Who will follow Bintley?
Barnes2 posted a topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I have just read that David Bintley is stepping down as Director at Birmingham at the end of this season. This is devastating news. It seems suspiciously sudden. Who do we think/hope will follow him? Please God it will be a Director anxious to maintain this Company as a classical Company. Who are the favourites ?

Any of our fabulous adult dancers interested in this? I have a vested interest as I have an ex-colleague who is going to be a peer motivator and I lost my beautiful mom this summer after complications following a fall. Plus the outreach and participation department at BRB are just amazing and do wonderful work with so many sections of the community. https://www.facebook.com/bhamroyalballet/posts/10155038707483085

BRB Midscale tour : North 2015
SheilaC posted a topic in Performances seen & general discussions
The Northern leg opened in York on Tuesday, at the Grand Opera House, a venue new to the company. Although overall successful, the tour was plagued with problems. There were no programmes as those for the North had been sent to the South and vice versa. There were few cast sheets and on the Wednesday evening some of those available were those for the matinee. But by far the worst problem was that at the end of the first ballet on Wednesday night, Delia Mathews had a nasty fall, causing serious injury, and resulting in the cancellation of the middle piece, Kin, in which she was scheduled to take the lead, as Elisha Willis, who had taken that role at the first performance, had already left York and so could not take over. Marion Tait came on stage to explain and apologise and the audience reacted sympathetically. The programme is well balanced, opening with Ashton's Les Rendezvous, still in the garish designs that are at total variance with Ashton's intention. In two performances the leads were reprised by Elisha Willis and Chi Cao but at the final performance Delia Mathews and Brandon Lawrence took over. Until her fall Delia tackled the tricky choreography fairly confidently and with more Ashtonian style than most of the other dancers. Brandon also impressed with good control and charismatic stage presence. The middle piece is Alex Whitley's Kin, premiered last year and still impressing with its choreographic ingenuity, testing the dancers both technically and emotionally. Although Whitley was at one time a dancer with the company, before moving to Rambert, it is more contemporary than the other pieces in their rep and the dancers respond energetically. The leads at the two performances were Elisha Willis and Joe Caley, and Delia Mathews and William Bracewell. They performed it differently but well but there was regret that Jenna Roberts's injury has prevented her from reprising it. The final piece is that audience favourite, Elite Syncopations. The audience applauded at the start, when the curtain lifts to reveal the band on stage and in costume. Across the three performances many soloists strutted their stuff but the star has to be James Barton, deploying his dramatic flair to the full, and in role at all times, even when other dancers are featured. One innovation this year is a pre-performance talk. Marion Tait, at her most eloquent, and Dominic Antonucci, were clear and enthusiastic, explaining the purpose of the mid-season tour, describing the daily routine of the dancers and talking about their own experience and describing the bill. Everyone found it a fascinating and informative talk.

BRB Split Tour 2015
Pulcinella posted a topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Although BRB haven't announced details of their split tours for next year yet I received the brochure for the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham today and they will be performing there on Tuesday 26 and Wednesday 27 May at 7.45, matinee Wednesday 2.00. Booking opens 29 November and the rep will be Quatrain (Kit Holder), Facade plus excerpts from Beauty and the Beast, Swan Lake and La Fille mal gardee.
BRB's Coppelia
BRB has started its latest run of Coppelia in Edinburgh at the Festival Theatre. I missed the opening night but reports claim that Elisha Willis, Joe Caley and Michael O'Hare surpassed themselves. The Thursday matinee was notable for finally giving Samara Downs her first leading role, as Swanilda- previously she's always been a Friend, never the lead. Her dancing was confident and her interpretation impressive. Jamie Bond was a convincing Franz and Rory Mackay a touching Dr Coppelius: modern British productions underplay the sinister elements of Hoffman's eccentric scientist but within that approach Rory's sensitive and detailed characterisation is very effective. In the evening Momoko Hirata's dancing was technically assured and elegant and Cesar Morales's Franz a sympathetic chancer, danced with his usual stylistic aplomb, and Jonathan Payn an effective conventional Coppelius.The Act 3 solos were well done in both performances; Jenna Roberts danced Prayer sensitively in both performances- it's a difficult solo to pull off but she had the necessary gravity and control. As Dawn, Karla Doorbar and Yvette Knight, very different dancers in physique and style, were equally good. In Act 1, Daria Stanciulescu, a dancer new to me, and Maureya Lebowitz, again very different dancers, were sultry Gypsies. On Friday BRB premiered First Steps: a Child's Coppelia. I was unable to see it but it sounds an interesting variation on the child-friendly performances that British companies have been introducing. It was the Festival Theatre iwho suggested it, professional dancers will be performing and talking about their roles and the orchestra will be playing so it will be quite a full scale introduction.

