German sportswear retailer BSTN to open debut UK store
Although the brand operates a highly established e-commerce operation in Europe, BSTN said it has prioritised opening a debut bricks & mortar store in the UK, “and Brixton Road in London is the ideal location for this” it said.
The area is known for its vibrant covered market arcades holding dozens of niche independent retailers.
A soft opening in a non-city centre location will give the high-profile digital retailer an opportunity to test the physical market. Meanwhile, local stores, which have build strong followings in the post-pandemic period should benefit from the extra boost an established high profile brand not yet seen on the high street.
Roberto Aufiero, CEO and co-founder of BSTN Store, said: “We’re thrilled to start the next chapter of BSTN’s journey by expanding our unique premium sportswear philosophy to London. We’re looking forward to getting even closer to our community and will do our very best to make a positive contribution to the neighbourhood.”
Olly Eades, retail surveyor at property company Savills, noted the brand would be a strong addition to the local retail landscape: “BSTN is quickly becoming one of the most high-profile sportswear brands in Europe, with exceptionally strong sales figures and a world class social media following.”

In a modern, endlessly developing world, a huge variety of techniques is required to perform a wide range of works. This concerns 100-ton crawler crane, 300-ton crawler crane, and much more. For example, crawler cranes are widely used, the application of which requires their manufacturers to continuously improve their new models.
Applications of crawler cranes
Today, the need to use crawler cranes is quite large in any field of activity. Of course, a kind of technology that will be used depends on the field of application. So, where are these cranes most in demand? By the way, Liebherr crawler cranes are rightly considered one of the leaders in their field: on the par with Terex crawler cranes, they occupy the top lines of the charts.
- Construction works. Indeed, no construction of a new building or other structure can be imagined without the LR 1300 crawler crane because it serves as the main device for lifting and lowering metal, concrete and other massive and large structures on the territory of construction works. The urgency of using this type of equipment in high-rise construction is especially high. Therefore, lifting to a higher altitude of necessary structures by means of a crane is, in fact, the only world-wide way to carry out this work.
- Repair work. Also akin to construction activities, in repair or restoration work, there is a high need for using this variety of cranes. One of the most common areas of use of this type of crane in the repair work is energy.
- Loading and shipping. A frequent phenomenon is the use of crawler cranes for loading or unloading, especially heavy and bulky cargoes. Also, this technique is preferred for use in the above-mentioned types of work in industrial warehouses. For example, when shipping pipes, reinforced concrete structures, containers, and other large objects.
There are many areas of activity in which crawler cranes have found their application. The reason for this was the design features that allow working in different conditions. The advantage of this variety of cranes in front of truck cranes is the greatest traffic due to the caterpillar traverse, which allows working confidently even in the absence of roads and in conditions difficult for the vehicles.

June 17, 2013 by Ataturk Society UK
Right Hon. David Cameron MP Prime Minister
10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA 16 June 2013
Dear Prime Minister,
We, as representatives of the British-Turkish Community, urge you to publicly condemn the un-democratic practices of the Erdogan government in Turkey. We believe this will demonstrate your commitment to democracy and human rights; and reinforce the value you attach to sustainable Anglo-Turkish relations.
The authoritarian actions of the AKP government and the police brutality against peaceful protesters have received extensive international condemnation. However, as a Prime Minister of a country renowned as the mother of parliamentary democracy, we find your statements in favour of the increasingly dictatorial regime of the Erdogan government disappointing and ill informed.
We would like to highlight that under the AKP regime, freedom of expression and independence of the judiciary, the universities, public and non-government organisations have been dismantled. Hundreds of opposition journalists, scientists, academics, lawyers, students, military personnel as well as eight democratically elected members of the Turkish Parliament have been kept in jail for years through the abuse of anti-terrorism laws.
Recent protests in all parts of Turkey and throughout the world have shown that the Turkish people will not tolerate oppression and are united in defending the secular and democratic Republic of Turkey, founded by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk ninety years ago. We therefore urge you to recognise, as the rest of the world, the true face of the Erdogan government and take the necessary steps to prevent alienating the British-Turkish community and undermining British-Turkish relations.
We greatly appreciate living in a democratic society in Britain and appeal for your support in our campaign to restore human rights and democracy in Turkey.
We look forward to your response.
Representatives of the British Turkish community

The association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D and upper gastrointestinal cancer survival, and modificatory role of weight loss
Fiona O’ Sullivan, Martin Healy, Sinead King, Jacinta O’ Sullivan, John Reynolds, and Lina Zgaga.
Department of Public Health and Primary Care, Trinity College Dublin, Republic of Ireland.
There is a growing body of literature supporting a beneficial role of vitamin D (vitD) in the survival of cancer. Contrary to this however, there is some evidence demonstrating an inverse relationship in oesophageal and gastric cancer. Weight loss in cancer patients has previously been associated with higher mortality. It has also been demonstrated that weight loss is associated with an increase vitD concentration.
The aim of this study was to examine the role of vitD in the survival of gastric and oesophageal cancer in patients particularly investigating the impact of weight loss.
270 blood samples were taken from the Oesophageal and Gastric Centre within the Trinity College Dublin from 2008-2014. There were 215 oesophageal and 55 gastric cancer cases. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) was measured using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. 25(OH)D was May-adjusted to account for variances in month of blood draw. Cox regression hazard ratios and Kaplan Meier curves were performed to estimate adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for cancer-specific and all-cause mortality comparing those with and without weight loss symptoms.
In total, 36% died from disease and 7% died from other causes (median follow up: 2.4 years). 49% experienced weight loss symptoms prior to surgery. Overall, we found that vitD had no significant effect on cancer-specific or all-cause mortality, however there was a suggestive association with those having higher vitD experiencing higher all-cause mortality (HR=1.6, P-val=0.052). During stratified analysis it was found that those who experienced weight loss had significantly poorer survival than those who did not (HR=1.67, P-val=0.02). Moreover, higher VitD concentration was found to be associated with poorer survival in those who lost weight in cancer-specific (HR=4.15, P-val=0.0002) and all-cause mortality (HR=3.67, P-val=0.0001), while it has no effect on those who did not have weight loss symptoms (p-val=0.49 and 0.65, respectively).
The role vitD in the survival of oesophageal and gastric cancer was found to differ depending on weight loss symptoms. Possible mechanisms need to be explored as to why weight loss impacts upon the role of vitD in survival.

