View Full Version : Spoiler! Easy solution to achieving "undetected" at DRB (Detroit).
Eradicate the entire gang before getting the Malloy / Jenny missions. This way you automatically go undetected through DRB territory and get the extra XP for it.
usefull tip, ofcourse it does nothing for those of us who just don't want to get detected at all, in or out of missions.
Thumbs up to the game mechanics here. A lot of other games would not have dealt with this in a logical manner. I love how this mechanic makes sense.

Guess who doesn't know the rules of soccer?
"Australia was a little bit offside." Interviewed for the ABC TV program Played, this was how FIFA boss Septic Bladder explained Australia's failed bid to host the 2022 World Cup. Which suggests Septic needs a crash course in the rules of soccer. Because you have to be on the actual field of play — and,…
Would the last person to leave FIFA please turn out the light?
Here's a picture of FIFA's executive boardroom. Yes, it would probably be right at home on a Star Trek set. But the point is, it's empty. You see, after a night of the long knives wielded by FIFA's ethics committee (sorry, that phrase still cracks me up), there's no one left to run the joint….
The killing fields of the Qatar World Cup
The 2022 FIFA World Cup will be held in a graveyard. Already an estimated 1,200 workers have died building Qatar's World Cup stadiums and associated infrastructure. This number is expected to rise to 4,000 over the next seven years. Basically a worker a day. The International Trade Union Confederation compiled these numbers based on statistics…
Are you trying to kill me, sport?
I'm not silly. I know being an elite athlete is about the worst thing you can do to your body. Strange as it may seem, all that fitness really isn't good for you. So I've opted for what I thought was a much safer pursuit as a couch potato. Over the years, I've swum world…
Who'll take home the best World Cup hair award?
As David Beckham prepared for his recent Amazon travel documentary, wife Posh asked him what he was going to do with his hair in all that humidity. The countless exotic critters that could curtail hubby's life — from Brazilian wandering spiders to poison dart frogs — seemed the least of her concern. Her greatest fear…
Minnows upset the World Cup apple cart
Let's call them the Generation Y of the World Cup. They're the teams that don't know their place and have scant regard for the football hierarchy. Coming into the tournament, they were largely there to make up the numbers, evolve their skills and learn from the experience. Except they never got the memo. So, these…
Tim Cahill exits the World Cup stage
The headline said it all. "Australia Just Scored the Goal of the World Cup. Yes, Australia." Until a few hours ago, it was hard to imagine anyone beating Robin van Persie's flying Dutchman effort for goal of the tournament. And then Tim Cahill did this. It couldn't have come at a better time. Just a…
Some free World Cup advice for England
Regular readers will know I'm not generally one for helping the English out of a pickle. One of my favourite pastimes as an irreverent Antipodean is thumbing my nose at the mother country, especially in all matters sport. Please see Exhibit A, B, C and D, otherwise known as my Ashes coverage. So if you're…

Join leading producers from Romagna – the eastern-most part of Italy's Emilia-Romagna region – for a wine tasting and flying aperitivo!
Grapes with a high genetic affinity to Italy's most well-loved grape Sangiovese were planted here in Etruscan times and today Sangiovese accounts for a quarter of all vines planted in the region of Romagna. Besides floral and fruity Sangiovese (different from Tuscan Sangiovese), you'll also find little-known indigenous varieties used to make refreshing whites, delicious rosés and some robust reds.
The wine-makers (all small, boutique wineries with their own story to tell) will be serving their wines themselves so you'll get chance to discover the secrets of this beautiful region known for its unparalleled hospitality, rolling hills and hedonistic beach resorts. Over recent years its wines have been attracting more and more attention thanks to their excellent value for money, diversity in character and interesting local varieties.
The tasting will open to Winelovers from 5.30pm and soon after we'll start serving a flying aperitivo. Come and taste over 60 different wines, drink and eat - all whilst enjoying the views from this new, uber-cool venue.

