Марія Павлівна Романова (), (  —  ) — велика герцогиня-консорт Саксен-Веймар-Ейзенаху у 1828—1853 роках, уроджена велика княжна Російської імперії з дому Романових, донька імператора Російської імперії Павла I та вюртемберзької принцеси Софії Доротеї, дружина великого герцога Саксен-Веймар-Ейзенаху Карла Фрідріха, матір великого герцога Саксен-Веймар-Ейзенаху Карла Александра та німецької імператриці Августи.

Біографія

Ранні роки
Марія з'явилась на світ 4 (16) лютого 1786 року у Павловську під час правління своєї бабусі Катерини II. Була п'ятою дитиною та третьою донькою великого князя Російської імперії Павла Петровича та його другої дружини Софії Доротеї Вюртемберзької, яка після переходу в православ'я взяла ім'я Марія Федорівна. Новонароджена отримала ім'я на честь матері. Мала старших братів Олександра та Костянтина й сестер Олександру та Олену. Згодом родина поповнилася п'ятьма молодшими дітьми: Катериною, Ольгою, Анною, Миколою та Михайлом. Мешкало сімейство зазвичай у Гатчинському палаці, мали також Павловську дачу та палац на Кам'яному острові в дельті Неви в центрі Санкт-Петербургу.

У віці 3 років Марія, після зробленого щеплення, перенесла віспу у легкій формі, через що риси обличчя в неї дещо згрубіли. Відрізнялася хлопчачими звичками та була улюбленицею батька через прямоту, твердість та волю у поведінці. З нею він мав найбільш теплі відносини.

Вихованням Марії, як і її сестер, займалася баронеса Шарлотта Карлівна Лівен. Для викладання музики був запрошений придворний капельмейстер Джузеппе Сарті. Італієць відзначав великий музичний талант Марії. У 1798 році новим викладачем став Людвіг-Вільгельм Теппер де Фергюсон. Також дівчинка мала велику схильність до наук, багато читала та добре танцювала. Характер її змальовували як живий та веселий.

У листопаді 1796 року померла Катерина II. Батько Марії посів престол Російської імперії.

Дорослішаючи, велика княжна ставала все більш вродливою, продовжувала багато читати та добре малювала. Її прізвиськом у близькому колі стало «перл сім'ї».

У 1800 році виникли ідею шлюбу Марії зі спадкоємним принцом герцогств Саксен-Веймар та Саксен-Ейзенах Карлом Фрідріхом. Для переговорів з Веймару прибув барон фон Вольцоген. У Петербурзі він був вражений освітою та витонченістю дівчини. Наступного року Павло I загинув в результаті заколоту. Імператором став старший брат Марії, Олександр. Одруження сестри з німецьким принцом він також підтримав, і 22 липня 1803 року той прибув до Петербургу. Відразу Карлу Фрідріху був наданий чин генерал-лейтенанта російської армії та дарований орден Андрія Первозванного. Придворні змальовували його як юнака «приємної зовнішності, але надто простого розумом», відзначали його скромність, делікатність та доброту. В Росії принц прожив майже рік. Протягом цього часу наречені мали змогу краще познайомитися, вивчити характери, смаки та звички один одного. Їм вдалося налагодити товариські відносини, не зважаючи на різницю темпераментів. Тривале знайомство зіграло позитивну роль у їхньому майбутньому сімейному союзі. До того ж Марії Павлівні імпонувала думка, що в майбутньому вона правитиме Веймаром, який вважався культурним центром Німеччини. Згоду на шлюб вона дала з радістю.

Граф Ростопчин писав в той час, що Марія, хоча й була не такою вродливою, як її старша сестра Олена, але «настільки привабливою та доброю, що дивились на неї, як на янгола». Заручини відбулися 1 січня 1804 року. Церемонію провів митрополит Амвросій.

Шлюб та діти

У віці 18 років Марія Павлівна взяла шлюб із 21-річним спадкоємним принцом герцогств Саксен-Веймар та Саксен-Ейзенах Карлом Фрідріхом. Вінчання відбулося 23 липня 1804 року в Санкт-Петербурзі. Деталями весільного вбрання нареченої були маленька корона та малинова мантія на горностаєвому хутрі. Після церемонії молодят, які вийшли на балкон Зимового палацу показатися народові, радо вітав натовп. За цим йшли бенкет та бал, який Марія відкрила разом з імператором. Всі палаци міста, а також Петропавлівська фортеця, були ілюміновані. Наступного дня святкування продовжилося в Петергофі. Урочистості завершилися величезним маскарадом, на який були запрошені більше 5 тисяч чоловік. Певний час імператорська родина залишалась у Петергофі, де тривали маневри, а після цього молодята усамітнились в Павловську протягом медового місяця. У Веймарі бажали якомога швидше побачити нову принцесу. Йоганн-Фрідріх Шиллер писав фон Вольцогену: «Всі ми напружено чекаємо на прибуття нової зірки зі сходу».

У жовтні пара виїхала з Росії. Посаг Марії становив 1 мільйон рублів, з якого першу чверть вона отримала після вінчання, другу — за півроку, з другої половини вона щорічно отримувала 5 % ренти. Разом з тим, до Веймару вона привезла багато цінних предметів, серед яких були меблі, вази, гобелени, картини, статуї, посуд, а також свій гардероб та коштовності. Все це було відправлене з Росії у 80 скринях поперед молодят і прибуло до Веймару 2 жовтня, після восьмитижневої подорожі з Петербурга. Обоз був супроводжуваний російськими селянами і кріпосними в сорочках червоного льону, широких панталонах і чоботях, підбитих хутром. У ньому було 83 вози і понад 130 коней. Батьки нареченого виїхали зустрічати пару до Наумбурга. До столиці герцогства молодята прибули 9 листопада 1804 року. Місцеве населення радо вітало подружжя, свята на їхню честь тривали десять днів. 12 листопада на честь Марії в придворному театрі була дана вистава Шиллера «Привітання мистецтв».

