Ushuaia international airport
Name of Project:
Government of Argentina
Construction period:
October 1988 - February 1995
The city of Ushuaia is often called "El Fin Del Mundo," the end of the world. The capital of the Argentine province of Tierra del Fuego is in fact close to the 55th parallel south, at the southern end of the peninsula on the Beagle Channel.
The development of tourism, owing to the city's attractiveness and to the breathtaking natural views all around, began during the 1980s. However, for Ushuaia to be completely appreciated as a starting point for excursions toward Tierra del Fuego National Park, Cape Horn, and the Antarctic, this remote city had to be reachable by visitors from the world over.
The project, started in 1988, envisaged the creation of new take-off and taxiing strips, buildings servicing the airport, and roads connecting with the city (around 4 km away). Its design features and size allow operation of larger-capacity passenger and cargo aircraft (B 747-400, MD 11, Airbus A-310, etc.), without restrictions, on a continuous 24-hour basis, in any meteorological conditions.
The challenge for the completion of the world's southernmost international airport was successfully met in 1995, and today Ushuaia is the gateway to the Tierra del Fuego and to Antarctica.
Recognitions: Given its orographic location and rigid, unstable microclimate, Ushuaia presents highly unusual airport requirements. By considering all these particular conditions, the new airport has obtained an ICAO Category II qualification.

Jaguars Insider: Amid CTE study, Allen Hurns tries to block out news
Ryan O'Halloran
Last week's results from a Boston University study regarding the neurodegenerative brain disease CTE caused a ripple throughout football. The study found that 110 of the 111 former NFL players who donated their brains for examination had symptoms of CTE.
CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, can be found in individuals who have been exposed to repeated head trauma. The symptoms include memory loss, confusion, aggression, depression and sometimes suicidal behavior.
Overall, 177 of the 202 all-level football players were diagnosed with CTE.
Receiver Allen Hurns was the first Jaguars player we thought of when the study was released.
Hurns was stretchered off the field in 2015 against San Diego and missed the next game. Last year, he was concussed against Kansas City, but played against Houston.
After practice Friday, Hurns said he has not discussed the CTE study with teammates or team officials.
"I try not to get too much into that," Hurns said. "One thing about me, I want to play the game with no fear. If I have signs or I'm not feeling well, then of course I'm going to relay that to the training staff.
"If I'm fine, I'm not going to read up on things that will make me nervous when I step on the field and have me second-guessing myself."
The Jaguars' injury reports last year reported seven concussions: Hurns, receiver Arrelious Benn (two), left tackle Kelvin Beachum, receiver Bryan Walters, tight end Neal Sterling and cornerback Aaron Colvin. Beachum, Sterling and Walters missed at least one game apiece.
Hurns said he had one concussion in college (Miami).
"Every concussion, I've had, it didn't linger so that was the good thing," Hurns said. "I had it that day and then maybe a headache but then things went fine."
The NFL has a concussion protocol in place for players, but there is no doubt players who feel they are just "dinged" don't report symptoms to the training staff.
MARA ON COUGHLIN
The last time we saw Giants owner John Mara and current Jaguars executive vice president Tom Coughlin in the same setting, it was January 2015 at a press conference announcing Coughlin's departure as Giants coach. Coughlin gave the Mara the cold shoulder after he stepped off the podium (we kind of liked it).
During an interview with the New York Post's Steve Serby on Wednesday, Mara said he and Coughlin are on good terms.
Asked if he had spoken to Coughlin, Mara said: "I run into him at league meetings and whatnot. We have a very friendly, cordial relationship. We're still big supporters of the Jay Fund [Coughlin's charity] – they're having their gala here in September and we'll be a big part of that."
Serby asked Mara if Coughlin will find it difficult to be involved in building the Jaguars, but not coaching the team.
"I think it'll be a big adjustment for him, watching the game from the press box area instead of being on the field," Mara said. "But I think he's certainly mature enough to handle it. He's been around long enough to know what he needs to do. I think he's going to be a great addition for [the Jaguars]."
Where Coughlin will watch the Jaguars' games remains a topic. We would be shocked if he sits in the press box like team executives do during some road games. Our guess is he follows Denver general manager John Elway's lead and sits in the coaching box.
TOP 400 REACTION
Our pal Andy Benoit at The MMQB ranked the top 400 "best" players in the NFL earlier this week.
The Jaguars' representatives: 35. Defensive end Calais Campbell; 54. Linebacker Telvin Smith; 60. Cornerback A.J. Bouye; 153. Defensive tackle Malik Jackson; 171. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey; 177. Linebacker Paul Posluszny; 235. Receiver Allen Robinson and 287. Free safety Tashaun Gipson.
Our take: Benoit probably wants to see more of Ramsey to get him into the top 100. … Smith should like his standing and should use it in his contract extension drive – Benoit calls him the "NFL's rangiest linebacker." … Brandon Linder isn't on the top 400 and is now the league's highest-paid center.
Benoit's top five: New England quarterback Tom Brady, Houston defensive end J.J. Watt, Denver linebacker Von Miller, Carolina linebacker Luke Kuechly and Pittsburgh running back Le'Veon Bell.
*The Jaguars are running more plays in practice – a combined 183 on Thursday-Friday compared with 102 during the first two days last year. The next thing to monitor is how coach Doug Marrone handles giving veterans a practice off. Last year, the days off started with the fourth practice.
*During his charity event last week, Jaguars receiver Allen Robinson announced his second annual Celebrity Surf & Turf event, which will be Oct. 2 at Epping Forest Yacht & Country Club. Robinson will be joined by teammates and there will be live and silent auctions. Tickets can be purchased at www.allenrobinson15.org.
*A.J. Cann spent most of the off-season (if not all) at left guard, his position at South Carolina, after playing two years at right guard for the Jaguars. But when camp started, he was at right guard. Our thought is Marrone will put Cann where he think he is the most needed – if the left guard competition falls apart, Cann will move there; if somebody establishes himself, then Cann will stay at right guard.