Birmingham Royal Ballet - South West Tour 2014 (Les Rendezvous, Kin, Elite Syncopations)
BristolBillyBob posted a topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Um, if you're not a fan of gushing praise you'll probably want to take this opportunity to finish the ironing. WHAT A SHOW. Birmingham Royal Ballet are a company on absolute fire at the moment. This triple bill, as a showcase of the immense depth and diversity of their talent, is second to none. Les Rendezvous was a lovely start to the show. The setting was simple, the costumes sumptuous, and the dancing full of summery joy. I'm not necessarily Ashton's biggest fan, but this was a candy-store delight. While it was danced beautifully by all the cast, two things really stood out in Les Rendezvous. Firstly, just how strong the dancing of the men at BRB is. It's a recurring theme for my reviews of the company. My ballet buddy and I had a chat in the interval about this and she suggested that this might be partly because David Bintley carefully picks pieces and choreographs ballets with such strong parts for male dancers. In any case, I've mentioned how talented they are before and I'm happy to repeat myself. The second thing that stood out is just how good Laura Day is. I'd enjoyed her performance in Card Game earlier in the season, but I'd suspected it was largely because the role suited her so perfectly. But here she shone whenever she was on stage. It's possibly the highest compliment I can pay at the moment when I say that Laura strongly reminded me of ENB's superb Nancy Osbaldston, as Nancy is already one of my all time favourite dancers. They both share a small stature, but actually the connection is that they both have a sublime grace of movement. It's agonisingly hard to describe what I mean, but there's that indefinable something that makes them both an absolute pleasure to watch. I note from the programme that she was born in Cheltenham, so I hope she had lots of family and friends in to witness what a talent she's becoming. Kin. If Jenna Roberts were to declare that she doesn't love contemporary choreography above everything else, I would eat my trousers. It simply can't be possible to act the way she inhabited her role in Kin. She was equally perfect in Lyric Pieces the last time BRB were in Cheltenham, too. It's almost like she is in the company as the contemporary specialist! She was utterly mesmeric to watch in a piece that I came to adore as it went on. Kin is a fascinating piece. In brooding monochrome with a similarly monochromatic but subtly textured score to match, this abstract ballet's choreography was complex, fiendishly difficult-looking in places and fascinating. In one pas de deux with Jenna Roberts and Joseph Caley, the two dancers seemed completely separate on the stage, seemingly disconnected. In places, though, the two synchronise and match movements or come into contact with one another. As a means to express the invisible but powerful bonds that exist between people, it was immensely powerful. Alexander Whitley's choreography was some of the most interesting I've seen, and has further whetted the appetite for more contemporary works that Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet first instilled in me last year. More please! I should also mention that the costumes in this were fantastic. Jean-Marc Puissant provided the costumes for Take Five too, and these shared the same elegant, cool simplicity of that show. Elite Syncopations I've already waxed lyrical about this performance here, and it all applies equally here. I love this piece. Once again, the curtain simply going up got a gasp of approval from the audience! Getting to see Yvette Knight and James Barton's Alaskan Rag again was an absolute joy - I don't think I've seen anything in a theatre that has made me feel so happy! Once again, this was danced beautifully by everyone, including a lovely solo by Samara Downs. Because I'm slightly worried that you lot might have concluded from previous reviews that I have the least discerning taste on the planet, and that I'm someone who probably just dishes out worship indiscriminately, I wish I could find some criticism, somewhere, of this triple bill. I simply can't. If you think I've waffled or written too much in this review, think yourself lucky. I could've written ten times this amount and still not have covered off everything I wanted to heap praise upon. It was immaculate, simply immaculate.

BRB Nutcracker at the O2
alison posted a topic in Performances seen & general discussions
It's late, so I won't say much, but I did want to congratulate BRB's technical team on managing to transfer their production of Nutcracker to the barn O2 so well. It looked very good. I haven't seen it for over a decade, so I'll leave it to Janet and others with more recent experience to say if anything has changed. Some practicalities: with a late start and I suspect a longer interval than intended, it finished at just after 10 pm. The orchestra non-pit is in front of the stage, so nobody will be very close, and I think some people might have the harps in their line of sight quite badly.


It's winter. So global warming must be false!
• Nearly four inches of snow blanketed the United Arab Emirates' Jebel Jais region for just the second time in recorded history on Jan. 24. Citizens were speechless. The local dialect has no word for snowfall.
• Dutchmen on ice skates sped past windmills as canals in Holland froze in mid-January for the first time since 1997. Defense Minister Eimert van Middelkoop, who inhabits a renovated 17th Century windmill, stumbled on the ice and fractured his wrist.
• January saw northern Minnesota's temperatures plunge to 38 below zero, forcing ski-resort closures. A Frazee, Minnesota dog-sled race was cancelled, due to excessive snow. Snow whitened Surf City, North Carolina's beaches. Days ago, ice glazed Florida's citrus groves.
Surely Deroy Murdock doesn't think such anecdotes seriously refute the idea that there is a globally averaged warming trend—or does he?
We all make mistakes. And even the most humble among us can be a little self-righteous when it comes to our pet projects. But when was the last time you came across a self-righteous pseudo-skeptic who had the decency to admit to getting it completely wrong? Meet Steven Goddard of The Register, a peculiar little news outlet published in London. Sort of. Goddard wrote a piece that appeared on Aug. 15 under the bold headline "Arctic ice refuses to melt as ordered." As anyone who has been following the plunging arctic sea-ice extent graphs at the National Sea Ice Data Center can attest, this is a rather peculiar interpretation of the data.

ST segment monitoring of coronary reperfusion
A Di Chiara,
L Badano
dichiara.antonio{at}aoud.sanita.fvg.it
http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/heart.88.4.334
A 58 year old man with no previous cardiac history presented to the coronary care unit with an acute inferoposterior myocardial infarction. Fibrinolysis with alteplase (rt-PA) was started within two hours following symptom onset. Reperfusion was monitored with a 12 lead ST monitor (Surveyor, Mortara, Italy). After a transient recovery and re-elevation (caused by atropine administration), the ST segment repeatedly (16 times) waxed and waned, over a fixed cycle of about four minutes (see lead D3 ST trend on right side of panel). Cyclic oscillations became progressively wider, despite the mean ST segment value progressively decreasing. The phenomenon was exacerbated after glyceryl trinitrate (TNG) infusion, that was thereafter re-introduced at a dose of up to 300 μg/min. After 90 minutes, the ST segment level in lead D3 recovered from 0.5 mV to 0.16 mV. The patient's chest pain gradually diminished and disappeared with no correlation with ECG. Troponin I peak (25.6 ng/ml) was recorded 10 hours after symptoms onset, and then rapidly decreased. The patient was discharge after five days after following a normal clinical course.
The nature of this intermittent closing and opening of the infarct coronary artery is not known. The presence of periodism and its relation with nitrate withdrawal and readministration should indicate a vasomotor mechanism, rather than a thrombotic phenomenon. This case supports the superiority of continuous ST segment monitoring over single ECGs in assessing ST segment resolution during fibrinolysis.

