The portal was initiated by three promoters mainly to cater to the niche wildlife tourism segment in August 2010. With an initial funding of Rs 5 crore from Angel Investors, it commenced commercial operation in January this year. (Business Standard)

I'm excited to announce that a completely updated and expanded edition of Vegan for Life is headed into the world. Its pub date is May 12, 2020 and it's available for pre-order now.
My co-author Jack Norris and I have added lots of new material to the book – a brand new and much simplified food guide, a chapter on eating to manage intestinal issues, and a compassionate guide to addressing body size issues within a vegan ethic. All the nutrition information is updated as are the guidelines for eating to reduce risk for chronic disease. We've added lots of information to help people go vegan and stay vegan.
Our goals for this book are the same as they were when we wrote the first edition nearly ten years ago. We wanted to create something that was both definitive and accessible. We wanted the information to be science-based, encouraging, and practical. We wanted readers to have the tools and knowledge they need to make a vegan diet work for them for the long term. (That means knowing how to make ... Read More >

David Sedaris POSTPONED-DATE TBD
Select Dates
February 2011
Go to previous month
Go to next month
Due to the recent large gatherings mandate by Governor Eric J. Holcomb, shows at the Morris Performing Arts Center have been impacted, and the original April 20 performance of David Sedaris has been changed.
If you have already purchased a ticket, your current ticket will be fine for the next show—no need to exchange. If you are unable to attend a rescheduled date, you will be able to request a refund.
Join best-selling author and NPR contributor, David Sedaris for an evening featuring all-new stories, an audience Q&A, and a book signing. With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, Mr. Sedaris has become one of America's pre-eminent humor writers. The great skill with which he slices through cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves that Sedaris is a master of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today. David Sedaris returns to the road following the release of his most deeply personal and darkly hilarious collection, Calypso. Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation toward middle age and mortality. Make no mistake: these stories are very, very funny-it's a book that can make you laugh 'til you snort, the way only family can. Sedaris's powers of observation have never been sharper, and his ability to shock readers into laughter unparalleled. But much of the comedy here is born out of that vertiginous moment when your own body betrays you and you realize that the story of your life is made up of more past than future. If you love David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting into at his live readings. You'd be wrong. To see him read his own work on stage allows his autobiographical narrative to reveal a uniquely personal narrative that will keep you laughing throughout the evening. Don't miss this event!

