Tensions between Emmanuel Macron and France's popular economy minister Bruno Le Maire have spilled out into the public sphere in recent weeks.

By Clea Caulcutt and Giorgio Leali
PARIS — France's Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire's Elysée palace ambitions have long been an open secret in Paris' political circles, but his recent squabbles with the French president have raised speculation that the popular minister is trying to overshadow Emmanuel Macron.
In recent weeks, the economy minister has increasingly drawn attention for going solo and ignoring instructions from Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne's office on making public statements.
In true French-style, one clash kicked off over boulangers.
In a rare public display of tensions earlier this month, Macron criticized the economy ministry's efforts to help bakers facing sky-high energy bills in what was read as a rebuke directed at Le Maire. During a press conference, Macron slammed a government helpline set up by Le Maire's ministry.

"I tried the number for the helpline I was given, and guess what? It doesn't work. I'm fed up with the helplines all over the place," he told a group of bakers gathered at the Elysée palace.
The French president, who is known to run a tight ship, was irritated that Le Maire rushed ahead and announced several measures to support bakers, help that Macron was planning to announce himself, several Elysée Palace advisors told Playbook Paris. Speaking on French television, Le Maire didn't deny that he might have been the target of Macron's comments.
Reports of Macron losing his temper during cabinet meetings are familiar fare in French politics, but rarely have disagreements played out in public.
"In politics you have to put your ego, your susceptibility aside," Macron told BFMTV after the spat. "Our fellow Frenchmen are not interested in whether there are difficulties between one person or another," he noted.
The altercation between the president and his minister made the rounds in political circles. Aurore Bergé, the head of Macron's party Renaissance in parliament, summed up Le Maire's attitude to Macron on this issue more crudely: "Basically he's saying 'I'm Bruno Le Maire and screw you'."
This is not the first time Le Maire has triggered Macron and his loyalists, who note that the economy minister frequently ignores the prime minister's office and actively cultivates his own networks of lawmakers and politicians.
"The president doesn't like it when someone isn't a team player and tries to grab the limelight, so he put [Le Maire] back in his place. We've only got four or five years to prove ourselves and some are already thinking about what comes next," said a government advisor commenting on recent tensions inside the government.
"Bruno Le Maire has never abandoned the idea that he will become president. He is a loyal minister but he thinks he has the same stature as Macron," he said.
Le Maire 2.0
A graduate of France's prestigious school for the political classes, L'École Nationale d'Administration, Le Maire spent his life in the corridors of power, quickly rising through the ranks of the French government to hold several ministerial posts. Le Maire served as the secretary of state for European affairs and the minister for agriculture under former President Nicolas Sarkozy, who used to refer to him as "Baby Bruno" — a dig at a perceived rival.
The fluent German-speaker also enjoys a reputation as a cultured man, who quotes Aristotle at press conferences and takes pride in being a friend of writer Michel Houellebecq. In his spare time, Le Maire writes novels (the rumor mill has it that he even wrote cheap romance novels under the pseudonym "Duc William" when he was a student).

His perceived global standing could be an asset in a future presidential race. The powerful minister has built up an international reputation in European capitals and in Brussels where he has embodied Paris' interventionist approach on industrial policy. His tax fight against American Big Tech and his tough language against the U.S. also made him a key player in the turbulent transatlantic relationship.
Polls show that Le Maire is the most popular minister in Macron's government and that he became even more popular after successfully shepherding France through the Coronavirus pandemic when he defended massive aid measures to help businesses and consumers wade through the crisis.
Le Maire heads one of the government's largest and most crucial ministries, which includes the industry and digital portfolios, and as one of the few heavyweights around Macron, he's in pole position for succession.
"On the center-right and the right of the political spectrum — where Le Maire is positioning himself — you need to show you can master the economics," said Harris Interactive pollster Jean-Daniel Lévy.
"He's playing 'the reliability' card… He's also trying to discreetly develop his own voice, he's not quite on the same line as Emmanuel Macron when he calls for the end of the government's whatever-it-takes principle," he said referring to the termination of post-COVID-19 subsidies.
Among the key challenges Le Maire would face as a contender for the top job would be the need to shed his image as a big spender during the pandemic — if he wants to convince voters he would be a steady hand at the helm. In his New Year's address, Le Maire called for the end of the "boozing on public spending, that leads to a hangover of interest rates" while Macron has been more wary of cutting subsidies too abruptly.
Macron cannot run for a third term and, while he's barely into his second term, the succession race is already being discussed openly in Paris' corridors of power. The next election is set for 2027 and hopefuls for the highest office include the former Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin and Macron ally François Bayrou.
If the economy minister does decide to run for the French presidency in 2027, this wouldn't be his first go at the biggest prize in French politics. As a rising star of the former conservative UMP party, Le Maire suffered a humiliating defeat in the party's primaries in 2016, landing just 2.4 percent of the votes, giving credence to those who say he lacks charisma and the qualities for France's highest office.
Now, he hopes to return as the battle-hardened politician who successfully steered France through turbulent times. In private, Le Maire discusses with journalists the lessons learnt since his failed presidential bid and what his priorities would be in forming a government.
In September, Le Maire was nominated to work on the manifesto of Macron's Renaissance party, a role that positioned him as one of the likely heirs to Macron's movement.
But his top-of-the-class image could prove to be a disadvantage in a possible duel with another conservative heavyweight — Philippe — who is now mayor of the coastal city of Le Havre. Le Maire constantly ranks as the most popular minister in Macron's government, said Matthieu Gallard, research director at polling firm Ipsos, but Philippe is more popular than him.
"Philippe and Le Maire have nearly the same positions. Le Maire has more of a technocratic aura while Philippe is perceived as closer to local people," said Gallard.
Le Maire is hoping to walk in the footsteps of his predecessor at the economy ministry — none other than Macron. But with four years to go until the 2027 showdown, a looming recession and an ongoing war in Ukraine, walking the talk may prove harder than expected.

Diversity policies and programs continue to be a prominent yet problematic feature of organizational life. This study explored tensions arising as 30 employees talk about their experience with Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), Affirmative Action (AA), and diversity in a midwestern human service organization. Tensions related to fairness and fear emerged as interpretive themes prompting majority group members to avoid interacting about racial differences and minority group members to do the work of making difference meaningful. We argue that formal policies and diversity programs be reimagined so as to ease interaction constraints between groups.

Back to the Minors: Icemen a 'hot ticket' as first season wraps up this week
Back to the Minors is our weekly look at the awesome minor league teams that call Jacksonville home. This week, the Icemen wrap up a successful year one and its time to play ball for the Jumbo Shrimp and Sharks.