There is no denying the popularity of NFTs even as it is difficult to describe why NBA fans can't get enough of them. I guess that just goes hand in hand with fandom, collectibles and emerging digital technologies.
The Detroit Pistons are getting in on the NFT game with the release of 890 NFTs across four series — championship rings, championship banners, collectible tickets and a special edition series.
Many of these exclusive NFTs will be released in a limited series of packs called Collector Boxes which each contain three of the exclusive non-fungible tokens.
The NFT auctions and Collector Boxes will be available to the public beginning Thursday, and fans can visit www.pistons.com/nft to learn more about the collectibles. The first drop of Collector Boxes is Tuesday, July 27.
Detroit Bad Boys will also give away the contents of one exclusive Collector Box to a fan through a new Discord channel being established by The Detroit Pistons and the NFT auction company. More details on the giveaway coming soon, and those will be announced on Detroit Bad Boys' Twitter and Facebook accounts and in the Discord channel.
UPDATE: Detroit Bad Boys is giving away a Pistons NFT Collector Box on Tuesday, July 27, and all you have to do is:
Join the Detroit Pistons NFT discord channel
React to our Giveaway post with the exclusive emoticon as mentioned on the post.
Users who do will be entered into a randomized drawing taking place Tuesday evening.
You can also find more information about the NFT launch and an analysis on the rarity and speculative value of the NFTs over at Own the Moment. Own the Moment is partnering with the Pistons as part of the NFT launch.
These digital renderings commemorate historic moments throughout Pistons history including key games in each round of the team's championship runs in 1989, 1990 and 2004.
The NFTs range in rarity from the ultra-rare championship rings to more common items like championship banners and game tickets.
The Pistons are also adding a little old-fashioned tangible fun to the digital collectible game for those who get exclusive NFTs or gather sets of NFTs. These include VIP events, physical replicas of the championship rings, meet and greets with a member of the team and tickets to games.
The Collector Boxes can be purchased for roughly $300 or digital collectibles can be purchased at auction.
If the release proves to be a hit with fans and the NBA continues to embrace NFTs, the plan is for future drops and more enhanced benefits, according to I Got It, the technology firm behind the NFT release and auction.
I Got It has previously partnered with franchises including the New Orleans Saints, New Orleans Pelicans, Milwaukee Bucks and Cleveland Cavaliers.

NBN a reminder of why Turnbull's 5G plan is flawed
By Paul Budde | 8 May 2019, 12:00pm | comments
Malcolm Turnbull seems to have forgotten Australia's struggle with the NBN in his suggestion regarding 5G networks (Screenshot via YouTube)
Malcolm Turnbull has suggested Western nations should develop independent 5G networks, forgetting the failure of our NBN as an example of Government intervention, writes Paul Budde.
IT WAS WITH GREAT INTEREST that I read about Malcolm Turnbull's New York speech where he called for the Anglo-Saxon group of countries known as the Five Eyes to develop their own 5G networks.
While cyber security is most certainly a very important issue, his idea is flawed on many levels.
Over the last 20 years, the economic forces within our capitalist economic system have done their job and, through competition, the American telecoms vendors lost the game in favour of their Scandinavian and Chinese opponents. Within a short period of one decade, most of the traditional telecoms manufacturing industry of America had been wiped out (this also included, for example, the Canadian telecommunications manufacturer Nortel and the British company GEC Plessey).
This had partly to do with the arrogant stand of the Americans. They thought that the proprietary CDMA mobile technology that they had developed would win the 3G mobile standard battle from the Europeans. They had developed an open GSM system. The Chinese abandoned their own flavour of a 3G standard and embraced the open GSM standard and thus cleverly used the gap left by the Americans. As a result, we saw the rapid rise of the Chinese telecoms vendors.
'Frankly absurd': Malcolm Turnbull blasts western nations' 5G failures https://t.co/eVPzKmHnEi via @theage-does he blame on slow speed of NBN?
— FairTrade (@letustalkpoli) May 1, 2019
The European countries, under the leadership of the EU, created a regulatory regime that supported a very competitive market. They did this through regulations based on cost-based interconnection, unbundling and roaming policies. The American vendors totally miscalculated the market and, as mentioned, went under within a very short period. Market forces as the fundamentals of our capitalistic economy model did their job.
What the Liberal Malcolm Turnbull now suggests is that, in one way or another, the Anglo-Saxon countries should rebuild their own telecommunication manufacturing capabilities. Without any Government intervention, there won't be any company willing to make the large investments needed to build up such capability. According to his own Liberal mantra, Government intervention in a free market is frowned upon. We all see what happens if governments start interfering in telecoms — look at the mess of the NBN in Australia. So much for Liberal policies that so fiercely defend the mantra that market forces should be left free to sort out who is the best.
Malcolm Turnbull tried to convince President Trump to take leadership here, but taking such action in America would be total heresy and would be seen as bringing a communist regime into their country — this will never happen.
The demise of the telecoms manufacturing industry can indeed be seen as a strategic loss for the Anglo-Saxon countries. However, the industry has changed beyond recognition over the last few decades. It would lake a long time and a lot of Government money (directly or indirectly) to bring that capability back in-house.
Vertiv and 451 Research release new report on 5G preparedness: https://t.co/sVE5N23HgW
— IT Brief Australia (@ITBriefAU) May 7, 2019
It is also interesting to contrast this call for Government intervention with Malcolm Turnbull's earlier stand on the NBN, as he was totally against Government intervention in the telecoms market at that stage and blamed the Labor Government for the legacy of that decision. He indicated that while he was against the policy, he had no other choice than to accept this Government initiative.
I never received any support from him for my argument that the NBN needed to be seen as a national asset in the sense that this was not just a commercial venture that needed to make a profit. The reason being that it will deliver very significant national social and economic benefits. I am still arguing about the fact that part of the current $50 billion investment in the NBN should be written off for that very reason. Also, here cyber security can be added as an additional reason why this should be done.
Another observation is that the core of the telecoms network has been hollowed out over the last few decades with organisations such as Google, Facebook, Amazon and the thousands of others using cloud computing. They are only using the good old telecoms network to provide the access.
In addressing the security issue, how will Malcolm Turnbull and his Anglo-Saxon comrades address the technology issues such as cloud computing, data centres, AI and blockchain? These have become the core of the network and they have become far more important and critical elements than the traditional telecom network itself.
I am certainly not saying that the security issues are not a problem and yes, we should address this. But before yet another set of short-term bandage policies are implemented, let's sit back and look at the overall picture. What is needed is a good international look at how we are going to manage the risks of our future telecoms networks.
Why does Australia's ban on #Huawei #5G create lots of legal issues? Find out here… #HuaweiFacts https://t.co/o3adyKqqRT
— Huawei Facts (@HuaweiFacts) May 6, 2019
First, let's relax on the issue of 5G. The fact that there is so much focus on 5G is because politicians have very little understanding of telecoms technologies. Despite their panic reactions, nothing serious is going to happen in the mobile market for at least the next five years. The question remains — where is the business model from the telcos that would warrant massive investments in 5G technology? For the foreseeable future, 4G will be the mobile network that will be used. Furthermore, 5G will only be an add-on to the existing infrastructure. In relation to security, what do the politicians think what we should do with the existing networks?
As we have indicated before, look how the various governments have used the existing fixed and mobile networks for their own spying purposes. Hardly anything on the technical side is stopping them from doing so. After the revelations of Edward Snowden, it is clear that if governments want, they can tap into any telecoms network from any telecommunications vendor. There is plenty of evidence that they are doing so on a continuous basis.
There is no way that the telecoms networks can simply be made much safer by equipment from an Anglo-Saxon company. Governments and criminals will be able to tap into any network. One solution would be to play the cat-and-mouse game and make interference increasingly more difficult (and expensive) to do so. Another alternative would be to copy the Chinese and Russians and just create a telecoms island around, for example, the Five Eyes countries, but the damage to their digital economies would be severe.
The only real solution – to at least limit the security risk – is for all countries to sit together and address these issues through international treaties; for example, the nuclear treaty. But as we all know, President Trump hates international treaties even with his democratic allies in Europe and elsewhere. We will never be able to make the telecoms networks 100% safe. What we can do is limit the risk and damage as much as possible, but this requires collaboration from all parties involved: governments, businesses and the users.