Молода принцеса швидко здобула любов і повагу двору та простого люду. Вона близько потоваришувала із зовицею Кароліною, яка була її одноліткою, теплі стосунки пов'язували її і з бабусею чоловіка — Анною Амалією. Та писала в своїх листах:

По прибуттю пара розмістилася у Веймарському палаці, згодом оселилися у заміському палаці Бельведер. За шість років Марія Павлівна звеліла закласти навколо парк, який точно відповідав плануванню парка в Павловську. Відразу вона почала поповнювати свою освіту бесідами з видатними людьми і уроками професорів Єнського університету. Під керівництвом професора Керстнера серйозно займалася логікою, історією та філософією. Особливу увагу надавала вивченню німецької мови, якою по приїзді, за словами Шиллера, володіла насилу, хоча легко читала й все розуміла. З 1805 року відвідувала лекції, які Гете читав у себе вдома. Вони регулярно листувалися. Зінаїда Волконська відмічала: «Все там дихає наукою, поезією, роздумами і повагою до генія. Геній там панує, і навіть великі землі суть його царедворці.»

За кілька місяців по прибуттю Марія завагітніла. Втім, вагітність переносила легко. У травні 1805 року їздила з чоловіком до Лейпцигу, а літо провела у Павловську з матір'ю. У вересні 1805 року народила первістка, якого назвала на честь батька. Він, однак, прожив лише кілька місяців.

У 1806 році родина була змушена виїхати за кордон через вторгнення французьких військ. Кілька місяців Марія Павлівна провела у Шлезвігу. Після повернення знову завагітніла і у лютому 1808 року народила здорову дівчинку. Всього у подружжя було четверо дітей:
 Пауль Александр (1805—1806) — прожив 5 місяців;
 Марія (1808—1877) — дружина прусського принца Карла, мала трьох дітей;
 Августа (1811—1891) — дружина короля Пруссії та імператора Німеччини Вільгельма I, мала сина та доньку;
 Карл Александр (1818—1901) — наступний великий герцог Саксен-Веймар-Ейзенаху у 1853—1901 роках, був одруженим із нідерландською принцесою Софією, мав четверо дітей.

У 1808—1811 роках, разом із зовицею Кароліною, Марія відвідувала лекції швейцарського художника та мистецтвознавця Йоганна Генріха Мейєра.

У квітні 1813 року, разом із доньками, Марія була змушена знову залишити Веймар та виїхати до Австрії, рятуючись від Наполеона. Повернулись вони тільки після битви під Лейпцигом. Наступного року у Веймарі приймала свою сестру Катерину, якій лікарі радили закордонну поїздку після втрати чоловіка. Фрейліна з почту російської княжни, Роксандра Едлінг, писала: "Веймарський замок дуже гарний, і все влаштовано в ньому на широку ногу. Двір багатолюдніший і багатший за берлінський … ".

У 1814—1815 роках Марія разом зі свекром та братом Олександром I була присутньою на Віденському конгресі, за результатами якого володіння Карла Августа були об'єднані у велике герцогство Саксен-Веймар-Ейзенахське, а її доньки отримали право на предикат Ваша королівська високість. У 1818 році Марії Павлівні нанесли візит її брат-імператор і матір Марія Федорівна. Листувалася Марія Павлівна і з Жуковським.

Після закінчення війни з Наполеоном віддавала перевагу соціальній роботі, заснувала мережу благодійних установ. Крім виплат пенсій та допомоги калікам, удовам і сиротам, принцеса намагалася подолати злидні, породжені війною, створюючи різноманітні школи ремесел, підтримуючи робочі майстерні для дорослих та прядильні для літніх жінок. Створила також Жіноче благодійне товариство і написала його статут. Товариство на пожертвування організовувало пологові відділення при лікарнях для догляду за бідними жінками, надавало безкоштовну медичну допомогу на дому, постачало бідняків ліками, організовувало соціальні ясла.

Завдяки турботам Марії Павлівни у Веймарі були встановлені питні фонтани на вулицях міста. Перша ощадна каса в країні була відкрита за її ініціативи в день її народження в 1821 році. Принцеса допомагала не тільки товариствам, але й окремим людям, які потрапили в скрутне становище, найчастіше залишаючись інкогніто, вважаючи за краще залишатися «невідомою дарувальницею».
Сучасники так характеризували її стиль благодійної роботи: «Ніхто і ніколи не стикався із зволіканням або недоглядом. Відповіді на звернення, пропозиції, звіти організацій слідували зі швидкістю і пунктуальністю, які могли б взяти собі за зразок інші адміністрації, і були так зрозумілі та визначені, що не зрозуміти їх навряд чи було можливо».

У 1825 році під особистим наглядом Марії Павлівни її коштом був відбудований придворний театр, який згорів під час пожежі.

Велика герцогиня Саксен-Веймар-Ейзенаху
У червні 1828 року принцеса з чоловіком гостювали у Росії, коли прийшла звістка про смерть великого герцога Карла Августа. Вони швидко повернулися до Веймару. Новою домівкою родини став Веймарський палац. Марія Павлівна власноруч створила ескізи інтер'єрів його західного крила.

