wanted to recognise us with the nomination. That honestly was such a lovely feeling all on its own, but then when I actually heard my name read out as the winner of Best Fringe Performance I felt so many other things too. I was happily shocked, humbled, elated and many many more wonderful adjectives. It's certainly been a confidence booster and allowed me to have faith in my abilities and also made it possible for us to take this show further. The attention it has drawn to the show and to me as a performer has been very positive and incredibly warm.
Has the show changed since its premier in 2014?
There were a few practicalities which the writer, Renny Krupinski, needed to address in that Ivy's segment is set in the very moment that the audience is observing. This meant that certain dates needed changing so that the story arc still made sense. We also sat and talked about things that perhaps had not quite got the audience response we'd expected or hoped for and how that might be rectified. Hindsight is always a really helpful tool in revisiting anything you decide to do again and Renny is a great believer in chucking out stuff that doesn't work and leaving the things that are right. Having said this, very little in the writing (other than a few tweaks) is different and now we are having fun playing with any ideas we've had about what makes these women tick. It was pretty much on the button last time, but it never hurts to double check.
Do you have time in Edinburgh to see any other shows at the Fringe? If so, what would you like to see and why?
I am performing at 5:10pm daily (except 16th and 23rd August) for the entire festival. The show runs for 1 hour 10 mins and my venue is very central. This means that I will have time in the day and in the evening to see things. I think I will take it easy to start with and see what time the butterflies kick in. I like to have a clear mind and to be able to concentrate on what I will need to be doing on stage myself, so I certainly can't cut it fine to get to my venue and set up.
I do have a few things I want to see and with a couple of days off it helps me see the shows that are on at a similar time to me too. There's two other one-woman shows that I'm eager to get to and both are incidentally being performed by really good friends of mine. I think we might have to start a club! There's Mata Hari: Female Spy at Zoo, and Man To Man at The Underbelly. Also Weekend Rockstars at The Underbelly and Crusoe at Zoo are there with companies and people I know so I shall go to see them. I think it's so important to support those you know, especially in the magical mayhem that is Edinburgh. Other than that I love being guided by word of mouth and what people I meet recommend once I'm up there. The brochure is packed and, as much as I might want to, I'm not going to make it to everything and have to narrow it down somehow.
You played the Slave of the Ring in last year's pantomime and will be returning as Fairy Feathers for Mother Goose this Christmas – how different is pantomime to drama acting?
Pantomime is an art form all of it's own and I know that in Oldham there is a close connection between the Coliseum and the local community through it's traditional family panto… and I loved being a part of that last year in Aladdin. I was so touched when I was asked back and am already excited to be returning as Fairy again, a feeling which I'm sure will increase as the year goes on and I'll have to rein in before I go into rehearsals else I'll just turn into a hyperventilating kid in a sweet shop!
I was brought up on pantomime. My mum played principal boy in her youth and then wicked step mums and fairies. I too have played principal boys in the past, but as I'm now a bit older all I want is my big frock and a sparkly wand! I love the silly comedy, the colours, the big performance style, the music, the dancing… However, I'm sure the resident experts, Kevin Shaw and Fine Time Fontayne, will back me up when I say that it is not just all glitter, slop scenes and cross dressing lead actors. I think panto is about team work and a connection to the audience. You need to work together closely onstage, you need to listen to everyone in the room, have a strong sense of play, time things perfectly, be truthful to the part you play in the jigsaw, have no ego and wish to include and entertain the audience… None of which is different to anything you should do onstage be it drama, comedy, song or dance.
What are you looking forward to most about performing The Alphabet Girl at the Coliseum in September?
Being at the Coliseum full stop is a massive draw for me. It is such a wonderful theatre, with a fantastic team behind it and so brilliantly supported by all the people who attend the shows. As someone who is not originally from the area, to have moved here and lived here for the last five years and to have been welcomed so warmly into the "family" at the Coliseum is such a lovely reward. Kevin Shaw saw The Alphabet Girl in its original run last year and for him to have offered us a space in the programme at the Coliseum, and on top of that pretty much open up and create a Studio Season to accommodate it, just shows how much the hard work put into it was worth it. I really hope that when people come to see the show they enjoy it and it not only expands what the Coliseum already offers to its loyal audience, but it also paves the way for more studio work. I believe the more performers on the go, on as many stages as possible, the better!
