Lars & The Real Girl: Sex Dolls in Pop Culture
Sex Dolls in Pop Culture
Back in 2007, a little independent film told the story about a socially awkward man – Lars – who falls in love with a life-sized sex doll. Nominated for as Academy Award for Best Screenplay, " Lars and the Real Girl" engaged critics and moviegoers alike by introducing sex dolls and the complicated world of emotional intimacy to a wider audience.
Lars, played by Ryan Gosling who was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor for the film, is an introverted man who has difficulty making conversation with people, including his immediate family including his brother Gus (played by Paul Schneider) and his sister-in-law Karin (played by Emily Mortimer). Uninterested in a co-worker who shows a romantic interest in him, Lars instead orders a life-sized sex doll from the internet named Bianca and introduces her to his family.
Over time, Lars develops feelings for Bianca and even introduces her to people as if she were a real human being. Due to the strong emotional attachment he has for the sex doll, it made it further difficult for him to cultivate any other relationship. Eventually, Lars proclaims that Bianca is unresponsive and plans a real funeral for her with a lot of people in attendance. After the death of Bianca, Lars begins what seems like a budding relationship with his co-worker.
Sex dolls as a whole have seen a lot of representation in pop culture, particularly in the movies. One of such movies is; "Lars and the Real Girl", in which the protagonist falls in love with a life-sized sex doll. Other movies, such as the series Humans have also depicted the possibility of humans falling in love with robotic sex dolls. One of the main reasons why this happens in movies gives credence to one fact only; that sex dolls can provide the feel and stimulation one would feel while having sex with a human. However, the movie in question; "Lars and the Real Girl", passes across a message, although a subtle one, which is that –while sex dolls can help humans with their sexual needs they cannot completely replace human relationships.
The earliest forms of the modern sex dolls, which are the super unrealistic plastic blow-up dolls prone to bursting, have evolved over the years due to a number of reason. However, in addition to the development of better materials, the main reason for the evolution of sex dolls is due to the fact that humans are constantly seeking for more realistic sexual stimulation and sex doll manufacturers keep improving on their designs to feed into this desire. This can be seen in the progression of sex dolls over the years, from inflatable blow-up dolls to vinyl, silicone and TPE dolls.
Sex trends over the years show that each version of these sex dolls have evolved and improved from the previous one, allowing a greater degree of realness. Today, dolls are being produced with very human-like features such as having ultra-realistic bodies that are soft to the touch as well as the ability to be warmed and have vocal queues. However, no matter the technological advancement that is achieved with sex dolls, they can serve a need for companionship as well as novelty and safe adventure that many people crave.

18 Times When Internet Helped In Identification Of Mysterious Objects
Cool, Interesting, Weird
"What is this random set of stairs with a platform? It's located at the entrance to a local forest with walking trails."
A: "It's a mounting block to get on a horse."
"Found this old thing in a garage. It's pretty heavy (maybe lead), looks like a weird torpedo, and was probably used in a war but not entirely sure. Any ideas?"
A: "It's this mini practice bomb."
"What is this metal item? Unsure exactly what material, unsure of age, unsure of origin but found here in the netherlands. Has a small star shaped inscription and no other markings. Bottom is very scratched up."
A: "Pipe tamper— 100%. You have to tamp your tobacco while smoking."
"What is the special purpose of this 18″ ruler. There are 4 windows."
A: "In the olden days, before personal computers, I worked as a type setter in a print shop. Type would be produced on film, run through a wax machine to wax the back of it and then cut apart and placed in position. To save on film, everything was smooshed together, you had to cut it apart and move it into place…every line, number and punctuation. I had a tool like this, but it was much longer. Sometimes it was more useful than the T-square."
"We got this from an elderly friend, who claims it's something for your hands."
A: "I would guess it's some device for ergotherapy. Like to train your hands after an accident or surgery or when you have a neurodegenerative disease, based on the other items Haider is selling."
"Two tone 3D printed object on a necklace from a youth military program in the US"
A: "Most kids who go through Starbase get one of these. The purpose is to demonstrate CAD and 3d printing, not to provide any practical result. Students are instructed to follow along with instructions to model a "space capsule" (the program is designed for elementary, so the simplicity is somewhat warranted), so every student produces an identical model. Then the instructors hand out a 3d printed version to every student."
"What are these blue, large (about 2m), heavy steel objects with chains and ropes attached that look as if they're put under water (seen in a harbor)?"
A: "Those look like trawl doors aka otter boards. There's 2 of them attached to the opening of a large fishing net to hold it open while it trawls."
"Found on the beach, it's hard and shiny, about 10cm in diameter."
A: "That's an agate with an inclusion of some other, darker mineral. Pretty cool!"
"What is this set of identical flat wooden shapes found in an old box of Christmas decorations? I can sort of stack a few but they don't really interlock. There are 10 of them."
A: "We had these growing up. They are used to organize your ribbons, cords, strings etc for decorations or wrapping. You would start on one end and wrap your ribbon (etc) at a diagonal and then again to the other diagonal etc etc. it made sure none of your ribbons got tangled. We used these for ribbons, strings etc. you can also get them in plastic and larger sizes for a string of lights."
"What is this thing? Found on Jones Beach, NY, about 1.5-2 inches at widest point."
A: "European Water Chestnut (Trapa natans) seeds"
"Does anyone have any idea what the tool on the left is? Used a pen for scale."
A: "It's just a pick (not a lock pick). Literally nothing specific, just for whatever you might find it handy for."
"What are these two cylinders on an elevator/lift control panel labeled ABCD?"
A: "Those are for installing locks (normal keys with keyways) to enter areas e.g. floor 13. Keyways are at least 5cm (2″) deep so they needed a way to orient them sideways as the button assemblies are not deep enough. For smaller buildings where those are not needed those are just design elements."
"Handmade wood bowl, what is it meant to hold?"
A: "It's a nutcracker and pick for nuts"
"What is this tool with a spring inside (visible when the top is unscrewed) and multiple bits (maybe) in the base? The base rotates and has a small hole in it to release each bit when in position. What's the purpose of this tool?"
A: "It's a yankee drill. Put the bit against wood, and when you push the handle, it drills!"
"Left in our attic by previous home owner. Made of green wire, 5 nails, electrical tape."
A: "It's a homemade electromagnent"
"Seen at a military surplus store. Antenna-like object with geometric mesh panels approximately 2 or 3 feet in all directions. Shopkeeper couldn't tell me about it beyond the fact that it had been there since the store opened ~50 years ago."
A: "Radar retroreflector. A portable one."
"Tiny brass(?) leg found in antique shop."
A: "It's a tobacco pipe tamper"