Велика герцогиня взяла на себе покровительство наукам і мистецтвам, дбала про установи, яким раніше протегував її свекор. Гете називав її однією з найкращих і найбільш видатних жінок свого часу. У 1831 році за сприяння Гете і Майєра Марія Павлівна заснувала Товариство з розповсюдження кращих творів нової літератури Німеччини. Влаштовувала при дворі літературні вечори, що стали відомі як «Веймарський гурток», на яких єнські професори читали лекції на теми, обрані Марією Павлівною. Після смерті Гете у 1832 році створила музей, присвячений його пам'яті, а також пам'яті Шиллера, Крістофа Мартіна Віланда і Гердера, які прославили Веймар своєю літературною діяльністю. Для цього у новій частині палацу були виділені покої, які отримали назву Dichtersale — «зали поетів». Кожен з покоїв був присвячений одному з чотирьох митців. На сходах, які вели в ці кімнати, були встановлені бюсти осіб, які свого часу сприяли славі Веймара: художника Лукаса Кранаха, композитора Йогана Себастьяна Баха, диригента Йоганна Гуммеля.

У червні 1841 року вперше з того часу, як стала великою герцогинею, Марія Павлівна, разом із чоловіком та сином, навідала Росію. Вона намагалася просити у брата Миколи руки котроїсь з його доньок для Карла Александра, але через близьке рідство, заборонене православною церквою, їй було відмовлено.

У 1842 році запросила до Веймара Ференца Ліста, що знову підняло славу невеликого міста. Його присутність сприяла візитам до маленької столиці інших важливих музикантів: Вагнера, Берліоза, Антона Рубінштейна, Джованні Баттіста Рубіні.

Герцогиня заохочувала вивчення історії Веймарського герцогства і сусідніх з ним князівств. З часом, завдяки зібраним матеріалам, у 1852 році було засноване Товариство історії. Для університету в Єні, за підтримки Марії Павлівни, купувалися найсучасніші астрономічні інструменти, фізичні прилади та хімічні препарати, поповнювалися колекції. Одна з них, Східний монетний кабінет, своїм багатством зобов'язана виключно придбанням великої герцогині. Поповнювалися також зібрання географічних карт, рукописів, печаток, археологічних знахідок. Правителькою була розширена Веймарська бібліотека, заснована герцогинею Анною Амалією.

Велика герцогиня сприяла відкриттю училища садівництва, підтримувала закладку нових парків і садів, жертвувала значні суми для посадки насаджень уздовж доріг. При Марії Павлівні в герцогському парку почали з'являтися нові садові утворення: «російський сад», «театр на природі».

26 червня 1853 року з життя пішов великий герцог Карл Фрідріх. Новим правителем Саксен-Веймар-Ейзенаху став їхній син Карл Александр.

Останні роки

Марія Павлівна повернулася до Бельведеру, де мешкала з невеликим почтом. В останні роки була близькою до протестантизму. Державними справами не займалася, але продовжила бути радником сина. За словами письменника Карла Августа Фарнхагена фон Ензе, її відрізняли одухотвореність, гідність, витонченість й особлива прямота. Ставши вдовою, перестала брати гроші з державної казни та задовольнялася тим, що отримує з Росії, приблизно 130 000 талерів на рік; надлишки віддавала дочкам і особливо біднякам, роздавала й допомагала всюди.

Востаннє відвідала Росію у 1855 році, де була присутньою на коронації небожа Олександра II.

У червні 1859 року велика герцогиня застудилася, але вважала хворобу несерйозною та заборонила випускати бюлетені з повідомленнями про стан здоров'я. За п'ять днів раптово померла ввечері після відвідин сином у палаці Бельведер у віці 73 років від пневмонії. Карл Александр дізнався про смерть матері на зворотному шляху додому з Бельведеру.

Останки Марії Павлівни, згідно її бажання, були виставлені в закритій труні у грецькій церкві веймарського парку 26 червня з чотирьох годин дня до опівночі. 27 червня о 8 ранку відбулося урочисте поховання великої герцогині у князівській усипальні Веймару. Жителі міста вийшли на вулиці аби попрощатися з колишньою правителькою. Наступного року поруч з усипальнею, на землі, привезеній з Росії, відбулася закладка першого каменю у фундамент майбутнього православного храму, будівництво якого було завершено у 1862 році. Після цього саркофаг із тілом Марії Павлівни було перенесено до крипти храму, яка поєднана з усипальнею арочним проходом.

У 2004 році у Веймарі пройшла виставка «Їхня імператорська високість Марія Павлівна — царська дочка при веймарському дворі», приурочена до 200-річчя одруження Марії Павлівни та її приїзду до Тюрингії; були організовані численні концерти, доповіді, презентації фільмів.

