Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema (Born in 1836) was born in the small village of Dronrijp, in Friesland, Netherlands. In 1838, his family moved to the town of Leeuwarden, where His father died when he was four, leaving him and his 4 siblings under the care of his mother. His mother had artistic leanings, and decided that her children's teacher should incorporate drawing lessons into the children's education. Alma-Tadema received his first training in art from a local drawing master who was hired to teach his older half-brothers. Alma-Tadema was intended to become a lawyer; but at the age of fifteen in 1851 he suffered a mental and physical breakdown. He was diagnosed as consumptive and the doctor gave him only a short time to live. He was allowed to spend his remaining days at his leisure, painting and drawing. Left to his own devices, he never resigned to fate, he worked hard and regained his health and decided to pursue a career as an artist.
In 1852, Alma-Tadema studied early Flemish and Dutch art at The Royal Academy of Antwerp. He studied under Egide Charles and Gustave Wappers. During his 4 years as a registered student at the Academy, he won several awards that earned him a lot of respect. Before leaving school, he became an assistant to Louis (Lodewijk) Jan de Taeye, the painter and professor whose courses in historical costume and history he had greatly enjoyed at the Academy. Up to the mid-1860s Merovingian themes were his favorite subject. However these subjects did not have a wide international appeal, so Alma-Tadema switched to themes of life in ancient Egypt that were more popular.

Bickers files appeal
by Robin Kemp September 15, 2022 September 15, 2022
Mitzi Bickers leaves the Richard B. Russell federal courthouse in Atlanta, Sept. 8, 2022. She was sentenced to 14 years in prison for her role in the Atlanta City Hall contract bribery scandal. She will wear an ankle monitor and is on house arrest until she reports to prison. Her attorneys say they will appeal to the U.S. Eleventh Circuit. Credit: Robin Kemp/The Clayton Crescent
Attorneys for former Clayton County Sheriff's Department Chief of Staff Mitzi Bickers have filed notice that they are appealing her conviction to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh District.
Bickers, who was convicted on nine of 12 counts related to the Atlanta City Hall bribery scandal, remains on house arrest with an ankle monitor until the federal Bureau of Prisons tells her to report to serve her sentence. (She is allowed to go to and from church, medical and legal appointments.)
Attorney Marissa Goldberg filed the notice of appeal with the U.S. Northern District of Georgia Court on Wednesday, Sept. 14:
A check of the Eleventh Circuit's online filings did not return a copy of the appeal as of press time.
Attorney Drew Findling said on Sept. 8 that the defense had "mixed feelings" about the sentence.
"On the one hand, we do know that the judge gave far less than the government had asked and far less than the sentencing guidelines called for," Findling told reporters immediately after Bickers was sentenced. "But at the same time, we still maintain firmly that we are concerned about the issue of the trial penalty, whether it's in this courthouse or any courthouse around the country. It just seems that you're discouraged for exercising your constitutional right to go to trial."
Pointing out that Bickers had been offered 60 months if she had "opted to not go to trial" by pleading guilty, Findling said, "She decided to go to trial. She decided to test the system, and there were significant acquittals [the not guilty verdicts on three charges] in this case. And so, we care about Mitzi Bickers, we care about her family, and we care about her community, and it's for that we are extremely disappointed. Because the world is a better place with her free and with her contributions."
He said "the real Mitzi Bickers" is the one who houses homeless veterans and does other charitable works in the community.
"I think the more important focus should be on who we make deals with when it comes to our federal government. I think that's something that we tried to put a lens on today that the community needs to think about," Findling told reporters. "I think we need to think about the fact that all of your stations opened up with news about Jackson, Mississippi and how the people there are drinking poisoned water, and Mitzi Bickers tried to do something about that. And perhaps if our federal government spent more money on that, and less money researching who spends money on chicken wings and fundraising, and who goes to strip clubs, perhaps the people in Jackson would be better served, and pregnant women would have clean water, and children would have clean water, and seniors would have clean water. So it is ironic what led each of your news stations' stories today, on the day of the sentencing."
Findling was referring to Bickers' superceding federal indictment on one count of bribery, for allegedly trying to influence Jackson, MS officials to help her get at least a part of the city's $1 billion Wastewater Consent Decree Program Management Services Contract, "as well as a piece of another $75 million contract for a new convention center hotel," as reported by The Northside Sun.
