Throughout its long mining history, Pittston saw its share of the tragedy and disaster inherent in anthracite coal mining. The Twin Shaft disaster of 1896 left 58 men dead yet it was not enough to kill the area's top industry. That event would come 63 years later in 1959 with the Knox Mine Disaster.
On January 22, 1959, the ice-laden Susquehanna River broke through the roof of the River Slope Mine of the Knox Coal Company in nearby Port Griffith in Jenkins Township. This allowed for billions of gallons of river water to flood the interconnected mines through a whirlpool nearly 200 feet wide. It took three days to plug the hole in the riverbed, which was done by dumping large railroad cars, smaller mine cars, culm, and other debris into the whirlpool formed by the water draining into the mine.
Sixty-nine miners escaped; twelve miners died and their bodies were never recovered. The heroic efforts of one miner, Myron Thomas of Taylor, led twenty-six miners to safety. Another group of six men was led by Pacifico "Joe" Stella of Pittston. Amedeo Pancotti was part of the second group, and for his remarkable climb out of the Eagle Air Shaft (the only exit available) to the surface, he was awarded the Carnegie Medal for Heroism from the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission.
Though less deadly than the Twin Shaft Collapse, the Knox Mine Disaster effectively killed anthracite coal mining in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Despite the end of coal mining in the area, Pittston was by no means dependent solely on anthracite. Besides mining anthracite coal, Pittston was also home to many industries in the 19th and 20th centuries, including metals, plastics, paper products, apparel, electrical equipment and beverages. The Pittston Stove Company, established in 1864, manufactured coal and wood-burning stoves for heating and cooking. The Pittston Brewing Company, brewers of Glennon's Beer, maintained operations in Pittston from 1873 until 1948. Evan R. Jones Stoneware crafted pottery which bore the Pittston name in the 1870s and 1880s.
From the 1930s to the 1980s, Pittston City emerged as a national center for clothing manufacturing. Thousands of workers, mainly women, labored in many factories throughout the Greater Pittston area. One such woman was Susan Sebastianelli of Pittston Township. Most were members of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU). They fought for higher wages, workplace health & safety improvements, and employee rights. The ILGWU was active in civic and political life throughout Pennsylvania.

Privacy in the Metaverse
Jan 3, 2022 | Marketing, Privacy
It's inevitable that the metaverse will be the number one social network in the world.
— Michael Gord, Metaverse Group Co-Founder
"It wasn't that long ago that the metaverse concept didn't exist outside of science fiction books," says WireWheel CPO Rick Buck. "The term is often associated with Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash or Ernest Klein's Ready Player One. But the metaverse is far from science fiction. It's here today and it has captured significant interest in the investment community.
"It's a new channel, a new technology, a new industry, with enormous potential. But, if we think of the Metaverse as an extension of the Internet, then we also need to think about the problems and issues that we're dealing with on the Internet: challenges that can be exacerbated in this new metaverse world."
An expert panel gathered to discuss the metaverse from both a privacy and investment perspective during the Fall Spokes Privacy Technology Conference. Jennifer Vancini, General Partner, Mighty Capital; Christy Steele, Principal, Sands Capital; and Jeremy Greenberg, Privacy Counsel, Future of Privacy Forum joined WireWheel CPO, Rick Buck for Privacy in the Metaverse: What You Need to Know Today.
Is the metaverse big enough for new entrants?
It is really a matter of how many users you have on your platform. How much engagement do you have? While there is a high costs to build this type of platform and retain users, at the same time the reverse is true. There are very low switching costs for users who will sign up very quickly for a new platform to give it a try.
— Christy Steele, Sands Capital
"It comes down to the company's model" says Mighty Capital's Vancini. The fundamentals apply: "What's unique about the team in terms of achieving what they want to achieve? Are they best of breed of something that they're doing that will contribute to this metaverse?"
"We look closely at dependencies on APIs. What is the likelihood that they're very dependent on one particular giant and the risk that…they decided to cut access or frequently change what that API looks like? What is that company's ecosystem strategy? I want to see you're covering 50 to 100 different things so that you have different areas to grow in different areas to exit and got acquired."