Wednesday was team picture day and the Jacksonville Icemen were in a good mood. The team, while not as successful on-ice as some would have hoped, has been a smashing success in their first year on the First Coast. The team ranks 4th in the 27 team ECHL in attendance going into the regular season's last weekend, an average of nearly 5,700 fans packing the lower bowl at Veterans Memorial Arena in a city not known as a hockey hotbed until now.
"A lot has come together and there are a lot more hockey fans than most people thought living in this area." Icemen president and part-owner Bob Ohrablo told me just after he posed for pictures with his team.

"The experience in Jacksonville is amazing, the fan support. We struggled at the start of the year and they still stood by us. I thought it was one of the best rinks I've ever played in." Icemen captain Garrett Hunt told me.
The Icemen franchise itself took last year off. Before that, they had played in the Evansville, Indiana area before Ohrablo's group decided to bring the team to Jacksonville.
"A lot of players that we play against that come here and play always tell me Wow ... what a great atmosphere it is here." Hunt said.
It's not just the fans that have embraced the move.
"The business community has been outstanding. We have a large segment of our season ticket base that are corporate season tickets. We do a lot of work with the businesses that buy sponsorships and corporate season tickets to make sure they start doing business with eachother." Ohrablo said.
Ohrablo also cited the success of the team's promotions including a "Military Weekend" and "Faith and Family weekend" for bringing out big crowds. He also talked about their unique partnership with their neighbors from across A. Phillip Randolph Boulevard, the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. The team hosted a Jumbo Shrimp night and sold out of "Jacksonville Frozen Shrimp" t-shirts.
"That was a great night here. Ken Babby's a huge hockey fan as are most of the guys that work at the Shrimp. We are looking forward to them having a great season and for Icemen night at the Jumbo Shrimp."
While admitting year one exceeded his expectations, Ohrablo says they are just getting started and are expecting even bigger crowds in year two. Once the offseason starts, his focus will be on making the Icemen an even stronger presence in the community.
"This is my 33rd season in hockey and I gotta tell you, I'm not just saying this, this is the most fun I've ever had." Ohrablo said.
The Icemen host the Florida Everblades on Thursday and Friday night at Veterans Memorial Arena before concluding their season Saturday in Fort Myers against the same team. Tickets start at $10 and can be bought here.
News and Notes:
Speaking of the Jumbo Shrimp, Jacksonville's baseball team opens the season on Thursday in Jackson, Tennessee with a road series against the Generals. Their home opener at the Baseball Grounds is Wednesday April 11 against Mobile with a fireworks show to follow. Last year's home opener sold out and the team expects to sell out again. Tickets start at $5 and are available here. The 2018 edition features several top Marlins prospects including the team's #2 prospect Monte Harrison, an outfield they received as part of the trade for all-star (and former Jacksonville Suns player) Christian Yelich.
The home opener, presented by @FirehouseSubs is ONE week away!

Its playoff time for the Jacksonville Giants as the team participates in the ABA championship tournament in Austin, Texas. The ABA tournament started Tuesday and the Giants were set to play their quarterfinal game on Wednesday evening. The ABA title game is Saturday.
The Jacksonville Sharks also get their season started this weekend with a Saturday road game at the Carolina Cobras in Greensboro. The arena football team opens their home season on Saturday April 14 against Massachusetts at 7 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Arena. Tickets are available for the Sharks 2018 season here.
Its been a big week for the Jacksonville Armada as well. The team, which will compete in the National Premiere Soccer League this season, will get to compete in the U.S. Open Cup tournament. The Open Cup features teams at all levels from Major League Soccer to amateur leagues. The Armada will participate in a play-in game against Villages FC from near Orlando in early May. The Armada's participation was not a sure thing until last Friday, when U.S. Soccer announced Jacksonville, along with fellow former NASL franchises Miami F.C. and New York Cosmos, would be allowed in to the annual Cup event.

Brandon began archery in his Senior year at UCSD after watching the 2016 Summer Olympics. Before, Brandon didn't know that archery had a competitive side. However, after watching the Olympics, he came to the realization that archery was just as competitive as other sports, thus spurring his interest.
His favorite part of being a member of SGA is the community. He says, "Everyone is really cool, inviting and accepting, and great friends." Brandon also participated in SGA's first Family Program. Belonging to the "Team Jason" family, Brandon created many close bonds with other club members that he wouldn't have been able to make without it.
In his first tournament, State Indoor, nervousness prevented Brandon from shooting his best. However, after more practicing and many hours of dedication, Brandon pushed himself to become the best archer he could be. Finally, in the team's last Collegiate tournament, Brandon excelled in both the individual and team portions of the National Outdoor Collegiate Championships (NOCC), which was held in Chula Vista and co-hosted by SGA and the Easton Archery Center of Excellence.
As a side note, if one were to randomly ask for his quiver preference… "Field quivers all day er day!" would be his response!


Original illustration by Caro Bernardini .
As many developers might agree, that is quite a handicap as "random" not only helps aid visual animations, but is also necessary for adding a level of realism to the animations. To make things even worse, the QA tool that Google/DoubleClick uses (at the time of writing) does not take an entirely informed approach at scanning the code. It simply searches your code for the word "Random". So even variable names like "randomAmount" had to be changed to "ranAmount" in order to pass their testing tool.
At first this seemed a daunting task, potentially impossible to accomplish without sacrificing the integrity of the animations. Especially since it was the Oxfam: You Are What You Give campaign which has a lot of character animations, and details like flies randomly moving around in the background.
There are a few other posts ranting about this specific problem, along with even less solutions which tended to be half-baked. This left us with some theories on how to solve it, but nothing solid, so we set off to create a solution.
Pre-Fill an array with as many "random" numbers as you please.
Keep an index of which number you used last.
Grab the next number from the array each time you call the function.
More advanced users may want to throw this in a separate Class file, but for simplicity sake, you can simply copy this code and paste it into your actions.
// this is your array that you can fill up with as many random number as you want.
// use the modulo % operator to reduce the number to within the range of whatever the user sent in.
// increase the position in the array that we are at.

The International Development Committee and why it matters
Naveed Chaudhri
Parliament is often thought of as an antiquated institution, but one of its bodies we engage with most often is even younger than most of our staff and campaigners: 2017 marks the twentieth anniversary of the creation of the International Development Committee (IDC).
While there had been a government minister dedicated to overseas development for a number of years, their status fluctuated between governments of different political persuasions – at times overseeing a Ministry of Overseas Development and at others sitting as a junior minister at the Foreign Office.
1997 marked a significant change when Tony Blair's Labour Government created the new Department for International Development (DFID) with its own cabinet-level Secretary of State. To ensure that this new Department was held to account, the House of Commons responded by creating a Select Committee to mirror it – and so the IDC was born.
As an investigative Committee, the IDC sets its own programme rather than scrutinising legislation that is going through parliament. While its remit to examine the policy, administration and spending of DFID has remained the same over twenty years, its inquiries have been diverse.