More Protests Expected in Sudan Despite Reinstatement of Prime Minister
Sudan's Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has been reinstated in a deal with the military, following weeks of unrest sparked by a coup. Despite the military promising to release all political prisoners, protesters have vowed to continue demonstrating for democracy.
Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok got his power back to continue with the country's political transition. He had been kept under house arrest since October 25 when the military overthrew his government and arrested some politicians.
Sulaima Al Khalifa, a human rights activist in Sudan, said the current deal did not change the situation on the ground.
"We did not expect it. It was a surprise and shock. We fear there is a lot of pressure happening, Hamdok is under pressure because it's not even logical and what he has done is not even logical according to the serious event that has happened. Because the violation of the rights of the people is still ongoing. Since 25th we don't have a state," she said.
On Sunday, a teenager was shot dead during a protest in the city of Omdurman according to a pro-democracy Sudanese doctors group. The Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors said 41 people have died so far since the coup.
Jonas Horner, a senior analyst on Sudan affairs at the International Crisis Group, said the prime minister will hold less power after Sunday's political deal in Khartoum.
"Hamdok appears to have been returned to power under some duress. He has made of the calculation he would rather be inside the process that now appears to be solidly controlled by the military, by the coup-makers from October 25 rather than being outside. The military had relied on bringing Hamdok back in that had been their key strategic approach. Hamdok does bring the military government a level of credibility," said Horner.
Some people in Sudan see Hamdok as a political hero for standing up to the military before and after the coup.
Horner predicts that sentiment will change drastically in the streets and Hamdok will find himself in a difficult political position.
"He will find himself far less popular with the street and he will find himself very low in this power that he will need to turn this back around in the direction of constituencies on the streets that he really should be pushing for. The relationship between the military and the street will only get worse. The military has shown its cards, it's clearly not seeking to deliver on the transition that people had called for during Sudan's revolution in 2018-2019," said Horner.
In December 2018, Sudanese took to the streets demanding good governance and respect for the rule of law. The street protest eventually drove former president Omar al-Bashir out of power after 30 years in office.

Too Loud To Ignore
by Jonathan Baker-Bates	on October 17, 2007
I am usually completely unsuccessful in hiding my glee at the demise of music publishers, and this post is no exception. I have been hoping for the last few years that what started as a trickle would become a flood. And now with Radiohead and even (gasp!) Madonna, it surely has.
I think the penny is dropping. If you are an artist, you now have a choice to become an artist and a business, or an artist and a slave.
Categories: Copyfighting, Culture & Society
I remain sceptical. Both Radiohead and Madonna can afford to take this kind of risk. Don't forget that Radiohead are also selling a £40 boxed set, and next year will be signing a deal to release the album in a standard way.
I still think that without significant financial backing from somewhere, making the leap from popular local band to national and international success is going to be very difficult. The likes of Starbucks and Victorias Secret are hardly likely to sign Deathfish Kitten Apocalypse* from Rotherham, and putting a band on the road without a big promotional budget or guaranteed sellout gigs (or income from another source) is generally not financially viable.
Yes, you can try to secure funding as any other small business might (bank loans, small business schemes etc) and give it a go, but getting that funding is going to be several degrees of magnitude more difficult than if you're starting up as a plumber.
The model is changing, but not to the degree that the "all music should be free" advocates would have you believe. Bands and artists will still have to sell physical/digital product, and will have to spend money to market that product (especially if they can't, for whatever reason, perform it live – the most common "alternative business model" I hear bandied about). That money may well in future come from different sources (Marillion have been proving that this can work for years) but there will still be a place for the "full service" record company.
* may not be an actual band.
Firstly, I need to retract my brief respect for Madge, since on further inspection, she's not actually doing a Radiohead at all, she's just signing up to another kind of publisher. My mistake.
You make a good point though, in fact it's the primary counter point to all this really. However, you say that for a band to get funding from a lender is going to be several degrees of magnitude more difficult than if you're starting up as a plumber. That may be the case now, but I don't see why that should be the case in the future. There is even more security for a lender giving £100K to a band if they can demonstrate they have 20,000 fans on MySpace, or whatever, compared to a plumber who may or may not have some leaking taps in Ealing to see to.
If I had to guess as to the eventual new order, Marillion's "multi-channel" model is the most likely to win out I think. I also don't doubt that record companies will survive in some form as well, in the same way as package holiday companies are still around – if rather completely decimated by business models that are more appropriate for the majority of bands.
There is also a rather uncomfortable down-side to all this though too: perhaps nobody will want to listen to Deathfish Kitten Apocalypse from Rotherham.
Eikoku says:
I don't think you are so off the mark. Madge's activities though different to Radiohead do show that thinking and business models are changing fast in the music industry. Far less so in the publishing and film industries.
Business models are a changing and as Madge's deal shows the aim is not only to sell CD but to get financial return around all the activities associated with music. Maybe Andrew Keen is right, it is ironic – the more the internet grows the more business models rely on the physical. eeekkk.
Who is archiving your blog? Will we be able to look back at our comments and see whether we were being prescient or just pathetic?
One point that I forgot to make – and it's slightly off the topic but…
If bands are to run themselves as businesses, why should being a great musician / songwriter make someone a great businessman?
There's an interesting interview with Broken Family Band that touches on this subject:
http://tinyurl.com/23xn6f (The Guardian)
Best quote: "I'll bet that without Razorlight they'd all be fucked for jobs. I wouldn't let Johnny Borrell do my photocopying."
Indeed, which is why I said artists now have a choice, and that record companies in some form will always be around for those bands that feel the need to sign their business over to somebody else.
And now Cliff, poster boy for the term extension campaign, is going to be giving downloads of his new album from his webiste using an "innovative price plan". Wow times are a changin …
Oh god and now I see that you too can't distinguish between licence the noun and license the verb – and when you get taken to court for defamation you're legal fees will be really high cos you'll have to hire a US lawyer and go to court in the US as you are using an American CC licenCe.Sensitive moi?
Well, I never knew that. But it's good to know that the Old Rule still holds: when correcting somebody else's English, you must make a mistake of your own. It's "your" not "you're."
This is quite amusing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRuN6ywtcKI&NR=1
I see that Radiohead have averaged about a pound per download.
Ah – that reminds me! One point I forgot to make in the original post was "Why do musicians need to earn bazillions?" Just because they have done during a relatively short, post-war period until the present, does not mean that they always must do in the future.
In any case, after a certain amount, money has very little to do with the quality or amount of music produced. To imply that the utopian dream of web-based distribution is a failure because Radiohead could only sell for a quid an album even after having built up a fan base beforehand is as wrong as it is illogical. It's wrong because it assumes that you are not a success unless you earn huge sums, and it's illogical because it implies the only way to build a large following is to use a record company.
Indeed what is "success" anyway? Take this band for example. Large following, normal record company, been going for years. They make some money (although their label takes a fair whack of course), but not enough to give up their day jobs – I work with one of them. They're no failure – but they're not driving Rollers into their swimming pools either.
Obviously musicians have no divine right to earn money, although to successfully (for any definition of successful) run any kind of band takes money (as per my first comment).
And the argument doesn't assume that huge sums are required for success. It does, however, point out that (if they weren't to release as a standard CD) they'll make only a tiny percentage of the amount they'd've made by more usual means. For Radiohead, this doesn't matter, but for Deathfish Kitten Apocalypse, it may well be the difference between carrying on or throwing in the towel. Neither does it assume that you need to have built up your following through the record company – look at Arctic Monkeys. I'm prepared to bet though that if Arctic Monkeys had put their first proper album out on an "honesty payment" basis, they'd've suffered exactly the same fate.
What it does indicate to me is that the "Free as in libre, not free as in beer" brigade are talking out of their arses. The reason they want this kind of stuff to be "free" is precisely because they don't want to pay anything for it. It has nothing to do with any intellectual or moral freedom and everything to do with wanting everything for nothing. But that's a different argument.
Well, obviously I would prefer not to pay for my music. But then, I'd have very little music to listen to after a while.
Basically it's a question of balance: moral, artistic, and economic. Moral in the sense that paying for art needs to be seen as a Good Thing. Artistic in the sense that bad art should be punishable by justified obscurity (a fate Britney Spears did not suffer, and Deathfish Kitten Apocalypse would need to avoid). Economic in the sense that successful art should not be allowed to generate profit that distorts the first two balances, ie the corrosive response "Why should I pay for this when they are – or will be – millionaires a hundred times over?"
And see my next blog post on the corrosive effects of this in general.
BTW some Radiohead thoughts from Mr Myers are interesting.

