Gabon 1998
March 3, 2021 March 29, 2022 constructmaterialsAfrica
Gabon. In the presidential election in early December, as expected, the then-sitting president, 63-year-old Omar Bongo, was re-elected for another seven-year term with 66% of the vote. He was challenged by seven opposition candidates, five from the political opposition and two independents.
According to Countryaah, the capital of Gabon is Libreville. The election campaign was characterized by contradictions between the two leading political blocs, and President Bongo accused his opponents of planning violent actions if they lost the election. He therefore closed the country's borders during the elections. Opposition politicians, for their part, accused Bongo and the ruling party of the Parti Démocratique Gabonais (PDG) for planning widespread electoral fraud in order to secure Bongo's re-election.
Abbreviationfinder: What does GAB stand for in geography? Here, this 3 letter acronym refers to the country of Gabon.
GABON. – Presidential republic (independent since 17 August 1960), in which the head of state, elected by direct universal suffrage for seven years, is at the same time head of the government, flanked by a national assembly of 70 members. The territory (267,667 km 2) is divided into 9 regions, which in turn are divided into 31 districts, 6 urban municipalities and an autonomous district (Sette Cama-Gamba), directly under the Ministry of the Interior. A third-order division concerns rural communities. The residents are about 540,000 (1974), mostly of Bantu lineage, with a prevalence of the Fang (94,200), Eshira (78,300), Mbédé (63,100), mostly Christians (310,000 Catholics). The capital is Libreville (53,291 residents In 1967), but the most important industrial center (refinery, wood industry, food, etc.) is Port-Gentil (25,000). Lambaréné (4000 residents), The capital of Medio Ogooué, is known for the hospital founded by A. Schweitzer. The population is centered around urban centers, forestry yards, mines, while in the villages of the interior, following the exodus of the most valid elements, the number of women far exceeds that of men. There is therefore a lively contrast between the regions where the modern European economy prevails (which ensures 75% of production) and the rural sector with an archaic economy.
In Gabon emerge rocks of the ancient base (granite, gneiss), often covered by layers of sandstone, schist, limestone, while in the west, in the low and marshy areas, more recent soils (tertiary) prevail. The Gabon coincides broadly with the basin of the Ogooué river (220,000 km 2) which after Lambaréné divides into several branches and forms a delta that advances into the ocean. The land rises to 1575 m in the Chaillu massif (M. Iboundi); less high is the Mayombe chain to the south-west and the Crystal Mountains to the north-west.
Just the fortieth part of the soil is cultivated with a prevalence of plants that are used to feed the indigenous people (millet, sorghum, cassava), while industrial crops are of limited importance. Breeding and fishing are also of little importance, practiced by the Japanese (especially shrimp) rather than by the natives. Meadows and pastures are not very extensive (19%), while woods prevail (75%), which extend over more than 20 million ha (including wooded savannahs), favored by heavy rainfall (Libreville receives 2700 mm of rain year, with always very high values, except between June and October) and high temperatures (average of 26 ° 6, with monthly excursions below 3 ° C). The timber therefore assumes a fundamental importance in the life of the country, but it is a predominantly destructive economy and exports involve rough timber rather than plywood or veneer. It is hard, precious wood, mainly okoumé (over one million m3 exported in 1974), but limba is also gaining in importance. The trade is managed by a special Office des Bois which has established that European companies that exploit the forest must operate in inland areas, while the coastal ones (more profitable) are reserved for Gabonese companies.
For some years now, Gabon has assumed considerable importance for the resources of the subsoil and in the first place oil (1959: 753,000 t; 1975: 11.3 million), which now exceeds the value of timber in exports; the first wells, opened at Capo Lopez, were joined by those of Anguillé, Gamba, Ivinga. And natural gas is often associated with oil. A refinery has sprung up (October 1967) in PortGentil, due to five states that have formed an economic union (UDEAC). Since 1962, manganese has also begun to be exported (976,000 t in 1973) which is of a very high content (50-52%) and is located around Moanda: a long cableway (76 km) transports it to M'Binda, where a railway section (290 km) connects to the Brazzaville-Pointe Noire line (port of embarkation). In Mounana, uranium oxide began to be extracted (from 1961) (1400 t in 1973), while gold production is in decline. There is an important deposit of iron (hematite) with a high content (over 60%) in the Makokou-Mékambo area, but evacuation is difficult and export is only expected in 1980; less rich, but closer to the coast (70 km) is the Tchibanga deposit, which uses the port of Nyanga for the shipment of the ore. A hydroelectric power station was created through the Kinguélé dam on the Mbéi. Communications always leave something to be desired. In December 1973 the construction of the Trans-Gabonese railway was started (with the Owendo-Booué section), which starts from a new port, under construction near Libreville, and is to connect the capital to the north-east and south-east regions. The Ayem-Lastourville road has also been opened, which completes the Libreville-Franceville artery and thus makes it easier to reach the Mounana-Moanda mines. In the western regions, much of the transport uses river arms, canals and lagoons. The trade balance (given the export of timber, oil and minerals) is active and for a good half of the buyers are the countries of the European Economic Community.

councils of war never fight
Those who are supposed to make important decisions often struggle to do so. I'm not surprised that the board still hasn't approved this change, even with all of their recent meetings—councils of war never fight, after all.

