'London Ear' is a simple melody written with Steve's sound and inflection in mind. Originally, I thought it would be just Steve and the rhythm section but when I played the opening figure of the accompaniment on the piano I heard the trombones going in opposite directions. So I orchestrated it for low brass and one low (lone) ranging saxophone (I run out of trombones) and skipped the piano playing.
'Filles de Kilimanjaro' is all about the spaces happening between the phrases. Traditionally, you'd create momentum with a chord cycle implying tension and resolution contours. Here though, the melodies and the silences move the music along without the strictures of a fixed length. It's more like feeling the pulse. It's like breathing in and out. On Miles' original recording from 1968 Herbie Hancock improvises an accompaniment to an imaginary solo. I always loved that bit on the record. When it came to playing the piece with my band I pretended that this was all part of the melody. Essentially, I looked to take in the original texture as much as possible and to envelop all this in a new timbre.
'Slow is the Colour of Love' has melodies simultaneously that happen with irregularity and tentative-ness, without being led by anyone in particular, only getting assured eventually, when things simplify, lighten and open up for improvising. It's a through-composed piece, unfolding slowly and without repetitions. 'I believe in happiness but not that it lasts' says Michelangelo Antonioni. I hope things aren't already decided.
'Braving the Elements' first of all was about football in the winter season (here in England we say the league isn't won in September). Formally, the piece is inspired by Thelonious Monk's 'Epistrophy' a masterpiece of musical economy. I don't remember any verbal communication with Steve about how to play on the piece; he knew what the piece was supposed to be immediately, he knew where to find it and then he took it elsewhere!
'Blame it on my Youth' is an old standard, which I first heard on a Keith Jarrett trio record. I learnt the melody first, then took it out of the 32bar context and composed a completely new background for it. I ended up needing only one chorus, and just a little cadenza at the end, which Claus delivered beautifully. This arrangement is dedicated to Mike Gibbs.
'Blinks' is so Steve! It is basically just a little intro and an 8bar stanza-like figure but there is so much music to it. The possibilities are endless. ('We can do a lot of blinking' he said.) I composed 12 small fragmentary variations, which are cued in and thrown in among the duet – ing of him with Gene. He had sent me a lead sheet through the post before. It had a picture of Edward 'Kid' Ory on it.
'The Touch of your Lips' stays within song form, with its beautiful original melody by Ray Noble. I completed the arrangement at a time when an old cassette of Shostakovich's piano preludes and fugues was stuck in the tape machine in the kitchen, so you hear the odd harmonic interference (I started in Bb and ended up in E) but I think the overall feel is ballad, pure and simple.
'Home' is based on this little idea I had that whenever I change a root note I don't change the upper structure of melody and harmony, and vice versa. So I bumped into this 18 bar sequence. I wrote it on my father's piano, which seems a lot brighter and still somewhat cooler than mine here in London. The piece starts off with a magnificent Mike Williams solo, then has the whole band playing a composed improvisation, and finishes with the vibrant soul mate Claus.
'Marshmallow' is a line by Warne Marsh, based on the song 'Cherokee'. I have always been massively into the Tristano thing; it was one of the first jazz I heard and got truly hooked on. I love the way the bar lines disappear. This arrangement is pretty straight - forward, except for the last chorus when one half of the horns start chasing the other half.
'Filles de Kilimanjaro' (reprise) was the first thing we did in the studio. Normal procedure for me used to be to do a take and then another one for safety or simply for choice. I had no idea that Steve would turn the second take into a completely new piece, leaving me with no safe choice but to include it among the other pieces.
An increasingly significant figure on the UK scene over recent years, young composer/player Koller occupies the piano chair in Mike Gibbs' occasional big-band appearances and is currently director of Jazz Composition at the Birmingham Conservatoire - and he was an inspired guide to the old London Vortex club's Sunday night open-jam sessions until the original venue's closure.
Koller's work for big ensembles probably displays his formidable vision most effectively, since in that context he sounds on the way to becoming a descendent of the post Gil Evans school of orchestral writing - to eventually rival Maria Schneider or even Carla Bley. This disc explores Koller's effervescent piano-playing in classic trio circumstances, with the hard-driving support of bassist Dave Whitford and drummer Gene Calderazzo.
The repertoire includes Herbie Nichols 2300 Skidoo and The Third World, Charles Mingus's Peggy's Blue Skylight, two Monk tunes and three originals. Koller plays beautifully off the rhythm section (check his patient improv development on the title track) and understands Monk's rhythmic sense and ability to hint at half-stated turns and resolutions. Fluent, original, and effortlessly virtuosic without losing its expressive warmth.
This is the most expansive, expressive and exciting new jazz orchestral sound to have appeared in this country since the late-lamented Loose Tubes. German-born pianist/composer Koller is a protege of Mike Gibbs. Like Gibbs, Koller favours multi-linear intricacies going every which way rather than the more orderly rhythmic march of the riff. His contrasts of the textures of brass and reeds are often wild and thrilling, and he makes improvisations grow out of the heaving, tidal movements of the harmonies in ways that undermine all the traditional formulaic relationships of jazz big bands and their soloists. Apart from Gibbs, Koller's audible influences are Gil Evans and to a lesser extent Charles Mingus, and the music on New Memories (which features a mix of upcoming young players and old hands, and includes trumpeter Henry Lowther, saxophonist Julian Siegel and drummer Gene Calderazzo) represents an often breathtaking case of the book on big-band jazz being rewritten. If the set has a downside, it is that Koller is so fascinated by harmonic and textural movement with jazz instruments that one or two of the pieces occasionally resemble academic exercises in the art, but for the most part both the written and the spontaneous standards are impeccable. All the pieces are originals, except for My One and Only Love - a radical rearrangement in which all the usual accents and emphases are smoothed out. The other pieces include exhilarating Gibbs-like fanfares and wriggling multi-melody features, slow trombone-anchored reveries over quiet Latin grooves, and trance-like exchanges of understated melody with deep brass building insinuatingly beneath. A formidable set.
The Luton based 33JAZZ label, run by former People Band member Paul Jolly, tends to steer a smooth mainstream course. Occasionally it casts up something less predictable and with LONDON EAR it delivers a real coup; this was inimitable soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy's last recorded performance. The context is a polished, large ensemble session under the direction of Hans Koller, who also plays Fender Rhodes electric piano. Koller is an igenious, well equipped and tasteful arranger, whose most obvious debt is to Mike Gibbs. Indeed, with perhaps a wry touch of modesty, Koller makes Gibbs dedicatee of his surprising and persuasive version of the jazz standard "Blame it on my Youth". Ultimately, though, Koller is his own man, putting afreshly personal stamp even on Miles Davis's "Filles de Kilimanjaro", which the group runs through twice.
The presence of Lacy speaks volumes, of course, and he takes a major role, sounding comfortably at home and on great form despite the health problems that soon after led to his death. Probing the Davis theme, spinning out from the core of Warne Marsh's "Marshmallow", and elaborating his won composition, "Blinks", he sounds as always both spontaneous and thoroughly considered, intensely methodical and by the same means exhilarating. Koller's settings and embellishments correspond beautifully to the contours of Lacy's sinuous improvisational logic, to his idiosyncratic phrasing and singular tone. A real accomplishment, that, which whets the appetite for his latest project with Evan Parker guesting.
Koller's own compositions are weighty enough for the occasion, and the group - including guitarist Phil Robson, saxophonist Mike Williams and trumpeters Henry Lowther and Claus Stoetter - are fully charged as they track the convolutions and gloss the margins. Jolly tells me that after the recording session, drummer Gene Calderazzo approached Lacy and said, "That was really great playing, it was real fun". After a long pause, Lacy smiled, "Yeah man, it's always worth trying." In Lacy's case, it always was. LONDON EAR should be heard for his uplifting contribution, but no less for what Koller has achieved.