The Alphabet Girl is runs at the Coliseum in the Studio from Tuesday 15 – Saturday 19 September.

Court overturns murder conviction in 'Last Seduction' case
Court Watch - POSTED: 2015/01/22 16:20
The Alaska Court of Appeals has overturned the murder conviction of man charged with killing his romantic rival at the urging of the woman they both hoped to marry.
The court on Wednesday reversed the murder conviction for John Carlin III, who was convicted in 2006 of killing Kent Leppink on an isolated trail about in a small community south of Anchorage 10 years earlier. The case went unsolved until Alaska State Troopers reopened it in 2004.
Prosecutors had claimed he was coaxed into killing Leppink by the woman at the center of the romantic triangle, Mechele Linehan, an exotic dancer who lived with the two men in Anchorage.
Prosecutors maintained she was inspired by the 1994 movie, "The Last Seduction," in which a femme fatale coaxes her lover into killing her husband for money.
But just as the court did when overturning Linehan's conviction in 2010, the court ruled the state improperly introduced a letter from the grave during the Carlin's trial.
Before his death, Leppink wrote his parents saying that if he died under unusual circumstances, Carlin and Linehan would likely be responsible.

Not necessarily. Most medical treatments and procedures involve risk, and sometimes an unexpected result isn't anyone's fault. However, doctors are required to explain the risks so the patient can decide whether the potential benefits are worthwhile. If a doctor fails to alert a patient to the risks, malpractice could be involved.

Clean mobility is making a tremendous impact in Michigan
May 24, 2018 0 By Angie Bergenson
Clean cars are contributing $18 billion to the state's economy
Michigan's clean mobility sector contributes some $18 billion to the state's economy and generates more than $700 million in tax revenue every year, according to a new report from Clean Fuels Michigan. The report highlights the numerous economic benefits that are associated with clean vehicles. Investments in the research, development, and commercialization of clean cars have been increasing in recent years, which has created new opportunities within the state, making Michigan much more attractive to automakers.
Report shows that the clean transportation sector is creating tens of thousands of new jobs
The report shows that clean mobility has helped bring more than 69,000 jobs to the state. The majority of these jobs have to do with building out the infrastructure needed to support clean vehicles. The report also suggests that clean vehicles could have a significant impact on the health of those living within Michigan. Because these vehicles produce no harmful emissions, they could help decrease healthcare costs by improving the state's air quality.
Companies are working to promote innovation in clean technology for vehicles
Michigan's automakers and utilities have become strong supporters of clean vehicles. Several companies are looking to reduce the overall cost of clean vehicles by investing in innovative technology. This technology can make these vehicles more efficient and attractive to consumers, thereby accelerating the adoption of clean mobility. DTE Energy, in particular, is currently working to ensure that electric and natural gas vehicles are quickly integrated into the state's transportation sector.
State continues to expand its clean transportation infrastructure
Michigan has been increasing its support for clean vehicles in order to make progress toward its environmental goals. In doing so, the state has committed itself to tackling several challenges. The most significant of these challenges has to do with establishing an infrastructure that will support the widespread adoption of clean cars. Not only in Michigan working to build new charging stations for electric vehicles, the state is also working to expand its hydrogen infrastructure in order to support cars powered by hydrogen fuel.

Synopsis: "Magical realism, lyrical prose, and the pain and passion of human love haunt this hypnotic generational saga.
Ava Lavender is a generational story told by a girl who was born with the wings of a bird. It is a story about love at its very basis – of its discovery, loss and understanding of the emotion. The novel is filled with magical realism that blends in so flawlessly with its characters that you never really stop to think that it's out of place. Not when a young girl suddenly turns into a canary, or when a child is born with wings.
It's hard to put into words the sheer beauty of the novel. I am really surprised that this is a book from a debut author, because the writing sounds so polished and lyrical that it almost sings to you. So much applause for Walton for creating such a hauntingly beautiful novel, which I had such a hard time putting down.