Recent inquiries have covered specific issues such as Ebola: responses to a public health emergency and Crisis in Yemen as well as big broad topics like the Sustainable Development Goals and more thematic areas such as DFID's work on education: leaving no one behind? and DFID's work on HIV/AIDS, which RESULTS UK submitted written evidence to.
For each inquiry, the IDC develops terms of reference and invites written submissions before taking oral evidence from a range of invited witnesses – including DFID and its ministers.
The Committee's clerks (its apolitical permanent staff - not to be confused with the Committee Clerk, who is the most senior of the clerks and effectively the Committee's CEO) guide Members through each inquiry, providing and compiling briefings, gathering evidence and then drafting a report that contains recommendations for DFID.
Such reports are more than just a formality: they can be used to commend and/or criticise DFID and encourage policy and behaviourial change. For example, in 2014 the IDC held an inquiry into Disability and Development. It was no coincidence that later that year DFID published its first ever Disability Framework.
The clerks are there to support the MPs; the IDC's 11 cross-party Members agree its inquiries, question witnesses at oral evidence session, partake in overseas delegations and agree its reports. The chairmanship of the Committee currently sits with Labour – all Select Committee chairs are divided up between political parties depending on their size in the Commons, and MPs are then able to vote in a ballot for each. Stephen Twigg, who RESULTS UK campaigners met at our National Conference last year, was elected as Chair in 2015.
Notwithstanding its relative youth, the IDC has certainly found its feet, proving itself to be a proactive and productive Select Committee; last year, for example, Stephen Twigg called on the UK to stop selling arms to Saudi Arabia that may be used in Yemen. The changing aid landscape presents challenges, however.
By 2030 around 30% of the UK's aid budget is due to be spent by departments other than DFID. The IDC recently launched its UK aid: other government departments inquiry with a view to ensuring mechanisms are in place so that spending remains transparent, accountable and committed to poverty reduction.
The specific role of the IDC in this shifting landscape is yet to be determined but its resourcefulness to date suggests it will be integral to holding the government to account on development.

If you're interesting in the long, under-celebrated history of American soccer, I can't recommend enough the uploads from Youtube user "soccermavn." There are old ads, footage of NASL's glory days, and even video of the short-lived United Soccer Association. (Update: He apparently got lots of these tapes from Dave Wasser's massive collection.) And yesterday, he uploaded something special: 33 seconds of the 1924 U.S. Open Cup Final.
Fall River Marksmen, champions of the American Soccer League, travelled to St. Louis to face Vesper Buick, champions of the St. Louis Soccer League. Before a crowd of 14,000 at High School Field, the Marksmen completed their "double" with a 4-2 win. The match was tied 1:1 at the half, but Fall River prevailed on a brace by Fred Morley and goals from Johnny Reid and Harold Brittan. Harris (whose goal is captured on film) and McCarthy scored for the St. Louis team. Findlay Kerr notched the win in goal for Fall River; Labarge manned the pipes for the losers.
As near as I can tell, this footage is excised from a Movietone or Pathe newsreel from the era. Alas, the raw footage of the complete match is probably long gone.
While the music abruptly ends, the fact is this is all of the footage.
My research has suggested that Thomas Cahill—former USSF Secretary—independently filmed many St. Louis league matches.
A Youtube commenter brings up an important point: Soccer lore holds that Arsenal and Chelsea were the first teams to wear numbers on their kits, starting in the 1928 season, but Vesper Buick were apparently doing it at least four years earlier.