Water-rock interaction in a hot dry rock system
The geochemistry of water-rock interaction in a Hot Dry Rock (HDR) geothermal system has been studied. This report presents a comprehensive summary of the studies done by the collaborating groups: Department of Chemistry - University of Antwerp (Belgium), Laboratoire de Géochimie des Eaux - Université Paris VII (France), British Geological Survey - Keyworth (UK) and Mineralogical Institute - University of Karlsruhe (FRG). The main topics reported are the reaction kinetics and the investigations of the reacted heat exchanger fluids, the reacted minerals/rocks, the precipitation of secondary minerals, the mineral transformations and the dissolution behaviour of the trace elements. Results obtained from this study could be used to predict the long-term effect of operating an HDR system.

New Delhi, Jun 20 : She is a French married to a small town Indian and they often poke fun at each other's diction but Kalki Koechlin says she is mesmerised by her husband, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap.
The 28-year-old actress was born to French parents and brought up in Pondicherry while Kashyap hails from Uttar Pradesh. They may come from two different worlds but Kalki says they were always meant to be together.
“I am still mesmerised by this boy (Kashyap). We are very different. He is a village boy who has now become this successful filmmaker. I make fun of his English and he makes fun of my Hindi, but we keep each other on the edge all the time,” Kalki told PTI.
The actress who married the director-producer in a quiet ceremony in Ooty earlier this year, said that she married early as she wants her marriage to last longer.
“I dated him for three years. We were together for quite some time and so we decided to get married. I married early because I feel that the earlier we get married, the longer it lasts,” she said.
Kalki, who rose to prominence with her award-winning performance in ‘Dev D' said that the director was initially reluctant to cast her in the film.
“Anurag didn't want to cast me in Dev D as I was a model and that too a European. But after the auditions he was impressed and he called me back,” she said.
The actress whose latest film ‘Shaitan' has hit the screens said that she has been a ‘drama queen' but of late feels like a grandmother.
“I am a drama queen. I look sweet and docile but in reality I am just the opposite. I used to be very mischievous during my childhood. But now at times I feel like a grandmother,” Kalki said. PTI

Ask a Doctor: Benefits of drinking alcohol
Question: Is alcohol good or bad for you?
Answer: I hear this question often, even among patients with known heart problems, so I have researched the subject. Based on that, and on my own observations of local patients for more than 25 years, the short answer is that four to five alcoholic drinks per week provide the maximum protection to your heart. Those who can’t or do not wish to drink alcohol may benefit from drinking red grape juice instead.
On the other hand, heavy drinking, or more than three to four drinks per day, is a very bad idea for a number of health reasons. Heavy drinking leads to higher death rates, high blood pressure, cancer and various heart conditions.
I believe it’s best to limit the frequency for alcoholic beverages to four drinks per week, spread out over the week and not consumed at the same time. I don’t think it matters if you drink beer, alcohol or wine, but some studies show a slightly higher benefit from red wine. In that case, four to five half-glasses of red wine per week would provide the most benefit. Beer drinkers may not be as satisfied with just one serving.
Research clearly shows the benefits of light drinking for people who have coronary artery disease, or narrowed blood vessels due to build-up of plaque, or congestive heart failure. Light drinking also does not appear to increase your risk of stroke, although heavy drinking certainly does.
Women may have slightly less tolerance than men, and the rate of breast cancer appears to increase with heavier drinking. For those reasons, men may have one to two drinks per day while women may have only up to one drink per day.
The amount of alcohol in a drink can vary substantially, and terms such as light, moderate and heavy drinking mean different things to different people. These definitions are not agreed upon by all researchers.
Of course, every patient is different and may react differently to alcohol. If you have questions or concerns, discuss them with your personal physician. But in general, I believe it’s safe to say that four to five servings of alcohol spread out over the course of a week can offer important benefits to your heart.

Joshua has been a picture-taking machine lately. He asks for his camera all the time (being only four, he gets it under adult supervision... mostly) and takes photos of the most random things. Some are things he thinks are beautiful and wants "to remember them forever." Other times, he's just playing Cars 2 and pretending to be Finn McMissile, taking photos of the "bad guys." And then there are the videos of him chasing the cats. It's always an adventure.
Here are a few gems I discovered on his camera. Unedited, because "Edit your own photos, kid!"
His first bathroom selfie
Saving the memory of these beautiful flowers
He is currently obsessed with leaves (we have a bag full of them on our counter to prove it). This shot would have been pretty cool if that darn strap didn't get in the way.
Pumpkins! (Another current obsession)
I finally convinced him to turn off the flash (we weren't going to blind people in Cracker Barrel) and he got this really nice photo.
Nice shot of the horses at Animal Appreciation Day
From Where I Stand: at the soccer field
Most of the photos are of ordinary items around the house. Clickers make awesome photos, eh?
I'm not sure what he says at the end, but I hope it's nothing bad (something about a mirror?). 99% of the videos on here are of the cats. I liked this one with his cute little toes.
Not too bad for a little man, eh? It will be
scary interesting to see him on Instagram in ten years or so!