Goribor (Serbian Cyrillic: Горибор; trans. Burningbor) is a Serbian alternative rock band from Bor. Having performed as a teenage band called Projekat (Serbian Cyrillic: Пројекат; trans. The Project) from 1988 until 1992, after a four-year hiatus, the band was reformed in 1996 by the founding members, the vocalist Aleksandar Stojković "St" and guitarist Željko Ljubić "Pity" with the guitarist Predrag Marković "Peđa". Until 2003 they had been making home-made demo recordings eventually released through the Croatian independent record label Slušaj Najglasnije!, after being discovered by the head of the label Zdenko Franjić.
In 2006 Franjić sent their recordings to the Pula Art & Music festival demo competition on which they eventually won the second place and were praised for a unique rock expression. The success at the festival gave them an opportunity to release a studio album through a major record label Dancing Bear. Simultaneously the band had become popular in Serbia as well. Their eponymous debut studio album Goribor received positive critics and several awards in both Serbia and Croatia, including the webzine Popboks award for the best album in the previous decade.
In 1988, the band Projekat was formed in Bor by the teenage friends Aleksandar Stojković St (vocals, rhythm guitar) and Željko Ljubić "Pity" (lead guitar). The material the band had performed, inspired by the SST Records indie and alternative rock bands, including the song "Neću da stojim gde sam sad" ("I Do Not Want To Be Where I Am Now Standing"), was performed in Bor only. The band had also performed at the Bor Guitar festival, occupying the last position in the band competition, despite being the only band to play their own material. They performed until 1992 when Stojković moved to work and study in London and Ljubić went to serve the army.
In 1996, Aleksandar Stojković St returned from London, bringing a guitar, a rhythm machine and a TASCAM four-track Portastudio, and started recording home-made demo recordings with Ljubić on guitar. The recording equipment provided the two with an opportunity to make demo recordings of their own material despite the fact that probably it would not be released due to the difficulties in finding a record label. During the same year, the two were joined by Predrag Marković "Peđa" (guitar) and Goran Ljubić "Goger" (drums), thus Goribor was officially formed. The band got the name after an everyday account in RTB Bor when in the process of copper smelting slag is being separated from copper, giving an impression of a volcanic eruption or a large fire over the town.
Being unable to perform elsewhere, the band had only played in Bor until 1999 when they went on hiatus.

Women hurled her husband of 10 years reasoning that he abuses her sexually
(Last Updated on January 30, 2016 by Editor)
ZIMBABWE – A city woman hurled her husband of 10 years at Harare civil court claiming that he sexually abuse her as well as insult her in front of their children.
Ivy Mukandi told the court that Nicholas Sithole was a very abusive hubby and could no longer stand it anymore.
"My husband sexually abuses me every time we enter our matrimonial bedroom.
"Recently I gave birth to our third child, and soon after I came back from the hospital he wanted to have sex with me.
"Each time I refuse to have sex with him, he insults me or even punch me in the face.
"I have since initiated it to him that he marries a second wife if I am lacking in bed but he has refused.
"At one point, I reported him to both my and his relatives and he defaulted all the family meetings we arranged.
"I hope that my wish of the protection order will be granted so that the abuse stops," she said.
In response Nicholas said:
"She denies me of my conjugal rights, and is a very lazy woman.
"I paid her a full bride price so she should act like a married woman and satisfy my every need.
Magistrate Gamuchirai Siwardi, who presided over the matter, granted the protection order in Ivy's favour.