Shooting policies loosened
Struggles June 1, 2018November 14, 2018 APB Team
Are vehicle attacks the reason for policy changes?
by APB Staff
It used to be standard practice in most parts of the U.S. that police officers were trained not to shoot at moving vehicles.
There were exceptions, such as if the driver or a passenger in the car was firing a gun, but for the most part that was the rule. However, the recent spate of attacks by drivers ramming cars or trucks into crowds of pedestrians has law enforcement officials rethinking this tactic.
Cities including Chicago, Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., and New York have recently changed their guidelines to allow officers to fire at vehicles in an attempt to stop this type of attack. Shooting at a moving car is never going to be an ideal tactic, but sometimes it's the least bad option available to an officer in an emergency situation.
Washington, D.C., Police Chief Peter Newsham said to the Washington Post, "It's really important to make sure officers completely understand this is a special circumstance, a last resort, but one that may be necessary." Some civilian groups have protested the policy shift, saying that anything giving police officers more leeway to shoot at suspects is a bad move.
On the flip side, Executive Director James Pasco of the Fraternal Order of Police said that the rule should be broader. "It is extraordinarily difficult for an officer to ascertain when a vehicle coming at him or at innocent civilians is intending to commit terrorism or escape a bank robbery."
The executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), Chuck Wexler, urged more caution, saying that departments should be "very careful about making adjustments that could be misinterpreted and potentially lead to bad shootings."
Charles Ramsey, former D.C. police chief and head of the Task Force on 21st Century Policing, pointed out that while it makes sense to update the policy in light of recent terrorist attacks, the new rules ought to be written narrowly so that they only apply to terror attacks.
The new directive in New York City, for example, specifically references a "mass casualty terrorist event." Many cities have already taken steps toward preventing vehicular ramming attacks at major events and in well-known pedestrian areas like Times Square.
In spite of these efforts, attacks continue. It's simply impossible to harden every potential target. The overall sentiment in law enforcement is that police need the option to shoot at vehicles in case of a mass terror attack, but there will always be gray areas.
And no matter what the rule is, officers on the street will always be the ones forced to make a snap decision that could mean life or death.

Die Hendrixbrücke, (), ist die ältere der beiden Eisenbahnbrücken über die Save in Zagreb, der Hauptstadt Kroatiens.

Name
Früher, bis zum Bau der zweiten Brücke im Jahr 1968, wurde die 1939 eröffnete Brücke einfach Eisenbahnbrücke oder nach ihrer markanten Farbe grüne Eisenbahnbrücke genannt (). Vor einigen Jahrzehnten erschien ein Graffito HENDRIX auf der Brücke, offensichtlich zum Gedenken an den 1970 verstorbenen Gitarristen und Rockmusiker Jimi Hendrix. Der große, weithin sichtbare Schriftzug wurde erneuert, sooft man ihn auch beseitigte. Bald wurde sie Hendrixbrücke genannt, auch von Leuten, die noch nie von dem Musiker gehört hatten. Zur Feier des 50. Jahrestages seines ersten Albums wurde die Brücke restauriert und in einer Lightshow mit dem Namen in großen Buchstaben geschmückt.

Beschreibung
Die zweigleisige Brücke ist zwischen den Widerlagern gemessen 306,04 m lang. Sie hat vier Öffnungen mit Stützweiten von 57,50 + 135,54 + 58,00 + 55,00 m.

Die Mittelöffnung  wird von einem vollwandigen, versteiften, biegungsfesten Stabbogen überquert. Seine Stützweite von 135,54 m war bei der Eröffnung die größte dieses Tragwerksystems für Eisenbahnbrücken.

Die Hautpträger haben einen Abstand von 9,60 m. Die Trogbrücke ist als Durchlaufträger über fünf Stützen ausgebildet mit einem Gelenk in einer Endöffnung. Die Längsträger sind über der Mittelöffnung 3,50 m und über den Seitenöffnungen 3,00 m hoch.

Die Hauptträger aus KID-Stahl 52 sind genietet. Die Wind- und Querverbände sowie die Hängestangen und die Fahrbahn bestehen aus St 37 und sind geschweißt. Damit war die Brücke auch eine der ersten großen geschweißten Brücken. Der Stahl wurde von der Krainischen Industriegesellschaft Jesenice-Fužine (KID) hergestellt.