I do some of this.
And they do lots of this.
So I do less of this.
And everyone's happy till bedtime.

Letters to Editor, Opinion
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Slandering CAMERA won't foster understanding
April 28, 2016 2:01 am by Editors
Letters to the Editor do not reflect the editorial opinion of The Daily Free Press. They are solely the opinion of the author.
The Daily Free Press story "Palestinian student advocates protest festival celebrating Israel Independence Day" quoted a pamphlet distributed by anti-Israel demonstrators charging that the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) is "a known Islamophobic organization," and cited a report from the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). The journalist failed to get any comment from CAMERA and, regrettably, published the libelous charge as fact.
We — a Muslim and a Jew — are united in CAMERA's essential cause of promoting the facts about the Arab-Israeli conflict and domestic issues inside Israel, and we deplore the irresponsible actions of the BU protesters, members of Students for Justice in Palestine and inaccurate assertions in the article.
CAMERA, a nonpartisan media monitor and educational institution, sponsors programs at scores of universities. Many Muslim speakers and writers, who are interested in a two-state solution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, work with CAMERA. All of us, of different faiths and backgrounds, hold to a core belief — that reconciliation and mutual understanding cannot be based on a foundation of lies.
Unfortunately, lies that inflame prejudice abound in too many publications and discussions involving Israelis and Palestinians — including in public demonstrations such as the one at BU.
First, the falsehoods by CAIR: The group regularly smears as Islamophobic those simply citing undeniable, well-known facts about the genocidal aims of Hamas — an organization calling openly for the annihilation of Israel. CAIR's intention is, it seems, to silence free and open discourse and it would like, no doubt, also to distract from facts about its own unsavory record. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2008-2009 Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development trial, the largest American terrorism funding case to date, charged with raising $12 million for Hamas, a U.S. government-designated terrorist organization. At least five former staff or lay leaders from CAIR have been indicted, arrested or deported on weapons or terrorism-related charges. One, a co-founder of CAIR's Texas chapter, received a 65-year prison sentence.
Just as SJP tries to mislead the campus community with false claims about CAMERA and CAIR, the group makes itself unreliable in bogus charges of Israeli apartheid, which were featured in its posters. As an Israeli Muslim, and a former diplomat in the Foreign Ministry, I, Ishmael Khaldi, am just one of many thousands of Arabs who participate at all levels of government, industry, academia, media and culture in the most free nation in the region, Israel — an island of tolerance and hope.
It's an insult to black South Africans who suffered under true apartheid, who were segregated black from white, denied all rights and tormented on the basis of their skin color to compare the situation of Israeli Arabs and Palestinians on the West Bank to these genuine victims.
As Palestinian human rights expert Bassem Eid has said, the apartheid charges are absurd. He adds that SJP appears to have no real interest in "justice" for Palestinians. If they did care about Palestinian lives and fortunes, they would oppose the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaigns that are harming them, throwing many hundreds out of work and depriving families of income and medical coverage. Such was the case when the SodaStream company was hounded by boycott advocates, among other enterprises.
BU students who observe SJP members shouting about Israeli apartheid and calling for [Boycott, Divestment and Sanction] may want to ask why it is that an Israeli Bedouin and a Palestinian human rights activist consider their charges false and their campaigns counter to the interests of Palestinians.
Additionally, congressional testimony just days ago noted a link that perhaps reveals why SJP so often reverts to physical intimidation rather than rational argument. Maybe BU students should also ask SJP members for an update on Hamas, and their views about the terrorist organization.
For those interested in moderation and genuine dialogue, who truly want understanding between Israelis and Palestinians and who agree that inflammatory falsehoods and bullying only make peace harder to achieve, we encourage you to join with CAMERA in promoting full, fair and accurate information and open discussion of the full range of issues that thwart the achievement of neighborly relations in the Middle East.
Ishmael Khaldi and Aviva Slomich, [email protected]
Ishmael Khaldi is a Muslim Bedouin diplomat and counselor in the Israeli foreign service.
Aviva Slomich is international campus director for the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA).
Author: Editors
CAMERA is indeed reliably trustworthy, unlike many publications that base their coverage on lying, anti Israel propaganda. Writers and editors who have seemingly never studied history, at all.
The Israel-haters have to rely on slander and libel. That's all they've got.
I have researched and have asked so many questions regarding this battle between the two ..The truth is what I seek always . I stand by Israel and it makes me angry when there are so many people that just hear the one sided and hate the Jews . Its heartbreaking !
carolyn wright
I stand by Israel as well! This entire matter could be resolved once and for all by reading the scriptures. The land over which battle continues belongs solely to the Jews based on a covenant by God with Abraham. The land passed to Abraham's ancestors.