All the characters in the story were so realistic it feels like you're a part of the Seattle town they're living in. Each had their own backstory, from the angry John Griffith to the pious Nathaniel Sorrows who waltzed into town to take care of his aunt. Even the house Ava lives in has a back story.
Walton does a really good job at setting the scene as well as creating well rounded characters. From the beginning, while we're following the story of Ava's grandmother Emilienne, Walton builds a picture of the family's apartment in Manhatine with such detail that you're almost standing there beside the characters as they go about their lives. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for their house at the end of Pinnacle Lane. All I can picture of it is the third floor, which no one went up to until the very end. But that didn't impact on my love for the novel at all.
A few reviewers have touched on the fact that this story is not based solely on Ava, and because of this it felt misleading. I think they're forgetting that it is essentially told by Ava, as she discovers her family history as well as herself. In order to understand who she really is, Ava had to start from the beginning – with Emilienne.
Plot wise, it's not what you would deem as action packed. The novel follows the lives of three generations of women and how they deal with the idea of love. It's heartbreaking to read about the tribulations each woman goes through due to love, but it also opens your eyes to the effects it can have on each person. What Walton aims to do is tell the reader what it means to be human, even when you're a little different from the norm. We all have the same range of emotions, and we're all affected by the intricacies of life. The message I took away from this novel is that only you have the power to pick yourself up from heart-break and all the bad things that can happen on a daily basis. Your life should not depend solely on who loves you – because there are so many definitions of love.
I was so happy when Emilienne and Viviane finally recognised how to love again, because it just shows it's never too late. I'm so thankful to have read this book – it's definitely one that will stick with me for a very long time.
If you ever get the chance, pick up this novel. I can't guarantee you'll love it, but it may open up your eyes.
Thank you to Walker Books Australia for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.


Servers in Russian and Ukraine, the final levers of the world's third-largest botnet responsible for 18 percent of all spam e-mail, have been shut down, killing the spam network known as Grum.
The six command-and-control servers in Ukraine and one in Russia were responsible for sending instructions to infected zombie computers, meaning that when the current spam template used by the zombie computers expires, they will find no new instructions and will cease sending spam, Atif Mushtaq, a senior staff scientist at internet security firm FireEye, said in a blog post.
"Grum's takedown resulted from the efforts of many individuals," wrote Mushtaq, who was instrumental in stopping the network. "This collaboration is sending a strong message to all spammers: 'Stop sending us spam. We don't need your cheap Viagra or fake Rolex. Do something else, work in a Subway or McDonald's, or sell hotdogs, but don't send us spam.'"
The first blow was dealt earlier this week when Dutch authorities took down two major servers in the Netherlands, leaving major servers in Panama and Russia.
After the Internet service provider for the Panama server shut it down, Mushtaq said he worked with several partners overnight to shut down the remaining server in Russia and six more that came online in Ukraine, finally succeeding after the servers' ISP Gazinvestproekt agreed to pull the plug at his request.
The 100,000-computer-strong spam network generated an estimated 18 billion unwanted messages per day, according to Mushtaq's blog.
Russia and Ukraine have long been seen as safe havens for illegal botnet activities, so the takedown of the servers was seen as a large success by the internet security community, technology site Arstechnica said.

Wallace Achievements Appear Online For Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
News 1/23/2013 at 7:26 PM by Christopher Metz 0
It's amazing what we can do with technology these days...
Gamers have noticed recently that a few new achievements for Ubisoft's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game have popped up on the official list of the game. This makes it seem like the long awaited online multiplayer mode is getting closer to a release date.
So far four achievements have surfaced on the list, totally at 50 points of Gamerscore, and all of them seem to revolve around Wallace, who's supposedly going to be a new playable character in the upcoming DLC, "Online Multiplayer and Wallace" pack. From a quick look at the screenshot of the achievements, we can clearly tell that Wallace, Scott's sarcastic gay roommate, will be required to complete them, along with some fellow multiplayer opponents. This will also make the total playable character count up to 6:
Again, no official release date has been set, but this highly suggests that the SPvTW DLC will come very soon. But until we hear a date announced, remember that the game is still available for 800 Microsoft Points on XBLA, along with the "Knives Chau" DLC only 160 Microsoft Points. Getting back into the game now might not be a bad thing, since fan-favorite, Wallace, could be just around the corner!

