Advocates call on county for action against tar sands and crude oil by rail exports in Portland
June 6, 2019 May 28, 2019 by Elijah Cetas
On May 23rd, organizers and health advocates testified before the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners in opposition to a new fossil fuel project in Portland: the Zenith Energy facility importing oil trains of Canadian heavy crude, or 'tar sands', for shipment to international refineries. Dr. Theodora Tsongas, Lluvia Merello and Regna Merritt of Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility, and Mia Reback of the Sustainable Energy and Economy Network spoke about the many public health risks of tar sands and crude oil trains, and urged the County Commissioners to oppose the project and fund a Fossil Fuel Risk Assessment of the full health and safety impacts of fossil fuel infrastructure within the county.
Tar sands oil is widely regarded as the world's dirtiest fossil fuel, both because of the energy needed to extract it from the boreal forests of Alberta (clearcutting, strip-mining, and hydraulic injection), and because of its chemical makeup. High in noxious sulfur, thick and sluggish, the oil requires a toxic cocktail of chemical diluents for the substance to be transported and burned. And unlike other oils, when tar sands heavy crude spills it sinks into rivers and groundwater, poisoning the surrounding areas and sickening workers while making cleanup effectively impossible.
A recent wave of grassroots opposition to tar sands pipelines has coincided with greater production in the Alberta, Canada tar-sands region. One way the industry has responded to pipeline resistance and its glut of oil has been to quietly increase oil by rail export. Unlike new proposals, such as the embattled Keystone XL pipeline, oil by rail has few environmental reviews and little oversight—despite putting communities in direct proximity to derailments, spills, and deadly explosions.
"Over the past few days we have seen oil unit trains sitting in densely populated areas." Dr. Theodora Tsongas, an epidemiologist, said in her testimony before the County Commissioners. "We have seen increases in the number of unit trains coming through the county on their way to the Zenith facility. This is extremely troubling. We ask for your strong support to discourage and shut down this illegal operation."
Tar Sands Through Portland
In December 2017, Zenith Energy Management, a startup fossil fuel export company funded by the private equity giant, Warburg Pincus, bought an existing asphalt and crude oil facility in Portland's Northwest Industrial Park. A month later, they began importing the oil on rail lines through the Columbia Gorge and North Portland neighborhoods for export to refineries in China, South Korea, and California. Using an old site with 2014 permits acquired from the previous owner, Arc Logistics, Zenith has begun construction to expand its facility to quadruple its crude oil exports. This flies in the face of Portland's Fossil Fuel Terminal Zoning Amendments, which ban new bulk fossil fuel terminals and restrict the expansion of existing ones. Zenith, meanwhile, has claimed it does not violate the law because it will not expand its storage capacity, only its exports.
At the Multnomah County Board Meeting, Regna Merritt, the Healthy Climate Program Director of Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility, thanked the Commission for their past support opposing oil by rail projects in the region, and gave a detailed account of what a spill would mean for public health.
"Crude oil contains high levels of volatile air toxins that, when released through a spill, threaten the lives of residents and workers. We are particularly concerned about the increased risk of exposure from hydrogen sulfide and benzene." Merritt went on to describe how exposure to benzene can cause leukemia and other diseases, while hydrogen sulfide can suffocate people around the spill site, even as "olfactory fatigue" inhibits their ability to detect the gas. "These concerns were brought to the fore just a couple weeks ago when a crude oil rail car exploded as it was being cleaned out, killing two workers and injuring four more."
The Community Response
The advocates who testified in front of county commissioners that Thursday morning are part of a growing coalition of environmental, health, and climate organizations that quickly mobilized in opposition to the oil trains. Sixteen organizations have joined as partners, including: the Center for Sustainable Economy, 350PDX, Columbia Riverkeeper, Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility, the Portland Harbor Community Coalition, the Sustainable Energy and Economy Network, the Audubon Society, OPAL-Environmental Justice Oregon, Friends of the Columbia Gorge, Neighbors for Clean Air, the Portland Chapter of the Democratic Socialist of America, the Oregon Chapter of the Sierra Club, Human Access Project, Willamette Riverkeeper, and the Portland Sunrise Movement.
Several groups involved have organized teams to monitor the Zenith facility and incoming oil trains, held community forums, and in April, sent a letter to the city of Portland outlining how it can take action to stop the Zenith Facility and enact a managed, full decline of fossil fuel infrastructure in Portland's greater Critical Energy Infrastructure Hub in-line with the known risks of a 8.0 magnitude earthquake and the County and City's joint 100% renewable energy goals.
Community awareness and opposition has grown since the coalition began taking action. This was reflected at the County hearing on Thursday when Lluvia Merello, Oregon PSR's Energy Justice Organizer, read aloud from the Cully Neighborhood Association's resolution letter opposing the Zenith expansion. The resolution was made effective on May 14, during a meeting attended in support by Commissioners Jo Ann Hardesty and Chloe Eudaly.
A Managed Decline of Fossil Fuels
CSE and its partners' ongoing resistance to the Zenith facility has helped create a space for more proactive climate action. At the hearing, Mia Reback of the Sustainable Energy and Economy Network, our sister organization, thanked Commissioner Meieran for introducing an budget amendment to fund the first phase of a county-wide fossil fuel risk assessment.
A study can help the county evaluate a possible ordinance requiring fossil fuel companies to carry financial surety (like insurance) to guarantee that they can pick up the costs of damage caused by their products.
"We know that information is key for our first responders to be best prepared if there is a disaster, and we know that that information will help our government officials plan better for the end of the fossil fuel industry," said Mia Reback.
The Phase 1 Fossil Fuel Risk Assessment could be the first step towards a Fossil Fuel Risk Bond Policy, where polluters pay for the financial and economic risk their activities impose on the community in Portland and Multnomah County.
Reback thanked the commission for their 2017 vote for the 100% renewable energy resolution. She connected those energy goals with this fossil fuel assessment: "As we make that transition we need policies in place that hold polluters accountable for the pollution that they have lent here. The Phase 1 scoping study is the first step for future policies we can take to better protect our health and safety and hold polluters accountable for the risks they put on our communities."
Help fight the tar sands and oil trains in Portland!
Call the City and County Commissioners' offices, thank them for their climate action, and urge them to publicly oppose the Zenith Expansion project with a moratorium and a community forum.