Model UN Conference
Oakland University Model United Nations Club and the Oakland University Department of Political Science are delighted to host the Fifth Annual Oakland University High School Model United Nations Conference March 27th-28th 2020. The conference will be held on OU's campus in Auburn Hills.
This conference builds upon the success of our past conferences. It will provide an enjoyable, high-quality learning experience, featuring several simulated General Assembly (GA) committees, a Joint Crisis, and a contemporary Security Council. GA committees will have a maximum of 50 delegates – enough to generate intense debate but small enough that all delegates will have ample opportunity to speak and participate. We will also offer a Security Council and joint crisis on Saudi-Iranian tensions in and around the Persian Gulf. Delegates will also have the chance to tour campus and meet with faculty and OU students. We will provide dinner and lunch to delegates on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon, and close the conference late Saturday afternoon.
Registration is open, and is $65 per delegate. We did fill last year, so we could encourage those interested to send in a registration form to hold their slots as soon as possible.
If you have questions about our conference, please contact us at email@example.com or call Professor Paul Kubicek at (248) 370 2363
Oakland University's highest priority in providing exemplary academic, athletic and social programs for youth is protecting the health, safety and welfare of all participants. Please see oakland.edu/youth for detailed information.
Oakland University Model UN Club was founded in 2008. It is open to all OU students. Model UN is run both as a student organization and as a class, Political Science 3605. Each semester, we attend collegiate MUN conferences, typically the Lake Erie International Model UN (LEIMUN) in the fall and the North American Model United Nations (NAMUN) in Toronto in the winter, and sponsor events on campus to discuss and debate international issues.
OU students have won dozens of individual awards, and several team awards, including being named Best Delegation at LEIMUN (seven times) and at NAMUN (twice). In April 2017, OUMUN students won awards at the NYU MUN in New York. and in October 2020 OU students won awards at the Model G20 Summit at American University in Washington.
For 2019-2020, club officers are:
Emily Zwicker, President
Courtney Smith, Vice-President
Christina Walker, Secretary
Hunter Willis, Treasurer
Our faculty adviser is Professor Paul Kubicek (email@example.com)
- Security Council 2020: 1. Libya 2. Venezuela 3. India-Pakistan
- UN Legal Committee 1. Immunity of state officials from foreign criminal jurisdiction 2. Protection of the environment and cultural artifacts in relation to armed conflicts
- Social and Humanitarian Committee (SOCHUM) ("Novice" committee) 1. Women's Rights 2. The refugee crisis in South Sudan
- United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) 1. Climate Change Displacement 2. Efficient use of Natural Resources
- Commission on the Status of Women 1. Update on Women's Rights in light of 25 years since the Beijing Conference (This will be a report-writing committee--details will be in the background guide)
- Joint Crisis Team A: Saudi Arabia and Allies Team B: Iran and Allies (Roles will be specific individuals, not country-delegates)
Background guides are available under the Research Tab
We expect each delegate to prepare for the conference. He or she should be knowledgeable about the committee, the rules of procedure, the general stance of his/her country, and the issues being discussed. Students should be aware of previous resolutions or recommendations germane to the topic before the committee, as well as current discussions of the issue at the United Nations and other international institutions. One of the goals of the conference is to replicate real-life debates, and preparation is essential for informed discussion.
The following background guides are essential in preparation for the conference. The SC, Joint Crisis, and Beijing Conference all have some special rules. Please familiarize yourself with these documents, but be advised that they should be only the start of your research.
Security Council Background Guide
Beijing Conference (CSW) Background Guide
Legal Committee Background Guide
The best source of information for research is to consult UN documents and debates, available through the United Nations main portal at www.un.org and through the individual pages of UN committees. News reports and scholarly articles can also be helpful. Some countries maintain web pages for their UN delegations and may also have ministries or departments with useful information.
The United Nations Association has a variety of resources that may be useful to both delegates and faculty advisers. These include tips on research as well as overviews of how committee sessions are typically structured. We have also found resources at Best Delegate to be helpful.
Delegates will be expected to send us a 2 page, single-spaced position paper (including references) by March 20, 2020. These should be be emailed (with the subject line of your committee and country) to email@example.com. Please be mindful of our guidelines for position papers. (Note Beijing Conference papers can be up to 3 pages) Sample position papers from past years can be found here (SC Paper) and here (UNEP Paper). Delegates that fail to send in a position paper will be ineligible for any OUMUN award, and we will also have a separate Best Position Paper award.
Registration is open and is nearly 90% full as of early December. We did fill up last year and had to turn a couple of schools away, so we urge everyone to register early.
The cost per delegate is $65. This includes dinner on Friday, lunch on Saturday, and a T-shirt, as well as all conference materials. There is no separate school fee.
Schools wishing to register should first fill out our Registration Form to supply us with some necessary information. You may either send it to e-mail address (firstname.lastname@example.com) or fax it to 248 370 4299. Once we receive your registration, we can send you an invoice for payment.
Payment can be made either by conventional check mailed to us at:
OU Model UN Conference, Department of Political Science, 371 Varner Drive, Oakland University, Rochester MI 48309
You may also pay on-line with a credit card or bank transfer through the OU Marketplace system. available here.
For your reference, here is a checklist of dates/to-do items for advisers and students.
Prior to the conference, we will ask for the names of your delegates for the credentials as well as T-shirt sizes. Please also note that all high school students MUST turn in a waiver form to participate in OUMUN. The Waiver Form can be mailed in advance or returned at the time of check-in on the first day of the conference. In addition, delegates are expected to adhere to our Code of Conduct.
OUMUN will be on Oakland's main campus in Auburn Hills. This year opening and closing ceremonies will be in Dodge Hall 201, sessions will be in classrooms in the Engineering Center (EC) and Elliott Hall (EH), and lunch on Saturday will be in the recently opened Hillcrest Hall. A useful map of campus can be found here. We recommend trying to park in lots P36, P34 or P32 (on the south side of campus, just south of the main buildings we will be using). Please note that classes will be in session on Friday PM, so parking close to the buildings may be difficult.
For those planning to spend the night on Friday, we are working with nearby hotels to offer a discounted rate. The closest hotel to campus is the Extended Stay America on University Drive.
The draft schedule for the conference (final schedule will be in the program) is as follows:
Friday March 27 2020
Registration and Optional OUMUN Rules Orientation 2:15 PM-3:00 PM
Opening Ceremonies 3:00 PM-3:45 PM
Session IA 4 PM-6PM
Dinner 6PM-7 PM
Session IB 7-9 PM
Saturday March 28 2020
Head Delegate Meeting 815 AM- 9AM
Session II 9 AM-12 PM
Faculty Adviser Meeting 10 AM-11 AM
Lunch 12 PM-2 PM in Hillcrest Hall
Session III 2 PM-530 PM
Closing Ceremonies 6 PM-7 PM
We will supply details about room assignments for committees in the conference program.
All delegates should familiarize themselves with the Rule of Procedure, which vary a bit from conference to conference. A few special provisions also apply to the Security Council, the Joint Crisis Committee, and the Beijing Conference. These special features are included in the background guide. It is imperative that delegates know the rules of procedure. Prior to opening ceremonies, we will have an optional orientation session for delegates who wish to receive more information on Model UN and OUMUN rules.
To assist you in preparation, we have prepared a quiz on OUMUN Rules. (We also have answers). These can be used as a primer to see how well you really know the rules. The rules will be included in our conference program/handbook, so you will always have them for your reference, but knowing at the least the basics in advance of the conference will serve you well.
Delegates should also know how to craft resolutions. Prior to their formal introduction, draft resolutions must be properly formatted and have the requisite number of signatories (see the rules for more on this). Formatting should follow this sample resolution. This list of phrases for preambulatory and operative clauses may also assist you. A good resolution will provide some background on the problem and clearly state what the UN and member states will do to address the issue.
OU Model UN will offer both individual and team awards. To be eligible for an award, a delegate must submit, via e-mail, a 2 page position paper prior to the conference (see more under Research tab).
Awards will be based upon demonstrated knowledge of the issues, portrayal of country, knowledge of and use of rules and procedures, and level of activity in debate and caucusing.

