In response to her new friend's queries, Vera recounts the story of her life, beginning with marrying her no-good husband Cayre (Gerard Depardieu), who has been using her for some time to keep his failing building business afloat.
"La Musica" (1967) was written by Marguerite Duras based on her play which she also directed with Paul Seban. It is quite accomplished for so simple an idea, but never the less, well carried out with beautiful black and white camera-work by Sasha Vierny. Just the story of "He" and "She" who come for their nonetheless divorce judgement and stay in the same hotel and realize some extraordinary insights into their dissolving marriage. The incomparable Delphine Seyrig is "She" and Robert Hossein plays "He." Hossein's efforts as a director are much more striking than his innumerable acting roles. I think he was more, and these performances may have made him define the role of "He," of "a man on the verge." In movies as an actor he is best at being potentially devious. especially as he was in Sergio Gobbi's "Maldonne" (AKA: "Misdeal") and the work he did for Vadim. But the opposite of this intriguing quality is also at work and is a tendency to be monotonous. The Franz Shubert melody "Winter Journey" is one of several motifs, a cageful of snarling panthers on a television screen coupled with vicious dog at the hotel window are some of the artistic flourishes that Duras provides. Well worth seeing to savor.

Financial Times investigative correspondent Tom Burgis delivers a speech on the kleptocratic African states whose power and wealth rely heavily on mineral and oil extraction. Burgis details how these “shadow governments” have created rentier states, concentrating money and power into the hands of a select few who remain unaccountable to their constituents. Using his own experiences throughout sub-Saharan Africa, Burgis provides a passionate explanation of what he calls the “channel of secrecy” that links corrupt African nations with large western corporations.

Moyers debuts PBS series on faith and reason
In a world where religion is poison to some and salvation to others, how do we live together?
Bill Moyers addresses that question in a seven-part series, "Bill Moyers on Faith & Reason," on PBS. Moyers interviews writers of wildly varying positions on belief and disbelief - and who collectively disavow any simple either-or polarity. Moyers sought out writers such as Salman Rusdie, Margaret Atwood and Jeanette Winterson (as opposed to religious figures or scholars) to learn through in-depth conversations some of what they find on their creative odysseys. The show debuts on Georgia Public Broadcasting at 3 p.m. Sunday.
California Episcopal priest resigns over past sex abuse allegations
Pressed by his bishop and public protests, an Episcopal priest is leaving the clergy over a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl decades ago. The Rev. John Bennison, 58, of St. John's parish in Clayton near San Francisco, who is married with two children, admitted to the past sexual relationship while serving in the Los Angeles Diocese. A 1993 church investigation said the relationship lasted four years and was one of several alleged affairs. Church documents showed that Bennison brought the teen to bed with him and his first wife. Bennison never faced criminal charges. Resignation pressure increased this spring when the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests held protests at his church. Two weeks ago, San Francisco's Bishop William Swing asked Bennison to step down.
Cardinal apologizes over communist-era clergy collaborators
The former personal secretary of Pope John Paul II apologized for the actions of Roman Catholic priests who allegedly collaborated with Poland's dreaded Communist-era secret security agency, and urged Poles not to lose faith in the church. "I apologize to those who think that they have been hurt by the attitude of some priests," Poland's PAP news agency quoted Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz of Krakow as telling some 15,000 people at a Corpus Christi celebration. Dziwisz referred to resurfaced files that indicate some priests collaborated with security forces that monitored Poles' daily lives under the Communists, who were ousted in 1989. He called for the full truth to be publicly revealed before judgment is passed. Those named include the Rev. Stanislaw Hejmo, who aided Polish pilgrims who traveled to Rome to meet John Paul, and the Rev. Michal Czajkowski, a popular priest who recently co-chaired the Polish Council of Christians and Jews. Both denied consciously passing information to secret police. The Catholic church played a key role in protecting the nation's identity and independence during Nazi occupation and then decades of atheist communism.

With more travel expected during the holiday season than last year, more consumers are turning to BNPL (buy now, pay later) services to pay for expenses such as hotels and airline tickets. But while BNPL apps can help your cash flow and save you on interest charged by credit cards, they also have drawbacks to consider.
Buy now, pay later services allow you to make a purchase and then pay for it in several installments, just as you would with a credit card. Its main advantage over credit cards is that there are no interest charges or fees if you pay according to terms.
Consumers are turning to BNPL apps for a number of expenses, including buying Christmas gifts, as they took advantage of shopping discounts on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The majority of purchases made with BNPL were clothing and personal items such as electronics and jewelry, but according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), travel and entertainment are among the fastest growing segments.
From December 23, 2022 to January 2, the AAA estimates that 112.7 million people will travel 50 miles or more, 3.6 million more than the year before. It expects air traffic to increase by 14%, with 7.2 million Americans expected to fly.
Companies like American Airlines and United Airlines work with BNPL providers like Affirm and Uplift so you can pay for your vacations and travel in small increments, which can often result in you paying for your trip after you return home.
Benefits of using BNPL
For consumers with increasingly tight budgets, due in part to inflationary trends and rising interest rates, BNPL apps make it possible to make a purchase and pay it off over time without interest. If BNPL payments fit your budget, this strategy can help you maintain a healthy cash flow so you have more cash on hand to pay for other expenses.
Compared to using credit cards, which charged an average interest rate of 22.12% as of December 2022, according to Investopedia data, BNPL services can save you interest while still giving you a longer repayment time.
BNPL apps are becoming cheaper than using credit cards as credit card interest rates rise. Most credit card companies peg their interest rate to the Federal Reserve’s prime rate, which has risen as the Fed tries to stem inflationary trends. The Fed recently raised its key interest rate by half a percentage point to a range of 4.25% to 4.5%.
Disadvantages of relying on BNPL
When used with careful planning of your budget, BNPL services can be a useful financial tool that helps you make purchases and maintain your cash flow. But they can also cause financial problems if not used correctly.
If you do not make your payments on time, a BNPL service may charge a late payment fee. In fact, late fees are becoming more and more common. About 10.5% of BNPL users were charged a late fee in 2021, up from 7.8% in 2020, the CFPB reports.
Consumer protections for BNPL services are also inconsistent. Unlike credit cards, BNPL services are not regulated in every state. It is therefore possible that they do not provide clear information about the credit costs, for example. BNPL users may be forced to pay automatically or have few rights to dispute charges. Without consumer protection, BNPL services can charge multiple late fees for the same missed payment. The CFPB says it is working to improve regulation for BNPL companies.
“Given their rapid growth, we want to ensure that the buy now, pay later companies are subject to appropriate regulatory scrutiny, as are credit card companies,” CFBP director Rohit Chopra said in a statement.

