Discussion in 'Fares Advice & Policy' started by Seaeagle, 14 Apr 2019.
I am currently 4 days into a 7 day all line rover, and this morning, (Sunday 14th April) I was intending to visit the Keighly & Worth Valley Railway and I had a seat reserved on the 09:00 KGX - LDS. However the ECML fell apart this morning, in fact the first train to leave KGX was at 09:53 which was fast to York, and as you can guess it was rather full after several trains had been cancelled. In the end I had to give up with my day ruined and having lost a day on my rover. I'm not trying to get a full day back on my rover, just wondering if I should be able to get something back as I would have been at least two hours late getting to Leeds, if not more? (As a note, the first Leeds train left KGX at 11:59).

I think it's worth submitting a Delay Repay form if there is a facility to add an explanatory note (I think most, if not all, TOC websites have this function on the form). Otherwise, it probably boils down to giving Customer Services a ring or sending an email, which naturally will have mixed results in the real world beyond this sentence!
You are entitled to delay repay although it's sometimes a bit random in how they calculate it for Rover tickets.
Unless it hadn't previously been used I don't think a refund would be applicable either.
It sounds like a job for customer services tbh.
The advice they were giving out at KGX this morning was that if your journey is not essential, don't travel. So as far as I see it, my journey would not be deemed essential, (going for a trip on a steam train on the KWVR), so as I'm following LNER instructions, I should be entitled to some kind of refund?
The rover has already been used for 3 days.
Did you not travel at all that day?
I would normally have said to head to St Pancras, but there was engineering work on that line, so not the best day for getting to Leeds.
Technically you aren't entitled to Delay Repay as you chose not to make the journey, but you should get something back for the inconvenience.
I'd have thought a visit to an alternative railway might have been on the cards. I think they will be reluctant to issue compensation of the full value of a day ALR. A reasonabe compromise would be to issue an appropriate sum to the value of the Delay Repay you would have been entitled to, had you made the journey.
A refund is problematical as this would be obtained from the retailer, and any value you got from the ticket (e.g. three days travel at the cheapest price that would have been possible for daily tickets; this would be difficult to calculate as no daily Rover/Ranger price exists) would need to be deducted from it. It would also not be appropriate if you wished to continue using it.
make the journey and claim Delay Repay.
Apologies I misread, didn't realise the journey was abandoned. In that case then Customer Relations should really make a payment equal to what the delay repay would've been.
In the past when I was unable to do any travel on one day of an All Line Rover I was able to have it endorsed for an additional day's validity - probably a bit too late to ask for that now, I fear, as anyone you ask tomorrow won't know that you didn't use it elsewhere, but it's worth bearing in mind for the future.
I did a 1st class 7 day ALR a couple of years back, in which during the week i racked up 8 hours of delays, mostly the Caledonian sleepers and one late Virgin Trains East Coast, all together I got back about 560 of the approx 750 cost of the ticket, I got in contact with both customer services, and with a bit of work got the above refund, the Caledonian sleepers had the best refund policy of the lot.

School Board mum on member probe
Sari Lesk
STEVENS POINT - School Board members refused to reveal Monday night any details of their closed-door discussion about a board member's conduct.
The board sealed the doors to the public Monday and refused to reveal which member or members were the target of the discussion or any details of the conduct involved, releasing only a meeting notice that summarized the subject of the meeting. Board Vice President Jeff Ebel also declined to comment on the matter prior to the meeting.
A USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin reporter at the meeting told the board the news organization objected to the closed session because it believed the conversation about the conduct of an elected public official should take place in public. Board President Meg Erler said the board consulted with legal counsel who said that the closed session was justified given the circumstances at hand. She did not elaborate on what the circumstances were.
Erler declined after the meeting to comment on the matter; and the board took no action on the subject.
Wisconsin law says that all meetings of elected bodies are presumed to be open except under rare circumstances. The School Board said in documents that it was sealing the meeting to talk about matters that, "if discussed in public, would be likely to have a substantial adverse effect upon the reputation of any person referred to in such histories or data or involved in such problems or investigations."
The board voted 7-2 to go into closed session, with Kim Shirek and Lisa Totten opposed. Shirek said she agreed with the newspaper's stance.
"We go into closed session way too much," she said. "When there's certain things that should be discussed in public, the board needs to start doing that instead of hiding everything behind closed doors."