Get Tragic
Sick and tired of the sight of each other after constant touring and four albums, Laura-Mary Carter and Steven Ansell went their acrimonious separate ways at the end of 2014. For years later, breakdowns survived, emotions vented and perspectives regained, they've recoupled for a comeback album that places far more emphasis on electronic textures (partly fuelled by the fact Carter broke her arm and couldn't play guitar), the album opening with Eye To Eye, a clearly autobiographical number about the split.
It's a muscular, dark-hued album, Mexican Dress (about Carter's LA experiences) driving on a focused riff and distorted guitar while, sung by Ansell, Bangsar mixes scratchy pulsing electronics with angry guitars, Nearer is all distorted psychedelic blues, Beverly a synth pulsing strobe rhythm while Howl opens with a keyboard riff reminiscent of The Who's Baba O'Riley before pulling in Occidental hints.
The Ansell-sung, bass droning Anxiety spins a mood that perfectly echoes its title before they close out with Vertigo, another narrowed eyes-focused cloud of neurosis and menace, and, saving best to last, Elijah (""I hear you fucked up again, Elijah, one day you're up then you're down") the Ultravox-ish synth hissing intro giving way to glowering, oppressive guitars and stalking drumbeat that builds to an inevitable crescendo.
A defiant, prickly return, it would indeed be tragic if their audience had moved on to newer footwear in the intervening years.
ATTIC LIGHTS
Love In The Time of Shark Attacks (Elefant)
Their first album in six tears finds the Glasgow quarter in fine ringing guitar mode, immediately conjuring thoughts of Big Star, Teenage Fanclub , The Lemonheads and The Byrds with the opening number Never By Myself evoking The Hollies, a song inspired by singer Colin McArdle finding himself left behind when the tour bus too off for the next city, having to spend the night spending the night on a bench by Loch Ness.
Ruby's Song (which, like Louise, celebrates the arrival of two daughters into the band's family) is more of a chugging boogie riff track that calls to mind the Stones while, inspired by Sterling Morrison's guitar style, the lysergic Come Back To Me floats in a Velvet Underground fog and the state of the world clarion call People Come On harks to late jangling 60s psychedelic pop.
Staying in the same era, Fables is more inclined to simple acoustic coffee bar folk pop while, by contrast, I Found A Girl takes The Kinks dancing with the Burritos Brothers, the band heading down the saloon to hang around the piano for the drunk-hazed lament of Palace of Losers before, the opening guitar line evoking Waterloo Sunset, the riff chugging Kings of Whatever is another Big Star progeny before they close up on late night piano with the reflective, melancholic but warm reassuring comforts of� Back Rub. McArdle doesn't have the strongest voice, but he knows how to put a song across, while the rest of the band ensure he has a solid support network, more than enough, as the song says, to make you smile without warning.
FRANCES CONE
Late Riser (Thirty Tigers)
A classically trained pianist whose band is named for her father and great-grandfather, Nashville-based Christina Cone trades in languidly melancholic dreampop, arranged by partner Andrew Doherty. Her latest album draws on the tensions between creative growth and the worries that things are moving too fast, treating on themes of impermanence.
Largely built around piano, acoustic guitar and bass, while favouring the swirling ambience to be heard on things like the ethereal Wide Awake, Unravelling, Over Now and Easy Love, the band does embrace more energised tracks, most notably on the swelling pop of Failure with its driving drum beat and chiming melody line, the anchoring electric guitar work of Arizona, a song about her filmmaker brother and their religious background, and the slowly building dramatic title track that clearly has stadium powerballad in its DNA. Closing on the brief, All Along, a celestial, almost trace-like song about her mother featuring strings and distorted choir, it won't move mountains, but it might induce a few musical tremors.
CALVA LOUISE
Rhinoceros (Modern Sky)
A London indie trio fronted by spiky Maori singer Alizon Taho, reminiscent in places of a punkier Clare Grogan of Altered Images fame, backed up by Venezuelan Jess Allanic and homegrown Ben Parker, they name their debut after the play by theatre of the absurd writer Eugene Ionesco, a work about the rise of European fascism in the 30s and which mirrors their themes of outsiders looking to fit in and the acceptance or rejection by others. Musically, it's predominantly urgent pop-punk, the charge led by I Heard A Cry and subsequently taken up by, among others, I'm Gonna Do Well, the throbbing bassline-driven Outrageous and Cruel Girl. They do, however, balance these with, if not musically complex, then at least more textured material such as Tug Of War, the psychedelic pop of No Hey with its whistling solo, the 60s flavoured Getting Closer, the chamber pop feel of Wondertale and the Sgt Pepper echoes of Down The Stream. Whether they turn into Blondie or Pink Floyd remains to be seen.
Stay Human Vol. II (Thirty Tigers)
Not specifically a sequel to 2001s' Stay Human, a concept album built around an anti-death penalty message, nonetheless this, the reggae fusion outfit's tenth album, retains their social concerns, opening with the infections semi-spoken Little Things and its optimistic belief in global togetherness.
It's a highly summery pop-oriented collection with catchy, upbeat melodies to mirror the general lyrical tenor, Just To Say I Love You, Enjoy Every Second (featuring reggae rap singer AGodess), the anthemic shuffle Nobody Cries Alone (where he co-opts Marley's "every little thing's gonna be all right') and the cosmic dance floor pulsing Extraordinary all taken from the same hymn book. And, just by way of musical variety, You're Number One has 70s funk guitars colouring the rap and poppy singalong chorus while When the Sun Begins to Shine is a rattling slide guitar blues.
It's an album founded on hope, or as the track puts it, This World Is So Fucked Up (But I Ain't Ever giving Up On It), the sentiments of Flower In The Gun, a duet with Victoria Canal, speaks of need for healing with its nod to the Pulse mass shootings in Orlando, its message echoed in the penultimate slow soul burn Show Me Your Peace Sign.
On Stay Human 2, against a muted drum beat and soaring anthemic dance floor swell, he sings "One love, one life. Throw your hands up high, cause all I'm trying to do is stay human with you" while the chugging guitar riff driven Take Me Alive ends the album with a declaration to "love out loud and live without permission and walk in the light." You'll want to walk alongside him.

