MOSCOW, March 02, /ITAR-TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. counterpart Barack Obama discussed in detail “different aspects of an extraordinary situation in Ukraine” in a telephone conversation, the Kremlin press service reported on Sunday.
The Russian president noted that Russia retained the right to protect country’s interests and Russian speakers living in Ukraine if violence spread on eastern Ukrainian regions and the Crimea. Putin stated about real threats to life and health of Russian citizens and numerous compatriots living in the country.
In reply to Obama’s concern voiced over plans on possible use of Russian armed forces in Ukraine Putin noted provocative and criminal actions by ultra-nationalistic elements that are actually encouraged by current authorities in Kiev.
The United States initiated the telephone conversation.


An open break up letter of sorts, as Illingsworth says a much needed goodbye to 2019 – the sort of year he never wishes to see repeated. The Detroit MC/producer explains that the beat was inspired by his daughter’s love for Wajatta, and that he created it by using his voice as an instrument. It makes for an interesting style and one I would be keen to hear more experimentation with. You can listen to i don’t wanna see u again below, with downloads available via Bandcamp.

Minerals have been valued throughout human history. Their strength and appearance were esteemed throughout time, but how do these precious rocks go from a diamond in the rough to the shiny workable material that consumers see? Processes for extracting ore with monetary value have been found in human history as far back as the year 973. Mineral Processing is defined as: “crushing and separating ore into valuable substances or waste by any of a variety of techniques”.
The process goal is to obtain the purest form of the targeted material as possible to ensure premium buyers are willing to pay for the purest materials. The process to get to this pure state may use different types of equipment depending on the material but follows the same basic process as we discuss below.
Typical Mineral Process Flow:
After a process of grinding and screening to get the minerals down to a workable size, the typical mineral process flow begins with washing or as many refer to it, “Enrichment”.
The purpose of enrichment is to remove impurities from the desired mineral. This can be done in a multitude of ways which are often decided on due to the chemical makeup of the mineral. For example, saleable products cannot be “washed” with water because they will dissolve. They must be cleaned with sand or other scrubbing agents.
The equipment often used for this phase are:
The second phase of mineral processing is “Separation”.
Separation is quite possibly the most important phase in this process to obtain purity as it will extract the materials with no monetary value from the targeted materials. There are several different ways to remove these materials:
Gravimetric (using gravity)
Flotation (if other materials are more buoyant than the desired material)
Leaching (if impurities are insoluble)
Once these materials are recovered there are a few ways that their value can be increased even more through dewatering, drying, calcining, and more.
There are many different ways to complete this process due to the wide variety of minerals being processed, advancements in equipment, and other requirements. General Kinematics has been working with those on the cutting edge of mineral processing for almost 60 years. We know that every process is different and pride ourselves on being leaders of innovative vibratory equipment.

According to Dr. Mace Knapp, a psychologist serving in the Nevada State Prison, a serial killer tends to have the exact same personality characteristics as that of child molesters. Furthermore, according to the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin child molestation, after rape, is one of the most under-reported crimes, with 5 to 10% of the cases ever coming to surface.
With that being said, one cannot even fathom the type of affects being molested sexually can have on a child. And worst, that we know that 95% of child molestation can be prevented and we have the means to do it, yet most of us are unaware of what can be done. We turn to therapists and physicians, professionals that can help their children and their families and the police to help keep sex offenders away but sometimes, by the time we turn to them for help, it is too late.
Parents Role in This Situation
Parents are the only individuals that can get to their children in time and keep creeps that lurk the dark corners of the street to prey on young innocent minds and destroy them in such irreprehensible way from which they can never be restored. This makes parents the only people that can save their children from child molesters and keep them at bay. Parents are the only ones that can talk to their children about things like these and how they can keep themselves safe and how their parents will always protect them no matter what.
There might be parents out there shaking their heads at talking about the bird and the bees with their 6, 7 and 8 years old without scaring them and they are right. Yet, at the same time what they do not know is that their little ones could have already been exploited, not by a stranger, but by someone they know pretty well and trust. And what is even worse, is that the children never tell and the adults never know what has happened.
Statistics have shown that 67% of children being sexually assaulted are usually under the age of 18, while 34% were under 12 years old and 14% were even younger than the tender age of 6. Furthermore, it has also come to the forefront that 96% of the time victims of sexual assault know their offenders while only a measly 4% were strangers. This fact, although astounding, is unbelievably true, which means that once again, only parents can tell them of this sort of danger and even protect them.
What Parents Can Do?
Since dangers of child molestation tends to stem from home more often than not, parents need a way to keep an eye on their children at all times. No matter where their children are, at school or over at their cousin’s birthday party, parents need to be privy to details like where their child is and who you child is with and is interacting with at all times. As we are well aware that no parent living in the current times and economy is capable of tailing their children wherever they go and wherever they are going to be because it is practically impossible and impractical too, since such a parent could potentially leave the child feeling caged and leave no room for them to grow.
Thus, the best thing to do in a situation like this is to purchase a parental monitoring app or a spy app as it is commonly called, off of the internet and install it onto your child’s smartphone. Once it is in place, you will virtually be able to keep an eye on your child wherever they are and wherever they are going to be by monitoring the spy application regularly.
Furthermore you will also be able to keep tabs on the people your child interacts with on regular basis by monitoring them through the various bugs to make sure that none of them are making any sort of moves towards you child that may be able to foreshadow any sort of nefarious intentions they might have. Hopefully, by monitoring your children closely and keenly, you would be able to keep them safe under all circumstances.

The 2007 Skirball Symposium is open to the public, with no registration fee.
Feel free to spread the word!
All of our behaviors, whether simple or complex, reflexive or contemplative, are determined by the function of synapses between neurons in our central nervous system. Defects in the formation or function of these synapses, as well as a failure to modify synaptic connections as a consequence of experience, can lead to profound behavioral disorders. This year's Skirball Symposium will present a forum for understanding how the brain solves complex computational problems, essential for normal behavior, and how defects in this processing can lead to profound and striking behavioral disorders. The speakers will discuss how the brain recognizes distinct objects in a complex visual environment, how maternal care and stress regulate behavior, how mutations in individual genes can lead to defects in neurogenesis and behavioral disorders resembling depression and schizophrenia, and how complex behaviors can be analyzed in a genetically tractable organism.