Scott Haring leads off:
The entries just kept coming, and coming . . . and coming.
So many entries that we couldn't look at them all in time to get the winners into the last issue of Pyramid. I spent an entire fun-filled week opening envelopes and looking over entries, and I was (mostly) very impressed with the deviousness of our contestants.
When the counting was done, we received 1,483 entries from 144 different people. Entries came from all over the world (10 foreign countries in all) and 27 different states. While many people sent in just one card, we got 56 cards from one person, and quite a few others sent in 20 or more. (By the way, our minions at the U.S. Post Office appreciate that several of you sent in your entries one to an envelope, though that was not required — the extra postage you bought will support our [NOT AVAILABLE AT YOUR CLEARANCE] plans in the [CENSORED] and [CENSORED]).
Some entries we couldn't accept for various reasons. The most obvious one was our prohibition against using other people's trademarks, though we must admit the "Pinky & The Brain" Illuminati card was inspired. Illegal, but inspired. And lots of people tried to do things based on "The X-Files," none of which we could use.
Another problem was with incomplete cards. Group cards that didn't list where the arrows went (or even how many there should be) topped that list, though there were other examples. Card ideas that included entirely new alignments, attributes or rule concepts, while showing a lot of initiative, were also outside the scope of the contest, though the ideas might show up in a future INWO supplement. We also rejected cards that simply rehashed existing cards or were too unbalancing.
That left plenty of other cards to judge, however. The single most popular idea was for a "Bill Gates" card — we must have gotten 15 or 20 of those — though "Excalibur" and "Atlantis" weren't far behind. Classic conspiracy theory got quite a workout as well; we received several "Grassy Knoll" cards, as well as "The Law of Fives" and other Illuminated ideas.
But enough from me. Here's Evil Stevie:
I was extremely impressed with the quality of submissions. There were a lot of good ideas here. Lots of duplications, of course . . . cards for Atlantis, Steve Jackson Games, combined assassinations, Trailer Parks as disaster magnets . . .
Cards were judged on originality, humor, weirdness and applicability to the game as it stands. For instance, because the game has lots of Disasters and Assassinations already (maybe too many), these cards were not favored. Things that help Places and Personalities, on the other hand, are needed in the game, and were favored. Great art counted, too, especially funny art.
The most common reasons for rejecting entries were duplication of existing cards; use of specific trademarks or other intellectual property of others; and too many words. We can only put so much on a card . . .
Note that of the 15 winning cards, three people had two each. We considered a "one prize per entrant" rule. Naaaaah. If you're good, you're good.
And here's the word you have been waiting for: I am working on another INWO supplement. Between the cream of the contest crop, and the ideas that came sparking as we read the entries, I'm inspired again . . . Don't look for it next week, though. Mid-1997 might be more like it.
And now, without further ado, The Winners . . .
Okay, a little bit of ado. I've changed phrasing on some of these cards when I thought they needed it for clarity. In those instances where I wanted to make a major change, though, it's in my comments below the card text.
Klaus Westerhoff, Bocholt, Germany:
THE LAW OF FIVES, NWO Red
"All things happen in Fives, or are divisible by or are multiples of Five, or are somehow directly or indirectly appropriate to 5." — Principia Discordia
Any player who takes an action must, if challenged, explain how this action follows the Law of Fives. If a player cannot find the Fives within his action within one minute of declaring that action, it is canceled.
This card replaces any Red NWO in play.
At last: a card even more annoying than Registered Trademark! This is the grand prize winner because it's not appropriate for any deck, but will benefit those players who can think fast and Illuminatedly. Suggestion: find a five before you declare the action.
This card has a lot of "jerk potential," and a tournament referee would be justified in banning it. But wouldn't it be better to ban the jerks?
Yes, that's right: the Illuminati declared a grand prize winner and then said it could be banned. Fnord.
FIRST PLACE (two winners)
Matt Savage, Sugarland, TX:
Place; Power 3/3; Resistance 4; Coastal, Magic; incoming arrow at top, no outgoing arrows
Could those statues be sculptures of the secret masters themselves?
If Easter Island is in your power structure, you are immune to all Secret groups, and to plots powered by their actions.
This is good not just because it's an Illuminated mystery that was not yet in the game, but also because the game can use an antidote to the dreaded all-Secret deck.
Stephen Brinich, Arlington, VA:
JACK OF ALL TRADES
"Specialization is for insects.'' — Lazarus Long
Link this card to any Personality you control. This is an action for that Personality. Any Plot card that requires an Action token may now use this Personality's action, even if the card normally requires some attribute or alignment the Personality does not possess. All other requirements of the Plot must still be met.
Requires Action
Nice and simple, and lets you improve a Personality in ways that encourage further creative play. This card would be good for deck-builders.
SECOND PLACE (four winners)
Eric Avedissian, Avalon, NJ:
ALIEN AUTOPSY
Is it real . . . or just a hoax?
Play this card after an attack by a Media group. The attack is canceled. Draw an extra Plot card immediately to replace this one.
All right, we had to do something with the Alien Autopsy! This one is nice and simple, definitely useful, and includes a good idea (immediate draw of a replacement) to make it even more useful in a modest way.
Glen Barnett, Ryde, Australia:
CHOOSE NOW!
Yer either with us or agin us . . .
Play this card during any non-Privileged attack. Every player must contribute an action token to either the attack or defense, or let either the attacker or defender draw one card from their Plot hand.
You may only play this card once per game.
It forces interaction, which is good. I'm not sure I would leave that last sentence in there . . . but I would add "if they have not already done so," after "contribute an action token to either the attack or defense." I might also look for a snappier name.
Play this card any time except during an attack. It requires an Illuminati action.
Place Dead End like a normal group card on a free outgoing control arrow of any group controlled by a rival. That arrow is now blocked and cannot be used to control any groups. The controller of the blocked group may use that group's action, or his Illuminati's action, to move Dead End to any other free outgoing control arrow of any rival group in play. To discard Dead End, all Illuminati must use their actions.
Requires Illuminati Action
A great idea, but I don't think I would let it be moved around the table. I'm not even sure I'd let it be discarded . . . have to think about that.
Mark and Max Osterhouse, Madison, WI:
"Whatever you do, don't touch that red button!"
Use Reset Button to take back any committed attack. All cards, and action tokens, return to their owners.
Unique Gadget - Action
I assume that an action can only be taken back if it was initiated by the owner of the Reset Button, and I'd edit the text to make that explicit. Nice power, strong enough to be worth having, not so strong as to unbalance the game.
THIRD PLACE (eight winners)
David J. Goodrich, Alexandria, VA:
A CHAIN IS ONLY AS STRONG AS ITS WEAKEST LINK
Use this card to switch the strongest and weakest cards, in terms of current Power, in a rival Illuminati's power structure.
Needs a shorter name and a snappy quote. Also needs to answer the question "what happens if the new shape of the Power Structure does not work or requires overlaps?" My answer would be "the owner of the Power Structure may fix these things by moving cards to new arrows on their masters, but must discard any Groups that cannot be made to fit." But it is evil and annoying and appears to play well.
David also wins a special art prize. He submitted several cards, including two that made the final cut . . . and every one of them had great computer-generated art which included the Secret Feature (no, we won't come out and say what it is) of all INWO cards. The Secret Masters are sending him a set of all 9 Illuminati from the original release, autographed by the guilty parties.
Bill Fogarty, Tallahassee, FL:
Place; Power 2/1; Resistance 5; Government, Violent, Criminal; Huge Coastal Nation. Incoming arrow at top, outgoing arrows at sides
"What do you mean, they're gonna legalize it?"
For every Criminal group that Columbia directly controls, it gets one extra action token.
Simple, appropriate, funny power. There are already lots of strong Criminal, Violent and Government groups . . . but since this is a Place, and a low-Power one at that, it does not seem too unbalancing. We'll see a lot of "Colombia controls New York" layouts, and a lot of Atomic Monsters coming after Columbia.
Bruce McLaren, Corinth, TX:
Power 2; Resistance 4; Government. Incoming arrow at top, outgoing arrow to left.
"Of course they did it. What do you think Emergency Management means?" By spending its action token, the Federal Emergency Management Administration may bring relief to any devastated Place, at any time . . . or, by losing the forms, cancel any relief just given.
I'd also give its puppet(s) a bonus to resist Disasters in the first place.
GOAL: PANGAEA
"Unite the land, and you unite the people."
Control Nation groups with a total Power of 28. Places that are not Nations count as one point of Power toward this goal. Your Illuminati's Power may not be counted toward this total.
This would need playtesting for balance. The total required may be too high, or perhaps all Places should count with their full Power.
Ian Wright, Gloucestershire, England:
GOAL: SPACE RACE
Any Space group counts double toward your total number of groups controlled. Or, up to 4 Satellite Resources (including the Orbital Mind Control Lasers) may count as groups toward your total number of groups controlled.
Good for Space decks . . . which is a concept that could use a bit of beefing up. You know, we really need a Space group whose special ability involves bringing out extra Satellite resources. That would have been a natural for NASA, of course. Private Launch Companies, maybe?
Steve Hatherly, Leeds, England:
GOAL: THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE
Reveal this card when you share a victory. You alone win!
If two or more There Can Be Only One cards are revealed, they are all canceled and the original shared victory stands.
Shangri-La cannot use this card.
Nasty! Making this a Goal, rather than a regular Plot, will keep people from using it too promiscuously.
David Smith, Auckland, New Zealand:
SUDDEN EUROPEAN OPERATION
Play this card at any time except during an attack. Link it to any Personality in play. That Personality loses its action token, if it had one. Its sex is switched. The Personality also gains the Weird alignment.
No Personality can have this card played on them more than once per game. A Science action is required to use this card.
Requires Science Action
A funny way to harass a foe, or to turn a card Weird at an important time. Or to set Margaret Thatcher up for a "Bimbo at Eleven" attack, for that matter. I'm not sure I see the point of limiting it to once per victim per game . . . if someone wants a second operation, let them!
The suggested art was Manuel Noriega, wearing heavy makeup and Princess Di's tiara.
Mark Bassett, Surrey, England:
Resource; Gadget
"I can't hear you, I can't hear you . . . "
Link this card to any Personality you control. That Personality immediately gains the alignment Weird, but while it wears the hat, its alignments cannot be changed further by any means, even by masters that normally change the alignment of their puppets.
Funny . . . and offering unexpected subtleties of play. Discordia will want some; so will Bermuda.
Jon Bellis, Eugene, OR:
N.E.A. and DIZZYLAND
Very good cartoon art.
Scott McEvoy, Dearborn, MI:
MAN EATING PLANT
Perverse idea (an Assassination to which Green groups can add their power) and peculiar sketch.
Scott Beattie, Murrumbeena, Australia:
GOAL: HIGH RISE DEVELOPMENT
Basically, this Goal was to get at least 7 Groups and then build a pyramidal house of cards out of them within 20 seconds. Ooooooo-kaaaaay. He had good art, too.
Phil Masters, Herts, England:
Hopelessly fashionable, Seattle is the home of industry, rock bands — and a lot of coffee. The town never sleeps (probably because of all that coffee).
With an intro like that, what else matters?
Kevin Lighton, Wood Ridge, NJ:
DISASTER: CAMPAIGN SPEECH
Say no more! Say no more!
Doug Atkinson, Jenison, MI:
MILLENNIUM FEVER
Play this card with any attack. The power of that attack is increased by the following amount, depending on the date, with an extra +5 if any Church group is involved in the attack:
1996: +3
1998: +10
New Year's Eve, 1999: +30
2001+: No bonus
I can't see actually using it in the game, because people would put a dozen into their decks. Great idea, though.