Safeway Inc. doesn’t seem to know exactly how much their CEO made last year, or any year before that. They’ve released financial reports year after year which show CEO Steve Burd’s compensation to be somewhere around $11 million dollars. This doesn’t include the over $200 thousand that he receives as the chairman of the board for the Kohl’s Corporation. We’ve written story after story here on our blog about his hefty salary. We’ve even reminded you that it would take over 300 years for the average worker to equal just one year of his compensation.
Those are some pretty intense figures, aren’t they?
It’s pretty ironic that Safeway suddenly doesn’t quite know what their CEO makes. They are alleging that two proxy advisory companies that are calling for shareholders to vote ‘No’ on the incentive pay plan that’s being proposed for the May 15th meeting have their numbers wrong. The grocery chain is claiming that there is a huge difference between what they call, “reported compensation” and “realized compensation”. What does this mean? Essentially, Safeway is saying that while they have reported that Burd’s compensation in 2011 was $11.5 million, those are not the real figures. They claim that while he COULD have received $11.5 million, he only actually took home $4 million. Safeway was so alarmed by the mention of the compensation amount that’s listed in all of their publicly accessible company documents that they issued a response just to debunk the “myth”. This seems a little extreme for them to do. In fact, they seemed to be a bit emotional when they wrote the release. They say on page 2, “Is ISS really serious about this criticism?” The document itself is 5 pages long and includes a graph and charts. They must really want this proposal to pass.
Why is Safeway so upset that someone is challenging their proposal that would provide even more money to the entire top of the company?
Both proxy advisory companies, ISS Proxy Advisory Services and Glass Lewis & Co have said that Burd and the rest of Safeway’s board are compensated too well, considering the company’s overall performance. We have to agree with them. There are many stories that have been written about Burd over the years. We’ve yet to find one where the company request a retraction to correct the CEO’s compensation amount. The figures that the company should be focused on involve their rank and file workers on the shop floors. The average grocery worker at Safeway is still fighting to get enough hours to work on a weekly basis. The lack of hours isn’t because the stores aren’t busy, because they are. We’d like to think that the money could be better allocated at the store level where the customers that make Safeway profitable are directly served by us.
We’ll be watching on May 15 and we hope you will too. Join us as we watch Safeway’s Annual Shareholder Meeting live at 4:30 PM ET. On May 15, you can visit this link to see the meeting broadcast live under their “Webcast” header: http://www.safeway.com/investor_relations

Clarke Clarke Devil 370PD 2 8kW Quartz Halogen Infrared Heater 230V
Providing instant, clean, odour free infrared heat, the Devil 370PD heater is ideal when spot heating of objects or persons is required. As the elements will only heat solid objects, rather than air, they are extremely efficient as 95% of input energy is converted into heat output. The Devil 370PD also features an LCD panel to show ambient temperature, 24 hour programmable timer, remote control and eco mode. It also has a tilt switch to ensure automatic switch off if it tipped over for added safety. This product also benefits from 4 swivel wheels making it easy to move around. Please note: This product is only suitable for well insulated areas and is not designed to be the primary heat source. Some images for illustrative purposes only, colour may vary.


If reliable sources within the industry are to be believed, veteran filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya has finally found his leading lady in Sonam Kapoor.
Even though several names were discussed, sources say, Sonam was always Barjatya’s first and only choice to romance Salman Khan in his 2015 Diwali release.
While we await an official confirmation to confirm the development, the pre-production work is in progress as the film will go on floors in the third week of May 2014.
Salman has previously shared screen-space with Sonam in her debut film Saawariya, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Meanwhile, Neil Nitin Mukesh has also been signed to play Salman’s step brother in the film. His role will have shades of grey.
What do you think of the Salman – Sonam pairing? We think the two will look great together. Sonam is exactly the same age as Deepika Padukone, who was earlier rumoured to be a part of the film.

“Nashville” is getting a new superstar. Rhiannon Giddens, of the Carolina Chocolate Drops, is joining the show when it movies over to CMT. Giddens Tweeted today that her character will be named Hallie Jordan. Here’s the thing– that photo does not do her justice. Also, in addition to having an amazing voice, Giddens plays a lot of instruments including the violin/fiddle. With rumors of Connie Britton exiting, Rhiannon could take over this show. She almost starred on Broadway in “Shuffle Along,” replacing Audra McDonald, but producers decided to close instead. It was our loss! Now there’s a whole new big reason to follow “Nashville” to its new home on January 5, 2017. This is going to be something.

Pyramids of Egypt to Pyramids of Mexico
Like to spend money to hang around the pyramids in Giza (Egypt) for two days, I spent six hours just for walking around Teotihuacan (Mexico). The most unforgettable moment is when a backpacker like me leaned back into the top of Pyramid and slept.
Ancient Wonder of the Egypt desert
When sitting in a room full of coffins with groggy lights of Khufu’s Great Pyramid, I wondered what has happened here 46 centuries ago, when the power Pharaoh rested in peace.
This nearly vertical wooden ladder was made later to lead tourists up to this room. Only people, who are very curious, have enough patience to queue in a long line of travelers stooped and gasping due to air intake restriction.
Although there was nothing much to see inside, but a journey of climbing to the highest chamber of the largest pyramids of Egypt was a very unforgettable experience.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu, the first pyramid at Giza was completed in 2600 BC, then the next is pyramid of Khafre – the only architecture that has retained very little limestone surface on the top, and finally Menkaure pyramid – the smallest architecture.
Through this long time, these incredible architectures still stand between burning deserts and challenge humanity intellectual in finding ways to build them.
While scholars remain absorbed in seeking answers, thousands of tourists come here from all over the world every day, experience the feeling on a camel’s back, climb up stone steps of the Cheops pyramid or visit ancient buildings under desert sun. So It’s not surprising to hear that 11% of annual GDP Egypt is a share of tourism industry.
The world third largest pyramid in Mexico
Unlike pyramids at Giza that is resting places of the Pharaoh, Teotihuacan was once a city spread over 20 km2. Before being destroyed and fell into oblivion since 650 AD, Teotihuacan was the home of 125,000 people in 500 years.
Later, the area became a place of worship of the Aztecs with temples, palaces, and of course, giant pyramids. The Aztecs believed that the Gods had sacrificed themselves here to make the Sun moving while “Fifth world” begins.
(In the faith of Aztecs, they said that they live in “the fifth world” next to four worlds being destroyed by the death of sun and mankind. To the Aztecs, killed people were for for health god is to keep the sun continues to live.)
Pyramid Del Sol (Pyramid of the Sun) and Pyramid del Luna (Pyramid of the Moon) are two of the most prominent architectures remained of the largest ancient Mexico.
Pyramid of the Sun can be seen as the pride of the Mexican people because this is the third largest pyramid in the world.
It is believed that today the pyramid of the Sun is located in the place that was used to adore the Sun god before the pyramid was built.
It’s amazing to know that pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan has the same length of bottom edge with the Great Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt.
Whether in terms of age, pyramid of the Sun is just “juniors” which was completed in 150 AD. Not only that, height of Pyramid of the Sun is less than half of architecture in Giza (65m compared to 144m).
Contrary to the pyramids in Giza of Egypt, those were made by big heavy rocks and tighted together without any adhesive, two pyramids of the Sun and Moon use stone, gravel and soil.
The amount of rocks and soil, that was used to build this unique architecture in Teotihuacan, is only about 2.5 million tons, while to build up the pyramid of Khufu, the Egyptians had to use 6.5 tons of rocks.
248 is exactly the number of steps that you have to climb over the top of the Sun pyramid. This is the place of best views down the old city below. Unlike stretch of sandy desert in Cairo, green country scene is surrounding the pyramids in Teotihuacan.
Cluster of Giza pyramids are not the only pyramids in Egypt. If you have a passion for this type of architecture, you can visit many pyramids in the suburban of Cairo as the red Pyramid, Pyramid of floors (Step pyramid of Zoser).
Particularly with the pyramid in Giza, Cairo: Not many people get a chance to get inside of pyramid of Khufu, if not come here early in the ticketing hours. Every day, there are only 300 tickets sold and two times: 150 tickets early in the morning and 150 tickets in early afternoon, 100 Egyptian pounds / ticket.
Egypt has very strict requirements for travelers inside the pyramid: do not make photos or films. Recording device is required to leave in the car or at the entrance.
If you do not wish to visit inside of the pyramids, ticket fare is 60/30 Egyptian pound (adult / student) sold freely every day. However, this ticket allows you to visit outside of the pyramids and the Sphinx.
In order to come to Teotihuacan, you can catch a bus from Terminal Autobuses del Norte, Mexico City, for $ 40 Mexican Pesos / way. The bus from Mexico will stop in the gate 1 after an hour.
To return to the city, you walk to the gate 2 to catch a bus. Fare is 57 Pesos.
Weather in the Giza, Cairo and Teotihuacan is quite hot during day. Remember to bring a hat and drink if you plan to walk for several hours. If you have heart disease or arthritis, consider before deciding to climb the pyramids.