The Framingham State Rams finished up a six-game stretch that lasted April 14-19, facing off against conference opponents MCLA and Salem State and nonconference Lasell.
The Rams started off the stretch with an away game versus the MCLA Trailblazers ending in a 9-6 Framingham victory April 14.
Framingham’s left fielder, Ryan Boyle, led the way with a game-high three hits and three RBIs, collecting RBI singles in both the first and fourth innings.
Boyle earned MASCAC Player of the Week April 17. He said, “I mean, it's nice and all, but I'm more worried about what the team's doing than the personal aspect.”
Framingham’s shortstop, Steven Burbank, and second baseman, Cam Gilroy, also contributed multi-hit games, combining for five hits and three RBIs.
On the mound, Ram relief pitcher Anthony Panza closed out the victory for Framingham, striking out two Trailblazer batters and only allowing one run in three innings pitched.
The Rams headed back to Bowditch Field for a conference doubleheader with the MCLA Trailblazers April 15.
Framingham started off the first game of the doubleheader with an RBI single by Boyle to take an early 1-0 lead in the first inning.
In the bottom of the second inning, Ram center fielder Shane Costello hit an RBI single to extend Framingham’s lead to 2-0.
The Rams’ offense exploded in the fifth inning, scoring four runs on four hits to inflate their lead to 6-0.
Framingham’s starting pitcher, James Gilleran, shined on the mound, throwing a complete game and striking out 10 of the 32 batters he faced.
MCLA hit a three-run home run in the top of the seventh inning, but Gilleran and the Rams’ defense closed out Framignahm’s 6-4 victory by securing outs against the following three batters.
Gilleran said, “I just wanted to keep throwing strikes - not let anyone on base.
“I left the slider over the plate and he hit it well, but we got the win and that's really all that matters,” he added.
In the second half of the doubleheader, Burbank and Boyle hit RBIs to give Framingham a 2-0 lead.
The Trailblazers’ offense answered in the fourth and fifth innings, knocking in five runs, most notably from a three-run home run in the fifth.
The Rams battled their way back to an even 5-5 scoreline by the end of the sixth inning.
A trio of sacrifice flies by Burbank, Boyle, and Rams’ third baseman, Matthew Shaver, fueled Framingham’s comeback.
MCLA regained the lead in the seventh inning on a two-RBI double, giving them a 7-5 edge over the Rams.
In the bottom of the seventh, the first four Framingham batters of the inning reached base by either a walk, error, or hit by pitch.
The Trailblazers’ pitcher hit two more Framingham batters with pitches, bringing home the Rams’ game-tying and game-winning runs.
Framingham’s 8-7 victory over MCLA capped a three-game MASCAC conference sweep.
Head Coach Sean Callahan said, “Sweeping in this league is very hard as you can see from today, so we were super fortunate to come away with it.”
The Rams traveled to take on the Salem State Vikings in a conference doubleheader April 17.
In the first game of the doubleheader, Framingham’s offense started hot. Costello walked, Boyle doubled, and designated hitter Caleb Hendrix knocked in a run on a sacrifice fly.
Neither team scored any runs for the next four innings. Framingham clung to a 1-0 lead entering the sixth inning.
In the sixth, an RBI walk by Rams’ catcher, Ryan Plocker, and an RBI single by Costello pushed two more runs across the plate for Framingham, increasing their lead to 3-0.
The Rams kept scoring in the seventh inning. A run scored on a Salem error, combined with a two-RBI single, gave Framingham a 6-0 lead.
The Rams’ starting pitcher, Cameron Prescott, was lights out against the Vikings, allowing zero runs and striking out three batters in his six innings pitched.
Prescott said, “I control the game when I’m on the mound. I just have to stay collected and focus on getting the next out.”
Framingham’s solid offense and incredible pitching secured their 6-0 victory.
The second game of the Rams’ doubleheader with the Vikings didn’t go quite as smoothly.
Salem capitalized on early hits and walks given up by Framingham’s pitching and held a 3-0 lead after the second inning.
Burbank kept the Rams in the game with an RBI single in the third inning, bringing Framingham back within two runs.
A sacrifice fly in the fourth inning and an RBI single in the sixth inning for the Vikings extended their lead to 5-1.
The Rams rallied in the seventh inning, a Gilleran RBI double and Boyle RBI single cut the deficit to two runs, but Framingham ultimately fell 5-3.
Framingham returned home to Bowditch Field for a nonconference matchup with the Lasell University Lasers April 19.
Framingham used eight different pitchers during their battle with Lasell.
Callahan said this decision came down to “just the way that our schedule is set up.”
He added, “Today’s one of those days where everyone’s got to contribute, and you know, it worked out.”
Burbank and Hendrix led Framingham’s offense, combining for seven hits in their 10 total at bats.
Burbank got on base with a single in the first inning and later rounded the plate to add to Framingham’s early 3-0 lead.
His RBI single in the sixth inning got him on base, which allowed him to score on a ground out from Boyle. Burbank contributed another two runs in a three-run inning for the Rams.
Burbank said, “It’s more about just moving the lineup for my team - doing what we need to do.”
Among Hendrix’s hits was a two-run RBI in the eighth inning. His contribution to Framingham’s four-run inning responded to Lasell’s three-run seventh inning and secured the 11-7 victory for the Rams.
Hendrix said, “I was on deck, I knew the guy’s throwing a lot of fastballs.”
He added he had to “trust myself to put a good swing on it - happened to find the gap.”
The Rams beat the Lasers 11-7 after beating them 10-5 a week earlier. Callahn said, “We kind of kept our same consistent approach.
“I trust in our hitters and in our pitchers to throw strikes,” he added.
The Rams now hold an overall record of 18-10 and a conference record of 8-3, placing them second in the MASCAC standings.
Framingham travels to Worcester State for another MASCAC matchup April 21.

