Le Syndicat national de la sylviculture est un syndicat à sections. Celles-ci sont présentes sur une bonne partie du territoire québécois. Il compte plus de 850 membres et représente différents métiers de la sylviculture tels que : planteur, débroussailleur, abatteur.

Mission
Le syndicat intervient régulièrement, dans plusieurs sections, auprès des employeurs qui ne respectent pas les conventions collectives conclues, entre autres en ce qui a trait aux lois en
matière de santé et sécurité au travail, en assurance emploi, au code du travail et aux normes minimales du travail. Il a aussi déposé des griefs pour réclamer une rémunération lors des déplacements que les travailleurs ont à effectuer durant leur travail.

Affiliation

Le Syndicat national de la sylviculture SNS-CSN est affilié à la Confédération des syndicats nationaux, à la Fédération des travailleurs du papier et de la forêt ainsi qu'à plusieurs conseils centraux de la CSN.

Siège social
Le siège social du syndicat est situé au 124, rue Sainte-Marie à Rimouski dans l'édifice du Conseil central du Bas-Saint-Laurent CSN.

Historique
En 1999, les travailleurs sylvicoles du Québec en ont assez car depuis plus de 15 ans ils se sentent considérés comme des travailleurs de derniers recours, sans reconnaissance, et ayant à subir des conditions de travail inacceptables. La Confédération des syndicats nationaux et la Fédération des travailleurs du papier et de la forêt FTPF-CSN décident de les aider en lançant une campagne de syndicalisation dans toutes les régions où des travaux sylvicoles sont
effectués.
Les travailleurs ont été rencontrés sur leurs lieux de travail et il a été possible de constater
leur désarroi face à un travail qu'ils aiment, pourtant, malgré les nombreuses difficultés qu'il comporte. Cette campagne a permis de fonder, en 2001, le Syndicat national de la sylviculture (SNS–CSN).

Un premier comité exécutif syndical a été élu et plus de 18 sections furent créées dans toute la province. Le processus de syndicalisation fut ardu, durant cette période de nombreuses embûches étant présentes. Les employeurs se sont montrés très réticents à reconnaître les syndicats. Ils ont congédié des travailleurs, ont exercé des représailles et menacé de fermer des entreprises.

Malgré tout, le SNS–CSN  survit et accroît sa représentativité. En un peu plus de trois ans, il a pu conclure plus 18 conventions collectives, qui permirent à nos travailleurs d'améliorer
leurs conditions et, surtout, à civiliser les relations de travail, qui en avaient vraiment
besoin. Les gains furent importants : la plupart des ouvriers sylvicoles, qui obtenaient
comme salaire au rendement de 43 % à environ 48 % de la valeur de la subvention, reçoivent maintenant entre 53 et 55 % de celle-ci, plus l'ajustement d'environ 2 % par année de cette même subvention. Cette grille de taux n'avait pas été modifiée depuis plus de dix ans. Les travailleurs sylvicoles ont également obtenu des gains concernant les équipements de sécurité, les normes de contrôle des travaux et les clauses de mesurage de terrain.

Plusieurs auditions ont eu lieu et les décisions commencent à être rendues. Ces recours permettront peut-être, lorsque le processus juridique sera terminé, de faire comprendre aux employeurs et aux gouvernements que les conditions de travail ne respectent pas les lois existantes et que les modes de rémunération des travailleurs doivent être entièrement revus.

À l'automne 2007, la CSN et la FTPF ont mis sur pied une campagne provinciale dénonçant
les conditions de travail des sylviculteurs et revendiquant une restructuration qui tiendra compte du métier de sylviculteur et qui le reconnaîtra comme étant indispensable pour la société.

Présidence actuelle
L'actuel président du SNS-CSN est René Martel, planteur de métier, débroussailleur et abatteur manuel.