Geschichte

Einleitung
In den sechziger Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde in Österreich-Ungarn die für den stark steigenden Warenverkehr zwischen den Adriahafen Rijeka und der ungarischen Hauptstadt Budapest die Eisenbahnverbindung in mehreren Abschnitten gebaut. Die Trassen sind so projektiert und angelegt, dass die Bahnlinie alle Elemente einer bevorzugten Hauptverbindung bekommt, in der Endphase zwei Gleise hat, sowie eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 100 km/h erlaubt. Im überwiegend flachen Abschnitt in der pannonischen Ebene, zwischen Budapest über Zagreb bis Karlovac, mussten über zwei große Flüsse – die Drau und die Save – Brückenbauwerke erstellt werden, so dass damals (wo man für den Bau von Eisenbahnbrücken nur geschmiedete Eisenteile verwenden konnte) die  Bauingenieure und Techniker vor hohen Anforderungen standen. Beide Brücken wurden nur für ein Gleis ausgelegt und als Fachwerkkonstruktionen ausgeführt. Zum Bau eines zweiten Gleises vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg kam es aus wirtschaftlichen und finanziellen Gründen nicht, da der Waren- und Personentransport mit der Bahn nicht den erhofften Umfang erreichen konnte.

Die politischen Veränderungen nach dem Kriegsende mit der Staatsgründung des Königreichs der Serben, Kroaten und Slowenen (später Jugoslawien) und der Vereinnahmung der Hafenstadt Rijeka durch Italien, haben zu erheblichen Verkehrsverschiebungen des Warenflusses zu und nach Ungarn geführt. Italien hat einerseits für den Hafen Triest besondere Vergünstigungen eingeführt, andererseits bemühte sich Deutschland, den Warentransport für Ungarn über die Häfen Hamburg und Bremen zu verstärken.

Erst der wirtschaftliche Aufschwung in der Welt der 1930er Jahre begünstigte auch die Entscheidung, dem stufenweisen Ausbau der Bahnverbindung zwischen Budapest und Rijeka näher zu treten. Nach dem Rahmenplan sollten nicht nur ein zweites Gleis verlegt, sondern auch die beiden großen Brücken über die Drau und Save neu gebaut sowie eine neue Bahntrasse im gebirgigen Teil zwischen Ogulin und Rijeka so weit wie möglich tiefer mit geringen Steigungen zu führen, was nur mit dem Bau von langen Tunnels erreicht werden konnte.

Vorbereitungsvorgänge und Planungsentscheidung
Das in Jugoslawien zuständige Verkehrsministerium entschied sich in Absprache mit der Bahndirektion in Zagreb, im ersten Bauabschnitt die vorhandene Brücke über die Save bei Zagreb durch eine neue, zweigleisige Brücke zu ersetzen und im Teilabschnitt zwischen Zagreb und Karlovac das zweite Gleis zu verlegen sowie die Strecke zu elektrifizieren.

Die Vorbereitungen für die neue Brücke über die Save begannen um 1932/33 mit der Auslobung eines internationalen Wettbewerbs. Es wurde eine beschränkte Anzahl von Bauunternehmen mit ausgewiesenen Erfahrungen im Brückenbau eingeladen, ihre Brückenentwürfe und Angebote bis zum Abgabetermin einzureichen. Seitens der Wasserbehörde wurde die Forderung gestellt, die Brückenkonstruktion über die Save auf einer Länge von rund 135 m ohne Zwischenstützen zu überführen. Das Preisgericht hat den Entwurf des Bieters "Tvornica vagona, strojeva i mostva" aus Slavonski Brod (2. Preis – 1. Preis wurde nicht vergeben) für die Auftragsvergabe vorgeschlagen.

Der preisgekrönter Vorschlag stieß jedoch sowohl beim Verkehrsministerium und der Generaldirektion der jugoslawischen Bahnen in Belgrad, als auch bei der Bahndirektion in Zagreb auf einmütige Ablehnung. Stattdessen haben das Verkehrsministerium und die Generaldirektion in Belgrad die Bahndirektion in Zagreb beauftragt, einen eigenen Entwurf auszuarbeiten und ihnen zur Entscheidung vorzulegen. Direktor der Bahndirektion in Zagreb Schneller bat Adolf Wantur, den erfahreneren Brückenbauer in der Direktion, die Aufgabe zu übernehmen, und ihm einen eigenen Vorschlag zu unterbreiten. Mit dieser Aufgabe besuchte Wantur Otto Eiselin von der Technischen Hochschule in Danzig, der die Tragfähigkeit des gesamten Querschnittes bei einem Brückenbauwerk untersuchte (die Echte Trogbrücke), Fischer von der Gutehoffnungshütte in Oberhausen, mit dem er zwei neuen 45 und 55 m weit gespannten  Eisenbahnbrücken mit elastischen Bogen in Mühlhausen/Ruhr besichtigte und Mirko Roš von der ETH Zürich und EMPA in Zürich. Mit Rajko Kusevic von der Technischen Fakultät / Abteilung Bauingenieurwesen in Zagreb stand er ständig im gegenseitigen Gedankenaustausch. Als Ergebnis stand ein bemerkenswerter und für Brückenbau neuer Vorschlag von  Adolf Wantur: eine Brückenkonstruktion als Durchlaufträger über 4 Felder mit elastischen Bogen über das größte Feld von 135 m Spannweite, wobei der elastische Bogen die Aufgaben übernehmen soll, die mit senkrechten Stahlstützen (Hängestangen) nach oben geleiteten Lasten über den Bogen zu seitlichen Brückenpfeiler zu übertragen. Der Vorschlag wurde Anfang 1936 von dem Verfasser Wantur und vom stellvertretenden Direktor Tercek unterschrieben und vom Generaldirektor Schneller in Zagreb, als auch von den Vorständen der Generaldirektion der Jugoslawischen Eisenbahnen und dem Verkehrsministerium in Belgrad genehmigt.