The throwaway approach of "buy cheap, buy often" is having a devastating impact on the environment. Vast quantities of clothes are produced every year and then simply thrown away, making it the world's second most polluting industry – after oil.
Adrenna is your alternative to mass-produced sportswear. We challenge traditional mass-manufacturing by making our sustainable activewear in London using the finest fabrics sourced from Italian mills. And to ensure you get to enjoy your sportswear for longer, our chic designs are driven by lasting style, not passing trends.
Adrenna invites you to get directly involved with the creation process, by giving you the chance to customise features of your activewear – from colours and fabrics to length and clasp style – to your own tastes and workouts.
Every piece is made to order, just for you.
We practise mindful manufacturing. Once you placed your order, the patterns will be arranged and cut in an optimal way to minimise fabric waste. To reduce the distance a garment has to travel before it reaches your door, we choose to only work with suppliers based in Europe. And Adrenna supports fair wages – our British partners all pay their workers at least the UK minimum wage.
Where did the idea for Adrenna come from?
I started my career as a finance lawyer. I had moved from Adelaide, Australia, to London in 2010 to take up a job in the City. The stressful, fast pace of life in London often means that the environment is an afterthought. In particular, the dominating presence of fast fashion brands and cheap, disposable clothing was a real eye opener to me as they weren't so obvious in Australia back in 2010. After suffering chronic neck and back pain from long office hours, I took up yoga and weight training to build strength and manage the pain. This new activity led me to buy a range of sportswear, but it struck me that none of the garments really fit me. Also none really spoke authentically about having any environmental or ethical standards. My parents came to Australia as refugees from Cambodia, which is a hub for clothing manufacturing, so I've always had this interest in workers' rights and the clothing industry. Adrenna is an effort to bring together my love for movement, a healthy body and mindset and respect for the environment and humanity.
Had you had any other businesses or experience before this?
No, I hadn't had any experience with starting and building something from scratch, though my legal experience and time in the City has proven to be invaluable. And to be honest, I don't think you can really know until you do it for yourself.
What edge do you have over your competitors?
Not only is Adrenna performance led, but our whole ethos is embedded in pushing sustainable and ethical standards. We also offer something that no one else in the UK does – we do made-to-order sportswear that our customers can create on online. People are starting to enquire about creating colour coordinating outfits for their fitness and wellness retreats, and we're really excited to see the results. We love bringing the creativity of our customers to life.
There are so many sustainability – and ethical – issues driven by the fashion industry. I truly believe that the current problems are driven by fast fashion and the appetite for cheap, poor-quality trend driven clothing. The first major problem is the sheer quantity of clothes that are produced, and not fully used. Fast fashion demands new drops of clothing to be released frequently, and in huge quantities, because this brings down the cost of the item. However, what happens when not all the items are sold? There have been reports of major brands incinerating 12 tonnes of new clothing every year. The first step in sustainability is to consume and buy less, but it's a hard message when those at the top of the chain produce so much unwanted goods. This is why we only produce in small runs at Adrenna, and why we offer a made-to-order service. We also save useable cut-off fabrics to incorporate in our made-to-order garments and plan to incorporate them in our next collections. Our goal is to have 100% materials utilisation.
Another major problem is the poor quality of clothes that these brands produce – most of it is made of synthetic fibres that don't wash well or last very long. This drives consumers to treat them as disposable items and when they are discarded, they don't always end up in charities or new homes, particularly if the quality is very poor. A staggering 235 million items of clothing was expected to end up in landfill in the UK in 2017. Other than the microfibres that are released into waterways when synthetics are washed in your regular laundry, synthetic fabrics don't break down so you can expect it to stay in landfill for a very long time.
This does not yet take into account the very intensive processes of producing the garments – the dyes that are used and other processes that have a direct impact on the environment.
Because sportswear needs to have strong performance properties, sportswear fabrics are usually synthetic. Bearing this in mind, it was important to me to be as sustainable as possible, which is we we have opted to use fabrics that are Oeko-Tex certified, which means no toxic chemicals are used at any part of the process. For collection two, we are aiming to include fabrics with Bluesign certification and some recycled materials. We are still investigating natural fibres that will meet the performance standards that we want for our fabrics, but the ultimate goal is to develop garments with these fibres.