Q: Salesforce Lightning error handling Im not getting error written on trigger.adderror in files related list in lightning.
Trigger.adderror is not working in lightning file related list.

A: It's a known issue. You can find the details here.
Custom error messages not displayed in Lightning Experience when uploading files
Summary:-

Server error messages (added via addError() for instance) are not
  displayed in various scenarios (e.g. file upload) in Lightning
  Experience. They are displayed as expected in Classic.

Repro:-

*

*Create an Apex trigger named 'AttachmentTriggerForInsert' on ContentDocumentLink object as following:

 trigger AttachmentTriggerForInsert on ContentDocumentLink (after Insert) {
    for(ContentDocumentLink obj : Trigger.new){
    obj.addError('Test message! You can not upload the file!!!');
    }
    }

*Switch to Lightnig Experience if necessary

*Go to "Files" tab

*Click "Upload Files" button and choose any file to attach.

You will see "Can't upload [Your uploaded file name]." error message instead of seeing 'Test message! You can not upload the file!!!' set in 'AttachmentTriggerForInsert' Apex Trigger. Note this message is below the uploader progress bar.
In Classic, the custom error message is expected.
Workaround

If the org has some record types on ContentVersion, errors will be
  displayed in the "Add File Details" panel, where the user will see
  "Enter details on next page", instead of "Can't upload file".

Updates
Multiple file uploads were introduced in Summer '17 (https://releasenotes.docs.salesforce.com/en-us/summer17/release-notes/rn_files_related_list_drag.htm). This functionality is available in the following scenarios:

*

*[Desktop only] Files home

*[Desktop only] Files/Notes and Attachments related list

*[Desktop and Mobile] lightning:fileUploader component

In these places, the component returns a hard coded error message (i.e. "Can't upload") instead of a custom error message set for instance via addError().

The Postman è un cortometraggio muto del 1910 diretto da Frank Wilson.

Trama
Il figlio di un postino licenziato si mette sulle tracce di un ladro e riesce a catturarlo.

Produzione
Il film fu prodotto dalla Hepworth.

Distribuzione
Distribuito dalla Hepworth, il film - un cortometraggio di 175,02 metri - uscì nelle sale cinematografiche britanniche nel febbraio 1910.

Si conoscono pochi dati del film che, prodotto dalla Hepworth, fu distrutto nel 1924 dallo stesso produttore, Cecil M. Hepworth. Fallito, in gravissime difficoltà finanziarie, il produttore pensò in questo modo di poter almeno recuperare il nitrato d'argento della pellicola.

If you have taken the train from Heathrow airport into London you will be familiar with this station sign. You and a staggering 35 million other passengers have passed in and out of Paddington. Paddington, also known as London Paddington, is a central London railway terminus and London Underground station complex, located on Praed Street in the Paddington area. The site has been the London terminus of the Great Western Railway and its successors since 1838. Much of the main-line station dates from 1854 and was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. It was first served by London Underground trains in 1863, as the original western terminus of the Metropolitan Railway, the world's first underground railway. Today, Paddington tube station is served by the Bakerloo, Circle, District, and Hammersmith & City lines. Hang a memory on your tree this year with this beautiful blown glass ornament.