Throw a chronograph and a tourbillon into the mix, wrap the thing up in 18k yellow gold, and what do you get? Well, you get this: the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph.
A symbol of opulence, extravagance and success, the Audemars Piguet namesake is an institution in itself within the hallows of haute horlogerie.
And no other collection better exemplifies the Audemars Piguet ethos than the Royal Oak. Its infamous octagonal shape has become the mark of true high-end watchmaking.
Respected, revered and celebrated, the Royal Oak is perfection. So, what does that make the Offshore? I liken it to be the more confident, more outlandish and more adventurous brother of the Royal Oak. This is a brutal, unforgiving and confident timepiece whose sheer stature speaks for itself.
This is not for the faint of heart. This is a serious watch that costs some serious money. We're talking about serious car money.
A nice holiday house money. A very lavish boat money. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph 18k yellow gold case sits at 44mm in width and 14.43mm in height.
Thick and wide. Like I said, it's a brute, whichever way you look at it. It's good for about 100m worth of water resistance, but with respect to its 18k yellow gold case and bezel, I'd say the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph is best kept dry.
The black ceramic pushers and crown sit far from the case, which is typical of the Offshore aesthetic.
The skeletonised dial is picture perfect. I've come to expect nothing less from Audemars Piguet in terms of openworked dials and whatnot. They're the kings of this game, no question about it.
Through the sapphire crystal you're met with an abundance of brushing, beveling, polishing and crisp edging. The chronograph counters are legible. The chronograph seconds-hand is distinguishable. The tourbillon bridge matches the case, and the tourbillon carriage is finished exceptionally well.
The colour scheme of reds, yellows, greys, whites and blacks are a nod to a more youth-oriented approach, and I can see a large portion of these pieces being allocated to the Middle East and Asian markets.
The aesthetic of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph is extremely beautiful, whichever way you look at it.
It flows wonderfully well, and its appeal can be attributed to the flawless finishing of the openworked dial just as much as the perfectly brushed care. The colours contrast and mesh well, and the flow is actually really quite seamless.
The shift between warm colours, neutral colours and cool colours allows the piece to be worn in a fairly casual setting, as well as having the ability to be dressed up to a certain extent.
The main colour combination of gold and black just works so well for the piece, and I'd find it difficult to opt for a different colour arrangement that would give the piece the same amount of pop.
It's a very difficult piece to fault, and with that being said I can't find a single reason why you'd want to. It works to a degree that I absolutely did not expect it to.
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph is powered by the Calibre 2943, an in-house manufactured manually wound movement that's made up of 296 parts, has 28 jewels, beats at 3Hz and has a power reserve of about 3 days.
Front and back, the Calibre 2943 is a work of art. In a way, it sort of sits in the very ostentatious, very loud 18k yellow gold case rather discretely, ticking away doing its thing. It makes me laugh in a way, thinking that in this very aesthetically focused piece sits a mechanism that is more complicated than you can ever imagine, made entirely by hand, assembled by an expert artisan, and able to live far longer than you or I could ever dream of.
As far as I'm concerned, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph is an exceptionally well made, well executed and well thought out timepiece.
Will it appeal to the Royal Oak traditionalists? Absolutely not. Will it make the watch collectors of yesteryear liquidate some of their Pateks to acquire it? Hell no. Does it send shivers down my spine? Absolutely!
Keep your eyes peeled for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph. It will adorn the Instagram pages of the elite very shortly. From your NBA superstar, to a Middle East oil tycoon.
From a super wealthy Asian property mogul to your average AD. Everyone will be running around like a headless chicken trying to get their hands on it. Priced at about $280,000 the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph isn't exactly affordable, but then again when has anything worth getting been cheap?

Rem Koolhaas, Elia Zenghelis, Madelon Vriesendorp, Zoe Zenghelis Exodus, or the Voluntary Prisoners of Architecture: The Allotments 1972
These drawings come from a series of eighteen drawings, watercolors, and collages called Exodus, or the Voluntary Prisoners of Architecture. The dense pictographic storyboard reflects Koolhaas's earlier stints as journalist and screenwriter and is intended to be read simultaneously as a factual and a fictional scenario for the contemporary metropolis.
The title of the project alludes to Cold War West Berlin, a restricted enclave encircled by a forbidding wall—in effect, a prison on the scale of a metropolis, and one in which people sought refuge voluntarily. Exodus proposes a walled city in a long strip, with tall barriers that cut through London's urban fabric—an intervention designed to create a new urban culture invigorated by architectural innovation and political subversion. Here Koolhaas and his collaborators use collage to create vivid scenes of life within these visionary urban confines.