What do new environmental justice orders mean for waste?
Departments - Editor's Letter
Adam Redling
On Jan. 27, President Biden signed a series of executive orders focused on mitigating climate change, building infrastructure and promoting environmental justice.
As part of the orders, the president directed federal agencies to "develop programs, policies and activities to address the disproportionate health, environmental, economic and climate impacts on disadvantaged communities."
To enforce these directives, a new White House Environmental Justice Interagency Council and a White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council have been formed to prioritize environmental justice and ensure a "whole-of-government approach" to addressing environmental injustices and promoting better monitoring and enforcement in these areas. New or bolstered offices at the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Justice, and the Department of Health and Human Services have been created to aid in these efforts.
The orders also established the Justice40 Initiative, through which government institutions have the goal of delivering 40 percent of benefits of federal investments to disadvantaged communities. President Biden also announced the development of a Climate and Environmental Justice Screening Tool that will be used to identify disadvantaged communities and "inform equitable decision-making across the federal government."
At the heart of these policies is the desire to take the burden of housing facilities like landfills, factories, power plants, waste incineration and wastewater treatment plants away from "fenceline communities" populated by minorities.
"It's hard," President Biden said, discussing the disproportionate number of these facilities that are built and run in areas of the country where brown, black, Native American and poor whites reside. "That's why we're going to work to make sure that they receive 40 percent of the benefits of key federal investments in clean energy, clean water and wastewater infrastructure."
Operators know the difficulties of siting, permitting and running waste facilities all too well. And while regulation and red tape already pose significant challenges for those overseeing these sites, it is safe to say the industry will be keeping a close eye on how these new provisions might further exacerbate compliance issues. NIMBY (not in my back yard) is a sentiment waste industry stakeholders are used to dealing with in the communities in which they operate. What will the fallout be if government-mandated intervention brings about a new acronym: NITBY (not in their back yard)?
Of course, it will take time before the specifics and ramifications of President Biden's orders are understood; however, it would seem an obvious result will be that the responsibility of being a good neighbor will be thrust onto the shoulders of operators over the next four-plus years—even more than it already is.
Can the industry overcome additional compliance and regulatory hurdles by more thoughtful design, greater community engagement, an embrace of innovation and technology, and more proactive emissions testing?
However these orders are interpreted and enforced, it is a good bet that the companies that are able to lay out their plans for equitable and safe waste operations (and show a track record of doing so) are the ones that are going to be the beneficiaries of new government policy.
Interstate of mind
Features - Cover Story
Michael DiBella's longstanding relationships have helped to build Interstate Waste into the largest privately held solid waste hauler in the New York City, northern New Jersey market.
Photo Credit Interstate Waste
You don't become the largest privately held, vertically integrated provider of solid waste services in the New York City and northern New Jersey markets by accident.
For Michael DiBella, the founding of Interstate Waste in 1999 was three generations in the making.
DiBella's grandfather, Frank, formed Frank DiBella Sanitation Inc. in 1947 to serve northern New Jersey and New York state. Michael DiBella's father, Philip, and uncle, Steve, took over the one-truck operation in the 1960s and developed it into a 100-truck company doing $50 million a year in business when it was sold to Waste Management in 1998.
By the time the family business was sold, Michael had already leveraged years of experience growing up in the industry to establish his own footprint in the space.
Michael started driving trucks for DiBella Sanitation after graduating high school in 1985. After working as a driver for several years, he advanced in various positions from sales to operations. At the time the business was sold, DiBella was working as the company's general manager.
Along the way, Michael ventured out to Albany, New York, to start his own commercial and industrial waste business, Environmental Waste Industries Inc., in 1991. Michael kept his roles at both companies until both entities were sold to Waste Management in 1998.
After both businesses were sold, Michael founded Interstate Waste and started operating in Rockland County, New York. At the time, he says it was approximately a $2 to $3 million business.
According to DiBella, the decision to form Interstate was born out of the realization that there might be an opening for a private waste company with familiarity with the community in the region.
"By the time my dad sold the business in '98 to Waste Management, new entrants, mainly publicly traded waste companies were busy buying up the industry in New Jersey in particular," he says. "And I felt there was going to be an opportunity to start back up in the business and be competitive with the public companies in our marketplace. They took a big chunk of the private sector out and now it was dominated by public companies, and I thought I would have a good opportunity to build a business there."
He says that the company's boots on the ground, organic approach to building business and servicing customers helped propel Interstate's rapid growth in those early years.
"We just organically grew from going out, chasing the business, working on sales, going and seeing customers— residential commercial and industrial businesses—we were going after it all," he says.
Within two years, DiBella's aggressive approach helped develop the company into a $25 million player in the region.
With its footprint established, DiBella wanted to begin pursuing smaller acquisitions as a way to accelerate Interstate's growth. However, without the capital to make the moves he wanted to make, DiBella made the strategic decision to partner with Summer Street Capital and Ironwood Capital.
Interstate's first private equity deal involved buying a small divestiture from Waste Management in its marketplace after the company was forced to sell off assets from an Allied Waste deal. The result was approximately $9 million in collection business and two transfer stations coming into the Interstate fold.
"We had the opportunity to take on Waste Management's assets, and we were successful in integrating the operations," he says. "It really catapulted Interstate Waste and made the company a real player in the market. Up to that point, we were a collection-only business, which is extremely challenging, especially in our marketplace where there are no landfills. Having transfer station capacity is essential in the northern New Jersey market. After acquiring the Waste Management transfer assets, we went on a real run, acquiring mom-and-pop-type businesses that were really very similar in operations to the business my father built."
DiBella says armed with the capital backing of Summer Street and other private equity investors, his familiarity and established relationships with the people working in the industry helped grease the skids in terms of pursuing acquisitions of local companies.
"Being around my father's business growing up, I got to know the industry players pretty well through those day-to-day business dealings. So, when walking in the door of a competitor to pitch the idea of buying their family business, it wasn't coming from a stranger. And I think that contributed to our success of acquiring a bunch of companies," he says.
After completing a string of deals and building Interstate into a $150 million company, DiBella sold the company to Highstar Waste Holdings in 2006, which later became part of Advanced Disposal.
DiBella says instead of continuing to work for Interstate after selling to Highstar, he purchased a controlling interest in Action Carting's New York City operations in partnership with Ironwood in 2006, and shortly thereafter, acquired the New York City collection assets from Waste Management, who was looking to exit collection operations in NYC.
"Action was a $25 million a year business at that point, and we bought about $40 million of collection business from Waste Management," DiBella explains. "So, it really grew the company quickly. We ended up doing the same thing we did in New Jersey prior, which is work to acquire mom-and-pop businesses throughout the city."
In 2010, in collaboration with Summer Street, Action Carting and DiBella purchased the New York City transfer and collection assets of Republic Services, further building the Action footprint in the five boroughs. As DiBella was busy growing Action Carting, he got word that Highstar Waste Holdings may be interested in divesting Interstate Waste after struggling to gain footing in the region. In 2013, he bought back the company he started a decade and a half earlier.

