Brazilian porcupine
The Brazilian porcupine ("Coendou prehensilis") is a porcupine found in Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, the Guyanas, Bolivia and Trinidad, with a single record from Ecuador. It inhabits tropical forests at elevations up to 1500 m.
The body is covered with short, thick spines which are whitish or yellowish in color, mixed with the darker hair, while the underside is grayish. The lips and nose are fleshy. The tail is prehensile, with the tip curling upward so as to get a better grip on tree branches. This porcupine can grow to forty inches long (1 m), but half of that is tail. It weighs about . No spines are found on the tail, which is long (330–485 mm). Its feet are reflective | 18,212 |

of their arboreal lifestyle, well-adapted for gripping branches, with four long-clawed toes on each.
# Behavior.
This shy, nocturnal porcupine is solitary or lives in pairs in the branches of trees. During the day it rests in a cavity in a hollow tree or in a well-shaded area of the canopy, 6 to 10 meters above the ground. It rarely descends to the ground, but it shows little fear if it happens to be caught. It is not aggressive but will defend itself ferociously if attacked. Its diet consists of leaves, fruit, and small fresh twigs and shoots. This creature can easily be tamed enough to be kept in captivity. Intra-specific interactions consist of biting and attempts to injure adversaries | 18,213 |

ht. It is not aggressive but will defend itself ferociously if attacked. Its diet consists of leaves, fruit, and small fresh twigs and shoots. This creature can easily be tamed enough to be kept in captivity. Intra-specific interactions consist of biting and attempts to injure adversaries with their sharp quills. When excited, porcupines stamp their hind feet. Vocalizations consist of growls and cries. If caught, the porcupine rolls into a ball. The prehensile tail is used to curl around branches when climbing.
# Reproduction.
As a rule the female gives birth to a single young in the spring. The newborn porcupine is covered with red hairs and small spines, which harden shortly after birth. | 18,214 |

Daniel Blagrave
Daniel Blagrave (1603–1668) was a prominent resident of the town of Reading, in the English county of Berkshire. He was Member of Parliament for the Parliamentary Borough of Reading over several periods between 1640 and 1660, and was also one of the signatories of King Charles I's death warrant.
Daniel Blagrave was educated at Reading School and trained to be a lawyer. Daniel Blagrave's uncle was the mathematician John Blagrave of Southcote Manor, in what is now the Reading suburb of Southcote, and Daniel inherited the manor on John's death. In 1643 he permitted the Earl of Essex to use the manor as the Roundhead headquarters during the Siege of Reading. He was Recorder of Reading | 18,215 |

Youth with a Mission
Youth with a Mission (YWAM, generally pronounced /ˈwaɪwæm/ or “WHY-wham”), is a Christian missionary and outreach group.
Founded in 1960, the group's initial focus was to get youth involved in missions. Today, while maintaining it's original youth-oriented ethos, the group has expanded it's membership to those of older ages as well. The organization currently has tens of thousands of staff (called “YWAMers”) working in thousands of teams and locations.
Founded by Loren Cunningham and his wife Darlene Cunningham in 1960, YWAM's stated purpose is to "know God and to make Him known".
YWAM includes members from over 181 countries and a large number of Christian denominations, | 18,217 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
with over half of the organization's staff from non-Western countries. YWAM has over 15,000 full-time 'volunteers' in more than 1,100 ministry locations in over 180 countries. They train upwards of 25,000 short-term missions 'volunteers' annually.
# History.
Youth with a Mission was conceived by Loren Cunningham in 1956. As a 20-year-old student in an Assemblies of God College, he was traveling in the Bahamas when he had a vision of a movement that would send young people out into various nations to share the message of Jesus, and which would involve Christians of all Protestant denominations.
In late 1960, the name Youth with a Mission (YWAM) was chosen and the group embarked on their first | 18,218 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
project, a vocational mission trip. The result was that YWAM sent two men in their early twenties to Liberia to build a road through the jungle to a leper colony. This was the organization's first official mission trip.
Loren Cunningham married Darlene Scratch in 1963. By this time, the new mission had 20 volunteers stationed in various nations, and the Cunninghams were planning the mission's first "Summer of Service". Later in the year, YWAM teams were being sent to West Indies, Samoa, Hawaii, Mexico, and Central America. By 1966, there were 10 full-time YWAM staff including the Cunninghams and hundreds of summer short-term volunteers. That year YWAM ministries also began in New Zealand and | 18,219 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
Tonga.
In 1967, Cunningham began to work on his vision for the first school. It was to be the School of Evangelism, which was held in Chateau-d'Oex (Hotel Rosat), Switzerland in 1969 with 21 students. A second school which was twice as long, ran from the summer of 1969 through the summer of 1970 just outside Lausanne, Switzerland (in Chalet-A-Gobet). The students' lodging and classes took place in a newly renovated and leased hotel. By the end of the year, YWAM purchased the hotel and made Lausanne its first permanent location.
The School of Evangelism was formed in 1974 in New Jersey as well as Lausanne. With a focus on biblical foundations and character development as well as missions, much | 18,220 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
of the material from this course is now taught in the present day Discipleship Training School (DTS). A format of three months of lectures followed by two or three months of outreach is still used in most Discipleship Training Schools today.
By 1970, YWAM had a total of 40 full-time staff. In early 1972, a small team headed to Munich, Germany, to begin preparations for an outreach during the 1972 Summer Olympics. YWAM had about 1000 people there for the outreach. This was the first of many YWAM Olympic outreaches.
The University of the Nations online magazine has stated that Cunningham met scientist and professor Howard V. Malmstadt at a conference in 1974. They started giving educational | 18,221 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
seminars together, and Cunningham asked Malmstadt to help expand the training arm of the mission. In 1977 YWAM purchased the Pacific Empress Hotel in Kona, Hawaii, and began renovations to turn it into the campus for what was initially called the Pacific and Asia Christian University—the forerunner of University of the Nations.