It's morning. You're late for work and you've already had to skip that last cup of coffee in an effort to get to the office on time. You run to the car, get in and turn the key - then nothing! Sound familiar? Many of us have been there. In fact, according to one of the UK's leading breakdown cover providers, around one-quarter of all vehicle breakdowns happen at home, or a short distance from it. Rarely though does standard roadside assistance cover you for a home call-out. Instead, you'll need a different level of breakdown cover -- breakdown assistance at home.
Breakdown assistance at home brings together all of the benefits offered by a standard roadside assistance policy and delivers them to your driveway or home parking area. You get access to a team of professional mechanics 24/7, 365 days a year. So, if you have a problem with your vehicle, you can call for breakdown assistance from the comfort of your own home, grab a cup of coffee, and wait for the patrol to fix the fault.
And fix it they will do, most of the time at least. Just as with standard roadside assistance, many breakdown operators have an enviable repair record when it comes to attending faulty vehicles at home. When the mechanic arrives the aim is to get your vehicle running and you on your way with the minimum of fuss. In up to 85% of cases this is achieved.
But, should the breakdown patrol be unable to fix the fault, they won't leave your vehicle stranded on your driveway. As with your roadside cover the breakdown patrol will offer to tow the vehicle to the nearest approved garage. Some providers may tow the vehicle to a garage of your choice, so long as the final destination is not more than a few miles from your home address. If you need help in explaining the fault to the garage, the breakdown mechanic will help you out there too.
All in all, the home assistance option gives you the peace of mind that should your vehicle not start in the mornings, or if it were to develop a fault a little way down the road, professional help is on hand. Just pick up the phone and dial for breakdown assistance!
The home assistance option tends not to be available as a standalone breakdown policy. To arrange cover you'll need either to buy a breakdown cover package that includes home breakdown assistance -- for example, a policy that includes roadside and home breakdown together, or you'll need to purchase it as an upgrade to your existing cover.
Is it worth it? That depends on you. But one thing is certain -- breakdown cover that ties together a roadside policy with home assistance means that you'll have complete vehicle breakdown coverage, no matter where you and your vehicle are located in the UK.

What I Would Write Home About came about when I was randomly reading a book about writing home – in the traditional form – and I figured it would be a fun idea to blog.
Ultimately, my blog is a way for me to write a diary, without the ability to run out of pages or ink!
My blog is equestrian themed, real and if you want a blogger term – it would probably be 'lifestyle'.
I am studying to become a British Horse Society registered Riding Instructor, currently in Lancashire. I am one exam off being an Assistant Instructor at the moment.
I'm 24, married, own a Jack Russell dog called Zeus, a bay Irish Sport Horse gelding called Oscar, drink Earl Grey tea and my favourite afternoon snack is fresh white toast with butter and Marmite. I am also passionate about Scottish Dancing.

Interaction of TGF-β with immune cells in airway disease
Benjamin Moore, Richard F. Murphy, Devendra K. Agrawal
Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), and cystic fibrosis (CF), chronic diseases of the airways, are characterized by symptoms such as inflammation of the lung tissue, mucus hypersecretion, constriction of the airways, and excessive fibrosis of airway tissue. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, a cytokine that affects many different cell processes, has an important role in the lungs of patients with some of these chronic airway diseases, especially with respect to airway remodeling. Eosinophils can be activated by and are a major source of TGF-β in asthma. The action of TGF-β also shows associations with other cell types, such as T cells and neutrophils, which are involved in the pathogenesis of asthma. TGF-β can perpetuate the pathogenesis of COPD and CF, as well, through its induction of inflammation via release from and action on different cells. The intracellular signaling induced by TGF-β in various cell types has been elucidated and may point to mechanisms of action by TGF-β on different structural or immune cells in these airway diseases. Some possible treatments, especially that prevent the deleterious airway changes induced by the action of either eosinophils or TGF-β in asthma, have been investigated. TGF-β-induced signaling pathways, especially those in different cell types in asthma, COPD, or CF, may provide potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of some of the most devastating airway diseases.