Rare Video: Tom Platz Interviews Top Pros On Steroids
Let's get real and simply admit that you cannot reach the professional level in bodybuilding without backing up your time at the gym with performance-enhancers and other growth-stimulating drugs. Steroids are like the pink elephant in the room that everybody ignores, even though it's no secret that they are regularly used by all of the top bodybuilders.
Do you really believe that their insane degree of muscularity is something you can get with a slight improvement of the average bodybuilder's diet and training?
These days a lot of supplement manufacturers will try to convince you that there are 'more natural' ways to achieve the effect of steroids – this is not true and it never will be. Performance-enhancing drugs are inevitable at the very top of this game and it doesn't look like the situation is going to change any time soon.
However, it's important to note that spectacular bodies cannot be made by using steroids alone, so the bodybuilders who use them regularly still have to train heavy and follow a strict diet plan. Real gains can be made only through hard and dedicated work, and steroids can then enhance them on a whole new level. Just think about it – if steroids could give you the ripped body of your dreams on their own, every second guy you see in the gym would have achieved that level of lean muscularity. However, the truth is that you need a lot more than magical substances to make it to the top. And while some pro's are rather unwilling to admit their steroid usage, others have been more open about it, which is very cool since bodybuilding fans will always be able to tell the difference by themselves. When everybody already knows you've used performance-enhancers, why not speak openly about it and help us all overcome the taboo that surrounds them?
Tom Platz is one of those brave guys who wanted to educate people on how steroids work and what is the right way to use them. He is also one of the few bodybuilders who have openly admitted to taking the drug during their heyday. There will always be people who are willing to take them, and without access to reliable informations, most of them end up doing it the wrong way, resulting with catastrophic consequences. In fact, Platz was so determined to share this valuable knowledge that he made an educational video featuring some of the top level competitors of his day. No matter what's your personal opinion on the subject, you gotta admit it's refreshing to see bodybuilders speak candidly about it, so check out his amazing old school video and learn the truth about steroid usage behind the stage:
Do you think steroids are dangerous?

Africa in Motion: Enhancing Public Awareness of African Cinema in Scotland, the UK and Internationally
The Africa in Motion Film Festival (AiM), based in Glasgow and Edinburgh, directly emerged from research led by David Murphy and a community of postgraduate students at the University of Stirling. The festival has attracted new audiences for African cinema (over 20,000 spectators since 2006) and contributed to wider debates about it amongst the general public, NGOs, as well as cinephiles in Scotland and more widely. In particular, two projects on the `lost classics' of African cinema allowed neglected films to be discovered both by a general audience and influential film critics/journalists.

C4 - BUGS (Bayesian inference using Gibbs sampling)
The WinBUGS software (and now OpenBUGS software), developed initially at Cambridge from 1989-1996 and then further at Imperial from 1996-2007, has made practical MCMC Bayesian methods readily available to applied statisticians and data analysts. The software has been instrumental in facilitating routine Bayesian analysis of a vast range of complex statistical problems covering a wide spectrum of application areas, and over 20 years after its inception, it remains the leading software tool for applied Bayesian analysis among both academic and non-academic communities internationally. WinBUGS had over 30,000 registered users as of 2009 (the software is now open-source and users are no longer required to register) and a Google search on the term `WinBUGS' returns over 205,000 hits (over 42,000 of which are since 2008) with applications as diverse as astrostatistics, solar radiation modelling, fish stock assessments, credit risk assessment, production of disease maps and atlases, drug development and healthcare provider profiling.

Climate-proofing cities using urban greenspace
Urban greenspace cools cities and reduces rainfall runoff but these effects have been difficult to quantify. Ennos's research is the first to give realistic figures for the contribution of greenspace and assess its potential to climate-proof cities. Key research findings have furthered the concept of green infrastructure, influenced local and national planning policy [text removed for publication]. Novel mapping tools developed by Ennos have had international impact, including use in the city master plan for Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Community forests have altered their planting practises as a result of Ennos's research findings.