Cultural heritage tourist attractions in a region provide the grounds for activating hidden capacities to respond to needs, improve the conditions, and create new opportunities. Despite its possession of such attractions, Kalat County has not received the attention and elevated position it merits due to the absence of a comprehensive plan for coordinated management in this field. Thus, the present implrmrnyd strategic planning to develop cultural heritage tourism in this region (accentuating its historical buildings and monuments) and adopts a descriptive-analytic approach using secondary research (study of theoretical and experimental frameworks) and survey (observation, Working group brainstorming sessions and interviews with the snowball sampling method) to collect data, portrays the region's strategic position through a matrix of internal and external factors, and illustrates the plan’s expected position in a vision statement. Four groups of strategies obtained from the factors on the SWOT matrix were then proposed and ranked in QSPM quantitative model. Policies, action plans, and practical recommendations were ultimately presented to accomplish the objective.
Results indicated the significance of strategies aimed at “Economic prosperity of cultural heritage attraction” and “Consolidation of the identity and essence of cultural heritage attractions” as the first and second priorities in the development plan, followed by “Provision of material, intellectual, and spiritual enrichment for tourist,” “Preserving quality and continuation of the physical and visual connection between cultural heritage attractions and their environment,” and “legal and political-administrative stabilization of the region” ranking third to fifth, respectively.

1/11/22: Updated with statement from Chris Prynoski.
Animation workers at Titmouse New York studios have overwhelmingly voted to join The Animation Guild, IATSE Local 839 — the first animation workers and production staff to do so in more than three decades.
More than 90% of animation workers at the studio signed union representation cards with The Animation Guild, IATSE Local 839. In response, Titmouse voluntarily recognized the unit, which was certified by a neutral arbitrator on Jan. 7, 2022. This means that a committee of engaged Titmouse New York workers will soon sit at the bargaining table to negotiate their first union contract.
“This historic moment has given me a sense of agency I never thought I could be afforded in the workplace, especially as a production worker,” says Production Supervisor Gray Rothey, a member of the Titmouse New York Organizing Committee. “Unionization felt unattainable until I saw the unstoppable force that is this organizing effort. I feel a deep sense of gratitude and relief knowing that this means current and future generations of New York artists and production staff will have their voices heard.”
The organizing work done by the Titmouse crew is a testament to the power of animation workers coming together to demand an end to unsustainable workplace practices and provide a collective voice on issues that directly impact them on the job. This organizing milestone is the first time that The Animation Guild will represent animation workers outside of Los Angeles County since its charter was signed 70 years ago.
“It is wild to look back on where I was two years ago, making pennies, struggling to break in and knowing that if I was to have a stable livelihood in this industry, I’d have to leave everything behind and go West. That was always the only choice I had. Now I am here standing with my fellow workers, thrilled to fully understand just how much of a choice we do have when we combine our voices and refuse to compromise,” comments story artist T. Curry.
The Animation Guild is the only union representing animation artists and animation production workers in the United States. A sister local, the Canadian Animation Union, IATSE Local 938, formed in the last year and negotiated a first contract for Titmouse Vancouver workers.
“This historic moment is a cause for celebration as we begin a nationwide effort to ensure all animation workers are treated with respect and are afforded the same benefits and protections as those who are working in Southern California,” says The Animation Guild Business Representative Steve Kaplan.
Key issues for the animation workers include defining job roles and classifying workers accurately, addressing unrealistic schedules, paying overtime appropriately, improving health benefits and establishing wage minimums to ensure a livable salary.
“I’m overjoyed that my students and young peers will be able to thrive in an environment that supports them from today forward,” comments story artist Chrissy Felmeth. “To my fellow New Yorkers in animation and production, I’m confident that our collective pain is being recognized now that we have a seat at the table.”
Background artist Yves Menshikova adds, “What this historic moment of unionizing means to me is a step closer to a brighter future for animation workers not just at Titmouse, not just in New York, but the animation community at large. I’m hoping that our victory here will be a catalyst for creating representation for animation workers spanning from coast to coast that aims to leave no one behind.”
Founded by Chris and Shannon Prynoski, Titmouse is an award-winning independent animation company employing over 700 creatives across its three studios in Los Angeles, New York and Vancouver. Its recent work includes Big Mouth Season 5 (Netflix), Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 2 (Paramount+), Harriet the Spy (Apple TV+), Fairfax (Prime Video) and the AREA21 music video series.
“We are proud of the Titmouse artists in NY and support them as we move into the future together! Responsible employment practices are the foundation of our artist-driven studios,” said Titmouse Founder & President Chris Prynoski in a follow-up statement. “Following our voluntary recognition of the unit, we look forward to the opportunity to work with IATSE as we explore the first agreement for our NY-based employees.”
The Animation Guild, also known as Local 839 of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), was founded in 1952. The labor union represents more than 5,000 artists, technicians and writers in the animation industry, advocating for workers to improve wages and conditions.