Vergabe der Ausführungsarbeiten und Ablauf der Bauarbeiten
Die Ausführung des gesamten Brückenobjektes wurde an die "Tvornica vagona, strojeva i mostva" in Slavonski Brod, sowie an das Stahlkonstruktionswerk "Splosna Stavbena Druzba" in Maribor vergeben. Für die Erzeugung und Lieferung des hochwertigen Stahls KID (entspricht St. 52 in Deutschland) wurde das Stahlwerk in Jesenice beauftragt. Mit den Arbeiten wurde nach einem gemeinsam festgelegten Koordinierungs- und Terminplan umgehend begonnen.

Die Gesamtaufsicht der Bauausführung einschließlich der Einhaltung der Koordinierung und der Terminpläne vom Arbeitsbeginn bis zur Brückenübergabe übernahm Adolf Wantur von der Eisenbahndirektion Zagreb; die Gesamtübersicht der Bauabwicklung oblag dem zuständigen Dezernenten für Brückenbau im Verkehrsministerium in Belgrad E. Krick.

Die Konstruktionsberechnungen, die Ausführungspläne und die Brückenstahlteile wurden von beiden Werken in Slavonski Brod bzw. Maribor unter der Leitung von Valujev und  Milosavljevic erarbeitet bzw. errichtet. Alle einzelnen Stahlteile des Haupttragwerkes der Brückenkonstruktion wurden mit Nieten (Stahl St. 44) verbunden. Die  Hängestangen und die Wind- sowie Querverbände wurden geschweißt. Während der gesamten Durchführung Brückenarbeiten standen als Berater die Rajko Kusevic von der Universität Zagreb und Mirko Roš von der ETH und EMPA in Zürich zur Verfügung.

Der Schutzanstrich der gesamten Stahlkonstruktion der Brücke auf einer Fläche von rund 10 000 m²  wurde in Anlehnung der strengen Schweizer Vorschriften von der Firma Weber und Miljevic aus Zagreb ausgeführt.

Für die Brückenstützen und -widerlager wurde nach dem Vorschlag und der eingehenden Prüfungen der EMPA Granit aus dem Steinbruch Rpanj gewählt.

Nach Vollendung von allen Brückenarbeiten wurden im Herbst 1939 Probebelastungen der  Brückenkonstruktion durch 6 Paare von schweren Dampflokomotiven vorgenommen. Alle Messergebnisse lagen zufriedenstellend im zulässigen Bereichen.

Verkehrsübergabe
Die Brücke wurde mit einem Festakt am 3. Dezember 1939 unter der Teilnahme des Banus (= Ministerpräsidenten) Ivan Subasic, E. Krick als Vertreter des Verkehrsministers,  B. Tosic als Vertreter des Generaldirektors der Jugoslawischen Staatsbahnen, des stellvertretenden Direktors Tercek und  Wantur, Brückenbaureferenten der Eisenbahndirektion Zagreb, sowie vielen anderen Teilnehmern aus dem öffentlichen Leben dem Verkehr übergeben.

Cryptogene is a Nigeria-based startup that is building a hub to bring blockchain technology to the mainstream in Africa through education and the development of blockchain tools for individuals as well as organizations.
Cryptogene was founded in mid-December 2016 by a passionate crypto-enthusiast Bashir Aminu as a telegram community where people of all nationalities were welcome to share verifiable sources of information towards building interesting cryptocurrency and blockchain-based technologies.
In an interview with BitcoinAfrica.io, founder "Bash" (as popularly called by the members of Cryptogene's telegram group) explains how Cryptogene aims to utilize cryptocurrency and its underlying technology to improve business and social infrastructures in Nigeria and beyond.
BitcoinAfrica.io interviewed Bashir, co-founder of Cryptogene, to find out more about this new African blockchain startup.
How did you come to establish Cryptogene?
Last year in December, I had an argument with the billion coin (TBC) supporter about whether TBC was a viable cryptocurrency or not. This was a telegram group that I was in. After laying down my points and convincing everyone that it wasn't and was, in fact, a scam, I had a lot of messages from people asking me to create a group just for the cryptocurrency market, which I did on the 14th of December last year. That's basically how Cryptogene came to be.
What makes Nigeria the right place for this kind of innovation?
The blockchain can potentially transform the way we interact with each other and our environment. It could potentially revolutionize banking, government, etc. Nigeria is ripe because we currently have a lot of youths with great ideas and wonderful visions and no one to help them accomplish their goals. A lot of things are still based on who you know. Blockchain can eliminate that.
Take a look at resources for example. Imagine oil and gas were equally distributed or decentralized around the world. You would not have all these senseless wars or a handful of Nigerian families controlling all the oil wealth.
The future is about putting people and humanity first. This is what Cryptogene aims to achieve. It's meant to give everyone a fair chance. It doesn't mean there won't be competition or reward for hard work. It just means that everyone has a fair chance of succeeding if they put in the same amount of effort and time.
What are the areas of immediate focus for Cryptogene?
1. We educate citizens on what blockchain is all about. What its potential is and how it can help them in their daily lives and businesses.
2. We get into the adoption stage. After we have educated, we have to now convince them that what we've educated them on is actually worth it.
3. Implement. After education and adoption comes implementation. Getting things on the ground for blockchain and cryptocurrency use in real life cases.
What are some of the milestones you've achieved in your 6 months? And looking forward, what are you excited about?
Over the past 6 months, we've witnessed phenomenal growth. We've had upwards of a thousand sign-ups on cryptocurrency trading sites like Poloniex and Bittrex, and many of these signups come from people that came from a background of investing in HYIPs and other Ponzis. Cryptogene has been able to change their mindsets towards more use cases. The trading group has grown in leaps and bounds in just a few months. We also have the exchange. It has become a safe haven for buyers to meet sellers and conduct cryptocurrency transactions without fear of being scammed.
For the future, I look forward to a future in which Cryptogene will become a reference point for all cryptocurrency and blockchain activities in Africa and indeed the world at large. I see Africa as a hub for cryptocurrency, where the new generation of startups will spring up and take the world by storm.
It's been suggested that blockchain may be able to help solve long-standing problems in Africa, which area is Cryptogene interested in?
The economic development of many African countries is dependent on the success of local SMEs receiving the financial support they need to grow. This is where blockchain could prove particularly beneficial. Our platform would allow entrepreneurs share their ideas and get crowdfunded. This is our major play, which is why it's the final step in our roadmap. We intend to make sure we have enough people understand the potentials of blockchain technology so as to adopt and then finally implement it in their businesses.
What do you see as the biggest challenge to adopting blockchain technology in Nigeria?
I think the biggest challenge to adoption is regulation. The government has a huge role to play in getting this technology mainstream. Blockchain faces a hurdle in widespread adoption by pre-existing financial institutions if its government regulation status remains unsettled.
Are you optimistic about the future of blockchain technology in Nigeria and Africa in general?
Optimistic, yes. Blockchain is going to give Nigeria and indeed Africa what it lacks and has been hampering its development for too long.
1. Transparency: With more people getting to know the capability of the blockchain tech, it would not be long before the people demand such transparency in essentially everything, from the individual workplace to the affairs of the state thereby reducing corruption and eventually eliminating it.
2. Technology: It is arguably true that blockchain is the next technological revolution or fintech revolution and this means that Nigerians and Africans would have a stake in it and not be reduced to consumers but also contributors even at this early stage. We want innovative Africans that create and contribute positively to the growth of the world. An Africa that can look inward and solve its problems.
3. A Global Village: As is the aim of the internet and technology itself, Nigeria/Africa will be made into a more cohesive unit. This promotes peace as well as confidence in a stable business environment.
4. Economic advantage: With security and transparency, more entrepreneurs will seek ways to develop or invest in otherwise neglected sectors. Individuals also get to invest in sectors of their choice without being subjected to the popular corrupt oligarchy. This means an increase in economic and human value, combating poverty and promoting development.