Work to start on first of Meridian Water's 10,000 homes
Aaron Morby 8 months ago
Plans for the first 300 homes at Meridian Water have been given the green light by London's Enfield Council.
First phase one homes North London regeneration scheme
Vistry Partnerships is working with the council to bring forward the proposals, which form part of Meridian One, the first phase of the Lee Valley regeneration scheme in north London.
Ultimately, the vast Meridian Water scheme will see 10,000 homes built.
In addition to the first 300 homes, Vistry Partnerships will be working with the council to bring forward a planning application for a further 700 homes within phase one later this year, including 50% affordable housing across the Meridian One site.
Enfield Council Leader, Cllr Nesil Caliskan, said: "This is a huge moment for Meridian Water and a giant leap forward for housing provision in Enfield. Meridian Water will provide thousands of good quality affordable homes in our borough and will play a major role in tackling the housing shortage here.
"Enfield Council is at the forefront of major infrastructure and house building schemes in our borough delivering affordable housing for residents"
Matthew Taylor, managing director of Vistry Partnerships London Developments said: "Designed by Hawkins\Brown and HTA Design with Fisher Cheng and Urban Projects Bureau, Meridian One is a huge opportunity to transform this area into a vibrant place for people to live."
Construction of the new homes is due to start in July and the first homes are due to be completed before the end of 2022.

Widespread parts price fixing cases roll on
Miles Moore
WASHINGTON—To date, 35 corporations have pleaded guilty in the ongoing investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ) Antitrust Division into alleged price fixing, bid rigging and market allocation by auto parts manufacturers.
These companies have paid more than $2.5 billion in criminal fines. However, with the multi-district litigation (MDL) facing them in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, the real financial damage may be yet to come.
Since the first filing on Feb. 7, 2012, to the latest on June 5, 2015, a total of 993 documents have been filed so far in the price-fixing MDL before U.S. District Judge Marianne O. Battiani.
Suits were filed against 51 companies, of which eight—including such well-known names as Panasonic, TRW, and Autoliv—have settled, according to Hollis Salzman, assistant managing partner in the New York office of law firm Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi L.L.P.
Ms. Salzman is co-lead counsel for the "end payor" settlement class of the MDL—that is, U.S. citizens who purchased vehicles that contained the parts in question. There are two other settlement classes in the litigation—one for auto dealers who sold the vehicles, and one for auto makers who purchased the parts directly from the accused companies.
Of the 43 companies that have yet to settle, according to Ms. Salzman, four are manufacturers of rubber auto parts—Bridgestone Corp., Toyo Tire & Rubber Co. Ltd., Yamashita Rubber Co. Ltd. and Tokai Rubber Industries Inc. In 2014, Tokai Rubber changed its name to Sumitomo Riko Co. Ltd.
In February 2014, Bridge-stone pleaded guilty in Toledo, Ohio, federal district court to one count of conspiracy to fix prices for rubber anti-vibration parts. Bridge-stone paid a fine of $425 million and posted a special loss of $440 million against its 2013 financial results.
Three months earlier, Toyo also pleaded guilty to price fixing in rubber anti-vibration parts and agreed to pay a $120 million fine. Yamashita pleaded guilty to price fixing in September 2013 and agreed to pay an $11 million fine.
Tokai Rubber/Sumitomo Riko did not appear on a search of the DOJ Antitrust Division website. However, a search of "Tokai Rubber" on the website turned up the November 2012 price fixing guilty plea of an executive of the Ohio subsidiary of a Japanese anti-vibration parts manufacturer based in Saitama, Japan. Sumitomo Riko has a subsidiary in Saitama, TRI Saitama Ltd., which manufactures and sells various rubber products, according to the Sumitomo Riko website.
The reason for there being three settlement classes in the auto parts price fixing MDL, instead of one unified class, is simple, according to Eugene A. Spector, founding partner in the Philadelphia law firm of Spector, Roseman, Kodroff & Willis. Mr. Spector is interim co-counsel for the direct purchaser plaintiffs in the MDL.
The 1977 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Illinois Brick Co. v. Illinois, Mr. Spector said, established the doctrine that only direct purchasers of goods and services may recover damages from antitrust violators. Under Illinois Brick, only the auto makers have standing to sue the auto parts makers for alleged price fixing, he told Tire Business.
However, many states have antitrust laws that explicitly reject the Illinois Brick ruling and allow indirect purchasers to sue for antitrust damages. The website for Cuneo Gilbert & LaDuca L.L.P., the Washington, D.C., law firm that serves as interim co-counsel for the dealer class in the MDL, said it represents plaintiffs in 31 states and the District of Columbia in that action.
To date, the end-payor class in the MDL has obtained $172.1 million in settlements, according to Ms. Salzman. Jonathan W. Cuneo, founding partner in Cuneo Gilbert & LaDuca, said he didn't immediately have an exact figure on settlements for the dealer class, but estimated it in the $55 million range.
The website for Spector, Roseman, Kodroff & Willis P.C. said the direct purchaser class won approximately $50 million in its first three settlements.
There have been no jury verdicts in the MDL so far, according to Ms. Salzman. The next court dates, she said, are status conferences scheduled for Sept. 9, 2015, and Jan. 20, 2016.
No one should expect any quick resolution to the MDL, Mr. Spector said. "This is a very complex case, and it will continue for years."
Bridgestone and Toyo declined to comment to Tire Business on the MDL, saying they do not comment on current litigation.