N2 - Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), and cystic fibrosis (CF), chronic diseases of the airways, are characterized by symptoms such as inflammation of the lung tissue, mucus hypersecretion, constriction of the airways, and excessive fibrosis of airway tissue. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, a cytokine that affects many different cell processes, has an important role in the lungs of patients with some of these chronic airway diseases, especially with respect to airway remodeling. Eosinophils can be activated by and are a major source of TGF-β in asthma. The action of TGF-β also shows associations with other cell types, such as T cells and neutrophils, which are involved in the pathogenesis of asthma. TGF-β can perpetuate the pathogenesis of COPD and CF, as well, through its induction of inflammation via release from and action on different cells. The intracellular signaling induced by TGF-β in various cell types has been elucidated and may point to mechanisms of action by TGF-β on different structural or immune cells in these airway diseases. Some possible treatments, especially that prevent the deleterious airway changes induced by the action of either eosinophils or TGF-β in asthma, have been investigated. TGF-β-induced signaling pathways, especially those in different cell types in asthma, COPD, or CF, may provide potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of some of the most devastating airway diseases.

Why Bangladesh won't fall into a crisis like Sri Lanka, Pakistan?

The South Asian Island nation, Sri Lanka is facing the challenge of the worst economic recession in history. Sri Lanka's economy has collapsed. The facilities of the citizens are also being closed. Sri Lanka is going through a difficult time in the midst of political and administrative crises.
The collapse of the tourism industry, the country's main source of income for the last two years, is one of the explanations provided by many international media outlets and economic analysts for the disaster in Sri Lanka. As a result, Sri Lanka's income from this sector has been severely harmed. The large foreign loan installments acquired earlier in various projects to attract tourists, on the other hand, must be returned. Furthermore, industrial production has plummeted, as have export profits and remittances. The country is in an all-time economic crisis, including a production deficit, despite lowering taxes and VAT and cutting the use of pesticides in agriculture to zero.
On the other hand, Pakistan's fragile economy (high inflation and low growth) is one of the hot points in South Asia now. This issue creates some sort of political problem in Pakistan now.
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has said that Bangladesh will not face the same economic crisis as Sri Lanka. Edmin Ginting, the agency's resident representative in Bangladesh, said Bangladesh's macroeconomic management is very good. In addition, the debt-to-GDP ratio is in a tolerable position. So, there is no reason to fear. Bangladesh is in a better position than Sri Lanka. Bangladesh will not be in a crisis like Sri Lanka.
He made the remarks in response to a question from reporters at the launch of the ADB report 'Asian Development Outlook' on Wednesday. Ginting said Bangladesh's debt management is very good. Sri Lanka did not have that. That is why the country is in crisis. Overall, it can be said that things like Sri Lanka will not happen in Bangladesh.
However, Edmin Ginting advised Bangladesh to be careful on two issues. These include strengthening debt management policies and increasing internal revenue collection. Economists say there is no comparison between the economies of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that Bangladesh is very alert to the economic crisis in Sri Lanka. She said, since the formation of the government, we have been repaying all the loans we have taken for development on time. Bangladesh is a country that has never defaulted on its loans. From there, the foundation of our economy is very strong. That's what I want to say. We are very careful. "
Bangladesh's and Sri Lanka's economies are not the same. Bangladesh's remittances (ex-pat income) are rising, and the country's reserves are at an all-time high. In addition, the money created by the export of well-known Made in Bangladesh products to other countries throughout the world is continuously increasing. Bangladesh's economy has improved even in the midst of the Corona pandemic. Overall, all of Bangladesh's economic indicators are improving. Bangladesh is unlikely to suffer the same economic catastrophe as Sri Lanka.
