Green Week 2018

Nicola gives an overview of the busy week that is to come for environmentalists in St. Andrews

Environment and sustainability enthusiasts will revel in the upcoming ‘Green Week’ commencing in week four of this semester.

Organised by the University’s Environment Subcommittee, Green Week is a collaborative project involving a broad range of societies, from Edible Campus to the Socialist Society. Transition, the University’s leading group of sustainability pioneers, will play a large role in the week’s events.

The Environment Subcommittee explains the aims of Green Week on their blog from the 2016 week as ‘seek(ing) to promote and raise awareness of important issues including climate change through fun and engaging events and activities…we want to show how the environment is crucial to all areas of our lives…’. For Lauren Davis, Environment Officer and head of the Subcommittee for this academic year, ‘community engagement’ is another key aim.

‘(Green Week is) really a community effort’ says Davis. ‘We (the Subcommittee) hold a lot of meetings to make sure everything gets done but it’s up to the other societies and people to make it fun.’

It indeed seems there will be no shortage of fun. The week will officially commence with a launch event on Monday to raise awareness of ‘Earth Year’, to be held in St Mary’s Quad. The University Principal, Professor Sally Mapstone, will also be present.

The week will close on Sunday night with a bonfire organized by the Oxfam society.

Events lined up for the week are arranged according to the different themes attributed to each day by the Environment Subcommittee. Friday is ‘Food for Thought’ day; those interested can attend events organized by the Fine Food and Dining society, Edible Campus, or even enjoy a film screening in Sandys Bar courtesy of Green Film Festival. Thursday’s focus will be energy; Saturday’s, environmental economics.

All events are open to wider residents of St Andrews, as well as students and staff of the University. The vast majority of events are also free to attend. The full lineup can be found on the Green Week Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/107398280177842/?notif_t=event_calendar_create&notif_id=1538663647851530

Professor Sally Mapstone will not be the only special guest gracing the week’s events. Amongst the University’s academics who have raised a hand to participate in Green Week is Professor Will Creswell from the School of Biology, who will be delivering his talk on Wednesday. Saturday’s schedule will feature a public lecture by Sustainability Analyst Miika Korja of Affirmative Investment Management (AIM). His address will ‘be focused more on policy making and environmental conservation rather than just economics’, as detailed by the Facebook event for the talk.

The Environment Subcommittee plan to further their involvement in the week by setting themselves personal challenges that serve to reduce their own ecological footprints. Davis has pledged to pursue a vegan diet for the week and intends to journal each day about her experience. She also plans to ask committee members to do the same for their challenges and to publish their recounts, in which they would be asked to state ‘what they’ll do going forward from what they’ve learned from the week.’

This challenge is open to public participation, too. Throughout the week members of the community will be photographed with their ‘pledges’ to be more sustainable.

St Andrews is no stranger to environmentally friendly initiatives. Green Week is a long-time project of the Environment Subcommittee and just one of their many projects to be undertaken this year. World Car Free Day on the 22nd of September is another example of the initiatives they bring to fruition.

But Davis has a long-term vision for the university’s ecological footprint, too. She would like to see University societies becoming more conscious of sustainability in the future, particularly in relation to materials they use and the events they hold. ‘It’s a really easy thing to implement – we’re just trying to think of ways to get (sustainability) more ingrained in everyday activities’, she says. Green Week appears to be doing exactly that.

Green Week at the University of St Andrews will run from 8th to 14th October.

    Understanding COSC Certification and Its Importance in Horology
    COSC Accreditation and its Strict Criteria
    COSC, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the authorized Swiss testing agency that certifies the accuracy and precision of timepieces. COSC validation is a sign of quality craftsmanship and trustworthiness in chronometry. Not all timepiece brands pursue COSC validation, such as Hublot, which instead adheres to its proprietary demanding standards with mechanisms like the UNICO, achieving equivalent precision.