Conflict management and post-conflict reconstruction in Casamance, Senegal
Martin Evans' research concerns conflict and its aftermath in the Casamance region of southern Senegal — the scene of West Africa's longest-running insurgency. His work has influenced policy, humanitarian and development activity in the region and beyond, and has informed Western governments, international agencies and non-governmental organisations in their interventions to support peacebuilding and `post-conflict' reconstruction. In addition, Evans has provided expert testimony in relation to asylum claims made in Western countries by Casamançais fleeing persecution. Building on his previous work, Evans has conducted the underpinning research for this activity while at Chester as a lecturer (February 2009-July 2011) and senior lecturer (August 2011-present).
His work has a lasting impact because of the situation's intractability and the need to address ongoing violence and human displacement. The conflict also retains the capacity to destabilise neighbouring countries.

Developing a new approach to malaria prevention in children: seasonal malaria chemoprevention in West Africa
Research in West Africa by LSHTM and partners has shown that monthly treatment with effective antimalarial drugs during the rainy season provides children with a very high degree of personal protection against malaria, can be delivered on a large scale by community health workers at moderate cost, and with no serious side-effects. Based on this research, WHO now recommends that children living in Sahel areas where malaria is a major problem should receive such `seasonal malaria chemoprevention' (SMC) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine. Ten countries have incorporated SMC into their strategic plans for malaria control.

Eliminating blinding trachoma through single dose treatment
Trachoma, caused by ocular infection with Chlamydia trachomatis, is the leading infectious cause of blindness. Research by Professors David Mabey and Robin Bailey, LSHTM, has shown that a single oral dose of azithromycin is an effective, feasible mass treatment and could eliminate trachoma from affected communities. As a result, the manufacturer Pfizer agreed to donate azithromycin to trachoma control programmes for as long as necessary and WHO established an Alliance for the Global Elimination of Blinding Trachoma by 2020. Since 2008, 205m azithromycin doses have been donated, and WHO elimination targets have been achieved in nine countries.

Enhanced carbon footprinting of food products
Bangor research has significantly affected vegetable sourcing and distribution policies and practice of major fresh producers and UK supermarkets. Using a novel carbon footprinting model that incorporates all components of the production chain, the research demonstrated that footprints of vegetables vary with season, origin, production processes, transport and storage. The application of this model by industry partners has resulted in measures by food producers, suppliers and supermarkets to reduce carbon footprints, providing direct economic and environmental benefits through both waste reduction and technology implementation. Furthermore, the findings have impacted on sustainability policy development by the World Bank, international NGOs and Welsh Government, and influenced consumer awareness and debate on the environmental impact of food.

Geoengineering the Climate: Science, Governance and Uncertainty
University of Southampton research has been crucial in informing and stimulating worldwide debate on geoengineering — the possible large-scale intervention in the Earth's climate system in order to avoid dangerous climate change. Climate modellers at Southampton helped to reveal the potential extent of the fossil fuel "hangover" — the long-term damaging effects expected from anthropogenic CO2 emissions centuries or even millennia after they end. This work led Professor John Shepherd FRS to initiate and chair a Royal Society study, whose 2009 report, Geoengineering the Climate: Science, government and uncertainty, is the global benchmark document on geoengineering strategies, influencing UK and foreign government policy.

Improving global efforts to reduce child poverty and deprivation: the impact of the Bristol Approach and its contribution to identification, measurement and monitoring.
Research conducted by the Centre for the Study of Poverty and Social Justice (CSPSJ) led to a new way of assessing child poverty in developing countries. This novel method (termed the Bristol Approach) resulted in the United Nations General Assembly's adoption, for the first time, of an international definition of child poverty (2006). It also underpinned UNICEFs Global Study on Child Poverty and Disparities (2008-10), which was run in over 50 countries. In the last ten years, the CSPSJ's work has put child poverty at the centre of international social and public policy debates. Its researchers have advised governments and international agencies on devising anti-poverty strategies and programmes that specifically meet the needs of children, and have significantly influenced the way child poverty is studied around the world. The Centre has developed academic and professional training courses for organisations like UNICEF on the issues of children's rights and child-poverty. Our work has also spurred NGOs such as Save the Children to develop their own child-development indices, and so has had a direct and profound impact on the lives of poor children around the planet.

Improving the provision of climate and weather information to smallholders in Africa and south Asia.
Reading research has led to changes in policies and activities of national and international organisations that support the development of smallholder agriculture, particularly those who focus on provision of climate and weather information. Over the 2008-2013 period, the research has resulted in improved understanding of farmers' perceptions and information needs together with the design and implementation of methods for providing climate information services that better reflect smallholders' requirements. The research has to date had impact on the policies and activities of organisations responsible for design and delivery of climate information and services in at least 10 countries in Africa and South Asia and benefited thousands of farmers.