In Bangladesh, there is no scarcity of food production. The country's primary food imports are not entirely reliant on imported goods. Bangladesh's remittances and export earnings are increasing by the day. Bangladesh has 44.40 billion dollars in foreign exchange reserves. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, has reserves of less than 2 billion dollars. Furthermore, Bangladesh's per capita debt is 292.11, whereas Sri Lanka's per capita debt is 1650.
There is no basis for such fears. Bangladesh is on the right track. There is no reason to be like Sri Lanka. The Padma Bridge will be launched in June. Metrorail, Bangabandhu Tunnel, and some other special economic zones will also be launched this year. The launch of these projects will add a new dimension to the development of Bangladesh. If these projects are implemented, the return will come immediately. Investment in the country will increase. There will be employment. GDP growth will increase.
Bangladesh has plenty of food stocks. Storage in government warehouses is more than at any time in the past, about 2 million tons. Due to bumper yields in a few years, people also have ample stocks of paddy and rice. So, Bangladesh does not have to think about food for one or two years. There is no reason for inflation to rise to 20 percent like in Sri Lanka.
All the indicators of the economy of Bangladesh are positive. On the contrary, all the indicators in Sri Lanka were negative. So, it is not right to compare Bangladesh with Sri Lanka.
Padma Bridge, Karnafuli Tunnel, Metrorail, Dhaka Elevated Expressway, Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, Rampal Coal Power Plant, Matarbari Coal Power Plant, Payra Seaport, Deep Seaport, LNG Terminal. Economists think that if these projects are launched, good returns will come.
At present, the foreign debt balance of Bangladesh is 49.45 billion dollars. According to the Bureau of Statistics, the total population of the country is 169.3 million. As a result, the per capita foreign debt is 292.11 dollars. And Sri Lanka, a country of 20 million people, has a total foreign debt of 3.3 billion. As such, the per capita debt is 1,650 USD. The per capita debt of the people of Sri Lanka is 5.5 times more than that of Bangladesh. Since 2014, the debt burden has started to increase and the GDP has gradually fallen. In 2019, foreign debt reached 42.6 percent of GDP, in Bangladesh it is less than 13 percent.
A GDP of $411 billion, compared to Pakistan's GDP of $347 billion, makes Bangladesh the 33rd largest economy in the world. Experts forecast that the economy's size could double by 2030. The garment industry, which includes nearly 25 lakh of the 42.2 lakh females in the workforce.
Bangladesh outpaces Pakistan across all standard economic indicators, including nominal gross domestic product, GDP per capita, GDP's growth rate and foreign reserves. It has now become one of the world's fastest-growing economies.
Remittance:
Last January, Sri Lanka's remittance income was only 271 million US dollars. In January, remittances in Bangladesh reached nearly 17 billion US dollars and in March, remittances reached 18.6 billion USD. In the last fiscal year 2020-21, a record number of remittances of 24.7 billion came to Bangladesh even during the Corona epidemic. The Sri Lankan calendar year is a financial year. In 2021, remittances to the country reached about 8 billion. In other words, Sri Lankan expatriate income has collapsed in Corona.
Export Income:
Foreign reserve: In March, Bangladesh earned 4.76 billion from exports. In January, Sri Lanka earned 1.1 billion from exports. Although Sri Lanka's export earnings have plummeted, the opposite has happened in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh's existing reserves are 46 billion (with these reserves it is possible to cover six months of import costs). And Sri Lanka's reserves are less than 2 billion. At the end of January, Sri Lanka's reserves stood at 2.36 billion. At the end of last December, it was 3.1 billion dollars.
In April last year, Sri Lanka's reserves stood at 4.47 billion. At that time Bangladesh's reserves were over 46 billion. Besides, Sri Lanka's GDP is only 83 billion USD as against Bangladesh's 416 billion USD. On the other hand, a large working population, successful implementation of big projects, and an increase in expatriate income are the major strengths of Bangladesh.
Sri Lanka's inflation was 16 percent a few days ago. It is gradually increasing. Bangladesh's inflation is 6 percent. That means BD's economic management is much more integrated. Sri Lanka's GDP fell 3.6 percent. There, GDP has increased by 3.51 percent.
On the other hand, Bangladesh has very strong leadership, pragmatic fiscal policy, and foreign reserve. Sri Lankan case is totally different from Bangladesh. So, Bangladesh needn't worry about such a kind of economic collapse. Bangladesh must be cautious in this regard.

