FAST RETAILING ANNUAL REPORT 2008 01 FAST RETAILING at a Glance FAST RETAILING Around the World UNIQLOCK http://www.uniqlo.jp/uniqlock/ UNIQLOCK is a set of blog parts with a built-in clock function. Groups of girls wearing UNIQLO clothes introduce their original dances as the screen changes in time with the clock and the music. UNIQLOCK first appeared on UNIQLO’s website in June 2007 as part of a UNIQLO polo shirt campaign, and, by June 2008, 41,632 blog parts had been established from 83 countries worldwide. During this period, the num- ber of hits on UNIQLO’s site rose to 120,900,278 from 212 countries. In addition to combining dance, music, and clock images, none of which depend on language, the site also drew attention because of its original advertising media delivery—through a blog. -
Climate Change Is Real. What Governments Do Matters
Climate change is real. What governments do matters. Global Spotlight Report #13 Theme: New and Noteworthy Climate Change Activity Reports from Leading Greenhouse Gas Emitting Countries Introduction: Climate Scorecard has country managers in 20 leading greenhouse gas emitting countries. For Global Spotlight Report #13 we asked our Country Managers to describe and rate a significant activity/event/ policy that had taken place in their countries since the beginning of 2019. They also were asked to rate these activities based on our 4 point rating system: **** Moving Ahead *** Right Direction (needs more work) ** Standing Still * Falling Behind 1 www.ClimateScorecard.org We are encouraged by several countries having 3 and 4-star ratings. These included Canada, which produced a new government-sponsored, climate-related food guide; Nigeria which strengthened its capacity to repair broken hydro-powered dams; Russia which took long-awaited steps towards ratifying the Paris Agreement; Japan, which cancelled one of its largest coal-fired power plants; and Indonesia which received the first installment $1 billion of external climate change financing. At the other end of the scale there were unfortunately many countries with 1 or 2 star rated activities including: Australia, which has been suffering through a Summer of extreme weather events; Brazil, whose new government is signaling a weakening of the country’s environmental agenda; China, which reported a net increase in 2018 carbon emissions; India where the Supreme Court ordered the eviction of over 1 million tribal people from their forested lands; Mexico which cancelled its clean energy auction; and the United States which appointed a coal industry lobbyist to be the head of its Environmental Protection Agency. -

Any thoughts from others or literal quotations are clearly marked. The PhD thesis was not used in the same or in a similar version to achieve an academic grading or is being published elsewhere. Berlin (Germany), 17st June 2020 Forough Marzban Abstract Urbanization is manifest by changes in the physical structure of the land surface, owing to extensive construction features such as buildings, street canyons, changes in the thermal structure because of materials of different thermal properties and also intensive human activities. Urban areas are generally also characterized by higher surface air temperatures as compared to the rural surroundings. This temperature excess can be up to 10-12°C and more and is referred to as the urban heat island(UHI)phenomenon. Since residents living in cities are especially affected by extreme temperature events, urban climate studies are gaining in importance. -

Infrastructure Investment)
Ensuring all policies, programmes and investment decisions take account of climate change (with a focus on new infrastructure investment) Summary Key Policy messages There is a goal in the 25 Year Environment Plan on ‘making sure that all policies, programmes and investment decisions take into account the possible extent of climate change this century’. This case study assesses whether the Government is on course to achieve this goal, focusing on the area of new infrastructure. It is stressed that the case study is not considering households, and it is not focused on flood defence infrastructure, but rather all other new infrastructure. The analysis looks at policy, programme and investment decisions for infrastructure, noting this involves public and private sectors, and includes all infrastructure investment not just targeted resilience infrastructure (such as flood defences). These investment levels are very large, for example, the average annual investment set out in the National Infrastructure Delivery Plan is £48 billion/year. The analysis finds that the current actions (in the 25YEP and NAP2) are insufficient to deliver the goal. While there is growing action in the public sector, and to a lesser extent in the private sector, there remains a sizeable adaptation gap. It is also noted that other countries and in particular the Multilateral Development Banks have gone further than the UK to date in integrating climate change into new infrastructure design. Initial analysis in the case study finds that the additional adaptation needed to achieve the 25YEP goal could involve large additional costs (with an annual cost of £0.2 billion to £4.8 billion) and to deliver this efficiently and effectively, there is a need for enhanced appraisal. -
KUAT COMMUNICATIONS GROUP Fiscal Year 2007 Report with Audited Financial Statements
KUAT COMMUNICATIONS GROUP Fiscal Year 2007 Report with Audited Financial Statements June 30, 2007 Dear friends, In the land grant tradition of Arizona’s first university, The University of Arizona, the KUAT Communications Group (KUAT) provides information, entertainment and educational outreach across multiple distribution platforms. Our sta- tions have the unique ability to connect thousands of Southern Arizonans instantly, to their community and the world through the intellectual and creative resources of The University of Arizona. KUAT has spent the last 48 years solidifying its reputation as a high-quality, trusted source for lifelong learning. When limited federal support for the operation of public stations began in 1968, the community and the University reached a turning point – it was clear that media could be used to enhance everyday learning opportunities. Today, KUAT is undergoing another historic turning point. A nearly half-century of experience in creating and delivering quality programming and educational services coupled with the entrance into the digital delivery age, gives this enterprise new opportunities to bring learning to life for thousands in Arizona and millions globally, all under the moniker of The University of Arizona. With the goal of increasing organizational and fiscal efficiencies, this year KUAT implemented staff reorganizations that focus our human resources into areas of core competencies. Today, all content producers collaborate in a single workgroup to provide better in-depth coverage of news and community issues and to increase the diversity of topics on all media platforms: television, radio and the web. Similarly, engineering and technology positions work together to increase operational efficiency and productivity. -