Gasification describes the process by which material is converted into a synthetic gas (and ash) in a low oxygen environment. The process is similar to that used for making town gas from coal. The gas is then combusted and the heat generated used in a boiler to raise steam for a turbine, where electricity is generated. In addition, heat is generated which can be supplied for use.
Most gasification processes require residual waste to undergo some degree of pre-treatment before it can be processed. > RDF/SRF
How it works
Waste is heated with insufficient oxygen to minimise combustion. This causes decomposition of the waste and production of thermal decomposition gases, sometimes called a "syngas". The syngas produced is then combusted to generate heat and to produce electricity. It is important to differentiate between 'true gasification' (where the syngas produced is cleaned and fed to a higher efficiency thermodynamic process) and 'staged combustion' (where the syngas is subsequently combusted in a steam boiler within the same installation). Some gasification plants have been developed to burn the gas in a gas engine in place of a boiler and steam turbine. Other concepts include the use of gas in gas turbines or supply to gas grid networks, but these are currently not well proven as commercial applications.
Gasification technology has been used for over 100 years, and was the basis of town gasworks using coal before their replacement by North Sea gas. It has been applied to various waste streams for some decades, mainly well-defined industrial wastes. Its application to mixed wastes, such as municipal waste, is more recent, although several commercial scale plants have been constructed in the last 20 years. It is significantly less common at a commercial scale than combustion EfW.
Key Fact
Gasification processes seek to separate the various stages that also occur in the more common single stage combustion EfW process. When combined with combustion of the gas generated, the energy from the waste can be recovered.