Part of Monroe County's economic stimulus bounty is replacement of two existing sets of officer quarters at Tobyhanna Army Depot that were built in the early 1950s.
The Tobyhanna Army Depot is getting an executive upgrade.
Part of the county's economic stimulus bounty is the replacement of two existing sets of officer quarters that were built in the early 1950s. They are the oldest housing units on the installation.
The cost for the two, four-bedroom houses is estimated to be less than $1 million, according to an Army Depot spokesman. That cost includes demolition of the existing structures. The actual costs will depend on a competitive bidding process conducted by the Norfolk District of the Army Corps of Engineers.
The homes will be built in an undeveloped parcel on the base adjacent to the depot's main family housing area. The project includes restoration at the site of the existing homes, and construction of two new houses, along with sidewalks, driveways and utility extensions.
The bidding process was designed to allow potential bidders the greatest flexibility possible to propose designs and features using a "best-value" approach, according to the spokesman. At a minimum, the houses must have four bedrooms, basement and garage.
Depot officials advertised the solicitation locally to encourage local construction contractors to submit bids and generate more competitive pricing. That's a departure from the norm. Projects are usually listed only on the government's centralized Website, FedBizOpps.
The project should begin in the spring. It's expected to take a year to complete once a contract is awarded. Anticipated occupancy is May or June 2011.


The world of cinema seems to never run out of themes to be made into a work. One of them is adapting a story from a novel. Many successful films depart from the expertise of a novel writer. The story is also unique and unusual. Curious about what films are based on novels? Let’s look at the following.
One of the horror films that is widely discussed because the horror offered by this scary clown named Pennywise always has a special place in the hearts of the audience. Not many know that IT is based on one of Stephen King’s 1986 novels.
IT tells the case of the disappearance of children who were terrorized by the clown Pennywise. Due to the success of the first IT in 2017, IT finally made a sequel and was released in September 2019.

The six members; Adhir Rajan Chowdhury, Gaurav Gogoi, K Suresh, MK Raghavan, Ranjeet Ranjan and Sushmita Dev; "had stormed the Well, torn papers and thrown it towards the Chair", Speaker Sumitra Mahajan said. The leaders of the Congress, Communist Party of India (Marxist), Trinamool Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal, and Janata Dal (United) were protesting against the suspension of six Congress MPs from the Lok Sabha on Monday.
She asked Mr Kharge to submit a notice under a different rule for a discussion on gau rakshaks and mob violence rather than an adjournment motion. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar reiterated the government's position put on record in the Rajya Sabha by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley that the government condemned violence in the name of cow and vigilantism attached to it.
Staff Reporter GUWAHATI, July 25 - The Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) today hailed the role played by Congress MPs in the Lok Sabha yesterday on the issue of cow vigilantes.
Prakash Javadekar had tried to introduce the IIIT Bill, but was cut short by shouting Opposition members.
The Lower House witnessed noisy scenes as members of the Congress and some other Opposition parties were in the Well raising slogans against the government and protesting lynching incidents in the name of cow protection nearly since the House assembled in the morning.

While adjourning the House till 2:30 pm, Mahajan said that the MPs did not stop despite her repeated requests to them to return to their seats and instead, indulged in the improper conduct. Mahajan, however, said she didn't want to comment on the issue immediately.
Congress members staged a sit-in near the Speaker's podium throughout the Question Hour as she refused to permit a discussion on the issue.
Among others, CPI-M member Mohammad Salim also was seen protesting. "We request you to reconsider and lift the suspension of the MPs".

