2022 Lexus NX 250 Review: From benchwarmer to starting lineup
The 2022 Lexus NX amps up the pixel count in its quest for crossover street cred. The NX is a five-seat crossover SUV that's been revamped for the new model year with a dramatic shape, a plug-in hybrid model, and a massive touchscreen-driven infotainment system. It's a competitor for vehicles like the Acura RDX, Infiniti QX50, and German BMW X3 and M-B GLC SUVs.
Efficient in most of its forms, the 2022 Lexus NX is a comfortable but not sporty choice in a tough segment that includes established European rivals. New touchscreen infotainment keeps up with the times, and the exterior design appeals to those with bolder tastes.
Nearly everything is new for 2022, starting with the shape. The 2022 NX doesn't stray far from the prior version's gumbo of creases and slits, but it's exaggerated in new ways. The hourglass grille dips lower and flares wider, the side glass tapers more dramatically, and the sculpting around the headlights and taillights grows more pronounced. There's more of a connection with the Lexus SUVs that flank it in size, the subcompact UX and the mid-size RX.
Inside the NX, Lexus wraps and molds the dash around very large touchscreen displays, a standard 9.8-inch unit can be upgraded to a massive 14.0-inch screen, perched on a modish flag of contrast-color trim. The overwhelming technological flourish calls attention to Lexus' new touchscreen interface, in a big way.
In the performance arena, the NX doles out a foursome of new powertrains. The NX 250's base engine pushes out 203 hp from 2.5 liters and four cylinders, paired to an 8-speed automatic and front- or all-wheel drive. In the NX 350, a step-up 2.4-liter turbo-4 churns out 275 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. It's teamed to the same 8-speed automatic and all-wheel drive.
Two alternatives tap electricity for better efficiency. The NX 450h+ teams a 2.5-liter inline-4 with a motor and battery pack for a quicker SUV: It'll scoot to 60 mph in 6.0 seconds, Lexus promises, and will deliver 37 miles of battery-only driving. On a Level 2 charging system, it can be topped off in about 2.5 hours with an available 6.6-kw charger, a 3.3-kw charger comes standard. The hybrids use the rear motor to provide all-wheel drive.
Finally, an NX 350h with hybrid power but without plug-in ability delivers 239 hp and up to 39 mpg. The NX 350h uses an eCVT with 10 simulated gears. An F Sport NX, available in NX 350 or NX 450h+ spec, gets adaptive dampers, its own dark-gray trim, aluminum trim, and 20-inch wheels.
The NX is slightly larger for 2022, which is a boon only to front passenger space. Cargo space actually falls, and it's on the small side for the class. More sound deadener and standard active noise cancellation make for a quieter vehicle than the outgoing model. Base models come with synthetic leather in black, brown, beige, or red, with a choice of open-pore wood and piano-black trim.
Every 2022 NX comes with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, active lane control with steering assistance, blind-spot monitors with rear cross-traffic alerts, automatic high beams, and a safe exit system. Available are a rear camera mirror, front cross-traffic alerts, a surround-view camera system, a head-up display, and automatic parking. The IIHS rated it a Top Safety Pick+.
The NX 250 starts at $39,025 with front-wheel drive, with an extra $1,600 for all-wheel drive. It comes standard with synthetic leather upholstery, a 9.8-inch touchscreen, cloud-based navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, streaming Amazon Music and Apple Music, a wi-fi hotspot, satellite radio, and 18-inch alloy wheels.
The NX ranges all the way up to $56,635 for the NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid model. Features available on higher end models include the 14.0-inch touchscreen, leather upholstery, heated and cooled seats, a heated steering wheel, a Mark Levinson 17-speaker audio system, ambient lighting, and 20-inch wheels. Our biggest gripe is that you can't get a panoramic sunroof in a $60K SUV.
The all-new for 2022 Lexus NX delights in uncommon ways among a sea of small crossover competition. While competitors have chosen to go bigger over time and prioritize butch off-road looks, Lexus has smartly chosen to make the NX's unique powertrains, styling, and technology it's standout features. Add to that refined driving dynamics, legendary Lexus comfort and quality, and it quickly becomes clear why the 2022 Lexus NX is no longer a benchwarmer.

Movie Review: Kaanchi (2014)
1 Star (out of 4)

Kaanchi: The Unbreakable fancies itself an inspiring story of a simple country gal taking on the powers of corruption. In reality, Kaanchi is a tale of personal revenge, and a really boring one at that.
The story begins with an uninformative framing device that has no narrative payoff until over an hour into the film. A Mumbai police officer, Bagula (Chandan Roy Sanyal), sits handcuffed in an interrogation room, trying to explain his role in the tumultuous events sparked by a woman who's gone missing. Bagula says that the woman is his childhood friend, Kaanchi (Mishti).
Kaanchi (Mishti) is the female version of the big-man-on-campus Bollywood hero whom everyone seems to love even though he's an immature, annoying asshole. Kaanchi is every bit the asshole — temperamental, jealous, and vain — yet she's the favorite daughter of her mountain village, Kochampa.
While Kaanchi trades verbal barbs with her boyfriend, Binda (Kartik Tiwari), members of the wealthy Kakda family arrive in town, intending to force out the villagers in order to build a luxury resort. This troubles Binda, but Kaanchi could give two shits. She's too busy worrying about other girls flirting with Binda.
Kaanchi befriends Sushant — heir to the Kakda fortune — and he falls in love with her. This sets off a chain of events that results in Kaanchi fleeing the village in a rage, vowing revenge. Thus ends the first hour of a two-and-a-half-hour-long movie.
Kaanchi's reunion with Bagula in a Mumbai dance bar is unintentionally hilarious. Scantily clad ladies sing, "You're sexy. You're like a taxi," to which Bagula responds, "I'm a carefree big boy."
Only Rishi Kapoor — who plays one of the villainous Kakda brothers — gets a better character introduction: strumming a guitar on a round bed while a pair of busty women in lingerie chomp on Ritter Sport chocolate bars.
There are nine or ten pointless musical numbers that serve only to waste at least forty minutes of runtime in an already overly-long film.
Among the dance numbers, the highlight is "Thumka," but for the wrong reasons. It features the least flattering outfits I've ever seen on white backup dancers. Each dancer wears a monokini, black elbow gloves, gladiator sandals, a bobbed wig, and black, control-top pantyhose. A few of the dancers look like they're wearing athletic cups inside their hose. Check out these sartorial abominations:
The acting throughout is pretty abysmal. Kapoor's performance is hammy and out-of-place. Mithun Chakraborthy — who plays the other Kakda brother — has cotton balls stuffed in his cheeks for no apparent reason.