Many goals are hard to reach. You have to stay on track and struggle to get there. Something more important may come up like a medical problem and your goal may not seem important anymore. You might need to use every self hypnosis tool you have to stay on track. Make a list of the costs of giving up and think of them when you are struggling to stay on track.
While in Hypnosis we try to keep it positive however I believe that knowing the costs of giving up or not making it are important to stop whatever is blocking our success. For example you want to eat cookies and you bring into your awareness the costs of eating those cookies and then the benefits of losing weight doing this will help you resist eating the cookies.
Many people give up a bad habit when the costs get too high and they have had enough of it. Many times health issues factors into this for example smoking. Make a list of all the costs of giving up or failing to reach your goal. SIMPLE yet very motivating. Read them, say them, visualize them. Nothing better to get you going again. For bad habits say them often especially before doing the bad habit.
EXAMPLE – Quit Smoking
Wow! Take a few minutes to list the benefits of reaching your goal. Which benefit excites you the most? Here is an example for Weight Loss.
EXAMPLE – Weight Loss
EXERCISE When you have desires to give up or for example eat cookies think of the costs of eating those cookies and the benefits of losing weight.
I hope this helps you.

DJ Mag 25th Birthday – Thursday 30th June 2016
After 25 years of success in the Music Industry, DJ Mag celebrated their Birthday this year at the infamous Space Ibiza, and what a party it was!..
I was a bit apprehensive as I arrived at the club on my own, but it wasn't long before I was greeted by fellow clubbers in the same position, who where there for a good time also. There was a warm feeling to the dance floor and the sense of community among people was electric. Something the dance scene seems to be lacking nowadays . . (You know what I mean that sense of togetherness as if we share a moment in time with each other, and the music.)
The night was filled with a nice mix of music from the sunset terrace blast of piano house playing a spicy rendition of Felix "Don't You Want My Love" to the high octane tecky vibes that rolled through from the La Terraza. DJs on the night included Weiss, Blackhall & Bookless, Anja Schneider. Derrick May, James Zabiela and of course the DJ Mag All Stars, who certainly lived up to their all star name.
In the sunset terrace the famous planes passed overhead as partiers grooved along to some deep melodic beats, something that no other club on the island can offer, which makes it more bitter that Space will be closing its disco doors this October. It is sad to see such a big part of club culture end its legacy but I'm forever grateful to be part of it.
The energy on the night was amazing and the girl DJs seemed to be giving the guys a run for their money playing strong sets that seemed to bring people on a journey rather than merely bashing any two tracks together. The music was well thought out and I was especially taken by Anja Schneider's techno set, which seems flawless to say the least.
The crowd seemed well educated as they whistled and whomped as each track was dropped, hands were flung in the air and the dance floor was filled with smiles and tapping toes.
Overall, it was evident from the night that each DJ played a special part in the celebration of DJ Mag's Birthday extravaganza! From the music to the vibes I truly enjoyed myself, from start to finish, and heard some tracks that I will now spend my days trying to find the name of. The art of a true DJ is to always leave the dancefloor guessing and Space on Thursday night did just that.

In the heat of the campaigning for the Republican Primaries, Sandra Fluke, a law student at Georgetown, a well-respected Catholic university in Washington DC, applied to make a submission to the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The committee had convened to discuss whether or not to amend the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which would allow employers to opt out of providing insurance coverage for contraception on religious grounds – in other words, regardless of an employee's religious belief, their employer can mandate whether or not their insurance will cover access to contraception. In a country where the costs of medicines are largely covered by private insurance arrangements, such an amendment could leave the contraceptive choices of hundreds of thousands of women in the United States to the whims of their employers.