As part of the alleged scheme, Bickers repeatedly brought then-candidate Mayor Tony Yarber to Atlanta, including an infamous party at her Lake Spivey home where Yarber and guests were greeted by strippers wearing only body paint, and treated him to a New Orleans strip club where he allegedly received a lap dance.
The jury found Bickers not guilty on the bribery charge. E.R. Mitchell, the contractor who testified against Bickers and who the government said had paid for Yarber's trips, pleaded guilty. Bickers' attorneys argued at sentencing that Mitchell, not Bickers, had run the Atlanta scheme.
Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill hired Bickers after she was forced to resign from Atlanta City Hall for leaving her consulting income off her financial disclosure statement. Bickers did not mention her employment at City Hall nor her ongoing political consulting business when she applied for a job as a CCSO corrections officer.
Within a few years, Hill promoted Bickers to a specially-created post of chief chaplain, later making her chief of staff.
Hill was suspended by Gov. Brian Kemp pending the outcome of Hill's own federal trial on charges he abused his power under color of law by allegedly using jailhouse restraint chairs to punish inmates.


This last month has been incredibly busy! I went from having nothing to do to non-stop work weeks. I've been scoring a pilot episode for a TV show – 15 minutes of original score in 3 weeks. Which isn't that much music, but with a full time job, changes for the Zelda concert and a somewhat limited team to help me it's been rather crazy. Unfortunately I can't tell you anything about the show yet as it's highly confidential at this point. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will be picked up so that you can see it for yourself some day! All I can say is that we had two great recording sessions last week and we're now working on mixes. One of my favorite things about LA is that you have some of the best talent at your finger tips. Whatever you need is a phone call away. I can write a track one day and have an ensemble of musicians to play my music beautifully the next. The recording sessions are always such a reward and make all the stress leading up to them worth it.
Hopefully I get to share something with you shortly.


No matter how busy we are, it's always good to pamper yourself one way or another. Which is why I was glad (& thankful) when Bellezza Aesthetics invited me to try out one of their facial treatment.
They were really caring to send SMS to remind you about the appointment and also contact you just in case people like me who seldom check SMS (oops).
Upon arrival, I was lead to a cozy room (with a comfortable high sofa chair) for me to fill up my particular and also to relax myself before the facial. The whole interior design of the place and also services they provided makes me feel like a queen.
TIP: Head to the toilet before facial or else you have to hold your pee throughout which is kinda annoying!
I did the one of their signature facial treatment: Reawaken Skin Booster.
Since my only skin concern is acne scar, they recommended this treatment for me. Well I do have a few visitors (aka pimples) every now and then on my face due to my period/menstruation but I guess it wasn't THAT bothering me at the moment so I decided to opt for this treatment instead.
And that's when I realised from the beautician that my skin is a combination of oily and dry. I have always thought that I only have oily skin instead. So this is a good way to clear misunderstanding and also let you be aware of the facial products you should use to improve your skin condition.
This treatment basically regenerate and repair my skin and I must say it really work for me! My skin feels so much smoother and brighter (glowing)!! Totally love the result.
After the facial, I was lead to the same room and have my after facial snacks + tea! And it ended the whole facial treatment really nicely.
Bellezza Aesthetics is offering a trial at $38 with a skin analysis scan just for you!
Simply quote "Elyssa" to enjoy this offer.

Old Tom Morris, Keeper of the Greens
Mixed Metal - Hardwood Base
Old Tom Morris (1821 - 1908) - Four Time Open Champion (1861-1867) Greens keeper, Course Designer, Ball Maker and Club Maker -
"Old Tom still holds two British Open Records, the oldest winner at age 46 in 1867 and the biggest margin of victory 13 strokes in 1862. In his 20's, "Old" Tom was apprenticed to Allan Robertson at St. Andrews as a ball maker, and soon started to partner him on the golf course. He left St. Andrews to become greens keeper at Prestwick in 1851, and was in instrumental in arranging the first Open Championship which was played at Prestwick in 1860.
"Old" Tom Morris returned to St. Andrews in 1865 as greens keeper and then professional to the Royal and Ancient golf club, a post he held until his death in 1908. His bust looks down on the first tee from the front of the royal and ancient clubhouse to this day.
As a player he was described as having a long slow swing, which enabled him to use very whippy shafts in his clubs. He was a long and straight hitter, a splendid approacher, and admirable putter, except that he had a weakness for missing short putts.
He was prepared to accept challenges from unknown new players, as he showed in his willingness to play the brash upstart, Willie Parks in 1854. When he died in 1908, at the age of 87, he was saluted as "a man of unspoiled simplicity and genuineness of character" and was rightly esteemed as the Grand Old Man of Golf.