Natura Patch® is the answer to the challenge of cellular dynamisation (pillar 4).
Natura4Ever has obtained the authorization to sell Natura Patch® throughout the European Union (CE Standard, Medical Device Class 1).
I applied Patch to a woman who has been disabled for more than 10 years and is suffering in her shoulder joints. She was relieved quickly and spent for more than a week without any pain, which had never happened before. Until then, no medication or massage had been able to relieve her. Since then, she sometimes experience pain again, but with lesser intensity. In this case, I give her a patch that calms her down again for almost a week. I can confirm that for years, it is the only remedy that makes her pain disappear.
... My wife used the patches 4 times during inflammatory attacks and knee swelling caused by osteoarthritis, wear and slight pinching of cartilage. Her relief after applying each patch has been incredible, her pain disappearing, her edema too, and it seems her seizures are less frequent. The first 2 patches were used at the same time, after a seizure, and then every time pain returned, always with the same efficiency. You obviously may use my testimony. Many thanks !
I would like to share my testimony regarding your anti-pain patches. I can certify that, while all medical treatments have failed, the patches work, sometimes even the first one. Against acute pain, it takes 2, or 3 in a row, it's wonderful, it's a real relief and I fully intend to order again.

Not one word apt, one player fitting
I knew I was in trouble as soon as I read the "Director's Note." Directors and academics are always claiming to have found The Best Approach to interpreting and/or performing Shakespeare, but it takes a special kind of pomposity to claim, as director Ike Schambelan does in his notes for the Theater by the Blind production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, that "this is a deeply revolutionary production, so entertaining and clear that you never want to see another Shakespeare that doesn't let him speak in his own form, his own voice."
Leaving the theatre two hours later, the boyfriend said to me, "He was right about one thing -- I never want to see another production of Shakespeare."
If it weren't for the claims made in that program note, and in an equally off-putting preshow announcement by TBTB co-artistic director Schambelan, I would feel a little bit bad reporting on the awfulness of this production. But I don't like being told that what I am about to see will be brilliant, even when it turns out to be true, and when it turns out to be anything but true, I'm not inclined to be charitable.
Schambelan's "revolutionary" approach involves double-casting -- hardly a new idea, especially when it comes to Midsummer, but Schambelan claims that his production has been cast (with a total of 6 actors) exactly as Shakespeare intended, a claim that is hard to credit once you've sat through the final scene, which here is much longer and much less funny than it ought to be, because the Athenians keep dashing offstage and coming back on as Mechanicals, and then dashing back offstage and coming back on again as Athenians. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
In his preshow announcement, Schambelan informed us that since we were seeing a preview, we should expect things to go wrong. He added that, because of his revolutionary, just-as-Shakespeare-intended doubling scheme, entrances might be late or otherwise flubbed. Now, I would argue that you can either claim to be doing the best of all possible Midsummers or ask an audience to indulge the limitations of your approach to the script, but you can't do both (and I would further argue that professional standards discourage doing either).
Another of Schambelan's claims is that Shakespeare is best performed with no intermission or scene breaks. It's certainly true that "Shakespeare" and "3-hour running time" need not be synonymous, but if I may make one argument in favor of intermissions: they give the audience a chance to escape. I have been known to make a grateful dash for freedom at the intermission of a particularly awful play, but, try as I might, I could find no opportunity to escape from this one. The onstage action never stopped, and we were seated too far from the only entrance to the performance space to sneak out discreetly. Even so, I considered making a run for it when George Ashiotis (the blind co-artistic director of TBTB) was alone, or mostly alone, onstage, figuring he might not be too distracted by our obvious flight... but the cast occasionally used the theatre's only exit as a stage entrance, and I was afraid I'd run smack into an entering performer while beating a retreat. So I remained in my seat, despairing, for the entire two-hour nightmare. And yes, it lasts a full 2 hours, rather than the advertised 90 minutes. The extra running time might be due to Ashiotis's failure to learn his lines -- I don't think he got through a single speech without stumbling. And speaking of Ashiotis, artistic director he may be, but he is still by far the least charismatic performer in the cast, and yet he had somehow been cast as Bottom. A completely unfunny Bottom -- you can't tell me that is what Shakespeare intended.