Position: CEO of Statnett
Education: M.Sc from NTH (NTNU), Norway and RWTH, Aachen, German
Going green faster
- Work hard, but have fun, and think beyond Norway's borders, Hilde Tonne, CEO of Statnett, advises students. She is working towards going green faster with more electrification.
Hilde Tonne doesn't need look further back than March 15 last year to find the most important moment of her career. That is when she became CEO of Statnett. Statnett has the main responsibility for the main power grid in Norway, which consists of a total of 11,000 km of power lines and 150 transformer stations throughout the country.
- Things are changing fast in the energy sector today and there are major transformation happening. It has been an exciting and hectic time since I started. Currently our main priority in Statnett is a new strategy that will enable us to go green faster, says Tonne.
Both hardworking and social
- The advice I have to students is to try to find a good balance between working hard and persistently with the studies and yet being social
Tonne has always liked to have a plenty of irons in the fire. As a student, she was both hardworking and social. For example, she was very active during Uka, the yearly student festival. During her last year in Trondheim, she was deputy manager during Uka, and the rest of the year she took time off to travel around the world.
- The advice I have to students is to try to find a good balance between working hard and persistently with the studies and yet being social.
Another advice is to think beyond Norway's borders and look for international opportunities. Tonne herself appreciates the experience she gained while working internationally and how this expanded her horizons. Parts of her degree were taken in Germany, and she has lived and worked in both Bangkok and Copenhagen.
Experience from the oil industry
Tonne has a master's degree in petroleum technology. She started her career working in Statoil and Hydro, where she spent a total of 17 years. Then she did what she calls a 'crazy move', when she left the energy sector and started in Telenor.
- I went straight into the corporate management at a new company, which meant both completely new responsibilities and a completely new industry. This is one of the most daring things I have ever done, says Tonne, who ended up working at Telenor for 10 years.
Throughout her career the broad understanding of technology she gained from NTNU has been worth its weight in gold.
What motivates you?
- To work with people, to make an organisation interact well internally, and to achieve the goals we have set. I am also motivated by working on important social missions.
Need to solve the energy and climate crisis
Tonne is also concerned with innovation and research, as they are important driving forces in getting society towards desired goals. She has been responsible for research and innovation in both Hydro and Telenor and is the Chair of Board at the Research Council of Norway.
What do consider the most important issue society is facing?
- Norway - and the world - is in the middle of a climate crisis and an energy crisis that must be resolved. Many things are moving in the right direction, but the state must be more forward-looking and accelerate electrification. There is also a great need for a major restructuring of the workforce, where the 200,000 jobs in the oil and gas industry must be replaced by new jobs in green energy.
Even if the challenges we face are major, she believes that Norway is in a good position to manage the transition to green energy.
A world not only based on profit
How do you see the world in 50 years?
- I think we live in a zero-emission society based on renewable energy. Hopefully we have managed to keep the temperature down and have a more sustainable way of living with circular economy, repurposing, and conservation of biodiversity. Maybe we have found new economic models that are not solely based on growth, she says - and adds with a smile:
- We can hope that we have become wiser and don't fight and just think about ourselves all the time, but the latter I do not quite know if I believe in.
8 a bit on the side
What was your dream job when you were 10 years old?
- For a long time, it was to become a teacher, but then I became a civil engineer
Your biggest mistake as a student?
- I had a couple of major mistakes in German when I studied there, but I can't go into detail about that…
What talent would you like to have?
- To be able to get up and perform an aria perfectly
Which 3 qualities do you value most in others?
- Honesty, humour, and care for other people
This makes me happy
- A good dinner with good friends and family
I'm afraid of
- I am constantly worried that something will happen to my children
Favourite travel destination
- Our cabin in Larvik
One or more legendary book recommendations
- A little life of Hanya Yanagihara - a thick book that I read in two days.