ASPIRE Prize Awarded to Scientist Specializing in Wetland Biodiversity
Wiley celebrates the 10th anniversary of this award created to support collaboration and emerging scientists
HOBOKEN, N.J.- September 2, 2020 – John Wiley & Sons Inc. (NYSE:JWA)(NYSE:JWB), a global leader in research and education, in collaboration with the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and Elsevier, are pleased to announce that Dr. Huai Chen, a young scientist specializing in the research of wetland biodiversity and nature's contribution to people, has won the APEC Science Prize for Innovation, Research and Education known as the ASPIRE Prize. This is the 10-year anniversary of the prize created by Wiley and its partners to recognize young scientists who demonstrate excellence in scientific research and collaboration among their peers from other APEC member countries.
"We congratulate Dr. Chen for his outstanding work in wetlands biodiversity and continued commitment to international collaboration," said Brian Napack, President and CEO of Wiley. "Year after year over the past decade, ASPIRE has reminded us about the values of APEC and values of global science. Only by working across borders and cultures will we solve the world's most pressing challenges. Dr. Chen's impactful work in biodiversity and climate change management is a testament to these values."
Dr. Huai Chen, a leading researcher focusing in wetland biodiversity and ecosystem services, was named the region's top early career researcher. Wetlands conservation contributes to important works in climate change mitigation as one of the most effective carbon sinks. Dr. Chen's findings lead to a better understanding of these wetlands including protecting, developing new generation models for methane emissions and enhancing assessment of carbon storage and ecological value.
"I am honored to receive the ASPIRE award and share more about our work on wetlands. Knowledge knows no borders and I am proud to work with a team of international researchers as we advance our efforts in the Asia-Pacific," said Dr. Chen, who was nominated by China and is a professor at Chengdu Institute of Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Dr. Chen was selected from a group of twelve finalists, each nominated by one of the APEC member economies under the 2020 ASPIRE Prize theme, "Biodiversity for a Prosperous Economy." Nominees, all under 40 years of age, were considered based on their commitment to both excellence in scientific research as evidenced by scholarly publication and cooperation with scientists from other APEC economies.
"The theme, Biodiversity for a Prosperous Economy is exemplified in Dr. Chen's research," said Dr. Siti Hamisah, Secretary General of Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation Malaysia.
"Biodiversity is important to APEC economies that are rich in natural assets. A well-functioning ecosystem and rich biodiversity are foundational for human health, which contributes to the well-being of communities around the region," she added. "When we have a clearer understanding of nature and biodiversity, we can better respond to challenges and protect our world to enhance economic growth."
The ASPIRE Prize winner was announced by science, technology, and innovation officials from the APEC member economies at a meeting hosted by Malaysia.
"As we celebrate a decade of the ASPIRE Prize, we are thrilled to continue to advance excellence in research and foster cross border collaboration. The ASPIRE Prize helps us achieve our goals in the PPSTI to highlight the accomplishments of our researchers and support science and technology cooperation," said Daniel Dufour, Chair of the APEC Policy Partnership for Science, Technology, and Innovation, which oversees the prize.
"APEC's 21 members aim to create greater prosperity for the people of the region by promoting balanced, inclusive, sustainable, innovative and secure growth," said Dr. Rebecca Fatima Sta Maria, Executive Director of APEC Secretariat. "For over a decade, the ASPIRE Prize has inspired APEC's leadership to develop evidence-based, policy recommendations to help support future generations of scientific discoveries. In fact, there is no better time to celebrate science and technology than during the pandemic as it drives home the value and importance of this field in our lives."
"As we have seen, COVID-19 has greatly impacted our societies and ability to research and collaborate with one another. Yet Dr. Chen and all our ASPIRE nominees have gone above and beyond in demonstrating their scientific talent, knowledge, and innovation to develop key solutions that preserve our planet's biodiversity and economies," said YoungSuk "Y.S." Chi, Chairman of Elsevier. "We have no doubt that their impressive work will spark new discussions in how we can better protect our planet and people in the years to come," he concluded.
For his achievement, Dr. Chen was awarded a prize of $25,000, supported by publishers of scholarly scientific knowledge, Elsevier and Wiley.

September 20, 2016 2016 season, Football, Matt Porter.
As Appalachian State investigates alleged misbehavior that apparently occurred before Saturday's game, a Miami official said Tuesday his school found nothing and is moving on.
UM Athletics Director Blake James said a school review of multiple videos and social media posts and interviews with possible witnesses revealed no evidence of wrongdoing by Hurricanes players.
WSOC-TV in Charlotte, N.C. interviewed two members of the Appalachian State color guard, one of which said she was knocked to the ground by players as they ran onto the field.
The students told WSOC they do not plan to press charges.
Teams enthusiastically jogging onto the field is a common sight before games.
As the above video shows, App State players had a clear path to run. The color guard, unusually, was positioned along Miami's sideline in direct path of the visitors. Randleman told The Post on Monday that although the location of her squad was "poor placement," visiting players who have run through their formation before have apologized.
James didn't agree with that characterization.

vrk_sd posted this deal. Say thanks!
Scroll down, look for "Buy together and save $100"
FYI for anyone considering this. I purchased a similar deal two months ago or so with a 65" Samsung and a $200 gift card from Walmart. The TV arrived with the screen completely busted, so we called Walmart.com customer service, who advised that we would be able to take it back to Walmart and get a replacement. When we arrived at the store, the employee could not return or exchange the item, so they had to call the customer service number themselves.
After standing there for probably 45 minutes or so, they informed us that they would not ship us a replacement tv of the same model, or allow us to exchange it for the same model that was currently in stock at the store. The customer service rep on the phone gave us several different stories during the conversation, suggesting that we dispute the charges with our credit card company (it was purchased through Paypal), stating that we would be refunded the full amount including the gift card, and then finally stating that we would be refunded the price minus the gift card amount. After refusing to exchange it for a replacement of the same model, they stated they would give us a refund minus the $200 gift card, and that we would have to purchase the same model tv at the store, which was now at full price and would have cost an extra $250.
So we ended up buying a $200 gift card that we would not have wanted and getting a busted TV that they would not replace. Needless to say, I won't be buying electronics from Walmart again. I ended up going to Best Buy and purchasing a better model, so I can't comment on the quality of the tv, only the terrible experience I had purchasing a similar deal from Walmart.
There are 1,400+ comments. Cliff notes: The tv was showing limited stock at $200 at a few Walmarts. People were using that screen shot to initially price match to Best Buy (via chat or phone), until BB put a stop to it w/ a huge influx of requests. Others were then buying it wherever for full price then using price protection on their credit cards to get a refund to bring the price down to $200 (or $300, or whatever price they tried using as seen in the Wiki.) Towards the end of the thread, people were reporting their cc price protection claims were getting denied saying their cc company (or whatever 3rd party company handles the PP) started calling (instead of just going off the screen shot) the Walmarts showing limited stock online and then being told it wasn't in stock. So, claim denied.
*I didn't get in on that deal and did not attempt a BB price match or a price protection claim. I just happened to follow that thread, continuously checking BrickSeek, in hopes one of my local stores would drop their price. They haven't though. All have been $498 ever since that thread started.
I don't see $100 gift card offer.
Could you scroll down on the website?
I scrolled to bottom and see it now. Thanks.
Wow walmart has been trying to get rid of this model. Got this when it was was $199 couple of months back.
That's great price. Do you like the TV? I see overall good reviews. I just cancelled my TCL s405 and ordered this today.
Will the stores match this deal in stores, not available for store pick up?

On the 26th of September 1958 our Golden Jubilee was marked by a special celebratory dinner.
An anniversary booklet entitled 'What Players Are They?' was written by our Secretary A. A. Dean to commemorate the occasion and tell the story of the society from it's beginnings in 1908.
Click the thumbnails above to browse through 'What Players Are They?', our 50th anniversary booklet.
As was the custom at the time, two plays were staged that year as a 'Shakespeare Festival' in back-to-back weeks during February. The plays produced for this momentous year were 'The Merchant Of Venice' & 'Henry V'.
We hope to be able to bring you more information and photographs from our 50th anniversary soon.

