Port Stephens and MidCoast councils The project aims to help HJO councils reduce the impact of the materials they consume by working with suppliers and looking at lower impact alternatives The member councils intend to reduce the need for new materials and look at innovative ways to reuse and reduce their environmental footprint the councils worked together to understand what circular procurement is and the opportunities that exist to reduce material consumption The stage two funding received from the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) will assist councils to implement circular practices in their day-to-day business operations The project will run between August 2024 and March 2026 Chair of the Hunter Joint Organisation and Mayor of Singleton “The combined value for products and services purchased by the ten Hunter JO member councils is in excess of $500 million per year much of which has significant potential to be circularised in some way “That collective buying power has the potential to be used to create local markets for circular products and lower the environmental impacts of material usage by councils in the region “By enabling councils and suppliers to better understand each other’s needs the project aims to identify and address the current barriers to better uptake of circular and sustainable alternatives “These barriers are sometimes difficult to solve but by working collaboratively we can attempt to break down those barriers.” Minister for the Hunter Yasmin Catley said the funding will give councils across the Hunter “more tools and processes to help reduce waste and strengthen our circular economy” Round 3 of the LGWS fund is scheduled to open in September 2024 and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById(

With Newcastle Airport opening its International Terminal next year the sky’s the limit for tourism operators in the region That’s the opinion of the Hunter Joint Organisation (HJO) who released its much-anticipated Hunter Tourism Strategy – and supporting business case – at the Williamtown precinct on Wednesday 12 June which represents 10 Local Government Areas (LGAs) unveiled the NSW Government-funded blueprint in partnership with Newcastle Airport and Destination Sydney Surrounds North They see the advantage of working together to provide more offerings to the jet-setting global tourist “This ambitious plan marks a pivotal moment in our tourism industry outlining how the Hunter can bring substantial economic and cultural benefits to the local community,” HJO chair and Singleton mayor Sue Moore said “It focuses on leveraging the region’s unique attractions breathtaking landscapes and some of Australia’s finest beaches to captivate international guests “Other recommendations include local business grants and mentoring programs and aims to unlock the full potential of our tourism sector “We’re extremely keen for the Hunter to be a globally-connected and economically thriving city-region serving as an international gateway while providing its communities with a vibrant and unique lifestyle.” Hunter Joint Organisation deputy chair and Cessnock City mayor Jay Suvaal said the initiative was about more than just boosting tourism numbers supporting local businesses and creating a sustainable future for the region,” he explained it’ll also catalyse a wave of economic and social benefits that will uplift the entire area.” Destination Sydney Surrounds North general manager Glen Caldwell agreed “By working together across the broader Hunter we can enhance our appeal to international visitors and invite the world to experience the beauty and vibrancy of the region,” he said That was backed up by Newcastle Airport CEO Dr Peter Cock “The launch of the Hunter Tourism Strategy and supporting Business Case is a testament to the commitment to elevating the region’s global presence,” he added “This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for connectivity… and set to unlock significant economic and cultural benefits “This collaborative effort will drive international visitation and enrich the community we aim to showcase the Hunter’s unique attractions and enhance its reputation as a premier destination for international tourists.” The recommendations in the Hunter Tourism Strategy are a result of a collaborative effort between the HJO Destination Sydney Surrounds North and key players in the industry reflecting a shared commitment to the sustainable growth of the sector The Newcastle Tourism Industry Group will also host an event on 19 June to explain the initiative further Hunter Joint Organisation project lead Kim Carland Dr Cock and Port of Newcastle’s CEO Craig Carmody are expected to give an overview of the region’s international gateway opportunities Key messages and expected benefits from increasing international tourism: Support for Local Businesses and Jobs: The initiative highlights the critical role of tourism in supporting a wide array of local businesses – from cafes emphasizing the creation of local jobs for local people Economic Multiplier Effect: Echoing findings from the Australian Trade and Investment Commission’s June 2021 report: “Opportunities for the Visitor Economy” this initiative underlines tourism’s powerful economic multiplier effect 82 cents are generated in other parts of the economy showcasing the enormous opportunity that tourism can play in supporting the region’s economic evolution Comprehensive Benefits: The business case anticipates a range of benefits for the Hunter The investment required to implement the strategy is $3.85 million over three years and is expected to increase international visitation by at least 1% providing an additional $268 million flowing through the Hunter once funded As the region prepares to welcome an influx of international tourists more jobs and an improved quality of life for its residents Get all the latest Newcastle news, sport, real estate, entertainment, lifestyle and more delivered straight to your inbox with the Newcastle Weekly Daily Newsletter. Sign up here Click through to read our latest Issue of Newcastle Weekly Subscribe to Newcastle Weekly.