"The user experience and the quality or the diversity of experiences the user can have is really important," opines Steele. "We've seen platforms build incredible user bases very, very quickly, but that doesn't mean it will last. We look for tools that work across a multitude of platforms that will empower users and businesses across multiple – and any new platforms – that exist."
Conversely, "there may be advantages to the small nimble newcomer. Particularly those with a highly specific focus that draw users," offers Steele. An associated risk, however, warns Vancini, is that "if you're too specialized, the company looks more like a feature than a full product" and it is "way too easy for the big players to replicate it."
"Privacy is one area where they can maybe have a leg up because it's a very specific context for why they're communicating with you. Continuing to offer additional value in an ongoing relationship."
"A lot of the concerns involving privacy relate to the scale of data being collected, a lot of it being sensitive," says Greenberg, noting that "studies have shown that 20 minutes of VR can generate up to 2 million unique data elements related to an individual. And that's just virtual reality. If you have a metaverse that's integrating a number of technologies – VR, augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR) – all of these different sensors are potentially collecting vast amounts of sensitive data relating to the human body and unique to the individual."
The privacy risks are then magnified when decisions are made, based on the collection of this data. In the '2D' web, information is collected to build a user profile that decides which content to serve or not serve a user. Which experiences they will have or not. This can cause things like filter bubbles and create all sorts of divisions politically or culturally.
But in a 3D environment, those decisions are not just online or on your mobile device. They're potentially happening to the world around you that you're walking through and experiencing.
— Jeremy Greenberg, Future of Privacy Forum
Importantly, as Greenberg warns, "a lot of this technology is going to be used in public, so there are all sorts of questions about transparency and control over data collection of bystanders who might come into contact with someone using this technology." The implications of this are both complex and profound
Does it feel sort of icky?
As Vancini rightly points out, "knowing past history, there's a little bit of suspicion around the metaverse along with the excitement and curiosity. We know it's about advertising dollars. However, it's too early to know what the value of this data in this advertising will be."
In terms of diligence –with every company that's dealing with consumer data – the first test is simply 'How does this feel as a potential user or consumer of the product or platform?'
Does it feel sort of icky or inappropriate? You don't want to be involved in that type of product or platform.
"It's also important with the founding team," continues Steele, "to get a sense that they are aware of the privacy challenges and understand that this will be an evolving challenge. They need to be as transparent as possible with their users about what they're collecting and how they're using it.
"I think the transparency and control element of this piece is really important," says Greenberg. "Of course, the onus falls on the user. Granular controls can be great but can also be overwhelming. It is really important to think about some current privacy-enhancing technologies or techniques and mapping them to this 3D space."
"Just having a privacy-first mindset is very helpful," offers Vancini. "There's certainly the opportunity for business models around privacy as part of the product value that you're giving the consumer or the organization.
What is Government's role?
The beginning of wisdom is the definition of terms.
As Greenberg notes, legislation right now is "an uphill battle." But in terms of the metaverse – involving all these different technologies – "we don't know what it's going to exactly look like. We don't know what tech it's really going to entail.
"When we talk about things like virtual reality there's more or less consensus over what that is, but we don't have standardized definitions.
Just really thinking about the definitions we have today – biometric data is often defined based on the ability to identify a user – the privacy risks in the metaverse…also concerns the inferences you can draw from the collection of this biometric data, [such as] my psychology based on eye-tracking data, for example.
Rethinking some of the definitions we have out there is really just a first step.
Vancini calls out that "these are clearly difficult areas because what's the balance between the government, the oligopolies, and monopolies and then the end-users? It's impossible to say it's really a free market in terms of the content being served up to us. Our metaverse has come down to a very tiny microverse and there are risks inherent in that."
As Steele notes, "we all have a vision in our minds, whether it's from Snow Crash or Ready Player One of this virtual world that we're living in all the time. I think, in reality, the way that we look at it as it stands, is that there's this continuous overlapping of our physical world and digital world that gets a little bit more augmented where we're continually uploading and downloading more information from the virtual world."