Excellence Initiative: University of Freiburg Qualifies for Champions League
The Albert-Ludwig University of Freiburg Receives Green Light for its Institutional Strategy
The grants committee has reached its eagerly awaited decision in the Excellence Initiative of the German Federal and State Governments for the promotion of science and research at German universities: The Albert-Ludwig University has been given a green light to realize its Institutional Strategy. The university has thus reached the highest possible level of funding and can now officially refer to itself as an "excellence university." In addition, the committee approved funding for one Cluster of Excellence. The university will receive a total of 132 mill. euros in funding for the next five years.
The decision was received with great enthusiasm at the University of Freiburg. The rector of the university, Professor Dr. Wolfgang Jäger, sees the committee's decision as "a clear indication that the excellent research and instruction at the University of Freiburg qualifies it to play in the Champions League."
This great success puts the University of Freiburg in the position to realize its Institutional Strategy and attract highly qualified young academics and internationally renowned researchers and visiting scholars, thus further increasing the excellence in research at the university. With an international research school for top-level international and German researchers, the "Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies" (FRIAS), Freiburg aims to establish itself among the best research universities worldwide. Instead of days on end of obstacles, filled with applications for third-party funds, commission work, and bureaucracy, scholars will be given the freedom they need to conduct excellent research. FRIAS will focus initially on four disciplines: literature and linguistics, history, materials research, and life sciences.
To receive funding for its Institutional Strategy (third line of funding), universities also had to have their proposals for the first and second lines of funding approved. For the Albert-Ludwig University, the committee approved the proposal for the Cluster of Excellence "Centre for Biological Signalling Studies" (bioss).
The initiative began in June 2005. Freiburg is among the ten top universities which reached the final stage of the first round of the competition in all three lines of funding. The university has thus yet again demonstrated its top position among German universities, already documented in nationwide rankings. With this honor in the "Excellence Initiative," an internationally recognized decision has been made in favor of Freiburg.
The following proposals submitted by the University of Freiburg were successful:
The Spemann Graduate School for Biology and Medicine, which was selected in the first round, is already among the graduate schools receiving funding from the Excellence Initiative.
Cluster of Excellence Line of Funding:
Cluster of Excellence "Centre for Biological Signalling Studies" (bioss)
Many human diseases are caused by defective or deregulated signaling, and a better understanding of these processes will have major impact on medical research and practice. The Cluster of Excellence "Centre for Biological Signalling Studies" (bioss) will investigate the molecular foundations and principles of biological signal processing by developing and testing a new, highly interdisciplinary approach.
Institutional Strategy Line of Funding:
Institutional Strategy "Windows for Research", "Third line of funding"
Excerpt from the summary of the Institutional Strategy (available in full on the Web):
The Institutional Strategy of the University of Freiburg encompasses three main objectives:
1 creating "windows for research" for its own scholars and young researchers in Freiburg itself,
2 fostering a "new universitas" through communication between the disciplines in order to open up innovative potential at the interfaces between them,
3 furthering its own "inner internationalization," i.e. establishing an international teaching and research community and assessing performance and quality on the basis of international standards.
The University of Freiburg pursues all three objectives on the basis of a broad spectrum of high-performing disciplines. The planned measures for achieving these objectives are:
1 The founding of a "Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies" (FRIAS) to provide windows for research in four outstanding research fields designated as "beacons of learning." For the first six-year period, the chosen fields are: (a) Historical Studies, (b) Language and Literature, (c) Life Sciences, and (d) Soft Matter Science. The members of FRIAS will be internationally renowned senior fellows of the University of Freiburg, external senior fellows, and mainly external junior fellows.
2 The establishment of a program for promoting groups of young researchers ("Research Group Program"), primarily to improve performance in research areas not yet represented in the FRIAS which wish to form a new school in the future.
3 The furtherance of the "new universitas" through a program of research centers which transcends the boundaries of the disciplines by promoting transdisciplinary centers for the development of innovative areas of excellence and by encouraging them to also form new schools for the FRIAS.
4 The expansion of the "International Graduate Academy of Freiburg," which supports doctoral students by providing structures, quality standards, and opportunities for acquiring professional qualifications.
5 The establishment of a central "Science Support Centre" to provide professional support and assistance to researchers applying for and managing projects backed by third-party funds.

