The Challenger of the Year Awards recognise excellence in standards set across the global Challenger Tour comprising 159 tournaments staged in 40 countries last year. Vancouver’s Odlum Brown VanOpen, relaunched in 2017, and the NECKARCUP, staged for five years in Heilbronn, have continued ambitious improvements each year, while the Puerto Vallarta Open burst onto the calendar with an exceptional inaugural event. ATP Challenger Tour Committee Co-Chairs, Alison Lee, ATP International Executive Vice President and Ross Hutchins, Chief Player Officer, said “These three Challengers are relatively new on the ATP Challenger Tour calendar and the organisers have set themselves very high standards to win these awards of excellence. It takes hard work, dedication and a passion for tennis to make successful tournaments, and players, fans, sponsors and media will have all seen these Challenger promoters’ enormous efforts come to fruition.” Odlum Brown VanOpen Tournament Chair Carlota Lee said: "It is a thrill to be honoured as one of the 2018 Challenger of the Year Award winners for the second straight year. The Tournament of the Year Award represents the great work of our team, including Hollyburn Country Club members and staff, incredible partners, officials, volunteers and ball kids, and our steadfast and supportive title sponsor, Odlum Brown, whose commitment to tennis in Canada makes our tournament possible."

    Engaging with Socialism in China: the Political Thought and Activities of Chen Gongbo and Tan Pingshan, 1917-1928

    Engaging with Socialism in China: The Political Thought and Activities of Chen Gongbo and Tan Pingshan, 1917-1928 Xuduo Zhao PhD University of York History May 2019 1 Abstract This thesis investigates Chen Gongbo (1892-1946) and Tan Pingshan (1886-1956), two significant Cantonese Marxists who helped found the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1921. I use Chen and Tan as a lens to re-examine the dissemination of Marxism in May Fourth China and the underlying tensions in 1920s Chinese revolution. My study demonstrates that it was in the changing educational system in the early 20th century that Chen and Tan gradually improved their positions in the cultural field and participated in the intellectual ferment during the May Fourth period. At Peking University they became familiarised with Marxism. Their understanding of Marxism, however, was deeply influenced by European social democracy, as opposed to many other early communist leaders who believed in Bolshevism. This divergence finally led to the open conflict within the CCP between Guangzhou and Shanghai in the summer of 1922, which also embodied the different social identities among early Chinese Marxists. After the quarrel, Chen quit while Tan remained within the party. During the Nationalist Revolution, both Tan and Chen became senior leaders in the Kuomintang, but they had to face yet another identity crisis of whether to be a revolutionary or a politician. Meanwhile, they had to rethink the relationship between socialism and nationalism in their political propositions. This study of Chen and Tan’s political thought and activities in the late 1910s and 1920s offers a different picture of Chinese radicalism and revolution in the early Republican period.

    SUB-NATIONAL BEST PRACTICES IN THE TOP 25 GREENHOUSE GAS EMITTING COUNTRIES FEBRUARY 2017 Climate Scorecard Report #7 Edited by: Lois Barber and Ron Israel Designed by: Kristin Hope CLIMATESCORECARD.ORG TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 3 Table 4 Argentina 6 Australia 7 Brazil 10 Canada 13 China 15 France 18 Germany 21 India 22 Indonesia 23 Italy 26 Japan 29 Mexico 31 Nigeria 33 Russia 35 South Africa 36 South Korea 37 Spain 39 Thailand 42 Turkey 45 Ukraine 46 United Kingdom 48 United States 51 About Climate Scorecard 56 2 Sub-National Best Practices: Climate Scorecard Country Summary Report #7 INTRODUCTION Climate Scorecard Country Report #7 considers recent developments around the world that open the question of the degree to which countries that signed the Paris Agreement are going to be able to comply with its provisions. A new administration in the United States, for example, is threatening to withdraw from the Agreement altogether. Many countries, such as Brazil, Turkey and South Africa, are being buffeted by political and economic crisis that constrain them from focusing on Paris Agreement commitments. However, constraints at the national level do not seem to impede sub-national governance units- provinces/regions/states from pushing forward with aggressive and impressive emission reduction efforts. In this Climate Scorecard Report we highlight best practices at the sub-national level in the 25 leading greenhouse gas emitting countries. The Report highlights a variety of innovative efforts ranging from hydrogen powered urban transportation systems in the cities of Aberdeen and Bristol in the UK to the use of waste heat from power plants for home energy use in Hebei Province in China.