Misthi doesn't do herself many favors in her debut performance. She moves as though she's wearing a back brace, and her high-pitched shrieking sounds insane, rather than powerful.
Throughout the incredibly dull second half of the film, side characters refer to Kaanchi as a representative of young India, fed up with politics as usual and tired of a corrupt system. However, Kaanchi doesn't see herself that way. She never mentions the threat the Kakda family poses to her village, nor does she mention the rigged system that benefits such wealthy families.
Had Kaanchi decided to fight for Kochampa or on behalf of the underclass, that would've constituted character development. But Kaanchi doesn't develop at all throughout the film. She begins and remains a temperamental young woman who's used to getting her way. After the interval, she just redirects her temper.
This isn't a political or inspirational movie, no matter how badly writer-director-producer Subhash Ghai would like to frame it as such. Kaanchi is a messy, dull revenge flick, and that's all.

Subhash Ghai needs to stop making movies. I say this over and over again. Why does this man still keep making movies!?
FYI Kathy: I am pretty sure some of the 'women' in Thumka… Are men. It's pretty obvious.
Just stop Ghai.
Kathy Post author May 1, 2014 at 10:10 am
I've seen some rough-looking white female backup dancers in Bollywood movies before, Shahid, but never white dudes in drag. I'll have to check the video to see if any of them have unusually prominent adam's apples. 😉

How large is the useable surface area of the Tournament trays?
The Standard KR Tournament Tray (KTT01) is 318mm x 235mm, and the Large KR Tournament Tray (KTT02) is 410mm x 310mm.
Do your dice always roll sixes? That would be great if they could!
Do I need an account to order from you?
No you don't. Ordering is straightforward and you can simply enter your details at the checkout and make payment.
What benefit does having an account give?
- Email friends with details of products you like.
We have plans in place too which will add some very exciting features to the KR account in the next few months.
How would I create an account?
Click the link at the top right of the screen and it will prompt you for details to create the account.
Can I see orders I placed on your previous website in my account?
Yes you can. If you create your account on the website, all your previous orders will be migrated to your account within a few days. You will be able to view and re-order with a single click.
I'm confused about your card case sizes - help!
How do I combine different size card cases in either the Kaiser Transport Bags, or the Backpacks, or the wheeled alumnium cases?
You can easily replace a KRM with two KRH cases, or four KRQ cases in any of the Kaisers, Backpacks or Wheeled aluminium cases.
The KRD and KRX (as they are taller) can be used in the Kaiser2, Kaiser3, Kaiser4, as well as the Backpack4, and of course the wheeled alumnium cases.
I'm concerned that I have incorrectly filled my case. What happens if I place my order and the case has extra room or is overfilled?
Don't worry, we have processes to check that cases and trays are filled correctly. If there are any discrepancies (under or over filled) we'll be in touch with you via email to suggest the best options to get your order out quickly.
Whats the difference between a Backpack21 (BP21) and a Backpack22 (BP22) or a Backpack43 (BP43), and Backpack44 (BP44)?
You can purchase the Backpack2 either with 1 standard case (KRM) or with 2 standard cases (as the BP21 or as the BP22).
Likewise you can purcase the Backpack4 either with 3 standard cases (KRM) or with 4 standard cases (as the BP43 or BP44).
I bought a Backpack, and it doesn't appear to be able to carry as many cases as it should?
Both the BP22 and BP44 have been designed with additional compartments as part of the Backpack, but which can be zipped away when not needed. This means you can have your Backpack as a smaller or a larger size to suit your needs.
Can I mix and match core and custom trays inside of one of your cases?
Absolutely - in fact combining will often provide you with the maximumm carrying capacity for your case.
Does it matter how much the trays cost inside of my case as the price of trays varies?
No need to worry about individual tray prices, the cases are priced including enough trays to completely fill them. You will always find that a case and with trays in is the best value, and of course we do recomend keeping trays in cases as we designed the "soft trays for hard cases" system to maximise the protection for your models.
How does the triple alumnium case, the AL3 hold 3 KRU? I've heard that its not as simple as three KRU high.
The AL3 is designed to carry trays in 2 stacks, each 1 and a half KRU tall, so that it holds 3 KRU worth of trays in total. If you choose 3 KRU of trays, we will always check that they can fit inside. If in any doubt you can certainly email us your army list and we can work out the best trays for your models.
How many trays can the KRX hold?
The KRX can hold 1 and a half KRU worth of trays. This makes it an ideal case for taller models.
How much space does one of your eggshell trays take up?
The eggshell trays are supplied as a pair, and both the Eggshell Standard (ESH) and Eggshell Fine (EFH) trays take up the space of a half depth KR tray allowing for the model space.
There are 2 types available - standard for general use and the unique fine that KR supply to suit maller models and items with more detail.
KRU stands for "KR Unit". We use it as an easy reference for cases. The orginal standard size card case (KRM), formed the basis of the case system when KR Multicase was founded. It has become the benchmark for comparing the case sizes in the KR Multicase case system. A Kaiser2 for example carries 2 standard size card cases, of indeed any variation of card cases that add up to 2 KRU - for example 4 half size cases (KRH) !
Can I fill a case with whatever trays I want?
Yes you can. Use the KR BespokeFill option and simply pick a case, choose your tray type and enter the details in the box. Add you can simply pick a colour for your trays too ! You can use the tools like TrayPrintouts, KR TrayGuides and KR WhatFits to choose your best trays, but don't worry, we will check that is filled correctly before sending it out. We will email you if there are any questions.
How can I pick a case and tray set easily?
Head for the KR QuickFill page. This is designed to make it simple for you to see all the cases on offer, click the "QuickFill" link from the case you want, choose your tray set (from the core options, or the specific army options), add to basket and head to teh checkout.
The KR Click&Collect system gives you the option of having your ordered delivered to the most convenient place for you. It can be a Show/Event that you are going to, or one of the 10,000+ UPS Access Points around the world! There is no additional charge for any of the KR Click&Collect options.
We have excitng plans for extending the KR Click&Collect over the next few months too!
Can I collect at a Show/Event?
Yes you can. Simply select the show that you want to collect your order at when you are at the checkout and we will ensure your order is ready for you at the show. You can either pay on-line when you order, or make payment at the show (credit cards and cash accepted at all shows!). There is no additional charge for any of the KR Click&Collect options.