Long Beach officials, environmentalists blast Trump's offshore drilling plan

One spill — something the size of Deepwater Horizon — could spread up and down the entire East Coast."
Amanda Moore, Surfrider Foundation
By Anthony Rifilato
Long Beach officials and local environmentalists voiced their opposition last week to the Trump administration's plan to open ocean waters along the East Coast to offshore oil and gas drilling, saying the move would hurt the environment and devastate coastal communities in the event of a catastrophe like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
On Feb. 14 at the Suffolk County Legislature in Smithtown, Acting City Manager Mike Tangney, members of the Surfrider Foundation from Long Beach, the Citizens Campaign for the Environment and others attended a hearing organized by Assemblyman Steven Englebright (D-Setauket), chairman of the Assembly's Environmental Conservation Committee.
There they told state representatives that a proposal announced last month by the U.S. Department of the Interior to open more than 90 percent of the outer continental shelf — the submerged land three miles off a state's coastline — for oil exploration and drilling could ravage local economies and the environment.
"One spill — something the size of Deepwater Horizon — could spread up and down the entire East Coast," said Long Beach resident Amanda Moore, a co-chair of the Surfrider Foundation's Central Long Island Chapter, referring to the 2010 oilrig disaster that killed 11 people and spilled millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. "Before you even start drilling, it will decimate our natural habitat and wildlife that's just returning to Long Beach — just recently, we started to have whales come back because we cleaned up our ocean."
The hearing was held a day before the Interior Department held a public meeting in Albany to discuss the Draft Offshore Oil & Gas Leasing Program for 2019-24, which would open thousands of miles of U.S. coastline to oil drilling, including regions in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans that members of Surfrider said have been protected for decades.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management opened a 60-day comment period last month during which citizens can offer feedback on the proposal. The meeting in Suffolk County was organized after residents and officials criticized the location of the federal hearing in Albany, saying that it should have been held on Long Island.
Testimony given to the Assembly committee was shared at the federal hearing in Albany. Tangney spoke on behalf of the City Council, and blasted the proposal, which would lift a moratorium on such drilling imposed by President Barack Obama through 2022.
"Their plan states that they'll be considering anything three miles off the coast," said Ryan McTiernan, executive assistant to the city manager, who also attended the hearing. "At any range, we feel it would be very close to the shoreline, and that containing a spill would be very difficult before reaching the shore."
"It would impact the entire South Shore," added City Council President Anthony Eramo. "If there was some sort of accident, it could destroy lots of people's livelihoods and homes. There is also the potential for spillage and accidents due to severe weather events."
In January, the Trump administration said it would allow new offshore oil and gas drilling in nearly all U.S. coastal waters, "giving energy companies access to leases off California for the first time in decades and opening more than a billion acres in the Arctic and along the Eastern Seaboard," The New York Times reported.
The move drew fire from U.S. Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand and more than 30 of their Senate colleagues, who called on Trump to reverse the decision.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo sent a letter to Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke last month asking for New York to be added to the list of states exempted from the plan. "Offshore drilling … introduces the unprecedented risk of extremely hazardous oil spills, contributes to the acceleration of climate change and conflicts with New York's ambitious agenda to develop offshore wind energy," Cuomo wrote. "With this plan, the federal government is trampling on the interests of New Yorkers and threatening the future wellbeing of our state."
Like Cuomo, many locals criticized the administration for announcing that Florida would be exempt, after that state's Republican governor, Rick Scott, opposed the plan. Cuomo called the decision "arbitrary," though the administration subsequently stated that Florida had not been excluded.
According to Cuomo, like Florida, New York's coastal waters are vital to its economy. Long Island and the New York Harbor are home to 11.4 million people, and 60 percent of the state's population live along nearly 2,000 miles of coastline.
"An oil spill offshore New York's Atlantic coast would cripple the state's ocean tourism economy and devastate coastal ecosystems," Cuomo wrote, "and toxic chemical releases associated with day-to-day drilling operations and pipeline leaks would negatively impact marine and other wildlife."
State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, a Democrat from Long Beach and a ranking member of the state Environmental Conservation Committee, said offshore drilling is "too risky." "We should not gamble with our environment," Kaminsky added.
Surfrider has held two local meetings and a film screening in Long Beach to inform residents about the issue, and has urged them to sign a petition opposing the plan. Members have also traveled to Washington to lobby against the proposal.
"It's not just the oil drilling, it's the exploration for the oil that is a huge detriment that we're fighting against," said Surfrider Vice Chair Marvin Weiss. "All of the U.S. coastline's governments are up in arms."
The drilling proposal comes after Long Beach officials and residents successfully fought a plan to build a liquefied natural gas import terminal roughly 16 nautical miles off Jones Beach, amid environmental and safety concerns. Cuomo vetoed the LNG plan in 2015, and announced last year the approval of a 90-megawatt wind farm to be built 30 miles off the coast of Montauk, which would serve as a clean, renewable energy resource.
"At this point, we shouldn't be investing in fossil fuels anymore," said Eramo, who was a vocal opponent of the LNG terminal. "Not only do they pollute the atmosphere with greenhouse gases, but the potential for accidents can destroy parts of our ocean and shoreline. Renewable technology is getting cheaper and cheaper every day, and I think most people are in agreement that we would like to see windmills out in the ocean."

Senior Israel Defense Forces officers will meet with their counterparts from the Palestinian security apparatus in the West Bank on Tuesday evening in an attempt to jointly reduce tensions in the territories following the recent terror attacks.