André Lajoinie (born 29 December, 1929 in Chasteaux, Corrèze) is a French politician and a member of the French Communist Party (PCF).

He was a member of the French National Assembly for Allier from 1978 to 1993, then from 1997 to 2002, and was president of the Communist caucus in the Assembly from 1981 to 1993.  He was the deputy for Allier's 3rd constituency in the 6th, 7th, 9th and 11th legislatures, and one of four deputies from Allier in the 8th legislature.

A close collaborator of party leader Georges Marchais, he was chosen to be the PCF's candidate in the 1988 presidential election. A rather mediocre public speaker, Lajoinie proved to be an uncharismatic candidate, and was lampooned by humorists who caricatured him as a dimwit. His voting share of 6.8% was considered an unusually mediocre result for PCF standards. Lajoinie retired from active politics in 2002.

Loved every minute
Sister and mother/daughter relationships are complex. Jennifer captures the beauty and chaos very well. She also has a way of making even the most difficult characters lovable. While I think there were several loose ends that could have been explored a little more, overall I didn't want it to end.
smarty!!! , 06/07/2019
Truly a masterpiece
Mrs. Everything is the story of all women - you'll find some part of your own experience reflected here, whether you're gay, straight, white, brown, young or old, and I can't wait to book club the heck out of it!

Modest proposal in Berlin 2012
The Modest Proposal in Berlin – INET Conference, 13th April 2012
Currently, Europe is caught in a savage dilemma between the present policy of bailouts-with-austerity (which no one seriously expects to work) and the idea of resolving the Crisis through federal moves (e.g. a transfer union, jointly and severally guaranteed eurobonds) that Europe is not ready for and which would, in any case, be outpaced by the galloping Crisis.
Thankfully, this is a false dilemma. Below I present three policies that would swiftly ringfence Europe without debt monetisation by the ECB, without a Federal Treasury, without having the surplus countries guaranteeing the debt of the periphery, without further loss of sovereignty, without Treaty changes, and with only a rational re-assignment of Europe's existing institutions.
Policy 1: Dealing with the Debt Crisis
The ECB announces its Debt Conversion Program for any member-state that chooses to participate: It will service (as opposed to purchase) a portion of every maturing government bond corresponding to the member-state's Maastricht-Compliant (or blue) public debt (MCD hereafter).
To fund these redemptions, the ECB will issue its own bonds (ECB-bonds) in its own name, guaranteed solely by the ECB but repaid, in full, by the member-states (on whose behalf the ECB will have issued them). This is how: Upon the issue of ECB bonds, the ECB will simultaneously open a debit account per participating member-state into which the latter is legally bound to make deposits (to cover the ECB-bonds' coupons and principal).
Who will stand behind the ECB-bonds in the case of a defaulting member-state? First, the ECB debit accounts of each member-state shall enjoy super-seniority status vis-à-vis all its other debts. Secondly, the ESM-EFSF will insure, against a hard default, the repayments by each participating member-state into its ECB debit account. [3]
In summary, member-states will enjoy large-scale interest rate reductions (having refinanced their MCD at low rates secured by the ECB) while the ECB terminates both its government bond purchasing program and the LTRO. Instead of monetising debt, the ECB will have played the role of a go-between member-states and money markets, insured by the ESM-EFSF. Additionally, the ECB-bond issues will help create a large liquid market for European paper that advances the euro's reserve currency status.
Policy 2: Redressing low aggregate investment and internal imbalances
Europe is in urgent need of (a) higher aggregate investment and (b) investment flows that ameliorate its internal imbalance of payments. Both can be achieved through an Investment and Internal Imbalances Amelioration Program involving the European Investment Bank (EIB), the European Investment Fund (EIF) and the ECB: The EIB will focus on infrastructural projects (with an emphasis on green technologies), the EIF on start-ups and SMEs (with an emphasis on new technologies) and the ECB will be a funding partner via its ECB-bond program.
The Program's first task will be to untie the EIB-EIF's hands to invest more in aggregate by allowing for the national contribution to projects (currently set, by convention, to 50% of total funding) to be funded by a net-issue of ECB-bonds (following agreement between the EIB-EIF and ECB), rather than through national borrowing which is, currently, severely circumscribed.[4] Upon completion of such projects, resulting from the EIB-EIF-ECB collaboration, all net revenues are to be repaid directly 50% to the EIB-EIF and 50% to the ECB.
Concerning the second task, dealing with the Eurozone's internal imbalance of payments crisis, the distribution of investments among the Eurozone's regions (as opposed to member-states) may be calibrated, by means of a pre-agreed formula, in proportion to each region's balance of payments deficit within the Eurozone.
Policy 3: Dealing with the banking crisis
The Eurozone must be turned into a single banking area with a single authority that supervises directly and recapitalises the area's banks. To this purpose, existing national boundaries are to be dismantled, together with national supervisory authorities. The currently confederate European Banking Authority (EBA) is to be re-configured as a unitary agency with a board comprising officials drawn from member-states, plus representatives from the ECB and the ESM-EFSF.
With the ESM-EFSF now relieved of its task to fund the public debt of insolvent member-states (courtesy of Policy 1), the largest share of its capital is to be used for the purposes of direct bank recapitalisations.[5] These capital injections shall flow directly from the ESM-EFSF, under the supervision of the EBA and the ECB, to the banks but without mediation from the national governments and without these capital injections counting as part of national debt. In exchange, equity in the recapitalised banks is passed on to the ESM-EFSF which is then re-sold to the private sector when the EBA and ECB judge that banks have been sufficiently recapitalised.
Three crises, three policies for addressing them, each involving existing institutions and requiring no Treaty changes. In their totality, the three programs sketched above constitute nothing less than a New Deal for Europe, shifting idle savings into productive investments, dealing with the debt crisis, addressing the banking malaise and ameliorating the Eurozone's crippling internal imbalance of payments.