Before I go on, let me be clear about one thing: I really, really wanted this play to be good. The mission of Theater by the Blind -- to create opportunities for and increase awareness of visually-impaired and otherwise disabled artists -- is a vital one, and if I could think of a single positive thing to say about this production, I would gladly say it. I wish, for example, that I could say this production gave me new insight (heh) into the imagery of eyes and seeing, sight and blindness, that Shakespeare employs throughout A Midsummer Night's Dream. I wish I could say that the presence of disabled actors onstage added new depth to the lovers' ruminations on beauty and their desire for independence. It certainly might have been so: Ann Marie Morelli played Hermia in a motorized wheelchair, and in a good production that would have added a deliciously dark subtext, as well as a novel comic touch, to the lovers' slapstick argument in Act 3, Scene 2. Think of the possibilities! Hermia, from her wheelchair, shrieking, "I am not yet so low / But that my nails can reach unto thine eyes." And Helena taunting her in return: "Your hands than mine are quicker for a fray; / My legs are longer, though, to run away." How wonderful in the imagination! And yet how dull onstage!
Midsummer is probably the funniest of Shakespeare's plays -- and maybe one of the funniest plays, period -- but you wouldn't know it from this production. Oh, you might amuse yourself, as I did, by listening for line readings indicating that the actor doesn't understand what he or she is saying -- you'll find plenty. But the director isn't content to let his actors simply misread their lines. In order to differentiate the rude mechanicals from the other characters (played as they were by the same actors, in not-at-all evocative costumes), Schambelan has the actors speaking their lines in heavy, completely random accents -- Peter Quince was Jamaican, Bottom was Slavic, etc. I only wish I were kidding. The actor playing Puck also adopts a different accent for each appearance, which I suppose was meant to be "funny." The costumes add nothing in the way of clarity or imagination; Schambelan is very proud of the actors' quick changes, but it would have been far more effective to simply dress everyone in black, rather than to have them change, however quickly, from one boring costume to another. The set design is equally boring, and the double casting requires all of the spell-casting and such to take place offstage, which makes the plot nearly impossible to follow. People are forever delivering their lines into the wings, or shouting from offstage (you are supposed to guess which character is talking, presumably, based on the accents). The action that does happen onstage is blocked so that much of it takes place in downstage corners of the playing area (it isn't exactly a "stage"), where the actors are all but hidden from view for anyone not in the front row. And as for the "9 songs" advertised? Let's just say we're working with a really loose definition of "song."
As I said above, the final scene, where the Athenians watch the mechanicals' production of "Pyramus and Thisbe," is interminable and totally unfunny, which is hard to believe, since it makes me laugh out loud on the page. Now that I think about it, though, I begin to wonder whether Schambelan's approach isn't successful after all. Describing his ("revolutionary") casting philosophy, he writes in his program notes, "The troupe doing the play-within-the-play is the whole troupe, so the piece snaps into focus." And it is true that, seen through the filter of the play-within-a-play, this production of Midsummer makes a perverse kind of sense. From the unnecessary prologue telling the audience how to interpret the play to the bad casting, incomplete memorization of lines, silly directorial choices and unfunny comedic touches, this production comes very close to suggesting what Midsummer would look like if it were performed entirely by Bottom and Co. So if that was the intention, TBTB has found success, and if, like Theseus, Duke of Athens, you are inclined to see a play you know will be terrible, you could hardly find a better candidate. "If we imagine no worse of them than they of themselves, they may pass for excellent men" -- truer words were never spoken. But I myself take more after Hippolyta, in that "I love not to see wretchedness o'ercharged," and I must say, Puck's final apology to the audience -- "If we shadows have offended," etc. -- has never seemed so necessary, or so inadequate.