Hello my lovelies! I hope you've all had a good week. I haven't managed to post that much as I've been so busy and I'd just like to apologise for that. However, I do have some really exciting news! Very soon I will be posting my first official review on a local product. It's a really great product and I'm so excited to share my thoughts on it with you guys! I promise it will be up this week.
Anyway, it's that time of the week again when I get to share with you just a few snippets from my week. Enjoy!
1. The best thing about this week was that it was half term and I got to spend loads of time with Oscar and my family! On Wednesday we all had a family day out to our local theme park which was a lovely day, although the park itself was a little run down which was disappointing. This is a picture of Oscar and my little brother Kai in the Peter Pan section; one of my favourites from this week!
I did have a really good Halloween though. My family had a big movie night in the lounge with lots of snacks and movies. We watched The Woman In Black which I didn't actually find that scary, probably because I kept thinking of Harry Potter every time I saw Daniel Radcliffe! It was a good film though, and I enjoyed the jumpy parts.
3. Another favourite snippet from my week was helping my sister get ready for a Halloween party. My sister Leah went to her friends party as a cat. I helped her choose her outfit and after much discussion we settled on a black peplum top and leggings) and I also did her makeup. I gave her a soft smokey eye and drew whiskers and a nose with eyeliner. She looked absolutely gorgeous! I really enjoyed being able to work on my own makeup skills. I'm so proud with the result!
4. And finally, another favourite snippet from my week was receiving a beautiful handmade lamp from Oscar. He made this lovely lamp out of a spray can (the base) and recycled tin and materials. It creates a soft, warm purple-ish light which is really nice for cosy nights in bed, and perfect for winter! I love it.
Hope you've all had a great Sunday!
I love halloween and your pumpkin is beautiful! I made one too, but more more simple!
Oscar is so darn adorable! I actually really like that lamp!