Bali declares 'rubbish emergency' as beaches are buried
Bali's tourist trade affected by mounting rubbish on beaches
Bali has declared itself to be in a "rubbish emergency" after high tides drag heaps of plastic waste onto its beaches.
The island, which is one of holidaymakers' top destinations in Indonesia, risks having its beautiful shorelines ruined if pollution levels do not improve.
One 3.6 mile stretch of beach along the island's West Coast has already been listed as an "emergency zone" after officials noticed that the high levels of waste washing onto the sand was affecting the tourist trade.
Hundreds of tons of rubbish
Around 700 workers have been sent to the affected beaches, Jimbaran, Kuta and Seminak, to improve the situation. They have been moving as much as 100 tons of rubbish from the beaches each day.
Indonesia is the second biggest maritime plastic polluter, with much of what washes up on beaches coming from the Java Sea. Pollution is becoming an increasing problem for the country, clogging the cities' waterways and increasing the chance of flooding.
It is also incredibly harmful to the marine animals and wildlife that inhabit the area.
The indifference of many islanders and the inadequacy of municipal refuse collection are also problematic factors.
"It is awful. People just don't care - it's everywhere," one hotel worker said of the mounting rubbish.
"The government does something, but it is really just a token thing."
There are, however, plans in place to improve Bali's shorelines in the near future. In 2018, authorities plan to ban plastic bags, and are committed to raising awareness of the problem.
The government has pledged to reduce marine plastic waste by 70 per cent by 2025.
But for a country with 250 million inhabitants, the scale of the problem is enormous.
Travelling to Indonesia? Don't forget to secure watersports and activities travel insurance.

Insanity of Zero Tolerance Rules:10-Year-Old Girl Arrested, Handcuffed for Taking Scissors to School
"My daughter cried and cried," said her mother, Rose Jackson. "She had no idea what she did was wrong. I think that was way too harsh." Police officers decided the girl hadn't committed a crime and let her go. However, school officials suspended her for five days. Administrators will decide at a hearing whether she may return to class, or be expelled to a special disciplinary school. The scissors were discovered while students' belongings were being searched for property missing from a teacher's desk.
More Letters in NY Post Respond to Op-ed on Steroids and Baseball.
The New York Post has several more letters responding to the op-ed that Sonya Jones and I had earlier in the week.
Well, people feel pretty strongly about this issue. Again one of the letters brings up in a very general way the point that I have heard over the week: if some players use steroids, everyone else will also be forced to use them and that you may only have a few who are really willing to use them. It doesn't really seem to me that there is a free-riding problem here because the league and the union internalize the costs and benefits. If the net benefits to the fan from this higher quality play exceeds the costs imposed on the players, the league has an incentive to let players use the drugs. If not, they won't. The responses to the other letters seem straightforward. I am not sure why we don't recognize that people make informed decisions about risk every day or that in all sorts of ways people take risks to improve performance in life. Football injuries are just one example. Do we really need to have the government regulate everything?

One take on Mary Francis Berry's term ending on the US Commission on Civil Rights
As this article notes, I have had my own run ins with Berry. Anyway, I think that Mona Charen captures many people's reaction to Berry finally leaving: "Berry ruled the Civil Rights Commission like a dictator, bullying her allies and undermining her foes through means fair and foul. When President Bush appointed Kirsanow, Berry refused to seat him until a court ordered her to do so. She stood for the principle that no fact should stand in the way of her moral posturing. She got away with it for way too long."
Saddam Hussein's trial in limbo
"the UN ordered serving staff- including experienced lawyers from the Yugoslavia war crimes tribunal - not to take part because of concerns about . . . the tribunal's willingness to impose the death penalty"
Because of this "Iraqi judges and prosecutors chosen to try Saddam Hussein are 'nowhere near ready', according to western officials who saw them at a secret training session in London."

Four victims shot dead in ''No-guns'' Ohio nightclub
Report at Foxnews.com
Ohioans For Concealed Carry Statement:
This incident reinforces the fact that disarmament zones only disarm honest, law-abiding citizens; not the criminals who prey upon them.
This mass killer broke scores of firearms, liquor and criminal laws in committing this rampage. These same laws did nothing to protect the law-abiding citizens at this event.
Under current Ohio law, bearing handguns for self-defense in establishments which serve drinks under a Class D liquor license is illegal, even for employees. In fact, Ohio's law would prevent SECURITY at this nightclub from carrying a handgun, even if the club owner had wanted them to do so.
When the Ohio House or Representatives passed Sub. House Bill 12 in 2003, specific exemptions were contained to allow bar owners to protect themselves and their patrons. This provision was stripped from the final bill by the state Senate.
Many other states allow concealed handgun license-holders to enter into liquor establishments, and even to consume alcohol, so long as they do not drink to the point of impairment.
Ohio's complete ban on self-defense in liquor establishments has proven time and again to be a complete failure. It is time for Ohio to join the other state's who have recognized there is nothing to fear from law-abiding citizens who choose to defend themselves.
Academics making inaccurate claims about confirmation rates of judges
Michael Gerhardt at William & Mary Law School and Erwin Chemerinsky at Duke Law School had an amazine piece in the Los Angeles Times where they claim among other things that President George W. Bush has "the highest success rate ever for a president's judicial nominations." An e-mail that I received from Gerhardt noted that despite the claims made in the op-ed they calculated the confirmation rate "by looking at the number confirmed of those reaching the Senate floor." Thus by dropping out the nominees who had problems (from filibusters to nominations that never made it through committee when the Democrats controlled the Senate), there are apparently few problems. Even with this carefully selected data, they ignore recent administrations such as for Carter or Reagan's first term.
So What's Wrong with Players on Steroids?
Sonya Jones and I have an op-ed at the New York Post today. It starts out:
SO athletes use steroids to perform better. Wall Street traders take Ritalin and everyone uses caffeinated drinks during work to stay alert. News anchors get face lifts and actors take Botox so more people watch them. What's different about athletes?
UPDATE: Rush Limbaugh discussed our op-ed during the first and second hours of his radio show today. FreeRepublic.com also has a long thread discussing the op-ed. It also was reprinted on Foxnews.com and the Philadelphia Inquirer.
An interesting op-ed on Bernard Kerik, the new head of Homeland Security
The son of a prostitute who was "tortured, beaten, brutalized and used," abandoned by his father when he was 2 years old, raised by a violent stepfather with a criminal past, Bernard Kerik began stealing and dropped out of high school. . . . What saved Mr. Kerik from a life of crime was a passion for the martial arts . . .
More on bias in academia
The WSJ writes on some new studies on academic bias. Among the other interesting points:
For instance, nearly half said that their professors "frequently comment on politics in class even though it has nothing to do with the course" or use the classroom to present their personal political views. In answers to other questions, the majority acknowledged that liberal views predominate. Most troubling, however, were the responses to the survey item "On my campus, there are courses in which students feel they have to agree with the professor's political or social views in order to get a good grade"--29% agreed.
An interesting perspective on the UN
David Kopel has an interesting take on why the UN scandal deserves more newscoverage:
Suppose that a big corporation headquartered in New York City were the center of the largest embezzlement scheme in world history ($21 billion), which enriched big oil companies, foreign dictators, terrorists, and its own employees. Further, suppose that the corporation's own union had declared its lack of confidence in the corporation's management, because of endemic corruption, and because of senior management's lax attitude towards sexual abuse, including coercive sex with underage girls.
Also suppose that the son of the company president was getting paid by another business that profited from the embezzlement scheme, and the company president had claimed that his son's affiliation ended in 1999, but actually the son continued with the business until 2004. And suppose that the company president and his staff were obstructing government investigations into their own corruption. Oh, and let's also suppose that the corporate president and his underlings had attempted to influence the recent U.S. presidential election.