Peeled stems cook more evenly.
Trim broccoli stems to about 3 inches in length; peel stems. Cut broccoli lengthwise into spears.
Place broccoli in a large skillet; add 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil; cover and cook 5 minutes. Uncover; stir in remaining ingredients.
Mine came out soggy and tasted of soap thanks to the lemon zest. I prefer roasting or even just quickly microwaving to this method.
Used broccoli crowns because they were on sale so no trimming of stalk was needed. Steamed broccoli til al dente, melted butter, added salt, pepper and lemon zest and drizzled it over the cooked broccoli. Served this with grilled swordfish with pesto and orzo with prosciutto. Bright flavor from the broccoli and zing from the lemon made this a lively dish.
Enjoyed lemony taste...used lemon pepper instead to give a bit more zing.
Always looking for ways to change up broccoli. I steamed the stalks for 12 minutes. Loved the lemon zest with the pepper. Will make again.

How to Spend 100 million USD: an Opening Conference for the "Excellence Initiative" at AMU, Marek Kwiek describing research plans
November, 2019 December, 2019
A conference inaugurating the project – Initiative of Excellence – Research University took place in the Lubrański Hall. It was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Gowin. As Prof. Marek Kwiek, one of the fathers of the success of the application for a research university, said: "We will not support publications in weak journals with the funds we have raised. We will not support cooperation with universities outside the Shanghai 500 and we will not finance expenditure on staff and activities outside the competition. Now the most prestigious magazines, prestigious partners and large grants will count.
The four co-authors of the winning project (from the left: Prof. Marek Nawrocki, Ryszard Naskręcki, Marek Kwiek, and Beata Mikołajczyk).
Marek Kwiek's speech – "Adam Mickiewicz University as a research university – global science and publications and international cooperation" – is right here:
According to Professor Marek Kwiek, although we are the third university in Poland, we are weakened by fewer scientific articles per employee, less citations and fewer publications in the best scientific journals.
– Today, we have 39% of international publications in Adam Mickiewicz University and Poland the least in Europe. This needs to be changed," said Prof. Kwiek. – We assumed that the best predictor of future scientific successes of Adam Mickiewicz University as a research university is its current scientific potential, and the overriding goal is to support Adam Mickiewicz University as an international research university.
In Professor Warmus's opinion, the funds for the research university will be used to finance applying for funds, but not scientific research. We will not support publications in weak scientific journals, nor will we support cooperation with universities outside the Shanghai 500. Everyone has a chance to be supported, but within the framework of internationalisation of scientific research.
– We will also not finance expenditure on staff and activities in the non-competition mode – added Prof. Kwiek – We assure you that everything we do will take place in a transparent competition mode. What counts today are the most prestigious magazines, prestigious partners and large grants.