By 1978, YWAM's Mercy Ships ministry was launched with the commissioning of the ship "Anastasis" (the Greek word for Resurrection). In 1984 the m/v Good Samaritan was added, in 1990 the m/v Pacific Ruby, then in 1994 the m/v Caribbean Mercy and then in 2001 the m/v Pacific Link. Mercy Ships was pioneered by YWAM but in 2003 was released as a separate organization. A | 18,222 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
New Zealand-based YWAM ship ministry, formerly a part of Mercy Ships called Marine Reach, which owned and operated the m/v Pacific Link continued to remain within the YWAM family and, over time, a number of ship equipped ministries sprouted up as part of the YWAM Ships network.
By the end of the 1980s, YWAM changed the name of its university to University of the Nations (U of N). The concept of a YWAM university that would encompass training programs in hundreds of YWAM locations was developed by Cunningham and Malmstadt. When communist regimes in Eastern Europe began to fall in the early 1990s, Youth with a Mission began outreaches to countries there, including Albania.
By 2000, YWAM had | 18,223 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
over 11,000 staff from over 130 countries and had become almost 50 percent non-Western. Reflecting this diversity, in 1999, New Zealander Frank Naea, who has Samoan and Māori parentage, was chosen to become YWAM's first non-white president in 2000, replacing Jim Stier, who was to continue as international director of evangelism and frontier missions and national director for Brazil. In 2000, YWAM developed a new role of Executive chairman, which Jim Stier stepped into, and made the presidency a three-year rotating position. However, at a meeting in 2011 the organization's elders did away with the titles director, chairman, and president, in reference to all leadership roles except at the local | 18,224 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
level. By 2006, YWAM had joined the International Orality Network (ION), a multi-agency outreach effort to "the world's non-literate masses", employing verbal and dramatic means to introduce the Gospel to populations which do not read. In 2008, a number of mission organizations and church mission departments, including YWAM, started the Call To All movement, dedicated to completing the Great Commission in our time.
# Structure.
YWAM leaders characterize the organization as a "family of ministries" rather than a structured, hierarchical entity. YWAM's website describes how each of YWAM's 1000+ operating centers is responsible for determining which training programs it will conduct, the character | 18,225 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
and destination of its outreaches, personnel recruitment, financial sustainment, and ministerial priorities.
YWAM sources cite the following characteristic as common to all operating locations:
A) The pre-requisite of the Discipleship Training School (DTS) for all staff.
B) The mandate to "Know God and Make Him Known".
C) A threefold ministry of evangelism, mercy ministry and training/discipleship.
D) A shared statement of faith, vision, and values.
Accountability is maintained through a relationship based eldership network and through the agreed YWAM core values.
# Doctrine and practices.
According to its Statement of Faith Youth With A Mission “affirms the Bible as the authoritative | 18,226 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
word of God and, with the Holy Spirit's inspiration, the absolute reference point for every aspect of life and ministry.”
YWAM teachers and leaders emphasize the following conduct in response to what they understand to be God's initiative of salvation toward humanity:
A) Worship: A calling to praise and worship God alone.
B) Holiness: A calling to lead holy and righteous lives that exemplify the nature and character of God.
C) Witness: A calling to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with those who do not know Him.
D) Prayer: A calling to engage in intercessory prayer for the people and causes on God's heart, including standing against evil in every form.
E) Fellowship: A calling to commit | 18,227 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
to the Church in both its local nurturing expression and its mobile multiplying expression.
## Values and philosophy.
YWAM's values are spelled out in a document titled, "The Foundational Values of Youth With A Mission". Officially, “These shared beliefs and values are the guiding principles for both the past and future growth of our mission... They are values we hold in high regard which determine who we are, how we live and how we make decisions.” In February 2004, the Global Leadership Team released a revised statement of YWAM’s Foundational Values. A summary of these is as follows:
1) Know God, 2) Make God Known, 3) Hear God's Voice, 4) Practice Worship and Intercessory Prayer, 5) Be | 18,228 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
Visionary, 6) Champion Young People, 7) Be Broad-Structured and Decentralized, 8) Be International and Interdenominational, 9) Have a Biblical Worldview 10) Function in Teams, 11) Exhibit Servant Leadership, 12) Do First, Then Teach, 13) Be Relationship-Oriented, 14) Value The Individual, 15) Value Families 16) Practice dependence on God, 17) Practice Hospitality 18) Communicate with integrity
# Programs.
## Evangelism.
Sports camps, drama presentations, musical events, volunteering, and other creative and performing arts are among the avenues through which volunteers and staff share their Christian faith.

## Training.
The purpose of YWAM training programs is to develop the students' relationship with God and with others, to help them find God's purpose for their lives, empowering them to live Christ-like lives no matter what their vocation might be. An important concept to YWAM teaching is the notion of societal "spheres of influence", such as education, government, arts and entertainment, | 18,233 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
media and communication, business and commerce, family, and church. YWAM aims to train and equip Christians to become influential within these spheres.
The various training schools of YWAM are organized under the structure of The University of the Nations (U of N). The U of N offers modular courses which in the USA are accredited via bi-lateral arrangements with other higher education institutions, rather than by accrediting agencies. In some nations, e.g. Australia, certain YWAM courses are recognized by accrediting agencies. Most schools in the U of N system have a three-month lecture phase which is then followed by a two- to three-month field assignment.
### INfusion Youth Camp.
INfusion | 18,234 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
is a summer camp offered to youth ages 13-18 in Kona, Hawaii. The program has been running for approximately 10 years. INfusion is a 10-day program that takes place on the University of the Nations Kona campus. It has also been offered in Orange County, California. The focus of this program is to encourage high school aged students to engage in their spiritual growth in a more personal and profound way, and prime them to reenter their daily lives with a God-centered mindset. INfusion's vision is that "It's their [student's] chance to fall in love with Jesus and make Him the center of everything that they do". In addition, INfusion offers various "Passion Groups" for students to join, including | 18,235 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
preaching/leadership, media, music, and sports.