My role in life, as it has come to pass, is to be a provocateur, a revolutionary who will not accept things they way they are. While I was never a fan of Bobby Kennedy — the brother of President John F. Kennedy who in some ways I did admire as a young boy — his famous quote sums it up: "There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why. I dream things that never were and ask why not?"
Six months ago, I had a near-fatal automobile accident. While driving to work a week later in a rental car — as my car had been "totaled" — I passed by the exit off the highway where I had nearly been killed. I was thinking about some personal issues that I have had to deal with over the last five years in particular, and the plight of one of my clients, Elham Sataki, a television anchor who had been destroyed by a pro-Iranian regime managing editor of the Persian News Network of Voice of America, and the failure of the court and political system to come to her defense. An ultra leftist, pro-Clinton and ethically corrupt federal judge — Colleen Kolar-Kotelly — had just dishonestly denied, without factual or legal bases, my request for Elham to be put back to work at the Los Angeles office of VOA, as she rehabilitated from the harm done to her. I knew that the decision by this judge would inflict even greater pain on Elham, whom I had also come to care about as a friend. I was in a very sad and angry mood and I also thought about my life as a revolutionary, which has not been easy. As I discuss in my recent book, "Whores: Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment," I have paid a personal price for my crusading lifestyle.
For a reason that would soon become clear, my thoughts that morning then moved to Jesus, who was the ultimate revolutionary and paid a price much greater than my own or Elham's. I took solace that the son of God was, in a much bigger way, also a provocateur, who would not accept and fought against the corrupt ways of the Jewish high rabbinate, and the evil Roman Empire, which then governed the Holy Land. And, just as I was dreaming of Jesus, and taking pride in him as the greatest Jew there ever was, I was engulfed by a tremendous warmth and adulation, which overtook my entire body and soul. At first I thought that I had, in my sadness and anger, self induced the feeling, so I slowed the car and pulled to the side of the road. But despite my efforts to "regain my composure," the great warmth heightened and continued to grow and grow over the next 30 to 45 seconds. I then heard Jesus talking to me; not in words but in thoughts. "Larry, " he communicated, "from today forward I want you to clear your head, get rid of your anger, put the past behind you, and be yourself. You are a revolutionary just like I am. While you are not the son of God, you will pay a price like I did. But I am with you and from now on you are 'working for me,' so snap out of this angry sadness and lack of focus and get on with the reason I put you here on earth." That is the message I got from "Him."
Many years earlier, while standing on Christmas Day in a Catholic church, "My Lady of Victory," on MacArthur Boulevard in Georgetown with my then wife and two young children, Jesus had first spoken to me and told me to accept him. I had always intellectually believed that He was the Son of God, but as a Jew, who did not want to forsake the heritage of my people, I could never bring myself to convert to Christianity. During that time, I was also going through a tough period in my travails in fighting the corrupt ways of the Clinton administration and the extreme sadness over death of my grandmother, Yetta, and the circumstances that surrounded it. Jesus' coming to me on Christmas ultimately brought me totally to Him. From that day forward, I was a proud Jewish Christian!
I am indeed very fortunate. Not many people have experienced the Lord speaking directly to them — although a lot more people would if they open their hearts to Him.
With each passing day after Jesus recently spoke to me again, my faith deepens. There is a happiness and serenity that I never fully had before. And, I feel as if I am married to "Him."
And, since that morning when Jesus spoke to me directly for the second time, there are some extraordinary people who have miraculously come into my life who help reinforce these deep feelings of the Love of the Lord and the path he has put me on in His name.
This Christmas, I feel a "special feeling" about the birth of our Messiah. I feel reborn and while I do not know exactly where He is leading me, I do know that whatever happens it is in His name, and I thank Him for that.
We all do our little part in this world. I make no pretense that I am a "savior." I am hardly that. But I do know, as I feel it in my heart, that in some small way I am meant to help this nation and others during this period of deep crisis. How do I know this? Because Jesus told me! Open your heart this Christmas, and He will speak to you too.

White House Looking at Sending Migrants to Sanctuary Cities
WASHINGTON - The White House on Sunday, echoing President Donald Trump, said sending undocumented migrants to sanctuary U.S. cities that have protected them from deportation remains a possibility even though government agencies have said it would be impractical and there is no money allocated to do it.
'We certainly are looking at all options as long as [opposition] Democrats refuse to acknowledge the crisis at the border,' White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told the 'Fox News Sunday' show.
Trump said late Saturday on Twitter, 'Democrats must change the Immigration Laws FAST. If not, Sanctuary Cities must immediately ACT to take care of the Illegal Immigrants - and this includes Gang Members, Drug Dealers, Human Traffickers, and Criminals of all shapes, sizes and kinds. CHANGE THE LAWS NOW!'
Hundreds of U.S. cities, along with California, the country's most populous state, have declared themselves as havens for migrants who have illegally crossed the southern U.S. border with Mexico, refusing the help U.S. immigration officials to track down the immigrants so they can be deported.
U.S. border authorities apprehended more than 100,000 undocumented migrants, mostly from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, at the border in March, nearly twice that in the same month in 2018.
'The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities,' Trump said. 'We hereby demand that they be taken care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is well known (for) its poor management & high taxes!'
The U.S. now houses thousands of migrants at the border, but is running out of beds and instead is releasing new arrivals into the U.S. on their promise to appear at asylum hearings that might not occur for two years.
The Department of Homeland Security has said that Congress has not appropriated any money to transport the migrants from the border to far-flung sanctuary cities across the U.S., while the Immigration and Custom Enforcement agency has called it an 'unnecessary operational burden.'
Sanders said, 'Nobody thinks this is the ideal solution,' sending migrants to sanctuary cities. But she said mayors of cities 'who want this... should be looking to help' Trump resolve the crisis at the border. She accused Congress of wanting to spend 'all of its time investigating the president' rather than dealing with the immigration turmoil at the border.
Trump tweeted, 'So interesting to see the Mayor of Oakland and other Sanctuary Cities NOT WANT our currently 'detained immigrants' after release due to the ridiculous court ordered 20 day rule. If they dont want to serve our Nation by taking care of them, why should other cities & towns?'
Trump was referring to a court ruling prohibiting the U.S. from detaining migrant minors, those under 18 years old, for more than 20 days, before being required to release them to relatives in the U.S. or other care givers.
A key Republican lawmaker, Sen. Lindsey Graham, told another Fox News show, 'Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo,' that after the current two-week congressional recess ends, he would introduce legislation that would authorize the detention of children beyond 20 days, 'toughen up our asylum standards,' and allow migrant children to be returned to Central American countries, which is not now allowed once they have entered the United States.
'We're never going to change this with troops and walls at the border,' Graham said of the U.S. immigration crisis. 'Doing what we're doing is not working.'
He added, 'If you get one foot into the United States,' migrants can seek asylum. 'The word is out that if you come with a minor, you're never going to get deported. We need to change that narrative. We need troops at the border. We need a law. But these [U.S.] laws are insane.'