There are other issues, such as the carbon footprint and distances travelled for each garment (fabrics could be sourced from Europe, before being sent to Asia for manufacturing, then being delivered to the end customer in the US or UK) and the labour rights issues that still affect the garment manufacturing industry. Much of this is better detailed in documentary films such as The True Cost and River Blue.
How can we all support more sustainable fashion?
It's not about rejecting all forms of fashion and style and wearing tie-dye tops and hemp skirts. There are so many small brands that are offering sustainable options that are often as good, if not better quality, than fast fashion and other prevailing brands. But because sustainable brands are often small start-ups, they don't have the marketing budgets of known brands and are not as visible to most people.
So next time anyone is thinking of buying that outfit for a wedding or holiday, I would urge them to pause and take a quick look to see if there is a sustainable option for what they are wanting to buy. Vivenne Westwood probably said it best when she said "Buy less. Choose well. Make it last.". Also be wary of green washing. The high street brands that offer a "conscious" or "green" ranges, peddled at £8.99 per item or less, still have questions to answer on their ethical credentials. I'm not saying that everyone is perfect – because the system is hugely imperfect and small brands operate within this structure – but consumers can push for change in a measurable and powerful way.
Personally, about 70% of my clothing purchases in the past year have been second hand items. For anything that I can't (or won't) buy second hand, such as sportswear, lingerie or swimwear, I will try as much as possible to buy sustainable – that means buying into a sustainable brand, or buying higher quality pieces (which may mean a higher price, but it pays off in the long-run) and pieces that I know I will wear at least 30 times.
I am bootstrapping Adrenna at the moment and am looking to grow organically for the immediate future.
This varies so much on a day-to-day. I normally wake up at about 6:30 am and have a big breakfast. My day could then be filled with designing, manufacturer meetings, meeting with other founders and businesses in the fitness, fashion and sustainability industries, preparing for Adrenna events and pop-ups, working on building content and social media and preparing newsletters. I will meet up with friends or go to events in the fashion or sustainability industries around 2 nights of the week. I fit in 3 to 4 workouts a week as it's a great stress reliever and I don't wish to go back to the state of health I was in when I worked in the City.
And what did it look like when you first started?
I was still working full-time when I first started developing Adrenna. My day would involve getting up and going to my office as usual then going out at lunchtimes with my personal laptop to make calls and emailing suppliers – laying down the groundwork for the brand.
Definitely building and launching Adrenna. If you had asked me 5 years ago, or even 3 years ago, if this would have been something I could ever have imagined myself doing, I would have answered no!
A close second has to be following through on those daydreams of being able to bust some really cool dance moves and dragging my 31 year old self to some commercial dance classes to try to make it a reality!
Not backing myself sooner and following the path I thought was expected to me. Though I can't be too hard on myself for that, because I also believe that it couldn't have happened any sooner. I also don't regret any of my opportunities or experiences. I've been exceptionally fortunate.
What do you think the advantages and setbacks are for a female founder in the startup space?
Advantages: There is growing momentum behind supporting female founders. It's an exciting time to be in this space, especially in a city like London.
Setbacks: Trends and decisions seem to be made without considering the circumstances in which female founders start businesses. A lot of start-up funding is directed at "tech start-ups" and a lot of female-founded businesses do not qualify for this funding. This does not make their businesses any less valuable or less ripe for funding. The majority of accelerators don't accept start-ups led by sole founders. A lot of female-led businesses are led by a single female founder who is bootstrapping her business.
Why is it so difficult to break into fashion?
I think it's because it's an industry that is so dependent on our emotions. It's unpredictable, yet at the same time, very alluring and desirable, so exceptionally competitive. The barriers and costs to entry are also high. When you start speaking to suppliers, you have to convince them that you are serious about starting your business. You then have to negotiate or buy into the minimums that a lot of suppliers require (this could be many hundreds of metres of fabric in the same colour). Then you have to meet the minimums that manufacturers ask you to order before they will work with you. You then have to invest in amazing imagery, because the standards are so high, and market your way through all the noise that is competing for everyone's attention.