Question for Remi About the 162 Formula Factory fin?
Hi Remy, I all of the forums they trash the Drake fin that comes with the 162 board. I just got my new 162 2009 Formula board and I got a R-19 Drake Fin. Was it supposed to come with a R-20 fin??
What seems to be the real story with the R-19 fin that eveyone has a problem with.
What would be the ideal fin for that board and how can I get one fin that works.
Thanks ahead of time.:)
The website says that the 162 comes with the R19. I understand that the R20 was only to be packaged with the FOD if that were successfully adopted by the IOC.
Sean O'Brien has written an exellent article on www.CarbonSugar.com about setting up boards that includes comments on fins. There is also an interview with the shaper from VMG Blades (Chris Ting) on that site that gives good insights into what makes a fast fin. I think there is also an article on Miami windsurfing with Dave Kashy that gives good insights too.
Is the Drake R19 a bad fin? Jesper Vesterstrom did a job on Australian formula sailors over a year ago using the stock Drake fin.
The fin who is deliver with all the Formula 161 and 162 is the Drake R19. Shurman was use it with great succes but yes If you start to compare it with Custom fins you will found a difference but in price also.
All the best
Do you still stick to your suggestion from a year ago to use the following fins with F162:
- Under 14 knots : R20
- Over 14 knots : R20 rake +6
- Over 20 knots : R13 soft rake + 6
I ask that as there was an extensive discussion on R20 and its "fragility" vs. R19 etc. ever since ...
Their is many option depend of your weight and style, but better to say that all the fins who was working on the F 160 & F 161 will be perfect on the LWR & HWR.
All the best

Martin Keown thinks Marquinhos looks like a bit of a Serge Gnabry type, tipping the winger to follow in the footsteps of Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe at Arsenal.
Marquinhos made an impressive senior debut for Arsenal on Thursday, providing a goal and an assist to help the Gunners beat FC Zurich in their Europa League opener.
Former Gunner Martin Keown was certainly impressed with the performance, comparing Marquinhos to another ex-Arsenal man in Serge Gnabry, as he kept an eye on Arsenal live scores.
“He’s got a huge future ahead of him,” Keown said. “That’s a real opportunity now ahead of him.
“Bukayo Saka is only a couple of years older himself, but such is the quality he’s going to get chances. He looked a bit like a Gnabry-type player. He’s short, stocky, explosive pace.
“He looked very classy. He picked and chose his moments cleverly, whipped a couple of crosses in. Really good quality. He kept on producing.
“I think it’s great news. We’ve seen Saka, we’ve seen Smith Rowe in this very competition start their careers. I think we’re seeing another star here in the making.”
There are certainly some similarities between Marquinhos and Gnabry, based on his early appearances in North London at senior and academy level.
Marquinhos has plenty of goal threat and good strength on the ball for his size. He’s perhaps yet to show too much of the explosiveness Keown references, something which is much more central to Gnabry’s game.
Instead, Marquinhos often seems to opt to put crosses in or play quick short passes, making use of his movement off the ball rather than on it.
The teenager is still so young, he should develop his own mould as a player eventually.
That development is what the fans should look forward to as the season progresses, rather than expecting him to turn into the next Gnabry.

This could be the hottest hotline number in use before the long hot summer of 1987 is over.
If you are among the thousands of Lehigh Valley motorists trying to cope with Interstate-78 construction projects, the number can be an important one.
Dial it and you will be able to obtain information on current work areas, changes in traffic patterns, traffic conditions, detours and suggestions for alternate routes.
Beginning Monday morning, representatives of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation will staff the phone lines from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday. Since most drivers have different destinations and problems, operators will to advise them individually about the easiest way to avoid Route 309 projects, bypass other I-78 work, and navigate the area with minimum delay.
After 6 p.m. on weekdays, and during weekends, callers will hear a taped response providing all of the latest traffic information.
John Caltagirone, community relations director of PennDOT's Allentown district, released the hotline number last night at a meeting of the Lehigh Valley Chapter, Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association. Forty members and guests attended the dinner in the Hamilton Plaza, Allentown.
Caltagirone joined Dick Stinson, PennDOT's I-78 construction coordinator, in presenting an update of the $450-million project that will cover 32 miles in Lehigh and Northampton counties. Although traffic has been moving "fairly smoothly" on 309, Caltagirone said, PennDOT wants to keep it that way by keeping people informed with the hotline and a new pocket-sized brochure on I- 78 that will be distributed at numerous public places during the remainder of this month.
"Drivers already are taking the alternate routes. We have no gridlocks on the alternate roads in Lehigh County, and it seems that the choices we (PennDOT) made were the right ones," said Caltagirone. Hewas introduced by chapter President Bernie Sampson of Philadelphia.
Stinson, illustrating his talk with a large, colored map, said that all I- 78 sections in Northampton County will be under construction by mid-summer, and that work will be under way this year on many sections in Lehigh County.
Priority is being given to the Dorneyville bypass in Lehigh, Stinson said, to alleviate serious traffic congestion at Hamilton Boulevard (Route 222) and Cedar Crest in Whitehall Township. Although neither highway is in the alignment of I-78, Cedar Crest is a vital relief highway for traffic from Route 309 which will double as I-78 for about 13 miles.
Sections of I-78 will be open between interchanges in Northampton County late next year, Stinson noted. The eastern end of the interstate highway link will be the new six-lane bridge under construction across the Delaware River several miles south of Easton. It will parallel the existing bridge over the Delaware at Easton.
Trucking companies say they pay a large share of the taxes, fees and bridge tolls required to maintain highway systems. One member of the PMTA chapter asked whether the new $25-million bridge between Pennsylvania and Phillipsburg, N.J., will be a toll span.
"We don't know yet if it will be a toll bridge. That is being decided right now," Caltagirone replied. "But it's the responsibility of Pennsylvania to build this bridge. They seem to rotate. New Jersey built the last one."
With 1991 as the target year for completion of the entire I-78 project between Haafsville on the west and the Delaware River on the east, Caltagirone commented, "This is being called the 'missing link' in Pennsylvania's interstate system." He noted that federal funding for interstate work will run out this year unless it is renewed.
Truck industry people also asked questions about the probability of extending state Route 33, which connects Route 22 to Route 80 and the heart of the Poconos, to the projected I-78 in Northampton County.
Stinson said that provision has been made in the design of I-78 for an eventual connection to Route 33. Caltagirone said that the Route 33 extension is in the State Transportation Board's 12-year plan that is undergoing a two- year update. Even with strong leadership from the Route 33 Coalition and support in the state legislature, Caltagirone said, the biggest problem is financing.
"The Route 33 project (of about four miles) will cost about $50 million, an estimated $28 million of that for the bridge over the Lehigh River that is very wide at that point. All of the corridor would be in Bethlehem Township. The land is undeveloped and three farmers own almost all of the right-of- way," Caltagirone reported.
Stinson was asked by another truck industry man whether the grade of Route 309 over South Mountain - it's considered fairly steep by some truck drivers and motorists - would be reduced through the reconstruction of the highway for I-78.
Indicating that the grade is 4 percent over a fairly long distance, Stinson responded, "The grade will be changed very little. Three percent? No, it will not be reduced down to three."
Since the grade will remain virtually the same, Stinson was asked if PennDOT has specified special paving material to provide extra traction on the hill.
He responded, "No, it will be concrete. Concrete gives you good traction."