At Mindet 6, close to the Port of Aarhus, a bright, sculptural tower and landmark will combine city life and cultural history with attractive new cultural and business facilities, together with public restaurants.
The starting point for the tower is an existing historical industrial complex, with its legacy of the port's industry and culture in former times. The impressive building structure will be preserved and supplemented with a new tower.
The tower will be integrated into the existing complex, from which its basic geometry will be derived. The historical qualities of the existing building will continue to be apparent, and will also gain new life from being opened up towards the surroundings, to create attractive outdoor and indoor relations. On the roof of the old building, a new, publicly-accessible green rooftop garden environment will be established, and will include a restaurant, orangery and kitchen gardens.
The actual tower is designed as a bright and slender sculptural landmark, contributing vertical green foyers to both the near and wider urban context.
The facades are built up with a spatial relief in light terrazzo, which is shaped to mirror the sun's orientation, with focus on ensuring optimum daylight conditions, a good outlook and a healthy indoor climate.
The building's geometry means that the building's profile is oriented to every side, with a characterful and textural effect on several scales.
The location's potential, with its proximity to the city and the sea, favourable daylight conditions and outlook, and historical structural legacy, thus serves as the backdrop for a very special atmosphere, ensuring a unique project that is clearly anchored in the location's industrial history.

Nikko Blue Hydrangea
'Nikko Blue' Hydrangea is a fast-growing shrub with large, rounded flower clusters that bloom in a rich, sky blue throughout the summer season. When planted in alkaline soils, blooms also take on purple and pinkish hues. This cold-hardy mophead variety grows and spreads to 6' x 6' and prefers a shade to part shade location. (Hydrangea Macrophylla)
48-72" tall (4-6 feet) , 48-72" wide (4-6 feet)
48-72" tall x 48-72" wide. With long-lasting flower clusters and large, bright green foliage, 'Nikko Blue' provides an eye-catching accent in entry gardens and patio plantings. The vibrant blooms last for months, providing texture well into autumn even after their color fades. Cut a handful of flowers for a luxurious bouquet. 'Nikko Blue' is also ideal for dried arrangements, holding color well when dried properly. All that lush foliage makes for a thirsty shrub so keep plants well-watered and protect from drying winds. Provide a layer of mulch year-round to conserve soil moisture and regulate root temperatures. Plants seldom require pruning. If needed, wait until after flowering to prune as 'Nikko Blue' blooms on old wood. Weak or winter-damaged stems can be removed in late winter or early spring before growth resumes. No serious insect or disease problems.
About Hydrangeas
Hydrangea shrubs are native to the US and Asia and produce showy flowers throughout the summer season. There are many varieties available, each showcasing differing bloom colors, flower shapes, overall heights/spreads, levels of winter hardiness, and abilities to be grown in containers.
What does "Blooms on old/new wood" mean and what does that have to do with winter?
Some hydrangeas produce buds that will turn into flowers on old wood (also called "last year's growth"), while others produce blooms on new wood (aka "this year's growth") and still others will flower on both old and new wood. This detail is especially valuable for cold-climate gardeners who may be apt to lose some of their hydrangea branches to breakage from heavy snow and ice, or who may see developing buds killed off by late spring frosts.