HOW 'SOUL MAKOSSA' MADE MANU DIBANGO A CLUB AND POP LEGEND (MIXMAG)
The 1972 track was a favorite at David Mancuso's Loft and sampled by the pop giants like Michael Jackson and Rihanna
Saxophonist Manu Dibango, who died on March 25 of COVID-19, was an early champion of African sounds in Europe and worldwide, long before the notion of so-called "World music" ever existed. Although his big breakthrough as a solo artist came in 1972 with the breakout hit 'Soul Makossa', he had already been playing for 20 years in Africa, Belgium, and France.
Born on December 12 in 1933 in Douala, Cameroon's wealthiest city, to a civil servant and fashion designer, Dibango was a multi-instrumentalist, best known for saxophone but adept on vibraphone and piano, too. In the 1950s, he joined the ever-evolving Congolese band African Jazz whose travels eventually took them to Paris, where he swiftly became part of a fertile '60s musical scene. He recorded for the L'African Team De Paris, which emerged from the ashes of African Jazz, The Guerrillas, which included Slim Pezin – who later played guitar on scores of disco hits – as well as his own solo material.

But it was 'Soul Makossa' that made his name. Originally recorded as a B-side to 'Hymne de la 8e Coupe d'Afrique des Nations', a jaunty paean to the African Nations Cup which was staged in Cameroon that year, it was re-released on the Fiesta label, and by a happy accident discovered in New York.
"One of the most spectacular discotheque records in recent months is a perfect example of the genre: Manu Dibango's 'Soul Makossa'," wrote Vince Aletti for Rolling Stone in 1973, the first-ever piece published on the disco phenomenon. "Originally a French pressing on the Fiesta label, the 45 was being distributed by an African import company in Brooklyn when a friend brought it to the attention of DJ Frankie Crocker. Crocker broke it on the air on New York's WBLS-FM, a black station highly attuned to the disco sound, but the record was made in discotheques where its hypnotic beat and mysterious African vocals drove people crazy."
The 'friend' was David Mancuso, host and DJ at the Loft in SoHo in Manhattan. Mancuso had discovered the 45 in a small Jamaican store across the East River. He'd hipped other DJs to this record and the frenzy was instant, with the limited amount of copies passing for vastly inflated prices. Frankie 'The Chief Rocker' Crocker brought it from the clubs to radio and demand skyrocketed. It was eventually licensed to Ahmet Ertugun's Atlantic Records for US release, but the gap between its discovery and domestic release allowed several record companies to capitalize and release cover versions of the song, the best of which was African percussionist Babatunde Olatunji's.

The US release made the Billboard Hot 100, eventually peaking at 35, with scarcely any radio play. The success of 'Soul Makossa', coupled with other club hits like 'Love's Theme' by the Love Unlimited Orchestra, caused a revolution in recording industry promotion, which had previously entirely relied on radio airplay, with the birth of club promotions departments.
The song itself has become one of the most well-worn tropes in modern popular music, its memorable chant being re-heated and interpolated countless times (not counting the scores of cover versions), from 70s sex comedy theme 'Sesso Matto' by Armando Trovajoli to Michael Jackson's 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'' and subsequently 'Don't Stop The Music' by Rihanna. In 2009 Dibango filed a lawsuit against the two pop giants. Jackson had previously admitted to using the hook without permission and settled out of court, but the King of Pop again failed to seek Dibango's permission when Rihanna came knocking for the vocal chant in 2007. The court case failed in light of Dibango already successfully applying for a writers' credit on Rihanna's hit in 2008, with the court deciding this ruled him out of any further claims on the track.

As a sample source, he's been almost as fertile a source as James Brown, with 'Soul Makossa' drafted in for everyone from early rappers Poor Righteous Teachers' wholesale lift on 'Butt Naked Booty Bless', to J'Lo's 'Feelin' So Good', and even Bristol's Addison Groove reworking it devastatingly a couple of years ago on 'Changa'. Elsewhere, The Chemical Brothers made judicious use of 'Ceddo' on 'Battle Scars', while 'New Bell', a big club record during the rare groove period in 80s London, was lifted for Busta Rhymes' 'Keepin' It Tight'.
Dibango was far from a one-trick pony. Over a long and varied career, he worked with African luminaries such as Youssou N'Dour, Salif Keita and juju giant King Sunny Ade, recorded over 50 albums during his seven decades as an active musician, and dabbled in everything from rumba and disco to electro and shone at most. His underrated 1981 album, 'Piano Solo', showed just how effortlessly versatile a musician he was, with not a saxophone in sight.
He leaves three children and a vast and fathoms-deep catalog of incredible music.

NEW YORK—Sotheby's is asking the U.S. District Court in New York to determine who owns a 16th-century volume of drawings and engravings that was consigned by Rod Shene, a St. Louis, Mo., book dealer, but claimed by the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart. Negotiations between Shene and the German government collapsed in acrimony over the value of the (Augsburg Book of Nobles).
Sotheby's has estimated the value of the volume at $600,000. The German museum and the German Consulate in New York believe the value is significantly lower but claim they cannot attempt to reach a settlement without an independent appraisal of the book.
The volume, which bears the stamps of the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, was among the cultural objects evacuated from the German State of Baden-Württemberg for safekeeping during World War II. Shene's attorney John Cahill, of Friedman Kaplan Seiler & Adelman in Manhattan, said the dealer had bought the book in good faith at a private auction in 2001, and that the German museum had made no effort to locate the book before Shene tried to sell it.
The object was believed to have been destroyed during the war, according to Hubert Kolb, the cultural attaché at the German Consulate. Kolb now thinks the book was stolen by an unidentified American soldier, whose widow later arranged for the book's sale. Kolb said that last year the German government offered to reimburse Shene for the purchase price of the book.
The book includes 53 iron etchings and 43 drawings that are associated with Heinrich Vogtherr the Elder and Hans Burgkmair the Younger.