Councils of war never fight.
Prov. A group of people charged with crucial decisions often cannot act decisively. We tried to convince the boss not to form a committee, but to decide himself. We knew that councils of war never fight.
In conjunction with an executive council, he appoints the members of the judiciary department, and forms a court of impeachment for trial of all officers, judiciary as well as executive.
Throughout the States, it appears that the members of the legislature may at the same time be justices of the peace; in this State, the members of one branch of it are EX-OFFICIO justices of the peace; as are also the members of the executive council. The principal officers of the executive department are appointed by the legislative; and one branch of the latter forms a court of impeachments.
Her constitution declares, "that the legislative, executive, and judiciary departments shall be separate and distinct; so that neither exercise the powers properly belonging to the other; nor shall any person exercise the powers of more than one of them at the same time, except that the justices of county courts shall be eligible to either House of Assembly." Yet we find not only this express exception, with respect to the members of the irferior courts, but that the chief magistrate, with his executive council, are appointable by the legislature; that two members of the latter are triennially displaced at the pleasure of the legislature; and that all the principal offices, both executive and judiciary, are filled by the same department.
This honest expedient immediately removed the main difficulty; but the chief deferred all trading for a day or two; until he should have time to consult with his subordinate chiefs as to market rates; for the principal chief of a village, in conjunction with his council, usually fixes the prices at which articles shall be bought and sold, and to them the village must conform.
Lisa in the council had produced a pacific effect in the encampment.
Because of the things he had done, they looked for him to appear again in the council, but he never came, and they were ashamed to ask.
But in the council one night, after long deliberation, it was determined to put spies on his track when he went forth to hunt, so that his methods might be learned.
And in the afternoon of that day the women hauled in the meat of the bear while the men sat in council assembled.
He was a good chief at first, and worked hard, so that the council had less and less to do.
"More and more Dog-Tooth became greater than the council, and when the council grumbled and said it would name a new chief, Big-Fat spoke with the voice of God and said no.
But how far this effect proceeded from the authority of the federal council is left in uncertainty.
"They tell me," Shere Khan would say, "that at Council ye dare not look him between the eyes." And the young wolves would growl and bristle.
Many of the wolves that looked thee over when thou wast brought to the Council first are old too, and the young wolves believe, as Shere Khan has taught them, that a man-cub has no place with the Pack.
"In three days your friend the secretary will be directed to come to your house, and read before you the articles of impeachment; and then to signify the great lenity and favour of his majesty and council, whereby you are only condemned to the loss of your eyes, which his majesty does not question you will gratefully and humbly submit to; and twenty of his majesty's surgeons will attend, in order to see the operation well performed, by discharging very sharp-pointed arrows into the balls of your eyes, as you lie on the ground.
It was a custom introduced by this prince and his ministry (very different, as I have been assured, from the practice of former times,) that after the court had decreed any cruel execution, either to gratify the monarch's resentment, or the malice of a favourite, the emperor always made a speech to his whole council, expressing his great lenity and tenderness, as qualities known and confessed by all the world.

Hard-charging Australian goofyfooter from Newcastle, New South Wales, described by two-time Pipeline Masters winner Rory Russell in 1977 as the "most underrated surfer in the world." At the end of that year, Smith, a world tour rookie, won the Pro Class Trials held at Sunset Beach, then finished seventh in the Pipeline Masters. He was labeled the "new" Col Smith, to distinguish him from Sydney's Col Smith—another Australian goofyfoot and the winner of the 1977 Australian National Titles.

Q: Help with refreshed ASP.NET page clearing public array Hey all, i am new at everything VB.net/ASP.net so i need some help with a problem i am currently having.
I have an ASCX.vb page that lets the user choose someone from a table. Once they do select someone, the page reloads with that persons information into another table below that one where they can submit an order for that person or remove that person.
Problem being is that i wanted to store the users ID that are selected but it seems that everytime the page reloads to show an update, it dim's my array again back to default.
This is my code once they choose a user:
Namespace prog.Controls
  Partial Public Class progReportGrid
  etc....

  Public strIDArray() As String = {"0000770000"} 'Just a dummy place holder

Private Sub gvData_RowCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewCommandEventArgs) Handles gvData.RowCommand

  Dim idIndexNumber As Integer = Array.IndexOf(strIDArray, strID)

  For i As Integer = 0 To strIDArray.Length - 1
      System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(strIDArray(i))
  Next

  If idIndexNumber = -1 Then
      ReDim Preserve strIDArray(strIDArray.Length)
      strIDArray(strIDArray.Length) = strID
      RaiseEvent EmployeeSelected(Me, New ESEventArgs(strID))
  End If
End Sub

So everytime to page reloads the Public strIDArray() As String = {"0000770000"} gets called again and, of course, clears anything that was saved to it other than 0000770000.
How can i keep it from doing this?
UPDATE
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
             'do what?
        End If
End Sub

A: Perhaps you have a misunderstanding with the stateless model of a web application. Anything that is not stored in the ViewState or Session or a shared application variable will NOT persist through postbacks.
This means that when you declare your
Public strIDArray() As String
as a standard variable, it will be re initialized every time the page posts back.
For example, here's a simple flow of how this works:

*

*The user opens their browser and opens up your aspx web page.

*The request goes to your server, and all the controls including progReportGrid are instantiated as new instances and added to the page. (this is where your variable gets set to its original value every time)

*A bunch of events are fired, including the Me.Load event

*Controls that were added to the page are asked to generate their HTML

*The HTML gathered from all the controls on the page is sent back to the user

So because your controls are all re-instantiated every post back, class variables like strIDArray are pretty much thrown out after the page is sent to the user.
Instead, if you want the page to remember what value the array had last postback and add more to it next postback, you have to use either ViewState, or Session.
For example:
Private Property StrIDArray() As String()
  Get
    If ViewState("StrIDArray") Is Nothing
       ViewState("StrIDArray") = New String() {"0000770000"}
    Return ViewState("StrIDArray")
  End Get
  Set(ByVal value As String())
     ViewState("StrIDArray") = value
  End Set
End Property

Now if you used this property instead of your variable, you could manipulate that array and as long as the user is on that page, the value of that array will persist across postbacks.