For these gardeners, losing old growth branches and young buds could mean missing out on hydrangea flowers the following summer. Choosing a variety that blooms on new wood (or both types of growth) is extra insurance; it means that regardless of your winter and late-spring weather, you can still count on your shrub to produce flowers come summer.
Likewise, warm-climate gardeners who choose varieties that only bloom on new wood, will have to make it a point to prune their hydrangea shrubs in order to encourage new buds to form. A simple task for sure, but one that needs to be remembered.
What does "Bloom color depends on soil type" mean?
The color of most hydrangea blooms are directly tied to the mineral make up of your soil and its overall pH. To really see bold colors, you'll have the best results when planting in containers, which will allow you to create your preferred soil conditions at planting time. Although soil pH can be changed directly in the garden bed, it often takes more than one season to see results. The color of native Smooth hydrangeas (Hydrangea arborescens) cannot be changed.
Acid soils (with a pH below 7) produce purple-to-blue blooms, with the brightest blue blooms resulting from the most-acidic soils. To coax your hydrangeas into producing blue blooms, you can amend your soil with sulfur, or mulch your plants with a pine and/or cedar needle mulch.
Alkaline soils (with a pH above 7) produce pink blooms. The more alakaline (or sweet) your soil is, the deeper pink your blooms will be. This can be achieved by adding lime around your planting area. It is, however, more difficult to turn hydrangea blooms pink because as a general rule, most plants struggle to be healthy in soils with a pH above 7.
Many hydrangeas today are available in a range of heights and bloom cycles, regardless of their overall type. For example, you can find Mopheads that bloom on new growth and Panicles that are container-friendly.
Mopheads: (Hydrangea macrophylla) The most well-known (yet least cold hardy) hydrangea, Mopheads are known for their oversized blooms that come in two flower types - Lacecaps and Pom-poms. Also known as "Bigleaf" hydrangeas, the foliage on Mopheads is quite enormous and delivers a lot of greenery to the garden.
Panicle: (Hydrangea paniculata) Huge, cone-shaped blooms and excellent cold hardiness are the hallmarks of the Panicle hydrangea. Their arching branches and plentiful blooms also tolerate more sun than other varieties.
Smooth/ Snowball: (Hydrangea arborescens) Also known as "Wild" Hydrangeas, these shrubs are native to the eastern US - and while their color cannot be altered by changing soil pH, their blooms tend to turn a pale green as fall approaches.
Mountain: (Hydrangea serrata) More compact than Mopheads and presenting dainty lacecap blooms and smaller leaves, these hydrangeas are native to the mountains of Korea and Japan where they're known as 'Tea of Heaven'. They're known for a slightly weeping shape and a long season of blooms.
Oakleafs: (Hydrangea quercifolia) Native to the eastern/southeastern US, Oakleafs have deeply-lobed foliage that changes color dramatically in autumn. Very cold hardy with showy, elongated blooms.

El municipio de Tuxpan es uno de los 20 municipios en que se divide el estado mexicano de Nayarit. Siendo su cabecera municipal la población del mismo nombre.

Historia

En la época prehispánica Tuxpan fue un asentamiento importante denominado Ayutuxpan, el cual tributaba al reino de Sentispac. En la localidad de Coamiles establecieron su más importante centro ceremonial; según el historiador Cristian Duverger, el centro ceremonial está compuesto de varios tipos de estructuras, a la fecha se conocen 40, que contienen más de 150 grabados y su arquitectura es de piedras estucadas con relleno de adobe. Forma parte de un arreglo megalítico compuesto de grandes bloques tallados, organizados horizontal y verticalmente, combinados con rocas voluminosas.