Top 10 Charlie Rose Interviews of Film Directors and Actors
We have a confession to make that at LearnOutLoud.com we are huge movie buffs! And with the Oscars coming up on Sunday we had to feature some free videos on the movies. Recently we added over 350 of the best interviews from Charlie Rose show:
350 of the Best Charlie Rose Interviews on LearnOutLoud.com
Lucky for us Charlie Rose is a huge movie buff and he conducts the best interviews with film actors and directors. Charlie's interviews go beyond the generic interviews that actors and directors usually do to promote their movies, and he asks the great questions that film aficionados want to hear. We've picked out 10 interviews of the most popular movie actors along with 10 interviews of the most popular film directors and have watched these interviews and given you the inside scoop on what they're all about. Enjoy these interviews and Hooray for Hollywood! Here are the ten actor interviews we picked:
1. An Interview with Sylvester Stallone
In this interview with actor, writer, and director Sylvester Stallone, Charlie Rose traces the action icon's career; from humble origins making Rocky to his peak as one of the highest paid actors of all time. This discussion catches Stallone at a point when he was seeking out work that went against the macho typecasting that came to dominate his screen persona for over 30 years. We also get insight on what attracted him to the arts at an early age, how luck played an instrumental role in his success, and why he can't help controlling a set.
2. An Hour Remembrance of Actor Jack Lemmon
In this hour-long remembrance of Jack Lemmon, Charlie Rose shares two interviews he conducted with the beloved actor of stage and screen. Here Lemmon shares memories of films such as Some Like it Hot, The Apartment, and Days of Wine and Roses, and he reflects on his onscreen chemistry with real-life friend Walter Matthau. He also talks candidly about his acting method, the turbulent relationship he had with his father, his love of the piano, and what he learned from failure.
3. A Conversation with Meryl Streep
In this Charlie Rose special featuring Meryl Streep, she talks about her entire acting career. This special presentation features clips from many of the movies she has been in along with comments from interviews with director Mike Nichols and prominent film critics praising her roles. Streep discusses the many roles she has inhabited along with her thoughts on drama vs. comedy. It's a very enjoyable interview with one of cinema's most beloved and honored film actresses.
4. An Interview with Harrison Ford
Actor Harrison Ford talks for an hour about a lucrative screen career that blew up with Star Wars in the late 70s and made him one of the biggest box-office draws in film history. Hailing originally from Chicago, Ford flunked out of college and moved out West, where he meandered for a few years taking bit TV roles while moonlighting as a carpenter. After early key roles for George Lucas, he was catapulted to fame on the strength of a heroic mold that he later found hard to shake as he took on more complex pet projects.
5. A Conversation with Denzel Washington
Denzel Washington talks with Charlie Rose about his prolific movie acting career in this interview, from his winding path to become an actor all the way up to his 2000 Golden Globe win for the film The Hurricane. Washington talks about The Hurricane and what he put into the role. He also discusses the variety of roles he has picked and the many great directors he has worked with. His films have opened doors for him to become good friends with Nelson Mandela and many other prominent figures.
6. An Hour with Actor Sean Penn
Charlie Rose flies out to California to sit down with actor Sean Penn for an hour. Penn talks about his love/hate relationship with acting and why he prefers writing. He reveals some of the film artists he admires such as John Cassavetes, Marlon Brando, and Jack Nicholson. Penn expresses what he feels cinema should do as an art form and why he is frustrated with the state of commercial movies in America. He also talks about his disdain for paparazzi and the invasion of privacy they present for people in the public eye. Throughout the interview Charlie and Sean have some good laughs.
7. An Hour with Filmmaker Robert Redford
Actor, director, and activist Robert Redford rose to prominence in the 1970s as both a leading man and progressive advocate. Here he talks about his early origins in theatre, the key movies that led to his success, and how his acting career opened up other paths for him as a director and founder of the Sundance Film Festival. Throughout his career, Redford has been notable for leveraging his star-power to help raise visibility on a wide range of concerns, such as environmentalism, Native American rights, and political corruption.
8. A Conversation with Actor Bill Murray
Actor Bill Murray sits down with Charlie Rose and talks about his career in comedy films including the one he had just made Rushmore. Murray talks about his selection process for picking his next role and how certain scripts including Groundhog's Day and Rushmore were so good that he had to do them. Bill Murray discusses how the great directors are usually soft spoken on set and the bad ones are loud and obnoxious yelling out things like, "Do it again and don't scratch your noise this time!"
9. An Hour with Actor Michael Douglas
As part of an acting legacy, Michael Douglas found it hard at times to define himself outside of the long shadow cast by his father, screen legend Kirk Douglas. After achieving early Oscar recognition at age 30 for producing with One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, it wasn't until a later, career-defining turn in Fatal Attraction that Douglas gained momentum as an actor. Here he talks about the different hats he's worn on both sides of the camera, reflects on his changing relationship with his father, and digs into a hard period where he was admitted into rehab.
10. An Hour with Actor Michael J. Fox
This one isn't much about acting but it's a great interview. In 2002 Michael J. Fox sat down with Charlie Rose for an hour. Michael J. Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991 and went public with his condition in 1998. In this interview Fox talks about the whole process of accepting his disease to his eventual creation of the Michael J. Fox Foundation which is seeking a cure for Parkinson's disease. He relays many stories that he wrote in his 2002 memoir Lucky Man including his acting attempts to cover up Parkinson's which eventually he could no longer hide. He provides words of wisdom for people diagnosed with any disease and tells a truly inspirational story.
Next up we're featuring 10 great interviews that Charlie Rose has conducted with film directors. A few interviews are conducted with people who knew the filmmaker closely for the great directors Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick. Enjoy these interviews with some of cinema's great artists.
1. An Hour with Filmmaker George Lucas
George Lucas sits down for an hour long conversation with Charlie Rose in this interview and chronologically goes through his moviemaking career from his days at USC film school up to creating the Star Wars prequels. He talks about his financial and technological struggles to get his visions on the big screen and how he has finally attained financial independence as an artist to create the movies he wants to make without having to answer to anyone. George also passes on his wisdom about storytelling, education, artistry, and parenting.
2. A Conversation about Alfred Hitchcock
As the undisputed "Master of Suspense", Alfred Hitchcock left behind a large body of work that continually explored the darker depths of the human heart. Here, Charlie Rose talks with the director's daughter Patricia along with noted film director/historian Peter Bogdanovich on the centennial of his Hitchcock's birth. Topics include Hitchcock's dogged attention to detail, his writing methods, which films of his own he preferred best, and where he ranks with the great masters of cinema history.
3. An Hour with Filmmaker James Cameron
Known as "Iron Jim" to friends and critics alike, James Cameron rose from humble beginnings as a truck driver to become the "King of the World" with his mega-blockbuster Titanic. Here Charlie Rose talks with the director at length about what went into making the most expensive film ever made, and how he managed to balance historical fact with romantic fiction. Cameron's talent for managing complex productions that still strike a chord with a broad audience has made him one of the most successful filmmakers in the modern era; a feat no less incredible when you consider how much his ambition grows from picture to picture.
4. A Discussion with Steve Jobs and John Lasseter
Capturing a key moment in history, this interview with Steve Jobs and John Lassetter catches both visionaries at the birth of what would become the most successful animation studio in recent history. After purchasing Pixar in 1986, shortly after his initial ouster from Apple, Jobs helped shepherd Lassetter and his team towards the first digitally animated movie, Toy Story, a box-office success that was followed by a string of hits that has not let up to date. Watch for an interesting moment near the end where Jobs tactfully dodges Charlie Rose's question about a possible return to Apple; and even that actually did come to pass later that same year!
5. An Interview with Quentin Tarantino
Coming off the wild success of his independent film breakout hit Pulp Fiction, super cool film director Quentin Tarantino sits down with Charlie Rose and talks about his craft and where his career is going to go from here. Tarantino talks about his childhood watching movies and his days as a video store clerk. He discusses his unorthodox way of storytelling, his method of writing, and his love of following the careers of film directors of which he mentions his favorites. Finally he talks about his first two films Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Watch film geek Tarantino enthusiastically riff on his love of movies.
6. An Hour about the Life and Work of Filmmaker Stanley Kubrick
With a photographer's eye, a philosopher's curiosity, and a searing intellect, Stanley Kubrick's films have cut a distinctive path through cinematic history with a scope that is still hard to estimate. Here Charlie Rose talks with the late director's widow Christiane, his lifelong friend Jan Harland, and adds modern master Martin Scorsese into the mix to round out the table. Christiane Kubrick provides heartwarming insight on their marriage, while Harland and Scorsese weigh in on why Kubrick's films such as 2001, The Shining, and Dr. Strangelove continue to provoke, compel, and stimulate new generations of filmgoers.
7. A Conversation with Roman Polanski
In this interview, filmmaker Roman Polanski speaks about filmmaking, personal tragedy, and the legal trouble that has kept him from returning to the United States. Charlie Rose does not shy away from confronting the director of such classics as Rosemary's Baby and Chinatown on why he hasn't faced the legal ramifications of a rape charge that made him flee for Europe in 1977. Polanski also reflects on the loss of his mother at Auschwitz, his lonely childhood in war-torn Poland, losing his wife in the Manson family murders, and his current life as a French citizen.
8. An Interview with Oliver Stone
Director Oliver Stone is known for his political and historical films and in this interview with Charlie Rose, Stone talks about his film Nixon. Stone gives us his interpretation of the man Nixon and covers some of the more controversial aspects of his film. He also gives us his philosophy on drama and its ability to convey the shadow side of history which is often not the version put into the history books. Get a history lesson from Oliver Stone with this hour long talk about Nixon.
9. A Talk with Director Tim Burton
Director Tim Burton talks with Charlie Rose about his recent film and art exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. In the first 10 minutes MOMA's exhibit curators talk about putting on the exhibition. Then Burton discusses some of his sketches and talks about how he went from being a weird and quiet teenager to a filmmaker extraordinaire. Burton talks about his love of masks and how they bring out new aspects in his performers such as with Jack Nicholson made up as the Joker in his film Batman or Johnny Depp in the wide variety of outfits he has suited up for in many Burton films. Burton feels that all kids are artists and doodlers up to about age 12, but then for various reason these creative instincts are suppressed as people get older, and both Tim and Charlie find this unfortunate.
10. A Conversation with German Film Director Werner Herzog
German film director Werner Herzog sits down with Charlie Rose in this 23 minute interview and discusses his prolific filmmaking career. Herzog gives some insight into the making of his film Fitzcarraldo about which he recently published his personal diaries in a book called Conquest of the Useless. He talks about his philosophy of filmmaking and his search for the "ecstatic truth" when it comes to the many documentaries that he has shot over the years. Herzog also addresses his talent for bringing out the best in actors such as his unique gift for harnessing the talent of German actor Klaus Kinski.
Enjoy these and many, many more great shows from the modern master of interviews, Mr. Charlie Rose:

Hello everyone. Over the past few weeks i have been playing with MongoDB. I would like to share with all of you what i learn so far. So let`s get started.
MongoDB stores the document on the disk in BSON format. BSON is binary representation of JSON documents. You can find more information about BSON here.
Now we are all set to connect to MongoDB database. To connect to database open the command prompt and type the following command.
As you can see in image (F: 3) the server process has started and waiting for connection on port number 27017. This is the default port for MongoDB. We can change this port number by specifying –port option while connecting to the server. We can also install MongoDB as a windows service. To install MongoDB as a windows service execute the following command in command prompt.
–dbpath parameter is used to specify the custom data directory.
-logpath parameter is used to specify path for a log file to store the standard output.
-logappend parameter is used to specify that append the new entries to the end of the file instead of overwriting the content of log file when mongod instance restart.
As you can see in image (F: 4) that service has been installed successfully and we can start the service using command "net start MongoDB". So let's execute this command in command prompt.
Great! We have now successfully installed MongoDB as a windows service (F:5). We can cross check that the service has been started in Windows Local Services (F: 6).
As the server process has started, we can now connect to the database using mongo shell (mongo.exe). So let's do it. We can start the mongo shell by typing mongo in command prompt. When we hit enter we will be prompted with blank window and a blinking cursor as shown in image below (F: 7).
MongoDB shell version in image (F: 7) specifies that we are using 3.0.1 version of MongoDB and connecting to specifies that we are connected to test database. In my next post we will discuss about the CRUD (Create Read Update Delete) operation in MongoDB.


Kidz Co. learning Center's are located conveniently on James Street just down the road from the Cowichan Aquatic Center and Library. We are close to many major businesses and facilities in Duncan, making us easily accessible for busy moms and dads. We offer plenty of parking for pick up or drop off and have an awesome playground that your children will enjoy. We are also close enough to most of our valley schools which makes our After School Program accessible throughout our school district.


Tomas Alfredson: Yes, very. I was much more so, I think. Peter wasn't too worried, but I was very reverential about the book and was very nervous about taking a foot off the path. So it was just very good that John le Carré was there to push us off the path and tell us to do something different.
J: Can you each tell us about your first encounter with the book, if you had read it a long time ago? Did either of you?
PS: I'd read it, yeah. And Bridget had read it years earlier and loved it. In the UK, it's considered one of the greatest novels of the 20th century, let alone spy novels. And then we read it again when we were asked to come in to discuss adapting it. Which made us quite nervous. [Laughs.] You read it, and…it's quite a difficult book to adapt!
J: Because it's so well known, or because of the complexity…?
PS: Because of the complexity. Because it's quite an interior story. So much of it takes place in Smiley's mind and Smiley's memory. And also because, in the UK, it's a holy cow. As is the TV series. So there was a sense of…I think we were maybe the only writers who rushed in and said, "Okay, we'll do it!" Everyone else would say, "No, we don't want to do it!" [Laughs.] Fools rushing in where angels fear to tread.
TA: I think it's…very much about not deciding, "Okay, I want to do this," but it's about, "I want to start working on this, to start the process." And early on, it was…I remembered the old TV series and the reading of the book, but also meeting with the actual persons, with Peter and Bridget and le Carré and the producers, who are very nice people. To do a scary thing like this, you need to be encouraged, and if you're surrounded by encouraging people who you trust, it's much easier.


While a beautiful rustic vine covered home has an indescribable charm, there is a lot of work that goes into caring for these kinds of climbing plants. Not only that, but not every homeowner has the proper equipment or savoir faire that it takes to do the job themselves. However, there are a few things that you can do as a homeowner to make sure that your vines grow beautifully without causing damage to your home's structure. In this article, we're going to give you a few tips on how to care for a vine covered house properly.
Before we start, it's important to understand how vines grow to know what kind of damage to expect. Most vines usually attach themselves to the structure via clinging roots, twining tendrils or sticky pads. Twining tendrils usually cause less damage, but they can also twine around windows or other fixtures around the house. Sticky pads and clinging roots are a lot more problematic and can insert themselves inside the brickwork of the house, which can lead to significant damage.
The best way to minimize damage is to choose types of vines that will cause the least damage possible to your home's structure. Virginia creeper and Boston Ivy are two examples of vines that use twinkling roots to cling to structures. English ivy should be avoided at all costs as it is known for being intrusive and using deep clinging roots to attach itself to the structure. If you want a flowering look, go for Clematis; this looks stunning in the spring and is non intrusive.
The best way to safely grow vines is on a trellis. Vines will usually grow around the trellis which will prevent the vine from sticking directly to the home's structure. However, remember that you'll probably need to use scaffolding to prune the top of your vine after it grows past a certain point. Make sure that you trim vines clear from doors, windows, drainpipes and gutters as soon as they come close. Failure to do so may result in significant leakage and rotting.
It's very important that the support or trellis is at a far enough distance from the house to prevent the vines from sticking to it. Six inches is far enough to prevent vines from attaching themselves to the structure. Some trellis has a hinge at the lower part that allows it to be moved when comes the time to make renovations or repainting the house.
And if you want a fully covered look, there are some supports that are created especially for this reason.
A vine can add a romantic charm to any home, as long as you take care of it properly and take the steps necessary to make sure that it doesn't damage the structure. Make sure to pick your vines wisely, use the proper safety precautions and use a trellis or support to prevent vines from growing directly on the house.

