International Campaign to Ban Landmines

The International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) is a coalition of non-governmental organizations whose stated objective is a world free of anti-personnel mines and cluster munitions, where mine and cluster munitions survivors see their rights respected and can lead fulfilling lives. The coalition was formed in 1992 when six organisations with similar interests (France-based Handicap International, Germany-based Medico International, UK-based Mines Advisory Group, and US-based Physicians for Human Rights and Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation) agreed to cooperate on their common goal. The campaign has since grown and spread to become a network with active members in some 100 countries—including groups working on women, children, veterans, religious groups, the environment, human rights, arms control, peace and development—working locally, nationally and internationally to eradicate antipersonnel landmines. A prominent supporter was Diana, Princess of Wales. The organization and its founding coordinator, Jody Williams, jointly received the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts to bring about the Mine Ban Treaty (Ottawa Treaty). The signature of this treaty (which bans the use, production, stockpiling, and transfer of anti-personnel mines) is seen as the campaign's greatest success. The prize was received on the organisation's behalf by its co-founder, Rae McGrath of the Mines Advisory Group and by Tunn Channareth, a Cambodian mine victim and ICBL activist. The ICBL monitors the global mine and cluster munition situation (through Landmine and Cluster Munition Monitor, its research and monitoring arm), and conducts advocacy activities, lobbying for implementation and universalization of the Mine Ban Treaty, humanitarian mine action programs geared toward the needs of.

Margareta Nilsdotter

Margareta Nilsdotter also called Margareta Hybertsson (d. 1630) was a Swedish businessperson and shipbuilder. In 1627, she completed construction of the Swedish warship Vasa. Margareta is noted to have been a native Swede. She has been called Margareta Hybertsson, however both the last name of herself and her husband was patronymics, so the male patronymicon Hybertsson would not strictly have been hers, even if she is sometime mentioned as such. She was first married to Dutch born master shipbuilder Henrik Hybertsson (dead 1627) who was engaged to build the Vasa in 1625. When she was widowed in 1627, she took over the share of her late spouse and the responsibility to complete the building of the Vasa, a task she fulfilled the following year. She handled a strike and a period of inflation during her tenure. She inherited responsibility for completion of the contract, but while she was an accomplished businesswoman in her own right and had responsibility for the management of the rural estates which provided part of the family's income, she was not a shipbuilder. After a period of turbulence, the Crown appointed its representative in the navy yard, Captain Söfring Hansson, to manage the yard. Aside from the Vasa, she was also more successfully involved in business as the owner of the estate Viby herrgård in Sollentuna.When the Vasa sunk in 1628, it was deemed to be wrongly constructed, and she was bankrupted. She retired to the Viby estate and married the Swedish envoy to France, diplomat and nobleman Lars Nilsson Tungel (1582-1633).

Norfuk

Norfuk (Pitcairn-Norfolk: Norfuk) (increasingly spelt Norfolk) or Norf'k is the language spoken on Norfolk Island (in the Pacific Ocean) by the local residents. It is a blend of 18th-century English and Tahitian, originally introduced by Pitkern-speaking settlers from the Pitcairn Islands. Along with English, it is the co-official language of Norfolk Island.Norfuk has always been a linguistic cant. As travel to and from Norfolk Island becomes more common, Norfuk is falling into disuse. Efforts are being made to restore the language to more common usage, such as the education of children, the publication of English–Norfuk dictionaries, the use of the language in signage, and the renaming of some tourist attractions – most notably the rainforest walk "A Trip Ina Stik" – to their Norfuk equivalents. In 2007, the United Nations added Norfuk to its list of endangered languages.