Durante su expedición militar, el conquistador Nuño Beltrán de Guzmán cruzó por estas tierras. En 1607 se fundó el convento de Santa Catalina en Tuxpan, cuyo propósito fue el de evangelizar a los indígenas. Después de la Independencia, Tuxpan fue subprefectura del naciente territorio de Tepic, posteriormente, se anexó al municipio de Santiago Ixcuintla y, a partir de la promulgación de la Constitución de 1917, quedó constituida como municipio del Estado Libre y Soberano de Nayarit. Dos años después, a solicitud de los campesinos, se llevó a cabo la dotación de tierras del ejido de Tuxpan, el más grande de México.

Cronología de Hechos Históricos

Revenue Cutter Service
(PD) Photo: USCG

The United States Revenue Cutter Service was a uniformed armed service of the United States government.[1] Its first vessels were commissioned late in the eighteenth century, shortly after the founding of the republic. In 1915 it was merged into what is now the United States Coast Guard.
Based on its roots in the Revenue Cutter Service, the Coast Guard is sometimes described as an older service than the United States Navy.[2][3] The Continental Congress had a navy, composed largely of former merchant vessels. Initially the United States Congress did not create a Navy for the new republic.
Some vessels of the Revenue Cutter Service were very successful commerce raiders during the War of 1812.
The Revenue Cutter Service had its own School of Instruction, and its own training vessels, such as the USRC Itasco.

We all know there are times when we feel very busy and don't seem to stop moving, but we don't feel at all productive. Usually, this is because we are not productive. Sometimes, we just don't realise all that we have actually done and we need to remember that.
Teachers often feel overwhelmed by "busy" work. I'm sure there are other professions that are involved in busy work but I am not a member of those professions so I can't speak for them. Some teachers are great at creating busy work for themselves. A good example: I have to mark my students' homework, copy the cut and paste worksheets, laminate all the word work cards and I absolutely must make all my folders colour coded with matching decorations. It is work that might make things look good and certainly makes you look busy but doesn't always have substance. It shouldn't always have top priority.
Many teachers say that the organisation tasks and ensuring their classroom décor is pretty makes everything more efficient and helps them to stay on track when things get hectic. Please understand that hectic is not the same as busy. I quite agree. There are times when we should put in the extra hours to get things looking good. A small amount of time well spent in organising our work space is often the best way to save time and energy later. Both of these goals are admirable and reaching them often allows us to keep our sanity at times when it would be easily lost.
My point here, is that lately I have been BUSY. Some days I have flopped into bed and known that while I may be exhausted I didn't achieve much. On those days, I had spent far too much time and energy ticking boxes that others had decided were a priority for me to tick. Let me try that again. I was busy, yes, I was moving faster than I should and becoming very tense. I was working hard to complete tasks that were important to my colleagues or school leaders. I was doing these things even though I knew they were only important on paper. I did them because it's apparently my job. However, I was not feeling at all fulfilled and it was truly frustrating.
I decided, I no longer wanted to go to bed so frustrated and tired and dreading the work ahead of me. I decided to prioritise. I decided to change the criteria that I had been using for assigning priority to activities in my work day. This isn't anything all that new. It isn't difficult to find advice on how people choose their priorities and then set about getting things done. It's called productivity, efficiency, life coaching. Just Google it, you will see. After making such decisions, I needed a plan of action. You can see what others have done in all the corners of the internet and I'm sure you can see productivity hacks from every profession too. Although, I'm not other people. This is what I did and it seemed to work for me.
I decided that the most important tasks in my work day were the ones that prepared me to teach my class/es in the best way possible.
I then worked out that communicating with colleagues about my students was the next most important thing for me to do.
I began to prioritise and I stopped punishing myself when I didn't tick everything off my impossible list.
I love making lists, I've always made lists and I still do. The difference between my old lists and my new lists is that I have both prioritised them and changed how I look at them.
I list everything that is supposed to be done.
I work out what is "urgent" (i.e. there is a deadline and if it doesn't have a deadline or a clear reason for doing it then it is probably busy work, in case you were wondering) and what must be done by me.
If it has a deadline and doesn't need to be done by me (e.g. photocopying or laminating) I delegate it to someone else.
I then work out if it is related to the two vital categories I mentioned above, preparing my lessons or communicating with my colleagues about students.
If it doesn't fall definitively into those two categories it goes straight to the bottom of the list. It's no longer a priority. Simple as that.
I have to remind you that this may not sit well with your colleagues. For example, the teacher librarian might think it's more important for you to return the library books that you borrowed last month, but if you are short on time and long on jobs, it will be okay if those books sit on your desk another day – and it's okay for you to send a few students to return them on your behalf Your team leader or line manager might think you should have submitted the certificates for your last 5 years of professional development and your planning documents should be saved into the central file. But at the end of the day, those jobs can wait.
When I do flop into bed, I think about what I have done instead of what I haven't. I smile at the funny thing a student said when they finally understood a new concept. I remember how a teacher thanked me for the resources I shared with them. I close my eyes and breathe a sigh of relief that my lessons went well and my students learned something that day. Of course there will still be the days when someone throws a chair or rips up their homework. There will be days when a fellow staff member frustrates you because they haven't checked their emails or printed a student form that you need. Perhaps we have to remember that our colleagues have different priorities to us.
Sometimes, I would love to post on my blog, but it just isn't the most important item on my to do list. Sometimes, it is all I can do to revise the lesson plan and print out the newest exit slips. Sometimes, it's more important for my health that I play with my cat. Sometimes, family comes first. Sometimes, my top priority is me. No matter what I choose to put first, I need to accept my choice and relax.
That's that then. I shall put away my soapbox and consider what I can tell you that will actually help.