The Port of San Diego announced May 31 that its engineering department won the San Diego and Imperial Counties Chapter of the American Public Works Association's 2016 "Project of the Year" award for its emergency wharf repair on the North Embarcadero.
The repairs were necessary after an excursion vessel crashed into the seawall at one of the busiest areas on the San Diego Bay waterfront in March 2016.
The project to rebuild the area was completed 60 days after the accident and restored a highly used walkway, and the appearance of the historic structure. Everything was accomplished with minimal downtime for lessees and without environmental incidents.
Built in 1928 as part of the historic Navy Pier, the structure is located at the intersection of the USS Midway Museum, San Diego Bay harbor cruise facilities, and Harbor Drive.
The honor, acknowledged at the local APWA's annual awards luncheon May 11, was one of five awards earned by the engineering team.
The emergency wharf repair project and other "Project of the Year" award winners from other chapters will be eligible for an "Outstanding Project of the Year" award that will be announced at the APWA's fall dinner.
At a meeting with railroad stakeholders last week, Port of Oakland Executive Director Chris Lytle made his case for more rail business.
Lytle attended the North American Rail Shippers Association's annual meeting in San Francisco, California, where the port chief not only talked about the environmental advantages of reducing truck pollution through rail use, but also spoke of the potential growth in its rail business and the port's recent efforts to raise its rail game.
Some of the projects mentioned includes the completion in late 2016 of a $100 million rail storage yard with 41,000 feet of tracks in proximity of Oakland marine terminals, an ideal location for export shippers.Lytle painted a picture of 100-car grain trains arriving in Oakland, where cargo would be transferred to ocean containers.
Then he mentioned the Cool Port Oakland, a 300,000-square-foot refrigerated facility slated to open in mid-2018.
The warehouse, which will be able to accommodate 36 refrigerated rail cars at once, will become the turning point for the Midwest beef, pork and chicken exports to Asia as the transfer of refrigerated meat from rail cars into cold shipping containers, - will take place in this closed environment.
In addition, city-owned property that used to be part of the Oakland Army Base has the potential to become a port rail yard.
Longtime Seattle-based marine electronics design and manufacturing company WESMAR recently announced that its 75-horsepower Hydraulic Stainless Steel Dual Prop Bow thruster will be part of a custom aluminum ferry designed and built for Homeland Security's Long Island coastal waters.
The 118-foot-long, quad-screw ferry, which will be delivered later this year, is a diesel propelled crew boat style vessel with a welded aluminum mono hull and a 6-foot draft. WESMAR's Dual prop bow thruster will give the ferry maneuvering and docking ability.
Gulfstream Shipbuilding, which won the contract to build the boat, partnered with naval architect C. Fly Marine Services, and WESMAR, who was represented in the contract by Birney Rouselle, Skipper Engineered Products LLC, Harahan, LA, a division of (WESMAR dealer) Donovan Marine.
When completed, the new ferry, which has not yet been named, will be able to carry up to 148 passengers and crew along with fire engines, support vehicles and freight on its rear cargo deck. It will be certified US Coast Guard Subchapter T, under 100-gt.
On May 23, the Port of Long Beach announced the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners' appointment of Duane Kenagy as the new deputy executive director for the Port of Long Beach. Kenagy previously served as interim chief executive while port officials conducted their seven-month search for a new leader following the resignation of Jon Slangerup.
Slangerup left September 8 to lead a Canada-based aviation technology firm. In April, the port named Mario Cordero its new executive director.
Kenagy is a maritime veteran with more than 35 years of experience in engineering and project management in the US and abroad. He worked for engineering consulting firm Moffatt & Nichol, where he was instrumental in the building of the Alameda Corridor rail project.
In 2014, he became the port's Capital Programs Executive tasked with overseeing its major modernization projects, including the replacement of the Gerald Desmond Bridge and the redevelopment of Middle Harbor.
On May 23, the Port of Seattle and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings publicly debuted the renovated Bell Street Cruise Terminal at the port's pier 66 building. About $30 million dollars in improvements were made to the terminal as part of a joint agreement.
The newly refurbished facility features three times the square footage within the same walls, and is custom designed to handle the 4,000-passenger Norwegian Bliss, which will be the largest cruise vessel on the West Coast, arriving in time for the 2018 season.
"Together, we have increased usage capacity by more than 300 percent, created a plush new lounge for suites guests, enlarged the space for all guests awaiting embarkation and much more, allowing for the vacation experience to begin as soon as our guests step foot inside the terminal by providing a seamless, comfortable and stylish ship-to-shore experience," said Howard Sherman, executive vice-president of Onboard Revenue and Destination Development for Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd (NCLH).
The port signed a 15-year lease with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings in August 2015 that secures berth space for NCLH ships in Seattle for the full term of the lease, and provides passenger volume guarantees estimated to bring $73 million dollars of revenue to the port.
Under the lease, Norwegian manages the cruise operations at Pier 66 and has priority rights to the cruise vessel berth throughout the cruise season. The port then operates the facilities the remainder of the year.
"We have a long history with Norwegian from when we first started in the Alaska cruise market over 15 years ago, and we are thrilled with their unprecedented investment," Port of Seattle Commissioner Stephanie Bowman explained. Terminal improvements include a modified elevated passenger boarding bridge and a new gangway that's expected to arrive in early 2018. The brand new state-of-the-art 140-foot gangway will feature incredible floor-to-ceiling transparent walls, immediately connecting guests to stunning views of Elliot Bay.
Seattle's cruise business currently leads all cruise homeports on the US West Coast in passenger volume. Each homeported vessel generates $2.7 million to the local economy, according to the port. More information is available at www.portseattle.org/cruise.
The Port of Portland Commission said May 23 that it has selected Curtis Robinhold as the next executive director for the Port of Portland. Robinhold, currently Portland's deputy executive director, will replace outgoing Executive Director Bill Wyatt, who's retiring on June 30.
Robinhold was hired as deputy executive director in December 2013. It was a newly-created position at the time, the job was never announced by the port and no search to fill it was conducted. Wyatt told The Oregonian newspaper during the time of Robinhold's appointment that the hiring was part of a long-term succession plan.
The Port Commission's process earlier this year for selecting the new executive director included initial interviews by an advisory group, which consisted of representatives from labor, the environmental and business communities. The group recommended three final candidates to the Commission – Robinhold, as well as Jonathan Daniels, the executive director and CEO for the Mississippi State Port Authority, and Stephanie Dawson, the chief operation officer for the Port Authority of New York, New Jersey. On May 10, the Commission interviewed them before the final selection was made May 23.
Wyatt announced his retirement in mid-January. He was first chosen to lead the port in 2001 and he began work just weeks after the September 11 attacks. Prior to that, he served as chief of staff to former Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber for seven years.
Robinhold was Kitzhaber's chief of staff from 2011 until being hired by the port in late 2013.
A commercial fishing vessel ran aground during the early morning hours of May 28 near Ventura Harbor, about nine miles north of the Port of Hueneme in Southern California, according to the US Coast Guard.
Members of Coast Guard Marine Safety Detachment Santa Barbara and Coast Guard Station Channel Islands Harbor responded to an unnamed 36-foot commercial fishing vessel at about 1 a.m. after it ran aground near the mouth of the Santa Clara River.
The Coast Guard said that personnel with Marine Safety Detachment Santa Barbara led the response and investigation efforts, with the aid of Coast Guard Station Channel Islands Harbor, Coast Guard Sector Los Angeles-Long Beach, Ventura Harbor Patrol, Ventura Fire Department, and the Oxnard Fire Department.
The Coast Guard said that it was working on the safe removal of the vessel and its contents, and that the cause of the incident is still under investigation.
The boat's fuel was removed Sunday and the vessel was towed back into Ventura Harbor Sunday night at high tide for inspection and damage repair.
No injuries or pollution were reported, according to the USCG.
Alaska-based Crowley Fuels has been honored with the ConocoPhillips/Alaska Trucking Association "Alaska Safe Truck Fleet of the Year" award in the Line Haul Division (fleet size under 50 units) for performing at an elite safety level, the company announced May 23.
ConocoPhillips/ATA presented the award to Crowley Vice President Laura Yellig during the ATA's annual Safety Awards Banquet last month in Anchorage.
The Safety Awards Banquet, dually hosted each year by the ATA and ConocoPhillips, is an event to recognize carriers that have the best safety performance.
In being considered for the "Alaska Safe Truck Fleet of the Year" award, the Crowley team was evaluated and ranked on several 2016 statistics, including: total number of miles driven, the company's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration CSA fleet scores, accident frequency, and overall Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rate.
Last year, drivers of Crowley's fleet of more than 100 vehicles, which includes 27 line haul trucks, drove almost three million miles while delivering more than 150 million gallons of petroleum products to communities across Alaska, according to the company.
"Our highway staff earned the honor by doing their best every single day, often in incredibly challenging conditions," Yellig said in a statement.

