text: Background: Globodera rostochiensis belongs to major potato pathogens with a sophisticated mechanism of interaction with roots of the host plants. Resistance of commercial varieties is commonly based on specific R genes introgressed from natural populations of related wild species and from native potato varieties grown in the Andean highlands. Investigation of molecular resistance mechanisms and screening the natural populations for novel R genes are important for both fundamental knowledge on plant pathogen interactions and breeding for durable resistance. Here we exploited the Solanum phureja accessions collected in South America with contrasting resistance to G. rostochiensis. Results: The infestation of S. phureja with G. rostochiensis juveniles resulted in wounding stress followed by activation of cell division and tissue regeneration processes. Unlike the susceptible S. phureja genotype, the resistant accession reacted by rapid induction of variety of stress response related genes. This chain of molecular events accompanies the hypersensitive response at the juveniles’ invasion sites and provides high-level resistance. Transcriptomic analysis also revealed considerable differences between the analyzed S. phureja genotypes and the reference genome. Conclusion: The molecular processes in plant roots associated with changes in gene expression patterns in response to G. rostochiensis infestation and establishment of either resistant or susceptible phenotypes are discussed. De novo transcriptome assembling is considered as an important tool for discovery of novel resistance traits in S. phureja accessions.

Chile By Jane Chambers Catholic News Service Posted March 27, 2017
SANTA ROSA DE LAVADERO, Chile (CNS) Parishioners in this rural town used lessons learned after the 2010 earthquake, as well as teamwork and a dose of faith, to help survive Chiles worst forest fires in history.
They also cited help from church-run organizations and a visiting priest who listened to their stories.
Santa Rosa is in the rural Maule region in southern Chile, one of the areas worst-affected fire areas. Throughout the country, more than 90 different fires killed 11 people, scorched nearly 445,000 acres, destroyed hundreds of homes and ruined livelihoods.
The communities in Maule were difficult to get to, especially with the fires, so residents put out the fires themselves with their own tools and sometimes even with twigs and branches whatever they could find.
We all felt so panicked, because the hills were burning above us. We couldnt sleep at night, Gabriela Rodriguez Alarcon, a resident of Santa Rosa de Lavadero, told Catholic News Service. The fires lasted for 15 days and were extremely traumatic, especially for the children, who didnt know what was going on. We, the older generation, had to keep strong for them, but it was difficult.
Rodriguez had tears pouring down her face as she described how one little girl could not face the sight of firefighters or hear sirens anymore because she was so traumatized.
She said her faith helped her throughout. God is always with us, you have to have faith at times like this. My daughter cried and cried, she just wanted to leave, but I said, No, we have to faith that God will help us. And he did, Santa Rosa managed to save their homes and the hills above them.
I spent all my time going up and down the hills with buckets of water to help the firemen and the men in our village. I am an old granny with arthritis, and I am limping now with a really sore leg, but at the time I didnt feel anything. We just had to keep going to put the fire out, Rodriguez told CNS.
Ana Maria Araya Venegas cited long-term help from the Regional Center for Technical and Business Assistance, known by its Spanish acronym as CRATE. The CRATE foundation is run by a coalition of church groups, including the Diocese of Talca and the Chilean bishops conference.
After the earthquake in 2010, most of the old-fashioned adobe houses were destroyed. CRATE gave us the money to rebuild, said Araya.
CRATE has taught us that organization and prevention are key. After the earthquake, they sent people to give us really important workshops, where we were taught about how to prevent another disaster. Basic things like cleaning dry leaves, grass and twigs around our houses so that the flames cant come so close, she said, adding that the advice was essential during the recent fires.
Romualdo Aburto Loyola, the foundations area coordinator for sustainable development, recognized the residents effort and used a $20,000 grant from the Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance to help them after the fire.
They have been so brave and many of their tools are completely ruined, thats why we have decided to give them new (tool) kits, Aburto said. Representatives of CRATE and Caritas, the churchs charitable network, visited local communities to give out the new tools.
My things were completely ruined from all the use they got during the fire, so its great to have a new rake, gloves, a helmet, goggles and a backpack to carry water, said Luis Figueroa Pardo, a local resident.
Many say that the fires were worse than the earthquake because the flames and smoke destroyed everything. In many parts of the region, burned pine trees and ash are all that remain on the hillsides. Cows and horses have been reduced to eating ashes. Many people work in the forestry industry, and their livelihoods were wiped out.
Although no one knows how the fires started, rumors are rife that the fires were intentional. Many residents have feelings of great sadness that people could do such a thing.
Although the local church was destroyed in the earthquake, there is a section where people attend Mass. Because the community is so small, there is no permanent priest, but one who travels among surrounding parishes.
Aburto told CNS that, during a recent Mass, instead of preaching, the priest asked people to talk about their experiences.
CRATE also offers a therapist to help with the stress people are experiencing.
Aburto remains hopeful.
Part of my work for CRATE is advising people. I think it is better for them to be more diverse, rather than relying on one crop like the pine industry. Many of them have been forced to go back to their roots, and that is no bad thing, he said. They can grow a variety of crops, keep chickens and bees. We are helping them to get back on their feet for a more sustainable future.

The 18th of July 2012 saw us celebrate the 94th birthday of a legend Mr Nelson Mandela and every year all around the world people celebrate the day with him by giving back 67 minutes of their time to help better their community.