[full details] Tiger JK, Yoon Mi Rae, Bizzy (MFBTY) comeback finalized for March 19th
February 26, 2015 DT MFBTY INTERNATIONAL	Leave a comment
MFBTY, a project group comprised of Korean Hip Hop legends, Tiger JK, Yoon Mi Rae and Bizzy, have confirmed they will be supplying their fans with new music after just over 18 months since their previous mini album "The Cure" was released (under the Drunken Tiger name).
Tiger JK has confirmed that they will be releasing their first full album on March 19th, 2015, and returning to the stages, which was very welcome news for their fans all around the world. On this album, it is expected to have a strong line up from all genres of Korean music scenes. One confirmed collaboration is with Korean Idol group BTS leader Rap Monster, who has been seen hanging out with MFBTY in their offices recently.
MFBTY, which is an acronym for My Fans Better Than Yours, was created back in 2013 by Tiger JK, Yoon Mi Rae and Bizzy. They created this group so they could produce music that they love to perform on stage. MFBTY has been stirring buzz by releasing several hits with soulful vocals and addictive melodies as well as experimental tracks which combines hip hop, electronic, and progressive sounds into one. Their focus is to create feel-good music for themselves as well as their fans.
MFBTY has repeatedly proved their worth by topping the charts with their debut single, "Sweet Dream," as well as the mini album title track "살자 – The Cure." Yoon Mi Rae also released a solo track featuring the other MFBTY members (Tiger JK, Bizzy) last December – Angel, which also got the number one spot in several music charts in Korea. Their debut single, "Sweet Dream," in particular gathered worldwide attention with its visually stunning music video produced by their creative director, Lumpens. US Billboard also mentioned the group in their articles, once again proving their presence around the world.
MFBTY also represented Korea in the world's biggest music market festival MIDEM in France (2013). MIDEM representative, Bruno Crolet, highly praised MFBTY, stating that he had never seen Asian music performers be able to reach a Caucasian crowd and get them to put their hands up and be one with them, He dubbed it "the best performance at MIDEM." Crolet also tweeted an article mentioning MFBTY showing his support and respect towards the group.
MFBTY is under their own record label, Feel Ghood Music. Apart from MFBTY themselves, there is also an electronic DJ, art directors, visual directors as well as other professionals who are signed under Feel Ghood Music, making them a versatile and unique record label. Their vision is to continuously evolve into a label that focuses on music as well as other parts of the culture. Feel Ghood Music had a great end of the year with Yoon Mi Rae's single track, "Angel," topping all charts.