Donald Trump: Comey's leak of memo 'totally illegal?'
By Miriam Valverde June 11, 2017
President Donald Trump questioned whether fired FBI director James Comey broke the law when he had a friend share with the press the content of a memo written during his time at the FBI.
"I believe the James Comey leaks will be far more prevalent than anyone ever thought possible. Totally illegal? Very 'cowardly!' " Trump tweeted June 11.
I believe the James Comey leaks will be far more prevalent than anyone ever thought possible. Totally illegal? Very 'cowardly!'
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 11, 2017
Trump's tweet and Comey's June 8 testimony spurred a lot of discussion on the Sunday political shows about Comey's decision to share a memo about a meeting with Trump. Comey shared the memo after the president had fired him.
Trump, his private lawyer and supporters have called Comey a "leaker" and suggested that what Comey did was illegal.
On ABC's This Week, host George Stephanopoulos asked Preet Bharara, a former U.S. attorney who was also fired by Trump, if there was anything illegal about the leaked memo that led to a May 16 New York Times story saying Trump had asked Comey to drop the investigation on former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
"So I'm not in the business of making legal pronouncements on what's legal or what's criminal anymore. But I will say, it sounds like more of a distraction," Bharara said. "First of all, I think nothing that was in the memo or in the conversations that he had with his friend at Columbia Law School was classified."
Bharara said Trump's team also was aware that the memo issue would come up at the hearing, yet did not invoke executive power to prevent Comey from speaking about them. Trump attorney Jay Sekulow, who appeared later on the show, argued that Comey's decision was "unprecedented" and that Comey did not give the Trump administration an opportunity to determine if they would invoke executive privilege on the memos.
The text of Comey's memos have not been publicly released. Comey's written remarks, disclosed a day before his hearing, detail five meetings he had with Trump and why he created memos about the discussions.
Comey at the hearing acknowledged that he considered the memo he shared with his friend to be a personal, not government, document. "My view was that the content of those unclassified -- the memorialization of those conversations -- was my recollection recorded," Comey said.
Several law professors told us there are no laws prohibiting Comey from sharing conversations he had with Trump in an unclassified manner.
"It absolutely is legal for Comey to share his own private reflections that do not consist of closely held national security secrets with the press, whether by passing on the information himself or through a friend," said Heidi Kitrosser, a law professor at the University of Minnesota.
"Anti-leak" laws like the Espionage Act only apply to closely held national security information, Kitrosser said.
"There is absolutely no basis that I have seen to believe that Comey's private recollections fall into that category," Kitrosser added.
If information is classified, it might be covered by the Espionage Act or another federal law and therefore illegal for Comey to disclose it, added Jamal Greene, a constitutional law professor at Columbia University. (He's also a colleague of the professor with whom Comey shared the memo.)
"But I know of no reason why sharing the content of a private conversation with the president with the press would be illegal," Greene said. "In addition, and significantly, the disclosure is protected by the First Amendment."
'Privileged communications'
Trump's legal team has argued that conversations between the president and other members of the executive branch are "privileged" and should not be disclosed to the press without authorization.
Again, legal experts disagreed.
Trump's private lawyer, Marc Kasowitz, in a press conference after Comey's June 8 hearing said Comey admitted to making "unauthorized disclosures to the press of privileged communications with the president."
Executive privilege can be invoked to prevent the compelled disclosure of private executive branch communications and deliberations in an evidentiary proceeding, Greene told us.
But it does not apply to communications with the press, he said.
Executive privilege must be explicitly invoked for it to apply in a testimonial setting, Greene said. But based on the 1974 U.S. Supreme Court case, United States vs. Nixon, another branch of government might still be able to insist on disclosure of information if its interest in disclosure is weightier than the president's interest in confidentiality in the specific material at issue, said Peter M. Shane, a law professor at Ohio State University.
Also, not all private conversations with the president are privileged, as many will concern topics outside of the president's constitutional duties, said Lisa Kern Griffin, a law professor at Duke University School of Law.
Griffin and other experts have pointed out that once the existence and substance of a conversation are publicly revealed, the privilege is waived.
Griffin also noted that "leaking" ordinarily refers to unauthorized revelations of classified material, which are illegal. But no crime arises from discussing privileged conversations, she said.
"Rules about parties disclosing conversations that might be privileged are ethical, or professional norms — there is no relevant crime," Griffin said.