Fallout 4 was released way back in 2015, and since then, fans have been eagerly awaiting news of the follow-up title that’ll expand the franchise even further. However, Bethesda Game Studios seems to have other plans, refusing to make any real announcements. So, when is Fallout 5 coming out, and what exactly does BGS have in store for us?
Is Fallout 5 Real?
Technically, no – Fallout 5 isn’t real. At least, it hasn’t yet been developed, and as far as we know, it isn’t going to be developed any time soon. In May 2022, Bethesda’s Todd Howard explained that there’s an idea for Fallout 5 and that a ‘one-pager’ exists that essentially breaks down what the team wants from the game, but that’s as far as it goes.
This statement was dropped in an interview with IGN, and it essentially made Todd Howard the first-ever representative of Bethesda to openly use the name ‘Fallout 5’. It’s more or less inevitable that Fallout 5 will drop, given the overwhelming success of the franchise thus far, but there are some massive projects in the way of it.
For instance, in 2023, Starfield will release, and it’s penned as being one of the most highly anticipated and ambitious games in the history of the business. Not only that, but Bethesda Game Studios is also hard at work creating The Elder Scrolls VI, which has been in development for years.
These gargantuan games take priority over the next instalment in the Fallout franchise, but that could mean that any Fallout 5 release date won’t be revealed for several years to come.
Will Fallout 5 Be Multiplayer?
So, when is Fallout 5 coming out? We just don’t know. But when it does launch, will Fallout 5 be multiplayer? That’s something that we can’t confirm, either.
In 2018, Bethesda Game Studios released Fallout 76, the series’ first multiplayer title, to an underwhelming and generally disappointing reception. It was a failed title from the get-go, and it has taken years for the developer to regain some sorely lost ground with it.
It doesn’t seem likely that Bethesda Game Studios would be too eager to replicate that failure with Fallout 5, but perhaps the developer has learned from its mistakes and would deliver the next multiplayer Fallout product a little better.
For instance, fans have long desired a cooperative Fallout title rather than a massively multiplayer one, so that’s something that Bethesda Game Studios could look into.
We’d all love to know when Fallout 5 is coming out, but it seems like that all-exciting date may not arrive for several more years.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — The number of COVID-19 outbreaks at North Carolina’s nursing homes is approaching a five-month high.
It’s the most since March 15, when there were 295.
That total had climbed steadily since late April, and after it fell last week for the first time since early June, it went back up this week.
NCDHHS also reported a slight drop in the outbreak count at residential care facilities and an effectively flat number of them in correctional facilities.
The 163 outbreaks at residential care facilities was five fewer than there were last week, and the first weekly drop since early May.
There were 23 outbreaks at correctional facilities, up from 22 a week ago.
CBS 17’s Joedy McCreary has been tracking COVID-19 figures since March 2020, compiling data from federal, state, and local sources to deliver a clear snapshot of what the coronavirus situation looks like now and what it could look like in the future.

"The decision to fully deregulate diesel prices signals fiscal discipline on the part of the sovereign, which we view as credit positive."
Says, failure of Indian governments since 1984 to prosecute those involved in the "organised carnage" shows the need for police reforms and communal violence law.
Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh said efforts are on to resolve the issue and some "positive outcome" is likely in the next two to three months.
SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav today said that he shares "long and old relations" with RJD President Lalu Prasad Yadav.
The statement comes in the backdrop of five Indian fishermen being awarded death penalty by a Sri Lankan court for drug-trafficking last week.
13,610 grievances have been registered till date this year as against 12,720 recorded last year with the maximum of 2991 coming from Qatar and another 2973 from Saudi Arabia.
The Indian Consulate is in touch with local authorities and all the staffers in the consulate are safe, the spokesperson said.
Chaudhary said the government is closely monitoring the situation and has directed the intelligence agencies to identify such elements and keep a watch on their activities.