It is human nature that we overestimate what we can do in the short-term and underestimate how much can be done. In the long term. Three years from now, maybe we'll see a couple of breakout cases and disruption that are super interesting. 10 years from now we'll be talking about a completely different set of companies.
So let's just say some of the mega giants we know today could be the Yahoos of tomorrow.
— Jennifer Vancini
Greenberg predicts that in the short term the " metaverse is going to be really idiosyncratic." And 10 years from now "you're going to have broad adoption…Folks who haven't heard of any of this today are going to be participants…We are going to move between physical and digital worlds seamlessly. To the point where we might not even be cognizant that we're doing so."
WireWheel's Buck closes plaintively: "Let's hope that evolves into a utopian versus dystopian world."

The issue of compliance in the food industry is increasingly becoming more complex as public health is a critical issue. We also know that the consumer is increasingly becoming more savvy. Balancing this against an increasing frequency of litigation for non-compliances that affect consumers, companies need to be highly organised to mitigate this risk.
It is highly unlikely that there will be one single manual on the do's and don'ts for such a large industry and long value chain. This document, in the interests of being easily usable, only contains the more pertinent and "in your face "issues that you should be aware of to at least enter the industry. Surviving is another game altogether – remember my first hint? This manual does not contain ALL you need to know but some of the more CRITICAL things you need to know.


I notice that most people starting with programming get lost in the basics of understanding variables, functions, conditional evaluations, lists, loops, objects, user interface components, and other basic ideas like concatenation, saving data to some form of persistent storage, or even just setting up a working environment and running code.
This one is meant to be a really quick read, consumable in one sitting. The fast pace is intended to get users through all the concepts without too much detail, so that a functional overview, and some encouraging practical understanding can be achieved quickly.
I updated the text today with a bunch of my existing little example programs, simplified and explained in the context of this tutorial. I think it should still take an hour or less to read (38 printed pages).
I made some final edits to this text tonight. This should be the last version, until I get a chance to make an R3 version.
Hmm, guess I lied - I cleaned up a few sections this morning.
This is quickly becoming my favorite text. It covers not only enough practical Rebol code to thoroughly understand 20 varied apps, it also covers all the basic programming concepts which absolutely new coders need to know to start building useful programs, in about an hour. It shows off Rebol's ability to dramatically simplify common goals, with enough general context to compare how similar ideas are handled in other languages and tool sets. In 46 pages, it provides a real basis to understand all the general fundamental concepts of writing code, to actually creating a bunch of useful apps with Rebol.
Rebol had a heyday around 2004, and then lost most of its community about 5 years ago, when Rebol's creator Carl Sassenrath completely disappeared and abandoned supporting Rebol for more than a year. At that time, the only available version of Rebol was a closed source commercial product which absolutely required Carl's presence. Professional developers weren't going to base their livelihoods on a closed source development tool which had no reliable support, so only a small community continued to work with Rebol.
Then, about a year ago Carl released Rebol version 3 as an open source project, and interest in Rebol spiked. R3 was not as mature - actually not even fully operational - it didn't even have a working GUI dialect at the time. But a group called Saphirion, and in particular one capable developer named Cyphre, has been working on it, releasing a version for Android with GUI and graphic support, and the community has seen some growth. New 32 and 64 bit versions of R3 for Linux are being developed and used commercially by a company named Atronix, and they are working with Saphirion to release versions for the community.
A new open source project called Red has also been built by another of the community's most talented developers Nenad Rakocevic ("Doc Kimbel"). Doc has been working on Red full time for more than 2 years (even before the release of R3), and its future looks extremely encouraging. Red is still in an alpha state, but its features and capabilities will likely outpace those of R3 sometime this year. Red is a compiler (as opposed to an interpreter like R3), so it's performance will be suitable for work beyond the scope which Rebol was designed to handle.
The number of visitors to my Rebol web sites has nearly tripled during the last year, so I expect that the community is growing. It will likely take a while for new developers to catch on and start using it for commercial work, contributing useful tools to R3 and Red, but that is already happening (there was an interesting 3D demo for Red released this week). And now that R3 and Red are entirely open source, with practical licenses (Apache II for R3 and BSD for Red), I doubt it will ever dry up and go away.