Can I collect at a UPS Access Point?
Yes you can, just select the UPS Access Point from the map or the drop down menu where you wish to collect from and we will do the rest! There is no additional charge for any of the KR Click&Collect options.
Does KR have a Facebook or Twitter account?
We certainly do, you can find us on Facebook and on Twitter. We post our KR news on both of them as well as the website and the KR newsletter.
Do you guys ever go to shows? I'd love to come and say hi!
We do indeed. KR Multicase attend all of the Wargaming shows in the UK, as well as the larger events on mainland Europe, and several of of the large conventions in the United States. If you want to see shows that we go to (and in fact it is a comprehensive directory of all the Wargaming shows around the world) Check out the KR Show finder page, and if you want to add your local show just drop us an email with all the details and we will put it on there.
We keep an updated calendar of events on our Facebook and on Twitter, we list all of the shows which we're attending there!
Why do you have the KR Community section?
Daryl (he created and runs KR), has often felt that it is hard to find some of the wargaming information on the hobby, and wanted to add a full directory to the new KR website. This grew during development into a much bigger task and now encompasses 5 useful reference sections for Stores, Shows, Clubs, Tournaments and Podcasts, and whilst we do show where KR have an involvement in supporting an event, or a store stocks our products, the directories cover all events, stores, clubs etc whether KR are involved or not. That means you can search freely for information with no limitaions.
If you would like to add to any of the KR Directory entries simply drop us an Email, we will check that we have all the info and get it listed (and post on Facebook/Twitter to help promote it too ! ).
Can I add an update to the KR Shows directory?
Yes certainly. Just drop us an Email with all the details and we will check that we have all the info needed and get it listed (and post on Facebook/Twitter to help promote it too ! ).
Can I add an update to the KR Shops directory?
Can I add an update to the KR Podcasts directory?
Can I add an update to the KR Tournaments directory?
Can I add an update to the KR Clubs directory?
I'm organising an event, and have seen that you support tournaments and conventions - how can I get in touch with you about organising support for my event?
Drop us an email at Email, with the details of your event - including the name of the event, the game system(s) that it is for, the date, how many people you expect to be attending, any links, plus any other information you may think would be useful and we'll be in touch with a day. We can help promote your event via our Facebook and Twitter, plus our website news and Newsletter too.
Are you guys all gamers? What systems do you play?
Most of us are, and 90% are vary happy makers and painters of models too! The games which we play in our spare time varies massively, from Historical gaming, through to the more contemporary systems such as Warmachine and the GW games, and even the occasional card and board game too.
I've noticed that you have a section for new Kickstarters. There is one which I don't see listed, can I let you know about it?
By all means. We do our best to keep an eye on new Kickstarter projects that look exciting, but occasionally one slips through the net. Drop us an email to Email with the name of the Kickstarter and we'll have a look at it.
I'm interested in working for you - how can I get in touch?
We're always looking for enthusiastic, friendly and resourceful people that can add to our team. Drop us your CV at Email.
Orders placed before 2PM are dispatched the same day, and orders placed after 2PM are dispatched next working day. The checkout will show you the dispatch date along with an estimated delivery date based on your selected shipping method. This will all be confirmed in your order confirmation email whcih is sent once your order is placed.
Bear in mind that the dates are based on our manufacturing locations. We ship the UK, EU and RoW orders from the UK and so these times are based on GMT. For the USA and Canada, the orders are manufactured and dispatched from our KR-USA factory and the times are based on EST.
My item hasn't shown up yet! How long should I wait before I get in touch, and how do I get in touch with you?
The estimated delivery date on your order is based on your chosen shipping method. We dispatch on the date planned, but the Mail Service or Courier is in control once it leaves KR. We can certainly help chase and check on progress for you.
If your order hasn't arrived when expected, then it is always worth checking first with your local post office. Most of the orders which we send are quite large (and heavy!), which means that occasionally the postman is unable to deliver them. If you selected UPS then you will be able to track your delivery progress on the KR Tracking page using your order number and email address (or if you are logged into your KR account then you can click directly to it from your order) and that will give you accurate details of your order progress.
Royal Mail 1st Class usually takes 2-3 working days, and 2nd Class between 3-5 working days. Airmail is a little longer at 5-21 working days, depending upon how far away from our UK or USA factories you are (and the time of year - Christmas postal volumes can slow things down !). If you're still concerned, or the order time is longer than this, email us and we will help get it to you.
I'd like to make an amendment to my order. How can I do this?
Drop us an email, and we'll be happy to help, provided of course, that we haven't already dispatched your order!
I accidentally selected the wrong tray / made a mistake with my address - help!
I live nearby to your UK/USA Factory - can I come and collect my order?
Both KR factories are set up for manufacturing, but not as retail outlets, so currently personal collection is not possible. The shipping costs are free for 95% of orders, and we do dispatch the same working day so that all customers get their orders quickly (if you order before 2PM).
Can I preorder for a show which you are attending, and collect at the show? How long will I need to let you know in advance?
Yes you can - in fact, many people do. You can pre-order by phone or Email, and to make life even easier the checkout does in fact have a KR Click&Collect option where you can choose which show you want to collect at. You can even decide whether to pay in advance on line or to pay on the day when you collect! We accept cards and cash at all shows.
As we pack and travel to a show a day or two in advance, the website will indicate if you have enough time to put in your order for regular or colour trays to pick up at the show.
Do you work to the GDPR requirements?
The new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force on 25th May 2018 and KaiserRushforth Ltd work to the requirements of the regulations.
We only hold the data required to process your order. These are the details provided by you and are necessary to enable us to fulfil the contractual obligations between you and us.
We will never disclose your data to any third party.
Can I check my data?
If you would like to check what data we hold for you, please email us with your request.
Can I sign up for the KR Newsletter?
Should you wish to receive the KR Multicase Newsletter then please sign up on our Newsletter sign up page.
How many cases can be carried in one of your transport bags?
What are the dimensions of your cases?
All the wheeled cases include a self adhesive label holder, and each WH4 and WH6 wheeled case includes a KR medium size tournament tray too!
What are the dimensions of your trays?
Our full size trays are 380mm x 255mm and the half size trays are 255mm x 190mm. The trays are available in 6 depths (full, 3/4, 2/3, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 and 1/5 of a standard KR case). Each tray compartment has its compartment depth listed in the description on our website. We always work on the compartment depth (rather than the overall tray height with its base), as the compartment depth is much more useful for deciding if a model will fit into the tray.