The different Ceramic Applications are: Construction, Industrial Application, Consumer Goods, Houselhold appliances, Healthcare, Renewable technologies, Electronics, Transport, Security, Defence, Aerospace.
Ceramics are made mainly from mined materials (such as clay, bauxite, magnesite), water, fire and air. The main raw material is clay, a resource available in large quantities. Technical ceramics and refractories and are made from a huge variety of raw materials such as aluminium oxide (more commonly known as alumina), magnesia, graphite, corundum and silicon carbide.
Ceramics are generally made by taking raw materials, adding additives, powders, and water, then shaping them into forms, which are dried and fired in a high-temperature oven known as a kiln.
Ceramics are essential to our modern society:
In 2021, EU citizens built almost
800,000 residential units in durable and
energy efficient clay building materials;
Every year, the consumption of ceramic
tiles (wall & floor tiles) in Europe
corresponds to a total surface area
equivalent to 115,000 football pitches!
In 2021, the number of roof tiles used to build
pitched roofs would have been enough to
cover 1.8 million tennis courts! Some tennis
courts are actually covered with recycled clay;
45 million pieces of ceramic sanitaryware
sold yearly in the EU contribute daily to
hygiene and water efficiency thanks to the
Unified Water Label;
Most high temperature industrial
processes rely on refractory ceramics.
For example, 100% of European steel is
produced with refractory ceramics!
Technical ceramics contribute to all EU
citizens’ daily lives through applications
in cars, transport, medical applications,
superconductors, electronics &
batteries, aerospace, and defense, etc.
Heat & fire resistance
Ceramics can withstand very high temperatures but are poor conductors of heat, factors that give them qualities of resistance and stability. Not only do ceramics contribute to fire safety in buildings but they are also used in many industries where high heat is essential for production, from steel to glass. Conventional ceramics are well known for their resistance to heat, being fired in kilns at temperatures well beyond 1000°C, but coarse ceramics used in industrial applications are even more heat-resistant.
Fired clay is naturally insulating. This quality, combined with a judicious design of the cells (honeycomb), means that clay wall bricks are perfectly suited to the new energy performance requirements of the building sector. In addition, the high inertia of these bricks, by offering a regulation of the interior temperature whatever the season, plays a determining role in thermal comfort.
Durability and strength
Ceramic products can last thousands of years – you only have to look at a Roman aqueduct or a Grecian urn to appreciate the amazing strength and longevity of ceramics. Today, our industry continues to manufacture cost-effective items that last a lifetime, delivering value to consumers and industries alike. Ceramics can also be recycled easily, reducing waste streams and contributing to the circular economy.
Ceramics are safe products, and the industry’s many operators throughout the supply chain adhere rigorously to the highest health and safety standards. For example, ceramic tableware and porcelain comply with European legislation on food contact materials, guaranteeing consumers health and safety.
Ceramic products are inert and do not emit substances in the indoor environment, preserving indoor air quality. They also contribute to hygiene thanks to their ease of cleaning and certain ceramic tiles have antibacterial properties.
The European ceramic industry prides itself on creating accessible, affordable products that offer a lifetime of value, whether for the consumer market and affordable housing or for hi-tech applications.
Europe’s ceramics companies are at the forefront of new technological developments in the sector – in manufacturing, design and marketing.
We make ceramic products from the simplest teacup to the most sophisticated capacitator. Creative and versatile ceramic products
strengthen the resilience of this industry.
A key component of essential and strategic value chains
Ceramics are used in various industrial processes, including energy production, chemical production and metallurgy. Ceramics play an essential role as the base of everyday household items, but technical ceramics can be found in applications from electronics, healthcare, security and transport, renewable technologies, aerospace and defense.
Continuing our path towards climate neutrality
Committed to the European Union’s climate ambition for 2030 and 2050
With its overarching European Green Deal and the legally binding European Climate Law the EU has set ambitious climate goals and has set the continent on a clear path to decarbonisation. The European Climate Law legislates the goal set out in the European Green Deal for Europe’s economy and society to become climate-neutral by 2050.
The law also sets the intermediate target of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 per cent by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. Climate neutrality by 2050 means achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions for EU countries, mainly by cutting emissions, investing in green technologies and protecting the natural environment. The European ceramic industry is fully committed to working with the European Union institutions to lead the transition to a net zero-carbon economy within the coming decades.
SHARE OF EMISSION SOURCES IN THE CERAMIC INDUSTRY IN 2020
Emissions linked to ceramics production can be broken down into three main categories:
- Fuel combustion for drying and heating process.
- Process emissions generated by mineralogical transformation of the clay (cannot be avoided completely).
- Indirect emissions, mainly from electricity production.
Around 90% of emissions comes from three sectors: bricks and roof tiles, wall and floor tiles and refractories. The proportion between the different emission types varies significantly, depending on different processes, plants, products and raw materials (particularly for process emissions which represent 30% of total emissions in the bricks and roof tiles sector and can be as high as 60% of total emissions in the clay blocks sub-segment).
Emissions reduction model
Our emissions reduction model combines a range of measures to achieve a gradual reduction of emissions to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. These include:
- A switch to renewable energy (green hydrogen, biofuels and decarbonized electricity).
- A reduction in process emissions.
- Innovation and increased efficiency in the manufacturing process.
- CO2 capture CCS/CCU.
- Other carbon removal technologies and offsetting measures.
Assumptions & external conditions
The CO2 reduction model assumes that:
- There is a constant level of production and a similar product mix between 2020 and 2050.
- The real emissions for the year 2019 were taken as a basis for the estimations, as 2019 was a more representative year in terms of production levels (due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the year 2020 was not a representative year, as the emissions were exceptionally low during this period).
- Zero-emissions technologies, especially for the firing processes, will be available in a relatively short term, so as to allow the progressive renewal of assets, whose operational lifetime often exceeds 20 to 30 years.
- All barriers regarding the availability of alternative fuels (such as green hydrogen or biogas) are overcome, and that these fuels are made available in sufficient amounts and with a competitive price throughout Europe.
- Obstacles for the technical application and availability of alternative fuels will progressively be removed from 2030 and would allow the industry to move to breakthrough solutions, such as hydrogen, biogas or electricity in equal proportions.
- A gradual decarbonisation of the power supply throughout Europe.
- Gradual availability and acceptance of CCUS
Under this vision of a climate-neutral industry, in the 2050 the European ceramic industry would have a projected energy need of around 140,000 terajoules.
Taking into account the assumptions used for the purpose of this roadmap and detailed assessments made at national level, the ceramic industry considers that by 2030, the annual decarbonisation costs will exceed €500 million. The total cumulated abatement costs until 2050 are estimated at around 27 bn EUR.
Supporting the Renovation Wave
Downstream effects/contribution of ceramics to decarbonisation during their use phase
Collectively, buildings in the EU are responsible for 40% of our energy consumption and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions.
The energy-saving potential, durability, and reusable qualities of ceramic construction materials (clay bricks, blocks, roof tiles, pavers, expanded clay, wall and floor tiles and sanitaryware) have been known for centuries. With a renewed focus on energy efficiency and circularity, the European ceramic industry will be central to reducing energy use and construction waste.
Renovation of our existing building stock and focusing on near zero energy building are paramount to meeting Europe’s decarbonization objectives. Ceramic construction materials are durable, affordable and provide comfortable, energy-efficient, safe and healthy homes to millions of people in Europe.
Ceramic construction materials provide high levels of safety in case of fire or flood. They also ensure a high indoor air quality, as no toxic emissions emanate from the building fabric into the internal environment.
Ceramic wall and roof systems not only increase comfort but reduce heating and cooling costs and emissions.
Innovative ceramic sanitary appliances contribute to water and energy efficiency, notably in the context of voluntary smart tools promoted by the industry such as the Unified Water Label.
Ceramic construction materials will be pivotal to Europe’s new near-zero energy building stock as well as its Renovation Wave.
Clay brick cavity walls and monolithic clay block walls with integrated insulation can normally reach any required insulation value by varying the insulation thickness. They also offer a maintenance-free solution for a lifetime.
Ventilated facades create an air chamber between the cladding material and the structural surface of the building. Such systems can easily be applied in renovation on any material. A building with a ventilated façade system can be in some cases 35% more energy efficient. Other benefits of ventilated facades include the reduction of dampness on walls, deterring the formation of thermal bridges and providing a comfortable indoor climate by preventing heat from escaping in winter and entering in summer, and improved sound absorption.
Circularity, Biodiversity, Zero-Pollution
The European ceramic industry supports Europe’s goal to move away from a linear ‘produce, use, waste’ model to a circular model in which resources and materials are reused, recycled, or recovered.
Resource efficiency is not only about using less, but about making better use of existing resources. Clay, our industry’s main raw material, is available in abundance. Furthermore, ceramic products are resource-efficient and stand out with their high durability thanks to their long lifespan. And after the end-of-life stage, ceramic products can be reused or recycled.
The ceramic industry is already making a major contribution to the shift towards a circular economy through innovative production processes and sustainable products – for example, by minimizing raw material consumption and waste generation during the production process, optimizing raw material selection, refining product design and promoting supply-chain cooperation for recycling.
Resource efficiency is not only about ‘using less’, but about ‘using better’. Ceramic products, and in particular ceramic construction products, are resource-efficient and have a high durability, requiring little or no maintenance. Studies show that a brick house can have an average life span of more than 150 years, as do clay pipes and buildings containing expanded clay. Research also shows that clay pavers can have a lifetime of 125 years. Sanitaryware appliances and ceramic tiles for flooring and walls can have a life span of up to 50 years, which is very high in comparison to alternative materials. Ceramic tableware and ornamentalware can last for decades.
Moreover, given the inert nature of fired clay, many ceramic products can be reused or recycled after the end-of-life stage, meeting the concept of cradle-to-cradle. In this context, the ceramic industry has developed solutions to minimise raw material consumption and waste generation during the production process, and has increased the reuse and recycling of products.
Biodiversity in action
The unique landscape, especially aquatic environments, created by quarrying operations can have a positive impact on habitats and wildlife in and around these quarries.
Examples of projects aimed at promoting or restoring biodiversity at clay quarries:
Country: The Netherlands
This joint project between Delgromij and WWF focused on the management of waterways to secure new habitats for local wildlife and to create a 290-hectare nature reserve.
Since 1985, the operators have created a network of ponds to promote biodiversity, integrated into the Natura 2000 network and boasting more than 190 bird species. When the operating licence was renewed in 2009, the protected section was increased from 13 to 36 hectares.
In order to successfully engage on this path towards climate neutrality, the ceramic industry will need:
Continued and sufficient carbon leakage protection
- Fair performance benchmarks representative of the sector-specific energy mix evolution, not penalising heterogeneous sectors and SMEs.
- Full consistency in the treatment of unsustainable use of biomass across the whole climate and energy legislative arsenal. All unjustified effect of biomass installations on the ETS benchmarks must be avoided.
- Carbon leakage protection measures should allow EU producers to remain competitive in export markets.
A carbon price incentivising investment
The CO2 price should not limit the industry’s ability to invest in technological transition and should not be affected by carbon market speculation from investors not covered by the EU ETS.
A stable, reliable legal framework
Investments in new kilns and machinery in ceramic processes are made for a period well beyond 20 years. Such long-term investments can only be made if the regulatory framework offers sufficient stability and predictability.
Sufficient financial support
Sufficient financial support both for research and innovation and for investments (CAPEX) and to mitigate higher running operational costs (OPEX). The industry should also have access to Carbon Contracts for Difference.
Secure infrastructure and a stable supply of green energy
The appropriate transportation, storage and distribution infrastructure in green energy (electricity, green H2, biogas or syngas) to ensure stable supply at a reasonable and competitive price.
Energy at a competitive price and better mechanisms to cope with energy crisis
Ensuring access to affordable energy prices, in particular in the context of energy crisis, by preventing and investigating possible anti-competitive behaviour in the energy market, promoting common energy purchase and energy stocks in the EU, and studying the functioning of the gas and electricity markets to improve the internal energy market in the mid- and long-term. Most importantly, instruments should be put into place so that appropriate financial and fiscal support or compensation can be activated on a short-term basis as soon as an energy crisis occurs.
Equal access to green energy
The EU should firmly establish and enforce a principle of sector neutrality for all decarbonised energy sources. Equal access to hydrogen and other green energy sources should be guaranteed for all end-users.
Full access to finance
Sustainable finance should be accessible to all sectors in the process of implementing their environmental and energy transition, including heterogeneous industries and SME sectors. Moreover, EU funding policy should be material-and technology-neutral.
A holistic and integrated approach to building renovation
Cerame-Unie supports the objectives of the Renovation Wave. A holistic and integrated approach is recommended to building renovation to stimulate the whole construction sector. Both renovation and new construction should be promoted.
Supporting holistic life cycle assessment schemes
Ceramic construction products manufacturers support holistic life cycle assessment schemes for buildings, such as the use of voluntary environmental product declarations (EPDs). In this context, Cerame-Unie supports the work of CEN/TC 350 and welcomes European initiatives such as Level(s).
Supporting the New European Bauhaus initiative
The European ceramic industry welcomes and supports the New European Bauhaus initiative, which aims at shaping future ways of living according to key principles of sustainability, inclusion and quality of experience, thus contributing to the wellbeing of citizens.
A framework promoting durable products
Long-lasting, reusable and/or recyclable products should be encouraged, and a whole lifecycle analysis should be binding.
Promote fair, sustainable and free trade
A strong promotion of market access, effective use of trade defence instruments and better integration of environmental considerations in trade to ensure a global level playing field.
Supporting skills & qualifications
Concrete and coherent actions are necessary for the upskilling and reskilling of the EU workforce to support the just transition process.