Hello and welcome to PJT, breaking you in to the working week every Monday with news of the movers and shakers in the industry.
Please keep us up to date with your staff and recruitment news by emailing us at email@example.com.
First off this week we call in at Salisbury where property consultancy Myddelton & Major has appointed three new partners.
Sarah Cull (right), Tim Haine (below left) and Rachael Wythe (below right) have all been promoted at the long established independent firm of chartered surveyors.
The firm's senior partner Philip Holford says: "At Myddelton & Major we pride ourselves on the quality of the people we hire and I can truthfully say that these three are exceptional employees – professional, efficient and personable."
Salisbury born and bred Sarah, partner in residential sales, joined the firm in 1999 and says: "I still get a complete buzz from achieving sales and helping clients through the sales process in what can be a particularly stressful time – and guiding them to a successful conclusion."
Tim, a partner in commercial, joined in 2015 after a decade working in Southampton, and adds: "I'll continue to build and maintain strong and effective relationships with clients, tenants and suppliers while striving to achieve positive outcomes for all."
Rachael, also a partner and MRICS surveyor, began with Myddelton & Major in 2014 after working for national firms in Manchester and London and has over a decade's agency experience. She says: "I appreciate the opportunity to serve the firm in the best possible way by utilising my skills for the benefit of our loyal client base."
Meanwhile it's an individual and a corporate success over at Belvoir, where the franchise agency's Central Office Apprenticeship Scheme continues to be highly successful.
Accounting apprentice Adam Egner has won Accounting Apprentice of the Year at Grantham College & University Centre, with Belvoir also winning Employer of the Year in recognition of the support and mentoring the company offers apprentices.
Finance director Louise George, who accepted the Employer of the Year Award on behalf of Belvoir, says: "I would like to congratulate Adam on his success. He does a fantastic job and always strives to achieve a very high standard in all of his work."
Adam is looking forward to studying for his level 4 qualifications in September, and adds: "It was a very pleasant surprise to win the award. I always went to college with the mindset of gaining my professional qualifications to the highest possible score, so for my efforts to be recognised like this is great."
Now on to PropTech and a familiar national name - Mark Witherspoon - has become a non-exec director of REalyse, a real estate data platform.
A former chief executive at Hometrack and UKValuation, Mark most recently held the position of the data services director at Zoopla for over nine years.
Incorporated in 2015, REalyse closed is Series A fund raise in January 2019. Since then, the company has moved into its new headquarters in Bank, London and signed several landmark clients.
"I have been watching REalyse develop and grow over the years as an upcoming business and it was only natural that we would be working together to develop the strategy further" explains Mark.
More PropTech, and indeed more ex-Zoopla personnel, in this news from agency software company Loop.
It's appointed Chris Lambrianou as a sales manager covering the south west and the Midlands. He previously worked as a business development manager at Zoopla and has experience of working with hundreds of estate agents.
Loop describes itself as a next generation property platform that combines agency software with data insights.
Finally this week, it's a goodbye to Ian Wilson, who leaves the leadership of The Property Franchise Group at the end of next year after 16 years.
In a statement to shareholders he says: "After many fruitful years at the helm of Martin & Co and then The Property Franchise Group, I have made the board aware of my intention to retire at the end of next year. I have seen the company through its IPO and its successful years since.
"Throughout this time the business has shown the strength of its franchise model, the quality of its board and management team, and the resolve and determination to succeed of its franchisees. I look forward to continuing to ensure that the business is well positioned to flourish for many years to come."
Good look to Ian from everyone at EAT and LAT.
So that's it for this week. Enjoy the next seven days of summer and we'll see you next Monday. Until then…