I have a confession. I am a lazy mom. I look for every way possible to simplify my life. Otherwise, I go crazy, and no one likes a crazy mom, believe me! When it comes to school lunches, I have always taken the easy route and just paid for school lunch rather than making it myself. At the end of last school year, my kids were begging me to make them homemade school lunches. I couldn't believe it! After all, when I was a kid, I felt like the luckiest kid ever if my mom let me buy school lunch. Guess I overdid it a little with my own. Anyway, this year, I decided to give the homemade school lunches a go and my kids are excited!
Include at least 4 items: I usually think healthy, salty, sweet, and a drink!
Use reusable fun containers. Think MINI! It's so much easier to include healthy foods, dips, sauces, etc. of you have little reusable containers to put them in. Have you ever tried to put ranch dressing in a plastic bag? Yeah, it doesn't work too well. I don't know about your kids, but mine are much more likely to eat fresh veggies if they have something to dip them in! We recently tried the Rubbermaid Lunch Blox for my 6th grader and she LOVED it! It was sitting on our counter for a week before school started and she was pretty anxious to start using it.
Lunch Blox Kits by Rubbermaid make packing lunches easy with their modular design. The cute little containers snap together in multiple ways with a thin ice block to boot!
I snapped a quick pic of my daughter's lunch before she ran out the door on the first day of school.
With all the Rubbermaid coontainers that we already use to store leftovers, adding the Rubbermaid Lunch Blox Kit to our collection was a no-brainer! So here's my challenge for the new school year: Try sending a homemade lunch with your kids this year! Keep it simple and keep it fun! For more info on Rubbermaid LunchBlox, you can visit their site here. Lunch Blox is BPA free and microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe!

Stella McCartney Teams Up With Adidas For Their Futureplayground Collection
by SHOWstudio on 15 January 2021
Welcome to the Stella McCartney x adidas Futureplayground, designed for the generation of tomorrow.
Taking inspiration from the environment while paying tribute to the generation of tomorrow, adidas and Stella McCartney have once again joined forces to release part one of the sub brand's S/S 21 capsule titled Futureplayground. The collection stays true to both brand's sustainable roots while featuring the activists of today that hope to make a difference for tomorrow.
We live in a time that has forced us to reconsider the world around us. COVID-19 has caused mass devastation but has also caused a cultural and environmental shift; finally allowing us to have the time to stop and breathe, listening to the nature we are often too used to overlooking. Considering this, the new S/S 21 Futureplayground collection couldn't have come at a better time. Adidas has always encouraged us to stay active, and now there's no excuse.
Stella McCartney has been partnering with adidas since 2005, making sure each collection she has designed for the sportswear label is reminiscent of her own approach towards her brand; designing with people and plant in mind. By making sure McCartney keeps sustainability at the core of everything she does, she helps pave the way for the next generation to look after the environment and create eco-friendly collections in similar ways.
With sustainability in mind, Futureplayground has been made from new developments and recycled materials such as Primeblue (a recycled material made with upcycled plastic waste) Primegreen (yarn made from 50% recycled materials) and a new adidas material that controls body temperature - designed with the aim of keeping next-gen athletes and activists dry and comfortable while they're on the move.
adidas by Stella McCartney is a global brand, we want to inspire and connect communities everywhere - Stella McCartney
What's exciting about Futureplayground is that for the first time, the full creative reins have been handed over to a set of three female directors and activists - all hoping to inspire and shape the world around them in their own way.
The first face of change behind the campaign is Monika Mogi who chose Yuri Hibon and Ren Hayakawa to star in the Japanese release. Both Hibon and Hayakawa have a passion for their surroundings; Hibon believes in organic and sustainable farming, and Hayawaka is an archer who believes in harnessing energy to push her performance. For the UK, filmmaker Netti Hurley has cast SHOWstudio contributor, model, mental health and BIPOC activist Georgia Moot and artist couple Calm and Violet.
And finally, for the American sector, director Ana Pollock has cast Madonna's daughter Lourdes 'Lola' Leon alongside creative Akili King to star as voices for inclusivity, community and female empowerment.
Key pieces from part one of the S/S 21 campaign and collection include a long, lightweight parka with adjustable details attached and made from a Primegreen material - rather helpful for those who are fashion conscious while working out. Another piece integral to the collection is the TruePurpose cycling tights - a proposed breathable fabric that supports all movement from twisting to stretching, skipping to running and lastly a running shoe in a Primeblue fabric; its neon-green colour will be sure to make you stand out in a crowd.
Stella McCartney said in a statement about the campaign:
'The cast and directors who brought this campaign to life are incredibly diverse in both their backgrounds and their beliefs. It was important for us to showcase a truly global point of view, because adidas by Stella McCartney is a global brand, we want to inspire and connect communities everywhere.
There's some really fresh and inspiring talent who feature in the campaign, from all corners of the globe – I love seeing how each individual is working to protect the planet or their community in their own way. From the UK, where we have collaborated with Calm and Violet, a couple living in London who are both artists and activists, sharing their love for each other and the bigger conversation about the beauty and joy of love. To Japan, where we've captured Yuri Hibon, who has a passion for sustainable farming and respecting our environment, which is an issue very close to my heart. Ren Hayakawa is also very special – an archery legend, who brought home Bronze in the 2008 Olympics for Japan. It goes without saying that I'm so happy to be working with Lourdes and Anna Pollack again, having seen their creativity shine through as they collaborated together as co-directors for the adidas by Stella McCartney A/W 20 campaign. Lourdes has always inspired me in the way she uses her choreography and dance as a medium to communicate her message.'