Palestinians not looking for new intifada
Like the Palestinians, Israelis will have to get used to a violent Jerusalem
It will be the first senior-level meeting since the murder of the Henkin couple last Thursday night.
The Palestinian Authority has been attempting to calm tensions in the West Bank over the past day, a senior Southern Command officer said on Tuesday. He expressed hope that violence by Jewish settlers on Palestinians would also be currtailed. Settlers are believed to be responsible for several violent incidents in the Hebron area in recent days.
Asked whether the recent violence indicated the beginning of a third intifada, the officer said that the recent events were "cycles of terror that come and go and not a general uprising."
The army does not perceive any immediate danger of a wide-ranging outbreak of violence, he added.
Meanwhile, the IDF and the Shin Bet have recovered the M-16 rifle used in the terror attack in which Eitam and Naama Henkin were killed near the settlement of Itamar on Thursday.
One of the suspects in the attack admitted during questioning that the rifle was hidden in a business he owned in Nablus. Troops raided the business on Monday night and retrieved the rifle.
The interrogations of the suspects are continuing.

Activists propose G.A. subsidies
Mayor Willie Brown told the :: San Francisco Chronicle last week that he is considering a plan to lease residential hotels to house the homeless. This week homeless advocates introduced a counterproposal that would give scarce housing funds to low-income tenants rather than hotel owners.
The-mayor told Chronicle staff reporter Edward Epstein that he might "see if the city could lease entire buildings," according to a Jan. 6 Chronicle report. Mayoral spokesperson P.J. Johnston told the Bay Guardian he did not know anything about the details of such a proposal and did not know if Brown had introduced any plan in writing. He said the mayor was "looking for more units of affordable and low-income housing and housing for homeless people."
"If [residential hotels are) an untapped resource, Mayor Brown wants to tap it," Johnston said, "The consistent thing about the mayor is he has an open mind about virtually any proposal as long as he thinks it will work." Steve Williams, an organizer with People Organized to Win Employment Rights (POWER), a project of the Coalition on Homelessness, said Brown's proposal is the wrong approach to the city's homeless problem. He said the city should increase subsidies to General Assistance recipients. The city's habitable residential hotels are already filled to capacity most days of the month, Williams said.
"The crisis is not that there is a plethora of empty rooms. The crisis is that people don't have enough money to stay in those rooms, " Williams said.
He added that if the city increased its resources for inspecting buildings and improving living standards at low income hotels, more units could be brought up to the city's housing code standards and opened to low-income residents.
On Jan. 9 the Tenderloin Housing Clinic published a report titled "Jobs Require Housing: The Case Study for a Rent Subsidy Program," compiled by members of AmeriCorps Volunteers in Service to America, President Clinton's national service program.
According to the report, about 2,700 residential hotel rooms in the city rent for $300 to $400 a month. G.A. recipients receive $345 each month, which has to cover all their expenses. Most are unable to maintain rooms for a full month and move out after two or three weeks.
The report criticizes the San Francisco Department of Human Services recent proposal to move recipients off welfare and into work (see "Checking It Twice," 12/24/97), saying that it is often impossible for people to find jobs without long-term housing. "Unless G.A. recipients' housing needs are addressed, much of the millions of dollars to be spent on job assistance will be squandered, homelessness will continue to rise, and the opportunity for San Francisco to be a national leader in progressive welfare reform will be lost," the authors conclude.
The report urges the department to implement a rent-subsidy program. The authors propose that 270 participants each year be given a $100 monthly subsidy to enable them to afford permanent housing. Such a program would cost the city $324,000 annually.
"People will exit the program quicker because they'll have permanent housing and they will find jobs," study coauthor Rebecca Graff told us. "That will allow other people to come and enter the program and have permanent housing."
Dorothy Enisman, director of DHS's G.A. program, said the department is considering creating a rent subsidy program for individuals who are going through job training or work programs.
Randy Shaw, executive director of the Tenderloin Housing Clinic, said a rent-subsidy program would most likely pay for itself by reducing the number of people on the city's G.A. rolls.
Shaw said initial meetings with the city have been promising. "I believe the city is going to adopt our proposal," he told the Bay Guardian. "If they do, we may actually see something very positive happening on homeless policy for a change."

Containerized shipping developed as a result of the need to transport general cargo or product in lots too small for the traditional bulk system, as well as the need to move high-value and delicate cargo.

When transporting goods to an international location, there are many container ships that run regular routes to a variety of destinations. Unitization comes to our aid in such situations.
There are now very few parts of the world from which door-to-door container services cannot be offered. This helps the customer to receive the order in less time. The supply chain exists so that manufacturers can be connected to the suppliers and the middlemen to the shippers till it reaches the end user. To find the volume of space needed to stow a given tonnage, multiply the number of long tons by the stowage factor of the commodity and divide the result by one minus the estimated broken stowage percentage. The doors also prevent the cargo from falling out the back of the box.

Important information about marble

Marble is a porous and living stone material which means that pattern and colour changes can occur, each top is therefore unique. In order for the marble to maintain its beautiful surface, it is important to treat it carefully and follow the recommended care advice. Keep in mind that a polished marble top has a certain repellent effect on liquids, but despite this, it has a greater tendency to get visible etchings and matt spots when it comes into contact with acidic substances, compared to a matte marble top. We take no responsibility for any damage that may occur, all of with marble is at your own risk.

Marble is very sensitive to acidic liquids such as juice, wine and acidic cleaners, but also coffee, tea and soft drinks can cause the surface to be etched.

Marble can also absorb and get dark discolouration of oils or water during prolonged contact.

Always use underlays under porcelain, glass and hot pans.

Always clean immediately with a cloth or sponge when spilling to prevent damage to the marble.

Clean the stone top with a solution of water and a PH neutral soap and then wipe with a dry cloth.