Another take: Memos as government property
At least one expert found fault in Comey's tactics.
Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, said Comey's sharing of the memo with a friend was "unauthorized and thus unlawful," because the material was FBI information covered by federal rules and regulations.
Comey was not allowed to treat the memos as personal property, Turley said, given that they were written in the context of a federal investigation, on an FBI computer and revealed to others in the leadership team.
Turley said Comey is unlikely to face criminal charges, but he could be found in violation of professional standards.
Fox News Channel's Gregg Jarrett, a former defense attorney, in an opinion piece referenced the Federal Records Act and records management regulations within the FBI to make the case that documents made in the course of business are property of the U.S. government, not the author. "And so are its contents. It matters not whether the document, as this one, is unclassified," Jarrett wrote.
Diane Marie Amann, a law professor at the University of Georgia, countered that the primary purpose of the Federal Records Act is to preserve important records.
"To share information in a document, or a printout of a document first prepared on a computer, would not seem to undercut this purpose, given that the document will remain available for preservation, in the computer itself and in other printouts," Amann said.
Most Experts Consider Legal

Furniture crossover culture – Exhibition looks at how japanning combined eastern design with British craftsmanship
During the 17th century, European craftsmen were captivated by lacquer ware imported from Asia.
Frances Allitt
They responded by creating furniture and works of art that emulated the style of the pieces they admired through the technique known as japanning.
In its winter exhibition, Looking East: Japanned Furniture of Georgian England (continues until December 15), Mackinnon Fine Furniture has assembled a collection that celebrates the European works and the Asian pieces that influenced them.
It features around 20 examples of 18th century japanned English furniture in the gallery's ground floor space as well as several pieces on loan.
"There's always been a fascination with the crossover of different cultures, and the interplay between the colourful lacquer and japanned pieces really appeals to the current market," says gallery manager May Geolot.
Buyers will have a chance to browse through clocks, chairs, cabinets and more.
One of the highlights is a pair of green japanned bureau bookcases, attributed to Giles Grendey from c.1740. They feature mirror plates, interiors fitted with pigeonholes and folio shelves and each is decorated with matching gilt chinoiseries. Notable for being a pair (these were unusual in 18th century England), the pieces are also marked by their rare olive colour.
It is just one example of the range of colours also including red, cream and other greens in Mackinnon's offerings. These are ranged around the gallery's exhibition space, which has been pared down for the purposes of the show. Each piece stands out and the setting aims to give potential buyers a chance to consider the versatility of each.
"We set up the gallery in a slightly more minimalist way to show these pieces off in a different light," says Geolot. "The japanned pieces work across all types of interiors, both traditional and contemporary, Georgian spaces or a white cube."
The gallery – set up by former Mallett dealer Charlie Mackinnon in 2005 – aims to appeal to a diverse client base and to draw in new buyers as well as traditional collectors for the furniture and fine art it offers. Its website features the catalogue of each exhibition, and it supplements its online profile with an active Instagram account and a regular newsletter.
With a street-level exhibition space on St James's, it is in a position to benefit from the rhythms of the London calendar, particularly the semi-annual auction high seasons, now marked too by the double edition of London Art Week (the winter edition of which takes place this week).
These are the times of the year that bring new visitors and potentially new clients through the doors.
Indeed, Geolot tracks the idea for the current exhibition back to the comparable week last summer, when Mackinnon hosted a themed show, Gilded: Golden Treasures of Georgian Furniture.
"We had success with our giltwood exhibition and wanted to continue to explore different techniques and materials used in the 18th century to show the variety of pieces made at that time," she says.
"We set up the gallery in a slightly more minimalist way to show these pieces off in a different light
Now, along with its annual appearance at the LAPADA Art & Antiques Fair in September, the gallery plans to continue running themed exhibitions on a biannual basis – a chance for those in search of English furniture to discover something that might be a little different.

Uncuffed is a radio series produced by men inside Solano State Prison in Vacaville, California.
The men record 40–60 minute interviews with other prisoners. They edit down those interviews into beautiful audio gems, using computers donated to the prison by KALW.
The producers come from all walks of life. They are poets, musicians, actors, and writers who share a passion for revealing the human side of incarceration.
Their names are Damon L. Cooke, Steve Drown, Spoon Jackson, Joe Kirk, Bryan Mazza, JulianGlenn Padgett, and Brian Thames. Learn more about them below.