This year I decided to give a whole day to the cause instead of just 67 minutes. On the 29th of July the CheeseKids Foundation put together an event where that actually took people out to homes and communities that were in need of help either painting, gardening or even distributing food. And then brought everyone back for an amazing concert in Marie Fitzgerald square.
So after a pretty quick registration process and my T-shirt and goodies acquired I set off to Museum Africa where I join other volunteers as we repainted the graffiti stained wall of the Museum. After a good 3 hours the area we were assigned looked fantastically pink (I say fantastic because the choice of pink really was “Fantastic!!!!”)
The day was concluded with an amazing concert that I was lucky enough to MC, completely covered in paint (including my hair), along sides my “crazE” co-presenter Zola Hashatsi and the beautiful Stacey Holland from Etv’s Sunrise.
The crowd was treated to performances by the likes of:
GB Collective (By the way… the lead singer Greg Borowsky is gorgeous!!!)
Dance Crew the Reptiles
All in all it was an amazing successful day that I really and truly hope will get more people involved in the movement and take part next year.

One day after an attack by al-Qaida affiliate al-Shabaab on a base in Kenya left a U.S. soldier and two American contractors dead, a contingent of crisis response troops has arrived in the region, officials said.
The Sunday morning attack at Manda Bay, Kenya, came on the heels of a Dec. 28 attack by al-Shabaab on civilians in Mogadishu, Somalia, in which 80 people died. Al-Shabaab also took credit for that attack.
Between 50 and 100 U.S. troops with the East Africa Response Force (EARF) were deployed to Manda Bay, U.S. Africa Command spokeswoman Samantha Reho told Military.com. The number represents a sizable reinforcing element, as AFRICOM officials have said fewer than 150 American troops were at Camp Simba on Manda Bay prior to the attack.
The response force, which falls under Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa, based in Djibouti, is equipped for military operations including protecting Americans and U.S. diplomatic facilities, supporting noncombatant evacuations, providing humanitarian assistance and disaster relief and "other missions as directed," according to an AFRICOM release.
It's one of a number of response force elements created in response to the Sept. 11, 2012, terror attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead.
In a previous mission, EARF deployed to Libreville, Gabon, in January 2019 to monitor expected unrest in an adjacent country, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
As attention has focused on the Middle East in the wake of a U.S. strike that killed Iranian Quds Force Commander Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, AFRICOM officials said they have had to battle misinformation about Sunday's deadly attack in Kenya.
"Contrary to various open source reports, U.S. Africa Command does not assess yesterday's attack by al-Shabaab is linked to Iran," officials said in a release. "While Iranian involvement is not suspected in the attack, U.S. Africa Command has observed other nations, including Iran, seek increased influence in the Horn of Africa."
AFRICOM also issued a statement Monday from the commanding officer, Army Gen. Stephen Townsend, addressing false rumors that he had been killed in the al-Shabaab attack.
"Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated," Townsend said. "This is yet another example of the lies, propaganda and fake news coming from al-Shabaab and other malign actors such as Iran and its proxies."

A new story in the Mongolian Wizard universe.
The Arctic wastes stretched wide in every direction, vast and irregular plains of ice which seemed to have no end. At their center, barely visible in the weak light provided by a sliver of sun at the horizon, was a rapidly moving sled. It was pulled by eight dogs with a single wolf at their lead, and ridden by a large man bundled in Sami furs.
Ritter welcomed the cold and hardship as an opportunity to test his manhood against Nature at its harshest. The scarf wrapped about his lower face was stiff with ice frozen from the moisture of his exhalations and what little of his skin was exposed to the air felt numb. When he bit off a mitten and pressed a hand over his eyebrows, the flesh beneath was warmed to life again and began to sting. The air was still and that, he had to admit, was good for it allowed Freki to follow the scent of their prey with ease.
He had pursued the half-man from Europe and was prepared to pursue him to the Pole if necessary. He was sure it would not be, however, for the traces of the homunculus’s passage had not been erased from the snows. Ritter was close on his trail.
A nub appeared on the horizon.
Ritter drew up the sled and, taking out a pair of binoculars superior to anything he could have imagined a year ago, studied the anomaly. Under magnification, it revealed itself to be a canvas tent that had been insulated by stacking up blocks of snow on all sides and piling more loose snow over its top.
Methodically, Ritter disentangled the sled dogs from the harness. Then he gave them a mental push to trot back a mile or so the way they had come and wait for him. If he died, his hold over the dogs would cease and then they must do their best to survive on their own. Ritter was not sure that they could. But at least they would have a chance.
He heaped snow over the sled, so that it looked like any other unimportant lump of landscape, then lay down behind it where he could not be seen. He was far from convinced such precautions were necessary. But he had underestimated the creature’s abilities in Helsinki and would not do so again.
Then he sent Freki ahead to serve as his ambassador.
The wolf loped across the snow and, upon reaching the tent, scrabbled at the canvas door. Then, when hands from within pushed it open, he rolled over on his back, exposing his stomach.
The homunculus looked down on the wolf and smiled. Kneeling, he stroked the animal’s underside and scratched it behind one ear. So far as Ritter could tell, he did not project his consciousness into Freki’s mind for even an instant. Nevertheless, the creature said aloud, “You are a diplomatic fellow, whoever you are. Come and talk to me. I promise no harm will come to you.”