Missionsurf is a series of surfing programmes created by Misión México Children’s Refuge in an effort to help children from backgrounds of abuse and extreme poverty through the healing powers of surfing.
The project will also create opportunities that will benefit the children their home, Misión México, and the community of Tapachula, Mexico where the refuge is located.
Australian couple, Pam and Alan Skuse, set up the Misión México refuge in 2001 and since then it has provided a safe, loving, family home and opportunities for education to over 300 children.
Misión México has established a unique surfing community which they have pioneered in Tapachula, a coastal city with no other wave riders.
Most of the children had never seen the ocean or knew how to swim before their arrival at Misión México. But thanks to Pam and Alan’s commitment to teach the kids about water safety and basic lifesaving skills, the ocean is not just a place of fun to these children, but also, an escape from what life used to be.
Missionsurf’s aim is to become a surf identity in the area, using the surf potential of the local beach for positive community outcomes. The programme is a 3-5 year project and includes the following progressive elements:
• Surf School (launched in 2011)
• Surf Camp and Retail Shop
• Surfboard Repair Workshop
• Life Guard Services
Moacir Zeledon, now 22 years old, was abandoned at Misión México when he was a young teenager, by his mother when she crossed the border to the US in search of a better life. Along with Pam and Alan he established the Surf School in 2011; “Missionsurf has the real potential of making a difference and we are witnessing how a new generation of surfers flourished in Mexico.”
Alan Skuse commented further on Missionsurf; “The aim of the Misión México Surfing Programme is to introduce disadvantaged kids to surfing as a lifestyle in an effort to keep them away from drugs and from the streets. It will focus on giving them a second chance to enjoy their childhood along with the opportunities to live in a safe family environment and to attend school. The ultimate goal is to restore them back into society as a leading new generation.”
Missionsurf will benefit the children with opportunities for work experience and employment opportunities. It will further benefit the community of Tapachula through teaching the community about water safety, surfing skills and environmental awareness.
To top it off, Missionsurf has also made an impact on the big screen. Misión México (UK) will screen their award winning documentary Somewhere Near Tapachula at the Wave North Surf festival, in connection with the UK Pro Surf Tour Championships, on Thursday 25th, Friday 26th and Saturday 27th October in Thurso. Directed and produced by Australian surfing film makers Stefan Hunt and Jonno Durrant, this documentary follows the lives of this unique surfing community of children living at the Misión México refuge.
Deborah Grossman, Chairman of the Misión México (UK) Board, is extremely excited to bring the documentary to Thurso in October. She commented “Misión México (UK) is very proud to join the Wave North festival this year to celebrate surfing communities all over the world. Having volunteered at the Misión México children’s refuge since 2007, I have seen the transformative power of surfing first hand and this documentary offers a snap shot of how this community of orphaned, abandoned, abused and disadvantaged children find love, life and hope through their family, their education and through surfing”.
The Missionsurf programme first kicked off thanks to the financial support of the Innis Charitable foundation, surf equipment donations by Global Surf Industries and more recently the donation of land to build the surf camp by Guzman y Gomez. Now Misión México and Missionsurf are in the search of like-minded organisations to sponsor this unique surfing programme.