A: Use the Page.IsPostBack property in your Page_Load method.
This property is false for the first time the page loads and false for every postback afterwards.
If you set your default value  strIDArray() = {"0000770000"} within If (Page.IsPostBack <> true) then it will not get reset on the postback.
EDIT : My VB syntax is VERY shaky but let me try it out
Partial Public Class EARNReportGrid

Begin

Public strIDArray() As String // DO NOT INITIALIZE it here. ONLY DECLARE IT
.....

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
             //INITIALIZE the ARRAY
             strIDArray = New String(){"00007700000"}
        End If
End Sub
......
End

We're a family of four living in Tucson, Arizona. David is an architect and grew up loving the outdoors, was a boy scout and was really into 4-wheeling in his Jeep (before kids happened). Beth is a freelance graphic designer and spent a lot of time playing outside as a kid, but not really camping or even enjoying being dirty much. She's come a long way. Owen is 3 years old and has a lot of adventure under his belt for his age. He's a professional outdoorsman and we're so glad he will grow up in the dirt and pine needles. Ames, the newbie, is 1 and just mastering the art of walking on uneven surfaces but he's getting there.
The Dutch Oven is what we call our camper. Obviously, there are many layers of meaning to this, but mostly because David is Dutch. We bought it brand new in December of 2014.

Tynan Brayden, the Earl of Westcliff, never expects his carefree life to be turned upside down when he rescues Lady Abigail Croft outside the Wicked Earls' Club late one evening. She isn't at all the sort of woman he is looking for right now, sweet, innocent, and yet when she rebuffs his assistance, he finds himself eager to see more of her. To his great irritation, he finds that she manages to bring out the good in him... and he has no desire to be good, especially not with her.
Lady Abigail Croft is at the end of her rope, trying to save her foolish brother. The Earl of Westcliff's offer to help only complicates matters, for he is big as a gladiator and handsome as sin, and far too distracting. Her life is already in upheaval and she can't risk falling in love with Westcliff when she knows he will only crush her aching and vulnerable heart. Or will he?
Look for this Wicked Earl to release in time for Christmas 2019.


As a dutiful blogger, I should be giving you the names of all these gardens: needless to say, there were a dozen, maybe two dozen gardens: a cottagy one, some with trim hedges, the one brimming with Rhodies, Japanesey ones and naturalistic ones...the usual gamut. None quite to the standards of the astonishing abandoned nursery at last year's Seattle Show.
There has to be one in every group...the wierdo in the San Francisco show was this illuminated tornado. Not exactly what I would put in my back yard.
Many of the gardens at these shows are relatively simple--understandably so since making a tangled wild garden is a challenge to create and maintain in a huge convention center setting in penumbra for a week. After a long, cold, Colorado winter, even these simplescapes are a relief!
But like most attendees to these events, we come for the competitive divisions, the displays of various kinds and above all to buy stuff!
Here is one of the hundreds of entries in the vast plant competition rooms: a rather unconventional pot for a plant, but I thought rather charming. Botanical dreadlocks!
A feature of this show I particularly liked was a room filled with benches with non-competitive exhibits by people and nurseries highlighting new plants or novelties.
This selection of Helichrysum "amoginum" looked suspiciously like the plant I grew as Helichrysum virgineum in the long distant past (now apparently H. sibthorpii). It reminded me how much I liked this plant which I grew for years and want to get back again...time to hit the search engines!
This purple leaved primrose from Skagit Gardens caught my eye..
But the trade show is always where we end up spending the most time! Robin Parer's wonderful Geraniaceae was a favorite stop. I had a devil of a time finding a minute to talk to her, the line of buyers was so long!
Here's a better view of her booth: I noticed that many of the non-nursery booths were the same high end garden companies that I saw recently at the Pacific Northwest show, and several mentioned they had just come from Philadelphia...there is a definite circle of shows they visit. Pity Denver is not on that list!
Here is George Hull with a few of his students from ASU in Tempe who created a lovely garden of raised beds. I met George years ago when he was developing new product lines for Mountain States Nursery. It is fun to run into old and new friends at these events and find out what people have been up to in the last few years!

Un ferry, ferry-boat (de l'anglais ferry), transbordeur, traversier (au Canada francophone et à Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon) est un bateau ayant pour fonction principale de transporter des véhicules routiers ou ferroviaires avec leur chargement et leurs passagers dans des traversées maritimes.

Terminologie
Selon le site de l'Office québécois de la langue française, les termes « navire transbordeur » et « transbordeur », surtout employés en Europe, font l'objet d'une recommandation officielle de la part de la Commission générale de terminologie et de néologie, en France, car ils ressemblent au terme « bac » utilisé pour les bateaux effectuant des traversées de rivières. Les emprunts « ferry-boat » et « ferry » sont généralisés en Europe mais ne sont pas retenus au Québec car ils y sont totalement inutilisés, « traversier » étant le terme courant en usage depuis la fin du .

Le terme français « ferry-boat » s'écrit toujours avec un trait d'union, alors que son équivalent anglais s'écrit en un mot (ferryboat). Au pluriel, l'usage admet la forme anglaise « ferries » mais recommande « ferrys ».

Types

 Bateaux rapides
 Aéroglisseurs
 Catamarans
 Navires
 Ro-pax

Caractéristiques techniques

Un ferry comporte généralement des ponts passagers et des cales réservées aux véhicules qui embarquent et débarquent au moyen d'une rampe articulée pivotante. Différents types de bateaux sont utilisés, le choix étant généralement déterminé par les critères suivants :
 longueur du parcours ;
 nombre de passagers ou de véhicules ;
 vitesse attendue (présence de moyens de transport concurrents tel l'avion ou le train) ;
 conditions météo habituelles ;
 conditions marines (amplitude des marées, courants, tempêtes).