So, when walking in the door of a competitor to pitch the idea of buying their family business, it wasn't coming from a stranger." –Michael DiBella, CEO, Interstate Waste Services
"Summer Street Capital and its Managing Partner Brian D'Amico have been supporting the growth of Interstate Waste since their original investment in 2003," DiBella says. "They financed our growth through acquisition strategy [including with] Action Carting and the subsequent acquisitions of the New York City collection assets of Waste Management, the New York City transfer and collection assets of Republic Services, the buy-back of Interstate Waste in 2013 and many other tuck-in acquisitions over the last 17 years. Summer Street's industry knowledge and financial support aided our growth … and they have been great partners for many years now."
DiBella says after doing "a lot of rehab" to strengthen the company over the last several years, the opportunity to vertically integrate its services became a reality when it purchased Apex Environmental in 2020. The company partnered with Littlejohn & Co. to finance the acquisition. This deal yielded two rail-served transfer stations, one rail transloading yard and a rail-served landfill in Amsterdam, Ohio. Subsequently, DiBella integrated Action Environmental and Apex Environmental under the Interstate Waste Services brand.
"The Apex deal is just a game-changer for us because we are a sizeable collector in the five boroughs and northern New Jersey, but up until the Apex deal, we didn't control our own destiny in terms of disposal," he says. "We all viewed it as a key element to continuing to grow the business, and it was a necessity, quite frankly. We worked hard at getting the deal done, and now we're in the middle of integrating services, so it's been an exciting run over the last 20 years."
Today, Interstate Waste has approximately 1,200 employees. The company boasts around 375 collection trucks and counts 20 transfer stations (including two with direct rail service), one rail transload facility, three material recycling facilities (MRFs) and one rail-served landfill as assets.
The company's collection customers weigh heavily towards commercial accounts (approximately 90 percent of its business), with the balance comprising residential and specialty industrial customers.
As Interstate's history suggests, the company's composition doesn't remain stagnant for long.
In January, Interstate acquired a 57-year-old family business, Bernardsville, New Jersey-based Rubinetti Disposal, which will help establish the company in the central New Jersey collection market, DiBella says.
Despite some of the obstacles of operating in the competitive New York City/New Jersey markets, DiBella says Interstate has embraced these difficulties as it plans for future development.
"New York City is a unique market for collection companies," he says. "Most of the activity takes place between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. and consists primarily of loose bags on the street served by rear load collection trucks. Only the larger facilities are served through traditional containers such as roll-off compactors. Operating in a densely populated urban city at night with constant and heavy traffic presents unique challenges for service and safety. It's a constant focus for our team. We enjoy that challenge, and serving one of the greatest cities in the world is a real source of pride.
"Northern and central New Jersey are highly populated and growing markets where Interstate Waste is excited to continue to expand its market share—both commercial and residential. By having strong collection coverage, a network of transfer stations and MRFs, and the ability to move waste by rail, we feel Interstate is uniquely positioned to serve the growing New Jersey market."
While DiBella says the vision for the business is to focus on providing a full range of customer service solutions for commercial, residential and industrial customers, the company's high concentration of commercial accounts makes New York City's pending Commercial Waste Zone guidelines a central concern for the company.
The New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) originally released its Commercial Waste Zone plan in November 2018, citing safety, environmental and nuisance concerns as the impetus for reducing the number of waste service providers in the city. Under the plan, DSNY will divide the city into 20 zones, each served by only a few carters selected through a competitive process.
"Interstate Waste is engaging with all stakeholders. ... Given the impact of COVID on New York City, in particular, the timing of implementing such a disruptive change for commercial establishments is concerning." –Michael DiBella, CEO, Interstate Waste Services
According to DiBella, though the plan is noble in its aim, the current plans for implementation could put undue stress on haulers and their customers, especially during the COVID pandemic and its aftermath.
"Interstate Waste is engaging with all stakeholders in an attempt to have a positive impact on the continued development of the rules. Given the impact of COVID on New York City, in particular, the timing of implementing such a disruptive change for commercial establishments is concerning. It may take 12 to 24 months for the region to recover, and adding new regulation and substantive change during this crisis and pending recovery is not ideal. We would certainly support an extended timeline for rulemaking, RFP and implementation. We remain hopeful that Commercial Waste Zones will ultimately have a positive impact on the collection industry in New York City, but much work needs to be done on improving the rules, the implementation timeline and overall transition plan."
DiBella says that ensuring greener waste collection in the region through reduced truck traffic is something that is a core focus of Interstate. Thanks to the company's new rail access, DiBella says they'll be able to significantly cut emissions for collection and disposal.
"Similar to the objectives of the Commercial Waste Zones initiative, moving waste by rail significantly reduces truck traffic and vehicle miles traveled. For example, a single train can handle the freight of approximately 280 long-haul trucks. We move a train each day of the week, saving approximately 2,000 truck movements, or 390,000 truck miles in a single week," he says. "With our rail infrastructure, Interstate is now able to provide curb collection to final disposal in an efficient, environmentally friendly manner. We have made significant investments in our rail infrastructure and we are excited for the impact it will have in the coming years."
In addition to being a conduit for integrating its operations and limiting its environmental output, DiBella says the company's rail infrastructure is anticipated to play a major role as the company looks to grow throughout the region via M&A.
"Without question, we plan to continue to grow the Interstate footprint throughout the Northeast and leverage our rail infrastructure," he says. "We have an active pipeline of target businesses with many providing a great strategic and cultural fit, especially in our core markets of New York and New Jersey."
While the company looks to grow beyond its New York City and northern New Jersey roots, it's the relationships and lessons learned through these partnerships that will guide the company as it builds on its past successes.
"Many managers and employees at our company have 20 to 30 years of experience working together in this business. Very few companies have that level of continuity from management to driver to mechanic," DiBella says. "Our employees have grown up together servicing customers in their own back yard. Maintaining that continuity long term, as we grow, is one of our key objectives."

Gaeta Recycling touts Sennebogen material handler's ease of use, durability
Custom Content - Custom Content | Sennebogen
Gaeta Recycling Co. Inc. in Paterson, New Jersey, is a fifth-generation waste and recycling business whose roots date back to 1935. To serve its client base of roughly 30 municipalities and 6,000 commercial customers, the company boasts 180 employees and a fleet of 120 trucks.
The company also operates its own material recovery facility and transfer station for the municipal waste, bulky waste, dry industrial waste, vegetative waste and construction & demolition materials it processes. And while the company is licensed to process 400 tons per day out of its existing transfer station, Gaeta has been routinely handling more than 700 tons per day over the last several months thanks to COVID-related exemptions.
With the high volume of incoming material the company has to contend with, the right equipment is essential for facilitating smooth and seamless operations, which is something Gaeta Recycling President Michael Portannese learned the hard way.
A new solution
Gaeta has long relied on excavators for its material handling operations at its transfer station, but after buying a new unit three years ago only to be let down with nonstop maintenance issues, the company decided to go in another direction.
Mr. Portannese says that a friend at a nearby scrap recycling and auto wrecking company recommended Gaeta give Sennebogen material handlers a try due to their positive experiences operating them at their facility. After testing some of Sennebogen's competitors' equipment, Mr. Portannese says the Sennebogen machine stood out right away when they finally got a chance to operate one.
"[The other equipment] couldn't pick up the loads that we were hoping for, the grapple size was just wrong, it wasn't working out," Mr. Portannese says. "I was then introduced to a salesman at Komatsu Northeast who offered to bring the Sennebogen 818 material handler for us to test out, and we loved it."
Wanting added hydraulic power and weight, Gaeta made the decision to invest in the larger Sennebogen 821 wheeled material handler. The company also decided to upgrade to a longer boom and a three-over-two-grapple attachment as opposed to a rotating clamshell grapple.
After taking possession on Oct. 22, 2019, Mr. Portannese says the company wasted no time in putting the Sennebogen into action, deploying it to the facility's operating floor the very next day.
New and improved
After dealing with repetitive service issues with the company's older excavators, often stemming from software diagnostic issues, Mr. Portannese says that the scaled back design of the Sennebogen gives the company all the functionality it needs without the superfluous gadgets and technology it doesn't.
"What really sold us on the machine is the fact that there's only one computer that runs the injectors on the engine, besides that, the entire machine is not computerized. Sennebogen has simplified the machine and they've made it very, very user friendly," Mr. Portannese says. "They've made it for the basic user. Our model has a Cummins engine, and [when we need to service the software], we can plug our laptop into the computer, which makes it so easy. You don't have to worry about a tech coming out and having to work on it. We can do it all in house."
Beyond better uptime, the switch to the wheeled Sennebogen material handler has allowed for safer, more efficient operations thanks to its design and more responsive joystick control that facilitates easier sorting and handling.
"We were used to the tracked excavators and having to drive on the piles of waste to move our incoming volumes. Now with the wheeled Sennebogen, we can simply work next to the piles because that material handler has a longer reach and it also makes it easier to pick up a bigger scoop, a heavier payload, which in return, allows us to load a trailer that much faster, a lot safer and we don't have to get on top of a pile," Mr. Portannese says.
Mr. Portannese also says that since the material handler isn't built for digging like excavators are, operators don't have to worry about trying to manage the downward force of the boom. This allows operators to quickly collect material and load it into the on-site trailers. The Sennebogen 821 also has an elevated driver's cab, which makes it easier for drivers to see what they're doing and cut down on the possibility of accidents. Plus, Sennebogen upfitted the unit with a reversing fan, allowing the radiator to be cleaned periodically and the machine to stay cool.
Mr. Portannese says that since taking possession, his Sennebogen 821 has been in operation from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. six days a week with little exception outside of routine maintenance to keep up with demand.
Despite this workload, Gaeta Recycling is currently looking to expand and renovate its transfer station to allow the company to process even more material. According to Mr. Portannese, the company is awaiting approval to take in an additional 500 tons per day.
With the potential for greater volumes in the near future, Mr. Portannese says that should the company need help in ramping up its material handling capacity, it knows where to turn.
"Upon our expansion, if we need another material handler, it'll definitely be a Sennebogen," he says.