Shia LaBeouf Knows He Is a ‘Caricature’
The bad boy actor acknowledges what drew him to the John McEnroe biopic.
Shia LaBeouf is set to star in an upcoming biopic about temperamental tennis champion John McEnroe, and he’s really, really excited about it. If you ever wondered if LaBeouf was aware of how he is perceived by the public, you can rest assured he’s got a pretty realistic view of his own image.
In an interview with Variety, LaBeouf talks about how he was lucky that he and McEnroe’s lives had plenty of parallels to draw from. Asked what the two had in common, LeBoeuf said, “Everything in common. Passionate. Perfectionist. Narcissistic. I’m a bit of a caricature also.”
Ain’t that the truth. LaBeouf, who has worked with a number of Scandinavian directors throughout his career — including Lars von Trier and Janus Metz Pederson, who’s directing the McEnroe movie — minced no words in describing his preferences for non-American filmmaking.
“[Scandanavians] make better movies. Scandinavian filmmaking is different,” he said. “It’s a different pace, a different relationship to the crew — the bonds are different.”
Apparently, LeBoeuf is not interested in American filmmakers’ silly preoccupation with plot: “They make movies about people in Europe. In America, they make fewer films about people, more about plot. Those aren’t interesting to me.”
Okay. But what is interesting to LaBoeuf is what he apparently thinks the upcoming biopic will do for his career. “This is epic,” he said. It’s fucking epic. This is the biggest movie I’ve been in lately.”

As an inveterate Netanyahu-hater, I’ve been mildly gratified by chickens**t-gate. I am far from alone in always having seen Netanyahu as a short-term, un-strategic thinker and a deeply insecure person, someone whose politics are almost exclusively the politics of fear, and who is, himself, consumed by fears of possible negative consequences to himself of any risky decisions – but blithe to the consequences to his country’s political life of any of his self-protective maneuvers. Chickens**t is as good a word for him as any.
But, once upon a time, this was a reason why Netanyahu seemed like an unlikely figure to dominate Israeli politics. Israelis themselves could see how small he was, how inadequately he represented them. They might vote for him if they felt they had to, but they wouldn’t feel good about it – not even right-wing voters who might have voted enthusiastically for Begin or Sharon. Most other Likud politicians held him in poorly-concealed contempt.
That has changed, and I’m not sure Netanyahu’s foreign critics – or even some of his domestic ones – fully appreciate that change. Last week, Daniel Larison weighed in on why the Obama Administration leaked such contemptuous language, and the best he could come up with is spite: the Administration has given up on any progress and is just trying to make Netanyahu’s life difficult as payback for Bibi’s own meddling. But are the leaks having the desired effect? Netanyahu doesn’t seem to think so – he seems to think he gets a political benefit from being attacked by President Obama. And the evidence of recent history backs him up on this. Organs of American Jewish opinion are also starting to wonder whether the Netanyahu government has come unmoored from reality, as have a host of retired officials from Israel’s military and security services. None of this criticism shows any signs of moving the needle of Israeli public opinion in the direction the critics desire.
One may debate to what extent the Netanyahu government is to blame for the state of the Israeli public psyche, and to what extent he merely benefits from accurately reflecting the tenor of the Israeli times. But the fact remains: he does reflect it accurately. The Israeli public is not pushing the government to address its growing international isolation because it has fully internalized the notion that all-but-universal hatred is inevitable. Criticism from American Jews, even from traditionally more center-right quarters, falls on deaf ears because such criticism just proves that American Jews, safely an ocean away from the front lines, don’t understand the risks Israelis face. The circle is closed.
Obviously, not all Israelis feel this way; there’s a spectrum of opinion everywhere. But in my view, Netanyahu is correctly assessing the domestic political environment he faces. He helped create it, after all. This is not 1991, and Netanyahu is not Shamir. And those who think that Israel is pursuing a course with grave long-term risks have a much tougher task than simply leaning on a particularly recalcitrant leader.