Integrative Research Support
The International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) is the world's premier research organization dedicated to reducing poverty and hunger through rice science; improving the health and welfare of rice farmers and consumers; and protecting the rice-growing environment for future generations. IRRI is an independent, nonprofit, research and educational institute, founded in 1960 by the Ford and Rockefeller foundations with support from the Philippine government. The institute, headquartered in Los Baños, Philippines, has offices in 17 rice-growing countries in Asia and Africa, and more than 1,000 staff.
Working with in-country partners, IRRI develops advanced rice varieties that yield more grain and better withstand pests and disease as well as flooding, drought, and other harmful effects of climate change. More than half of the rice area in Asia is planted to IRRI-bred varieties or their progenies. The institute develops new and improved methods and technologies that enable farmers to manage their farms profitably and sustainably, and recommends rice varieties and agricultural practices suitable to particular farm conditions as well as consumer preferences. IRRI assists national agricultural research and extension systems (NARES) in formulating and implementing country rice sector strategies.
Alumni of IRRI's educational initiatives include some of the world's leading rice scientists as well as high-level NARES and agriculture ministry officials. From 1962 to 2019, more than 300,000 students, researchers, farmers, and extension professionals, among others, received some form of training from IRRI and its partners. Within this total number, more than 2,000 scholars conducted research at the institute while pursuing their MS and PhD degrees. As free educational resources, books co-published by IRRI available online have received a total of about 6.2 million views with more than 50 million page views since 2007.
We work worldwide with all research institutions that share our goal. In particular, we work with the national agricultural research and extension systems of the countries where our target beneficiaries live. Rice research has no political boundaries. We search for new solutions to both old and emerging problems through personal and institutional efforts and through partnerships with farming communities and other institutions, both public and private.
IRRI is a member of CGIAR , a global research partnership committed to a food-secure future.
The Institute is the lead center for the CGIAR Research Program on RICE (RICE CRP).

Товарищество Собинской мануфактуры бумажных изделий — предприятие текстильной промышленности Российской империи.

В 1870 году на всероссийской мануфактурной выставке в Петербурге «Товарищество Собинской мануфактуры» удостоилось золотой медали «За хорошее качество пряжи и миткали, при обширном производстве». В 1882 году на Всероссийской промышленной и художественной выставке в Москве получило награду — право изображения Государственного герба Российской империи на вывесках и изделиях.

История
В 1856 году купцы Лосевы открыли в Москве торговый дом «Лука и Матвей братья Лосевы», торговали чаем, сахаром и мануфактурным товаром. Со временем братья Лосевы решили заняться более солидным делом, и в 1858 году купцы: владимирский — Лука Васильевич Лосев и ейский — Матвей Васильевич Лосев, совместно с владимирским купцом Александром Андреевичем Никитиным и кинешемским купцом Галактионом Ивановичем Миндовским) — учредили «Товарищество Собинской мануфактуры бумажных изделий». Директором мануфактуры был избран Лука Лосев, её правление находилось в Москве, в Старогостином дворе на Варварке.