Definitely. The most frustrating start-up advice I kept hearing was: "You need to find a mentor." So off I went, trying desperately hard to find that mentor. It was like some weird dating exercise! Eventually I figured out that there were so many people I had already met – whether through networking or my existing contracts – who I could lean on. I now have a "core" set of contacts who I will make an effort to meet with or communicate with regularly about different aspects of my business. There is one particular group of women, who I met through a women's networking group, who I adore. They each own their own businesses and we speak every single day – many of my successes I owe to this group. Some of my mentors are my peers who are experts in areas where I know I am weak. I've never had the official "Will you be my mentor" chat with any of them.
I've become less afraid of what people think of me. On reflection, a lot of my career prior to launching Adrenna involved projecting a different personality. I have also become more assured of my strengths and abilities and have a better understanding of my weaknesses.
I love mixing it up, but I'm currently fixated by boxing and dancing (there are amazing similarities between the two!). I also do yoga and weights regularly. Yoga, because I've discovered that turning 30 doesn't mean your flexibility and ability to recover gets better with age! Adrenna recently hosted a Buti Yoga event with Sara Fakih – think yoga and plyometrics done to commercial hip hop beats – which is quite possibly the happiest workout and yoga experience I've ever had. And weights because I love the discipline and the "relaxed high" that it gives me afterwards.
Live and work in elephant conservation in Asia. They're such amazing souls. I might actually still go and do that at some point.
One of the best pieces of advice I've ever heard came from one of my friends, also a fellow fashion startup founder. Every night, I fire myself as CEO and Founder of Adrenna, and every morning I re-appoint myself as CEO and Founder of Adrenna. When things haven't gone as well as you've planned, it's sometimes hard to shake off the burden and anxieties, so it's a rather unconventional technique to make sure I start my next day with renewed motivation and without the baggage of the previous day.
I'd tour and go clamping at all the music festivals around the world to see all my favourite acts.

Hidden Stories
Millennium Stadium Charitable Trust
Hidden Stories is an opportunity for communities to be able to have their voices heard and share their experiences through a range of platforms. Working with people who do not regularly have access to opportunities to share their stories, the project aims to capture these experiences and enable the storyteller to learn new skills. By utilising storyboards and vision boards, incorporating Rap and sound recording, some participants have found themselves being able to release emotions and feelings and translate them into words or images.
Working with organisations in Swansea where people are accessing emotional and practical support, the project has been able to provide additional opportunities for mental health and wellbeing sessions. By learning new ways of expressing themselves, participants are able to decide what they want to do, for how long and when they want to take part.

Pesticides Bill: Farmers face losses of up to 70pc of exports
Tue, Jun 29, 2021
Motion is currently awaiting its second reading in Parliament.
More than 500,000 farmers of fresh produce stand to lose over 70 per cent of the Sh150 billion revenue earned in annual exports to Europe and allied markets if Parliament adopts a Bill seeking to ban the use of pesticides.
These statistics were provided by Fresh Produce Consortium of Kenya CEO Okisegere Ojepat, who said he was speaking on behalf of the 500,000 producers. He argued Parliament's move was not about food safety because the EU does not offer an alternative.
Producers — who include vegetable, fruit and flower farmers — want Parliament to throw out a petition being pushed on the floor of the House through a private member's motion.
The European Union (EU) has set maximum residue levels (MRLs) for pesticides in food products in a move it emphasises is meant to avoid health and environmental risks affiliated to pesticides.
Products containing more pesticide molecules than allowed will be withdrawn from the European market.
MRLs are often made stricter with new insights from Europe's food safety authorities. Supermarket chains in the EU maintain the highest standards and generally demand 33 per cent to 100 per cent of the legal MRL.
The bloc is demanding that fresh producers should withdraw some 262 molecules from pesticides being used locally.
However, local producers of fresh farm produce argue that Kenya's climatic conditions are far removed from the situation in Europe. The move, they say, will therefore harm Kenya's agriculture by discouraging modern agricultural technology regardless of its safety.
He said if Parliament passes the proposed changes, the ongoing agricultural revolution in Kenya will be disrupted, and crops will be exposed to various pests and diseases.