The KR Newsletter provides you with updates to our product range, show attendance and plans for the future.
Enter your details below to subscribe. We will send you an email to re-confirm your opt-in for the KR newsletter in line with GDPR best practice.
How do I subscribe to the KR Newsletter?
Why are only five currencies available to pay with by using the website?
The website is configured for the most common currencies that are used by our customers, which are easily converted when using a different currency. Now that the new site is fully live we are working adding additional currencies - watch this space!
How do you determine the exchange rates for currencies?
We use an amalgamated tracker across various banking and exchange sources to keep a well based average for the currency exchange rates. This takes place independantly for both our manufacturing facilities (one in the UK and one in the USA), as each manufactures, sources and ships locally. This ensures a price that is reflective of the actual exchange rates from the base UK currency (£) to your countries currency (for the USA/Canada it is based on the US$).
If you live in a country overseas from either the UK or the USA then you should check the policy of your government rgearding import duties. KR ship duty free outside of the UK and USA, which means that any duties and import charges for importing the products are the customers responsibility. The stated value of goods reflects the purchase price less any shipping costs. If you live in Canada then you are responsible for the HST charges on imported goods. If you live in South America it can help speed a packages progress through customs if you provide a tax number.
Is it always cheaper to buy trays in a case than the individual trays?
With the KR Multicase system you always get the best value by combining trays and cases in one purchase. It has been the KR philosopy since the start that the trays and cases function together to form the most durable protection system for your models. The concept of soft foam inside of hard cases is unique to KR, and gives you the safest system for protecting your models with foam that cushions your models perfectly and then is protected itself by a hard case.
Can I pay for my items on your website by using an American Express or Discover card?
Absolutely. We accept all Credit Cards including American Express and Discover. When you get to the checkout, the option will be there to allow you to make your purchases using your card as normal. We also accept these at all the shows that KR attend too !
Naturally we abide by the distance selling regulations.

What options are available for shipping?
You can choose from many options at the checkout. Royal Mail (1st Class, 2nd Class and Airmail), or USPS and if you want a tracked service then choose UPS. The checkout contains all the options for your order and you can upgrade for next day and weekend deliveries too.
Shipping non tracked packages to a PO Box is no issue (ie using regular postal non-signed for services), though for courier shipments (UPS) we do need an address where the package can be signed for (PO Boxes do not have anyone to sign for the package). Don't worry though, we do check when processing orders and will get in touch with you promptly if there is an issue with your delivery address.
Where do KR ship from?
KR has 2 factories, one in the UK and one in the USA. The website directs your order to the correct one to ship from and all your emails and confirmations will come from there.
Each year the dates for shipping in time for Christmas vary. We always update the KR homepage, Facebook, and Twitter with the dates for all locations around the world so that you can get your presents under the tree in time for the big day. We also publicise them in the KR Newsletter, so it is well worth subscribing to that too (add your email address via the home page).
I own a gaming store, and I'm interested in stocking your products. How can I go about this?
We're always pleased to hear from new companies looking at stocking our products. Drop us an email and we'll provide you with price lists and wholesale account details.
What are the core trays?
The core trays are the trays from the F, N, M, P, Q, R, V, D and J format ranges. Each of these trays is available in 10mm, 23mm, 32mm, 51mm, 70mm and 110mm compartment depths, and as either full or half width trays.
What are the custom trays?
The custom trays are all specifically designed to suit particular models. The compartments, and even the compartment depths can vary within a tray to get the perfect support and protection for your model. Custom trays are available with 23mm, 32mm, 51mm, 70mm, 80mm and 110mm compartment depths, and as either full or half width trays. They are also available as oversize trays to suit the Prestige case range for models like the Thunderhawk and Tau Manta!
What are the differences between your Pick&Pluck formats?
The KR unique segmented pick&pluck design allows you to maximise your carrying capacity without compromising on model protection. Each KR segmented Pick&Pluck tray has sections and dividing walls. This is planned so that any model size is efficiently carried. The V format is exceptionally good for small based models (30mm), and larger models as the 30mm blocks and wall lend themselves to many variations. This tray is great for 60 and 65mm bases too.
The D format, with its 40mm blocks is designed for 40mm based models. You can remove sections for models that fit within the base, and easily remove extra blocks for models with dynamic poses.
The J format has 50mm spacing and is perfect for 50mm bases. Again you can simply remove extra blocks for models with dynamic poses.
You can see all the formats on the TrayPrintouts page. We created that so that you can literally "try before you buy". Simply print out the pdf (make sure to have the scale set to 100%), and you can try your model over the printout to plan your most efficient space usage.
Can I print out trays to compare my models to them?
The KR TrayGuides are a useful way of viewing and printing the trays and sets for your specific army. You can use this as a ready reference to plan your best tray choices. The page is helpfully split into the different systems and armies so that you can easily navigate to your army and its KR TrayGuide.
What does the "What Fits" section do for me?
The KR WhatFits page is a full alphabetical list of all the armies that KR makes trays for ! Yes it is a big list - so we made it easiliy accessible by having clickable alphabetical links to get you to your amy quickly. This is a very useful way of getting to see trays for your army and looking at their details before choosing the best one.
How can I tell how deep a tray is?
Each tray has its compartment depth listed in the desciption on our website. We always work on the compartment depth (rather than the overall tray height with its base), as the compartment depth is much more useful for deciding if a model will fit into the tray.
What is a constructed tray?
KR leads the way in custom tray design for specific models. We have dedicated designers who create the best for each model. KR created the unique constructed trays in response to large and more delicate models. These trays have additional support built into the compartments to hold a model in its strongest places - and have extra free space created around the more vulnerable areas.
Are your trays available in any colours other than blue?
Yes they are, and the available colours are shown along with the tray or tray set in the online shop. Just click on the colour button to change your colour. In the Bespoke Case Fill section you can change the colour of the trays you select at the click of a button. And even the basket gives you the opportunity to change the colour of your trays before payment. In addition, the detail page for each tray gives you the option to view the tray in all of its available colours.
Do colour orders take longer to be shipped?
The majority of colour tray orders are shipped with 1 working day. If a particular tray in the colour you order is not immediately available we will manufacture that to order which will take around 3-7 working days. We tell you your latest dispatch date for a colour order at the checkout, though most orders are shipped well before that date.
Are quarter trays available without being paired with another similar sized quarter tray?
Quarter trays are always paired with another quarter tray of the same height to make half size KR trays. This makes for a very versatile and modular system.