• Record beating satellite for Russian operator RSCC
• Most powerful Eurostar E3000 built by Airbus Defence and Space teaming with Khrunichev
• Largest Express satellite ever to serve major governmental and commercial interests for the Russian federation
• 50th Eurostar satellite to orbit
Toulouse, 19 July 2011 – The Express AM4 satellite, designed and manufactured by Airbus Defence and Space teaming with Khrunichev for RSCC, has left Airbus Defence and Space’s facility in Toulouse, where it had undergone its final integration and test campaign. Express AM4 will now be transported by a Russian Antonov aircraft to Baikonur, Kazakhstan, in preparation for its launch by a Khrunichev Proton Breeze M vehicle in August 2011.
Express AM4, to be positioned at 80°E, is the largest Express satellite ever ordered by national Russian operator RSCC. This telecommunications satellite is built in the frame of a partnership between the European spacecraft manufacturer Airbus Defence and Space and the Russian company Khrunichev Space Center.
RSCC is focused primarily on the development of satellite communications for fixed and broadcast services in the Russian Federation to secure the common information network across the country. RSCC currently operates 11 satellites from 14°W to 140°E in geostationary orbit, and is currently looking for high power satellites to complement its existing fleet and fulfil growing needs for satellite capacity. Express AM4 is the first and major milestone in this ambitious programme.
Express AM4 is based on the highly successful Airbus Defence and Space’s Eurostar E3000 satellite design. The satellite will be delivered in orbit by Khrunichev Space Center using the Proton launch vehicle. Launch and Early Orbit Phase operations will be conducted from the Airbus Defence and Space spacecraft control centre in Toulouse.
Express AM4 has a 63 active transponders communications payload operating in L, C, Ku and Ka bands for its planned 15-year service life in orbit. Its twelve antennas will provide high performance coverage over the Russian Federation and the CIS countries and its steerable antennas can be used to provide communication to any point within the satellite’s visibility. With an electrical power of more than 16 kW, Express AM4 is the most powerful satellite ever built in Europe.
Express AM4 will become the 50th Eurostar satellite to reach geostationary orbit, with Airbus Defence and Space’s Eurostar series having accumulated more than 400 years of successful in-orbit operations.

August is the time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Vine- ripened tomatoes, fresh cucumbers and sweet, ripe melons are wonderful. Here are a few tips to help you continue to enjoy your garden.
- Keep your plants growing strong. A small amount of fertilizer can help tomatoes and peppers regenerate new foliage that will keep the plant productive into the fall. Most fall crops should already be planted. Keep them fertilized, weeded and watered.
- Downy mildew is now common on grape, cucumber and cantaloupe leaves. It produces an angular lesion on the underside of the leaf. Downy mildew blew in from the south a few weeks ago. It produces thousands of spores that then infect new plants. Downy mildew also can infect pumpkins and winter squash but the strain that infects those plants has not yet arrived in this area.
- Powdery mildew is also in our gardens now. Powdery mildew is the white powdery-looking growth that also infects vine crops and squash. Washing the mildew off of the leaves with a garden hose helps to slow down the spread of downy mildew.
- Squash bugs are now abundant on squash and pumpkins. Examine your plants each week and remove any bugs you find. Latex gloves will help keep their smell off your hands. Stink bugs can be controlled the same way.
- Continue the summer- long battle against weeds. Do not let them go to seed in your garden.
- Plan now for a fall-planted cover crop. Wheat and rye work well. You can work them into your soil in early spring.
- Late blight has not been confirmed on tomatoes in our area yet. If you think you have late blight, contact your county extension office ASAP. If you are protecting your plants with a fungicide, it should be applied on a weekly basis. Be sure to read and follow the label directions.
For more information, contact your local Cooperative Extension office. In Lackawanna County, call 963-6842 and ask for the Garden Helpline or email Lackawanna MG@psu.edu.

My side of this kindness coin felt heavy. I felt cheated of a solid foundation, a stable upbringing and any real connection with her. I felt like the addiction always won – my sisters and I would ask her to recognize this to no avail, only to be left sobbing from verbal insults spewing from her enraged state.
April 7 2021
I look towards the companies who do things differently, who create opportunities for themselves, who support those around them and in their community as they continue on their journey, who do their best each day to keep doing what they are doing. And I celebrate them and support them.

Keep an eye out for this upcoming book by Katherine Barber
African American Breastfeeding Alliance - a wonderful resource dedicated to providing information, education and support for breast feeding within the African American community.
Breast Feeding Telephone Support from AABA
Mon- Fri 9-5pm est. Call toll-free at (877) 532-8535.
What an amazing concept! The perfect food, custom made for your baby, always balanced nutritionally, sterile, correct temperature and readily accessible - breast feeding is certainly best feeding! The only problem is that despite endless benefits for both mom and baby, African American women do not breastfeed their babies as often or for as long as their white counterparts. I often tell my patients that although they do their very best to take care of their baby during their pregnancy, the most important part once the baby is born, is to continue the same level of nutrition that the placenta was providing. There is no such thing at the store as "Formula for Jennie's Baby" - it's called by it's brand name and is absolutely the same every time. Change only comes when the newest version of "closest to breast milk" comes out. We allow ourselves to accept something that is not yet advertised as "the same as breast milk", knowing that it will probably never be able to be the same, but we buy into the supposed convenience, modesty and, sadly, tradition that says it is ok to feed our children this way. Consider that breast milk is designed for each individual fetus and like our blood types "matches" the baby better than any other form of nutrition that could be provided. If your baby needed a blood transfusion and matched your blood type, would you ask the doctor to check with the blood bank first, or would you be donating your blood?