Clean Earth surpasses aerosol can recycling milestone
Clean Earth, Hatboro, Pennsylvania, announced Nov. 12 that it expects its Clean Earth Aerosol Recycling System to process 13 million aerosol cans by the end of 2020. According to the company, this would be an 85 percent increase from the company's 2015 aerosol can recycling volumes. Specializing in aerosol recycling for pressurized steel cans, aluminum cans, plastics and glass, Clean Earth says it has already surpassed its record recycling volumes from 2017.
The company says this increase in volumes is a result of Clean Earth's history of aerosol recycling Final Rule compliance, health and safety initiatives and the company's specialized recycling system technology. Clean Earth commits to ensuring that 100 percent of each can goes through the recycling process, helping divert material from landfill and reduce customers' carbon footprint.
Clean Earth boasts 19 transfer, storage and disposal facilities (TSDFs) for processing of aerosol cans. Clean Earth's largest processing site is a hazardous waste facility in Morgantown, West Virginia, that processes aerosol cans received from across the country. Clean Earth's network is projected to expand with additional recycling processing units by 2022.
"It's exciting to have bypassed one of our core company goals this year for the Aerosol Recycling System, which was the processing of 11.4 million aerosol cans," Clean Earth Vice President of Operations Hector Sanchez says. "Our mission for Clean Earth's aerosol services directly align with our goals for sustainability—to ultimately go green as a company and for zero components to end up in a landfill. We're committed to providing a 100 percent sustainable solution for aerosol waste for our customers and remaining a cutting-edge vendor with market-leading technology features."

EPA aims to boost recycling rate to 50 percent by 2030
During the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) America Recycles Summit Nov. 17, EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler discussed the draft of the National Recycling Strategy and unveiled a national recycling goal that aims to increase the U.S. recycling rate to 50 percent by 2030.
"This ambitious national recycling goal will help guide investments and commitments from across the recycling system," Wheeler said.
EPA Office of Land and Emergency Management Assistant Administrator Peter Wright added that the U.S. recycling rate "has lingered in the low 30 percent range for the last 20 years."
"The economic and environmental benefits from recycling are clear, and we've made a lot of progress, but much more needs to be done to obtain the benefits of increasing the national recycling rate to 50 percent by 2030," Wright said. "We appreciate every organization that has submitted comments over the last three years and every organization that has issued a public commitment to continue to help us reach the national goal."
According to a news release summarizing this year's America Recycles Summit, the event's participants also discussed the National Recycling Strategy draft. EPA says that strategy identifies targeted objectives to create a stronger, more resilient and cost-effective U.S. recycling system.
At the Summit, Wheeler encouraged the public to comment on how the EPA can measure progress and actions needed to achieve the three objectives in the draft National Recycling Strategy, which include:
reduce contamination in recycling;
make recycling processing systems more efficient; and
strengthen economic markets for recycled materials.
EPA says the draft National Recycling Strategy remains open for public comment through Dec. 4. When finalized, EPA adds, this strategy will serve as a road map to achieve its new national recycling goal.
Recycling industry associations such as the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI), Washington, have expressed support for the EPA's new recycling goal.
"We commend the EPA administrator for his vision of a new goal to achieve a 50 percent residential recycling rate by 2030," says ISRI President Robin Wiener. "ISRI is grateful to Administrator Wheeler and the entire EPA team for their personal dedication to enhancing recycling as well as their vision to create a National Recycling Strategy."

BLS data show the injury rate in waste, recycling occupations remained steady in 2019
The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its 2019 Employer-Reported Workplace Injuries and Illness report Nov. 4. According to the report, private industry employers reported 2.8 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses last year.
The overall injury rate for the waste and recycling industry remained steady at 4.2. The injury rate at material recovery facilities (MRFs) fell sharply from 4.9 to 3.6. The injury rate for solid waste collection fell slightly from 5.9 to 5.8. The rate for landfills ticked up to 4.9 from 3.9. Approximately 65 percent of landfills in the country are owned and operated by municipalities, with just 35 percent being owned and operated by private companies.
"The recent BLS data tell us we have more work to do to reduce injuries and illness in the waste and recycling industry. Though we are pleased with the significant drop at MRFs, it is important that we work just as hard to reduce injuries and illness across the industry," National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA) President and CEO Darrell Smith says. "We cannot be satisfied with this report."


Marquees can easily be joined together to create one big space. All you need to purchase is a joining kit, which is essentially a piece of material to stop the roof leaking along the join.
"The quality and value of the kit was excellent. However there was no website or packaging instructions...how to fit.... especially in windy conditions as the joining strap is prone to lifting without additional roping at the Apex ."
"I was a bit confused at first when fitting joining kit fastening it around tent legs but all worked out well and I was very pleased"
"A neat device to stop the rain running down between Marquees"

The difference, to my limited knowledge, is that Indian astrology is based on a "moving sky" if you will. In other words, Indian astrology reads your chart based on the actual position of the stars at the time you were born. Where as western astrology bases it on a "fixed position" of stars so everyone can be categorized based solely on the month they were born. Less work I guess, but it completely undermines any serious study of the subject.
Ghost32posted 10 years agoin reply to this
I studied astrology seriously enough in 1972-1973 that I learned to set up my own chart and even did some mild interpretation for other people...sometimes not so mild. After that period, I've not used it a lot but don't see it as hocus-pocus, either.
Just looking at your Sun sign in the newspaper doesn't accomplish much. If your entire chart is set up, in which the locations of the sun, moon, and all known planets in the solar system are pinned down and their angular relationships analyzed, quite a surprising amount of accurate information can be gained by the knowledgeable practitioner. I found it quite reliable for insights into personalities and even more so for compatibility checks between mates.
Using what I'd learned, I actually (no kidding) picked out my 2nd wife from her chart before we'd even met...and also designed my approach to her based on what the chart showed. That approach was so successful that within literally minutes of meeting face to face, we'd committed to each other--despite both of us being married at the time.
That marriage lasted for seven years. When we divorced, we were still best friends and are still extremely close to this day. It was simply time for the two of us to go our separate ways, which we did. (Note: Divorce without anger not recommended; the grieving has no insulation and is a real bugger.)
I found astrology to be LESS helpful in predicting long term behavior. This is, I now believe, because as Soul each of us retains the power to rise at any moment to a state of consciousness beyond Time and Space--to rest in the grace of God, if you will--and astrology ONLY works in the lower, karmic, cause-and-effect dimensions.