"If these demands are adopted, how are we going to survive? How are we going to deal with tuta absoluta (a highly destructive insect pest) in tomatoes, aphids in maize, potato blight in potatoes, and even mosquitoes?" he asked.
If Parliament passes the motion, which is currently awaiting its second reading, the producers fear that the proposed changes will affect the country's agricultural policy. This, they said, will also see the automatic adoption of farming practices that are not favourable in Kenya.
"We growers at FPC Kenya feel that there is a sinister motive in the proposed changes that are in the form of a blanket adoption of the European Union's climate change strategy, and all its consequent implementations," Ojepat told journalists in during a press conference in Nairobi. He argued that the petition in Parliament is sponsored by foreign and local non-governmental organisations for selfish reasons.
Parliament's move will effectively ban any product that is banned in Europe. This, stakeholders say, is not a unanimous stand around the world, with most countries moving to the World Trade Organization to seek to overturn this policy. Kenya, ironically, is among these countries.
"What the health committee does not appear to have realised is that Europe has abandoned science-based assessments, and these bans are not about food safety issues, but part of a comprehensive EU strategy to slash agricultural inputs — now by a further 50 per cent cut in pesticide use and 20 per cent in fertiliser use," says Ojepat.
The FPC Kenya boss said producers feel the process should have been more consultative before the Bill was taken to Parliament.
He said that for a country that is perennially in food deficit such as Kenya, reduction of pesticides will result in a further decline of its production capacity that stands at below 50 per cent.
Croplife Kenya CEO Eric Kimung'unyi mentioned that the bone of contention is in Kenya's adoption of the CODEX, a food safety move, which the EU is not directly part of.
"CODEX is responsible for ensuring pesticides do not harm human health. It sets the global standards for each approved pesticide. These are set through MRLs that are safe in human food. The EU's move surprises all of us," he said.

J. R. Gardiner, who wrote the best-selling bookStone Fox died of complications from pancreatitis.
John Reynolds Gardiner, who wrote the best-selling children's book Stone Fox has died. He was 61. Gardiner died at a hospital March 4 of complications from pancreatitis, according to his wife, Gloria.
"Children's publishing has lost one of its touchstones," said Kate Jackson, editor in chief of HarperCollins Children's Books. She called the book "a true modern classic." Gardiner wrote Stone Fox as a screenplay about a boy named Willy and his dog Searchlight who enter a dogsled race hoping to beat an undefeated opponent. A producer suggested Gardiner turn it into a book, which he did, in 1980.
The chapter book, aimed at readers in fourth through sixth grades, sold 3 million copies and was later made into an NBC television movie.
Few would have predicted Gardiner's literary success. He didn't enjoy books when he was young- he never read an entire novel until he was 19- and he ended up in what he called "dumbbell English" at the University of California, Los Angeles.
When he was in his late 20s and working as an aerospace engineer, his brother persuaded him to take a television writing class taught by an instructor who cared about imagination rather than spelling and grammar.
Gardiner also wrote the book Top Secret in 1985 and General Butterfingers.

Lesotho ratified ILO Convention No.81 in 2001 on Labour Inspection in Industry and Commerce, and therefore the country has an obligation to provide and maintain a system of labour inspection to ensure the protection of workers in industrial and commercial workplaces.
He said the workshop came at an opportune time when the ministry was on the verge of completing the Lesotho Labour Policy which is a step towards ensuring that the national law reforms are operationalised.
He also said that inspection should be a collective exercise involving employers, employees and the government.
Daniel Maraisane, a representative of employee federations welcomed the initiative saying strengthening labour inspection would address many issues that employees face.
He said inspections were necessary to ensure safety of employees among other issues.

87. This inherent worldliness of the artist is of course not changed if a "non-objective art" replaces the representation of things; to mistake this "non-objectivity" for subjectivity, where the artist feels called upon to "express himself," his subjective feelings, is the mark of charlatans, not of artists. The artist, whether painter or sculptor or poet or musician, produces worldly objects, and his reification has nothing in common with the highly questionable and, at any rate, wholly unartistic practice of expression. Expressionist art, but not abstract art, is a contradiction in terms.