MANY Ukrainian families that arrived in Spain after Russia’s invasion last year still have not received a penny of their promised €400 per month payments.
168,000 Ukrainians have been registered by the Interior Ministry as under temporary protection in the country.
A €52.8 million fund to help the most vulnerable refugees was promised last June, with money being paid out by Spain’s 17 regional governments.
Besides the €400 payment, families judged to be ‘at risk’ would also get an extra €100 per child per month.
Nothing has happened though with areas like the Valencian Community, which has the highest number of Ukrainians in Spain, Murcia, Catalunya, and Madrid are yet to start paying out from the fund.
The El Pais newspaper has reported that four other regions are also in the same position.
Valencian president, Ximo Puig, pledged last week that money would start being available from this month, with similar promises coming from Catalunya and Madrid, with the three regions accounting for two-thirds of Ukraine refugees under temporary protection.
The Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security, and Migration confirmed to El Pais that it distributed the money to the regional administrations last October.
Refugees could not apply until December in Catalunya and the Valencian Community and late November in Madrid.
Catalunya has so far received over 6,000 application for money.
The central government has blamed the regions for the delays, with the Ministry stating that it fulfilled its obligation by handing over the cash.
Administrations in Catalunya and Madrid claim the complexity of the required documentation for the hold-up, as well as the national government.

New York professor to resign from psychology society over ‘antiracism’ requirements
'[T]hese mandatory statements force many academics to betray their quasi-fiduciary duty to the truth by spinning, twisting, or otherwise inventing some tenuous connection to diversity,' Haidt wrote.
Haidt stated he would resign his position 'at the end of this year, when my membership dues run out' if the new policy remained in place.
New York University’s Stern School of Business social psychologist Jonathan Haidt recently announced his upcoming resignation from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP) due to the organization's new diversity, equity, and inclusion policy.
In an article for Heterodox Academy, Haidt explained that in order for him to present research at the SPSP Annual Convention in 2023, he would have to “submit a statement explaining ‘whether and how this submission advances the equity, inclusion, and anti-racism goals of SPSP’” per the new policy.
The co-author of The Coddling of the American Mind acknowledged that diversity was not a new phenomenon at SPSP but had not “objected publicly” despite believing “[m]ost academic work has nothing to do with diversity.”
“[T]hese mandatory statements force many academics to betray their quasi-fiduciary duty to the truth by spinning, twisting, or otherwise inventing some tenuous connection to diversity,” Haidt wrote.
In the article, Haidt admits the change in terms compelled him to criticize the new requirement.

“The SPSP mandate, however, forced us all to do something more explicitly ideological. Note that the word diversity was dropped and replaced by anti-racism…so I knew that I could no longer stay silent,” Haidt said.
Haidt contacted the president of SPSP Laura King to protest the new requirement.
King replied that SPSP’s mission “should involve amplifying the voices of those who have historically been underrepresented in our field.”
Haidt agreed but felt the method did not accomplish the goal.
“That is a view I agree with: Diversity stated in that unobjectionable form can be a value of the organization,” Haidt argued. “But (like all values), I think it must not be raised to a second telos.”
King also told Haidt that she was “not super clear on why anti-racism is viewed as problematic.”

After King made it clear that the new policy was here to stay, Haidt decided it was “time for [an] exit.”
“I cannot remain loyal to an organization that is changing its telos and asking its members to violate their quasi-fiduciary duties to the truth,” Haidt wrote. “I am especially dubious of the wisdom of making an academic organization more overtly political in its mission, especially in the midst of a raging culture war, when trust in universities is plummeting.”
Haidt concluded the article by stating he would resign his position “at the end of this year, when my membership dues run out” if the new policy remained in place.
Campus Reform contacted Haidt, King, SPSP, and the Stern School of Business. This article will be updated accordingly.

House Speaker: ‘No Disrespect’ Bill Not Targeted at Any One Individual
Disrespect a Hawaii legislator and you could face additional penalties under a new House proposal, House Bill 2751, introduced January 25 by House Speaker Calvin Say.
Speaker Say told Hawaii Reporter: “HB 2751 is intended to assist in the maintenance of order and decorum during legislative sessions and committee hearings. The bill applies to the disruption caused by any person, no matter the person’s reason for the disruption or viewpoint on any issue.
“HB 2751 is a product of the House leadership’s discussion of disruptions that occurred in the House and Senate chambers in the recent past. During the discussion, House leadership and staff determined that the policies and procedures for keeping order in the House chambers and committee rooms during sessions and hearings may need clarification. HB 2571 is intended to provide the clarification.
He notes a companion bill, SB 3026, has been introduced in the Senate.
The legislation, which has been referred to two committees for review, dictates those making “loud, boisterous or incessant shouts,” refusing to remain seated, assaulting any member of the legislature or the public or threatening bodily harm to legislators or members of the public, will be arrested and charged with a misdemeanor.
Hawaii lawmakers have been under verbal attack this year and last by Mitchell Kahle, a self declared Atheist, and his small band of associates, who have pushed both the Senate and City Council to stop its daily opening prayer. The House, headed by Say, has so far refused to stop its opening prayer held daily on session days. Kahle continues to show up at the capitol and the Catholic Cathedral in downtown Honolulu during the Legislative “red mass” and shout at lawmakers during the prayer.
But Say maintains the bill “is not directed at any particular individual.”
City Proposes $450 Million Line of Credit for Rail Project
The Federal Transit Administration ordered the city administration December 29 to “further strengthen” the financial plan for its proposed $5.3 billion rail project.
After meeting with FTA Administrator Peter Rogoff in Washington D.C. on January 18, Honolulu Mayor Peter Carlisle announced yesterday the city will establish a $450 million line of credit.
But University of Hawaii Professor Panos Prevedouros said the open line of credit based on bond float for repayment means that the local taxpayer will shoulder 100 percent of cost overruns.
Bond based line of credit is the worst possible deal, Prevedouros said, and there is no cap.
The public will have a chance to weigh in at a public hearing on the matter, but Council Chair Ernie Martin is already supportive.
The city has collected $810 million in General Excise Tax surcharge revenues for rail and contracted more than 50 percent of the construction.
But there is still a good chance the rail project could be stopped.
There is federal lawsuit challenging its environmental impact and former Gov. Benjamin Cayetano, a rail opponent who has never lost an election in 28 years in office, is now running for Honolulu Mayor to put a halt to it.
Hearing on Controversial Undersea Cable Will Be Held in Senate Today
Should there be an undersea cable from the Hawaiian Islands to transfer power from Maui County to the more populated island of Oahu?
The Senate takes up the controversial issue on Thursday via Senate Bill 2785.
Henry Curtis, spokesperson for Life of the Land, said there are cheaper and more reliable ways to increase renewable energy.
Curtis maintains and many agree Hawaii needs a robust and inclusive community driven process for developing and promoting our energy future.
But powerful politicians are supporting the project, including U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye and Gov. Neil Abercrombie.