Ritter stood, brushing off snow, and began the long trudge toward the tent.

“The safest thing would be to kill him on sight,” Sir Toby had said. He and Ritter were in his London office, a walnut-paneled room frowsty with cigar smoke and casual treachery.
“I am no assassin. If murder is your intent, send a professional.”
“So I did, three of them. This is no ordinary man. Indeed, by most accounts, he is hardly a man at all.”
In Ritter’s experience, when his superior emphasized the inhuman nature of an opponent, whether physical, mental, or moral, he intended actions such as no decent man would visit on a fellow member of human society. Scowling, he said, “How do you mean?”
“He is a homunculus—an artificial man. There were reports—as reliable as such things can ever be—that the Mongolian Wizard had created a being with powers exceeding even his own. You will read them on your way to Helsinki. He is reputedly of great stature, inhumanly strong, and capable of wielding every known form of magic. For reasons yet unknown, this prodigy broke free of his creator and fled westward. There were several desperate attempts to recapture him. That caught our interest. Then his pursuers simply turned around and went home. Which by itself convinced me that such a being is too dangerous to be allowed loose in the world. While on the run, he somehow managed to acquire a great deal of wealth. Currently, he is using it to provision a ship. A schooner awaits you at the docks. If you leave immediately, you can intercept him before he departs for wherever he is bound.” Sir Toby fell silent. After a long pause, he said irritably, “Why are you still here?”
“I’m not sure I understand what you expect of me.”
“Use your own judgment. You have a certain…flexibility in these matters.”
Ritter had never before been accused of flexibility. He decided to receive the declaration as praise. Nevertheless, he said, “If I must kill him, I will. However, I require full autonomy in this affair. It is entirely possible I will end up letting this fellow remain alive and at large.”
Sir Toby sighed. “So be it.”
“I am prepared to offer you asylum,” Ritter said, “in exchange for what you know about the Mongolian Wizard. You will be given a modest stipend for as long as you need it, an apartment of your own, assistance in finding work, a new identity. By this time next year, you will be a citizen of London like any other.”
The homunculus laughed. “A grotesque like me?”
“You are a little tall, perhaps. But not beyond the range of human possibility.”
“It was you who shot at me at the docks, wasn’t it?”
“I had no choice. You rebuffed my invitation to parlay and the ship was pulling out.” Watching the man’s eyes and seeing in them no trace of intemperance, Ritter decided to take a chance. “I hit you too. You grimaced, clutched your chest, and bent over. I am certain that I saw blood. But when you straightened again, it was gone.”
“You hit my heart, yes. Any other man would have died then and there. But I did not. Would you like me to tell you why?”
“It is my most fervent hope that you will.”
“I was born by immaculate conception.” The homunculus was a handsome fellow, though his extreme height—he was a good eight feet tall—rendered even that alarming. He had given Ritter a barrel of salt pork for a chair and himself sat cross-legged on his sleeping pallet, putting their eyes on the same level. “Do you know how that works?”
“I am afraid that I do not.”
“It is a gruesome process. First the skeleton is assembled from the living bones of various animals. Human bones would not do, for it was desired to give me the features and physiognomy of a god. Bones taken from dead creatures would be…dead. So animals were required to suffer. It took a phalanx of surgical wizards just to keep the skeleton viable while muscles and cartilage were attached, nerves grown to interlace the flesh, organs coaxed into interaction, skin convinced to cover all…More magical talents were employed in my creation than for any other single purpose in human history. It is doubtful that anyone but my father—for so I consider him—could have arranged for such a thing. And even he had to effectively bring the war to a standstill to free up the resources necessary for it.”
“I’m sorry—which war was this?”
“The current one. Difficult though this may be for you to believe, I was created barely six months ago.” The homunculus proceeded to tell his tale.
My earliest memories are of combat. Day after day, I was drilled to exhaustion in all the martial arts. My father I never saw. His place was taken by a weapons master, a pompous but capable Austrian named Netzke who taught me to fight with dagger, sword, pistol, rifle, and singlestick. Specialists were brought in to train me in fisticuffs and various other forms of bare-handed combat. Herr Waffenmeister Netzke worked me hard. At the time, I had the understanding of a child for I was mere weeks old, and it did not occur to me that I had any choice but to obey him.
At night, as I was falling asleep, I heard voices. At first, they were a soft murmuring, as of a not very distant sea. But day by day they grew louder and more insistent, as if they were saying something I needed to know but could not understand.
When I asked Netzke about the sounds and what they meant, instead of raising his fist to strike me as I’d more than half expected, he looked thoughtful. “They mean we must accelerate your training,” he said, and the very next day he brought in a wizard to tutor me in pyrokinetics—a much more likable fellow than Netzke by far, the Margrave von und zu Venusberg.
A harsh cry involuntarily escaped Ritter’s lips.
“I’m sorry, is the margrave someone you knew?”
“He is my uncle. A most excellent man and one who disappeared when Bavaria was overrun. I can scarce believe he would betray his own country. I…No, pray continue. Forgive me for interrupting.”