double_frickposted 10 years agoin reply to this
what about identical twins separated at birth exhibiting similar traits and mannersisms, sometimes even similar life choices, without ever being close to eachother.
i believe that astrology isn't a set map of how one's life will go and all the situations one will be presented with, its a very intricately woven tapestry of possibilities and key traits and energies and where they flow in (or do not flow so easily) in ones life.
its does not contain all the answers, that comes from within. it just guides one on using that which one was born with in a more positive way, i.e. working WITH your energies instead of against them.
most often people do not believe it because they misunderstand it, only know of sun signs (the proverbial tip of the iceberg)
or then of course those who think it is "evil" and then there is no teaching them, only arguing. c'est la vie
What's to understand? Astrology is pure bunkum. Those who believe in it don't really understand much at all. So called Astrologers can't even describe the effects. They haven't a clue.

It's entertainment. If people want to make more of it than that it's their choice.
But you can't say for a fact that people's personalities aren't affected somehow by the time and place of their birth. We haven't found any concrete connection yet but maybe we'd find something if we had the ability to factor in all the elements of the universe -- a mind-boggling task.
Just staying open to possibilities that go beyond our limited knowledge and understanding of things.

If you agree everything in the universe can be broken down into numbers and the butterfly effect exists (throughout the universe), the idea behind astrology has some genuine merit.
But good luck doing the math. Maybe someday a super computer will be able to mathematically calculate how, and to what degree, the time and place of your birth in the universe affects you in some measurable manner.
In the meantime all we have to work with are the simple latitude and longitude lines of Earth and the positions of the planets in our own tiny solar system. Using that miniscule amount of information, the accuracy of astrological forecasts is likely to be extremely questionable at best.
But it's fun and it does seem to defy the odds by being on target a bit more often than would seem likely.
Of course maybe that's just the double Leo in me speaking.

Astrology does effect a persons natural tendencies of behaveior. I don't think that it is ruled as much by the date of birth as it does the date of conseption. The day seed is planted or the day the egg is fertalized.
A farmer plants seeds acording to the seasons and moon and stars because this affects their growth and productivity.
It can make a big diffrence if the seeds are planted on the 14th or the 16th.
Natural tendencies of a persons affected by their astrological sign.?? I can see that.
Mathematics ? fictitious planets which are not in solar system are in view part of maths and part of faith ? Is this how that thing works ??
One more thing, am i aries or scorpion then ?
These charts have been mapped with astounding accuracy thousands of years ago , Some of the planets modern man discovered with the help of powerful telescopes.
I dont know the difference between western or Indian astrology but try a reading some time and you will be pleasantly surprised.
Do you believe in numerology.?
I studied astronomy as a Navigating officer in the Navy and was skeptical about astrology, but I couldn't deny the accuracy of some readings.
No i don't believe in numerology.
I have gone through lot of north/south indian natal chart readings and both show me different readings. As per indian astro i'm scorpion but my future predicted by those is completely different and as per greek astro stuff it is different. And to tell you that because of those 12 positions i have seen that stuff is not that accurate. North indian system predicted i'll not have education in future and i'll do some business, and to beat that i found myself as engg graduate of communication engineering and i'm working with IT firm. Is this accurate as per astro now ?
I got a very accurate reading.
There is a a hubber here called Deborah Saxton try requesting her for numerology reading , she is superb, extremely accurate.
I'll ask her for sure.
But here is take a look at it. As i told you earlier i have digged it by asking some reputed people about this. After that i also asked with people online about it and all gave me some random information. I don't know how accurate it could be ?
I found bejan daruwala and Linda Goodman prediction as completely wrong.
I think Bejan Daruwalla is awesome, a mystic who communicates with the entity Ganesha who imparts this knowledge to him.

Yes, if you hadn't noticed, some of the freelance bidding sites are actually hiring writers to write astrological horoscopes for them! This discovery of course had me finally convinced that there is no horoscope god out there, calculating everyone's information with some sort of magical knowledge...
No seriously, I knew there wasn't, but the point is, it's all in fun. We never see a horoscope telling us
"you suck, get used to it, go play in traffic.."
The reason is, obviously no one wants to hear that they suck. I mean at the very least they can be seen as positive reinforcement, validation, or even simply a way into more positive or proactive thinking in terms of ones problems in life.
There are as many sides to astrology as there are religion in some ways. One group of people's firm belief in one side doesn't discount another group's belief in an opposite side. I relate it to religion simply because yes...some people follow their horoscope religiously, and whole heartedly belief in them.
I personally enjoy horoscopes because they are ever changing and again...it's just for fun for the most part! If their truths are going to conflict in a way that gets on your nerves then just simply don't read them.
Of course one could deduct that Aries and a Scorpion for instance have a lot of the same traits and are just named different things depending on where they originated. Ah...culture and it's effect on the people is astonishing is it not?

Like most criteria for finding a restful night of sleep, the perfect temperature for sleeping at night can vary from person to person. But, if you are having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, chances are your room is the wrong temperature. A few nights of trial and error will help you determine the perfect temperature for sleeping.
According to WebMD, your body temperature drops as you go to sleep, so that your core temperature is a little cooler at night than during the rest of the day. If you body has trouble maintaining this temperature during the night, you are likely to wake up. So, if your room is too hot or too cold, or if the clothing you sleep in or your bedding is not quite right for your needs, it could be keeping you up at night.
Hands and feet are particularly important to pay attention to as you fall asleep. As your body temperature cools down, your hands and feet radiate heat. If these extremities are too cold, you may have trouble falling asleep. You can put on socks, or warm your bed ahead of time with a heating pad to help keep your hands and feet warm until you achieve sleep.
If you share a room, you will have to have some compromise with your partner, as their ideal sleeping temperature may be different than yours. You can adjust with clothes, sheets and blankets. But if you both agree, you can try turning the thermostat up or down. Turning the thermostat down at night is a great way to save energy and many people sleep better in a cooler room. However, if you are turning it too low, blankets may not be enough to keep you warm. Try turning it up a little for a few nights and see if it improves the quality of your sleep. You may need to keep a journal for a few nights, keeping track of the thermostat setting and rating the quality of your sleep, in order to find your ideal temperature.
Also, make sure your bedding is appropriate for the season and for your needs. If you are waking up too hot in the night, you may need to find a comforter or blanket that is a lighter weight. If winter and summer are extreme where you live, you may need to alternate your bedding accordingly. Check out these posts on suggested bedding mattress pads for maintaining the right temperature.
Studies show that 60 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit is the optimal sleeping temperature in a bedroom, but everyone has individual needs and you may need to adjust accordingly. What is your perfect sleeping temperature? What tricks have you used to achieve it?