We are pleased to announce that our special disrupted issue of the Journal of Media Practice, 'The disrupted Journal of Media Practice' has now been officially published.
Conceptualised, edited and performed collectively by Coventry University's Centre for Disruptive Media (CDM)–which is now the Centre for Postdigital Cultures–and the Disruptive Media Learning Lab (DMLL), this special issue experiments with how media practice, in rethinking research as practice, can also disrupt the way we mediate this research through various formal and informal scholarly forms (including the academic journal).
You can find the full designed postprint version here: https://pureportal.coventry.ac.uk/en/publications/the-disrupted-journal-of-media-pratice
And our journal platform with the in-process versions and conversations around them here: http://journal.disruptivemedia.org.uk/
With this hybrid (online and print) open access issue, we want to explore the potential disruptive nature of media practice publishing, as a positive force beyond the safe and pleasant ground of the print-on-paper article. This issue has therefore been structured around a selection of conversations on our custom-designed platform (as well as on participants' own websites and servers or on external multimedia platforms) which emphasise the evolving and collaborative nature of research. The articles around which these conversations are centred are multimodal, text-based or hybrid; articles, blog posts or podcasts. The conversations openly evolved (from 'drafts' to 'final versions' and beyond) incorporating peer commentary (via hypothes.is) and (blog) reviews from invited media practitioners and the audience at large.
For the print version of this special issue we have focused on 3 conversations in specific, these are:
- Debating Media Practice Publishing. What could a journal of media practice be in a digital environment? What can we learn from best practices?
- Performative Publishing. How do the media we use perform their content and vice versa? How we can bring together and align more closely the material form of a publication with its content? What is the agency of our media, and how are we entangled with the media we use?
- Practice-Based Methodologies. What methods are most suited to creative practice as research? How can we more closely align practice as research through methodology? How can we explore criticality with or via different media forms?
After the informal and communal feedback and review mechanism that the conversations via the hypothes.is plugin provided to the in-progress content on the platform, we arranged a formal open peer review process for those submissions of which their authors felt they were ready to be published. Submissions that were accepted after this formal open peer review process were included in both the print version and the accompanying online version of JMP available on the Taylor & Francis (T&F) website.
Next to the version of this special issue that is available on the platform, and which includes various submissions, from peer-reviewed to non-peer reviewed, from completed to in-progress and meta-projects, which can all still be updated, changed, extended, enhanced and commented upon, we also led the creative direction for a custom-designed online PDF version available on our website and available in open access, and a fixed version of record, both in print and in a hyperlinked PDF, available on the T&F website. Designed in collaboration with Mark Murphy of Surely Design and our authors, we have attempted to creatively respond to the specific affordances of their projects. In this sense, each contributor was asked to think about how they would like to see their contributions translated in a print environment, whilst at the same time wanting to stretch the specific print practices that we have come to use for an academic journal.
For us this special issue encompasses all these online and offline versions and with this focus on the processual nature of research we wanted to challenge the focus on the publication as a fixed and finalized object and commodity, which, especially in the context of practice-based research, does not necessarily reflect the research process. With this experiment in editing, curating, designing and community-building, we aimed to create an environment which supported and stimulated the various forms in which media practice can be published, whilst developing both the platform, the content and projects, and the various versions of this special issue together in a collaborative and creative environment.

Sir, In my opinion there is no finer semi - auto firearm in the world as a GLOCK> I have 3 a 19,a 27 and a22 w/ nite sites and laser.Hopefully membership to this thread will grow ! The Weirqat in Tx.............
Please check your spelling. For those of us who own a ?
Please check your spelling. For those of us who own a Clock
Bruce, I am also a Glock owner and have a question. I have heard that a Glock in any size over 9mm may have problems due to the higher pressures. I have several Glocks in 9mm but have been considering a 40 or 45 Glock for my next carry gun. Any comments?
I really prefer Glocks to anything else for daily carry. I just feel that I can depend on a Glock to come thru and I also think it will stand up to the sweat and moisture from daily carry. Have been carrying my Glocks in 9mm for about a year now.