The homunculus placed a hand on Ritter’s shoulder. “He would not have had any say in the matter. The Mongolian Wizard has ways of converting talented people to his cause. But allow me to return to my story and, though it is not a happy one, perhaps you will find some small measure of comfort in it.”
It was the margrave who convinced Netzke that I was being overworked. “You are like the swordsmith who heats his creation red hot,” he said, “and then quenches it in oil, only to return it to the furnace again, back and forth, over and over, until the metal is so brittle it will break with the first blow struck in battle. Your charge has a brain—he must learn to use it as well as his brawn.”
Hearing the logic of those words, Netzke agreed, though reluctantly. So the margrave set out to teach me how to read. After the first hour of his ministrations, I grew impatient. “Explain to me the principles of this skill,” I demanded. And when he had done so, I astonished him by picking up the text he was using as an exemplar, Caesar’s Commentaries on the Gallic War, and reading the first several pages aloud.
Thus, I gained access to my father’s library.
I was in Heaven. In short order, I read Milton’s Paradise Lost, Plutarch’s Lives, and, most sublime of all, The Sorrows of Young Werther. From there, I went on to Rousseau and Kant and Locke and Descartes and Spinoza and Hobbes and, oh, so many more! I entered the library little more than an animal. Reading books made me human.
Perhaps it was coincidence, perhaps not. That evening something broke open within me. I realized that the sounds I heard were words, though neither spoken nor written. I was eavesdropping on the private thoughts of those around me: their fears, greeds, lusts, hatreds…It was not a pleasant experience. Much of this, I have since learned, came from my being in a nexus of worldly power, which necessarily drew to it, like flies to rotting meat, the worst exemplars of humankind. But even in the best of men there are dark thoughts and unwelcome fantasies. Had I lived in a monastery, the minds of the holy brothers would have been a torment to endure. And, having mastered literacy, my weapons training began anew. Only now, understanding—or so I thought—their intent, the exercises were repugnant to me.
At such a miserable time, your uncle was a godsend. In me, I think, he saw the mirror of his own unhappiness. We both despised our situations yet could see no way free of them. Young though I was, he spoke to me as if I were his equal, freely sharing his doubts and regrets. He was, as I am sure you know, a good man. From him I learned that to be human was not necessarily to be evil.
“Sir?” I asked him once. “Why is the world in books so much better than the world in life?”
After a long, thoughtful silence, the margrave replied, “People often relate arguments they have had and claim to have said things they only thought of later. Novels are life lived as it should have been and factual works such as essays and history are thought laid out without the false starts, blind alleys, and easy assumptions we experience in the event. That’s all.”
“I intend to think clearly the first time, and to live life without making mistakes.”
It was a callow thing to say, but the margrave only replied, “Well, perhaps you will be the first man to manage that trick. In any event, I encourage you to try.”
The margrave also taught me the rudiments of projecting fire with one’s thought, a skill I have since expanded far beyond anything he could ever have envisaged. As with reading, this skill opened new worlds to me. All forms of magic are but expressions of a single talent—I see you nodding, as if you had already suspected as much—limited only by the mental capacity of its possessor. Most people can wield this talent not at all. An elite class can, with training, master a single skill toward which they have a predisposition. And scattered here and there are a handful of extraordinary individuals who can master two or even three skills without being destroyed by them.

For the first time, Austria's Social Democrats (SPÖ) have a woman as their party leader with the unusual name Joy Pamela Rendi-Wagner. Known as ‘Pam’ in-house, she explained that her first names are due to the hippie past of her parents. ‘Yes we Pam’ were the euphoric headlines in Austria's tabloids, and the news magazine profil published a flash poll in which 32 per cent found her better suited as SPÖ chairman than her predecessor Christian Kern. Only nine per cent think it’s the other way around.
In Austria, fresh new party leaders with sky-high approval ratings are a familiar phenomenon. But the higher they are, the lower they fall when the initial euphoria is over — once their rivals take aim and the tough everyday business of politics wears them down. The half-life of an SPÖ leader has become shockingly brief. Christian Kern, who the media had celebrated as ‘Mister Cool’, led the SPÖ only from May 2016 to November 2018. Now Rendi-Wagner is taking over and will lead the SPÖ into the European Parliament elections in the spring of 2019. Then, in 2022, national elections will follow against Chancellor and Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) boss Sebastian Kurz.
Woman, doctor, mother, career changer: at first glance, Rendi-Wagner’s biography would seem made precisly for representing the SPÖ against the right-wing populist and conservative government. Currently, the SPÖ’s support oscillates between 25 and 30 per cent in opinion polls.
Highlighting the government’s shortcomings
In Kurz’s cabinet, there is a 50 per cent female quota, but all of its key protagonists are male. Kurz, his Vice Chancellor and Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) leader Heinz-Christian Strache, and notably Interior Minister Herbert Kickl (FPÖ) dominate issues of security, migration and integration. There is no women’s policy in the feminist sense, but a family policy that is geared to Austria’s dominant model of ‘dad works full-time, mom part-time’.
Who, if not a woman doubly legitimised by her own history and profession, could highlight these shortcomings? And even more so a woman who doesn’t come from the party apparatus, but from the outside and is therefore perfectly suited for representing the party’s ‘openness’?