    The Art of Precision Timekeeping
    The central mechanism of a mechanized watch involves the spring, which delivers energy as it loosens. This system, however, can be prone to external factors that may impact its accuracy. COSC-accredited movements undergo rigorous testing—over 15 days in various circumstances (five positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their resilience and dependability. The tests evaluate:

    Mean daily rate precision between -4 and +6 seconds.
    Mean variation, maximum variation rates, and effects of thermal changes.
    Why COSC Validation Matters
    For watch aficionados and connoisseurs, a COSC-accredited timepiece isn’t just a piece of tech but a proof to lasting quality and accuracy. It signifies a watch that:

    Provides outstanding reliability and accuracy.
    Ensures assurance of quality across the entire construction of the watch.
    Is probable to maintain its value more efficiently, making it a smart choice.
    Popular Chronometer Brands
    Several well-known manufacturers prioritize COSC accreditation for their timepieces, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, presents collections like the Record and Spirit, which showcase COSC-certified movements equipped with cutting-edge materials like silicone balance suspensions to enhance durability and efficiency.

    Historical Context and the Development of Chronometers
    The concept of the timepiece originates back to the need for exact timekeeping for navigational at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth century. Since the formal foundation of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the validation has become a yardstick for assessing the accuracy of high-end timepieces, maintaining a tradition of excellence in horology.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-validated watch is more than an aesthetic choice; it’s a commitment to quality and precision. For those valuing precision above all, the COSC validation offers peacefulness of thoughts, ensuring that each certified timepiece will operate reliably under various circumstances. Whether for individual contentment or as an investment decision, COSC-accredited watches stand out in the world of watchmaking, bearing on a legacy of careful timekeeping.

  4. 로드스탁과 레버리지 스탁: 투자의 참신한 지평

    로드스탁에서 제공하는 레버리지 방식의 스탁은 주식 시장의 투자법의 한 방법으로, 높은 수익률을 목적으로 하는 투자자들을 위해 매력적인 선택입니다. 레버리지를 이용하는 이 전략은 투자자가 자신의 투자금을 넘어서는 자금을 투자할 수 있도록 하여, 증권 장에서 훨씬 큰 작용을 가질 수 있는 기회를 줍니다.

    레버리지 스탁의 기본 원칙
    레버리지 스탁은 원칙적으로 자본을 대여하여 투자하는 방법입니다. 사례를 들어, 100만 원의 투자금으로 1,000만 원 상당의 증권을 구매할 수 있는데, 이는 투자자가 일반적인 투자 금액보다 훨씬 훨씬 더 많은 주식을 구매하여, 증권 가격이 증가할 경우 관련된 더 큰 수익을 획득할 수 있게 해줍니다. 그러나, 주식 가격이 떨어질 경우에는 그 손해 또한 증가할 수 있으므로, 레버리지 사용을 사용할 때는 신중해야 합니다.

    투자 계획과 레버리지
    레버리지는 특히 성장 가능성이 높은 사업체에 적용할 때 효과적입니다. 이러한 회사에 높은 비중으로 투입하면, 성공할 경우 큰 수익을 얻을 수 있지만, 그 반대의 경우 많은 위험성도 감수해야. 그러므로, 투자자들은 자신의 위험 관리 능력을 가진 시장 분석을 통해 통해, 어느 사업체에 얼마만큼의 자본을 투자할지 결정해야 합니다.

    레버리지 사용의 장점과 위험성
    레버리지 방식의 스탁은 상당한 수익을 약속하지만, 그만큼 높은 위험도 동반합니다. 증권 시장의 변화는 예상이 힘들기 때문에, 레버리지를 이용할 때는 항상 상장 추세를 세심하게 살펴보고, 손실을 최소화하기 위해 수 있는 계획을 구성해야 합니다.

    최종적으로: 조심스러운 결정이 요구됩니다
    로드스탁을 통해 제공하는 레버리지 방식의 스탁은 강력한 투자 도구이며, 잘 이용하면 많은 이익을 벌어들일 수 있습니다. 하지만 큰 위험도 신경 써야 하며, 투자 선택은 충분히 많은 정보와 신중한 생각 후에 진행되어야 합니다. 투자자 본인의 금융 상황, 리스크 감수 능력, 그리고 장터 상황을 고려한 안정된 투자 계획이 중요합니다.