I am able to run sample programs given in hadoop-mapreduce-examples-2.0.0-cdh4.0.0.jar.
But I am getting this error when my job is submitted successfully to jobtracker . Looks like it is trying to access local file-system again (Although I have set all the required libraries for job execution in distributed cache still its trying to access local dir). Is this issues related to user privileges ?

Instead I think with new APIS we are using ->

For running Hive job

export HIVE_USER=yarn

A: Debug procedure: Try running simple Hadoop shell commands.

hadoop fs -ls /

If this shows the HDFS files then your configuration is correct. If not, then the configuration is missing. When this happens hadoop shell command like -ls will refer to local filesystem and not Hadoop file system.
This happens if Hadoop is started using CMS (Cloudera manager). It does not explicitly stores the configuration in conf directory.
Check if hadoop file system is displayed by following command (change port):

hadoop fs -ls hdfs://host:8020/

If it displays local file system when you submit the path as / then you should set the configuration files hdfs-site.xml and mapred-site.xml in configuration directory. Also hdfs-site.xml should have the entry for fs.default.name pointing to hdfs://host:port/. In my case the directory is /etc/hadoop/conf.
See: http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.2/core-default.html
See, if this resolves your issue.


Do you want a canopy that FLIES GREAT and has LESS VOLUME? Those features and more are found in the FLiK LV and FOX LV BASE parachute.
The FLiK LV and FOX LV BASE canopies use the same traditional fabric (0-3 cfm aka F-111) but the reinforcement scheme has been redesigned to reduce bulk without sacrificing performance.
The original FOX and FLIK BASE parachutes were over built using readily available reinforcement tapes. The LV canopies use a lighter tape (commonly found in skydiving reserves) to provide most of the interior reinforcement on the load bearing ribs and bottom surface span wise. All leading edge (nose) tape remain unchanged to provide durability where it is needed. Tape was removed in areas the original canopies where overbuilt including the D-line span wise, stabilizers and two locations on the top surface.
Bulk has also been reduced in the lines. The Lite uses 400 pound Dacron line (instead of the 525). All of these changes create a BASE parachute that packs about 12% smaller and weighs about 8% less. Some will choose the FLiK LV or FOX LV because it "Flies Great" while others because it's "Less Volume" We think it's a little of both.

Q: send the dta afrom azure blob container to azure function using azure datafactory activity I have copied data to azure blob container using the copy activity.i was able to use that to trigger my azure function using Blob trigger.However my req is to call the azure function activity that can be configured in azure datafactory pipeline.to that i need to pass the blob container path so that the azure function based on the HTTP trigger can read from this path.Blob trigger works but isnt allowed.Any idea as to how to get the path of the container and pass it to the azure function activity?
Edit:-
i added this

And the output of the path in the request sent to the HTTPTrigger of azure func looks like this

This is where i need the fully formed path post the copy say folder/myfolder/2010/10/01
However i dont.

-----------------------UPDATE----------------------------------------------------
this is the sink dataset

with the connection of the dataset(sink)like this

and my copypipeline looks like this

ran the debug and the copy instead of folder/myfolder/2020/10/01 gives folder/myfolder/@variables('data')

A: According to the description of your question, it seems you do not know the target blob path of the "Copy" activity. I guess you use pipeline parameter to input the blob path in your data factory. Something like below:

So in the HTTP trigger function request body, you just need to choose the testPath.

If your function request body need to be like {"path":"xxx"}, you can use "concat()" function in data factory to join the string together.

Is the purpose of the venturi device on the bottom of the pump to pull in cool fluid and mix it with the warm motor coolant reducing the temperature and vapor pressure? Must be. What's the silver thing for? Vacuum breaker?
Can't get the pictures to load, sorry. Hopefully you know what I'm talking about. The venturi is a little plastic device attached at the bottom of the pump. The driver looks to be motor coolant return and it pulls from the bucket. The silver thing is a top hat shaped about 1" metal device mounted on top of the bucket with a dip tube going about half way down.

Normally, the purpose of a venturi is to pull fuel into your bucket preventing pump starvation and can double as cooling the pump. Put up some pics. Im interested to see inside one of these. Without seeing it, I will bet the "silver" thing is your pressure regulator.
For some reason I can't get pictures to upload. Browse, select, upload, nothing. Anyway, the venturi definitely does not pull from outside the bucket. I took the metal piece out, it is connected to the top of the cooling can which is fed from pump discharge and exhausts down into the bucket. Must be overpressure protection. The pressure is controlled on demand by the PWM, correct?
Fuel Pressure is WAY Low! Regulator? Pump?