In contrast to her appearance, Rendi-Wagner, born in Vienna in 1971, comes from a classic social democratic background, typical for those years of social upheaval in Austria’s large cities.
Nevertheless, or perhaps exactly for that reason, Rendi-Wagner is encountering a lot of skepticism from within the SPÖ.
She is an invention of Kern, the former power company and federal railroad manager, whose career and sophistication, as soon as he had to change from the Chancellor’s Office to the opposition bench, were skillfully turned against him by his opponents. ‘Old guard’, ‘insider’, and ‘power base’ are concepts that are foreign to Rendi-Wagner and Kern.
Also in style and appearance Rendi-Wagner is anything but a typical Austrian Social Democrat. In the past, the top officials of the ‘red’ party were recruited either from the strongly male trade union wing or from its women’s movement — which had a clear effect on the party’s character. The graceful, distinctive and fashion-conscious Rendi-Wagner with her chosen mode of expression, feminine taste and cool brunette bob, looks more like a French university professor than an Austrian comrade.
Her first hiring decision was to appoint the former theater manager and SPÖ Minister of Culture Thomas Drozda as the party’s Managing Director. He is, like her, a confidant of Kern whose natural bearing represents urban, bourgeois social democracy. Drozda has a possibly Herculean task to master for the party in the next two years: its headquarters has run dry of staff and expertise, and its campaigning power has been badly shaken.
However, immediately some SPÖ officials responded: ‘With all due respect, Thomas: you are a Bobo’. The abbreviation ‘Bobo’ stands for the urban educated class of the bohemian bourgeois. In present-day Austria that is still latently intellectually hostile, this is more of an expletive than a compliment. Yet one of the most important ancestors of Austrian social democracy, Victor Adler, was a Viennese bourgeois and doctor. This fact is apparently buried in the party’s history. And already for a long time Austrian social democracy has ceased to be the representative of the working class, even though many of its officials seem to pass themselves off as such. Instead, it represents the salaried and cosmopolitan academics and pensioners.
In the 2017 national elections, 59 per cent of the workers chose the FPÖ, with only 19 per cent for the SPÖ. Pensioners, accounting for 39 per cent, are the strongest red voters, followed by employees with 26 per cent. The change in constituency from the SPÖ to the FPÖ has been going on since the 1990s. With the rise of right-wing populists under Jörg Haider, the FPÖ has persisted ever since. Political scientists therefore consider it futile to win back these voters. Another permanent shift is the gender gap of the electorate. The majority of women vote SPÖ and Greens, men for the FPÖ. That in turn could provide exciting momentum for Rendi-Wagner: the SPÖ’s electoral base is feminist, and it now finally has a woman at the top.
Who is Rendi-Wagner?
In contrast to her appearance, Rendi-Wagner, born in Vienna in 1971, comes from a classic social democratic background, typical for those years of social upheaval in Austria’s large cities. Her father was a social psychologist, and her mother a kindergarten teacher. Each of them had two sons from previous relationships. Thus Pamela grew up in a patchwork family, in a public housing project in Favoriten, a working class district. Soon her mother was a single parent, as Rendi-Wagner emphasised at her first press conference.
Authenticity and charisma are more important than ever for top politicians; without question, Rendi-Wagner possesses both on the basis of her medical profession and her previous media successes.
What follows is an exemplary career of advancement thanks to diligence and education, which makes Rendi-Wagner the ideal incarnation of the great promise of social democracy.
Rendi-Wagner studied medicine. At a congress abroad, she met her future husband, diplomat Michael Rendi. The couple shared career and family as a partnership. In Vienna, Rendi-Wagner then specialised in tropical medicine. When her husband was called to Israel for an ambassadorial post, she went along, learned Hebrew and accepted a visiting lectureship at the University of Tel Aviv. In Israel, she completed her postdoctoral teaching qualification during maternity leave after the birth of her first daughter.
When Austria’s Ministry of Health announced a job opening as Head of Public Health, it was her moment to play the career card. In 2017 she was appointed by Kern as Minister of Women and Health. At the same time, he made Rendi-Wagner his number two in the election campaign. Only then does she join the party.
Is there anything like women’s issues in social democratic politics? And if yes, what are they? In the end, are they a means in the fight against right-wing demagogues? These are crucial questions that can be decided in Austria in the next few months if they have not been already. Carinthian SPÖ Governor Peter Kaiser calls Rendi-Wagner’s weapon of choice ‘the red trident’: health and social policy, gender equality, and justice.
Authenticity and charisma are more important than ever for top politicians; without question, Rendi-Wagner possesses both on the basis of her medical profession and her previous media successes. Even her opponents attest to her great political talent. Whether she will be able to prevail as the head of the opposition against the right-wing government in Austria depends above all on whether she succeeds in breaking through the permanent implementation of a state of emergency. And likewise, whether she can frame the public’s fear of losing status and security as being a matter of health, job security and equal rights rather than a question of foreigners and migration.

Manchester City are expected to make an opening bid for West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice on Thursday.
The England international is due to complete his 10-year connection with the Europa Conference League champions this summer, with a free move available in 2024.
West Ham have previously priced interested parties out of a deal for their captain, but co-chairman David Sullivan has indicated that he will be free to go this summer for the correct price.
For the previous few months, Arsenal have been considered the frontrunner to capture Rice, who is said to have informed West Ham that the Emirates Stadium is his preferred transfer destination.