Are all of your trays interchangable between cases?
Yes the certainly are. KR pioneered the truly modular tray and case design. The concept is simply to have the half size and full size trays available in varying depths, which are all interchangable, providing you with an extremely robust modular system for swapping trays between cases.
Are you going to produce custom trays for my model? I have a great suggestion.
We are always working to develop new trays for our customers We have a schedule for designing and releasing new trays and they are regularly added to our range. If you have a model in mind, then drop us an email and we will be able to tell you where it is on the schedule, or indeed get it planned in!
I've looked and I can't see any trays for the gaming system / army I play - can you help me to chose the right trays?
Of course! Our staff have over 150 years of gaming experience between them, either playing and enjoying games or within the industry itself. Chances are we'll know your game, and if we don't then if you can provide us with pictures/dimensions or links, then we'll be happy to help you get the best protection for your models.
Do any of your trays fit into the Accessory Case?
The KR Accessory Case is in fact the same size as a KR 1/3 depth half tray as it can sit inside your case in place of a 1/3 depth tray. The accessory case is designed for rolling your dice in, and to hold accessories. Great to have when playing a game, you can keep one half for you to roll dice in and give the other half to your opponent to roll his dice in!

In Morogoro, Tanzania, Oxfam held a series of Women's Land Dialogues – opportunities for rural women to discuss how their land and property rights can be improved.
Women sat on benches under the shade of trees, surrounded by small mud huts with grass roofs. The colourful mix of clothing styles illustrated the diversity of Kwambe village, including small farmers from a number of ethnic groups and pastoralists who are mostly Masai.
Nearly 200 women and men attended the day's event. Some women shared how they have lost land. After Jenny's husband passed away, a dam was built on her land. She was not compensated and there were never even any negotiations with her. It happened in 2003 but this was the first time she had shared the story – for years she had kept quiet, but today she was animated and bitter about what had happened.
A young woman challenged the leaders directly, saying, "Women don't get assistance from the village leaders and government if they do not have money." The loud cheer from the crowd confirmed that this is a common experience.
Elisabeth told the meeting how land on which she and her husband grazed their livestock had been sold to someone from Dar es Salaam (the Tanzanian capital). The village leaders denied selling the land, but the issue has still not been resolved.
On a more positive note we heard from a man called Shukrani. He explained how he gave his wife, Christina, a substantial piece of land where she grows maize. Christina confirmed that the land is hers. Shukrani's logic was that Christina works the land and supports the family, and will do so whatever happens in their relationship – so it makes sense for her to control the land.
Similar examples had been shared in the village of Ludewa-Giongo, where another Women's Land Dialogue was held a few days earlier. In that meeting we also heard from five single women who have done so well at farming that the village authorities allocated land to them.
Later we discussed how to end violence against women. The session revealed that many men and women accept the use of violence against women who are believed to have done something wrong. Some did argue that violence is wrong and communication rather than force is needed to reach agreement, and hopefully by the end of the session more people had come to agree!
There was a lot of singing and a Masai women's group performed the traditional Masai "jumping dance" – more commonly associated with men. Another group sang a song about women claiming their rights and the ability of women to produce food and, amongst other things, send their children to school.
Juliet from the Tanzania Women Lawyers Association explained the land laws and the procedures for women to assert their rights, emphasising that, "Women should not stay at home when the village is discussing land issues. Tall or short, all women, come and raise your voices." Closing the event, the (male) Village Chairperson promised that his office will always be open to listen to them.
i really liked the idea of bringing rural women together to share their experiences, learn from others that they can share whatever problems they are facing. my experience working with rural women has shown me that rural women are very shy or they think that as women they are supposed to endure any problem thay come acrross just like what the widow whose land was taken and a dam built without even consulting her. issues of women's land rights are similar every where in Africa and this is affecting women. there is need for awareness raising to increase the recognition of women's land rights as well as to sensitise the women themselves as some of them are not aware that they have these rights. the issue of women's land rights is an issue at my heart. i grew up in a rural communal areas where my mother would work very hard on the land and the fame would go to my father who would come and decide what to do with the proceeds from the field. I am now forty years old and this is still happening to many women out there. we need to do something, women develop the land and recognition is given to the husband because 'he is the owner of the land' and the woman can any time be asked to leave the premise, yes i can go and start over but i am not as young and energenic as i was when i worked to develop that piece of land.


well thats not helpful meaning everyone i know is terrible with computers!
I'm using a HP laptop but I don't know my specks for starters. I don't know anything about computers. I wouldn't know how to turn those off and I don't really understand what to do.

Can trade agreements integrate innovations and progressive dispositions? In this era of fast changes linked to globalization and technological changes which fuel discontent, this question has emerged in the literature and in the negotiation processes of many recent agreements. In the first section of this article, we will introduce the structural changes that are beneath the surface of recent trade agreements using a typology of trade agreements enabling comparative analysis. In the second section, we will discuss some of the most important innovations of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) negotiated by Canada and the European Union. In the third section, we will see that part of the innovative nature of CETA, its evolutionary nature, brings many unsettled trajectories. In the fourth section, we will discuss how CETA is further unsettled in its trajectory because it puts into relation two distinctive integration models highlighted in our typology, one developed in Europe and the other in North America and, furthermore, because of the more general context that also puts into play Asia and China as emerging shapers of economic trade agreements.
Trade, Agreements, Innovation, Transatlantic, Integration, Regulation, Cooperation, Globalization, Innovation, Progressive Trade
The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) negotiated by Canada and the European Union (EU) is nowadays one of the most innovative trade agreements. It falls into what we call a third generation of trade agreements (Rioux, Deblock, & Viau, 2015). A first generation of trade agreements was modelled on the European integration process using a community building approach while a second generation was shaped by the North American Free Trade Agreement which is based on a contractual approach. The third wave of trade agreement is clearly pointing to a new generation of agreements with distinctive aspects from the two first generations. CETA is a good illustration of the innovations of this new model emerging.
CETA does innovate in many ways. Innovations include the definition of investment and the investor-state dispute settlement mechanism, the recognition of professional qualifications, the defense of culture and services as well as many other new path breaking articles and chapters affecting trade and investment across the Atlantic.
Yet, the real innovation is not in those areas per se, but in the fact that it introduces international regulatory cooperation into the body of the text and put in place institutional mechanisms combining dialogue and trade obligations with regards to regulations and governance issues. It does so by introducing a chapter on regulatory cooperation as well as the institutionalization of regulatory forums, including a civil society forum involved in the implementation process of chapters dealing with sustainable development, labor and the environment (Deblock & Wells, 2017).