Do you want to look ten years younger without having actual surgery?
Do you want to look ten years younger without having actual surgery? Known as America's Holistic Plastic Surgeon™, Dr. Youn is the rare plastic surgeon who does everything he can to keep his patients out of the operating room. He's spent the past 16 years researching the secrets of plastic surgeons, dermatologists, makeup artists, and dietitians, and he knows what works, what doesn't, and what's overpriced. Now he's compiled all of the solutions to every cosmetic aging problem in this definitive anti-aging bible.
I am a person who, because of allergies and sensitive skin, has not used many cosmetics or skin care regimens for several decades. Instead, I have been limited to avoidance of pollutants and radiation, eating healthy foods and getting enough sleep and exercise. A couple months ago, I heard an interview with Dr. Youn on the radio and decided to purchase the book. Here is what happened. I selected skin care products in my price range to experiment with Retinol at night, antioxidants under a zinc oxide sun block during the day, and Vitamin B3/Matrixyl/hyaluronic acid/ceramides at will. The selections were based upon learning concepts in the book so I could try Dr. Youn's recommendations or make educated choices in the market place. I used the products on my face, neck and hands. After about a week, my face and neck became irritated and I was able to determine that the problem was just a touch of glycolic acid in the Retinol cream. I switched to a Retinol/hyaluronic acid formulation and the irritation was greatly diminished. After about five weeks, my face and neck looked hydrated and healthier, which was nice. The surprise was my hands. They looked less bony, plumper and more even in coloration. YES!
The icing on the cake was when a relative of mine was having problems with skin tears on one hand. We tried the following: At night I would place a small amount of Retinol/glycolic acid cream on the back of his hands. In the morning, I would apply an antioxidant serum over the backs of both of this person's freshly washed hands. The skin tear was healing faster than usual which pleased my relative. A few days later, he went to his dermatologist on another matter and his doctor asked him about his skin tear. When the doctor found out this intervention was helpful, he told my relative to "keep on doing it".
This was an easy and very fun book to read. I loved all of his non-surgical suggestions for products and treatments. Many of the products he mentions can just be purchased on Amazon. This book validated many things I have already known and do as a part of my body-care, but also had many things and products that I did not know about. Overall a 10 out of 10–I'd definitely recommend this to others.
Anthony Youn did an excellent job of writing this book in a way that would make sense to just about anyone. I didn't expect him to be so matter-of-fact and down to earth, but it was refreshing. This book is not going to tell you that you should get plastic surgery. In fact, I felt more self-assured after finishing it, knowing that the pressure I often feel to achieve or maintain some type of faux perfection is largely influenced by celebrity fandom and popular culture. He does a great job explaining how the media affects our view of self, and also suggests plenty of practical and alternative solutions to plastic surgery. I've since stocked up on skincare products that actually work for me and feel a lot better about the prospect of slowing the aging process as I enter my mid-20's.
Really excellent book. I have read many articles about plastic surgery procedures. This is the first book where all of the procedures get honestly discussed. This doctor was very open about what works, and what does not. The BEST part – he talked about over the counter products that WORK! This alone made it worth the cost. Saw this doc on PBS, makes things clear and easy to understand!
I have read this book several times. Each time I find something great. I have met Dr. Youn. He performed the grin lift on me, a procedure he talks about in the book. He is a very honest and kind soul and he really knows his stuff. Everything that I tried from this book has worked. I would recommend this book to everybody. It is filled with information that anyone could use . Buy this book , you won't be disappointed .
A thorough, well mapped out tool for all ages. Tried some of the facial creams and serums suggested with happy results. Had to find them online because they weren't easily available in my area but that was no problem. I first saw Dr. Youn on PBS and enjoyed the program enough to order the book. It will be a great reference for other areas of aging as time passes. At 52, I found many sound, sensible solutions to aging and staying healthy.

Hawks win first title in 49 years in bizarre finish to Game 6
Hockey fans in the great city of Chicago had to wait 49 years to experience the moment again, but on Wednesday night it finally happened.
In a thrilling, yet completely bizarre finish to the title series, the Blackhawks hoisted the Stanley Cup with their 4-3 victory over the Flyers in overtime. Patrick Kane scored the game-winning goal 4:06 into OT, but nobody outside of him knew that the puck had slipped past Philly goalie Michael Leighton because the net indicator never went off. The announcers didn't even know that the puck had got passed Leighton until they saw Kane skating down the ice with his arms up in the air and the rest of his teammates clear the bench to greet him at the other end.
In all honesty, the moment killed the excitement that had been building for over three periods. Chicago fans obviously don't care how it ended because the Hawks won, but for casual fans, it was undoubtedly a lackluster finish. (Or at least, a lackluster finish for a game-winning, series-clinching overtime goal.) It was strange to watch the Hawks celebrate while the Flyers stood on the ice waiting for the referees to make an official announcement about whether or not the goal had counted.
Regardless, it was a thrilling moment for the Hawks and their fans. With four minutes remaining in the third period, it looked as though Chicago would win in regulation but then Scott Hartnell beat Antti Niemi to eventually force overtime. Of course, without Niemi, both teams would be heading back to Chicago for a Game 7 right now. He made a couple of key saves late in the game to keep the Hawks afloat. In fact, he saved a point-blank shot by Jeff Carter with less than two minutes to play in regulation, right in front of the Hawks' net.
All in all, this was a great moment for hockey and for Chicago fans, who are extremely loyal and who cherish titles. It was an exciting series and the NHL can't be upset about how this one turned out.

Byfuglien leads Hawks to within one game of clinching Cup
Posted by Anthony Stalter (06/07/2010 @ 9:04 am)
Dustin Byfuglien's two goals and two assists in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup helped the Blackhawks beat the Flyers 7-4 on Sunday. Chicago is now only one win away from winning its first title in nearly 50 years.
Byfuglien had been quiet in the series before Sunday, registering only one assist through the first four games. Chris Pronger had largely neutralized him before then, but by playing most of the night on a line with Kris Versteeg (who had a goal and two assists himself) and Dave Bolland (one goal, one assist), the trio lifted the Hawks to a crucial victory.
Now comes the hard part for Chicago: beating the Flyers in Philadelphia, which they haven't done in three tries this season (including Games 3 and 4 of the Cup). Flyers' goalie Michael Leighton has been downright brutal on the road in this series, but his 31-save effort in Game 4 on Friday night was arguably his best performance of the playoffs. Assuming he's in net for Wednesday night and not Brian Boucher (who replaced Leighton after he allowed three goals on Sunday), he could make the difference in whether or not this series goes to a Game 7.