Les ferrys partagent toutefois quelques caractéristiques imposées par la nature de leur activité :
 ils doivent être rapides pour répondre aux attentes de la clientèle pressée ;
 ils doivent être manœuvrants pour pouvoir se passer de toute assistance au remorquage dans les ports même lorsqu'il atteint des tailles importantes, qui représentent des coûts et des délais supplémentaires. Des propulseurs transversaux sont installés à cet effet. Afin de participer à ces recherches de gain de temps, les terminaux ferry installent des systèmes d'amarrage par ventouses ;
 ils sont généralement volumineux car passagers et véhicules requièrent de grands volumes si on les compare à un fret classique ;
 pour minimiser le temps de chargement des automobiles et des camions dans les ports, de vastes portes-rampes sont aménagées dans la coque, à l'arrière et à l'avant. Elles peuvent en cas de défaillance constituer une source de voie d'eau catastrophique. À la proue, qui est la plus exposée aux coups de mer par mauvais temps, le système d'étrave basculante « en visière de casque », présent sur les ferrys de la génération 1965 - 1995 tels l'Estonia ou le Salem-Express de la SNCM, tend à être abandonné en faveur de portes articulées latéralement qui risquent moins d'être forcées par une grosse lame déferlante ;
 certains ferrys destinés à des trajets courts dans des eaux resserrées et relativement abritées, notamment ceux embarquant des trains ferroviaires, sont amphidromes (la poupe est symétrique de la proue et le navire peut naviguer indifféremment dans les deux sens) pour accélérer les rotations et les manœuvres d'embarquement/débarquement C'est le cas, par exemple des traversiers de la Gironde sur le trajet Royan - Pointe de Grave (port du Verdon).

Conception, innovations

La conception des ferrys sur plusieurs étages ainsi que l'existence d'un pont garage peu cloisonné concourent à rendre les ferrys dangereux et le nombre d'accidents est relativement important. D'autre part, les carburants pétroliers pas ou peu désoufrés sont source d'émissions polluantes significatives ; deux points que certaines compagnies cherchent à mieux prendre en compte.

Après les naufrages, entre autres, du Herald of Free Enterprise et de l'Estonia, de nouvelles règles de sécurité plus sévères ont été promulguées afin d'améliorer leur stabilité après avarie.

Un premier grand ferry (M/S Viking Grace) fonctionnant au gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) est en service depuis peu en Europe du Nord pour la compagnie Viking Line. Son moteur devrait permettre une vitesse de , avec un abattement de 85 % des émissions de particules, de 15 % des émissions de gaz à effet de serre et de près de 100 % du soufre, en partie grâce à un profil de coque amélioré pour le type de houle locale et à des systèmes de récupération de l'énergie. D'un coût de 240 millions d'euros, il relie les ports de Turku et de Mariehamn à celui de Stockholm dès janvier 2013.

Un premier ferry à propulsion électrique, de  de long, à coque d'aluminium et capable de transporter 120 voitures et 360 passagers par voyage, est prévu en Europe pour relier en 30 minutes, de 2015 à 2025, Lavik et Oppdal via les eaux du Sognefjord (au nord de Bergen) pour le compte de la compagnie de transport Norled. L'économie annuelle en matière de pollution devrait être d'un million de litres de gazole, de  métriques de Dioxyde de carbone et de  d'oxydes d'azote. Les  de batteries sont rechargeables en dix minutes (temps de pose actuel entre deux trajets) selon le concepteur. Le réseau électrique terrestre n'étant pas en mesure de fournir l'électricité suffisante, une batterie d'accumulateurs est installée dans chaque port pour son alimentation.

Un constructeur japonais évoque aussi un ferry électrique de  () destiné à véhiculer 800 passagers. Ce navire serait 60 % plus cher à l'achat. Il pourrait faire  () en six à huit heures grâce à des piles rechargeables de haute performance qu'on espère disponibles vers 2015 (, l'équivalent de 300 voitures)<ref>AFP, « Japanese firm plans zero-emission ferry », sur Phys.org, 15 octobre 2009.</ref>.

Dans un avenir proche, des piles à hydrogène pourraient éventuellement être utilisées comme stockage d'énergie embarqué. Un tel ferry « zéro émission » (hors production de l'hydrogène consommé) a été proposé par Future Ship en 2012 en réponse à une sollicitation de manifestation d'intérêt pour des ferrys à pile à combustible, atteignant 17 nœuds avec une pile alimentée par un réservoir d'hydrogène de  lui assurant une autonomie énergétique de . Ce ferry pourrait être prêt vers 2017 en mer Baltique. Des batteries d'appoint pourraient lui faire gagner un nœud de plus.

Des ferrys électriques de plus en plus puissants sont mis en service dans les pays nordiques : après le ferry Elektra du finlandais FinnFerries () et lAmpere du norvégien Norled (), le ferry Ellen () a été lancé en août 2019 au Danemark, avec des subventions européennes, entre Ærø, une petite île du sud du pays, et le continent. Long de , lEllen peut transporter  et . Au total, l'Union européenne compte lancer une dizaine d'e-ferrys dans les deux ans à venir, et plus d'une centaine d'ici à 2030.

The Auto Current F detects current, and closes a switch when the sensed current flows, to provide a remote indication. Designed for applications where a remote indicator must be illuminated when one or more lights or other loads are energized. By detecting load current, any number of lamps, or any other loads, will cause the indicator to light. The indicator circuit may be completely isolated from the circuit being sensed, or may be operated from the same battery. A timer is incorporated with a load relay to flash the indicator lamp at 1 second intervals to provide a more "attention getting" display. All units are available as -G for operating indicator by grounding.