Board considers allowing limited use vehicles on town roadways
ARKPORT — Seeing the success that communities like Andover have experienced with permitting all terrain vehicles (ATV) to access some town roads, Hornellsville officials hope to present a Limited Use Vehicle law at a public hearing in the future.
The topic of permitting side-by-sides and ATVs on town roads has been discussed during recent Hornellsville Town Board meetings, including at the council’s Nov. 12 session. Currently, these types of vehicles are prohibited from using town roads, although enforcement is questionable, based on comments officials made at last week’s meeting.
Deputy Supervisor James Giglio and Highway Superintendent Jason Emo have led the outreach to Andover, learning about its law and meeting with the owner of the Tall Pines ATV Park.
According to Allegany County economic development officials, Andover and neighboring communities have benefited from Tall Pines' growth, due, in part, to the 2011 Town of Andover ATV Law or LUV (Limited Use Vehicle) Law.
The LUV Law adopted in Andover, Whitesville, Jasper, Troupsburg, and Greenwood governs the use of ATVs and UTVs on town highways. Limited use vehicles that are registered and insured are able to use specified roads to access businesses within Andover.
In Hornellsville, Giglio told board members that town attorney Joseph Pelych is studying a proposed law as well as looking over what Andover has on the books.
Emo believes regulations similar to Andover’s would work well for Hornellsville.
“We went over and looked at Andover’s (law), and theirs is very good,” Emo said. “It's simple. It’s clear. We’d like to do something that’s very similar because it would be nice if all of the surrounding towns that want to participate in this would be very close to the same laws.”
Giglio said Hornellsville would like to “get something going to where we could get this on the books and have a public hearing.”
Formalizing a road use law is important, Giglio said, “So everybody would be covered as far as what we can and can’t do, what you’re liable for, what they’re liable for.
“It’s not only going to be to protect us, it is going to be to protect the riders, too. Right now, there’s nothing out there.”
There’s no law, but that doesn’t mean there are no vehicles of this type on town roads.
“They’re out there riding on them anyway,” Emo said. “This town is very unique because you have the Cunningham Creek area. You have people that absolutely want to ride down there. You have Laine Road. Those people want to ride. Crosby Creek – it’s not like you can exempt any place. There are several Arkportians right now who ride them over to the Village Café and here in town.”
Emo said discussions with law enforcement and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation have been favorable.
In Andover, Tall Pines ATV Park drew over 12,000 visitors to Allegany County in 2018, according to economic development officials.
“Tall Pines ATV Park is a unique asset to Allegany County in the way it’s able to attract visitors and in its potential to affect economic development within the county,” Allegany County Economic Development Director Craig Clark said earlier this year.
While there is no equivalent to Tall Pines in Hornellsville, officials do foresee economic benefits from putting a law in place. If neighboring towns enact laws permitting ATVs on the books, a trail connecting Hornellsville to Andover or even Wellsville is not out of the question, officials said.
“It’s not going to be a big money maker for the town, but it’s going to be a bigger money maker for the surrounding businesses, local businesses as far as gas, food, hotels,” Giglio predicted.
Supervisor Dan Broughton said the next step in the process is finalizing a Hornellsville law to present at a public hearing. No timeline was specified.

Revolution roll on training wheels
FOXBOROUGH -- There is more than chance involved in the fact that the Los Angeles Galaxy have started three seasons with eight-game unbeaten streaks. Climate certainly has been a positive factor in their preseason preparations, just as it has been a negative factor for the Revolution.
But the Revolution have become the fifth team to start a Major League Soccer season with an eight-game unbeaten streak, the first to do so in five years, and they have done so in spite of difficult weather conditions. The Revolution (6-0-2), who will host Colorado Saturday, have had difficulty accepting the fact that they cannot prepare for the season without getting accustomed to practicing indoors and traveling far south of New England.
Their preseason training is conducted in virtual anonymity, often on another continent, and when the season opens, it becomes the extension of a long road trip. This year, the team traveled to Bermuda and Ecuador, then went to San Jose for the season opener. This might seem like an exciting and exotic itinerary, but it also can be draining. Consider the seven-hour round trip by bus on the Pan-American Highway to play a game on the Peruvian border, followed by an early wakeup call and a scramble to the Guayaquil airport because the team bus is a no-show.
The team benefited, though, and not just from the favorable climate. The adversity of training in Ecuador helped in the bonding of the team and also exposed the qualities of Michael Parkhurst and James Riley, key parts of the defense. In Bermuda, the Revolution discovered Khano Smith, who now is playing an important role as a midfielder-striker.
''How you start doesn't guarantee how you are going to finish," said Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis, who played for the Galaxy from 1998-2002. ''We have finished the season strong after starting poorly the last couple of years. What it says is that we have a good group of guys who are good players from top to bottom.
''But every team is a couple of injuries away from really struggling for the rest of the year. As long as we are healthy, we should be all right."
Many factors have contributed to the Revolution's fast start. Among the most crucial is the way coach Steve Nicol and assistant Paul Mariner have optimized training sessions, which will help the team remain fresh at the end of the season.
Training sessions never extend more than two hours, including a 15-minute warmup and a 15- to 30-minute wind down. The team is rarely in a two-a-day practice mode, even during preseason conditioning. Nor does Nicol become frustrated or resort to punitive measures when the team is performing poorly. The Revolution have earned 20 points in eight games, well ahead of last year's pace, when they did not surpass 20 points until mid-August. Practices have barely changed since last season, though the mood of the team understandably has improved.
And consistency and patience are paying off. The Revolution established a core group of players in 2003 and have maintained that base. Four starters from the 2002 MLS Cup final team remain with the team, and Reis, who was a reserve for the Galaxy in that match, has proven to be more than a symbol of good fortune. His mobility and foot skills have enabled the Revolution to play a 3-5-2 formation, maximizing their midfield threat.
''With two new teams, it has thinned out the talent pool a little bit," Reis said. ''Teams that made a lot of changes in the offseason are struggling early. Teams like ourselves, which did not make a lot of changes, have benefited."
Revolution tactics are no longer conservative. The team is in attack mode from the start, and opponents are attempting to find ways to short-circuit the midfield.
''We have tried to emphasize passing the ball, keeping it on the ground," Reis said. ''That makes it easier on everyone because we are not just launching the ball upfield. The pressure is going to be on us in the back, but we know this is going to happen sometimes, and with our athleticism, we can cover with three in the back, if we are getting solid play from our midfielders and they are limiting the other team's passes to the forwards. The midfield is our driving force, they are all so dynamic and interchangeable in their roles."
Brazilian midfielder Cassio played the entire game as the Revolution took a 4-0 win over the Greater Boston Bolts Under 19 team yesterday. Luke Vercollone (18th minute), Jamie Holmes (50th), Tony Anderson (63d), and Felix Brillant (72d) scored. ''This is the first time I have played 90 minutes in a while," said Cassio, who played in the season opener but has been out with a turf toe injury since then. ''So, that was good. I was prepared to play last week but I was still a little sore, and I am hoping to have the opportunity to play [Saturday]." Riley (hamstring strain) performed in the first half and is probable for Saturday.