What Happened In September
Video: What Happened In September
Video: Song - September Feat. Mic the Microphone and PinkieSkye 2023, January
On September 10, the Biennale opened and caused a pilgrimage of architects to Venice. Only this time the impression was created that they were going to see not so much at foreigners as at the installation of Alexander Brodsky. The theme of the Biennale, set by Richard Burdett, seemed a bit dry to many, more worthy of a research institute than a Venetian show. And Brodsky suggested, on the contrary, something very artistic, nostalgic, beautiful and clever - either by going against the strict theme, or by finding a completely special style of expression for it. Something similar already happened, four years ago, when, contrary to M. Fuksas's socially responsible theme "… less aesthetics", one of the prizes was taken by Ilya Utkin, also a former "wallet". This year, the intrigue is added by the fact that the Biennale's management has finally abandoned the straightforward principle of announcing the winners before the opening, and everyone has the opportunity to guess what will happen until November.
Simultaneously with the Venetian mega-exhibition in Moscow throughout September, there was an exposition of another "former paper" architect - Mikhail Belov, an anniversary, complete, beautiful retrospection of his works, from the conceptual graphics of the 80s to the village of "150 palaces", more precisely, well-made Palladian villas, through early, Russian avant-garde-inspired projects of color and joy. The exhibition caused a lively discussion, which focused mainly on how the heroes of conceptual projects practice, and also how modernism and classics coexist within the work of one master. It must be said that Belov's exhibition shows that confident mastery of architectural form and bold, free use of color successfully reconcile both directions.
Along the way, in September, another intensification of the struggle for the Moscow heritage took place: a whole series of events of a completely different plan took place in this field. First of all, the leadership of the Moscow Heritage Committee, based in the mansion on Pyatnitskaya, was almost completely replaced. The change in the composition of an entire organization is not something that is unthinkable, but it happens infrequently (otherwise no one would simply be able to work) - it is noteworthy that radical personnel perturbations in the Moscow security organs appear (although no one officially announced this, of course) inspired by activity unofficial Moscow "guardians", which were soon called for a meeting with the new leadership of the Moscow Heritage Committee. At the meeting it was announced that now the opinion of the public will be listened to and everything will be fine with the monuments.
All this was preceded by the performance of young people at the demolished "Teplyi Ryadi" (the building of the shopping malls next to GUM), when many were taken to the police and even about to be tried, but in the end they changed their anger to mercy, turning their eyes in the opposite direction. And also - the publication by the project "Moscow, which does not exist" of the book "From Prechistenskie to Arbat gates", the first part of the conceived guide to the lost and disappearing Moscow. It seems that the movement in defense of old Moscow, weakened in the nineties, has not only revived in new forms (its leaders are the aforementioned project "Moscow, which does not exist" and "MAPS" are both based on Internet resources), but also began to bear fruit - different, from a sincere local history publication to a change in the leadership of security agencies. It would be good if this trend consolidated and continued, already bearing purely practical results - in the form of a total change in Moscow and then Russian policy in relation to heritage. So far, everything is not so simple.In particular, the plans of the Moscow Architectural Institute are in danger of creating a museum of architectural education in the Maroseyka area in the house of M.F. Kazakova - the mayor's office unexpectedly changed its decision and decided to give the house, for some reason, to the Dynamo society.
Returning to the world of modern architecture: in September, the "Freedom of Access" project was launched, the initiators of which Alexander Zmeul and Maria Fadeeva organize excursions to construction sites of interesting objects and photo excursions behind the modern architecture of Russian cities. An excursion to "Moscow City" and a seminar dedicated to the new Kazan, called the fashionable and incomprehensible word "trend bazaar", have already taken place.
Everything is so good that it looks like the reports of the Soviet five-year plans: one of the famous "wallets", almost a guru, is arranging an installation at the Biennale, the other - an anniversary exhibition in Moscow; in response to the activity of the public, the composition of the security bodies is changing, enthusiasts are seeking the opportunity to arrange excursions to construction sites and even take pictures there … Chickens, as you know, are counted in autumn, and autumn is still ahead. In October we will see a bountiful harvest of scientific conferences, several interior exhibitions and Zodchestvo.
We And They. What Happened In November
The final month of autumn turned out to be a particularly rich harvest for the presentation of awards, of which two are completely new, immediately loudly declared themselves. The second noisy topic of the month was the discussion of Gazprom tower projects - the winner was announced on December 1
The Crisis Never Happened. Meeting Of The Public Council Under The Mayor Of Moscow On June 24
On June 24, the public council began with a landscaping theme, "city furniture" and city toilets. And then he considered extremely large projects, as if it were not a crisis in the yard. A project with a total area of 1,000,000 square meters was supported. m at the intersection of the Varshavskoe Highway and the Moscow Ring Road, as well as a business complex on Malaya Pochtovaya, behind the new building of the Bauman Institute. They praised, but refrained from agreeing on another high-rise as part of MIBC "City" on site No. 20. The project of the museum "Tank T-34" was decided

The sad news of rockstar Prince's death was followed by reports that prescription opioids were found at the scene. The latest news reports Prince was possibly addicted to pain medication and his autopsy found the painkiller Percocet in his system.
For a long period of my life, I felt the only way I could create music was through the use of drugs and alcohol. I thought that when I was sober, I had no creative power. Because of this belief I would use more and more. After getting sober I felt that I was "normal" and that I would never be able to create music as I once did, that it would become generic.
I now see things differently. My creative depth is deeper than any ocean. At my core, I am pure creativity. For me to have this realization, I had to get and stay sober. One day clarity dawned on me and I realized my infinite potential for creating.