In the first section of this article, we will introduce the structural changes that are beneath the surface of recent trade agreements. In the second section, we will discuss the innovations of CETA. In the third section, we will focus on the progressive elements of the agreement. The fourth section will question its impacts as its future trajectories are very unsettled. CETA is unsettled mainly, we argue, because it puts into relation two distinctive integration models, one developed in Europe and the other in North America and because of the more general context that also puts into play Asia and China as strong shapers of the future of economic and trade agreements (Deblock & Lebullenger, 2018).
2. Structural Changes and the Nature of Trade Agreements
Generated by the technologies produced and the rules written in the 20th century, global interconnections induce a renewal of economic and trade regulation. Trade is fundamentally changing. Transnational economic structures and networks deployed by multinational—even global—companies that cross territorialized political systems do not fail to overthrow the relations of authority between large economic units and political entities. This increases the rivalry between national or regional spaces that seek to pull themselves together, while losing important levers of economic regulation. The risks of competition between regions of the world are then exacerbated by the fractures resulting from competition between economic systems and political systems. We are witnessing the deepening of globalization through the interaction of economic, legal, social and political spaces, in order to make them interoperable. And in a multipolar world where the United States no longer stands out unchallenged with Asia gaining in influence, private powers such as Google, Amazon, Apple or Facebook remind us of a certain Rockefeller empire of the early twentieth century that can only amplify the uncertainties and risks of global disorder.
We had identified second generation agreements with NAFTA that led away from the EU integration model. When NAFTA came into effect more than two decades ago, the revolution in information and communications technology was still in its infancy, the web had just emerged and, therefore, e-commerce did not exist. The emergence of global value chains (GVCs) is a second factor. Until the 1990s, the internationalization of multinational firms basically meant the establishment of subsidiaries abroad and designed primarily to protect multinationals, NAFTA-type agreements were part of a dynamic of this kind of internationalization of firms. The internationalization has changed with the emergence of global value chains linking independent yet networked producers, distributors, large and small across the world. One word summarizes this new economic reality: fluidity—that of cross-border flows along GVCs and throughout networks. Furthermore, we have entered a new world of interconnection that is not looking for fusion or unity but rather simply to connect different systems and units through codes, networks, data, standards.
The first generation of agreements had the ideal model of the European model aimed at nothing less than multidimensional regional integration (trade, security, money, law and politics). Integration is a strong concept, combining ideas of fusion, concentration and, ultimately, unity that makes less sense today as the economy grows more networked (Ares, Boulanger, & Deblock, 2016). Recent trade agreements are very ambitious but there are by no means, aiming at creating a single unit like the EU. New words, like comprehensive and partnership, combine to define what Deblock (Deblock, 2016) depicted as an "interconnection" model that is essentially geared towards "regulatory cooperation and governance". This issue is now at the core of discussions within the OECD, APEC or new trade agreements, according to terms and principles very different from previous negotiations.
We now have before us a third generation of trade agreements that go beyond trade issues in the strict sense and that tend to have a new "progressive" orientation. We have entered a New World, that of interconnection, and it is in this context that the model of third-generation agreements, which stand out singularly from the first and second generations of trade agreements, makes perfect sense.
With the new networks, gateways are created to smoothly circulate information between systems that function independently and necessarily share the same codes or language as it would be the case with a unified system (De Bardeleben & Leblond, 2011). Networks can be cross-border, like the value chains that cross regions, continents, the world, but they are now mostly outside the borders, and increasingly dematerialized like the Internet, to which E-commerce owes its existence, the new engine of world trade. Harmonization or interoperability of rules becomes a key element here; whether it is to establish recognized, effective technical, macro-prudential, social, environmental, etc. We are at the heart of a project which, under the pressure of change, governments have no alternative than to adjust to using multiple ways, including trade agreements, investment agreements and regulatory cooperation (Verdier, 2010).
We are on new grounds that require trade agreements based on new methods of negotiation taking into account issues that are all but strictly commercial. It is the particularity of new agreements like CETA to propose institutional frameworks to advance a "dialogue between regulators", to use an expression used in an interview by Pascal Lamy1. CETA is one of them, along with the mega-partnerships of the Trans-Pacific Partnership which is now the CPTPP (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific), the Atlantic Partnership, and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) or the United States, Mexico, Canada Agreement (USMCA).
But let's concentrate on CETA. CETA is opening new institutional trajectories for the regulation of transatlantic trade and investment. We see emerging transnational regulatory responses accelerating the disappearance of the boundary between the public and private spheres at various levels—local, national, international and global—giving way to a complex system of networks between authorities endowed with overlapping rights and obligations. This participates in the deepening and widening a regulatory cooperation.
3. Transatlantic Regulatory Cooperation
In this new context, States move forward and, short of being able to establish global shared rules and codes, they seek mutually recognized or interoperable technical, macro-prudential, social, environmental norms, etc. They do this using different instruments, and trade agreements can certainly contribute. Most often, this process is increasing privately led or induced but such institutional trajectories ultimately find their way back to national systems, and sometimes through trade agreements. Trade agreements always have the effect, once ratified, of modifying the laws, regulations and other administrative procedures of the contracting Parties. Initially limited to goods and tariffs, trade disciplines were extended to non-tariff barriers and then to services to cover trade facilitation today.
CETA has indeed been now implemented for almost two full years and it is clear that it created a new framework for dialogue in the trade and economic relations between Canada and the EU2. First, CETA points to international regulatory cooperation as a main ongoing trajectory in terms of market access, equal treatment and dispute resolution but also with regards to new subjects like labor, the environment, small and medium-sized enterprises and domestic regulations. Second, it introduces a new institutional framework, partnership, with implies new institutions, dialogue and advisory groups that will impact on its interpretation and implementation, and thus on its evolutionary path.
CETA deals with regulatory cooperation in a number of areas, including in chapter 12 dealing with Domestic Regulation, chapter 21 addressing Regulatory Cooperation, chapter 25 in relation to Bilateral Dialogues and Cooperation, and chapter 26 setting administrative and institutional arrangements (listing and specifying the list and terms of reference of the specialized committees, including the Joint Management Committee for Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures, the Regulatory Cooperation Forum, the Committee on Geographical Indications, etc.—Article 26.2). Many other chapters involve, in many diverse ways, regulatory cooperation, notably when it comes to electronic commerce, telecommunications, technical barriers to trade, and sanitary and phytosanitary measures.