The Councilor for Family and Equality of Opportunities in office, Violante Tomás, along with Mayor Alcantarilla, Joaquín Buendía, and the president of the Association of Relatives and Sick Alzheimer's Sewer (Afade-Alcantarilla), Julia Fernández Sánchez, recently visited Its day center.
During the visit, the counselor explained that the financing of the Murciano Institute of Social Action (IMAS) for this center was expanded from April 1 in seven more places, from 26, to 240,654 euros, to 33 places .
This extension also subsidizes the support of older people who attend this center.
The counselor referred to "the quality that is provided in the day center of Afade to the elderly with alzhemer, which together with the other two day centers of majors that exist in the municipality, undoubtedly give one of the Greater coverage of the Region ".
It is a day center for the care of elderly people with Alzheimer's and other dementias.
Afade-Alcantarilla "is an example of responsibility with this work of helping citizens about the reality of Alzheimer's, but also with care, providing services and therapies that allow its users to maintain physical and mental skills for as long as possible And accompanying them in the battle against the disease, "said the counselor.
Alzheimer's affects about 17,000 people in the Region of Murcia.
Organizations such as Afade-Alcantarilla carry out "a great job of providing information, support and assistance to users and their families, as well as their divulging work among society that is allowing the banishment of false myths about this disease," explained Violante Tomás.

Last week, CGD released a working paper by Jonah Busch and Jens Engelmann on the future of the world’s forests. At first glance, the predictions are dire: an area of tropical forest the size of India gone by 2050, one-sixth of the world’s carbon budget spent in the next 35 years, a world more prone to storms and natural disasters. But there is hope. Busch and Engelmann’s research shows that policies to safeguard tropical forests could quickly and affordably keep up to one-half of future carbon emissions out of the atmosphere. That would help keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius, the level scientists say will cause severe climate change.
To learn more take a look at CGD’s inaugural #CGDchat, which explored the impact of forests on climate change.

"She had advanced bone marrow cancer which she had an operation for. But, last Thursday, she had a scan and then the descent was fast. In the end, her death was painless and quick."
York began her acting career in 1960, starring in "Tunes of Glory" opposite Alec Guinness and John Mills, and went on to appear in movies such as "The Greengage Summer", "A Man for All Seasons", "The Killing of Sister George" and "Battle of Britain".
She received an Oscar nomination for her role in 1969's "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" and took home the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival in 1972 for her part in "Images". York later became a small screen regular in her native Britain, featuring in series' including "Prince Regent", "We'll Meet Again" and "Holby City".
The star was also an accomplished theatre actress, appearing on stage in London and Paris, France throughout her lengthy career, most recently starring in a 2009 production of "The Tennessee Williams Triple Bill" at The New End Theatre in the U.K. capital.
York is survived by her two children, Orlando and Sasha, as well as a grandson and a granddaughter.