### Discipleship Training School.
The Discipleship Training School (DTS) is YWAM's entry-level training. DTSs are run in YWAM centers around the world with the purpose of teaching students about God and His purposes for humankind. The DTS encourages personal intellectual and spiritual growth and seeks to help graduates find their place serving God in the world. It also provides a foundation for students to continue their education through the U of N. The DTS generally lasts 5–6 months and consists of a 3-month lecture/study phase followed by a 2–3-month evangelistic/service outreach. Some YWAM locations have utilized the relationship teachings | 18,236 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
and authorship of Eric Ludy within their given DTS program.
Many centers run DTS's that emphasize certain parts of the world or specific ministry strategies which help students use their skills and talents in world missions. DTS's are operated according to the guidelines of the YWAM International DTS Centre, which was established to maintain and enhance excellence in DTS programs worldwide in accordance with the DTS purpose and curriculum guidelines set by the International Leadership of Youth with a Mission and the U of N.
### Biblical Training.
The School of Biblical Studies (SBS) is one of YWAM's many Bible training programs. Other Bible training programs offered by YWAM include the School | 18,237 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
of the Bible (SOTB), Bible School for the Nations (BSN), School of Biblical Foundations (SBF) and the Bible Core Course (BCC). SBS was founded by Ron and Judy Smith in September 1981 in Kona, Hawaii. The program is a nine-month course that uses the inductive method to study all 66 books of the Protestant Bible. SBS worldwide has now conducted about 500 schools in the last twenty-five years and have trained somewhere between 7,000 and 10,000 students. SOTB is an 11-month course that includes a 9-month lecture phase and a 6-week outreach. SOTB uses many methods to study through the entire Protestant Bible, including Inductive method (historical-grammatical approach), word studies, topical studies, | 18,238 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
key charts, and literary analysis among others. Other topics include effectively communicating the Bible, leadership, cross-cultural communicating and teaching skills, understanding worldviews, church history, and Biblical principles of government, education and economics. The Bible Core Course had formerly been named the School of Biblical Studies Core Course and is a three-month school compatible with the longer SBS. Students can either take the three-month BCC and continue on to finish the last six months of the SBS, or they can finish the BCC as a stand-alone course.
Titus Project is one of the field assignments for graduates of any SBS. It includes a 3-week teacher training time that focuses | 18,239 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
on the basics of preparing and presenting the Bible in the most effective way.
## Mercy Ministries.
YWAM works to help meet the practical and physical needs of the global community through its many relief and development initiatives, collectively known as Mercy Ministries International. These various YWAM ministries are spread throughout most of the locations that YWAM missionaries live and work, and range in scope from serving the poor through local feeding programs to international disaster relief teams that work in places of great need, such as the 2004 tsunami and the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
### Ship-based ministries.
YWAM ship equipped ministries, the maritime arm of YWAM's Mercy Ministries, | 18,240 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
uses ships to bring physical and spiritual healing to the poor and needy. YWAM ships have provided vitally important surgeries, dental care, medical supplies, food, seeds, construction materials, development projects, training, and their message to the isolated islands and rivers of the world.
Mercy Ships was the original ship-based relief ministry of YWAM, and the new ship-equipped ministries grew from the foundations laid by the Mercy Ships vision and expansive ministry. Mercy Ships is now operationally separated from YWAM. New Zealand based YWAM ship ministry, formerly a part of Mercy Ships called Marine Reach, which owned and operated the m/v Pacific Link continued to remain within YWAM | 18,241 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
family.
Since 2003 several other YWAM ship equipped ministries have sprouted up which are part of a growing network around the world. There are now 21 vessels in the YWAM Ships network, with more being added regularly. YWAM Ships are currently spread out from the Ob River in Siberia, Mediterranean, Colombia, Amazon River, Peru, Panama, Hawaii, Micronesia, The Marshall Islands, Alaska, New Zealand, Australia, and Papua New Guinea. Each vessel is independently owned and operated by different YWAM locations, each having their own board of directors and raising their own funds. YWAM Ship vessels include river boats, coastal ships, yachts, research vessels, small cruise ships and catamarans.

Relief and development.
Youth with a Mission teams internationally are involved in many relief and development ministries. Some of these ministries are under the purview of Mercy Ministries International, while many operate autonomously as simple ways of serving a local community. One of the more widely noted mercy-focused ministries is ARMS (Australian Relief & Mercy Services Ltd). ARMS (which also uses the branding 'Australian Mercy') is the Mercy Ministry arm of Youth with a Mission, Australia. ARMS is a registered Christian development and aid organization that cares for the poor and needy both within Australia and overseas. ARMS works in nations such as East Timor, Indonesia, Cambodia, | 18,243 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
Thailand, Burma, India, Zambia, Vietnam and China. It provides medical support to communities as well as disaster relief teams that serve in natural disasters and war zones. It also supports preschools and orphanages in poor communities, runs primary health care programs, and is also involved in building and construction, water and agricultural projects. In recent years ARMS has launched the Buzz Off campaign against malaria.
### Women's rights and protection.
In 2009 ARMS launched the Donna McDermid memorial fund a funding initiative to help address gender injustice issues and sexual abuse in the developing world. The fund seeks to raise the profile of issues such as, bride burning, female | 18,244 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
genital mutilation, child brides, breast ironing, sexual abuse, sex trafficking.
### Disaster relief.
Various YWAM ministries took part in relief efforts in Louisiana and surrounding states after Hurricane Katrina and Rita.
Youth with a Mission was also involved in disaster relief and grief counseling after the 2004 tsunami. tsunami relief by YWAM staff took place in India, Thailand, and Indonesia in both the immediate aftermath of the tsunami and is reported to still continue in some areas.
Flooding in Pakistan in 2007 in the Sindh province prompted a response by twenty Muslim, Christian, and Hindu volunteers led by YWAM Pakistan. They were assisted by an appeal made through YWAM London's | 18,245 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
disaster relief|relief office. Various YWAM entities in Pakistan were able to distribute food for a month to 3,000 of the 150,000 homeless survivors there.
Additionally, the ARMS ministry RescueNet has sent medical and SAR interventions teams to Iraq in 2003, Philippines in 2004, Pakistan in 2006, Samoa 2009, Indonesia 2009 and Haiti 2010. ARMS has also sent intervention medical teams to East Timor in 2006.
