CITI: Refugees are more likely to 'break Europe' than the Greek crisis

Osborne's 'lost marbles' taunt reinforces mental health stigma, says Labour
Chancellor’s joke to MPs about John McDonnell and Yanis Varoufakis deeply disappointing, says shadow minister for mental health Luciana Berger George Osborne should apologise for “flippant remarks” he made in parliament about mental health, Labour’s shadow mental health minister has said. Speaking to MPs on Tuesday, the chancellor joked that the shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, and the former Greek finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, had both “lost their marbles” – referring to the Elgin Marbles and to Labour’s plans to hold a series of open seminars about economics.

Lesbos Volunteers Refashion Discarded Life Jackets Into Mattresses
The mountain of discarded life jackets on the Greek island of Lesbos is now being put to another vital use -- keeping migrants and refugees warm. Volunteers are refashioning discarded life jackets into foam mattresses in an effort to clean up Lesbos and help those who struggle to find shelter upon reaching the island. Every day, hundreds of people arrive on the island cold, wet and sometimes suffering from hypothermia after they make perilous journeys across the Aegean Sea from Turkey, according to Boris Cheshirkov, the United Nations Refugee Agency spokesman on Lesbos. Over 14,000 people have arrived to the island by boat in 2016 alone, the UNHCR reports. The Greek government has established reception centers around the island to register and house new arrivals. However, the centers are sometimes overwhelmed, forcing migrants to seek alternative places to sleep, Cheshirkov said. Many migrants end up sleeping outdoors -- the number fluctuates between 50 and 500 on any given night, according to volunteers. Their tents often have little to no insulation to protect them from the windy, rainy and freezing winter weather. "It was -6 degrees Celsius [about 21 degrees Fahrenheit] on the first day of the year, in the night, and just sleeping on a blanket [provided by aid agencies] on the ground is pretty cold," said Anezka Sokol, a Danish Ph.D. student who went to Lesbos in late December to help out where needed. After noticing that the life jackets refugees and migrants had discarded were filled with insulating foam material, Sokol and fellow Danish volunteer Mads Damgaard Petersen decided to recycle them into mattresses. "When we realized how many life jackets there were and how easy it was to access them, it seemed like a cool project to start on," Sokol said. "This was a waste of resources that would have gone to a landfill." To make the mattresses, volunteers remove the belts, unfold the life jackets and tie them together with cable ties. The new mattresses are two to three inches thicker than the average camping sleeping bag, which provides extra insulation, Sokol said. By the time Sokol left Lesbos on Jan. 7, volunteers had made 70 mattresses, and she says some volunteers on the island are still making mattresses. > Posted by Adele Neil on Tuesday, December 29, 2015 The mattress-making initiative is completely informal and led by volunteers, and the number of people working on the project fluctuate from day to day, depending on who is available, Sokol said. Some refugees who had time on their hands also helped make the mattresses, she added. "There was a small boy -- he was maybe 4 or 5 -- and he understood everything I was saying in English," Sokol recalled. "I was punching the holes and he was fixing the small zip ties with his small fingers." > Lesbos #6: Have you ever frozen a whole night? Ppl in Moria are not > gonna have a great time after sunset - the... > Posted by Anežka Marie Sokol on Wednesday, December 30, 2015 Sokol's project is one of many volunteer-led efforts on the island to reuse life jackets for new purposes. Recently, other volunteers launched a project to make handbags and messenger bags out of the life jackets to help refugees pay for their living expenses. And on New Year's Day, volunteers constructed a giant orange peace sign out of life jackets to bring global attention to the plight of those on the island. "All these life jackets are gathered in a landfill in the north of the island," UNHCR's Cheshirkov said. "Having efforts to reuse them for something purposeful, especially to respond to the refugee emergency, it's an incredible initiative."