Rice would be able to pursue his Champions League ambitions in North London, but Arsenal has so far been unwilling to pay West Ham’s asking price, with two proposals rejected.
The Gunners’ latest bid was thought to be in the region of £90 million, with a £75 million upfront price and £15 million in add-ons, but West Ham want as much as £100 million and possibly as much as £120 million to authorise a deal.
Manchester City could sign Rice as a replacement for Ilkay Gundogan
West Ham’s asking price isn’t the only issue Arsenal is facing right now, as The Athletic reports that Manchester City will approach the Hammers with an opening offer in the coming hours.
The Premier League and European champions have been monitoring Rice’s status with the uncertainty surrounding Ilkay Gundogan’s predicament, and the Germany international is now expected to join Barcelona when his contract at Etihad expires at the end of the month.
Mateo Kovacic of Chelsea is set to arrive in a £30 million transfer to bolster Pep Guardiola’s midfield, but a big-money move for Rice is also a possibility.
However, Arsenal remain confident that they will win the fight for the former Chelsea player, and the Gunners are poised to submit a third proposal in the aim of reaching an agreement.
Rice left Chelsea’s academy in 2013 to join West Ham, and the Blues have been rumoured to bring him back to Stamford Bridge, although they are not understood to be actively seeking a deal as they focus on outgoings.
Meanwhile, Manchester United is prioritising the acquisition of a new striker or custodian before focusing on midfield targets, and the slow-moving takeover process is also hampering their chances of success in the transfer market.
Rice has now appeared for West Ham on 245 occasions since breaking into the first-team squad, scoring 15 goals and assisting on 13 more.
Last season, the Hammers captain scored five goals and provided four assists in 50 games, leading David Moyes’ side to Europa League triumph and Premier League survival.
While Arsenal’s pursuit of Rice has been thwarted, the Gunners are believed to have struck a deal in principle to sign Chelsea’s Kai Havertz, who Mikel Arteta could use in a midfield role.

From the Royal Variety Performance to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, to India’s comedy circuit, Montreal’s Just For Laughs and UK tours with his Sponge Fest show and forthcoming Puppet Master tour, Paul Zerdin’s ventriloquism has impressed everyone from Her Majesty the Queen onwards. The UK ventriloquist’s career has included appearances on everything from the Royal Variety Performance, Paramount and Comedy Central’s, The World Stands Up to ITV Daybreak, BBC TV’s The One Show, Sky News and Jason Manford’s Comedy Rocks.
Paul Zerdin’s live shows see him bring to life several very different characters amongst whom are the cheeky pre-adolescent Sam, belligerent OAP Albert and precocious infant Baby. Zerdin, who got the ‘biggest laugh of the night’ at the Royal Variety Performance in 2009, according to audience members, also went on to get 5 star reviews at that year’s Edinburgh Festival. Paul returned to Edinburgh to sold-out houses in 2010 and made his debut at Montreal’s Just For Laughs Festival that year before embarking on a major UK tour with Sponge Fest in 2010/2011.
When Paul was 10, a family friend made him a puppet theatre which he used to put on shows. As he is the first to admit, his hobby quickly grew into an obsession. “The real turning point was when I was given a book on ventriloquism by the legendary Ray Alan. By the time I hit my teens I was spending half an hour a day in front of the mirror practicing talking without moving my lips.” Having failed his GCSE’s, Zerdin got a job in a magic shop, developing his magic skills along the way. Simultaneously, he was also developing a sideline as a children’s entertainer.
Zerdin made his TV debut as a magician on the BBC’s Tricky Business and shortly afterwards, at the age of just 20, landed a two year contract presenting the Disney produced kids’ programme Rise and Shine for GMTV.
In 1996, Paul was the first outright winner – by over 100,000 votes of LWT’s The Big Big Talent Show, hosted by Jonathan Ross. The experience not only raised his profile, but introduced him to Nigel Lythgoe, the man who would go on to create reality shows such as Popstars and American Idol. Lythgoe took the 22 year old Paul under his wing, paving the way for appearances on scores of shows, Tonight at the London Palladium, and Generation Game among them. It was Nigel who gave Paul his first brush with Royalty when he secured him a spot on the Prince’s Trust Gala Show in 1997. By the late nineties it was obvious to Paul that traditional variety shows were losing their appeal and it was then that Zerdin decided to introduce stand-up into his routine, a decision that has paid off handsomely.
In 2015 Paul won America’s Got Talent. Global stardom awaits….