La place du GRESEC dans le paysage de la recherche française en communication
► Many of the universities and research institutions are centred in the capital area, as is usual in many other countries. But there are quite a few important research units in other parts of France as well.
The leading institution in the field of information and communication, the laboratory of GRESEC, is located in the city of Grenoble, which is situated in the Alps region [...].
► Outside the capital of France, the most well-known research institution is situated in Grenoble: the laboratory of GRESEC (Groupe de recherche sur les enjeux de la communication). The laboratory is part of the Institut de la Communication et des Médias (l'Unité de Formation et de Recherche (UFR) des Sciences de la communication) within the Université Stendhal, Grenoble3. The institute was officially founded in 1975, when Infocom was established as a discipline by the CNU. The most famous professor of GRESEC is Bernard Miège, who is among the most cited of Infocom scholars in France and who is also known abroad in the field of cultural industries and the Habermasian theory of public sphere. The Grenoble school has a central position in researching the field of cultural industries in France, and much of its influence comes from German and American studies. The research corresponds to Anglo-Saxon idea of developing the ideas of the Frankfurt school. Miège has served as the director of the Grenoble research group for many years, but recently retired. Today the laboratory is directed by Professor Isabelle Pailliart.
► The laboratory has about 30 teacher-researchers (5 professors, 25 maîtres de conference), 60 professional teachers (intervenants), 600 students and doctoral students (60). The main orientation of GRESEC follows the emergence, development, and social implications of modern communication media. This orientation also takes into account the changes in the social and cultural mediations that are increasingly commercial and industrial, interactivity, multi-modality, and the signification of devices offered to user-consumers. The laboratory is organised around four main focus areas:
Industrialisation of information and culture (ICI). The evolution of information and culture from various aspects (cultural, socio-political, social, and economic), the social logic directing the social actors. The progressive emergence of the networks of communication accelerated by the movement of industrialisation and branding;
Changes in the public space: communication, territories, and organisations (MEP). Public space, techniques of politics of communication. The field work is varied, ranging from local media to political communication of territorial collectivities to scientific communication and corporate communication;
Multimedia and interactive writings : production and uses. (EMIPU). Digital technology of information and communication (TICN), especially the domain of learning;
Information and communication (CRISTAL). Automatic processing of language, essentially French, linguistic approach. (http://w3.u-grenoble3.fr/gresec/)" [...]
► The questions of globalisation and cultural identity are also important topics for research, which are often studied within an orientation focused on cultural industries or cultural communication. The critical approach has a steady position in French intellectual thinking, and theories of the political economy of communication and theories of public sphere and democracy are popular. The media and communication system is studied as part of the cultural industry or public space, thus not necessarily as an independent research object. Important institutions in this area are the GRESEC in Grenoble 3 and the co-operation project of Paris 13 Nord, Paris 8, and Maison des Sciences de l'Homme Paris Nord.

Reducing waste and fighting hunger is 'a win-win'
New Canaan: Reducing waste and fighting hunger is 'a win-win.' These baked goods at Walter Stewart's Market on Sept. 1 were about to be picked up by Food Rescue. — Sarah Klearman photo
New Canaan: There was a time three or four years ago when, come the end of the day, Walter Stewart's Market would throw "garbage barrels" of unsold, edible food products into the trash. Some of it was bread or prepackaged meals – and this was despite best attempts to buy and sell products at a rate that would minimize waste, according to Alex Stewart, the store's general manager. And then a regular customer told him about Food Rescue US.
Stewart reached out to Food Rescue, a volunteer-powered non-profit that sends volunteers to pick up unsold food products from donors and then drop them off at nearby organizations whose need matches the donated products. It took some time to work out logistics, like establishing a regular route that included the store, but as Food Rescue has grown and become more organized, Stewart said, Walter Stewart's has "a regularly scheduled pick up" from Food Rescue that has led to the creation of "significantly less" food waste.
Food Rescue, originally called Community Plates, now works to combat food insecurity in 17 different communities nationwide, and was started in Norwalk in 2011. They work with three businesses in New Canaan — Walter Stewart's, Le Pain Quotidien, Upper Crust Bakery and Cafe, — as well as the Grace Farms Foundation, and 80 businesses in Fairfield County, according to Nicole Straight, the site director for Fairfield County. Donated food is directly transported to local organizations like Person-to-Person, Kids in Crisis or Boys and Girls Clubs.
Hunger here
Though New Canaan is undeniably an affluent community — the median household income was just over $176,000 in 2016, according to the Census Bureau — that does not mean it is one completely shielded from hunger. In July 2018, there were 118 households (196 individuals) in New Canaan participating in SNAP, or receiving federal food assistance, according to U.S. government data. Over the last nine months, from October 2017 to July 2018, an average of 37 families (defined as households of two or more individuals) plus another 137 individuals have utilized New Canaan's Food Pantry per month, according to the New Canaan Department of Human Services.
"The whole face of hunger for this generation has changed," Straight said, adding that Food Rescue also brings donated food to unconventional recipients, like Norwalk Community College. Food insecure individuals can be "college kids that have money for their education but not for a food plan" or senior citizens who do not have the budget to buy fresh produce.
Fear of liability
Straight, who worked as a chef before becoming the site director for Fairfield County, says her biggest "stumbling block" when it comes to establishing partnerships with local businesses has been "education." Business owners often struggle with "a deep seated fear of liability," she said, noting that, in actuality, there has been federal legislation in place for over 20 years that protects businesses that donate leftover food.
That legislation is the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act, signed by former President Bill Clinton in 1996. The act's stated purpose is "to encourage the donation of food and grocery products to nonprofit organizations for distribution to needy individuals."
"Once the food is out of your hands, you're not liable for it," Straight said of the act, adding that despite these legal assurances, she regularly encounters business owners who will not donate their products because of liability concerns.
The food waste dilemma is a national one. Over 30 million tons of food went to landfills in 2015, according to an estimate by the EPA, and figures have risen consistently and considerably since the EPA began collecting data in the 1960s. It can be especially difficult for restaurant owners, many of whom work long hours and rarely have time off, to find time or even the motivation at the end of a long day to coordinate an effort to donate leftover food, especially perishables.
"I worked as a chef, and I get it – you're tired (at the end of the day)," Straight said. "But it's about doing good. People don't realize that need exists in places like New Canaan and Darien."
Local views
As businesses are asked to become increasingly socially conscious — oftentimes by their customer base — awareness of food waste has also risen. Le Pain Quotidien's New Canaan location recently began donating their leftover pastries and breads to Food Rescue after learning about the organization and the legal logistics from Planet New Canaan, a local environmental advocacy group.
A spokesperson from Le Pain Quotidien said this month that the restaurant was "in the process of changing several of our supply chain and waste procedures on a national level," and could not comment until those changes were complete. There is currently no company-wide policy for dealing with food waste.
Green and Tonic is another local business with no company-wide policy for dealing with leftover food products. In an attempt to reduce waste, the company is moving towards food that is made to order instead of prepackaged, according to Emily Watson, the company's marketing and communications director.
"There is certainly some waste. We try and control it from the supply level," Watson said. She added that Green and Tonic had previously attempted to work with a third party organization to donate leftover food, but they had returned to dealing with the matter in-house after inconsistencies in availability and pickups. The company trusts managers to deal with leftover food, she said, whether that means delegating it to employees, regular customers or ultimately throwing it away.
Stewart said that Walter Stewart's has become "more and more" aware of the waste they create.
"We're trying to minimize any waste," he said. "Those are resources that could be going to better use, and it impacts our bottom line, too. Working with Food Rescue – it's a win-win."
'Take those five minutes'
Straight emphasized that she encourages businesses owners to "take those five minutes" at the end of the work day to prepare food to be picked up by Food Rescue volunteers, so it can be transported and donated. Business owners often save money on garbage services because of their reduced waste, and donations are tax-deductible, she said.
"There is need around here," Straight said, adding that donations can meaningfully impact recipients' lives. "Change doesn't have to be global. And it feels good to do good. It's a win-win."