Searchlight Reaches Agreement to Acquire Controlling Stake at Bezeq
Bezeq's controlling shareholder Internet Gold and its subsidiary and Bezeq's direct controller BCOM are both struggling with a heavy debt to bondholders
Golan Hazani : 2019-05-14T09:18:19..
Private equity firm Searchlight Capital Partners has reached an understanding with the controlling shareholders of Israel's largest telecommunication company Bezeq, to acquire control of the latter. The agreement was reached with Israel-based communication company Internet Gold Golden Lines Ltd., with its subsidiary shareholder B Communications (BCOM) Ltd., through which it controls Bezeq, and with the bondholders of both Internet Gold and BCOM, which are both in heavy debt.
For daily updates, subscribe to our newsletter by clicking here.
According to Searchlight's final offer, filed with the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Tuesday morning, the firm will invest NIS 260 million ($72.75 million) in BCOM in return for controlling primary equity issuance. BCOM holds a controlling stake of 26% in Bezeq. The firm also committed to investing up to NIS 35 million ($9.8 million) in a BCOM offering if the company's minority shareholders fail to subscribe to it.

Searchlight will invest NIS 225 million ($63 million) in cash in Internet Gold, which will in turn transfer that capital to BCOM along with another NIS 115 million ($32 million) from its own coffers. This leaves the parent company with only NIS 20 million ($5.6 million) in cash in its possession, with BCOM essentially getting a cash infusion of NIS 635 million ($177.7 million). In return, Internet Gold will receive BCOM stock worth NIS 30 million ($3.4 million) and a new NIS 310 million ($86.7 million) tranche of series C debentures.
BCOM will use the cash infusion, together with NIS 200 million ($56 million) of its own capital, to redeem all of its series B debentures and 30% of its series C debentures. In return, BCOM will enjoy a 24-month reprieve regarding its financial covenants. BCOM's financial debt will be reduced from NIS 1.77 billion ($500 million) to NIS 1.46 billion ($410 million).

SEPTA Route 103 is a bus route operated by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) on the outskirts of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. Route 103 runs between Ardmore and the 69th Street Transportation Center in Upper Darby. It began as a streetcar line in 1902, operated by the Ardmore and Llanerch Street Railway, then the Philadelphia Suburban Transportation Company (PSTC, doing business as Red Arrow Lines) until converted bus operation to December 1966. SEPTA acquired PSTC and assumed operations of the Red Arrow Lines in January 1970.

Route description

The route begins at a loop around Suburban Square shopping center in Ardmore, then heads west along Montgomery Avenue. A short distance later, it turns left at Woodside Road, crossing under the Paoli/Thorndale Line near Ardmore (SEPTA station), which also serves Amtrak's Keystone Service. After its stint on Woodside, it takes a left onto Lancaster Avenue. While Route 103 is close to the Ardmore station in this area, it doesn't have a direct connection to the station aside from a walk across the parking lot near the station at Suburban Square.

From Lancaster Avenue, Route 103 is divided. Southbound buses use Rittenhouse Place, East Athens Avenue, and Cricket Avenue to County Line Road. Northbound buses from County Line Road use Ardmore Avenue to Lancaster Avenue. Shortly after the split between Lancaster Avenue and County Line Roads, Route 103 makes a turn onto a private Ardmore Busway, also known as Hathaway Lane, where it immediately encounters County Line Road station, which is little more than a shed. The private busway was originally right-of way for the trolley rails until it was paved over, which is why some of the old P&W/Red Arrow Line sheds still remain intact. The exception to this is the plexiglass bus shelter at Belmont Avenue station.

Although Hathaway Lane continues to serve as a private road strictly for the Route 103 bus south of Haverford Road, there are some sections that contain parallel roads for residents and the general public. Both the busway and West Hathaway Lane go under the Norristown High Speed Line at Ardmore Junction station. Merwood Road station contains residential parallel roads on both sides of the busway.

Though the Ardmore Busway ends at the intersection of Darby Road & Eagle Road in Oakmont, a "Red Arrow" bus shelter can be found after the intersection on Darby Road. The former trolley right-of-way runs west of Darby Road while the current bus route runs down Darby until making a left turn at Brookline Boulevard in Havertown. From there, the bus heads east and makes a right turn onto Earlington Road as it runs south again through Penfield. When Earlington Road ends at Township Line Road the bus turns left then heads up to 77th Street. It then turns right onto 77th Street, entering the Philadelphia city limits.

Route 103 then turns left onto Woodbine Avenue, then a right onto 75th Street. It then travels down that street for about 4 blocks, then buses merge into Lansdowne Avenue before making a quick left onto Cardington Road/Victory Avenue. Buses then make a left onto a private SEPTA access road to terminate at the north terminal of 69th Street Transportation Center.

History
The PRR saw trolleys as a threat and fought hard to prevent them from expanding into Lower Merion. The PRR even tried to buy some of route of the Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike to prevent trolleys from expanding on the road. However, these efforts were not enough to prevent the Ardmore trolley from being built in 1902 by the Ardmore and Llanerch Street Railway Company. The trolley began operating on May 29, 1902. The last trolley ran on December 29, 1966. A portion of the line from Eagle Road in Oakmont was paved over and used only for buses as a "busway". It was the first busway in North America and possibly the world. The Red Arrow also purchased old crossing gates from a Chicago area interurban railway and placed them perpendicular to the busway so as to not allow cars onto the busway. They outfitted the busses with remote radio control so the drivers could raise the gates and go through. These gates were placed at each end of the busway and at each road crossing and started service in March 31, 1967. The bus maintained the same stopping locations at the former trolley. On January 29, 1970 the route was purchased by SEPTA and the gates continued to be used until being left in the up position and eventually removed.