In the export commerce of India, hemp is a tertn applied to the fibres of several distinct plants, all valuable as cordage materials ; and the Chinese terms, Ho-ma, Ta-ma, Ya-ma, and Hwang-ma, are fibres of urticaceous, malvaceous, and tiliaceous plants. But the true hemp of Europe is the fibre of the Cannabis sativa of botanists. It possesses a remarkably tough kind of woody tissue, capable of being manufactured into linen and cordage. It is an annual plant from 3 to 10 feet high, with the males and females on separate stems. It is difficult to say of what country the true hemp plant is a native,—Willdenow says Persia, Gmelin says Tartary, Thunberg found it in Japan ; so that the varieties produced by climate have by some been thought to be distinct species, the European being called C. sativa, and the Indian C. Indies. Ilerodotus mentions it as a Scythian plant. Bieber stein met with it in Tauria and the Caucasian region. It is well known. in Bokhars. and Persia, and is grown everywhere Ihniughout India, and in the Himalaya up to 10,000 feet. In European countries it is cultivated only for its ligneous fibre, so extensively employed in the manufacture of ropes, and of coarse hut strong kinds of cloth. It is cultivated in oriental countries to obtain the intoxicating leaves, called Ganja, from which bhang and subji or sidhi are produced, and for the resinous product called charms. The mode of cultivating is, however, different for each of its products. The plant requires exposure to light and air, and is therefore sown thin or transplanted out, when it is cultivated for its resinous and intoxicating secretion ; while the growth of fibre is promoted by shade and moisture, which are procured by thick sowing.
In Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey, the leaves used as an intoxicant are known as Hashish, and Hashish is a term of obloquy ; the plural Hashasin has been supposed by some writers to be the source of the word Assassin. For its fibre it is chiefly grown in Russia, and is sent to the other European countries for cordage, canvas, and towelling. The finest quality of hemp, and that which brings the highest price, being sold at 50s. per cwt. when the best Russia brings only 47s., comes from Italy ; though French, English, and Irish hemps are much esteemed. The Russian hemp grows best in a friable soil of moderate rich ness. At St. Petersburg hemp is assorted into clean hemp, or firsts ; outshot hemp, or seconds ; half cleaned hemp, or thirds ; and hemp codilla. Riga hemp is classed as rein or clean, outshot, and pass hemp. Particular care is taken to ship hemp and flax in fine dry weather, and to preserve it from damp by packing with mats ; for if either get wet, they are apt to heat, and to be totally spoiled.
The hemp imported into Great Britain from all countries, from 1877 to 1880, ranged from 1,204,036 to 1,320,731 cwt., of value from £1,684,377 to £2,072,040, almost all from Russia, Germany, Italy, and the Philippines ; from India, between the years 1874-1879, the raw fibres exported under the commercial designation of hemp, in quantity and in value only ranged thus,— Cwt. Rs. Cat. Rs.
1874-5, 80,050 6,66,539 1877-8, 55,312 5,76,911 1875-6, 75,878 6,28,604 1878-9, 45,628 4,62,334 1876-7, 85,207 7,58,856 1879-80, 42,202 4,03,076 But during the same period the annual exports from India of coir, hemp, and jute averaged about 280,000 tons, value £3,500,000, the coir and hemp being valued about £20 a ton, and jute £12 the ton.
Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea), called also Brown hemp, Madras hemp, Indian hemp, Konkani hemp, Salsette hemp, Bombay hemp, Travancore flax, and by the vernacular names, Sam, Ghore-san, Sunn, Shanamoo, Kenna, Ambari, Taag, Wuckoo-nar, and Janapa-nar. It is the kind most generally cultivated all over India, on account of its fibre, and is that usually mentioned in the exports from Calcutta under the name of hemp, but also as sunn. The plant may be distinguished by its flowers being of a bright yellow colour, and of the form of the pea and of the laburmun, while the leaves are entire and lanceolate.
or Dekhani hemp (Hibiscus cannabinus), called in the languages of India, Mesta - pat, Nalkee, Pulooa, Sunni, Valaiti Sunn, Garnikura, Gongkura, Pooley-nammajii, Pundey, Pundrika, and Palungoo of Madras, is very generally culti vated all over India, and exported of very good quality from the west side. The fibre is like that of jute. It is often confounded with that of the sunn, as it is one of the brown limps of Bombay, though the two plants differ much from each other.
Jubbulpur hemp is established as an article of commerce in India, and highly esteemed by good judges in Britain.
Manilla hemp is from the Musa textilis, grown in the Philippines, and introduced into S. India by Major (now Sir George) Balfour. It is being imported into Great Britain in increasing quantities and value.

This is chiefly used in making ropes and string of various sizes, such articles being in great demand for tracking the boats up rivers and in the canals of the country.
Jute is the fibre of Corchorus capsularis, and C. olitorius, and also known to the people as Pat, Koshta, Bhurtgee pat, Ghanalita pat, 'Putts, Singin-ganasha. It is now imported as jute, being largely used in Dundee.

Lotteries sector disrupter Lottoland has pounced on listed online lottery ticket seller Jumbo Interactive, as first reported by Street Talk.
A line of 2.25 million Jumbo Interactive shares changed hands after market on Wednesday at a 28 per cent premium to the market price.
The trade, representing 5.1 per cent of Jumbo Interactive's issued equity, was done by Petra Capital.
Lottoland is believed to be the buyer, moving on long-held plans to get into the stock. The stake is expected to be unveiled in a substantial shareholder notice in coming days.
Lottoland declined to comment when contacted by Street Talk.
The bigger question is whether the stake is a precursor to a bigger move.
The trade comes at an interesting time for Jumbo Interactive and in the lotteries sector more generally.
The company makes the bulk of its revenue selling lotteries tickets via its online business under agreement with wagering giant Tatts Group. Tatts Group is also in play, while Jumbo Interactive has been seeking to stitch up a long-term agreement with Tatts.