Suzuki Burgman unveiled
Suzuki GSX-R1000R and Hayabusa prices dropped
29 Mar, 2018 in Suzuki
Two of Suzuki's most powerful bikes, the GSX-R1000R and the Hayabusa, have just received a major price change. As a result, the Suzuki GSX-R1000R, which was earlier priced at Rs 22 lakh, will now be available for Rs 19.8 lakh. The Hayabusa, on the other hand, gets a minor price decrease from Rs 13.87 lakh to Rs 13.59 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom Delhi). The price drop is a result of the 25 per cent drop in custom duties for CBU (completely built units) imports. The prices of other big bikes from Suzuki's stable are yet to be announced. However, they too are expected to receive a handsome drop in prices. These bikes include the GSX-S1000F, GSX-S1000, GSX-R1000 and the V-Strom 1000.
Now, some of you may know that the import duty on CKD products was raised from 10 per cent to 15 per cent in the 2018 Union budget. So how has Suzuki managed to price the Hayabusa, which is now assembled in India, lower than before? Well, the climb in import duty for CKD kits only applies to those bikes wherein even the engine and gearbox are imported as separated units. Along with the tax reduction on CBU products, the government also announced that motorcycle kits with pre-assembled engine and gearboxes will benefit from the revised taxation. So, the initial surcharge of 30 per cent has now gone down to 25 %. Hence, the price reduction for the Suzuki Hayabusa.
The Suzuki GSX-R1000 and the GSX-R1000R were launched in May 2017 at Rs 19 lakh and Rs 22 lakh, respectively (both prices, ex-showroom Delhi). Over the standard GSX-R1000, which makes 204PS and 117.6Nm of torque, the top-spec GSX-R1000R comes fitted with lean angle-sensitive ABS, bi-directional quick shifter, launch control, LED position lights, lightweight upper yoke and a lightweight battery. The new revision only sweetens the deal as you now get all the goodies for a figure that's closer to the earlier pricing of the standard Suzuki GSX-R1000.
A few months back, Suzuki also launched the 2018 Hayabusa in India with nothing but three new paint schemes on offer. Apart from this, the motorcycle remains the same underneath. The 1340cc, in-line 4-cylinder, the liquid-cooled engine produces 202.5PS of peak power and 155Nm of peak torque and comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The only real competition that the Hayabusa has is the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R, the revised prices for which are yet to be shared by Kawasaki. Otherwise, the current pricing of the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R is Rs 19.7 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Santa could have visited Wall Street over the past week, however that doesn't assure a bull market in 2019.
was some 1,500 factors larger than the place it closed on Christmas Eve.
In any case, there is no proof good Santa Claus Rally results in a stronger inventory market within the subsequent 12 months. Believe it or not, in truth, the inventory market on common has carried out higher following end-of-year durations during which Santa Claus didn't go to Wall Street.
Consider what I discovered upon analyzing the Dow again to 1896, when this benchmark was created. I used to be wanting for any correlation between the market's course between Christmas and New Year's Day and its course over the next one, three six or 12 months. What I discovered is summarized within the accompanying chart. Across all 4 time durations, the Dow on common did higher when Santa didn't go to Wall Street.
To be certain, the variations plotted within the accompanying chart should not important on the 95% confidence degree that statisticians typically use to find out whether or not a sample is real. So you shouldn't now be betting on a declining inventory market in 2019 simply because the Santa Claus Rally interval was so optimistic.
The extra acceptable conclusion to attract is that you just shouldn't consider that any given week within the stock-market calendar has particular forecasting significance, even one which is in any other case so endowed with that means because the final week of the calendar.