You may have noticed a significantly higher price tag on organic cotton products than on products made with conventional cotton. It is not the organic trend that drives this price, but the greater cost that comes from the risks associated with raising organic cotton.
Stanford University sites some of the difficulties farmers face when they transition from conventional cotton to organic practices. In order to be certified organic, farmers must farm without chemicals for three years. This ensures that the soil is free from chemicals used in the past. Cotton grown during this time is called transitional cotton. The crops are small because the soil has not yet recovered from its previous intensive use and the risks are high because the farmer is no longer using chemicals. However, this cotton does not receive the higher organic price in markets because it is not yet certified. Most farmers must take a loss for three years in order to switch from conventional to organic growing practices.
Weeds among organic cotton must be removed by hand. This takes much more manual labor than conventional cotton, that is sprayed with herbicide to remove weeds. Farmers of organic cotton must pay more people for labor per acre than farmers of conventional cotton.
Part of organic farming also means that crop success and failure is more dependent on the weather and other environmental factors such as pest infestations. Each year organic farmers are taking a greater risk than conventional cotton growers. In order for organic cotton to be viable, prices must be higher to account for the annual and seasonal crop loss.
According to the Organic Trade Association, only 1.1 percent of cotton grown worldwide is organic. While the cost is high for farmers to raise organic cotton, markets can make it worthwhile. As more consumers pay for more organic cotton, producers will demand more organic cotton from growers. This will make the risky transition to organic cotton profitable for growers. Even now, producers are working with growers to improve cotton raising practices and reduce the amount of resources used by cotton.
Monetary costs of organic cotton may be more for consumers, but the hidden costs of conventional cotton are high. Conventional cotton has high costs for human health and the environment.

On first thought, gray may seem boring or drab to use as part of a color scheme in a bedroom. Gray, however, is gaining in popularity. With its cool, calming effect it can complement just about any color to make a bedroom that is trendy and comfortable.
Grays come in all kinds of shades. Some tend to lean more toward neutral, beige and white tones, others towards blue, green and purple tones. Gray can be very light and subtle, or it can be dark and impressionable. There is a gray for every style and taste. To view some examples of the various gray colors, see this slideshow from HouseBeautiful .
Depending on what shade of gray you choose, it can be paired with just about any color. One very popular color combination is a medium, stone gray paired with a bright, goldenrod yellow. Chalkier grays will go well with dusty pastels such as lavender and pink. Charcoal grays will complement deep reds and dusky oranges. You can also get a very classic, sophisticated look with gray, black and white.
There are several ways you can pair grays with other colors in your bedroom. You can paint the walls gray and use a solid color for your bedding and window treatments. Wallpaper is also regaining popularity. Gray paint would be the perfect accompaniment to a print wallpapered accent wall. Gray also works as the single accent wall with pastels as the main wall color. Another popular trend is to use gray for the wall color and white for the trim.
If you are considering redecorating your bedroom, think about gray as a color option. It is versatile, so you can mix and match with it, as your tastes change, without needing to repaint. Gray can be soothing and calming, especially the blue tones of gray, which is ideal for a bedroom environment. Gray can also be the perfect background for a favorite piece of art or a decorative headboard. A simple gray will draw attention to the art and will prevent the room from feeling cluttered and busy. There are a number of advantages to using gray and when used creatively, gray will be anything but drab and dull.

On the surface, it may appear that natural and organic are the same thing. In marketing, however, they are two very different words. "Green" or environmentally friendly is a very popular selling point these days, but often the general public is not thoroughly informed about what that means. Advertisers and marketers can take advantage of uninformed consumers, and market items as "natural" when they may not be.
According to Organic It's Worth It, the term "natural" is not regulated by the USDA, the FDA or any other third party. Using that word on packaging is entirely up to the discretion of the company selling the product. Often, it is implied that the product is not highly processed or contains less artificial ingredients than other similar products, but there is no guarantee that this is true. If a marketer believes it will help the product sell, they can use the term "natural" on the packaging.
The word "organic" is different. Products labeled "organic" are strictly regulated by a third party. Any product that uses the label must be certified by the USDA. Products that are labeled "organic" promise that no herbicides or pesticides have been used in the growth of the raw materials, and no hormones or antibiotics have been given to animals. Each organic producer must pass a rigorous certification process.
This does not necessarily mean you should not buy natural products or that natural is bad. It means you need to do more work to know what you are getting. You should always read the labels and do a little research to that you understand exactly what you are buying and why the producer chose to label the product "natural." Look for ingredients that you recognize, that don't have long, confusing names. These ingredients are more likely to be healthy for you. When you are in doubt, and "organic" is an option, choose organic. Organic bedding, for example, does not have any chemicals involved in the growth of the cotton, unlike sheets labeled 'natural' which most likely does.
"Natural" may also be a term used by small scale growers that can not afford the expensive certification process. Knowing your local farmers and asking questions at farmers markets can help you know exactly what processes are used to grow the product you are purchasing. In these cases, natural may mean organic.
Remember, "natural" is a marketing term (not necessarily good or bad) and "organic" is a certification. It is up to you, the consumer, to stayed informed and make wise purchases. Have you ever been disappointed by a "natural" product?