Why wait for summer to get your green on? Adding spices and cold-weather frutas and verduras, like grapefruit or beets and broccoli, make a healthy salad the perfect meal option.
"I love to feature bold, fresh flavors with herbs like cilantro, spices like cayenne pepper and fresh vegetables and fruits that are in season," says Michelle Rivas, health and wellness aficionado at The Healthy Latina. Try to be as colorful as possible when putting a salad together. The combination of fresh fruits and vegetables in a salad will keep you full from fiber, in addition to providing essential nutrients. "Don't be afraid to add a protein other than meat, like beans or nuts," says Rivas. "Make salads more filling with fiber from quinoa or multi-grain rice." For a dressing, Rivas always starts with a little olive oil for the flavor and the healthy fats. Aquí, some of Rivas' favorite recipes.
1. Cook quinoa in organic chicken broth, and add to a mix of fresh, chopped broccoli and kale.
2. Top with an organic garlic dressing, or Rivas' dressing recipe below.
1. In a large pot, set water to boil. Shuck the ears of corn and place in the pot with water. Do not salt the water because it will make the texture of the corn tough. Let boil for eight to 10 minutes.
2. While corn is cooking, open the can of black beans and strain the water out. Place in a large bowl and let sit. Dice the tomatoes into chunks and place in the bowl with the beans.
3. In a medium bowl, drizzle olive oil and toss skirt steak strips with salt and pepper. In a large pan, heat up a drizzle of olive oil and add the steak.
4. As the steak cooks, remove the ears of corn from the boiling water. "Shave" the kernels off with a knife and set aside.
5. For the dressing, loosely chop the cilantro and set aside. Juice the limes into a blender and add cilantro and a drizzle of olive oil. Blend the dressing until it is fully combined and the cilantro is very small.
6. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside. While the pan is still hot, toss the corn for extra flavor. For the final touch, slice an avocado and serve!
1. Whisk ingredients together and splash over a bed of baby kale and spinach.
2. Add cut-up orange slices, sliced raw almonds or pistachios, and your favorite vegetable medley.
Though millions make New Year resolutions to eat healthy and lose weight, it's not always easy when your body is craving postres. Fortunately, you can reach your goals and satisfy your sweet tooth. "With the popularity of gluten-free and the "Paleo diet," baking substitutes for flour, sugars, oils and dairy are easy to find at your local store," says Maribel Marmol, healthy food blogger at food 4 thought NYC.
Whole-wheat flour or coconut flour instead of all-purpose flour to increase your fiber intake, keeping you fuller longer.
Fruit, such as applesauce or crushed pineapple to replace the empty calories of refined sugars. These fruits pack in vitamins and minerals, while making cakes and cookies moist and flavorful.
Greek yogurt in place of sour cream, whole milk or cream cheese. This ingredient has the added benefit of calcium and protein without the high calories.
Prepare ingredients and grease 8"x4"x2.5" loaf pan for bread. This step can be done one or two days before. Preheat oven to 325 F. Combine all the dry ingredients in one bowl and all the wet ingredients in another bowl. Add the wet to the dry and mix well. The batter will be thick by the time you're done. Add batter to a greased loaf pan and place in heated oven. Bake for about 40 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Let the bread cool completely before removing it from the pan. *Note: Since this is gluten-free bread, the loaf will not rise like regular wheat-based breads. Doesn't make it any less tasty, but you should have a heads up! Heat a small saucepan or frying pan over low to medium heat. Add sliced peaches, spices, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir until the peaches start to disintegrate and the juices are bubbling. Remove from heat. Cut thick slices of cooled coconut flax bread. Mix French toast ingredients in a shallow bowl. Add bread slices and cover with mixture on all sides. Allow it to soak while heating a medium frying pan with coconut oil over medium heat. Once hot, add up to three slices to the pan with tongs. Cook on each side for 3-4 minutes or until slightly browned. Arrange toast slices on a plate, top with peaches, syrup and yogurt. Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top. Serve!
Preheat oven to 350 F. Add butter to an eight-inch cake pan and place in oven. Once melted, swirl butter to coat the bottom and sides of the pan and set aside. Whisk all the dry ingredients in one bowl (coconut flour, almond flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, salt). In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix the wet ingredients (coconut oil, eggs, honey, vanilla) together thoroughly. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients along with the Greek yogurt and mix well, creating a thick batter. Sprinkle the coconut flour into the pan over the butter and drizzle with honey. Place the sliced strawberries along the bottom of the pan in a single layer. Scoop the batter over the strawberries and level out with a spatula. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until a tester comes out clean from the center. Remove and allow it to cool for 15 minutes before flipping the cake out onto a serving plate.
Is "Sugar-Free" a Danger to Your Health?
For many working toward weight-loss goals, choosing sugar-free foods and drinks would seem right. But did you know that anything labeled "diet" is loaded with artificial sweeteners, which have the potential to do more harm than good? "The only benefit to 'sugar-free' food is if it is really devoid of both sugar and artificial sugar," says Dr. Zina Kroner, who practices at Advanced Medicine of New York, PLLC. Here, why sugar-free shouldn't be a staple in any diet.
A Dangerous Diet Tool: Reaching for a diet soda or sugar-free cookie can actually have the opposite effect when you're trying to lose weight. "One will gain weight on artificial sugars made in a lab, as they can worsen insulin resistance," says Dr. Kroner. Insulin resistance can contribute to serious health concerns, including obesity.
Alternate Options: If you're still looking for a secret ingredient for weight loss, Dr. Kroner recommends stevia, a plant that has been around for 1,500 years and is considered the safest sugar alternative. Stevia can be used to sweeten recipes such as hot cocoa, banana bread and chocolate chip cookies -- without harmful side effects. Or, try foods made with healthier sweet ingredients such as Greek yogurt, applesauce or honey. For soda junkies out there, the safer alternative is regular -- in moderation. Or, try flavored water or flavored seltzer for a sweet, carbonated kick.
Keeping your cocina stocked with fresh foods is a great way to ensure a healthy diet for la familia. But a big shopping trip can become messy if you forget what you bought. Avoid wasting comida and dinero by properly storing all your food items, with tips from the National Center for Home Food Preservation.
A stocked refrigerator can be a blessing, but "it's a good idea for people to think about air flow and make sure they can see that air will be able to circulate," says Kasey Christian, a spokesperson with the NCHFP team. Avoid overcrowding by cleaning out the refrigerator regularly. A full freezer, on the other hand, is more energy efficient than a partially filled one. To stay organized, Christian recommends keeping a list of what you put in and when it was packaged. When shopping, note "sell by" and "use by" dates.
Storing Hierbas: Dried herbs and spices should be stored in airtight containers, in a dry space away from heat or light (think: clean cupboard). Herbs stored in the cupboard can be kept for one to two years, according to the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension.
Fresh herbs require more maintenance to last. Herbs such as basil and cilantro can be stored for up to a week on a table or countertop, in a glass with about one inch of water. Be sure to trim the ends before placing in the glass. Herbs can also be wrapped in a moist paper towel and stored in a re-sealable bag. Different herbs need different levels of moisture: cilantro and parsley need more, while herbs such as rosemary and thyme need less.
Storing Verduras: Most fresh vegetables should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer within an hour of purchasing at the grocery store, with the exception of veggies such as sweet potato, tomatoes and onions. Colorado State University provides the following guidelines for storing commonly consumed vegetables in the refrigerator.
Storing Fruta: Most fruits can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer, with the exception of apples, avocados and bananas. Peaches, nectarines, pears and plums should ripen at room temperature before refrigerating. Check all fruit before refrigerating to make sure there isn't any mold (or remove any moldy pieces) to prevent spreading.
Storing Carnes: Meats are the most important food to refrigerate or freeze immediately after purchasing: They should never be left out for more than 1-2 two hours. When storing meat in the freezer for longer than two weeks, take it out of its original packaging and store in a freezer storage bag.
A Valentine's date doesn't necessarily mean fancy dinners or expensive gifts. This year, get creative and think outside the chocolate box. "Stay home and celebrate by bringing the outside in," says Lisa Velazquez, a love coach and founder of Lisa Talks Love. Velazquez shares her top ideas for bringing out the romance on Valentine's Day -- and every day.
Involve the Kids: Before your romantic date, get the whole family involved in celebrating. "Teach kids to express their love in healthy, creative ways," says Velazquez. Plan a Valentine's Day breakfast and pass out tokens, such as flowers, to each other. Make your child his or her favorite individual meal. Share the reasons you're thankful for your kids, and help them to do the same for you.