Route 103 buses took over SEPTA Route 105 routing from 77th Street & City Avenue to 69th Street Transportation Center in the early 2000s. Before then, the route merged West Chester Pike where it joined its counterpart Route 104 (West Chester Trolley Line), another Red Arrow Bus Lines converted from trolleys in 1954. The two routes together. A mural of a trolley station was painted on a building on the corner where this right-of-way used to exist and was also the site of the Battle of Llanerch which was a physical and legal confrontation between trackworkers from the PRR and the West Chester Rail Company. From this point both the Routes 103 and 104 buses and trolleys continued eastward along West Chester Pike until reaching the west terminal at 69th Street. Today the North Terminal is also served by five other SEPTA bus routes; . The west terminal continues to serve trolleys today; Routes 101 and 102, the Media/Sharon Hill Line, both former trolleys of the Philadelphia Suburban Transportation Company.

In October 2022, SEPTA proposed moving bus service off of the Route 103 busway in its bus network redesign, "Bus Revolution", with on-street service instead provided on Eagle Road, Haverford Road, and Ardmore Avenue. The future of the busway was unspecified.

Bavarski dvor je del centra Ljubljane ob Slovenski cesti med križiščem Tivolske ceste in Trgom Osvobodilne fronte ter Gosposvetske ceste na Ajdovščini.

Izvor imena
Ime je ta predel centra Ljubljane dobil po istoimenskem hotelu (), ki je tam nekdaj stal in ki so ga poimenovali po dvoru kraljevine Bavarske, s katerega je bila doma avstrijska cesarica Elizabeta Bavarska. Poimenovanje se je zgodilo v čast mladoporočeni soprogi cesarja Franca Jožefa I. ob njenem prihodu v mesto. Stavbo so porušili leta 1962.

Zgradbe
Danes na levi strani stoji stanovanjski kompleks, ki so ga Ljubljančani zaradi zunanje podobe poimenovali "Kozolec", desno stran pa meščani imenujejo Kora bar, po eni prvih picerij v mestu. Na Bavarskem dvoru in ob njem se danes nahajajo Ljubljanska borza, Telekom Slovenije, stolpnica S2 (znana kot stolpnica SCT), parkirno-garažna hiša, Eurocenter ...

Prihodnost
Z novo arhitekturno podobo naj bi na Bavarskem dvoru zrasla t. i. severna mestna vrata v center prestolnice. Vzhodno stolpnico, naj bi gradili po načrtih Borisa Podrecce. Novi stolpnici bosta urbanistično zaključili Bavarski dvor, za katerega si je velikopotezni načrt s stolpnicami zamislil že Milan Mihelič v 70. letih 20. stoletja s stolpnico S2.

Javni potniški promet

Bavarski dvor je vozlišče mestnih avtobusnih linij ter najfrekventnejše avtobusno postajališče v Ljubljani. Tu avtobusi neprenehoma obratujejo proti večini ljubljanskih predelov vse dni v letu med 4.30 in 24.00.

Mestne avtobusne linije, ki potekajo preko Bavarskega dvora proti spodaj navedenim mestnim predelom, so:

LEGENDA:
 V - vsak dan (od ponedeljka do nedelje)
 D - delavnik (od ponedeljka do petka)
 S - sobota