Contact tracing is important to keep WA safe and everyone can play a part. Maintaining a contact register is mandatory for most businesses and venues. Here are some top tips and practical information to help you.
Communicate to your customers about contact registers
- Display signs clearly and prominently.
- Share information to patrons on social media to remind them about contact registers.
- Encourage staff to ask patrons if they have checked in.
- Add reminders where you can – e.g. on menus, at the front counter, in change rooms and when speaking to patrons over the phone or in person .
- Use our assets, e.g. posters, to inform patrons that contact registers are in place at your venue.
Make it easier for you and your patrons
- Ensure contact registers are visible and accessible for your patrons.
- Provide digital and manual contact register options.
- SafeWA is the WA Government’s free app, which is a digital contact register system. This is an easy and safe way to record patron and visitor contact details.
- Educate and train staff on how your business maintains a contact register.
- Use our assets, e.g. posters on how to download SafeWA, check in and/or register (resources are also available in other languages).
Privacy and providing information to help with contact tracing
- Protect your customers’ details if using a paper-based contact register by using the tear-off sheet template.
- Keep paper-based forms in a safe and secure place.
- Ensure staff are educated about how to protect customers’ privacy.
- Contact register details must be kept for at least 28 days.
- Make sure you can quickly provide this information when requested, including outside of standard working hours.
- The WA Government’s free app SafeWA is a digital contact register system. Using this app benefits you, as you are not responsible for storing data obtained through SafeWA.
Mandatory Contact Register
Best practices for contact registersShow more
- If using your own digital contact register that uses its own QR code, you must also offer patrons SafeWA as an option.
- Educate staff to remind customers to register their details.
- Keep information from contact registers secure and not widely on display to other customers in the area.
- Use the paper-based contact register tear-off option for the manual contact register, if customers are concerned about the privacy of their contact details.
- Place a poster in takeaway pick-up areas to help remind food delivery drivers they have to register their details. Ensure staff also help remind people when possible.
Best practices for SafeWAShow more
- Ensure the SafeWA QR code poster is visible and easy to access for your customers.
- Print SafeWA QR code posters on white paper to make it easier for people to scan the code.
- Display how-to posters for downloading and using SafeWA, and help encourage people without an account to set up one while lining up.
- Place your SafeWA QR code posters in several prominent locations such as by the entrance, at the checkout, and in waiting areas.
- Ensure the posters are placed in well-lit areas.
- Consider printing the SafeWA QR codes on stickers or pull-up banners (templates in popular sizes are available in the toolkit).
- Make use of available electronic screens at your venue to display videos to help customers learn how to use SafeWA.
Best practices for regional businessesShow more
- Remind patrons to check their mobile phone connection if a check in receives an error message. A reminder about reception can also be included on contact registers signage. Additional troubleshooting information is available.
- Businesses can use their own device with SafeWA installed to help check in patrons. This is an option if a patron does not have mobile phone reception to check themselves in.
- A manual contact register is an alternative if a mobile device is not an option.
- Place contact registers and QR codes in multiple places throughout the business. This will help remind people they need to check in and prevent people from crowding around one location.

It has again been a lively winter in the global LNG spot market. Spot prices are following a pronounced seasonal shape as winter buying has driven Asian prices above the 20 $/mmbtu level. What has been interesting this year is the level of competition from European buyers, particularly from Spain and Turkey, to secure flexible cargoes. The knock on effect of Spanish LNG demand, has been a period of structural separation between gas prices in South West and North West Europe.
Spanish gas price linkage to spot LNG
The Iberian peninsula is relatively isolated from the rest of the European gas market. Although interconnector upgrades are under development, there is a tight constraint on cross border capacity from Southern France into Spain. In turn there is another key transmission constraint separating the PEG Sud and PEG Nord hubs within France (as we describe in more detail here). So tightness in the Spanish gas market can drive quite pronounced price separation across the Spanish AOC, PEG Sud and Northern European (NBP/TTF/NCG) hub boundaries.
LNG supply rarely drives marginal hub pricing in Northern Europe (although one notable exception is the Mar/Apr 2013 price spike at NBP). But the situation is different in Spain given the prominence of LNG as a supply source. Spanish gas market prices (represented to some extent by the relatively illiquid AOC hub) tend to exist in one of three states:
- Oil on the margin: Whenever possible, the incumbent gas suppliers in Spain like to ‘manage’ portfolio supply (i.e. pipeline & LNG contracts) at the Spanish borders such that oil-indexed contracts drive marginal gas prices within Spain. This is primarily because suppliers are selling gas to customers on an oil-indexed basis.
- NW European convergence: With increasing volumes of interconnection capacity to France and weakening Spanish gas demand over the last 5 years, NW European hub prices are increasingly influencing Spanish gas pricing. This influence will only continue to expand as interconnection increases.
- Spot LNG on the margin: In periods when there is a more pronounced shortage of physical supply into Spain, pipeline contract imports & interconnector capacity can become constrained. Spanish gas prices tend to rise to attract LNG supply as a result. This is not necessarily to attract spot cargoes, but to choke off the diversion and reloading of Spanish LNG supply to other higher priced markets (e.g. in Asia and South America).
The impact of this third state (i.e. LNG spot influence) has been felt to some extent across the last three winters. It has been particularly prominent this year given issues within the Spanish market.
The current Spanish price squeeze
A good way to visualise the impact of LNG prices on the Spanish gas market is to look at the evolution of a Spanish spot LNG benchmark. Chart 1 shows a LNG spot price snapshot from the Reuters power and gas team, displaying the evolution of different Waterborne spot price benchmarks.