Malevich Installation / Orekhov

Architects : Orekhov
Area : 200 m²
Photographs : Ivan Muraenko

Lead Architects : Gregory Orekhov
Country : Russia
Textual content description offered by the architects. Artist Gregory Orekhov reinterprets the "Black Sq." in a brand new sculpture for Malevich Park situated within the Moscow area. Situated within the Moscow area, close to the settlements of Barvikha and Nemchninovka, a park named after Kazimir Malevich has opened its doorways to the general public. These countryside landscapes weren't solely the artist's favorite trip spots but additionally served as inspiration for his later acquired figurative fashion, which marked the start of a brand new chapter in his artwork. One of many key components of the park is a sculpture created by Gregory Orekhov.
Orekhov's "Black Sq." is the primary large-scale monument created in reminiscence of Kazimir Malevich, and a singular instance of a up to date Russian sculpture. Orekhov thought of the sculpture's captured quantity and deliberately preserved its "unnaturalness" in opposition to the backdrop of the park, which is crucial attribute of the article. Orekhov masterfully integrates the murals inside the constructed setting, all of the whereas connecting the viewer to the architectural area of the panorama.
Divided into two elements, Orekhov's "Black Sq." acts as a passageway into the park. The item itself is kind of utilitarian in its nature. In keeping with the artist's thought, as soon as we enter the "sq.", we discover ourselves at a crossroad — to both enter the park or enter infinity, a crossing between what happens in real-life and a whole bunch of its unfulfilled variations.
Orekhov was in a position to obtain this by inserting two full-length mirrors manufactured from polished stainless-steel into the 2 halves of the dice. The metal sheets made within the artist's studio haven't any analogs in Russia, whereas the floor sharpening was achieved with the very best stage of processing. Nonetheless, the approach is utilized in opposition to itself, in opposition to the course of historic time, in opposition to progress, as a way of overcoming historical past and returning to the start of nature.
The concept behind the creation of this work derives from and continues the philosophy of probably the most notable cultural figures of the Avant-garde period of the early 20th century. The invasion of commercial manufacturing into the standard way of life was perceived because the destruction of unity inside nature, upon which the millennial cultural custom was based mostly upon. The emulation of nature has lengthy misplaced its' worth, because the world has steadily grown unstable. On the identical time, the development in approach, not solely disadvantaged artwork of its declare to reality, however modified the best way artists outlined their creativity — not as a mirrored image of the world, however as its actual transformation. The illustration of sculpture and portray has since been thought to be one thing "actual" — not as duplicates of actual issues existent in an idealistic area.
"The viewer turns into an confederate, falling into an countless hall of reflections. The dynamics of the viewer's motion grow to be intriguing contained in the static determine. The spatial growth of the "Black Sq." lies inside the structure: the transition from Malevich's two-dimensional type to the three-dimensional type of Orekhov. But, a special universe emerges contained in the sculpture — a multidimensional area that resembles a "laughing room" or the sci-fi/horror "Dice," writes curator and artwork critic Mikhail Sidlin. "Gregory Orekhov is probably the one Russian sculptor that works in true postminimalism. spirit: he combines a crude type with a theatre of feelings that in the end draw one in."


At last I am brave enough to try out three layer cakes with frosting. Why didn't I bake this before is because I don't fancy butter cream. I would scrape off every bit of butter cream when I eat birthday cakes or I will only eat the cake and leave the frosting alone. Anyway I have enough of birthday cakes ! There is a birthday celebration every other day in my kindergarten.
Well, cream cheese frosting is not the same, nothing will be scraped off at all. It will taste like the cheesecakes that I like so much. I love the red colour of this red velvet cake which is a rage in the U.S. You don't see much of this cake in Singapore. I will try to make it a brighter red next time.
Three 6 0r 7-inch cake pans. Serves 10 to 12.
Grease and line the bottom of three 6-inch or 7-inch cake pans with baking paper.
Sift the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and salt into a bowl.
Beat the butter and sugar till light and fluffy in a mixer.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, add vanilla extract and food colouring till well mixed.
Add one-third of the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix well. Pour in half of the buttermilk.
Add another one-third of the flour mixture to the butter mixture followed by the remaining buttermilk.
Finally, mix in the remaining flour till all the ingredients are well combined.
In a small bowl, mix the vinegar and baking soda.
Fold this mixture into the cake batter.
Divide the mixture evenly among the cake pans and place them in the oven.
Bake for a 2o to 25 min and test with a toothpick.
Cool the cakes in their pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes and unmould.
Blend cream cheese and butter till smooth in a mixer.
On low speed, add in icing sugar, salt and vanilla extract.
Blend the mixture till fluffy on medium speed.
Place one cake on a cake board or a flat plate and add about 1/4 of the frosting.
Smooth out the frosting with a spatula. Repeat the process with the other two cakes.
Once the final layer has been frosted, use 1/4 of the frosting to cover the sides of the cake evenly.

Amended Patents Act and Access to Medicines after Doha
The Doha Declaration constitutes a major step forward insofar as it acknowledges in the WTO context that the introduction of patents in the health sector has significant impacts on access to drugs. However, the Declaration neither amends the TRIPS Agreement nor provides a basis for developing countries to link their patent and health legislations. The Patents (Amendment) Act, 2002 closely follows TRIPS and in the process does away with provisions of the 1970 Act that constituted India's own response to the challenge of providing exclusive commercial rights in a field concerned with the fulfilment of basic health needs.

Legal Factors in TRIPS
To ensure that patent-abusive situations, such as the ones that occurred in South Africa, do not repeat themselves, member countries of the WTO must draft balanced domestic patent legislations based on a rational interpretation of the TRIPS text.

WTO Regime, Host Country Policies and Global Patterns of MNE Activity
While in general it is admitted that host governments' policies may play an important role in extracting the benefits of FDI for development, a more exact analysis of the relative role of different policy measures in shaping the magnitudes and quality of FDI inflows is not available. Such an analysis has become even more important now in the context of the new international trading regime under the aegis of the WTO which covers issues which have an important bearing on the ability of national governments in regulating the patterns of FDI inflows. This paper presents some findings of a comprehensive attempt to quantitatively analyse the role of structural, geographical and policy factors in shaping the patterns of MNE activity. The focus is on the role of host government policies and on the implications of the emerging WTO regime in their light.

Sayona Mining to bid for North American Lithium in Canada
19 September 2019	(Last Updated July 2nd, 2020 14:11)
Australian lithium miner Sayona Mining has announced plans to participate in the bidding process for the North American Lithium (NAL) operation in Québec, Canada, following a Court ruling commencing an asset sale process.
NAL has a lithium mine and concentrator located in Abitibi near the mining district of Val d'Or, Québec.
NAL halted spodumene production this February. Subsequently, creditor protection was obtained in May and the Quebec Superior Court invited bids for the assets.
Sayona intends to restart mining and milling of the lithium mine, provided it is selected as the bidder in the NAL operation.
Sayona managing director Brett Lynch said: "NAL's operation has unrealised potential and Sayona would welcome the opportunity to bring the world-class experience of our company and our partners towards revitalising the mine.
"This could facilitate the development of a hub for lithium extraction and downstream processing in Abitibi, which is ideally positioned to participate in the growth of the North American battery sector.''
In addition, Saynona's nearby Authier lithium project is currently in the process of securing the necessary regulatory approvals. There are chances that the project could be integrated, thereby enhancing operational improvements.
Lynch added: "Québec needs a successful operation at NAL and we are keen to lead a turnaround plan, taking into account the interests of all stakeholders, including NAL employees, subcontractors, local and provincial government, First Nations and other local community members."
In May 2016, Sayona Mining signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the Authier lithium deposit from Glen Eagle Resources.

Q: Mouse wheel in python curses Does anyone know if it is possible to process the mouse wheel movements in curses? I suppose they should be the same as the arrow keys. An example would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

A: I'd guess it's system- and terminal-dependent. I wrote the following -- it just captures mouse states and prints them to the screen. I was able to receive mouse scroll events in Mac OSX using xterm. (Scrolling up registered as button 4 for me; down as button 2 -- but it didn't work using the native Terminal app.)
As will become clear if you look over this code, you have to use scr.getch() first, and test if it returns curses.KEY_MOUSE. If so, you can then call curses.getmouse(), which returns a tuple containing a device id, coordinates, and a state flag.
import curses
from contextlib import contextmanager

@contextmanager

    scr = curses.initscr()
    curses.noecho()

    finally:
        curses.nocbreak()
        scr.keypad(0)
        curses.echo()
        curses.endwin()

curses_mouse_states = {
    curses.BUTTON1_PRESSED: 'Button 1 Pressed',