Range & Habitat
Wreathed Hornbill
The species require vast undisturbed forest to be express its favorite activity: exploring. They are regarded as intolerant to habitat loss.
The wreathed hornbill is listed in IUCN Red List as Vulnerable and as an Appendix II species in CITES. Under national regulation, wreathed hornbill is protected under Regulation of Minister of Environment and Forestry No. 20 of 2018, Law No. 5 of 1990 and Government Regulation No. 7 of 1999.
In Indonesia, wreathed hornbill occurs in Kalimantan, Sumatra, Java and Bali (including a number of offshore islands). The species lives in lowland forests and hills up to 2,000 m asl. Its range extends to southern Bhutan, eastern India, southwestern China, Southeast Asia, and the Malay Peninsula.
Wreathed hornbill measures 75-85 cm in length. Male wreathed hornbill weighs 1.6-3.6 kg while female weighs 1.3-2.7 kg. Its back, wings, and abdomen are black with a metallic green tinge and a long white tail. Its long beak is pale white to yellowish. Its casque has low folds and clear, vertical dark orange-brown wrinkles on both upper and lower mandibles.
The feet are grayish green. Male wreathed hornbill has a brick red crown and nape with white to cream-colored face and neck. Its circumorbital skin is red with pink eyelids. The male's iris is dark red with a narrow blue ring. Underneath the bill is a yellow, featherless gular pouch with broken blue-black lines across the middle.
Female wreathed hornbill is smaller in size. Its head and neck are black with a blue gular pouch, with similar black lines as the male. The female's circumorbital skin is red with dark brown iris and a narrow blue ring.
The wreathed hornbill eats fruits including figs and fruits of the walnut family, ironwood, and mahogany trees. In Kalimantan, its primary food is lipid-rich fruits available during certain fruiting seasons. This hornbill species also eats small animals including bird eggs, small birds, tree frogs, and small bats, snakes, lizards, and invertebrates.
During the breeding season, wreathed hornbills need large and tall trees with natural cavities. The hole is then plastered by the female using its feces and food remains. The female lays 2 eggs but usually only 1 chick survives into adulthood. The species spends 111-137 days nesting: 13-14 days to prepare the nest and lay eggs, 40 days incubation, and 90 days raising the chicks.
In Kalimantan the breeding season lasts from January to May when fruit is abundant. Meanwhile breeding season in Sumatra is year-long except for December, and January, July-September in Java.
Wreathed hornbill cannot tolerate habitat loss and require vast and protected territory. The species is hunted locally and its population is expected to decline 30-49% in the next three generations. Therefore, the species is proposed to be uplisted to Vulnerable in the IUCN Red List.
The wreathed hornbill has a unique call that sounds like repeated, short and raspy barks. When flying, its wing flaps are loud and can be heard from 1 km away. The wing flaps are quieter when the feathers are wet. This species does not glide or soar as much as other hornbill species when flying.

This Is Russia's First Autonomous Strike Drone
The "Hunter" heavy strike drone has no equal in the United States.
VK/Military Informant
Images of what appears to be a new unmanned strike drone have emerged from Russia. The aircraft is believed to be the Sukhoi "Okhotnik" ("Hunter") heavy strike drone, under development since 2011. Okhotnik is designed to strike targets on the ground in support of manned aircraft, destroying air defenses and headquarters units.
The images first appeared on Russian social media depicting cockpit-free, single-engine flying wing aircraft. The drone is clearly built for stealth but lacks certain stealth features: It appears studded with what are likely antennas for testing purposes, and the engine nozzle is unshrouded and exposed. Ultimately Okhotnik will feature the use of composite materials and an anti-radar skin coating to further reduce its radar signature. There appears to be some heat blur behind the engine, radiating upward, to indicate that the aircraft's turbofan engine is active.
Alleged Okhotnik heavy strike drone.
The drone is officially known as Udarno-Razvedyvatelnyi Bespilotnyi Kompleks, or "Strike-Reconnaissance Unmanned Complex." ("Complex" is the Russian equivalent of calling a weapon or piece of equipment a "system" in the West.) Okhotnik was designed as a 20-ton combat aircraft—an impressive size considering the American F/A-18E/F Super Hornet weighs 16 tons empty and includes a cockpit and life-support systems for a pilot.
The Russian government signed a development deal with the Sukhoi Design Bureau in 2011, at which time the drone was described as a "sixth-generation aircraft" powered by two non-afterburning Klimov RD-33MK engines or a single Sukhoi Su-57 engine. The presence of a single engine nozzle indicates Okhotnik went the latter route. Okhotnik reportedly has a top speed of 621 miles an hour.
In July 2018, the Russian government's TASS news bureau quoted a military aviation expert as saying, "Probably, the Okhotnik has been designed to accomplish missions similar to the assignments set for U.S. UAVs—destroying enemy air-defense systems, communications, command and control posts in situations when the use of aircraft is associated with considerable risks for crews."
The Okhotnik prototype lacks shrouding for the engine exhaust that would reduce its rear-facing radar and infrared signatures.
Okhotnik will be a fully autonomous drone. That is, it will be able to take off, accomplish its mission, and land without human interference. Weapons use will require human approval, maintaining a "man in the loop" who can critically analyze a combat situation and if necessary abort an attack. Okhotnik will pioneer the development of a combat artificial intelligence system that will eventually go into Russia's sixth-generation fighter.
Okhotnik development was carried out at the Novosibirsk-based Chkalov Aviation Plant, and according to Russian state media has been carrying out ground runway tests since Thanksgiving 2018. The photos made public are likely from such tests and do not in any way suggest the aircraft has actually flown yet. In November TASS reported that the next step after runway testing was "will include so-called jumps—the aircraft will briefly take off and land almost immediately. Once those trials are over, the drone will make its maiden flight." TASS has further reported flights would begin in Spring 2019.
Russia's military has not integrated unmanned combat aircraft into its inventory to the same extent that the U.S. has, and Russia's drone industry is thought to be less sophisticated than those in the West. Armed U.S. drones, on the other hand, are mostly relegated to the MQ-9 Reaper and smaller aircraft using pusher turboprop engines. The first American turbofan-equipped drone designed for mainstream military use, the MQ-25 Stingray, will primarily function as an aerial refueling tanker with some intelligence collecting capabilities. In that sense, Okhotnik has no equal in the United States.
Everything we know about Okhotnik—other than the pictures—is from Russian state media and should be taken with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, there does appear to be a real combat stealth drone undergoing testing in Siberia. It's worth remembering, however, that the Sukhoi Su-57 fifth-generation fighter first flew in 2010 and as of 2019 is still not operational. An unmanned autonomous drone, not exactly a Russian specialty, could take just as long if not longer to develop.