Hurricane Katrina flooded all eleven of YWAM New Orleans' buildings. Personnel were evacuated to YWAM bases in Baton Rouge and Tyler, Texas, where volunteers in their MercyWorks relief arm prepared to take food, "baby items" and water to victims once access was granted to relief workers | 18,246 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
by the National Guard. Earlier that year, YWAM lodgings in Phuket, Thailand were destroyed by the tsunami of 26 December 2004.
### Disease prevention and treatment.
In Uganda, YWAM is working with villagers to provide relief for HIV/AIDS. They have established orphanages and are ensuring children are educated. British singer, Lemar visited the project in Soroti in 2007.
In 2007, ARMS announced a new ministry focus – an international campaign against Malaria called Buzz Off. The campaign is aimed at empowering smaller NGOs and ministries working in Malaria endemic nations to tackle the problem of Malaria at the local level. In from 2009 to 2010 Buzz Off fed resources into Burmese Internally | 18,247 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
Displaced People camps providing LLIN mosquito nets into IDP areas through already established health networks. Some funding organizations in Australia are getting behind the work that Buzz Off is doing with the IDPs.
### Other mercy ministry Initiatives.
YWAM San Diego is actively involved in building homes for families in Mexico through its Homes of Hope ministry. According to Sean Lambert, president of YWAM San Diego/Baja, teams participating with his base have built 2,084 homes for needy families since 1991. Teams purchase the housing materials and, optionally, furniture. These teams then travel to Tijuana or Ensenada, Mexico to build the house with YWAM staff overseeing the project. In | 18,248 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
recent years the work has expanded throughout the Caribbean into the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, and Panama. According to their website, Homes of Hope has built a total of 4,300 homes in 16 different nations.
## Youth ministries.
Despite its historical and value emphasis on young people, YWAM involves people of all ages. However, there is still a core emphasis on youth ministry. While YWAM has many programs focusing on youth ministry, within the larger organization it has developed three transnational ministries for youth: Mission Adventures (MA), King's Kids International (KKI) and Youth Street. YWAM holds an annual spring event offering free dentistry to children in Lindale, TX. | 18,249 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
The ministry is first come, first served; while thousands are given free treatment, thousands more are turned away, sometimes coming from many states away. In 1973, Pastor David E. Ross founded YWAM Korea, and has launched a campus ministry where word meditation sessions, prayer meetings and worship services are held on campus. Currently, in South Korea, total of 120 universities have YWAM campus ministries with 150 assistant administrators and 8 university disciples training schools.
## Film projects.
YWAM Missionary Lee Isaac Chung's film Munyurangabo (Liberation Day) earned "Un Certain Regard" at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival. Chung cast two street kids whom he found through YWAM's soccer-outreach | 18,250 |

program as the stars of a film that dealt with the moral and emotional repercussions of the Rwandan Genocide.
David Loren Cunningham, son of the group's founders, recently produced a controversial film titled , which contains a depiction of infanticide among Amazonian tribes of Brazil. The film gave new vigor to the debate on human rights regarding indigenous people.
YWAM also runs film and acting courses, which are offered in places like Kona,Hawaii and Brisbane, Australia.
Create International, a media ministry of Youth with a Mission, has produced documentary and evangelistic films for over 50 of the world's least reached people groups. These films are free for all Christian workers to | 18,251 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
utilize in their evangelism and church planting efforts among unreached peoples. These films can be downloaded on their website at http://www.indigitech.net Create International has initiated a campaign called the, "20/20 Vision" which plans to create partnerships with local churches, media professionals, and other mission agencies "To produce and distribute an indigenous evangelistic audio-visual tool for every one of the Least Evangelized Mega Peoples by the year 2020, so that all can clearly see and understand the gospel message and embrace it as their own". http://www.global2020vision.com
# Associations and working relationships.

1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
partnerships. Former chairman Lynn Green recently reported that YWAM representatives sometimes sit "on boards of other commissions" and organizations.
YWAM also works closely with various missions and churches, as well as independent missionaries across the globe. Through these connections, YWAM has sometimes grown by taking over local independent ministries. One example of this is the story of its affiliate in Korea, Jesus Evangelism Team, which joined YWAM in the early 1980s.
A notable working relationship is the OneStory Project which is a partnership between YWAM, Campus Crusade for Christ, the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, Trans World Radio, and Wycliffe | 18,253 |

# Mainstream News Reports.
## 2007 Shooting Incident.
A gunman identified as an expelled YWAM student, | 18,255 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
Matthew Murray, shot four staff members at the missionary training center near Denver in the early morning hours on December 9, 2007, killing two.
YWAM's School of Writing director Janice Rogers noted that internationally, YWAM had been the victim of violent offenders before, including homicides and other violent acts, although this was the first act of aggression against the mission on US soil.
## 2017 UofN Embezzlement Charges.
In January 2018, Pablo Rivera, the chief financial officer for University of the Nations at YWAM-Kona, pled guilty to wire fraud. [https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/ex-hawaii-school-official-sentenced-for-fraud/ [7]] Rivera embezzled nearly 3.1 million dollars, | 18,256 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
amounting to $50,000 per month. According to the YWAM school leadership, in order to compensate for the fraud, increased charges were applied to volunteers and students.

# Political Affiliations.
Youth with A Mission has no official political affiliations. The YWAM.org website states: "Individual YWAM staff and students come from a wide variety of political backgrounds and affiliations."
## Accusations of Political Activity.
In 1989, Sara Diamond's book "Spiritual Warfare" mentioned a meeting in the United States between various Christian leaders (including YWAM Founder Loren Cunningham) and Efraín Ríos Montt, who led a coup in Guatemala from 1982-1983, implying a connection with Christian evangelicalism. Diamond also suggested that YWAM "sought to gain influence within the Republican party."
In 2009, YWAM was linked to property used for hosting Bible | 18,258 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
studies, prayer meetings, and as boarding facilities for members of the US Congress.