Jumbo Interactive, which bundles together various lotteries draws, including those of Tatts, is an obvious fit for Lottoland given its existing footprint in the market with nearly 2 million customer accounts.
Jumbo Interactive shares were up 13.6 per cent to $2.26 on Thursday.
Jumbo Interactive's biggest shareholders include chief executive Mike Veverka and Forager Funds Management.

The UK’s leading resin flooring specialist
Public Safety Buildings
Public Safety Buildings Flooring
When it comes to the safety of your employees and service users, there’s simply no room for compromise. In public safety buildings such as fire and police stations, every element must be designed with safety in mind.
Although often overlooked, the flooring used in commercial properties plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of everyone inside. For example, anti-slip flooring can help to prevent falls, while fire-resistant flooring can help to contain flames and smoke in the event of a fire. In addition, acoustic flooring can help to reduce noise levels, making it easier for employees to communicate and stay alert. By specifying the right flooring for each area of a public safety building, you can help to create a safe environment for everyone involved.
At Impact Flooring, we’re unrivalled in providing resin flooring systems designed to meet the specific needs of public safety buildings. Our epoxy floors are the optimal solution for areas that must withstand heavy foot traffic. They’re incredibly durable and slip-resistant, making them ideal for environments where safety is a priority. In addition, our epoxy flooring is easy to clean and maintain, which is an important consideration in a busy public space. And because our flooring is fully customisable, we can create a unique look that complements your organisation’s branding.
Benefits of our Public Safety Buildings Flooring Systems
Choosing the right type of flooring for your business can prove to be a daunting task. With so many different options on the market, it can be challenging to know where to start.
The main benefits of our public safety building flooring include:
Arguably the most crucial factor to consider when choosing flooring for a public safety building is its durability. The last thing you want is your flooring to show signs of wear and tear after only a few months of use. With our epoxy floors, you can rest assured that your flooring will be able to withstand even the most rigorous use.
Wet floors can present a severe safety hazard, particularly in public spaces with a high volume of foot traffic. Slippery floors are one of the leading causes of accidents and injuries in the workplace, and they can pose a serious threat to employees, visitors and service users. Epoxy floors have a high degree of traction and slip resistance, making them an ideal choice for public safety buildings.
Easy to clean and maintain
Our epoxy floors are the perfect solution for public safety buildings that need to maintain a high level of cleanliness. The seamless and nonporous surface of our floors helps to prevent the build-up of dirt, dust and grime and prevents the growth of bacteria. In addition, the epoxy floors are easy to clean and maintain, meaning you can keep your public safety building looking its best with minimal effort. And for those tough stains, our flooring can be power or steam-washed without causing any damage.
First impressions count, so it is essential to ensure that your public safety building makes the right impression on everyone who walks through the door. You want visitors to feel safe, welcomed, and reassured that they are in good hands. At Impact Flooring, we specialise in resin flooring that can be fully customised to suit your organisation’s needs. So whether you want to incorporate logos and graphics to compliment your branding or you need to create a colour-coded floor system for safety purposes, we can help.
High-quality flooring can be a significant expense, but it’s important to remember that flooring is a long-term investment. Cheap and inferior flooring materials will need to be replaced more frequently, which can end up costing you more over time. With our epoxy floors, you can rest assured that you are getting a cost-effective solution that will last many years with minimal maintenance required.
Questions to Consider Public Safety Buildings Flooring
When choosing flooring for a public safety building, there are several factors you need to take into account. Here are some important questions to consider:
- What is the primary function of the building?
- How much foot traffic does the building receive on a daily basis?
- Are there any specific safety concerns that need to be addressed?
- Does my flooring need to be customisable?
- What is my budget for this project?
Once you’ve answered these questions, you’ll be better positioned to decide which flooring system suits your building’s needs.

At Impact Flooring, we understand that every company and organisation is different and has its own unique set of requirements.

Size dependent sensitivity of Yb3+,Er3+ up-converting luminescent nano-thermometers†
The non-contact temperature sensing using the luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) between 2H11/2 → 4I15/2 and 4S3/2 → 4I15/2 electronic transition in upconverting Yb3+ and Er3+ co-doped nanocrystals has been known for two decades. This phenomenon is governed by the simple Boltzmann formula, which however does not consider material's properties other than energy gap between the respective energy states. For example, the temperature sensitivity has never been shown to depend on the size of nanoparticles, however our studies, performed on two different NaYF4:Er3+,Yb3+ and LiLaP4O12:Er3+,Yb3+ nanocrystals clearly show evidences of such a relationship. Upon constant excitation intensity, the changes in the LIR emission intensity ratio in response to rising external temperature become consistently more rapid for smaller nanocrystals. It was found that the sensitivity of an up-converting luminescent thermometer changes proportionally to the nanoparticle size, i.e. raised from 1.1% K−1 @ 240 nm to 1.8% K−1 @ 20 nm for tetraphosphate nanocrystals and similarly raised from 1.1% K−1 @ 200 nm to 2.1% K−1 @ 8 nm for fluoride nanocrystals at 200 K. These phenomena were manifested mainly at low temperatures and can be neglected at temperatures above 250 K. The observed changes were discussed in terms of ratio of superficial to bulk ions. Phenomenological models have been proposed to describe both the size dependent luminescence lifetimes and temperature sensitivity.