The Energy Cooperative warns members of a recent scam designed to bilk people out of their hard earned money. As it turns out, this is not an isolated problem. Other utilities and cooperatives across the state are also hearing reports of scammers targeting e-mail inboxes. The scammers send a bogus invoice that directs members to a virus-infected site.
No members of The Energy Cooperative appear to have been scammed, but we have received reports of members who have received e-mails followed by phone calls. It is difficult to determine where the e-mails have been generated, but the URL for the sender is registered in South Africa. The link in the body of the e-mail shows it being registered in France. The fraudulent billing message tells member that their recent energy bill is ready and provides a hyperlink to view it. And that’s where the trouble begins.
Reports say the link takes a person to a site that infects their device with malware. The malware can search for banking information or attempt to steal usernames and passwords. Better Business Bureaus around the country are seeing increases in phony utility company invoices, according to an official at the BBB (Better Business Bureau) service in Ohio.
The Energy Cooperative advises members to ignore suspicious requests for personal information such as bank account numbers, credit card numbers, and user names and passwords. Members are also advised to not click on any link within a suspicious e-mail and delete those e-mails right away.
Here is a sample of the e-mail individuals have been receiving:
Any e-mail generated by The Energy Cooperative’s on-line bill paying service will always contain the following information:
- The full name under which the service is registered
- The full account number
- The type of service
- The service location
If you receive an e-mail stating that your energy bill is available although you’ve never signed up for electronic billing, this is a signal that the e-mail is fraudulent. The Energy Cooperative cannot send your bill electronically without your permission.
The Energy Cooperative takes all attempts to defraud consumers very seriously. Please be wary of e-mails demanding personal information, immediate payment or threatening termination of service. Members of The Energy Cooperative are urged to delete suspicious e-mails and call the cooperative at (800) 255-6815 to report them.

The seventh edition of The Police and the Community continues the long-standing tradition of this well-established book by providing a solid foundation of history in the police-community relationship integrated with the most contemporary issues and trends.
The author, who has worked extensively with police agencies around the world, brings a unique combination of theory, research, and policy to the Cited by: Community policing continues to be of great interest to policy makers, scholars and, of course, local police agencies.
Successfully achieving the transformation from a traditional policing model to community policing can be difficult. This book aims to illuminate the path to make that change. An expert on crime and policing, he is author of Community Policing, Chicago Style, and On the Beat: Police and Community Problem Solving, two books based on his years of studying Chicago's Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS).
His research focuses on the interface between the public and the criminal justice by: Major areas covered are: basic thought, public attitudes, police and race tension, police responsibilities, anarchy on the campus, police-community relations, Civil Rights Act ofpolice planning, police and group behavior, and moral aspects of law enforcement.
Community policing is a paradigm shift that challenges long-standing conceptualizations of the police and the fundamental assumptions about police work. A community policing approach allows the police to expand beyond a narrow focus on crime to address a broader spectrum of community concerns such as fear of crime, quality of life issues, and neighborhood needs.

Benzoxazine resin with good heat resistance, low combustion heat release and high char yield is a promising thermosetting resin. Meanwhile, research shows that the inorganic filler can effectively improve the thermodynamic property of the resin. It makes that the inorganic filler modified benzoxazine may have a potential application in laser ablation. The benzoxazine coating with and without inorganic filler ammonium polyphosphate, melamine and pentaerythritol (P-BOZ and BOZ) were prepared by brush and thermal curing method. The ablation properties of these coatings irradiated by high-intensity laser were investigated. The scanning electron microscope, Raman spectroscopy and thermal gravimetric analysis were used to characterize the micrographs, carbon layer structure and thermodynamic property of the sample. Results show that the composite coating has excellent thermal protective properties. The back temperature of 20 wt% P-BOZ coating under different parameter laser power (1000W/cm2, 5s; 1000W/cm2, 10s) are 40% lower than these of the BOZ coating and the 20 wt% P-BOZ has higher mass ablation rate. In the surface layer of the irradiated area, dense carbon layer is produced which reduces the absorb of the laser energy of the interior. In the interior of the sample, a large number of closed bell shaped holes are generated which are beneficial to obstruct the heat conduction.

The Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner has issued another report criticizing the Northern Village of Pinehouse for how it handles access to information requests.
The latest report was released on April 23, and concerns a request for minutes from village council and Pinehouse Business North (PBN) meetings where motions were passed authorizing the PBN board to dispense with financial statements from 2009, 2010 and 2011.
In the report, commissioner Ronald Kruzeniski wrote that village administration failed to respond within the 30-day statutory deadline, failed to give any reasons under the current legislation supporting their decision to withhold expense information, and failed to conduct a reasonable or adequate search for records. This is the 14th time the commissioner has had to issue a report about the village’s response to access to information requests.
Crystal Frenette, the woman responsible for filing the original access to information request in December, said taxpayers have a right to know how decisions are made, and how money is spent. She’s frustrated it’s taken this long to get the information, and called on the provincial government to draft new laws to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
“I’m really surprised that it has come to 14 reports,” Frenette said during an interview on Friday. “There are not enough teeth in the legislation.”
According to the Commissioner’s findings, Frenette made her access to information request on Dec. 11, 2018 via Canada Post. Tracking information indicated that the village administrators received the request on Dec. 14. She sent the village an email on Jan. 18 asking for an update, but was told the village had emailed a response earlier in the day.
Frenette emailed the village office back to say she had received nothing, but did not get a reply. She then sent a request to the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner on Jan. 21, and later received a letter and a single one-page record from the village with the expense information removed.
Beginning on Jan. 28, the commissioner’s office either emailed or called the village on six different occasions, but received only two responses. The first came on Feb. 19, when the village told the commissioner’s office that emails sent on Jan. 31 asking for submissions and clarifications were blank and needed to be sent again. The second came when they asked to extend the commissioner’s first deadline from Feb. 14 to March 8 because of the blank emails. There were no further responses from the village by the time the commissioner continued with his review on March 21.
As a result of his review Kruzeniski recommended that the village develop and policy and procedure for processing access to information requests, and that they provide a copy of this new policy to the Ministry of Government Relations and to the commissioner’s office.
Kruzeniski also recommended that the village conduct another search for council and PBN board minutes, and release the expense information withheld from the one-page record provided in January.
Pinehouse Mayor Mike Natomagan and clerk Martine Smith were unavailable for interviews on Friday. However, on Jan. 22 Natomagan told the Saskatoon StarPhoenix that responding to access to information requests was not a priority.
“To be quite honest, living in (one of the poorest regions of Canada), do we care about freedom of information? Not really,” Natomagan said at the time. “Are we going to get another slap on the hand here? Probably … We’ll get to it when we get to it, when we have time, because there are other priorities within our community.”
The StarPhoenix also reported that Regina-based lawyer Neil Robertson recommended removing Natomagan and one councillor from their positions following a village inspection. On March 29, the provincial government moved to make the inspection an official inquiry after reviewing Robertson’s report. The province has also launched a financial audit of village operations, and appointed an advisor to oversee the village council.