## Doctrines on Redeeming Culture.
In 1975, YWAM's founder Loren Cunningham, along with Bill Bright of Campus Crusade spoke of the importance of influencing seven main segments or spheres of society and culture (Family, Celebration, Religion, Government, Education, Science, Media). One of these segments included "fighting a spiritual battle to redeem the area of government". While the group maintains that it's teachings aimed only to promote moral service for Christian citizens, others interpreted the segment as an effort to influence secular governance with evangelical Christian ideals.
# Controversies.
## | 18,259 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
Concerning treatment of YWAM volunteers.
There have been complaints about the way some people have been treated by authority figures during their time in YWAM.
For example, the website of the International Cultic Studies Association hosts an article which describes in some detail an experience of spiritual abuse on a DTS course in Hawaii. In this incident the author and two other women fled in the dead of night for fear of serious damage to their mental health.
The Apologetics Index also lists a number of personal accounts of spiritual abuse within the organisation. The website's founder was himself a victim of such abuse at the hands of one of YWAM's most important leaders, Floyd McClung. | 18,260 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
Talking about McClung, the author writes: "While I have forgiven the spiritual abuse and accepted his reluctant apologies ... the abuse has had far-reaching consequences, the scars of which I still bear."
He also quotes Harold Busséll, author of "By Hook or by Crook : How Cults Lure Christians": "While living in Europe, my wife and I were involved with an Evangelical youth mission based in Switzerland. We were with the group only six weeks, but it was almost seven years before I had overcome the psychological damage caused by their cult-like control and spiritualization … Questioning a leader was considered an act of rebellion against God and His chain of command."
The Christian Research Institute | 18,261 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
also say they have received complaints about YWAM. In 1990, cult consultant Rick Ross published an evaluation of Youth with a Mission, that cited both positive and negative aspects of YWAM. After the 2007 shootings, Ross told the Fox News Network that he continued to receive occasional "serious complaints" about Youth with a Mission, but he believed it is "not a cult" ." Some of the political involvements of its founders and members have also been examined by the media.
## Theological and doctrinal concerns.
Evangelical theologians Alan Gomes and E. Calvin Beisner believe certain doctrines taught to young missionaries at some YWAM locations from the 1970s until the 1990s to be unorthodox. | 18,262 |
1402881 | Youth with a Mission | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Youth%20with%20a%20Mission | Youth with a Mission
These doctrines include Moral Government Theology. Moral Government Theology adherents such as Gordon Olson, Harry Conn and Winkie Pratney taught classes based on this teaching to young missionaries during this time period.

Gail Goodrich
Gail Charles Goodrich Jr. (born April 23, 1943) is an American retired professional basketball player in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is best known for scoring a then record 42 points for UCLA in the 1965 NCAA championship game vs. Michigan, and his part in the Los Angeles Lakers' 1971–72 season. During that season the team won a still-record 33 consecutive games, posted what was at the time the best regular season record in NBA history, and also won the franchise's first NBA championship since relocating to Los Angeles. Goodrich was the leading scorer on that team. He is also acclaimed for leading UCLA to its first two national championships under the legendary | 18,266 |
1402983 | Gail Goodrich | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gail%20Goodrich | Gail Goodrich
coach John Wooden, the first in 1963–64 being a perfect 30-0 season when he played with teammate Walt Hazzard. In 1996, 17 years after his retirement from professional basketball, Goodrich was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
# High school career.
A native of the Los Angeles area, Goodrich was the captain of the John H. Francis Polytechnic High School basketball team that dominated and won the 1961 Los Angeles City high school basketball championship. Goodrich scored 29 points in the championship game despite breaking his ankle in the third quarter.
# College career.
Goodrich has said that he had originally wanted to attend the University of Southern California (USC), | 18,267 |
1402983 | Gail Goodrich | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gail%20Goodrich | Gail Goodrich
where his father had once been a star player. But coach John Wooden of UCLA ultimately showed much more interest in Goodrich than did USC. Like many Division I colleges, USC was wary of Goodrich's short stature. He was only his junior year in high school and even at his ultimate height of , he was short by college basketball standards.
Goodrich attended UCLA, where he finished as the school's all-time leading scorer and played on the school's first two national championship teams in 1964 and 1965. He was a two-time All-America and the Helms Foundation's "Co-Player of the Year" (along with Princeton's Bill Bradley) in 1965.
In the 1965 NCAA championship game, he scored a record 42 points as | 18,268 |
1402983 | Gail Goodrich | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gail%20Goodrich | Gail Goodrich
UCLA beat favored Michigan. This record stood until 1973 when UCLA's Bill Walton scored 44 in the finals vs. Memphis State, and through 2007 it is still the second-highest total by a player in the championship game. While at UCLA, Goodrich was also a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity.
A tenacious and fiery competitor, Goodrich used intelligent ball-handling skills and excellent court vision to lead two of the most successful teams in college basketball history. The left-handed junior guard was the team's main scorer. He finished with an average of 21.5 points per game and guided the 1963–64 UCLA Bruins to a 30-0 record. For the first time, a UCLA team won all 30 of its games en route to | 18,269 |
1402983 | Gail Goodrich | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gail%20Goodrich | Gail Goodrich
the school's first NCAA title. Goodrich and Keith Erickson were the only returning starters from the team that won UCLA's first national title in 1964. As a senior, the Bruins repeated as NCAA champions as Goodrich scored 24.6 points per game. At UCLA, Goodrich helped compile a 78-11 three-year record. In both of those championship seasons, Goodrich was named to the NCAA Final Four All-Tournament team. Goodrich at the time finished as UCLA's all-time leading scorer (1,690 points) which is now broken by Don MacLean (2,608 points).
# NBA career.
## Los Angeles Lakers.
Although many believed Goodrich was too small for the college game and too frail for the pros, Goodrich, through perseverance | 18,270 |
1402983 | Gail Goodrich | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gail%20Goodrich | Gail Goodrich
and discipline, proved his doubters wrong. Goodrich was nicknamed "Stumpy", a moniker bestowed upon him by teammate Elgin Baylor, because of Goodrich's height and short legs.