How Nike almost ended up with a very different name
[Nike] In 2015, one DJIA company outpaced all other Dow stocks with a 30% gain: Nike. The Oregon-based $100 billion company now generates over $30B in yearly revenues, year-over-year growth of 5%, and sales to China growing more than 30% annually. Nike is considered the most popular and respected brand in the sports industry – and one of the most valued business brands in the world, ranking ahead of Intel and Mercedes-Benz. But the company’s brand name almost ended up being completely different. NIKE FOUNDED AS BLUE RIBBON SPORTS Founded in 1964 by CEO Phil Knight and Oregon head track coach Bill Bowerman as Blue Ribbon Sports (BRS), the company initially served as a U.S. distributor of running shoes made by Japanese company Onitsuka Tiger (now known as Asics). In 1971, Knight and BRS launched an effort to manufacture and distribute their own shoes – under their own brand. It was June of 1971. The first shipment of their own shoes would go out the next day, and they needed a new name. Fortunately, they already had a logo. Knight had enlisted the help of Portland State University graphic design student Carolyn Davidson to come up with some design options. One of the choices she presented to Knight was the now-iconic Swoosh. "Well, I don't love it," Phil Knight said of the design. "But maybe it will grow on me." [nike swoosh] ALMOST NAMED "DIMENSION SIX" Next, they needed a name. Knight wanted to name the brand “Dimension Six.” The late Geoff Hollister, the company’s third employee who was managing the BRS store in Eugene, Oregon, writes, “Knight went for Dimension Six; we thought perhaps for his love of the pop group The 5th Dimension.” Jeff Johnson, BRS’s first employee, was in Massachusetts when he got a call from Bob Woodell, the company’s first President, according to authors J.B. Strasser and Laurie Becklund. “Knight just came in and told me we needed a name by 9 a.m. because they’re making up the shoe boxes,” Woodell explained to Johnson. Hollister offered an idea: “I stayed in the zone of Puma,” referring to the successful German shoe company named after a cougar, suggesting the name “Peregrine,” a type of falcon. Perhaps also inspired by Puma, another early BRS employee suggested “Bengal.” None of these options were popular with the other employees. Johnson, who ran the company’s East Coast factory in Exeter, NH, would come up with another idea. Runners World contributor Matt McCue documented how Johnson read an in-flight magazine about great brand names, such as Kleenex and Xerox. “They had no more than two syllables and at least one exotic letter or sound in them with a Z, X or K,” writes McCue, paraphrasing Johnson. At 7 a.m. the next morning, Johnson awoke with the name “Nike.” But it was only 4 a.m. in Portland, so Johnson waited 3 hours before calling Woodell. “I’ve got it!” Johnson said to Woodell, according to Strasser and Becklund. “What?” “Nike!” “What?” Woodell asked. “What’s a Nike?” “It’s the Greek winged goddess of victory,” Johnson said. [nike goddess] “[Johnson] calmly emphasized 2 syllables and the importance of a “K” or “Z” sound,” writes Hollister. Then silence. "What else you got?" Woodell finally asked. Woodell didn’t like “Nike.” He also didn’t like “Peregrine or “Bengal.” But he discussed all the options with Knight. Knight did not like “Nike” either. Writer and Olympian Kenny Moore explains what happened next. “Nike? Sounds like a Jeff deal to me,” Knight said. “What happened to Dimension Six?” “Nobody seems to like that one but you,” Woodell said. “This Nike thing would fit the shoes.” Knight started typing. They had a 9 a.m. deadline with the factory. “Which did you pick?” asked Woodell. “I guess we’ll go with the Nike thing for a while,” Knight said. “I don’t like any of them, but I guess that’s the best of the bunch.” On June 18, 1971, the first Nike shoe went on sale. PRE: THE FIRST NOTED ATHLETE TO WEAR NIKE IN PUBLIC Years before Michael Jordan and LeBron James forged mega-million-dollar Nike identities, including LeBron’s recent lifetime deal, there was one Nike athlete who was first. The first top athlete to publicly display the new Nike name with the new “Swoosh” logo at a major sporting event was local and national running hero Steve Prefontaine. [Screenshot Steve Prefontaine Nike Commercial] On July 6, 1972, the University of Oregon trackster and Sports Illustrated cover boy warmed up for his 5,000 meter heat in the Olympic Trials on the hometown Hayward Field track in Eugene in a T-shirt given to him by Hollister. The shirt displayed the “Nike” name in cursive over the logo and the words “Olympic Trials” underneath. What was the response? People thought the cursive “Nike” was actually “Mike” – not exactly an immediate brand marketing homerun. “The scripted Nike on our new brand looked like ‘Mike,’” writes Hollister. “To our delight, in the stands, a lot of Mikes were running around on the infield at Hayward Field. As inauspicious as it seemed, a new brand had emerged out of nowhere in the Pacific Northwest.” Thanks to Jeff Johnson, the eventual iconic brand name that emerged was not Bengal or Dimension Six – but Nike. _Philip Levinson is a Venture Advisor to __Learn Capital__ and was the first Sales & Marketing executive at __TigerText__, a leading VC-backed mobile company founded in 2010.

EU chief gives migrant plan 2 months to work
BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union's top official warned Tuesday the bloc has just two months to get its migration strategy in order amid criticism that its current policies are putting thousands of people in danger and creating more business for smugglers. Tusk warned that if Europe fails to make the strategy work "we will face grave consequences such as the collapse of Schengen," the 26-nation passport-free travel zone. "Policies of deterrence, along with their chaotic response to the humanitarian needs of those who flee, actively worsened the conditions of thousands of vulnerable men, women and children," said MSF head of operations, Brice de le Vingne. The group urged the EU to create more legal ways to come to Europe, allow asylum applications at the land border between Turkey and Greece, and set up a real search and rescue system, after more than 3,000 people died trying to reach the EU by sea in 2015. North African states must also take back failed asylum seekers like western Balkan nations already do, he added.