Roy Hodgson believes England's youngsters will benefit from their experience with the squad at Euro 2012
Roy Hodgson believes the younger members of his England squad will benefit from their Euro 2012 experience.
Last Updated: 29/09/12 7:53am
Hodgson gambled on the selection of Andy Carroll, Danny Welbeck and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for this summer's tournament in Poland and Ukraine.
While their tournament ended in penalty shootout disappointment in the quarter-finals against Italy, their involvement with the national side at a major tournament will prove invaluable during the 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign according to Hodgson.
"That tournament will stand the young players in good stead," Hodgson, who is due to name his squad for the double-header against San Marino and Poland next week, told FATV.
"We had a lot of young players with us who had virtually no international experience and came off the back of seasons where they hardly played.
"Andy Carroll did not play many games for Liverpool until the very end. Danny Welbeck had not played many games for Manchester United and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain hardly played for Arsenal.
"The younger ones will gain enormously from that tournament experience."
With Steven Gerrard, Ashley Cole and Wayne Rooney, Hodgson has retained a core of experienced players he hopes will allow England to progress.
"The loss of some key players did affect us (during Euro 2012)," he said.
"Experience and ability is what it is all about at the level we were playing at and I don't think we played anything like as well as I would like to think an England team can play.
"But on the other hand, I thought we showed a lot of other English qualities.
"The team spirit, the workrate, the determination, the desire to throw your body in the way of the ball to make certain the team got a result.
"Going into the Euros my major concern was making sure the environment was right, that the players felt comfortable and were happy to be there.
"I can be very happy with what we achieved in that respect but let's hope we can get to the next tournament and show we are an even better team than we were in the last one."


There’s an old saying, “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.” It depends on your point of view – and what you’re looking for. Information is much the same. What one man calls “disinformation” may actually be accurate information. It depends on your point of view – your bias – especially when politics is involved.
The most recent example of this is the origins of the coronavirus pandemic. Shortly after the onset of the pandemic, two theories quickly arose to explain where the virus originated. The first was it originated in a “wet market” in China, where bats and other animals may play host to such viruses. The second was it originated as a leak in the labs at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China.
Since the first cases of the novel coronavirus were discovered in Wuhan, you might have concluded the virology lab leak was the most plausible explanation. Instead, Chinese officials insisted it originated in the “wet market” about a thousand miles away! Epidemiologists and other infectious disease researchers were quick to jump on this hypothesis, perhaps because it didn’t threaten their research grants. The World Health Organization, deeply connected to the Chinese government, insisted the virology lab leak was not rational and dismissed this possibility.
Facebook, and other social media outlets, labeled the virology lab hypothesis “disinformation” and quickly took steps to censor anyone who disagreed. Yet, one year later the virology lab leak hypothesis is now considered more than likely, not just by the Biden administration that earlier rejected this idea, but even by the WHO. Now the “disinformation” is quite likely the truth.
But despite this about-face on the origins of the coronavirus, the Biden White House has recently taken steps to coordinate with Facebook on taking down any information that they consider “problematic.” White House press secretary Jen Psaki admitted, “We’re flagging problematic posts for Facebook.” The Surgeon General, an officer in the department of Health and Human Services, released a report with a page of suggestions on “what technology platforms can do” to crack down on certain information. The Verge reported that officials at Twitter “met with the surgeon general’s office on Monday to discuss its misinformation policies.”
The Wall Street Journal editorial board says, “It’s been clear for some time that the tech giants look to government to determine what coronavirus-related speech to allow. YouTube’s misinformation policy bans content that contradicts the evolving guidance of “health authorities.” Facebook stopped blocking some commentary on the lab-leak theory of the virus’s origins only after President Biden ordered an investigation into the possibility.”
In an earlier post (Free Speech in America), I recalled my own experience with censorship by Amazon when trying to publish a book that included coronavirus information. They were following the same approach as YouTube by banning any content that “contradicted the evolving guidance of health authorities.” Yet most of that information has since become public information acknowledged by health officials even today.
We are in a dangerous place when the government is restricting the flow of information based on their assessment of what constitutes “disinformation” – based on their political agenda. We’ve already witnessed the complete retraction of statements made by the Director of the CDC, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, when her bosses in the White House didn’t approve (CDC Director Caves to Politics). Why should we have any faith in any other statements coming from health officials who have been so obviously compromised?
The WSJ says “Wherever the legal line is drawn, the rise in Big Tech censorship that happens to align with government preferences ought to draw scrutiny. If it can happen on coronavirus, it can happen on other issues. Americans shouldn’t let that become the new normal.”