The new Bauhaus Museum Dessau will open in 2019 so that the world's second-largest Bauhaus collection may be shown to the general public for the very first time. The museum is being built to commemorate the centenary in 2019 of the founding of the Bauhaus. With its location in the Stadtpark in the city of Dessau-Roßlau it will stand as a contemporary statement linking the historic Bauhaus buildings distributed throughout the metropolitan area.
In December 2015 the Spanish architects addenda architects (González Hinz Zabala) were commissioned to build the new Bauhaus Museum Dessau. The Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, which is both builder and owner of the museum, has since been planning the building and its construction together with the architects. At the same time, the Foundation's academic team have been working on the concept for the exhibition and its mediation.
There is a great deal to be planned, considered, decided and prepared. With the series "Open the Doors!" the Foundation's staff invite interested members of the public to follow the development process of the museum. How should we present the superlative collection? How can we lend the objects a voice? Which narratives are particularly important to us?
We look forward to discussing these questions with you in very different ways on six evenings, so that together we can open the doors to the new museum now – at least in our imaginations.
Unfortunately THIS EVENT IS CANCELLED !

Q: Flutter ripple effect for png or svg images I am looking for someway to add ripple effect on the png or svg images in flutter, without covering the transparent parts in image.
I use this code to add ripple effect over an svg image:
Stack(
      children: [
        SvgPicture.asset(
          R_Image.BACK,
          width: 45,
          height: 45,
          fit: BoxFit.fill,
        ),
        Positioned.fill(
          child: Material(
            color: Colors.transparent,
            child: InkWell(
              onTap: () {
                Navigator.of(context).pop();
              },
            ),
          ),
        ),
      ],
    )

And the result is as follows:

How to remove transparent parts of svg image from ripple effect?
In android, I use @android:id/mask for this purpose, but how to do that in flutter?

A: Try to wrap Stack with ClipRRect
ClipRRect(
  borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(10.0),
  child: Stack(
    clipBehavior: Clip.none,
    children: [
      SvgPicture.asset(
        R_Image.BACK,
        width: 45,
        height: 45,
        fit: BoxFit.fill,
      ),
      Positioned.fill(
        child: Material(
          color: Colors.transparent,
          child: InkWell(
            onTap: () {
              Navigator.of(context).pop();
            },
          ),
        ),
      ),
    ],
  ),
),

A: Try this
 body: new Center(
    child: new Container(
      child: new Material(
        child: new InkWell(
          onTap: (){print("tapped");},
          child: new Container(
            width: 100.0,
            height: 100.0,
          ),
        ),
        color: Colors.transparent,
      ),
      color: Colors.orange,
    ),
  ),