Where the name comes from: The Labrador Peninsula in Canada where it was first found in 1770.
Colors: Blue, grey, black, white or colorless though frequently with a rich internal play of colors.
...and another thing: The play of spectral colors within the mineral is known as Labradorescence.

Ігор Стрєлков (;  6 серпня 1983, Тольятті, СРСР) — російський футболіст, нападник. Майстер спорту Росії.

Клубна кар'єра
Вихованець футбольної школи тольяттинскої «Лади», в якій займався з 9-ти років. Там же розпочав і професійну кар'єру в 1998 році, виступав за «Ладу» до 2000 року, провівши за цей час понад 25 матчів в лізі, в яких забив понад 6 м'ячів, і 5 матчів у Кубку Росії, в яких забив 1 м'яч.

У листопаді 2000 року підписав 5-річний контракт з донецьким «Шахтарем», в складі якого дебютував в 2001 році в матчі проти «Кривбасу», усього в тому сезоні зіграв 4 матчі, в яких забив 1 гол і став, разом з командою, віце-чемпіоном України. Однак, в основному складі так і не закріпився, якийсь час виступав за фарм-клуб «гірників», а в серпні 2002 року перейшов на правах оренди в рідну «Ладу», за яку зіграв у тому році 13 матчів в лізі і забив 1 гол у Кубку.

З 2003 по 2004 рік виступав у складі махачкалінській «Анжі», за який зіграв 54 матчі в лізі, в яких забив 10 м'ячів, і 3 матчі в Кубку, після чого, в 2005 році, знову повернувся в «Ладу», де й відіграв сезон, провівши 34 матчі в лізі, в яких забив 22 м'ячі, і 2 матчі у Кубку Росії.

У 2006 році перейшов у «Кубань», за яку провів в тому сезоні 36 матчів, забив 12 м'ячів і став разом з командою срібним призером Першого дивізіону Росії, завоювавши право грати на майбутній рік у Вищому дивізіоні. У 2007 році зіграв за «Кубань» 7 матчів у Прем'єр-лізі і 4 матчі за дублюючий склад, після чого в липні перейшов у владивостокський клуб «Промінь-Енергія», з яким підписав трирічний контракт. У складі «Луча» дебютував 28 липня в матчі проти московського «Спартака», а першим голом відзначився 11 серпня у воротах санкт-петербурзького «Зеніту». Усього за «Луч» зіграв 13 матчів, в яких забив 5 м'ячів. Взимку у Стрєлкова відбувся конфлікт з керівництвом «Променя», і в результаті він перейшов до Томська, де й розпочав сезон 2008 року в місцевій «Томі», з якою уклав трирічний контракт. У складі «Томі» дебютував 16 березня в матчі проти московського «Динамо», а 3 травня вперше відзначився, забивши відразу 2 м'ячі в ворота «Терека». Усього за «Том» зіграв 10 матчів у лізі, в яких забив 3 м'ячі, і 1 матч у Кубку, після чого 16 червня був відзаявлений, і в тому ж місяці підписав трирічний контракт з клубом «Москва». 13 липня дебютував у складі нової команди, усього до кінця сезону провів 11 матчів за основний склад «Москви» і 2 матчі за молодіжний, а також, окрім цього, зіграв у 3-ох поєдинках і забив 1 м'яч у матчах попереднього етапу Кубку УЄФА.

26 листопада 2009 року Стрєлкову присвоєно звання Майстер спорту Росії. Після розформування «Москви» напередодні чемпіонату-2010 на правах вільного агента перейшов у самарські «Крила Рад».

14 квітня 2010 року потрапив на таксі в ДТП, отримав перелом лицьової кістки, наступного дня був успішно прооперований. Тренування з основним складом відновив 10 червня 2010 року.

Наприкінці липня 2010 року на правах оренди до кінця сезону перейшов у «Анжі». Після повернення оренди тренерський штаб «Крил Рад» і футболіст 23 січня 2011 року досягли домовленості про розірвання контракту. 13 липня 2011 року повернувся до «Луча-Енергії».

DURBAN – South Africa's largest general insurer, Santam, will join other JSE-listed heavyweights by taking up a secondary listing on the A2X Markets exchange, effective February 1.
Since A2X began trading on October 2017, it has already attracted big companies like Naspers, Sanlam, Standard Bank Group, African Rainbow Minerals, AVI, Ascendis Health and others that have taken an opportunity to list on the exchange.
Santam said on Friday that it would retain its listings on the JSE and the Namibian Stock Exchange and its issued share capital would be unaffected by the listing on A2X. "There is no cost, risk or additional regulatory compliance for Santam as a result of its A2X listing," the group said.
Santam chief executive Lizé Lambrechts said they were continually looking for new ways to add benefit to their clients and shareholders in explaining the decision behind the secondary listing.
"We see this additional listing as an opportunity to attract potential new investors. More importantly, we are pleased to be complementing our existing listings on the JSE and Namibian Stock Exchange with a listing on A2X," Lambrechts said.
Santam, with the market capitalisation of more than R35billion, saw its share price gaining 1.8 percent to R306 a share on the JSE after it announced the secondary listing.
The group has a long history as an insurer in South Africa and listed on the JSE in 1964.
It has evolved in the last 100 years and now has insurance businesses in South Africa and Namibia, as well as investments in insurance companies, held in conjunction with Sanlam Emerging Markets, in more than 30 countries.
A2X chief executive Kevin Brady said the trading options for Santam's investors were being extended with a listing on A2X. "We are delighted to be welcoming Santam to A2X and look forward to demonstrating the benefits that a listing on our platform will bring to its shareholders," Brady said.

New Delhi: The Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA) Monday alleged that the aviation regulator DGCA was creating a consultant's post only to accommodate one of its recently retired joint directors in the organisation. The ICPA -- the union of Air India pilots who operate narrow-body planes -- has also alleged that the person concerned has been named in an FIR as an accused.
In a letter to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the grouping has also requested for either withdrawal of the vacancy notice or make the terms for recruitment more "equitable".
"We can only comment once date for application is over," DGCA chief B S Bhullar told when asked about the letter.
In the letter, the ICPA said it was recently made aware of the subject call for applications to fill the vacancy of a consultant on purely contract basis in the DGCA.
Upon perusal of the subject notice, it is "evident" that the eligibility conditions mentioned in the subject call for applications is "tailor-made" for the person concerned, it added.
"It is also incumbent upon any government organisation to ensure a fair and equitable chance for any person to apply for a vacancy," the grouping said.