Frank’s philosophies and artwork are given due consideration in the book which excitingly includes previously unpublished letters Frank wrote during the Second World War “The two artists formed a peculiar symbiosis and he did everything she asked for.” —Eva von Zweigbergk a small lakeside town on the west coast of Sweden Ericson trained as a drawing teacher in Stockholm at what is now Konstfack with the inheritance left to her by her father she established Svenskt Tenn (meaning Swedish tin or pewter) By the time House & Garden magazine dubbed Ericson “The Mistress of Modern” in 1939 the company and store offered much more than metalware but the name stuck and has become synonymous with quality and discernment I was a stranger in the world and quite impractical Trusting the uncertain tomorrow of good taste.” and Ericson and her company grew and evolved with the times The major shift in her lifetime was from Swedish Grace in the ’20s (with which Carl and Carin Larsson were associated) to Functionalism in the ’30s Ericson herself was the fulcrum on which these tendencies balanced—with abundant curiosity she brought a sense of home and warm hospitality to her work Ericson “maintained that socializing around a beautifully set table was one of the best ways for people to be together.” A sense of stability was especially welcome at a time of great change that came with “a shift from an agrarian to a mechanistic society” as well as geopolitics “Estrid Ericson brought the world to Sweden through exhibitions and by importing items that evoked different cultures,” writes Nina Stritzler-Levine “She took Sweden out into the world by participating in international exhibitions beginning in 1925.” Estrid Ericson and Josef Frank Living room installation in the autumn 1934 exhibition at Liljevalchs Konsthall Ericson set up home(s) at Five Strandvägen close to the waterside and the Swedish Royal Opera (The proprietress lived upstairs from the store.) The shop was arranged like an actual living space and Ericson filled it with flowers from her garden she sold novelties discovered on her travels and alongside exquisitely crafted and expensive items there were more affordable classics like brass trivets and the clear glass acorn vase “According to the notes in her personal papers Estrid Ericson believed that Svenskt Tenn’s success came from being ‘exclusive and eccentric,’” Hedqvist reports Svenskt Tenn has only one physical store, and a visit to the Stockholm flagship is like a pilgrimage to an ever evolving shrine of design. With new vignettes constantly being created in the store and regular collaborations, like those with Mamma Karin Andersson or Margherita Maccapani Missoni Making it even more welcoming was the recent addition of a ground floor cafe edited by Nina Stritzler-Levine with a foreword by Maria Veerasamy The Phaidon book brings together imagery and more in-depth research Objects are isolated and photographed on a white ground; yet while this might emphasize the standing Svenskt Tenn in the pantheon of design it captures none of the warmth or the gestural quality that is an integral part of the brand’s visual identity or offerings the text emphasizes the humanistic aspects of the company which—somewhat unusually—are built into the very foundations and structure of the brand Living beautifully surrounded by objects of lasting quality is but one aspect of Svenskt Tenn—as a company concerned with the aesthetics of living well it also explores how this can be accomplished through science and ecology the company has been owned by the Kjell and Märta Beijer Foundation; in 2011 continuing the brand’s legacy of female leadership All profits that don’t go back into the business are used to support scientific research and cultural projects “what makes Svenskt Tenn unique among other brands that support culture is its hybridity It is a profit-making entity with a non-profit mission a commercial entity that rejects obsolescence Through its support for the Beijer Institute Svenskt Tenn contributes to research dedicated to finding solutions to environmental degradation and together the Beijer Institute and Svenskt Tenn aim to inspire a younger generation of aspiring designers to make improving the environment a focus of their work … Svenskt Tenn is a model of how corporate profits and values can be used for the betterment of society and how history can inform a vision for how design can help to create a better future.” Veerasamy has said that Ericson possessed a “sublime sensibility.” The context for that remark was aesthetic but what this book makes clear is that the legacy of Svenskt Tenn is to open up the idea of home beyond four walls to include the world with the understanding that we must treat the earth as our home as well At a time when capitalism and the idea of endless growth are being called into question the idea—realized by Svenskt Tenn and the Beijer Foundation—that a business can strive to positively impact peoples’ everyday lives in terms of aesthetics and well-being rather than being solely motivated by profit The Swedish art critic Ulf Linde said that Svenskt Tenn “was much more than a store more than an exhibition space—it was a way of life.. She [Estrid Ericson] didn’t arrange the objects line against line in such a meaningful way that the space never felt empty even when you were there alone.” Gustaf Näsström dubbed Estrid Ericson the Madame Lanvin of Swedish interior design Lars Nilsson used Svenskt Tenn fabrics in his spring 2002 collection for Bill Blass “This appropriation of furnishing fabrics to fashion was also part of Estrid Ericson’s legacy,” writes Nina Stritzler-Levine “as she had used Frank’s fabrics as dress material in the late 1940s and early 1950s.” outfitted his own room at the Royal Palace in Stockholm with Svenskt Tenn—with the permission of his grandfather the prince “recalled how the royal court had been horrified by his modern taste.” The Danish Home Lighting Trend That Can Improve Your Mental Health In America’s Cities, Saunas Are Becoming the Hottest Social Spot Millie Bobby Brown Shares Her Favorite Paella Recipe—and Details About Her Wedding to Jake Bongiovi A Day-by-Day Guide to Hiking the Legendary Nakasendo Trail in Japan Never miss a Vogue moment and get unlimited digital access for just $2 $1 per month Continuing its long tradition of excellence the award-winning Hillgrove High School band program added another accolade to its impressive resume The Hawk Jazz Orchestra was recently invited to play at the Midwest International Band and Orchestra Conference in Chicago They were the first high school jazz ensemble from Georgia selected to perform at this prestigious event The hour-long performance took place over the Winter Holiday break on December 20 The 30 students who made the 13-hour trip to the Windy City were rewarded with not only getting to play the music they love but also with three days of sightseeing and food in the third-largest city in the country the Hillgrove jazz program has over seventy students and includes the Jazz Orchestra and a second jazz band The Jazz Orchestra is the premier jazz ensemble at the school They performed at several other events in 2023 including the Georgia Music Educator Association Conference and a regional Essentially Ellington festival in Nashville Hillgrove Principal Angela Stewart attended the performance and said she smiled and cried out of pure admiration for her Hawk student musicians "I am in awe of the level of talent that I witnessed from our Jazz Orchestra at the conference," said Principal Stewart proudly "It was well above the high school level and watching our students in their element passionately express their musicianship brought me to tears Close to a thousand people came to see them and gave a standing ovation at the end They represented Hillgrove and the District very well!" completely agreed with his principal.  "Words cannot adequately convey the depth of pride I feel for each of these students," he said "I extend my sincere gratitude to them for their unwavering dedication and grit throughout this transformative journey Their collective efforts have been nothing short of commendable." The performance consisted of 11 songs of varying complexity and several styles They played a few jazz standards as well as Hillgrove originals and an anthem for the season in "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." The students were also joined by two special guest musicians and a composer/conductor. Chris Crenshaw is a trombone player from Thomson, Georgia, and Marcus Printup is a trumpet player from Conyers, Georgia. Both are members of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra in New York City Michele Fernandez is a retired music educator from Miami and a composer "Their participation added an electrifying dimension to our performance," said Director Lumpkin "Acknowledging the inevitability of imperfections in any live performance we instill in our students the understanding that the paramount objective is to convey the intended emotions of the composers to the audience I am confident that our ensemble successfully achieved this during our performance." In addition to spending a day performing and listening to others at the Conference the Hawk students got to see the Blue Man Group and had their choice of attending a concert by the Osaka Shion Wind Orchestra from Japan or the United States Navy Band Jazz Commodores They also got to spend time at the world's largest Starbucks and other Chicago landmarks like The Bean and Navy Pier where they partook of a timeless Midwest tradition: Enjoying thick-crust pizza at Giordano's After returning home from a trip that won't soon be forgotten Director Lumpkin was thankful for the entire trip and those who made it possible whose invaluable support has played a pivotal role in our achievements Also to the exceptional administration at Hillgrove whose unwavering love and support were evident in her presence during our meaningful trip." "I am profoundly thankful for the unwavering support of my family whose love inspires me to continually strive for excellence as both an educator and an individual." heartfelt thanks are extended to all the clinicians who dedicated their expertise to working with our students whose guidance has been instrumental in our journey Each of these individuals has played a significant role in our collective success and their contributions are sincerely appreciated," he said We hope you enjoyed your time in the Windy City and are ready to keep taking the music in Cobb Schools to new and innovative levels Fantastic job teaching and leading these young musicians The electronic translation service is hosted by Google Translate The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages this does not capture all languages or dialects The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material The Cobb County School District does not guarantee the quality accuracy or completeness of any translated information the District encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make The Cobb County School District is committed to parent and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education Sporting Judge’s Name: Mr. Sam Houston McDonald Hound Judge’s Name: Mr. Randy E.