App Urges Mexicans To Cast 'A Useful Vote,' The Party In Power Complains
The focus is highlighting candidates with the best chance of defeating dreaded options.
By Jimena Rivera June 2, 2021
Mexico's midterm elections on June 6 could show what the population thinks of the president. An actuary and mathematician launched voto-util.mx, a platform that encourages people to vote for candidates who have a better chance of winning, rather than choosing their first option. (Alfredo Martinez/Getty Images)
Jhovana Castellanos wanted to cast a useful vote in Mexico's June 6 election. So, she tried to use the app designed for this purpose. However, the process was complicated, and she felt suspicious.
"I tried to register, but the truth was it [the app] asked me for a lot of information … that I did not believe was necessary," she said.
"I hesitated and decided it was not safe. Maybe it was a bit of ignorance on my part … but I was more concerned with data protection than casting my vote."
The feeling of mistrust stands out in the scene prior to the June 6 election.
Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) was elected president in 2018, with his National Regeneration Movement (Morena) party.
Three years later, Mexicans may try to find a counterweight and balance the branches of power in the midterm election. Many joined get-out-the-vote efforts, hoping to make it clear for Mexicans that it is important to exercise their right.
Businessmen and activists have come together to call for a "useful vote." Some have even developed platforms that provide citizens with more information on how to exercise it.
They describe the "useful vote" as a strategic vote in favor of a party that is not necessarily the voter's favorite, but has a greater chance of defeating another whose victory is not desired. More than a vote in favor, it is a vote against options that some voters consider worse.
#Elecciones2021MX @vutilmx
De poco servirá tanta queja en redes sociales y sesudas columnas de crítica política si ello no tiene un efecto concreto en la elección de la #CamaraDiputadosMX
Lo que sí puede hacer la diferencia es maximizar el #VotoUtil2021 https://t.co/T0R8na8JyS
— Arturo Erdely 😷 (@ArturoErdely) May 23, 2021
Arturo Erdely, an actuary and doctor in mathematical sciences at Mexico's National Autonomous University, developed the platform voto-util.mx that helps the voter cast a strategic vote.
"The useful vote is a strategic vote that seeks a specific result, in this case, finding a balance of power through the Chamber of Deputies and that the [parties of the] executive and legislative branches are not the same," he said.
Morena condemned the site and those who paid for its development on April 15. The party claimed the tool incurs an improper free speech exercise and violates the election's fairness.
"The Morena party reported it to the National Electoral Institute (INE), considering that it violated electoral regulations. But after analyzing the issue, the agency found no violations of electoral laws or regulations. The methodology presented is completely transparent, based on public information from the INE," said Erdely.
The app asks the state where users will cast their vote and the section number in their national election card. It uses this information to provide data that allows the voter to know who is leading the polls and cast "a useful vote."

Aida Calderón, who lives in Mexico City, is ready to cast her vote and is clear who to vote for on June 6. Despite not having used the helpful-vote app, she said it is an essential tool regarding transparency and access to information.
"I know there are groups that have an agenda. However, it is good they develop this type of platform and the government allows it. It bears witness to the freedom of expression that still exists in the country. It is important to have information access to vote in a more thoughtful way and be sure of what we want for Mexico," she said.
AMLO ran for president in 2006, 2012 and 2018, when he was finally elected. Throughout these years, he has been building a controversial persona, now attached to the Morena party. The June 6 election will confirm if his reputation can push the vote toward the party without his name on the ballot.

Saturated fat is a type of dietray fat where all the fatty acids have single bonds. Most animal fats are saturated while that from plants and fish are generally unsaturated. Saturated fats have a higher melting point and tend to be solids at body temperatures while unsaturated fats tend to be liquid.
Fat is formed from two kinds of smaller molecules: monoglyceride and fatty acids in long chains of carbon atoms. Some carbon atoms are linked by single bonds and others are linked by double bonds. Double bonds can react with hydrogen to form single bonds. They are called saturated, because the second bond is broken and each half of the bond is attached to a hydrogen atom.
Foods containing a high proportion of saturated fat cream, cheese, butter, other whole milk dairy products and fatty meats. Some plant based products such as coconut oil and palm kernel oil also high saturated fat content.
Saturated fatty acids appear in different proportions in different food groups. Lauric acid and myristic acid are commonly found in "tropical" oils such as palm kernel and coconut oil, and in dairy products. The saturated fat in meat, eggs, cacao, and nuts is primarily the triglycerides of palmitic acid and stearic acid.
For decades it was thought that saturated fat was less healthy and contributed to disease, particularly cardiovascular disease. Recent research ahs indicated this might not be the case, and that the role of saturated fat in the diet may be much more complicated thatn previouslty thought. Still, most health organization recommend limiting the intake of saturated fat. Recent studies have indicated this might not be true in all cases.
There are consistent and established relationships between dietary saturated, cholesterol levels, and cardiovascular disease. High triglyceride levels, high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, and low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) are associated with increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Research ahs established a significant relationship between saturated fat and cholesterol levels.
The World Health Organization recommends restricting total intake of saturated fatty acids to less than 10% of daily calories for the average person and to less than 7% for high-risk groups. The American Heart Association concurs that reduction in saturated fat consumption would positively affect health and reduce the prevalence of heart disease and the British Heart Foundation advises people to cut down on saturated fat.
Recommendations to lower saturated fat have recently been criticized for focusing too narrowly on reducing saturated fats rather than emphasizing increasing ed consumption of healthy fats and unrefined carbohydrates. Concern was expressed over the health risks of replacing saturated fats in the diet with refined carbohydrates, which carry a high risk of obesity and heart disease, particularly at the expense of polyunsaturated fats which may have health benefits. Overall, emphasis should be on overall dietary quality to improve cardiovascular health.