I came across a book on Rebol in the library of my university, and were fanscinated by it. I had worked with Perl for a while, and learnt the basics of C, Basic and a few other languages. But Rebol is different, it is amazingly simple to use and easy to learn. A few lines will be sufficient for almost anything I need. So I decided that I should learn it, no matter how busy I am with my work. But I soon became disappointed: no body around me seemed to know this language even if they were quite experienced programmers. I found no tutorial to follow and most online forums were dead long before. I wondered whether I should give it up.
I have looked for a while and found this forum. Since then, I come to visit almost daily, to see the new posts and to ask questions that trouble me. To my great pleasure, there are always new posts, and all my questions got answered soon. I then decide I should stick to this language.
I followed some of the tutorials by Nick, and found them handy and easy to follow. Right now I am still a newbie, but I hope one day I can make some nice softwares which can facilitate my work.
By the way, I think that it is vital for a language community to have a few open source projects which can fulfill the needs of some specific professions. For instance, there are some good toolkits for my field in Java, so learning Java became extremely inviting for me and my colleagues. This is where Rebol is extremely good at: its ability with dialects makes it easy to create mini-languages for those fields. I think this WILL make Rebol more and more popular.
ty for all the input and background on the language Rebol. I am more than a bit impressed with the response I got from my simple inquiry , which leads me to believe at this point , at least here in this forum it is a well supported Rebol community, though small it is active, which is fine , small is sometimes much better than large, in attention.
post specific questions about the work you're interested in >>> I will try and explain.
1)I want to make a website that is more functional than some info ad, or blog. I want to add forms for me, and email forms out to another, drop info into a form from a drop down menu. I want to be be able to draw info from a email, drop it in a form sort it , key on certain info and list it. I want to make it accessible from anywhere, securely.
2) I want to make scripts that execute software on my computer the way I want it done, reported and sorted the way I want it done, monitor ports, and buses the way I want it done, sorta like Linux does with all the crons and bash scripting, but do it in windows 8 . I once done something of its like in VB script, but again, I do not want to learn 10 different languages to do 10 different things. beside the VB things was a cut and paste someone else work , I want to be able to do it and do it with a nice GUI that I wrote.
3)my final goal to this is to be proficient and like the language I am working with. Comfortable is a good word, so I move forward into an area of programming I hope to accomplish before I am to old to do it, and that is robotic programming. I would like to take a basic input and output control chip and write code for it to make it do functions I programmed into it, this is my final and long term goal. This may never happen but that is what the final golden fleece in the end. I am halve way though my term here in life so , it may never happen before my term is up, but one can dream.
lets start with my site first...lol I just downloaded the Rebol inter and put the Linux version of Rebol in the CGI area of my new web site (x10hosting.com, is the provider) then I loaded the pc version for testing and that is as far as I got, I could not get the NOW.TXT file to work at all on the my PC, so I will pick it up and try again tomorrow. My goal here is just to see if I can make it work on my pc and then on the web site.
hey Rex > everyone in the computer world has skype, or something like it, the world is a small place now days.
2.Click the "Console" button in the Rebol program.
3.Type or paste your code (text) at the flashing command prompt.
I then type in code and get errors.
** Near: alert "Hello World"
I must be missing something simple, so starts my first question, what am I doing wrong?
Right click and "Run as Administrator" to install.
ahh , that would explain it, I thought it would work just like the python inter and it does. I just loaded it and it works fine. Now to start learning the language...thanks.
By the way Nick do you have Skype or something like it?
Yep, I do lessons with videoconferencing and shared desktop.
It's got an Apache server with Rebol CGI all set up and ready to go.
Notice that the program above creates a C:\sitebuilder\ folder. Use the server_start.bat and server_stop.bat files in that folder to start and stop the Apache server.

Pall-Ex Italia Marks 10th Anniversary With Record Turnover.
on: July 04, 2019 In: Featured, Round The World
Pall-Ex is celebrating 10 years of its European operation thanks to Pall-Ex Italia, which has achieved record annual turnover, and strong double-digit growth, year-on-year since 2012.
