The São Paulo Declaration (1998): Nothing dates more rapidly than the present
The Sao Paulo Declaration (1998) committed leisure professionals to extending Rights, Inclusion and Social Order in leisure customs and practice. The engine for this intervention consisted of the twin processes of globalization and cosmopolitanism. Both were seen as dissolving economic and political barriers. The Declaration did not make use of the term 'world society'. On the other hand it clearly defined itself to be part of a global movement that addressed leisure for all. In the last 20 years, the progress made n fulfilling the terms of the Declaration has been disappointing. Economic barriers of wealth inequality and uneven development in globalization and cosmopolitanism have blocked many aspects of the Rights, Inclusion and Order articulated in the Declaration. This paper examines how far globalization and cosmopolitanism have progressed in achieving the principle that 'all persons have the right to leisure.' It examines data on wealth inequality, debt and unemployment rates to consider some of the concrete impediments. It concludes by maintaining that there is a need to go beyond the Sao Paulo Declaration by addressing the economic and political barriers that currently prevent leisure from being a right for all

On the 27-plet unitary symmetry operator
The unitary spin-tensor operator transforming as the representation [4 2 0] in SU(3) (the 27-plet) is discussed in detail. Using a recent result for the unique (nonarbitrary) splitting of the multiplicity, complete algebraic formulas are determined for the complete 27-plet operator. Symmetry properties of the 27-plet operator are given. Applications to both particle and nuclear physics are discussed.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/32699/1/0000066.pd
World-leading science with SPIRou - the nIR spectropolarimeter / high-precision velocimeter for CFHT
SPIRou is a near-infrared (nIR) spectropolarimeter / velocimeter proposed as
a new-generation instrument for CFHT. SPIRou aims in particular at becoming
world-leader on two forefront science topics, (i) the quest for habitable
Earth-like planets around very- low-mass stars, and (ii) the study of low-mass
star and planet formation in the presence of magnetic fields. In addition to
these two main goals, SPIRou will be able to tackle many key programs, from
weather patterns on brown dwarf to solar-system planet atmospheres, to dynamo
processes in fully-convective bodies and planet habitability. The science
programs that SPIRou proposes to tackle are forefront (identified as first
priorities by most research agencies worldwide), ambitious (competitive and
complementary with science programs carried out on much larger facilities, such
as ALMA and JWST) and timely (ideally phased with complementary space missions
like TESS and CHEOPS).
SPIRou is designed to carry out its science mission with maximum efficiency
and optimum precision. More specifically, SPIRou will be able to cover a very
wide single-shot nIR spectral domain (0.98-2.35 \mu m) at a resolving power of
73.5K, providing unpolarized and polarized spectra of low-mass stars with a
~15% average throughput and a radial velocity (RV) precision of 1 m/s.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures, conference proceedings of the French Society of