The theme of "Kindreds" was the theme of IDUNNA #114 (Winter 2017-2018). We led off with thoughts on Heathen kindreds by Diana Paxson, Kim Pierri, and Paden Hunt. Maire Durkan contributes a study of Gudrun Gjukadottir, the tragic heroine of the Volsung legend, and Laura Fuller presents her study of the goddess Skadhi, "From Ring-Lady to Bride." Diana Paxson and Ann Sheffield contribute poems. And there's all our usual columns, book and movie reviews, and more!


Fragment from the shaft of a sandstone cross, known as the Easby Cross. A rectangular fragment from the middle of the shaft which tapers slightly towards the top. On the front face, five apostles with deep dished halos, three of which are set within an arch, the two others in a register above. Two eroded beasts can be made out to either side of the arch. The whole front face is surrounded by a rope-work border. The back face is adorned with vine-scroll inhabited by a bird pecking at a berry bunch and an equine beast below it. The vine is contained by rope-work to either side but continued both upwards and downwards to fill the full face of the cross when it was complete. The narrow sides of the fragment show alternate panels of interlace and vine-scroll.
Unusually for a monument of its size, the stone from which the fragment is carved, is not local to Easby. the medium grained deltaic sandstone matches stone traditionally produced in the Aislaby quarries of Eskdale near Whitby.
This fragment was formerly built in to the fabric of Easby parish church. It was located over the narrow arch at the east end of the south aisle arcade, with a narrow face visible on the south side towards the chapel. The internal walls from which the fragment was extracted are of late twelfth century date.
Before this fragment was built into the church, molten lead was run in through a hole situated just beneath the equine beast on the back face. Symmeon of Durham recorded the practice of running lead into a stone cross in order to mend a break.The cross had been broken and mended some time betwen its creation about AD.800 and the use of the fragment as a building block in the late twelfth century.
The upper part of the cross shaft was purchased from a private collection in 1930 and this fragment, along with two others, was subsequently purchased for the museum by the National Art-Collections Fund. After removal to the museum the fragment was cleaned of a thick mortar and reassembled in a coherent order.
Historical significance: The importance of The Cross in Anglo-Saxon christianity is reflected in the erection of monumental stone crosses and the production of smaller altar and reliquary crosses. Two poems from the period: Caedmon's Dream of the Rood and Cynewulf's Elene provide further evidence of the key role of The Cross in Anglo-Saxon christian faith. The Dream of the Rood contained in part on the early 8th century Ruthwell Cross and in full in the10th century Vercelli Book, relates the crucifixion of Christ in the words of the cross. Elene, a 1321 line poem, is the earliest and most elaborate English account of the finding of the True Cross by Constantine's mother - Saint Helena.
The tradition of monumental crosses in the north in this period also reflects the early political superiority of the Northern kingdom during the Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy; the universal abundance of stone and the flourishing Christianity of the kingdom.
The other European connection was between York and Rome itself. The classicism of late antique and early ninth-century Rome informed the region's major monuments in motif and technique. Metropolitan status required frequent visits to Rome for the conferral of the pallium (A woollen vestment conferred by the Pope on archbishops in the Latin Church, who are required to request it as a symbol of their participation in the authority of the Pope and of their right to exercise the power of a metropolitan), this may explain the taste for portraiture of the apostles which became apparent in the region.
Vine-scroll with or without animal inhabitants is one of the most common motifs to be found on monumental crosses. In association with the cross and images of the apostles, vine ornament provides a visual reference to John 15:1-11 in which Christ declares "I am the true vine" and through a vine analogy, establishes what he requires of a disciple. The nature of the Easby vine-scroll is exceptional amongst the preponderance of monumental stone sculpture available.
In seeking to record a sequential development in Anglo-Saxon sculpture using vine-scroll ornament, Professor J. Brönsted picked out the Easby cross as one of the earliest crosses. His assessment was based on a supposition that the ornament originated with foreign artists from the east, who had first-hand knowledge of the vine which gradually degenerated with subsequent generations of artists. Though Brönsted's analysis of vine-scroll development is no longer widely accepted, the eastern origin of the ornament is most probable, with examples to be found in the Dome of the Rock.
There is evidence to suggest that the scroll was transmitted indirectly from this eastern source to Yorkshire. Ernst Kitzinger suggested that the cross represents an important stylistic stage-post in the iconographic chronology of Anglo-saxon sculpture. Citing oriental origins for the vine-scroll of many Northern crosses, he distinguishes Easby as having a "peculiar, thin and elaborate style" and convincingly concludes that the cross has a definite place in Carolingian art. He identifies a Carolingian ivory held in the Vatican to which the pecking bird on fragment A.9-1931 appears to be closely related and though it is no slavish copy, this close continental parallel has played a key role in dating the cross to the early ninth century. Professor Lang in his recent Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Sculpture states that "For such a work to appear in Yorkshire in the age of Alcuin is no surprise".