The logistics giant has been instrumental in establishing the pallet distribution model within Italy, after selecting the country as its first location for European expansion a decade ago.
It has also played a key role in supporting Pall-Ex's European growth, as the company now operates networks across eight countries in mainland Europe.
Pall-Ex Italia now moves around nearly two million pallets annually, with thousands of pallets passing through its eight hubs every night – a huge increase from the 160 pallets it handled on its first night of operation.
Hub locations include major cities such as Milan, Bologna, Florence, Ancona and Naples, and cover a total of 25,000 square metres.
As a pallet network, Pall-Ex Italia relies on its members – established local hauliers – to deliver freight and now has four times the number of members it launched with.
Anand Assi, International Development Director, comments: "Pall-Ex Italia became our first network in mainland Europe in 2009 and has been pivotal in establishing Pall-Ex internationally; we now have over 450 members across Europe who work with us to improve efficiency across the continent.
"We have also introduced a new distribution model to Italy, which has become the preferred distribution of choice for customers wanting the best value, highest quality and most reliable delivery.
"The network volume growth Pall-Ex Italia has seen over the last 10 years demonstrates the local need for hub-and-spoke distribution. The benefits to the local market have been huge, increasing flexibility and visibility for the customer, while reducing the number of vehicles on the road."
Giovanni Pallastrelli, International Director for Pall-Ex Italia, comments: "From the very beginning we wanted to create a new business model in Italy, which incorporated members working together to share objectives and operate as a single entity.
"Pall-Ex Italia has made a major contribution to changing the old industry model: hundreds of small couriers, who used to fight for custom with a limited range of action, are now part of a bigger and centralised system. This system has been created by the couriers themselves and they have had the vision and capability to transform themselves into a new entity.
"I would say that the pallet model is well established now in Italy, in fact, 10 years ago customers expected to receive a price based on the weight of the shipment, now it is natural for them to request a per pallet price.
"However, the biggest success has been establishing the great reputation of the network. We are now considered one of the top players on the market for quality, high performance, reliability and safety of goods. The increase we have seen in both pallet volumes and the number of members is testament to this."
Pall-Ex Group was formed by renowned entrepreneur Hilary Devey CBE in 1996 and is an award-winning network of quality hauliers, which collaborate to deliver leading palletised freight distribution services throughout the UK, Europe and beyond. With its headquarters and central UK hub located right at the heart of the Midlands in Ellistown, Pall-Ex has grown phenomenally since its inception in 1996.

IMMOFINANZ opens repositioned VIVO! Bratislava
IMMOFINANZ has successfully completed the repositioning and modernisation of its VIVO! Bratislava shopping center. After a renovation period of nearly 12 months during full operations, the opening of the new shops was celebrated on November 7, 2019.
The VIVO! Bratislava now has 170 specialty shops on 36,000 sq m of rentable space, with many new tenants adding to the shopping experience for the entire family.
The food retailer Lidl and the fashion retailer LPP Group have joined as anchor tenants, and the overall offering has been increased by 20 new brands including, for example, Reserved, Mohito, House, Cropp and Sinsay.
IMMOFINANZ has invested roughly EUR 25 million in the modernisation and renovation of the facility, which previously operated as the Polus City Center in Bratislava.
This project covered the modernisation of 15,000 sq m of rentable space previously occupied by a supermarket and the relocation of an attractive mix of various retailers into the resulting shops. The repositioning involved the redesign of exterior and interior areas, including the facade and lighting concept, improved parking, quiet zones, the installation of numerous escalators and the introduction of a new culinary concept – the so-called "VIVO! Market", which expands the shopping center's gastronomic services.