In an outspoken interview, the European Commission president said the UK would be to blame for any fallout for a chaotic exit for the bloc – as the EU “did not invent the Brexit”.
Mr Juncker said he wanted to reach an agreement with the UK but the EU had to protect the safety of its citizens.
The Irish border issue has been a major stumbling block in the Brexit negotiations, as Boris Johnson has demanded that the backstop – a contingency plan to prevent a hard border by keeping the UK aligned with many of Brussels’ rules – should be scrapped.
He told Sky News’s Ridge on Sunday: “We have to make sure that the interests of the European Union and of the internal market will be preserved.
“An animal entering Northern Ireland without border control can enter without any kind of control the European Union via the southern part of the Irish island.
“This will not happen. We have to preserve the health and the safety of our citizens.”
Meanwhile, foreign secretary Dominic Raab rejected any suggestion that Northern Ireland could have different customs and regulatory arrangements from the rest of the UK, telling BBC1’s Andrew Marr Show: “As a general overarching [arrangement] across all of the rules, no, of course that would be wrong.”
He added: “There couldn’t be a Northern Ireland-only backstop in its entirety in the way it was proposed previously. But on agri-food, and the question of the way the island of Ireland is already managed, that is something in a very discrete area where we can continue talking. But it must have the consent of the parties in Northern Ireland.”
Mr Raab said he was “confident there’s a deal to be done” and insisted the UK was making “good progress” in talks.
“I think what’s necessary now is for the EU to match some of the words that we heard from Jean-Claude Juncker with the detailed negotiations to remove the undemocratic backstop, to be clear we can transition to a best-in-class free trade agreement,” he said. “I think that would be good for the UK but also for the EU.”
Mr Juncker accused some unnamed MPs of “forgetting about the history” of the border in Ireland and fired off a warning that a no deal could see a return to the violence of the past.
The commission president said: “I don’t like a border because after the Good Friday Agreement, and this Good Friday Agreement has to be respected in all its parts, the situation in Ireland has improved.
“We should not play with this ... Sometimes I have to question that some people are forgetting about the history.”
The senior Brussels official also sought to blame the UK for any fallout caused by a no-deal Brexit, amid frustration in EU circles over perceived attempts from the UK government to shift responsibility away from London.
He said: “The EU is in no way responsible for any kind of consequences entailed by the Brexit.
“That’s a British decision, a sovereign decision that we are respecting but don’t try... not you but to charge the European Union with the responsibility.
“The European Union is not leaving the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom is leaving the European Union.”
Asked who is responsible, he said: “The United Kingdom. Because we did not invent the Brexit.
“We were never pleading in favour of any kind of Brexit. That’s a British decision and so it has to be dealt with in that way.”
His comments came after a meeting with Mr Johnson in Luxembourg last week, when the country’s prime minister Xavier Bettel left an empty podium for his UK counterpart at a press conference.
Mr Juncker said: “I don’t know if this is helpful. I rather consider that this was not very helpful but it’s his decision.”

The rap legend held nothing back when he stepped up to the camera under a parking deck with his crew standing in the backdrop with vintage cars. The moment was ripe for all things happening in the country politically and socially, and vintage Eminem once again came through, showing hip hop is alive and well. From Trump twitter fingers to war with NFL players, Em touched on every topic in an expletive-laced freestyle that will have the President fuming today.
Slim Shady even name drops the 44th President Barrack Obama at the start of his freestyle. "But we better give Obama props cause what we've got in office now's a kamikaze that'll probably cause a nuclear holocaust," Eminem raps. "When he attacks the NFL so we focus on that, and Instead of talking Puerto Rico or gun reform for Nevadoa, all these horrible tragedies and he's bored or would rather cause a Twitter storm with the Packers."
Eminem even called out his fans who are supporters of Trump telling them to decide who they rather support and if its a draw and they can't decide, then they get a big FU and a middle finger at the end. Another iconic moment in the BET Awards Cypher was when Eminem held up his fist in support of black NFL players who are using their platforms as star athletes to protest racial injustice in America.

Reuters, Nov. 9, 2018 - "“President Trump’s new asylum ban is illegal. Neither the president nor his cabinet secretaries can override the clear commands of U.S. law, but that’s exactly what they’re trying to do,” Omar Jadwat of the American Civil Liberties Union said in a statement. ... Stephen Yale-Loehr, a professor at Cornell Law School, said the administration may struggle to justify the national security concerns underpinning the order, as the flow of migrants across the southern border has fallen in recent years. “We also have an obligation under international law not to return people to a country where they fear persecution,” he said."

When creating drawing templates, you can include a number of settings and options to help customize your template to meet your exact requirements. One way to customize your drawing template is to add specific SOLIDWORKS predefined views as required.
Let’s say for example the majority of our products require a front view, a right view, a top view, and an isometric view. Rather than having to create these exact same four views for every single new drawing we create, we can create a drawing template with these four “pre-defined” views in our drawing. To insert any predefined views we may want we can navigate to Insert > Drawing View > Predefined, and insert predefined views as needed.
Now, we can save this out as a drawing template let’s call this template ‘B_Size_ANSI_4View’ for example. After saving the template, whenever you use this template to create a drawing it will automatically be populated by four views we just predefined.
As you can see in this example the top plate is automatically given the four specified views in the drawing. This can be a huge time saving when creating drawing templates, as you can not only insert the exact vies you need but you can also set up those view locations and settings to help automate drawing procedures even further!