Just after five years of the terrorist attack of 9/11 on America, again a debate has started on terrorism prevalent in the world. In the last 5 years, Al Qaeda & its leader Osama Bin Laden captured the attention of the media, whereas after this attack, American President George Bush left no stone unturned to change the scenario of the world politics by his 'War against Terrorism.' Before & after the incident of September 11, 2001, the news through Laden, the Al Qaeda chief, were open in which there was Fatwa (Religious Instruction) that it was the duty of every Muslim to attack American people & harm American interests in the world. First of all in 1998, Laden ordered all the Muslims of the world to attack military camps of America & its allies. He said that these attacks were to remain in force till they call back their each & every soldier from all the Muslim countries of the world.' Obviously this fatwa or the religious instruction issued by Laden given to the Muslims brings a question in the forefront that what right Laden has to give directions to the Muslims of the world? What right he has to issue this type of Non-Islamic Fatwas? When & on what basis was Laden authorized by the Muslims of the world to organize Al Qaeda & spread terrorism for killing the innocents of the world? Last but not the least question arises if Osama Bin Laden according to Islamic law is a Muslim or not? To know these questions, it is important to know the personal & family background of Laden.
The name of this terrorist chief is Osama Bin Mohammad Ben Avad Bin Laden & he was born on 10th of the March 1957 in Riyadh City of Saudi Arabia. He was born in a rich & respected family of Saudi Arabia. His father Mohammad Bin Laden was the owner of a famous company 'Bin Laden Company' & was quite near to the royal family of Saudi Arabia. Mohammad Bin Laden made 22 marriages in his life. From these wives he got 55 issues, Osama Bin Laden was first son of 10th wife & was 17th in order. Osama's mother Hamida Al Attas was born in Syria. After sometime of Osama's birth his father divorced his mother. After that, his mother made her second marriage to an officer working in Bin Laden Company & his name was Mohammad Al Attas. Osama's mother gave birth to three sons & a daughter from his second husband. In this way Osama was brought up among his step father & four step brothers & sisters.
Astonishingly the family background of Osama Bin Laden not a surprise in a so called Islam country as Saudi Arabia because it is a common matter in the Arab world to make many marriages under the pretext of Islamic religious law which allows for four marriages only. But when a dreaded man as Osama Bin Laden becomes the chief of terrorists & empowers himself to direct the Muslims of all the world, then it becomes pertinent to see that according to Islam's religious law whether he himself is a Muslim or not? And to what extent he & his father have given regards to Islamic religious laws & how far he has acted upon these laws. As is said by the Islam prophets that to disobey & ignore the tenets written in Islamic religious laws, is Non-Islamic. So a man who is involved in Non-Islamic activities & doesn't obey the directives of the Islamic religious laws and defines it just according to his own convenience, how can such a person call himself a real Muslim?
Mohammad Bin Laden openly ignored the directive of making four marriages as given in Islamic religious laws & made 22 marriages. Obviously the 18 marriages made after the four as allowed by the Islamic religious laws are illegal, accordingly. As Osama Bin Laden is from the tenth wife of his father & Islamic religious law doesn't allow for more than four marriages, so this marriage of his father & his mother can't be said legal according to Islamic religious laws. Obviously when the marriage is not according to Islamic religious laws the son too is not according to Islamic religious laws. Now the question is that after this type of marriage which is not according to Islamic religious laws, how can the son Osama be called a Muslim? How can he be accepted a hero of the Mohammedans of the entire world? Now a matter under perusal can be, where keepers of the Islam everywhere quote the Islamic religious laws & make the peaceful religious issues as controversial, by bringing these under the context of Islamic religious laws, is it not a subject to think that if Osama Bin Laden has a right to call himself a Mohammedan or not?
The anti-Islam movements & activities of Osama Bin Laden & the harm being made by these to the Muslims of the world arises a question in the minds of the Muslims of the world if the activities of Laden & instructions issued by him are not a part of an inconvincible conspiracy? All the world is very well aware of the fact that Osama Bin Laden & Al Qaeda are the product of America & were prepared by American intelligence agency, CIA, to be active in Afghanistan & to struggle against Soviet Union. At that time, by the dethronement of Najib government in Afghanistan, return of Soviet armies from Afghanistan & organization of Taliban, all these were helpful to American interests & were harmful to international Soviet interests. It is not mistaken that even today, the religious instructions of Osama Bin Laden seem to be against America but in reality, his all steps are anti-Muslim & seems to be fulfilling the American desires.
After the terrorizing incident in America on September 11, 2001, George Bush declared a war against terrorism & there was a planned movement to harm the Muslim countries & to massacre the Mohammedans on the name of terrorism. Laden, undoubtedly devastated the two big towers in New York, which were known as World Trade Centre, by its Anti-Islamic & anti-humanitarian orders, but is it not true that as a result of this dreaded incident these two multi-storied buildings took sacrifice of two countries- Afghanistan & Iraq? Who can speak in favour of kidnapping of innocents, kidnapping of scribes & news reporters & beheading them? Which Islam & which Islamic religious laws allow this hateful action? What benefit are these, hateful & inhuman acts are providing to the Mohammedans of the world? If the Mohammedans of the world carefully look at the works of Osama Bin Laden, they will find that the killing of one American citizen by Laden's people has been reciprocated by one thousand lives of the Mohammedans. Today, because of inhuman & anti-Muslim activities of Laden, the valuable natural oil resources of Iraq, which were its pride, are now under the control of America.
Do the above facts not compel to think that Laden's calling himself a Mohammedan & to take charge of Islamic flag in his hand is not a result of any secret design? At the same time, Osama Bin Laden a Mohammedan or not, keeping in view his inhuman activities & Islamic religious laws.