Published by The Twisting Stair Partnership, but available via Black Blade Publishing, The Twisting Stair is different. Not only in terms of its format—it comes in A4 size rather than the digest size which is standard for most fanzines then and now—but also in terms of the retroclone it is written for. The Twisting Stair is written for use with OSRIC, the Old School Reference and Index Compilation roleplaying game which emulates the first edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. This is of course, the version of choice for retroclones which emulate Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, though the majority of retroclones do derive from Basic Dungeons & Dragons or just Dungeons & Dragons.
Published in the Summer of 2017, The Twisting Stair #2 follows the pattern set by The Twisting Stair #1, but increases the number of articles it contains from four to five, plus of course, the Dungeon Geomorphs. All of the articles are penned by Allan T. Grohe Jr. and Tony Rosten, either together or separately, and both have their own columns. Grohe has 'From Kuroth's Quill' and Rosten has 'Down the Twisting Stair – An ongoing exercise in megadungeon design', which much like the first issue, bookend this issue. Between them is the simple 'Critters & Glitters', a combined monsters and magic items column, 'The Centerfold Mega-Dungeon Map', and 'Wandering Pairings'. All this comes in a second issue with an increased page count, from sixteen to twenty.
Once past the editorial—a short rumination upon the appearance of The Twisting Stair #1 at GaryCon IX—The Twisting Star #2 opens with 'From Kuroth's Quill'. This is Allan T. Grohe Jr.'s design column and this time it concludes 'Combined Hoards as Adventure Hooks: Treasure Maps in the Mega-Dungeon (Part 1 of 2)', which was published in the previous, first issue. In 'Treasure Maps: From Traditional to Enigmatic' it continues the examination of the nature and form of the treasure map. It is quite a short piece, providing a few suggestions as to on what a treasure map might appear, perhaps on a sword hilt, across multiple items or places, appearing only in the light of the waning moon, and so on. It supports these ideas with a set of tables to expand the standard set given in the Dungeon Master's Guide for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and continue those begun in The Twisting Stair #1. Together, this has been a decent series, although it could have benefited from an example or two, perhaps towards supporting the mega-dungeon that the fanzine builds itself around—at least in map form.
Both Grohe and Rosten contribute 'Maps and Symbols: the Keys to the Mega-Dungeon', a solid set of map symbols to use when designing dungeons. The set includes new symbols for magical gates, walls, and areas of effect as well as teleporters and redesigns some old classics for clarity and purpose. This is followed 'Critters & Glitters', which details exactly one spell and one monster. The former is the Naamah, a Greater Devil which works as a free agent to seduce, enslave, and corrupt the souls of mortals. It has the appearance of a beautiful woman bar her almost skeletal lower legs and taloned feet, crimson skin, and black and ice blue eyes. Although the Naamah can use them to deliver vicious attacks , she prefers to charm and bind her victims her, which has the awful side effect of adjusting their Alignment to Lawful Evil. The accompanying illustration is excellent and overall, the creature has a baroque, old fashioned feel that would work well enough in any Old School Renaissance, but also in Empire of the Petal Throne too.
The spell is The Multi-Faceted Portal-Penetrating Gaze, a Fourth Level Magic-User spell. It allows the caster to examine portals—gates, teleporters, colour pools, and so on—and peer view through to the other side. Depending upon the variation cast, the Magic-User can discern the destination, peer beyond the veil to scrye the area around the portal's destination, and regard the portal to learn about its true nature. This is a good spell and it really would be a useful spell for anyone running a campaign based around gates and portals. It is also the perfect accompaniment to Lost Pages' Kefitzah Haderech: Incunabulum of the Uncanny Gates and Portals.
At the centre of the issue is Level Two of The Twisting Stair's ongoing mega-dungeon maps. Like the first, it has several blank spots where dungeon geomorphs—smaller maps that can be inserted and rotated to suit—can be placed. Now unfortunately, what The Twisting Stair #2 lacks is detailed geomorphs, which is a shame because they were the highlight of the first issue. What the second issue does include is 'Wandering Pairings', a random encounter table for Level Two. It lists new monsters to be encountered on this level as well as monsters from Level One that have spread down and adapted to Level Two. The notable feature of Level Two is the large waterway running through it and the table reflects this.
Tony Rosten's column is 'Down the Twisting Stair', which it describes as 'An ongoing exercise in in mega-dungeon design'. In The Twisting Star #1, the column presented three geomorphs, each a well designed encounter ready to be dropped into Level One of the mega-dungeon. This time, the column looks at 'Mega-dungeon Accoutrements'. What the author is talking here is a dungeon's regular features which make it distinctive and memorable. They can be environmental, mechanical, or speciality accoutrements, and certainly in examining the first, the author nicely references back to E. Gary Gygax's own designs. An environmental accoutrement is a descriptive feature that has a broader effect upon a dungeon exploration; a mechanical accoutrement is one which consistently embellishes a common trapping found throughout most dungeons; and a speciality accoutrement combines elements of the two to present something more like a traditional encounter. Besides describing them, the author also presents an accoutrement quartet. 'Locks and Keys' are a mechanical accoutrement which detail how both appear and function in the author's home dungeon; 'The Lanterns of Celestial Lights' are a speciality accoutrement, lanterns installed around a dungeon whose lens can be changed for various effects, such as showing events in the past or detecting evil; 'Blighted Brambles' is another speciality accoutrement, thorny bushes and thickets which are typically hard to hack through and which come in multiple colours and types; and 'The Chronoporter' is a third speciality accoutrement, a teleporting room which gives access to multiple Levels of the dungeon and locations there on, but only at set times and even on set dates. These are interesting and useful supporting examples which nicely showcase the ideas discussed in the article.
Physically, The Twisting Stair #2 is well presented, if very lightly illustrated. It does feel thin though, even with the increase in page. Part of that is down to the format—A4 rather than the A5 which is usual for most fanzines. It also feels somewhat light in terms of content. This is not to say that the content is neither interesting or useful, for as with the first issue, both 'From Kuroth's Quill' and 'Down the Twisting Stair' are excellent pieces, if perhaps tending towards the theory. Unlike The Twisting Stair #1, there are no stand out pieces which a Dungeon Master can just drop into a campaign in The Twisting Stair #2, which is a shame because the sample geomorphs, fully written up as encounters, of the first issue were excellent. Nevertheless, The Twisting Stair #2 is a good read if you looking for advice and taking the time to design your own mega-dungeon.

Male Breast Reduction is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is performed to reduce excess breast tissue in men with Gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is a condition that occurs in many men–some of whom outgrow it, while for others the condition may persist until surgically reversed. The causes of gynecomastia may vary from various drug side effects, hormonal imbalances and other factors. Men with gynecomastia often feel self-conscious of their chest appearance. It can be frustrating because for some men no amount of diet and exercise will reverse the gynecomastia. Male Breast Reduction eliminates the stubborn excess fat and breast tissue to create a more traditional, flat, and toned looking chest appearance.
Ideal candidates for the male breast reduction are in good health with realistic expectations for the procedure and results. In some cases liposuction alone may be able to create the desired results, while for others a slightly more invasive reduction may be needed. To learn more and find out if male breast reduction may be right for you, contact our office to schedule your consultation today.

From the casino to the tax and customs board: New director revealed ({{contentCtrl.commentsTotal}})
Madis Jääger, who has previously managed the listed company Olympic Entertainment Group and worked as an auditor, will start working as the Director-General of the Tax and Customs Board on January 4.
Minister of Finance Martin Helme (EKRE) said Jääger was the most suitable person for the position because of his background as an auditor and financial manager.
"In the coming years, the development of simple and convenient public services must be continued in order to make paying taxes as convenient and simple as possible for the taxpayer. At the same time, effective supervision must be in place," Helme said.
Jääger said that he has formulated three big goals for himself when taking up the new position: "It is important to raise the Estonian people's understanding of the need to pay taxes and thereby increase everyone's willingness to pay taxes."
In 2010-2018, Jääger managed the listed company Olympic Entertainment Group. From 2001 to 2010, he worked at the auditing firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, he is also a statutory auditor and a member of the Board of Auditors. Jääger has a bachelor's degree cum laude in international business management from the Estonian Business School and a master's degree in economics from the University of Tartu.
The secretary of state announced a public competition for the director-general of the Tax and Customs Board in September. A total of 14 applications were received for the competition.
The director-general is appointed by the Minister of Finance for a term of five years.