Goodrich was a territorial pick by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1965 NBA draft. As a rookie in 1965–66, he averaged about 15 minutes per game as a reserve guard behind starters Jerry West and former UCLA teammate Walt Hazzard (later known as Mahdi Abdul-Rahman). Goodrich posted averages of 7.8 points per game (ppg), 2.0 rebounds per game (rpg) and 1.6 assists per game (apg). On December 23, 1965, he scored a personal single-game best of 25 points against the San Francisco Warriors. The Lakers advanced to the NBA finals, | 18,271 |
1402983 | Gail Goodrich | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gail%20Goodrich | Gail Goodrich
where they lost in seven games to the Boston Celtics.
In 1966–67, his playing time increased to over 23 minutes per game as he divided time with Hazzard at guard opposite West. Goodrich posted averages of 12.4 ppg, 3.3 rpg and 2.7 apg. In the first game of the season he scored a career-high 30 points in a game against the Baltimore Bullets, a feat which he duplicated six weeks later against the Chicago Bulls.
In 1967–68, his third season, Goodrich's playing time increased again, to 26 minutes per game, although it wasn't without frustration as he returned to a reserve role backing up guard Archie Clark opposite West. Goodrich averaged 13.8 ppg, 2.5 rpg and 2.6 apg. The Lakers returned to the | 18,272 |
1402983 | Gail Goodrich | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gail%20Goodrich | Gail Goodrich
NBA Finals, but they again fell to the Celtics in six games.
## Phoenix Suns.
In 1968, the Lakers lost Goodrich to the Phoenix Suns in the expansion draft, and he quickly became the star of the new franchise and a favorite among Suns fans. A full-time starter for the first time in his NBA career in 1968–69, Goodrich showed what was to come as he scored at least 22 points in each of the Suns' first 11 games. In December 1968, he exploded for 40 points against the Warriors, but topped that later with 43 against the Bulls and, on March 9, 1969, he scored 47 against the San Diego Rockets. For the season, Goodrich scored 23.8 points per game — sixth in the league and tops on his team. He surprised | 18,273 |
1402983 | Gail Goodrich | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gail%20Goodrich | Gail Goodrich
critics who had labeled him a gunner by ranking seventh in assists with 6.4 per game along with 5.4 rpg. He was selected to play in the 1969 NBA All-Star Game. In 1969–70, Goodrich scored 20.0 ppg and 7.5 apg (both tops on the team). After the season, on May 20, 1970, he was traded back to the Lakers in exchange for Mel Counts.
## Return to the Lakers.
For the 1970–71 season, now as a Lakers starter alongside Jerry West, Goodrich averaged 17.5 ppg as the Lakers advanced to the Western Conference Finals.
The 1971–72 Lakers season was one that would go down in history, with Goodrich a major factor. Goodrich, playing all 82 games, averaged a career-high 25.9 ppg, including 28 games of 30 points | 18,274 |
1402983 | Gail Goodrich | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gail%20Goodrich | Gail Goodrich
or more, to go with 3.6 rpg and 4.5 apg. The Lakers posted an NBA-record 33 consecutive wins en route to an NBA-best 69-13 record led by Goodrich and fellow future Hall-of-Famers Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, and Elgin Baylor (although Baylor was out most of the year due to injury). The Lakers advanced to the NBA Finals, where they dismantled the New York Knicks in five games to win the NBA championship as Goodrich averaged a series-leading 25.6 ppg.
Goodrich led the Lakers in scoring in 1971–72, 1972–73, 1973–74, and 1974–75. From the 1968–69 season through the 1975–76 season, Goodrich scored an average of 22.4 points a game, among the best in the NBA during that period, while also averaging | 18,275 |
1402983 | Gail Goodrich | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gail%20Goodrich | Gail Goodrich
over five assists per game.
The 1973–74 season was the best all-around season in his career. He was first-team All-NBA and again an all-star. He scored over 2,000 points and averaged 25.3 points a game — fourth in the league in scoring — while leading the NBA in free throws made and free throw attempts as he drove the basket perhaps more than at any point in his career. On October 28, 1973 he fired in a career-high 49 points against the Portland Trail Blazers. In 1973–74, he was in the second year of earning $180,000 per season.
Goodrich, then 31, dropped about for the 1974–75 season stating, "I decided prior to this season that I would lose about 10 pounds to get down to my college playing | 18,276 |
1402983 | Gail Goodrich | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gail%20Goodrich | Gail Goodrich
weight of 172 ... I'm sure it helps with my quickness and my stamina." Goodrich led the Lakers in scoring with a 22.6 per game average. On March 28, 1975, for the first time in his career, Goodrich topped 50 points in a game with 53 against the Kansas City-Omaha Kings.
Goodrich held out in the fall of 1975 and missed the first four games while playing out his option to become a free agent the following season. In the 1975–76 season, Goodrich switched roles, becoming the "playmaking" guard rather than the "shooting guard", switching spots with Lucius Allen. Goodrich had played a similar role in Phoenix, but during his time with Jerry West, Goodrich was the shooting guard. Ironically, Allen was | 18,277 |
1402983 | Gail Goodrich | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gail%20Goodrich | Gail Goodrich
the shooting guard when he played with Oscar Robertson on the champion Milwaukee Bucks team. So, both were familiar with the roles. According to a Long Beach newspaper, the switch worked and "did wonders for a slumping Laker team". That same season the Lakers had acquired Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to upgrade the center position from previous center Elmore Smith.
## Utah/New Orleans Jazz.
On August 6, 1976, Goodrich signed a three-year contract, reportedly worth $1.4 million, with the New Orleans Jazz, where he teamed in the backcourt with Pete Maravich. Early in the 1976–77 season, Goodrich sustained an Achilles heel injury that required surgery. In January 1977, Goodrich filed a lawsuit against | 18,278 |
1402983 | Gail Goodrich | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gail%20Goodrich | Gail Goodrich
the Lakers, alleging that he was shorted over $150,000 of his $275,000 1975–76 season salary due to fines for missing training camp and for pre-season and some regular season games. The lawsuit also asked for $75,000 punitive damages, stating that the fines were a "breach of contract". He rehabilitated the leg and prepared hard for the 1977–78 season and it seemingly paid off as he averaged 16.1 points a game and shot a career-best .495 from the field as a 34-year-old guard.