Whether you’re downsizing from a big house to simpler living arrangements or renting your first apartment in the city, studio apartments have their advantages but space isn’t one of them. It can take some getting used to but with careful planning, creative furniture placement and space-saving ideas in mind, small spaces can be turned into a beautiful area you can call home.
There are numerous things to consider when trying to save space in small apartments. The type of furniture you use, along with where you put it, is important to maximize the use of space, as are the smaller details. One of the best ways to save space while maximizing function is to utilize furniture and accessories that serve dual purposes. For example, use storage ottomans as extra seating and for storage, use a sofa sleeper instead of a separate bed and sofa, and use drop-leaf tables that will accommodate dinner guests but fold down when eating alone.
Wall space becomes infinitely more important in smaller spaces since there is less floor space for arranging furniture but you want to maximize the use of each furniture item you place along each wall. Examine the ways a piece of furniture can serve more than one purpose. A low dresser with several drawers can act as a television stand and a place to store extra linens, clothes, and other items. Look for narrow but high shelving units and bookshelves that make the smallest footprint but provide as much storage as possible.
Any amount of space within a studio apartment can serve as two rooms if you plan it accordingly. The sofa sleeper is probably the studio apartment owner’s best friend. Better than a Murphy bed, a sofa sleeper can serve as seating for you and guests during the day but can become a full-size bed for sleeping at night. The transition between the two is simple and any extra bedding can be stored in a closet, drawer (or storage ottoman) during the day. Make sure to test out sofa sleepers for comfort, upgrading to the best quality mattress for extended wear and comfort.
Choose the placement of your furniture carefully. Build your space around your largest piece of furniture. If you are creating an entertainment area and bedroom out of one space, position your sofa sleeper so that it is easily accessible. Use nightstands as end tables to take advantage of the extra drawer space. If you are concerned about accommodating additional overnight guests but don’t have room for an additional sofa sleeper or bed, consider a sleeper chair. Similar in size to a standard armchair, sleeper chairs fold out into twin-sized beds in the same fashion as sofa sleepers.
Take advantage of any extra space within the apartment’s bathroom and kitchen area as well. Hang organizers on available wall space to house items that are not exclusively used in any one area. Look for areas, such as deep windowsills, obscure corners, and built-ins, for potential purpose. Perhaps a deep windowsill could serve as a bar to hold glasses, mixers, and bottles, or would accommodate a flower box for growing your herb garden. Corner desks, bookshelves, and entertainment centers are other space-saving furniture options that can help improve the function of small spaces.
To avoid a detached or cluttered feel caused by limited space and the need to create multi-purpose areas, anchor separate living space with an area rug, wall art, and small accessories. If you need to separate one space from another without making a large footprint, look for room screens or use a piece of furniture as a transition piece from one area to the other. Purchase small accessories, like over-the-door hooks and organizers, that can be kept out of the way but provide good storage potential.
Prior to moving into a studio apartment, draw the floor plan on graph paper to a scale of one square inch per square foot. Draw several different furniture arrangements out, experimenting with potential placement of larger pieces and designating space to several purposes. This will give you a good idea of where to put your furniture and other household items when you arrive, as well as what specific purchases you might want to make ahead of time.
If you are downsizing to a studio apartment, place your excess furniture and household goods in storage for a few months after moving to be sure you don’t need or want it in your new place. It may take several weeks to organize and arrange things sufficiently so save the smaller items, such as accent pieces and accessories, to add at a later date.
Once you get a feel for your space and how you will use it, you will be able to arrange all the furniture and accessories in a way that maximizes function, saves space, and accommodates your lifestyle. Browse magazines, websites, furniture stores and catalogues to get additional ideas as you become accustomed to your apartment and in no time at all your new home will be perfect for the way you live.

text: Patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) are at a considerable risk for intestinal surgery. Approximately 25% of patients with CD will undergo an intestinal resection within 10 years of diagnosis. Postoperative complications after CD surgery have been reported in 20%-47% of the patients. Both general and CD-related risk factors are associated with postoperative complications, and comprise non-modifiable (e.g., age) and potentially modifiable risk factors (e.g., malnutrition). Prehabilitation focuses on the preoperative period with strategies designed to optimize modifiable risk factors concerning the physical and mental condition of the individual patient. The aim of prehabilitation is to enhance postoperative recovery and return to or even improve preoperative functional capacity. Preoperative improvement of nutritional status, physical fitness, cessation of smoking, psychological support, and critical revision of preoperative use of CD medication are important strategies. Studies of the effect on postoperative outcome in CD patients are scarce, and guidelines lack recommendations on tailored management. In this opinion review, we review the current evidence on the impact of screening and management of nutritional status, physical fitness, CD medication and laboratory values on the postoperative course following an intestinal resection in CD patients. In addition, we aim to provide guidance for individualized multimodal prehabilitation in clinical practice concerning these modifiable factors.