Do not use detergents containing acid, vinegar, bleach, ammonia or other general purpose cleaners.

Impregnating marble is highly recommended. Sewing machine oil is not recommended as it darkens the stone.

Please note that the best way to treat stains or etching depends on the surface and colour of the marble and the substance that has caused the damage. Ask an expert for advice for your marble top.

Taroli - What is it?

Marble is a natural material that has been shaped in the bedrock for 140 million years, and when extracting the stone, it may occur small bubbles that have been formed which are usually a few millimetres in diameter. These gas bubbles are called Taroli and are usually refilled and sealed to the extent possible. You always want to preserve the stone's natural design and charm, which also means that there may be smaller water crystals formed naturally by the water that has flowed through the bedrock all these years.

CBCI, NCCI to mark Dalit Liberation Sunday on Nov 11
November 3, 2018 Matters India
By Matters India Reporter
New Delhi, November 2, 2018: The Catholic Bishops' Conference of India – Office for Dalits and Backward Classes (CBCI Office of SC/BC) and the National Council of Churches in India (NCCI) will jointly mark the Dalit Liberation Sunday (DLS) on November 11 nationwide.
The theme "As for Me and My Household, We will serve the Lord" (Joshua 24:15)" is taken on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Kandhamal violence (2008 – 2018).
"The celebration of DLS is a clarion call to the whole Christian community in India to renew our faith and to awaken our consciousness to be the voice of the voiceless and to stand with the vulnerable Dalits in society," Father Devasagayaraj M. Zackarias, CBCI office of SC/BC secretary, told Matters India.
"We are united in the same spirit of God to love and treat others with brotherly and sisterly concern. The Indian Constitution gives us the freedom to profess to practice and to propagate one's religion. But in reality our Dalit sisters and brothers are denied the Scheduled Castes rights just because they convert to Christianity thus denying their religious freedom," he added.
On the 10th anniversary of the violence against Christians in Kandhamal disgtrict of Odisha state, the Church admires the Christians who sacrificed their lives, land, houses, property, and livelihood for the sake of their faith. They sacrificial blood is the seed of faith.
"We also pray for the 7 innocents who are in jail for the past 10 years waiting for justice," the CBCI official said.
Dalit brethren are not only economically poor but politically powerless and socially outcastes. The man-made caste system which remains a social stigma throughout generations has divided them that they are not able to feel and experience the real presence of God in their lives.
"God created all to be His loving children and to become Christ – like. But in reality we remain strangers to God by discriminating our own fellow members. The Dalit Christians not only experience discrimination within the Church but also by the State and the society," Father Zackarias said.
The CBCI continues to take necessary steps to eradicate the caste based discrimination that exists in the Church. In this regard a policy for empowering Dalits was released in December 2016 which declares that 'Caste discrimination is a grave social sin.'
Dalits are at the bottom of Hinduism's social hierarchy. For centuries, Dalits have battled discrimination ranging from segregation and ostracism to violence. Hindus are traditionally grouped into thousands of castes, their membership determined by birth.
"DLS is an opportunity to give hope, to empower and to uplift the lives of Dalits. The narrations of Prophet Elijah who was sent to the widow who was starving and the widow whom Jesus praises for her generosity give us the hope that God is on the side of the poor and the marginalized. Let us come together to take part in creating a peaceful and harmonious society to live, love and share together," the priest explained.
So far there is hardly any progress with regard to the case impleaded by the CBCI represented by the CBCI office for SC/BC in the Supreme Court of India (I.A.No.21/13 in W.P.No.180/04) challenging the validity of Constitution (Scheduled Caste) order 1950 paragraph 3 which excludes Christians and Muslims of Scheduled Caste Origin from the Scheduled Caste list thus denying freedom of religion.
"We hope to get justice from the Supreme Court based on the merit of the case," Father Zackarias said.
DLS is celebrated every year since 2007 by CBCI in collaboration with the reformative churches, NCCI, which is the Ecumenical Forum of the Protestant and Orthodox Churches in India.
"From 2017 onwards with the approval of the CBCI Standing Committee, we celebrate it on the second Sunday of November," said Father Zackarias.
Christians form 28 million or just 2.3 percent of India's 1.2 billion people but more than 60 percent of them come from Dalit and tribal communities.

The appearance of the stainless steel countertop is very avant-garde, and the sparkling crystal is not easy to get dirty. Even if it is contaminated with oil, it is easy to clean up, and it will be brighter when used for many days. It feels cool in the summer and can eliminate the sensation of hot smoke caused by cooking.
The design of Stainless Steel Kitchen Cabinets is mostly simple straight lines, horizontal and vertical, reducing unnecessary decorative lines, thus creating a sense of open space. In such a main atmosphere, the same material sink, stove, range hood can be more concealed embedded in it, feeling seamless. In order to prevent the noise of the base cabinet and the hanging cabinet of the hard material from opening and closing, the cabinet will be equipped with silencers in these places, so that you can enjoy the quiet cooking time.
The stainless steel cabinets are separable and all components can be freely installed and combined for full functionality. The stainless steel cabinet is a combination of three movable and independent components: a cabinet with an oven and a dishwasher, a panel of oven and dishwasher, a metallic finish, a cooking heating zone in the middle, and a stainless steel wash outside. Slots and external kitchen showers, countertops and wall panels are also made of stainless steel.
Some people think that stainless steel cabinets must be matched with the same material sinks. In fact, the sinks with stone materials are also unbalanced in the style of toughness, while the mixing objects of stainless steel sinks are more abundant. The countertops of marble, artificial stone and refractory boards complement each other. It is wear-resistant, easy to clean, and the size and partition design can fully reflect the fun of division of labor. So please mix it as needed.