Indianz.Com > House panel acts to restore Bush budget cuts
House panel acts to restore Bush budget cuts
A House subcommittee restored some of President Bush's budget cuts to Indian programs on Wednesday with the approval of the Interior Department's fiscal year 2006 budget bill.
Although detailed figures are not available, the initial numbers from the House Interior Appropriations subcommittee were encouraging. The panel boosted the Bureau of Indian Affairs budget to a total of $2.0 billion, or $67 million over current levels, whereas the Bush administration sought an overall cut of nearly $110 million.
And instead of accepting the White House's cuts to Indian education, the subcommittee added $19 million to BIA education for a total of $654 million. The panel also restored some, but not all, of Bush's cut to construction and repair of BIA schools and facilities.
Combined with a $118 million increase at the Indian Health Service for a total of $3.1 billion, the numbers represented a $5.7 billion investment in Indian programs, according to the initial numbers. The figure represents a $145 million increase above current levels, the subcommittee said.
Overall, the panel restored $107 million in program reductions sought by the Bush administration.
The bill's approval comes three weeks after lawmakers heard directly from tribal leaders about the 2006 budget. Harold Frazier, the chairman of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of South Dakota, said the budget cuts represented the federal government's failure to carry out its promises to Indian people.
"In our treaties, there were agreements made where the U.S. government agreed to provide us with education, health, agricultural resources, welfare, and help us to build our economy," Frazier told the subcommittee on April 14. "Yet today, these entitlements are being separated and manipulated into discretionary services which can be exterminated at the stroke of a pen."
Rep. Charles Taylor (R-North Carolina), the chairman of the panel, and Rep. Norm Dicks (D-Washington), the vice chairman, have voiced concerns as well. At a hearing in March, they objected to the cuts at the BIA while "funding for the trust related programs continues to increase," said Taylor.
"This budget," Dicks said on March 17, "moves us in the wrong direction."
On the Senate said, several key lawmakers plan to beef up the Indian Country budget too. The Senate Indian Affairs Committee, some of whose members sit on the Senate Appropriations Committee, rejected the Bush administration's proposal in an official letter in February.
"Although we agree with the president's goals of funding programs with proven performance and accountability and reducing the federal deficit, we disagree with many of the proposed funding cuts and the priorities set out in the budget," wrote Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona), chairman of the committee, and Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-North Dakota), the vice chairman.
Funding levels for trust reform were not released yesterday. But in past years, the House and the Senate have cut the Office of Special Trustee's budget, specifically money for historical accounting projects for individual Indians and tribes. Lawmakers are concerned that the effort will not be successful or will not be accepted in court.
Taylor and Dicks also have been responsible for provisions targeting the Cobell v. Norton lawsuit over individual Indian trust funds. It was not clear whether any new riders have been added to the bill, which has not yet been filed.
Overall, the bill funds the Interior Department and related agencies with $26.2 billion, down from $27.0 billion last year but more than the $25.7 billion requested by the Bush administration.
The bill will now go to the House Appropriations Committee for approval. It is likely to be considered by the full House this summer, with Senate action occurring around the same time.
The goal is to approve all appropriations legislation by October 1, the official start of the fiscal year. But in years past, the House and Senate have passed massive "omnibus" bills because they couldn't get every individual bill approved.

On the panel: Moderator Patricia Sampaio from FGV Law School, Vice-Admiral Roberto Condim Carneiro da Cunha, ANTAQ Director Rodrigo Trajano, Lasse Karlsen, Technical Director of the Norwegian Maritime Authority, Petrobras executive Dimitrios Magalhaes and moderator Ricardo Fernandes, of Abran.
Seminar debates green ambitions for the maritime and offshore sectors in Norway and Brazil.

The 3rd Brazil x Norway seminar organized by Abran, FGV Law School and Team Norway took place on September 25, 2018, and the event presented a potential area for collaboration between Norway and Brazil, as well as an opportunity to compare Brazilian and Norwegian regulations of the maritime and ocean sectors.
The keynote speaker was Deputy Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Mrs. Ingvil Smines Tybring-Gjedde, and she focused on the new, emerging ocean industries as a whole, not only on the maritime and oil and gas sectors.
«The Norwegian government wants to make sustainable use of the oceans a top priority and we believe that the best protection is through responsible use of the oceans. We aim to promote value creating in the ocean industries, and the energy and maritime industries play an important part, as driving forces in the development of a blue economy. The maritime and energy sectors are part of the solution to the global challenges we are facing and we need to continue reducing emissions from the sector and develop greener and smarter operations. The key is to ensure a competitive and prosperous industry and protection of the marine environment, but this rests on the assumption that the industry must be part of the effort, that entails the development of new technologies, new products and services and new business models. Green solutions are good business and also good for the environment, and we need to find solutions to combat climate change», she said in her address to the seminar.
The Deputy Minister gave several examples on how the Norwegian ocean industries are becoming the most innovative in the world. The giant Johan Sverdrup field, under development in the North Sea, will produce 660.000 barrels of oil equivalents by 2022, and will have 25 percent lower CO2 emissions per barrel than the world average. Kongsberg and Wilhelmsen recently founded the world´s first autonomous shipping company. Currently, Norway has 50 LNG vessels , half of the world´s LNG fleet, according to the presentation.
«Norway is taking steps to stay ahead and to reduce our environmental footprint, and the autonomous shipping revolution is an important part of the green revolution. The winners of the green revolution will be the winners of 21st century global economy», the Deputy Minister said in her keynote speech.
As the emerging ocean industries involve a variety of risks, realizing the full potential will demand a sustainable and responsible approach which also involves regulations and governance, and FGV professor Sérgio Guerra presented the Brazilian regulatory framework to the seminar. He also addressed the relevance to adapt to market changes and technological shifts in the maritime and offshore sectors.
Vice-Admiral Roberto Condim Carneiro da Cunha (in the photo), Director of the Brazilian Directorate for Ports and Coast (DPC) explained the role of the Brazilian Maritime Authority and the challenges driven by the recovery of oil and gas activities in Brazil.
The increasing demand from the oil and gas industry requires even more from Brazilian maritime authorities.
«We are monitoring current positive economic indicators, but what we have seen, is a reduction in actions, inspections and also in the number of Norwegian vessels operating in Brazilian waters. Today, actions are being adopted to accompany the recovery of the industry. Procedures are being simplified, new measures have been adopted. The Brazilian maritime authorities are ready to attend the needs of the industry in growth», he said.
ANTAQ Director Rodrigo Trajano talked about the role of ANTAQ and the challenges brought by the recovery of the activities of oil and gas in Brazil. With the crisis, the number of maritime support vessels fell significantly, and many contracts were terminated early, mainly for foreign vessels. Many charter contracts were renegotiated. Mr. Trajano expects the demand for supply vessels, also foreign flagged vessels, to increase as huge developments by Petrobras and foreign oil majors are on the way.
ANTAQ has also identified several regulatory demands in this process, involving charter by non-EBN (foreign vessels), ship-to-ship operations, chartering of vessels which perform submarine engineering work and the use to tonnage to charter foreign vessels without circularization.
The concern for finding greener solutions was less evident in the presentations of Brazilian regulators, possibly because surviving in a market in crisis has been the sole priority to many players in the Brazilian maritime and offshore sector. The goal of the seminar was to share experiences, but the presentation of Mr. Lasse Karlsen, Technical Director of the Norwegian Maritime Authority, illustrated a gap when it comes to the green approach and search for greener solutions for the future. To the audience, however, the presentations from the Norwegian speakers served as an inspiration.
Mr. Karlsen focused on the impact of new technologies and lower carbon emissions requirements on the regulation of the maritime and offshore sector.
He also addressed the need for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. IMO has decided to reduce emissions from shipping by 50 percent by 2050.
The last presentation of the event was given by Petrobras executive Dimitrios Magalhaes. He talked about the company´s perspectives of the future, new technological trends and how this reflects on the procurement strategies of Petrobras.
«Petrobras aims to accompany new tendencies, and with pre-salt, we face different challenges and need suppliers with the appetite to face these challenges with us. Today we have 120 production units in our fleet, and needs within maintenance will also create opportunities», he said.
