The project aims to support the implementation of China’s priorities and its policy development process through institutional partnerships; mutual learning and exchange; strengthening of capacity, especially in government institutions; and the effective demonstration of results on the ground in the implementation of China’s environmental priorities. The overall objective of the project is to harness the full range of green finance approaches and vehicles in the task of funding and managing the associated risks in the remediation of contaminated soils in China. This series of reports focuses on the financial vehicles available to attract investment to the environmental rehabilitation of degraded land and the financial reforms needed to make these vehicles a viable and desirable means of investing in land rehabilitation. We draw on best practices worldwide in funding environmental rehabilitation, with a special focus on the design and use of financial mechanisms to attract private investors, share the risks and offer a clear benefit for the rehabilitated land. This report was written by Ingvild Skumlien Furuseth, Karl Jakob Kammler, Wenting Chen, Froukje Maria Platjouw, Yan Lin, Morten Jartun and Thorjørn Larssen. This report was edited by Lisa Muirhead and Tom Penner. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT In addition to the authors highlighted above, we would like to acknowledge the guidance and insights of a number of people.

With much of the degradation being the result of historic and cumulative environmental pressures for which traditional liability rules cannot generally work, new financial instruments and sources must be harnessed to fund restoration and remediation projects. Often environmental degradation will have direct, negative impacts on human well-being, most evidently on local communities living near affected areas. When degraded ecosystems pose an immediate threat to people’s livelihoods and health, such as in the case of contaminated soil or sediments, the political imperative to undertake remediation will be particularly strong. A remediation strategy intended to ameliorate contamination in a specific area can have different costs and different results when applied to the same ecosystem type in a different geographic area due to variations in regional or country-specific cost structures, such as workers’ salaries and fuel costs. The size of the projects also is a material factor. This report documents and analyzes how different financing instruments have been used to support soil remediation projects. We have chosen seven different cases with different financial measures used: the Superfund (United States), Clean Michigan Initiative bond (United States), the Danish Oil Industry’s Remediation Fund (Denmark), the Ginkgo Fund 1 (France and Belgium), Bonfol Soil Remediation Project (Switzerland), and Flekkefjord and Hempel cases (Norway). The first four cases address programs for financing soil remediation projects, and the latter three cases address specific remediation projects. For the first four cases, we provide information on both the programs and chosen projects under each program. In each case, we look at the background of the remediation program or project, including the level of development in the region or the nation at the time, and the type of land the remediation projects focus on. Then we identify financial actors, financial instruments used, financial sources and financial recipients, costs and various risks the project faces. Two types of costs that affect project return are discussed: transaction costs and information costs. The risks include legal, regulatory, social, political, technical and physical, and market risk. For each case, both success factors and weaknesses are discussed. This report finds that the different financing approaches to soil remediation projects have different fields of application. In urban areas, it is easier to mobilize private funding, as remediation will increase possible revenue streams after remediation. Funds aimed for long-term soil remediation of a large quantity of sites rely on the continuity of funding. For instance, continuity may be ensured by a special tax on polluting industries or regular fixed grants from general fiscal revenue. As another example, the establishment of a remediation fund to provide loans, security and grants may ensure continuity and help mobilize private capital in the long term. Many countries have legislation that follows the polluter pays principle. However, the polluter notion for cost liability may differ greatly. It may be defined broadly by including, for instance, landowners and leaseholders, or a narrower definition

ABSTRACT THE ORIGIN, DEVELOPMENT, AND HISTORY OF THE NORWEGIAN SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH FROM THE 1840s TO 1887 by Bjorgvin Martin Hjelvik Snorrason Adviser: Jerry Moon ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: THE ORIGIN, DEVELOPMENT, AND HISTORY OF THE NORWEGIAN SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH FROM THE 1840s TO 1887 Name of researcher: Bjorgvin Martin Hjelvik Snorrason Name and degree of faculty adviser: Jerry Moon, Ph.D. Date completed: July 2010 This dissertation reconstructs chronologically the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Norway from the Haugian Pietist revival in the early 1800s to the establishment of the first Seventh-day Adventist Conference in Norway in 1887. The present study has been based as far as possible on primary sources such as protocols, letters, legal documents, and articles in journals, magazines, and newspapers from the nineteenth century. A contextual-comparative approach was employed to evaluate the objectivity of a given source. Secondary sources have also been consulted for interpretation and as corroborating evidence, especially when no primary sources were available. The study concludes that the Pietist revival ignited by the Norwegian Lutheran lay preacher, Hans Nielsen Hauge (1771-1824), represented the culmination of the sixteenth- century Reformation in Norway, and the forerunner of the Adventist movement in that country.

Stolt Tankers B.V. Stolt-Nielsen B.V. (Counsel Herman Steen Counsel Kaare Andreas Shetelig) v. A Line Corporation Trust Company Complex Marship MPP GmbH Co. KG (Counsel Kristian Lindhartsen Counsel Andreas Stang Lund) (1) Justice Normann: The case concerns the question whether Norwegian courts have jurisdiction in an action brought directly against a Norwegian P&I insurer after a collision in foreign waters between ships registered abroad. The proprietors and managing owners of both ships are foreign companies. It also raises the question of whether the claimants may include in their action against the insurer a claim against the proprietor and the managing owner of the ship that are allegedly liable for the collision. (2) On 16 December 2015, the cargo ship "Thorco Cloud" sank after colliding with the chemical carrier "Stolt Commitment" in Indonesian territorial waters in the Singapore Strait. Six crewmembers on "Thorco Cloud" died in the shipwreck. "Stolt Commitment" only suffered minor damage in the collision and was back in operation after the damage had been repaired. (3) "Thorco Cloud" is registered in Antigua & Barbuda. The proprietor is A Line Corporation Trust Company Complex – hereinafter A Line. A Line is a company registered on the Marshall Islands and is a subsidiary of the Danish shipowner Thorco Shipping AS. Managing shipowner at the time of the collision was Marship MPP GmbH Co.

What it seeks to do is to look into what characterise homicides in this period, in which type of homicide can the decline be seen, has every type of homicide seen a decrease and lastly, has specific types of homicides disappeared or experienced a more dramatic decrease. This was done by looking at the Homicide Overview from the National Criminal Investigation Service Norway and by a content analysis of 82 judicial verdicts. It is quantitative content analysis as it counts variables, but it is mostly a qualitative analysis as it seeks to give a deeper understanding of the homicides. The homicides were divided into four categories; intimate partner homicides; homicides between friends, acquaintances and colleagues; familial homicides; and homicides between other relations (strangers, the perpetrators/victim used a service that the victim/perpetrator provided, and unspecified relations).