26 мая 1858 года на имя Е. С. Тиличеева, владимирского губернатора, поступило прошение А. А. Никитина об учреждении им с товарищами Собинской мануфактуры бумажных изделий в пустоши Собинской Владимирского уезда. Мануфактура была основана на землях, принадлежавших Никитину и находилась в удобном месте — рядом шло строительство железной дороги Москва — Нижний Новгород, поблизости находилась также водная артерия — река Клязьма. В августе 1858 года (по другим данным 30 апреля 1859 года) фабрика начала работать на привозном сырье — хлопок поступал из Америки, а также из Бухары, закупаемый на Нижегородской ярмарке. Сырьё и готовая продукция поступали и отправлялись по железной дороге (станция Ундол ныне Горьковской железной дороги на линии Москва — Владимир).

Одновременно с фабрикой было начато строительство жилья для рабочих — согласно архивным документам, на фабрике насчитывалось 1300 человек, из них пятеро мастеров-англичан. Вокруг фабрики стали появляться постройки — каменные здания казарменного типа для рабочих и складские помещения, баня, выложенная камнем дорога до станции Ундол, наплавной мост через Клязьму. В 1873 году при фабрике было основано училище и построена деревянная больница (ныне Собинская районная больница). Количество рабочих в 1879 году достигло 1819 человек, стоимость производимой продукции — 2,2 миллиона рублей. В 1884 году был освящён храм Воскресения Христова, после этого поселение при предприятии «Собинова пустошь» стало называться Собинка. В ноябре 1889 года на Собинской мануфактуре произошёл крупный пожар, и за несколько часов сгорели все фабричные корпуса с машинами и товаром — убыток составил около 3 миллионов рублей. За полтора года фабрику восстановили, и в 1890 году она продолжила работать — с этого момента в её цехах стояло новое оборудование английских фирм, впервые появилось электрическое освещение, которое подавалось от центральной паровой машины через генератор. Таким образом Собинская мануфактура стала одним из крупнейших предприятий Владимирской губернии.

При фабрике была создана школа кройки и женских рукоделий дочерей фабричных рабочих. В 1901 году была открыта богадельня для престарелых рабочих и приют для малолетних сирот, а также детские ясли. В 1905 году на фабрике прошли массовые забастовки и первая революционная стачка. Весной 1912 года в Собинке состоялась рабочая маёвка, на которой выступил приезжий представитель большевиков из Москвы. Трудности на производстве появились с началом Первой мировой войны и последовавшей Февральской революцией. После Октябрьской революции, 28 июля 1918 года, предприятие «Товарищества Собинской мануфактуры» было национализировано. В Гражданскую войну оно остановило свою работу. После окончания войны, в 1922 году, декретом ВЦИК фабрике было присвоено звание «Коммунистический Авангард». Это имя сохранилось до 1990-х годов, в настоящее время входит в объединение фабрик ГОФ (Городищенская отделочная фабрика).

Здание рабочих казарм в настоящее время является памятником градостроительства и архитектуры регионального значения, охраняется государством. В Российской государственной библиотеке сохранился Устав товарищества Собинской мануфактуры бумажных изделий.