More than 50 public health experts and nicotine experts, including five Canadians, are urging the World Health Organization not to classify e-cigarettes as tobacco products, because they say doing so could jeopardize a "significant health innovation" that could save hundreds of millions of lives.
In an open letter to WHO Director General Margaret Chan, the scientists from Europe, North America, Asia and Australia argue e-cigarettes are "part of the solution" in the fight against smoking.
"These products could be among the most significant health innovations of the 21st century — perhaps saving hundreds of millions of lives. The urge to control and suppress them as tobacco products should be resisted," the experts wrote.
The UN health agency seems to view e-cigarettes as a "threat" that should be classified like regular cigarettes, according to leaked documents from a meeting last November.
David Sweanor, a law professor at the University of Ottawa, who works on tobacco control, is one of the signatories.
"We're here to try to get rid of cigarettes, we're here to try to make cigarettes obsolete and we have the potential with technology to start to do that, and that would be one of the biggest breakthroughs we've ever had in public health," Sweanor said in an interview.
Sweanor and the other writers refer to "tobacco harm reduction" — the idea that 1.3 billion people worldwide who smoke could do much less harm to their health if they consumed nicotine in a low-risk, non-combustible form, given that the majority of harmful effects attributed to tobacco arises from tar and toxic gases drawn into the lungs.
So far, research shows overwhelmingly that e-cigarettes are used by people who want to quit smoking, Sweanor said. There's little evidence e-cigarettes are used by young people to start smoking, although that is a risk, he said.
Nova Scotia plans to introduce legislation in the fall to ban the sale of e-cigarettes to those under the age of 19.
Health Canada continues to advise against the use of e-cigarettes.
"Currently, the advertisement and sale of electronic cigarette products, including e-liquid, that contain nicotine and/or have health claims is non-compliant with the Food and Drugs Act., and is therefore illegal," a spokesman for Health Canada said in an email.
Health Canada has sent cease and desist orders to sellers of e-cigarettes, mostly because people have been making health claims, said Tony Carver, owner of Evape Electronic Cigarette in Newmarket, Ont.
Carver said the scientists' letter gives him hope.
The writers of the letter say they wanted to get their message out now given that the WHO is set to review its tobacco recommendations in Moscow from Oct. 13 to 18.
I had my second heart attach in June. I was a pack a day cigarette smoker. I bought a e-cigarette after that and was able to quit reguler smokes. I have sugar and high colestrol my numbers are now great because i no longer restict my blood vesels with tar and nicatine the e-cigarette has been a blessing to me.