Drivers sought to transport elderly Bridge of Earn patients to appointments following surgery closure
by Ross Gardiner
October 2 2019, 7.56am Updated: October 2 2019, 9.52am
The former Bridge of Earn medical practice.
A community group has called on residents in Bridge of Earn to help ease the strain on vulnerable residents who are struggling to get to medical appointments now the village's doctors surgery has closed.
The community has long been affected by limited public transport to PRI and Ninewells, meaning villagers who need to get to services at the Perth or Dundee hospitals have had to plan their day around bus timetables and onward connections.
The situation has been worsened by the recent loss of the Bridge of Earn GP service, which ceased operating at the beginning of last month after both doctors withdrew from the Main Street practice,
The move meant 3,000 registered patients were decanted to Perth, with a further 400 told to phone practices in Kinross if they need an appointment.
Now the Earn Community Council has raised concerns that elderly and vulnerable patients in the Bridge of Earn catchment area will find it difficult to access primary health care.
The group, which battled to save the local GP service, is now campaigning to set up a community transport scheme to help elderly residents make it to medical appointments outside the village, while plans for a more localised solution are sought.
Volunteer drivers would be required to transport patients to and from appointments, and members of the community councillors are asking anyone who thinks they can spare an hour or two to step forward.
Community Council secretary Janice Sloan said: "Following the recent closure of the GP surgery in Bridge of Earn this has brought to a head the issue of personalised and or group transport limitations.
"Although Bridge of Earn is well served by three bus routes, none pass the GP surgeries in Perth. There are also patients needing personal transport to Ninewells or PRI and residents in remoter places have very limited services."
She said the community council intended to form a management committee to make the arrangements for a coordinator to be appointed as the first steps towards forming a group of volunteer drivers to operate across the area.
Anyone who can donate some of their time is urged to email chairmanecc.gmail.com.

Previous research has shown that the majority of a student's school day, 70 percent, is completely sedentary and that sitting for long periods of time can increasea child's risk for certain health conditions.
To better understand this issue, a team of Canadian researchers completed a systematic review of existing literature on the relationship between sedentary behavior and health in school-aged children. Their findings were recently published in the International Journal of Behavioural Nutrition and Physical Activity.
During the study, the researchers evaluated 232 studies involving 983,840 participants between the ages of 5 and 17 and analyzed data pertaining to six broadly defined health indicators: body composition, fitness, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease, self-esteem, pro-social behavior and academic achievement.

Men Women & Money Full coverage
Men, women...and money
Think you know what your spouse wants when it comes to money? Better read this.
By Pat Regnier and Amanda Gengler
March 14, 2006: 10:07 AM EST
NEW YORK (MONEY Magazine) - When it comes to getting through to each other about money, spouses have some work to do.
That's the finding of MONEY Magazine's nationwide survey of 1,000 spouses -- 500 husbands and 500 wives -- conducted for MONEY by Mathew Greenwald & Associates.

The survey results show that men and women may not exactly be from different planets, but many still operate in distinct financial orbits. For all our supposed financial sophistication and equality, the vast majority of married couples still divide the family's financial labors along traditional lines, with women handling everyday spending and budgeting decisions while men plan and invest for long-term security.
Almost all of our respondents admitted that money is a cause of tension in their marriage. Seven in 10 actually owned up to arguing about it -- in fact, money causes more fights than sex or even in-laws. In the poll's most eye-opening findings, men and women had dramatically different ideas about who does what with the family finances, and what their partners care about.
Husbands were especially clueless, tending to underestimate how much women care about almost every financial issue, from investing and saving for retirement to paying off debt. A hundred years after Freud, and men still don't know what women want.
What spouses think their partners think about money is not what they really think
The gap between the financial issues that people care about most and what their spouses think they hold important may not be the Grand Canyon. But some couples will need an awfully big bridge to get across it.
For instance, our survey found that only 27% of men believe their wives think having the right investments is very important. Yet nearly half of women say they do care (approximately the same proportion as men).
Likewise, only 45% of men say that having cash stashed for emergencies is very important to their spouse vs. 67% of women who believe it's crucial.
Women come much closer in gauging what matters to men. If anything, they tend to give guys too much credit, believing their husbands care more about paying off debt and saving for big purchases than men actually do.
When asked about their family's income, both men and women say they earn more than their spouses believe they make, according to a study by Jay Zagorsky, a research scientist at Ohio State University. Overall, Zagorsky found, the typical husband says his household earns 5% more and is 10% wealthier than the wife says, while the wife reports that the family owes about $500 more than her husband says.
When women step-up...and when they don't
Working wives now contribute more than a third of the typical family's income; in a third of married households, they're the bigger breadwinner. As a woman's contribution to her family's income grows, so does her financial involvement, studies suggest.
In our survey, nearly four in 10 women in households where the wife is the primary earner say they take the lead in investing. That's twice as many as in families where wives earn less.
Numerous surveys support the notion that women don't feel as confident about their financial abilities as men do. For example, a survey by Merrill Lynch found that 47% of women (vs. 30% of men) feel they are not knowledgeable about investing. Women also say they are far less comfortable taking financial risks than men: Only 31% of the wives in our survey label themselves the couple's bigger risk-taker with money vs. 66% of men.
What's going on here? It's not that women are just risk-averse wimps. They face some serious financial challenges that men typically don't.
One's pretty obvious: They still tend to make less money than men (about 77� on the dollar). What's more, University of Washington economist Shelly Lundberg notes that women have to contend with other economic risks, like possibly having to care for their kids without a spouse's help. That's a bigger threat to women than to men since they typically live longer and fare worse financially in a divorce.
But women don't just yield the reins of financial power to their husbands; sometimes men reach out and grab them. Being a breadwinner -- even if you're not the only one -- is an important part of male identity.
Managing money to provide for your family's future feels like a natural extension of that role. But the male urge to display competence with money may run deeper than that. It may actually be a good way to get a mate. University of Texas psychologist David Buss has found that, across cultures worldwide, women value "good financial prospects" more highly in a potential partner than men do.
Despite all these differences, there is some good news: The problem appears to be one of perception, rather than a difference of opinion about goals.
In the end, our survey found, what husbands wanted and what wives wanted was pretty much the same; they just didn't realize it. Whatever they say in Hollywood, most great romances aren't a case of opposites attracting. In real life, we get married to people who share our goals: a family, a home, a secure future enjoying each other's company.
And those are the things any good money conversation should really be about.