Eyeing Hispanic Customers
Sun | Business
Anne D'Innocenzio, The Associated Press — May 29th, 2003
A sign that translates to, "Buy them! Previously viewed films," along with other Spanish signs greet customers at a Blockbuster in Dallas. AP photo by Tony Gutierrez
NEW YORK -- Hallmark Cards is marketing 2,500 greeting cards for Hispanics, close to double the number of a year ago, while Blockbuster Inc. has posted bilingual signs and stocked video rentals in Spanish in nearly a quarter of its stores.
Kmart has a fashion line named for the Mexican pop star Thalia, a bid to woo young consumers. And Sears, Roebuck and Co. plans to unveil Lucy Pereda, a line of dressy women's clothing bearing the name of Cuban-born TV lifestyle personality.
With overall retail sales languishing, storeowners are hoping to give their business a boost by pursuing the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population, Hispanics.
Many merchants have sought out the Hispanic customer for years. But the overall industry found after the release of the 2000 Census that it had underestimated the size of the Hispanic population, which had surged by 58 percent to 35.3 million during the 1990s. The nation's Hispanics represented an opportunity for retail sales growth.
"The Census (2000) was very key," said Deidre Parkes, a company spokeswoman at Hallmark. "We knew we needed to increase our efforts."
But which strategies will work with Hispanics remain to be seen.
David Wolfe, creative director at The Doneger Group, a buying office in New York, believes that much of this spring's fashion trends -- including the explosion of bright colors and lots of ruffles -- is already the result of the Latino influence on American mainstream.
"It is colorful and flamboyant and sexy ... exactly the opposite of the minimalist fashion that killed fashion in the 1990s," Wolfe said.
In a testament to Latino power, the fashion line JLo by Jennifer Lopez, named after the entertainer, is among the standouts in teen departments of major stores.
"This was never geared toward Hispanics, but the fact that J.Lo is of Hispanic descent has helped," said Denise Seegal, CEO and president of Sweetface Fashion Co., which produces the line.
Some experts in Hispanic marketing are still wary of retailers' efforts, saying they need to pay attention to the differences within the Hispanic population, including their nations of origin and the parts of the United States where they live.
"Some of them (retailers) get it, and some don't," said Aida Levitan, president of the Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies, which works with U.S. companies to help promote products to Hispanics.
Cathy Areu Jones, a 32-year-old Vienna, Va., resident and publisher of Catalina, a lifestyle magazine geared to Hispanic women, believes "companies are just throwing spaghetti to the wall. They think that one size fits all."
Jones said the new fashions need to address Hispanic consumers' different body shapes, and the designs and advertising shouldn't perpetuate the stereotype of a sultry-looking Latina.
"I have a hard time finding clothes for myself," said Jones, who said she has to have her clothes tailored at the waist, but needs clothes that are more forgiving at the hips. All she sees in the stores, she said, is "the American cut."
And she doesn't wear the latest trends in fashion, like the ruffles and bright colors because she believes they perpetuate the Hispanic stereotype.
Major retailers including Kmart said they are working hard to get the fit right. Retailers also noted they have done extensive research to find out the preferences of Hispanic consumers.
Blockbuster has studied its Hispanic customers in different parts of the country and tailored its stores to meet their tastes.
Pete Wei, vice president of field marketing and customer segments at the video rental company, said that at its San Antonio, Texas stores, for example, Hispanic consumers preferred communicating in English, so consequently there are fewer videos and signs in Spanish.
"They behave like Americans and Texans," Wei said. But, in its Southern California stores, Blockbuster is bringing in more films in Spanish from Mexico.

BARCELONA, Spain – Barcelona's breathtaking La Sagrada Familia Basilica, designed by visionary architect Antoni Gaudi, has begun its final phase of raising six immense towers that officials say will make it Europe's tallest religious building.
Presenting the project Thursday, chief architect Jordi Fauli said the central "Tower of Jesus Christ," the tallest of the six, will rise 172.5 meters (566 feet) high, making it "the tallest religious building in Europe."
The towers and most of the church's structure should be completed in 2026 for the 100th anniversary of Gaudi's death.
The Sagrada Familia, an emblematic fixture of the Barcelona skyline and a major tourist site, had its first stone laid in 1882. It is 70 percent complete.
It received over 3.2 million visits in 2014.

Cleveland shares its summer harvest with the community
By Lisa Dalla Vecchia, Communications Manager
At the start of the school year, Grade 7 students in Maria Power's class wasted no time in showing care for the community in which they live.
Students brainstormed unique and creative ways to make a difference and decided they would use the bounty grown in their own backyards over the summer months to raise funds for a local organization that helps others in need.
"I strive to create a sense of community in the classroom and help students think about others in their daily lives," explained Teacher Maria Power.
Students and staff made herbs, fruit, vegetables and flowers available for sale. All funds generated from the sale of their summer harvest, in addition to any remaining produced, were donated to the Harvest Project.
"Projects such as this one are a win-win. They help reduce waste, encourage healthy eating, and provide education around what can be grown in our community," said Ms. Power. "This project in particular really brought our community together."
The class has set an ambitious goal of engaging in one significant project per month that strives to make the world a better place. We look forward to hearing and sharing with you more about the good work happening at Cleveland.