Pride Films and Plays Revives Long-Lost Gay Play
RICHMOND JIM by Cal Yeomans
Pride Films and Plays is thrilled to present Cal Yeomans's award-winning but long-lost play Richmond Jim to celebrate Pride Month. Richmond Jim will be featured in The National Pastime Theater’s Naked July: Art Stripped Down summer festival at National Pastime Theater and runs June 29 to August 10.
As the play opens, a young man newly arrived in New York finds himself in the arms of Mike, an older man well-versed in the various pleasures of the body, and an erotic metamorphosis begins. The powerful slice-of-life drama offers "interesting statements about youth and innocence and how quickly both can disappear," according to the San Francisco Crusader. Robert Chesley, who later went on to write the gay classic Jerker, called it "the first genuine gay play."
Richmond Jim stars PFP Ensemble Members Kris Hyland (as Jim) and Jamie Smith (as Biddy) with Chris Kossen as Mike. David Zak directs, with costumes by John Nasca. Sound design is by Alex St. John, with movement by Steve Love. Lighting Design is by Garvin Jellison, with Charles O’Malley as Stage Manager, and Fernando Alverez as Assistant Stage Manager.
"As we explore our mission to develop 'what's new and who's next' in LGBT plays and screenplays," says PFP's Executive Director David Zak, "we have also had the chance to explore important writing that has come before. When I first read Richmond Jim, I felt strongly that this play - which is a wonderful reflection of gay life before AIDS - would touch those who lived through this period, and teach those who have been born since."
Richmond Jim was originally produced by Theatre Rhinoceros, was named as Best Gay Play of the Year, was chosen to play at the First National Gay Arts Festival in NYC in 1980, and won San Francisco's 1980 Cable Car Award for Outstanding Achievement in Drama. It has not been produced since 1983.
Playwright Cal Yeomans was one of the founders of gay theatre. His plays were not only manifestations of the sexual liberation of the times, but were also attempts to overcome what he had been raised to despise, written at the pivotal moment of gay history between the Stonewall riots and the AIDS epidemic. In addition to Richmond Jim, his works include At the End of the Road, In the Shadow of a Rainbow, The Line Forms to the Rear, and many others. Yeomans died in 2001 at age 63.
Yeomans is the subject of the biography Queer Theatre and the Legacy of Cal Yeomans by Robert. A. Schanke, which Andrew Holleran describes as "an absorbing gay history--psychological, social, sexual, and cultural--expertly informed by Schanke's knowledge of the theatre. . . . It's an amazing story." Schanke is the author of Shattered Applause: The Lives of Eva Le Gallienne, which was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award. His book That Furious Lesbian: The Story of Mercedes de Acosta won the ForeWord magazine Book of the Year award in the best gay and lesbian nonfiction category. He co-edited Passing Performances: Queer Readings of Leading Players in American Theater History, Staging Desire: Queer Readings of American Theater History, and The Gay and Lesbian Theatrical Legacy.
Richmond Jim plays on Fridays and Saturdays at midnight on June 29 and 30, July 6 and 7, and August 3 and 4. Performances at 8 pm are slated for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, July 10 - 12, Thursday, July 19, Tuesday and Wednesday, July 24 and 25, Wednesday and Thursday, August 7 and 8.

Last month we celebrated Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Here at the companies of OneAmerica, we are “proud to be pink” and even prouder that we have been insuring breast cancer survivors for more than 25 years.
This time of the year always makes me thankful for the women in my personal life — and my professional one as well. Women are playing a major role in our industry. Once male-dominated, the financial services industry is increasingly becoming female-friendly. I am happy to point out that our top female producers are making great strides and helping change the demographic of the industry.
Why is it important for female producers to be front-and-center?
Even though women are gaining financial independence — now making up the majority of college grads, accounting for over half the US labor force and becoming the primary breadwinners of their households — women continue to feel less confident than men in their understanding of financial products.
The blame can be partly attributed to our industry, which overwhelmingly caters to men in the way it presents and discusses information and products. Women feel left out of the conversation, so it never hurts to have a female financial professional in their corner to help guide them through their financial journey.
And that financial journey begins with a solid relationship built on trust. Mary Lyons, one of our top female producers and associate general agent with the Personal Economics Group in Texas, was recently featured by LifeHealthPro.com in an article entitled “Why 6 female producers love their job.”
As a financial professional, you need to take the time to develop deeper relationships with female clients. Mary is all about building relationships and taking care of her clients rather than just selling them products – this has helped her business to excel beyond expectation. Why? “Because you know who notices and appreciates that sort of attitude? You got it: women.”