Giving You a Choice
Howard Look at the 2015 Quantified Self Public Health Symposium
"Advocate for yourself. You should get to choose who you share your data with, who gets to see it, and if you want to donate it to research."
Howard Look is the founder and CEO of Tidepool.org, a non-profit open source effort to build better software for diabetes. He became a leading advocate for access after his daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2011. Like many parents of children with diabetes, Howard went from knowing almost nothing about the disease to having to help manage it every day. Diabetes, he came to realize, had a serious data problem. Most of this crucial, life-saving data was locked on devices that wouldn't let patients effectively use it. In this talk, Howard describes the role of Tidepool and the larger challenge of opening up diabetes data.
Howard and Tidepool.org were recently recognized as a White House Champion of Change. You can find out more and read Howard's excellent blog post here:

Flamboyant Teesside fashion guru Scott Henshall, left, set about tempting his jungle mates with the offer of a cosy double bunk.
But the I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! contestant was rocked by their replies. One by one, they turned him down - until Tony Blair's sister-in-law Lauren Booth accepted.
But not before she asked: "Scott, do you fart or snore?"
The 30-year-old Hartlepool designer-to-the-stars proved he's made of stern northern stuff on the first day of the ITV reality show. After completing the first task, Scott crossed the bridge to become the first celebrity to enter the tree house. That gave him the right to sleep undercover - and choose someone to share the experience. But the tree house rocking put most off.

Europe pledged to keep afloat its efforts to aid Iran after the U.S. tightened the screw by targeting all exports of Iranian oil for sanctions.
The French government and the European Union both said they will abide by the terms of the Iran nuclear accord with world powers even after the latest U.S. move. France and its European partners intend to continue efforts to ensure that Iran derives economic benefits as long as Tehran complies with its nuclear obligations, the Foreign Ministry in Paris said.
U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said Monday that the U.S. wouldn't renew waivers granted to eight countries including South Korea, Japan and Turkey that allowed them to buy Iranian oil without facing sanctions. The non-renewal of waivers that were due to expire on May 2 roiled energy markets and risks upsetting major importers including China and India.
Europe's insistence on standing by the Iran nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA, risks further inflaming tensions with the Trump administration as it seeks to force Tehran to renegotiate the terms of the accord to include Iran's non-nuclear ballistic missiles and influence in the wider Middle East.
"We regret yesterday's announcement by the U.S. not to renew oil waivers," European Commission spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic told reporters in Brussels. "This further risks undermining the implementation of the JCPOA, which is a key element of the global nuclear non-proliferation architecture that was endorsed unanimously by the UN security council."
Trade Spillover
European leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel may have concerns at potential fallout for EU-U.S. trade talks aimed at averting more tit-for-tat tariffs, since President Donald Trump has previously shown willingness to conflate disparate policy matters in a bid to achieve his goals.
Germany, France and the U.K. have already created a special purpose vehicle for trade with Iran designed to get around U.S. sanctions. Work on the INSTEX mechanism to facilitate financial transactions for European companies trading with Iran is "progressing positively with a view to a near completion," the French ministry said.
Iran should continue work on its mirror mechanism, the ministry said. Exchanges between the two sides are underway to ensure that both structures "operate in a manner consistent with international financial standards," it said.
France said it is "determined" to persevere with the nuclear deal, while Kocijancic at the commission said the EU will abide by the accord "as long as Iran continues with the full and effective implementation of its nuclear-related commitments."

Scuba diving season has started!
We have had 3 successful dives at Babbacombe, these took place on the 5th, 19th and 26th of May. You might think why dive at the same place 3 weeks in a row but as Forrest Gump would say 'Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get'. No two dives are ever the same and there is always something new to discover.
The visibility improved week on week from about 1 metre to 4 to 6 metres. Between 4 and 8 members of the club dived on these weekends with both "ocean diver" and "sports diver" lessons being completed. One of our divers struggled on the first dive with the skill of mask clearing; but by the third dive he was punching the air, elated to have mastered this skill in the open water.
Underwater life increased each week as well. Large and small cuttlefish, spider, edible and velvet crabs. One spider crab was camouflaged with algae that made him look blue instead of the normal seaweed, and the way he was positoned on the rock made him look more like a tarantula. Amazing!
Also the group found a pipefish and nudibranchs, a large white one and a small pink one. We also came across a swim through in the bay we had not seen before with its own resident tompot and crawfish.
The scenery was awesome with the different types and colours of the seaweed highlighted by the sun through the water and the small fish swimming in and out of the swaying seaweed. Some beautiful dives to start the season.