Alley cats, also known as feral or community cats, have been part of our communities for centuries — but sadly, they're not always welcomed. These cats live in groups called colonies and are found in both urban and rural areas, occupying alleys and buildings, or making their home in fields and wooded areas. A life outside might sound inhumane, but cats that are truly feral typically don't do well indoors and therefore live a much happier life in the freedom of the outdoors.
To animal advocates, they're viewed as harmless and are often cared for by people who feed them and provide shelter to protect them from the elements. Others, however, view them as a nuisance that destroys property and harms wildlife, especially birds. Cat overpopulation is a well-recognized issue, but the methods by which some choose to manage colony size, such as poisoning and mass-euthanasia, are inhumane. Another method, relocation, isn't necessarily effective and should only be used as a last resort or if animals are in danger. Other efforts involve bringing the cats to shelters, only to have the feral or under-socialized cats deemed unadoptable and euthanized.
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) initiatives — humanely trapping cats, then performing spay or neuter surgery before returning them to their colony — have been proven to be an effective form of management, but local laws and ordinances can sometimes impede these efforts. The issue of cat overpopulation and outdoor colony management is complex, but those dedicated to the cause are working tirelessly to change misconceptions and provide educational tools that help both cats and the community. With compassion as their driving force, these organizations are doing their part to help save lives.
In Kentucky, Alley Cat Advocates works in the community to provide TNR programs and initiatives to manage feral cat populations and reduce the number of cats euthanized in shelters. Their focus on specific neighborhoods has not only provided hundreds of spay and neuter surgeries but has drastically reduced the number of feral cats being turned in to the area shelter.
People working to help manage and care for cat colonies can find resources through their Community Cat Care Center, and their large-scale "Big Fix" events help colony caregivers receive spay and neuter help for anywhere from a few cats to entire colonies.
Maryland-based organization Alley Cat Allies has been advocating for feral cats for over 25 years. They've implemented TNR programs across the world to help change outdated methods of managing outdoor cat populations. They're also active in the community, providing education and assistance, and working at the legislative level to help change laws.
Their Feral Friends Network provides guidance for those interested in helping cats in their community, plus they have a variety of toolkits, webinars, and other helpful information on their website to help with everything from fundraising to understanding animal cruelty laws.
Based in Michigan, Carol's Ferals works to help members of the community with TNR efforts and to find adoptive homes for socialized cats and kittens. Through education and in-person training sessions, they help people understand the issue of feline overpopulation and provide resources for those caring for outdoor cats.
The organization also provides low-cost spay and neuter surgeries and vaccine services for cats before they're returned to their colonies, as well as rehoming services for socialized strays and barn cats.
San Diego's Feral Cat Coalition is working to help reduce cat overpopulation and provide care for cats in their community through TNR programs that, to date, have helped over 40,000 cats. They help community members get involved in TNR initiatives by providing humane traps and low-cost spay and neuter surgeries, and they work to educate the public about cat behavior and the benefits of TNR.
The organization also helps people tame feral kittens in an effort to find them adoptive homes, and they actively work to educate people about the importance of spaying and neutering their pets to reduce overpopulation.
Neighborhood Cats is working to help cats through their educational efforts and targeted TNR programs in New York, New Jersey, and on Maui. They've helped train over 7,000 people in New York City on humanely trapping cats, and their online resources and award-winning handbook have been used by organizations throughout the country.
To help reduce conflict in the community, the organization provides information for humane ways to keep cats out of your yard, including fencing options, using scented plants as a deterrent, and how to build outdoor litter boxes that will help keep cats from digging in your garden. And for those who want to help feed or house outdoor cats, they offer tips for feeding and building outdoor shelters.
Are you interested in helping in your community? Check with organizations above as well as those in your area for ways to get involved with education, advocacy, and TNR programs that help provide a safe, healthy, and happy life for these misunderstood felines.


Semiotics, is the study and understanding of signs. Signs are not limited to what comes to mind for most people- billboards, advertisements and storefront displays. Rather, semiotics, and more specifically social semiotics is the study of how we interact and communicate with others by analysing the different channels of communication being used. Often, many of these channels are based on nonverbal elements and cues.
During any interaction with another person, we are communicating with each other constantly, primarily through nonverbal channels. This is occurring through multiple channels and is both strategic and non-strategic (or intentional and unintentional). This includes body language, voice tone, clothing and adornments, the environment, timing, and touch.
To envision all the different nonverbal elements present in any given situation, picture a black, blank screen in front of you. Now imagine dozens of circles, of different colors and sizes, appearing and disappearing with the timing of each varying while consuming the majority of the screen replacing the black portions.
If you cannot picture this, do not worry; just click the link [here] to see a video of what I am describing. A picture is provided below as an example.
Now picture each dot as a different element of nonverbal communication. On its own, it is not very significant and without it, it is easy to say it has little relevance on the entire picture. For nonverbal communication, a single element such as choosing where to sit during a negotiation or meeting, or perhaps a hand gesture can be viewed as having a minimal importance on the overall impact of the situation.
However, now start to take away more and more of the dots and the bright screen becomes darker and darker. Similarly, ignoring more and more of the nonverbal elements, you understand less and less of what is going on.
Just because you are unaware of all nonverbal communication elements does not mean they do not exist or their importance is insignificant. Ignoring all the nonverbal elements can have a detrimental effect on the situation. Equally, the same is true by embracing the other end of the spectrum- concentrating on a single element can have a dramatically negative effect by putting all your effort into analyzing one element at the expense of all the others.
In the coming 5 part series on "Semiotics & Nonverbal Communication," I will offer tools that I have been using to research and analyse various nonverbal elements from a semiotic perspective from a variety of situations including political discourse, news media, conflict resolution (mediation, negotiation, facilitation, etc.), and interpersonal, informal conversations.
I have just started my masters on semiotics and non verbal communication so I am still on the starting block. Where could I find the series? Sounds vey interesting.
Sorry for the delay. The next article should be posted shortly. I am looking to have one posted each month.
Sorry for the delay in responding. Part two should be posted very shortly. I am aiming to have each article posted in successive months.