Let's focus on Chapter 21 of CETA. Four objectives are defined in chapter 21: 1) to contribute to the protection of the life, health or safety of persons or animals, the preservation of plants and the environment; 2) to build trust, deepen mutual understanding and building on each other's expertise, 3) to facilitate bilateral trade and investment and 4) to improve the economic competitiveness and efficiency. The idea is to eliminate barriers to trade and investment, while fostering innovation and effective regulatory processes that support public policy objectives. CETA affirms the sovereignty of the Parties to legislate and regulate, the high level of quality sought for regulation and the freedom to choose to participate in cooperative activities mutually agreed upon. The goal is not so much to seek harmonization as to make the regulations compatible, to favor their convergence and thus to facilitate trade. Reciprocity, like equal treatment, as cornerstones of the modern trading system, does not fit this framework. Regulations, like any institution, are not easy to change or even less to bring closer since differences are rooted in history, politics and values. In many ways, when protectionism is alleged, it relates to the differences between regulatory systems and this most often is the tip of the iceberg of "singular and discriminatory" national regulatory systems. Certainly, it is difficult to make the difference between protectionist or restrictive measures and measures justified by legitimate public policy objective in the public interest.
With CETA, a Regulatory Cooperation Forum (RCF) is created "to facilitate and promote regulatory cooperation" and is co-chaired by high-level representatives at the Deputy Minister level for Canada and Executive Director for the European Commission. It reports to the Joint Committee. In CETA, the path chosen is that of cooperation, dialogue and transparency. The RCF does not have decision-making authority but its recommendations will count and, through the Joint Committee, can become decision if accepted by both Parties.
Pluralism is also a key element (Deblock & Wells, 2017). The cooperative dialogue is not limited to the regulatory and regulatory agencies alone; it is extended to "private entities". The term covers interested stakeholders, including representatives of the business community, academia, non-governmental organizations and specialized organizations. This opening reflects a new trend in the field of regulatory cooperation as not only are specialized technical organizations, private or not, increasingly involved in setting norms and standards, but there is also growing collaboration between government agencies and members of civil society.
It is questionable, however, whether by giving it a very broad mandate and by involving private entities in its operation, the FRC could not make it possible to deal more effectively with societal issues such as the environment, labor, sustainable development, culture, etc. Although they are the subject of specific chapters or exception in CETA, as in many other trade agreements, their treatment in the agreements is still debated and the results do not satisfy anyone. The RCF could offer the opportunity to broaden the debate on transversal issues and thereby interacting with dialogue and cooperation activities that are the subject of the chapters regarding sustainable development, labor and the environment. This would contribute to have regulatory cooperation build on a more progressive pillar rather than one that is strictly technical/trade oriented. This leads us to consider the Sustainable Development chapter and two chapters it covers, labor and environment.
4. Progressive Transatlantic Regulatory Trajectory
We will now concentrate on labor more specifically. The innovation of CETA, in this regard, is that it was the first time a social clause was negotiated in a North-North trade agreement since NAFTA, which really incorporate the social clause because Mexico was involved. Canada and the EU are two entities that have actively promoted the diffusion of such social clauses in trade agreements but CETA is the first social clause between two developed trade partners, between two partners that have insisted on integrating labor chapters in trade agreements and between two transatlantic trade partners. It is important since it will likely confront or build a bridge between two approaches to these chapters—a North American approach versus a European approach. Will CETA lead to a transatlantic model or to a way to make compatible two different approaches? Nobody can tell as institutional trajectories are not paved with certainty.
Chapter 23 of CETA deals with labor issues. The chapter can lead one to conclude that there was a compromise in terms of obligations and a predominance of European preferences in terms of dispute and settlement mechanism. On substance, the EU insisted on ratification of fundamental ILO (International Labor Organization) Conventions and on the integration of the chapter into a wider Sustainable Development Chapter in line with the European social clause model. Yet, the principles and obligations reflects a real consensus on the importance of the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work (1998) which commits Member States, even if they have not ratified the relevant Conventions, to respect rights related to freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining, the elimination of forced or compulsory labor, the abolition of child labor and the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation. In CETA, thanks in part to the pressure of the EU, Conventions have to be ratified, and Canada has now ratified all 8 relevant Conventions.
The chapter covers the main provisions dear to both parties. On the Canadian side, a non-derogation clause was important, the emphasis on public participation in the process and finally, an institutional mechanism on two levels, with a Sustainable Development Council that replaces the Ministerial Council found in previous Canadian agreements, and a second level, the establishment of focal points in the ministries.
On the issue of enforcement, CETA fell short of a chapter tied to the dispute settlement mechanism with penalties or sanctions. The enforcement mechanism is based on a conciliation procedure and, if necessary, the constitution of a panel of three experts. This falls short of Canada's insistence on a strong enforcement approach based on the same dispute settlement mechanism that applies to other chapters of the agreement. Let's recall the debate that almost derailed the negotiation on the investor-State dispute settlement resolution leading to a new institutional design unique to CETA (Magnette, 2017).
In contrast, no procedure provides for any penalty for the labor chapter, contrary to provisions related to other trade and investment chapters. There are two approaches in integrating social clauses in trade agreements: 1) conditional; and, 2) promotional. The conditional approach is more used in the North American model which makes the enforcement of labor chapters subject to penalties, or to dispute settlement mechanisms with relatively strong sanctions. The promotional approach, adopted by the EU, considers cooperation is more effective than sanctions or penalties.
Yet, the main innovation is the Civil Society Forum which will be very important in the future trajectories of CETA. CETA is potentially an evolutionary agreement and this is very innovative. The civil society forum was created with the aim of increasing the involvement of organizations in the implementation of the agreement. The forum also aims to enable civil society to bring its concerns to the attention of governments. In order to make this mechanism work, the Government of Canada has established a national advisory group of labor and environmental organizations, such advisory group existed in Europe with prior agreements.
While these initiatives are still recent, the capacity of these mechanisms to effectively relay the demands of civil society organizations needs to be assessed. Two models are interacting in this regulatory framework and there are many institutional uncertainties regarding the different interpretation of the text and how it translates in concrete terms both sides of the Atlantic.