He played one final campaign in 1978–79, the 14th of his career. After averaging 12.7 ppg in 74 games, Goodrich retired, having scored 19,181 career points.
His impact upon the Lakers franchise extended far beyond his | 18,279 |
1402983 | Gail Goodrich | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gail%20Goodrich | Gail Goodrich
playing years. When he signed with the Jazz in 1976, per league rules at the time, the Lakers were to receive compensation for losing a veteran free agent. The Lakers and Jazz agreed to send New Orleans' regular first-round pick from the 1979 draft to Los Angeles (along with first-round picks in 1977 and 1978 and an additional second-round pick). When the Jazz finished the 1978–79 season with the worst record in the NBA, the Lakers were eligible for one of the top two picks of that draft. Until 1985, the two teams with the worst records flipped a coin to determine which team would receive the top pick. The Lakers won the coin flip against the Chicago Bulls, who selected David Greenwood second. | 18,280 |
1402983 | Gail Goodrich | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gail%20Goodrich | Gail Goodrich
The Lakers selected Magic Johnson. They used the first round pick in 1977 for Kenny Carr and they traded the 1978 first round selection to Boston, who took Freeman Williams.
# Legacy.
For his career, Goodrich was a five-time All-Star and was All-NBA in 1973–74. He is still the third all-time scorer among lefties in NBA history. At the time of his retirement in 1979, Goodrich was 11th all-time in scoring and 10th all-time in assists.
Goodrich ranks among all-time Lakers leaders in several categories, including total points (sixth, 13,044), assists (seventh, 2,863), free throws made (seventh, 2,830) and games played (ninth, 687).
On November 20, 1996, the Lakers retired his #25 jersey, with | 18,281 |
1402983 | Gail Goodrich | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gail%20Goodrich | Gail Goodrich
then-Laker star Eddie Jones changing his jersey number from 25 to 6. In 2003, Poly High held a ceremony to retire his #12. On December 18, 2004, UCLA retired his #25.
# Personal life.
After his basketball career, Goodrich and his second wife, Toni, eventually settled in Greenwich, Connecticut. He has three children from his first marriage—a son and twin daughters. Goodrich became an executive with a golf course management company, American Golf Corporation in Santa Monica, California. In 1996, he left American Golf and became the president of National Fairways, a golf company in Greenwich. In his tenure at National Fairways, Goodrich purchased Forsgate Country Club in New Jersey in partnership | 18,282 |

905793 | Hawksbill Station | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hawksbill%20Station | Hawksbill Station
Hawksbill Station
Hawksbill Station is a science fiction novel by American writer Robert Silverberg. The novel is an expanded version of a short story first published in "Galaxy Science Fiction" in August 1967. The novel was published in 1968 and was released in the United Kingdom under the title "The Anvil of Time".
# Synopsis.
Hawksbill Station was a penal colony in the Precambrian era created by an authoritarian United States government, using time travel to exile rebels and political dissidents into the past. The colony houses only male exiles, who are sent there as a "humane" alternative to execution. The machine only works one way, leaving prisoners marooned in the past.
The prison | 18,285 |
905793 | Hawksbill Station | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hawksbill%20Station | Hawksbill Station
is set in a barren coastal area. The novel focuses on the relationships between the main character, the "de facto" leader of the colony, and his nemesis in the government Dr. Hawksbill, both of whom were leading dissidents. It also explores the petty ideological differences among the prisoners and the confused circumstances leading to the establishment of the authoritarian government.
The prisoners, all middle-aged or elderly, are surprised by the arrival of a much younger prisoner. The newcomer, supposedly an economist, is questioned about economic theory and political ideology. His answers reveal his essential ignorance of both. This ignorance, combined with his youth, cause the prisoners | 18,286 |
905793 | Hawksbill Station | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hawksbill%20Station | Hawksbill Station
to wonder if he is, in fact, a political prisoner or a common criminal, exiled for a heinous crime.
When the newcomer arrives via the time machine a second time, it is revealed that he is a police officer of a new government that overthrew the authoritarian government but was unrelated to the dissident movements of the exiles. The new government discovered the existence of Hawksbill Station and a way to travel from past to future, making it possible to retrieve prisoners from the colony. The newcomer has been sent to evaluate the prisoners and to recommend whether they are appropriate for retrieval.
With return now possible, the leader of the exiles realizes that he is a time traveler of a | 18,287 |
905793 | Hawksbill Station | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hawksbill%20Station | Hawksbill Station
different sort. The struggle against the authoritarian government, his life's work, is over. His closest friends in the movement, as well as his most bitter enemies, are dead. He is tempted to visit the newcomer's future, but Hawksbill Station is now the only existence he knows.
# Reception.
"Algis Budrys" said that "Hawksbill Station" was Silverberg's best story.
"Hawksbill Station" was credited by Jeff Vogel, a small indie game developer, as having influenced the design for his game "Exile: Escape from the Pit", saying that while most of the game's plotlines were his, this classic short story helped shape his ideas.

Beiersdorf
Beiersdorf AG is a German multinational company that manufactures personal-care products and pressure-sensitive adhesives. Its brands include Elastoplast, Eucerin (makers of Aquaphor), Labello, La Prairie, Nivea and tesa (tesa tape).
Although its shares are publicly listed, Beiersdorf is controlled by Maxingvest AG (parent company of Tchibo), which directly owns 50.49% of shares.
# Corporate structure and business segments.
Beiersdorf is organized in two separate business segments: "consumer business" and "tesa". The consumer business segments focuses on skin care, while the tesa business, on self-adhesive products. Besides Nivea, Beiersdorf is owner of different other brands like | 18,290 |
1402986 | Beiersdorf | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Beiersdorf | Beiersdorf
8x4, Eucerin, Labello, La Prairie, Hansaplast and Florena.