Trump has portrait of “Indian killer” Andrew Jackson looking over his daily moves in Oval Office.
Published September 25, 2019
WASHINGTON — The White House released a transcript of the telephone call between President Donald Trump and Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky held on July 25, 2019. In the call, President Trump asks Zelensky to do a “favor” by investigating former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.
The White House says the transcript is “not a verbatim transcript.”
During the call, Trump asks Zelensky talk to U.S. Attorney General William Barr and his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who has no formal position with the United States government.
The release of the transcript comes on the heels of the U.S. House of Representatives beginning an impeachment inquiry of Trump.


Tesla Added 27 More V3 Supercharger Stations to its Charging Network in China Last Month
【Summary】Electric automaker Tesla continues to build out its charging network in China at a rapid pace. The company added 27 new Supercharger stations last month comprising 147 charging piles, local media outlet CnEVPost reported on Friday. The new Tesla Superchargers are located in 20 Chinese cities, including Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Shanghai. All of the new chargers are Tesla's more powerful V3 Superchargers.
Electric automaker Tesla continues to build out its charging network in China at a rapid pace. The company added 27 new Supercharger stations last month comprising 147 charging piles, local media outlet CnEVPost reported on Friday.
The new Tesla Superchargers are located in 20 Chinese cities, including Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Shanghai. All of the new chargers are more powerful V3 chargers, according to CnEVPost.
To date, Tesla has installed more than 1,100 Supercharger stations in the Chinese mainland, including more than 8,500 individual charging piles. The company also has over 700 destination charging stations offering more than 1,800 charging piles, with more on the way.
Tesla is also adding Supercharger stations in Beijing, Tianjin, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and Chongqing, CnEVPost reported. Some of these new stations will be operational this month.
The newly-launched V3 Superchargers were built at Tesla's supercharger manufacturing factory in Shanghai, which started production on Feb 3, 2021.
The 54,000 square foot factory currently has an annual capacity to build 10,000 Superchargers. Most being built in China are the more powerful V3 chargers. Tesla invested 420 million yuan (US$65.2 million) in the new facility.
Before the Shanghai factory was built, all of Tesla's superchargers deployed in China were imported from the U.S. The chargers were first built at Tesla's Fremont, California factory where it builds all of the vehicles sold in the U.S. Tesla has since moved Supercharger production to its Gigafactory 2 in Buffalo, New York, where it also manufactures solar roof tiles for Tesla's solar business.
Tesla unveiled its next-generation, V3 Superchargers in March 2019. The company said the more powerful Superchargers can add 175 miles of range to a Model 3 sedan in about 15 minutes.
Tesla's V3 Superchargers can also charge more vehicles at the same time. The company said the V3 Superchargers will ultimately cut the amount of time customers spend charging their vehicles by an average of 50%, based on fleet data collected by Tesla.
The V3 Superchargers support a peak charge rate of up to 250kW, which is more than double the output of the Tesla's bolder V2 Superchargers, which delivers a peak charging rate of 120kW.
Tesla said it completely redesigned the electrical architecture of the V3 Superchargers. Each unit is more powerful, providing 1 megawatt (MW) of power, which is the same as Tesla's commercial utility products. 1 MW is enough to power an entire building.
Tesla is also installing Superchargers in Germany, where it recently opened its first European factory. The company aims to attract customers in Germany worried about convenient access to EV charging.
The Berlin gigafactory will produce up to 500,000 vehicles a year once fully operational. The plant is currently producing the Model Y for the European market.
Despite growing competition from electric vehicle startups NIO Inc and XPeng Inc, sales of Tesla vehicles in China remains brisk. China is the world's biggest auto market and an important market for Tesla to maintain its profitability as the world's most valuable car company.
Tesla sold 65,814 China-made vehicles in March, 65,754 of which were delivered to customers locally, according to data released by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) on April 11, 2022
Leading Tesla's sales is the Model Y. The electric SUV was the best-selling of all SUVs in China in the month of March and the first quarter of the year.

The powerful function of the negative pressure fan must […]
The powerful function of the negative pressure fan must be clear to many people, but what is the working principle of the negative pressure fan? What are the ways of ventilation control? Let's take a look!
The working principle of the negative pressure fan:
Negative pressure is the process of convection of air in the workshop, but what is needed is a process of energy conversion. The negative pressure type horn fan is converted into kinetic energy by the electric energy. The wind can discharge the indoor air to the outside to reduce the indoor pressure. Under the action of the atmospheric pressure, the outdoor fresh air is filled in and produced from the opposite window and the door of the negative pressure type fan. Negative air convection.
Bad sources of work environment - sun exposure, mechanical heat source, plant structure, odor in the intensive production process of cheese, soot. The negative pressure horn fan can quickly discharge indoor air out of the room to create a fresh and natural working environment.
Negative pressure fan ventilation control method:
1, local exhaust ventilation
Where the pollutants are concentrated and diverged; the diverging state is characterized by a low aerodynamic state, or the pollutants are dust, aversion, etc., and need to be pumped at a flow rate of 8 meters per minute. The negative pressure fan is suitable for use in such ventilation control. Method. With this control method, a small negative pressure fan or an axial fan is required to quickly discharge it.
2, comprehensive dilution ventilation
Fully diluted ventilation requires several negative pressure fans or axial fans or circulating fans to continuously pump the outside clean air, continuously flushing the factory pollution, so that the air pollutants in the production process will volatilize and accumulate, so as not to reach dangerous ratio or safety level. Therefore, the control method of dilution ventilation is suitable for the occasion where the air pollutants in the factory are generally diverged rather than concentrated in several original points. It is also suitable for the occasion where the local divergence has escaped to the factory air. In fact, the effective ventilation control is to be localized. The combination of exhaust and full dilution of the two ventilation methods, not only have the advantages of both, but also economically more reasonable design, because in many workplaces, there may be both comprehensive pollution divergence and local pollution divergence, With joint control, the pollutants from the local exhaust gas have been removed from the starting point of the divergence, and the air volume required for ventilation is fully diluted, so that the negative pressure fan can be greatly reduced, and the equipment and manpower consumption It is a great interest.