"Our shopping center was the first modern shopping and entertainment center in Bratislava. With the modernisation and integration in our successful VIVO! brand, we have created a lasting and attractive profile for the location and a more welcoming atmosphere for the entire family. VIVO! stands for shopping with a special experience as well as strong anchor tenants and an attractive branch mix of international and local retailers", explained Dietmar Reindl, COO of IMMOFINANZ, at the opening festivities. He also anticipates a substantial increase in the number of visitors: "Based on the more flexible opening hours in Slovakia, we expect numerous visitors from neighbouring Austria on Sundays and holidays". The repositioning and attractive tenant mix have already been reflected in an increase of 35% in the number of visitors since the beginning of September.
On VIVO!
VIVO! is IMMOFINANZ's shopping center brand. It was designed for cities with a catchment area of at least 200,000 residents. The VIVO! shopping centers are characterised by an attractive retail mix with strong anchor tenants and a family-friendly atmosphere. The VIVO! portfolio currently includes ten shopping centers with approximately 306,000 sq m of rentable space: four in Poland, four in Romania and one each in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. At the end of June 2019, the portfolio had a book value of EUR 674.1 million and a gross return of 8.2%.

Diplomatic career
A career diplomat serving as Egypt's first Ambassador To Nelson Mandela's South Africa and before it Czechoslovakia during its peaceful separation to the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Khattab ended her diplomatic career as Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs for International Cultural Relations.
Ministerial career
In 1999, Moushira Khattab shifted to the sphere of defending Women and Children's rights as Secretary General of the National Council for Childhood and Motherhood (NCCM). The success of NCCM was crowned by its transformation into the Ministry of Family and Population and the appointment of Moushira Khattab as Minister. Since 1999, she has engineered a paradigm shift in the respect, protection, promotion & monitoring the implementation of the rights of women and children in Egypt. Ambassador Khattab coordinated national efforts targeting the elimination of all forms of discrimination and violence against children with special emphasis on girls. Combatting gender based violence including female genital mutilation (FGM) and child marriage are some of the achievements engineered by Moushira Khattab with heavy involvement of civil society.
From March 2009 until February 2011 Khattab served as Minister of State for Family and Population of Egypt. She also holds the position of Vice-President of the International Bureau for Children's Rights "IBCR". Khattab represents the MENA Region on the Board of Child Helpline International and Chairs both the National Committee & the steering Committee of Middle East & North Africa on Violence against Children. Khattab served as Vice Chair, Rapporteur and member of UN Committee on the Rights of the Child 2002–2010. She is also a member in several associations such as the Women Leadership Council to combat trafficking in persons including children, UNGIFT- Vienna 2008. She Chaired the ad hoc UN intergovernmental expert group that formulated the UN Guidelines on Justice Matters related to children victims and witnesses to Crime adopted by ECOSOC in 2005.
Moushira Khattab is Vice president of "Aflatoun Child Savings International" (Amsterdam) and is a regular lecturer on children's rights to police officers, judges, women organizations and the media.Khattab coordinated, in close collaboration with civil society, the formulation of key national policy documents including national strategies for the protection, rehabilitation and reintegration of street children, the elimination of Child Labor, and combatting violence against children. Key action plans were formulated including that on Girls' Education, and Combatting Violence against Children, an "Egypt Fit for Children", Rights Based Tracking of Public Budgeting for Children (for the first time ever in Egypt), and the National Survey on Street Children.
This was brought about through a number of interventions including the Girl's Education Initiative, providing quality active learning to poorer and marginalized girls; adolescents' reproductive rights and combatting child labor and child abuse and neglect. She initiated, led and coordinated a national movement to support the most comprehensive rights based legal reform for children; crowned by the adoption of Law 126 in 2008 bringing Child Law in closer harmony with the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The amended law criminalized trafficking in children, FGM, and most forms of violence and discrimination. It raised the minimum age for criminal responsibility from 7 to 12 years establishing a new system of child protection including a restorative juvenile justice system. As a Muslim woman she played an instrumental role in bringing Muslim countries together to support the global movement for the rights of children and women and adopting a human rights approach. A highlight of such efforts is the conference she organized in Cairo in 2009 in cooperation with the Organisation of Islamic States on Islamic Shariaa and the rights of the Child.
Since obtaining her doctorate degree and retiring from diplomatic and public life, Ambassador Khattab has been a regular contributor to several renowned academic and research institutions worldwide.