In 1974, the company introduced a divisional organization for cosmed, medical, pharma and tesa. In 1989, the divisional organization was changed into skin care, adhesive products and wound care. The product range of Nivea as well as of tesa was expanded. Especially Nivea products - the typical cream as well as sun creams, anti age products and baby care. In April 2001, the tesa business segment was founded as an independent unit within Beiersdorf. tesa focuses on developing solutions for its customers, offering about 6.500 different self-adhesive products.
Beiersdorf has several Corporate Social Responsibility projects like the global | 18,291 |
1402986 | Beiersdorf | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Beiersdorf | Beiersdorf
social initiative "Nivea cares for family". The company works with NGOs and organizations in an attempt to improve the lives of disadvantaged families.
# Affiliates worldwide.
Beiersdorf is a global company with more than 150 affiliates worldwide. Its headquarters are located in Hamburg, Germany, as well as their research centre where new products are developed. With Nivea and Labello, the company has two strong brands from the first day and developed quickly into an international company. Due to the Second World War, the process of expansion temporarily stopped. It took some years to come back on the international stage as Beiersdorf had to rebuy the trademark rights. But at the end of the | 18,292 |
1402986 | Beiersdorf | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Beiersdorf | Beiersdorf
1990s, 70 percent of the company’s sales revenue was being generated outside Germany. Today, the company is a global player with its 150 affiliates and 17,000 employees worldwide. Especially Nivea is a very strong brand.
Europe is the key market with 58 locations but the company keeps building its presence in markets around the world. The site in Vienna is being developed to a centre for Central and Eastern Europe. Regional research centres are located in Wuhan (China) and Silao (Mexico) so the scientists are able to respond more effectively to the needs of the local markets.
# History.
## The first steps.
The company was founded in 1882 by pharmacist Paul Carl Beiersdorf in Hamburg and | 18,293 |
1402986 | Beiersdorf | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Beiersdorf | Beiersdorf
sold to Oscar Troplowitz in 1890. Paul C. Beiersdorf's patent for the manufacture of coated plasters, dated 28 March 1882, is regarded as the foundation date of the company.
In 1909, their first lip care stick, named Labello, was launched. Troplowitz kept working with his scientific consultant Paul Gerson Unna and the German chemist Isaac Lifschütz on a new skin care cream. As Lifschütz found the emulsifier Eucerit (= "the beautiful wax"), the basic ingredient of the Nivea Creme was finally there, and they started selling the skin care cream in December 1911.
The company kept growing: while in 1890 there were only eleven employees, in 1918 the company already employed about 500 people. In | 18,294 |
1402986 | Beiersdorf | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Beiersdorf | Beiersdorf
1892 Troplowitz bought a property for the new company's headquarter and Beiersdorf moved to Hamburg-Eimsbuettel. Due to this, the company was able to switch to a mechanical system and to expand the product range. As Troplowitz kept networking internationally, the products became known worldwide.
Dr. Oscar Troplowitz and his co-partner Dr. Otto Hanns Mankiewicz both died in 1918. Due to this, Beiersdorf had to change its legal form. Finally, on 1 June 1922 the stock company P. Beiersdorf & Co. AG was founded. In the same year Hansaplast was released. In 1925, the design of the Nivea Creme tin was changed to the blue and white tin as we know it today.
In 1928, the Beiersdorf stocks were dealt | 18,295 |
1402986 | Beiersdorf | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Beiersdorf | Beiersdorf
for the first time on the Stock Exchange in Hamburg. Globally, more than 20 production sites existed. Numerous products like shaving cream or shampoo were launched in the 1930s. When Beiersdorf celebrated its 50th company anniversary in 1932, it already employed more than 1.400 employees. In 1936, tesa was introduced as umbrella brand for self-adhesive technology. The first product was the transparent self-adhesive film known as tesa film.
## During the Second World War.
Due to the pressure of the National Socialists, in 1933 Jewish board members – like the chairman Dr. Willy Jacobsohn – had to resign. Jacobsohn emigrated to Amsterdam and managed the international subsidiaries up to the year | 18,296 |
1402986 | Beiersdorf | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Beiersdorf | Beiersdorf
1938 when he left Amsterdam and went to the US. During the Nazi-Regime, Carl Claussen was chairman and led the company through the difficult time. Elly Heuss-Knapp, married to Theodor Heuss and after the war the new First Lady of the Federal Republic of Germany, was a freelancer at Beiersdorf and responsible for important parts of the Nivea advertising. She took care of keeping the advertising messages free from Nazi ideology. After the war, most of the production sites and the administration building in Hamburg lay in ruins. Furthermore, most of the international subsidiaries had been expropriated and Beiersdorf lost the Nivea trademark rights. In 1949, Beiersdorf generated a turnover of 30 | 18,297 |
1402986 | Beiersdorf | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Beiersdorf | Beiersdorf
million Deutsche Mark.
## After the 1950s.
In 1951, the company launched its first deodorizing soap. This was the beginning of what we know today as the brand 8x4.
In the year 1972, Beiersdorf employed more than 10.000 people worldwide. In 1974 the company established a divisional organization, divided into cosmetics, medical, pharma and tesa. Also, Max Herz' heirs (Tchibo) took over a share of 25 percent of the company.
In 1981 Beiersdorf generated a turnover of 2 billion Deutsche Mark. A few years later, in 1989, the company started to change its strategic orientation to focus on three key areas: skin care, adhesives technology and wound management. Beiersdorf aligned its range of products | 18,298 |
1402986 | Beiersdorf | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Beiersdorf | Beiersdorf
according to these key areas and expanded the Nivea and tesa product ranges. The company standardized the production processes, unified the international brand policy and focused on cosmetics. The Nivea ranges were the most successful – the cream including anti-ageing, baby and sun care products.
In the 1990s, Beiersdorf repurchased the last missing trademark rights – especially in Great Britain, Australia and South Africa – and became one of the biggest skin care brands in the world. Finally, in 1997 the last trademark right was bought back by buying a majority stake of the Polish company Beiersdorf-Lechia S.A. in Poznan (today: Nivea Polska sp. z o.o.).