5. Unsettled Trajectories
If CETA is innovative and perhaps evolutionary, its future is uncertain. Highly sensitive national regulations are now often presented as the last major obstacles to the free movement of goods and services, capital and even people. Yet, those regulations are at the core of our national systems and reflect societal values and priorities that should not be equated to protectionist measures even though in some instances they might indeed have impacts on trade and investment. It is controversial to distinguish between what is legitimate and what belongs to the order of the common good and public interest and diverse forms of disguised protectionism. But the essential is not in this issue. Globalization and paradigm shifting information and communication technologies have profoundly disrupted production methods, consumption patterns, and lifestyles. Interconnection, the networking of global value chains, the dematerialization of trade, and its deterritorialization, are at the heart of an upheaval that fundamentally change trade flows and relations, but also the vision we have of trade and how it should be governed. In this fast changing world economy, regulations are not changing fast enough and cooperation is very complex (Breault & Rioux, 2019).
It is no longer enough for markets to be open across boundaries and to allow for fair competition within borders. More important is that national regulatory systems need to be interoperable and ensure the fluidity in a new trade system that has arisen with new technologies bringing national economic systems closer to one another, most often colliding or conflicting, a situation that is not good for anyone, except for those speculating on those differences. This era is undoubtedly marked by the seal of interconnected and interoperable regulatory systems. The OECD has embarked on this challenge, like other international organizations and, since the turn of the current decade, trade agreements have also made strong incursion into this domain of international cooperation. CETA is part of this transformation. Regulatory cooperation is the subject of particular chapters, but it is also cross-cutting. Yet, the digital transatlantic market has many significant regulatory controversies (taxation, fiscal issues, …) which lead us to caution and to conclude on the very uncertain future of CETA in terms of real and effective innovations and progressive regulations.
The way ongoing cooperation and enforcement mechanisms are going to work is still unclear. CETA is an evolving agreement. The text of the agreement explicitly provides for this. Who will decide, however, on future developments of the agreement? The text gives latitude providing for civil society and private entities to play an important role. What remains to be seen is who will engage and what trajectory will CETA take. The text of CETA exists, but many chapters still need to be written.
Furthermore, CETA puts into relation two distinctive integration models, one developed in Europe and the other in North America in a context that also puts into play Asia and China emerging in the shapers of economic trade agreements. CETA's future will depend on the articulation of two models of integration, east and west of the Atlantic. North America emerged in the 90s as a strong and influential regional model of integration. Stephen Clarkson (2002) has analyzed the nature of trade agreements in North America and talked about them as "constitution" shaping societies, economics and politics. In Apples and oranges: prospects for the comparative analysis of the EU and NAFTA as continental systems, he develops the idea that NAFTA is a constitution and an American mode of regulation3. In North America, regional integration has developed as a mainly contractual and essentially strategic model, oriented on economic issues. Partners work to eliminate restrictive policies and regulations rather than to build a common and supranational approach in a multidimensional perspective; i.e. taking into account the public good in economic governance as part of wider social and political integration project. Nowadays, the European Union is an economic, legal, monetary and political reality, even though an imperfect and contested one4.
When Canada and the EU enforce an agreement so ambitious like CETA, how does this agreement compare to the regional integration processes underway both sides of the Atlantic, what does it mean for their respective lives and for their interactions that will be increasing in the next years as the agreement become a living experiment and take a life of its own. And, how would CETA interact with a Transatlantic Partnership (TTIP). Negotiations between Europe and the United States that are still planned but controversial would also involve far reaching regulatory cooperation. The EU negotiator for the TTIP made no secret of it. Important issues are the investor-state dispute mechanism, electronic commerce, norms and standards, including labour standards and rights.
Another source of uncertainty is coming from Asia. The TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership), which became the CPTPP (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership), also placed emphasis on regulatory co-operation across the Pacific. Indeed, a very important factor and structural element shaping governance and regulation of economic integration in North America is the importance of Asia and more specifically of China for the region5. On this front, North America is being, to a degree, shaped by new views of trade rules and being challenged by China as the leader of the trading system. Since the 1930s, the United States, although with important debates internally, promoted trade liberalization based on a system of legal rules and principles "organizing" the trading system and their relations with trading partners. The actual conflicts that points to a potential trade war means that the United States still want to make the rules of the game and have others comply to gain access to the US market. How does this impact of the future of CETA and its enforcement? This certainly adds to the very unsettled future of CETA that otherwise could secure an innovative course as a promising trade agreement.
Globalization has led to weaker national and international regulatory frameworks and to the emergence of new "globalist" institutional and normative frameworks. These are contested and this leads to a conflicting landscape that some call deglobalization or slowbalization (Breault & Rioux, 2019; van Bergeijk, 2019). The rise of populism and discontent about economic inequalities can be related to weak economic and social international institutions. (Stiglitz, 2019). Trade agreements are under pressure to deliver balanced and effective regulation. CETA is a trade agreement that has the potential to be innovative and progressive as it deals with many new areas of regulation.
Yet, CETA lacks a clear path and faces enormous challenges as to succeed it must bridge two different traditions of economic integration and a new model that emerges in Asia. These challenges with the growing trade disputes initiated by the United States may well stop CETA from innovation and social progress. But short of succeeding, contestation and conflicts will shape the future of the world economy.
This article established the very innovative yet fragile nature of CETA and an innovative, evolutionary and progressive third generation agreement. It is significantly shaping a re-articulation of relations between the international, national and provincial orders and between the domains of national policies, especially between trade and labor, trade and culture, trade and investment, trade and regulations ... which requires increased cooperation between ministries at the national level and at the level of relations between the provinces and the federal government. CETA also reflects the emergence of plural governance involving a re-articulation of the relationship between the public authorities and civil society actors and the private sector.
The importance of analyzing CETA as a third generation trade and economic agreement must be understood in the context of its distinctive aspects from early agreements as well as from agreements emerging in Asia and in the transpacific space. Most importantly, it must be further analyzed in terms of its evolutionary nature and whether or not it can and will provide for progressive relation of the transatlantic trade and economic relations. If it does so, perhaps, it can and will be copied and become a new model for other agreements.

Collagen, the most abundant component in mammalian tissues, has a crucial impact at skin level. Both promotion and maintenance of cross-linked collagen at the skin are critical to sustain the functionality and appearance of that tissue. Lysyl oxidases, also known as LOX enzymes, are the major collagen cross-linking enzymes that play a pivotal role in homeostasis. This minireview summarizes evidence that describes an amino oxidase-like activity, which could be attributed to polyphenols, or where polyphenols could be required. We also discuss some available collagen formulations and the scientific evidence that describes the impact on dermal extracellular matrix. In addition, information about encapsulation strategies to carry polyphenols, and some examples are also provided.