The producers are guided by radio professionals from the outside: Hannah Kingsley-Ma, Jessica Placzek, Andrew Stelzer, and Eli Wirtschafter.
Uncuffed is supported by Arts in Corrections, a program of the California Arts Council with funding from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Content is approved by Lt. John Ojo. Thanks also to Brian Unden, Dr. Kenya Williams, and Brian McCann.
Listen to the stories from Uncuffed here.
Listen to an audio introduction by the producers below.
Damon is a writer, poet, author, visionary and motivational speaker. He has helped men and women to develop financial literacy, and experience a better quality of life. He believes that everyone must be taught the skills of economic empowerment and emotional intelligence.
"My journey with KALW's Solano Storytelling Project has opened me up to the possibilities of producing stories that ask listeners to look at social and restorative justice through a new prism," says Damon.
Over his 25 plus years of incarceration, he has maintained a winning spirit.
Steve Drown is a photojournalist who is currently employed at the CSP-Solano Media Center as a Television Production Specialist. He is a staff writer and photographer or the Solano Vision News, and is one of the original journalists from Solano's previous newspaper Solano Vision.
Steve is a Navy veteran, honorably serving during the Vietnam war era. He's also an actor, appearing in Solano Shakespeare productions; his credits include Ross in Macbeth, Lysander in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Polonius in Hamlet, and Corin in As You Like It.
Steve says that being a part of KALW's Uncuffed is right in his wheelhouse.
Having served over 40 years, he has a voice that can benefit the inmate population. He sees this program as an avenue through which he can provide insight not only into the prison experience, but also into the consciousness of the general public. He'd like them to have a clearer, more correct understanding of prisoners, their environment, and their day–to-day struggles and conflicts.
Decades ago, Stanley "Spoon" Jackson sat in the courtroom stunned, puzzled and lost as he listened to the District Attorney roll out words he did not know. He said it was like being sent to an island where all of the people spoke a language he had never heard.
Afterwards, he saw the effect the D.A. had on the jury — he went back to the cell and started studying the dictionary.
"At that point I vowed to never again allow unknown words to trap me," Spoon says. An earnest flute player, he got his start and inspiration from Mary Youngblood, the Grammy award winning flutist and instructor.
Spoon is also an award-winning author of fiction, non-fiction and poetry, who says he has the work ethic of a tribe of ants. He believes that audio recording skills are an art form, and that these skills can lead to a lot of dreams coming true.
Joe Kirk is a singer, songwriter, artist, and actor born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. In his time in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Joe has focused on participating in positive programs where he can better himself, such as Solano Shakespeare.
In his time working with KALW, Joe's been most excited to learn how to record audio, and work with the latest version of Pro Tools, the music industry's standard professional studio software. He's also learned the art of the interview — skills like how to make people comfortable so they share the many interesting stories that make up their lives.
"I believe it's our duty as human beings to strive and be the best possible people we can be," says Joe.
Joe enjoys travelling, and looks forward to the many people he'll meet as part of this program. He's always up for learning new things.
From an early age, Bryan Mazza has been a lover of all things radio as well as a writer.
Prior to being trained by KALW, Bryan happily admitted that he was virtually computer illiterate. He's hoping the training he's received will give him marketable skills in sound production and radio engineering.
Convicted of robbery, drug and gun possession, Bryan is in his third year of recovery. He'd like to give back to his community in a positive manner.
"I hope to produce shows that allow our listeners to hear the unique perspectives of incarcerated people, because there's a lot of good people in prison here that simply made bad choices," says Bryan.
Bryan believes this opportunity represents CDCR's belief in rehabilitation and transformation of its incarcerated population.
"This is a good look for CSP-Solano and it fits that it's connected to the education department here. It will show our listeners that change can occur in prisoners, through honesty and hard work," says Bryan.
This was Luke's reality over two decades ago, after being sentenced to 32 years to life. Today he is living intently with mindfulness, and involving himself in pro-social programs where he can use the skills he's learned to be an asset to society.
After 14 seasons with Marin Shakespeare's San Quentin Shakespeare group, Luke plans upon his release to continue his love of theatre and move into a movie career.
"San Quentin Shakespeare was a great ride for me because I found that the social themes of life ran through all of his plays, even his sonnets," says Luke.
Always looking for the next best thing, when the opportunity to learn radio presented itself, Luke said he was in.
"There are stories everywhere, and mine will put a human face on the incarcerated," he says.
Luke's mission is to listen to the details, get "good tape" and create great stories for his listeners.
After approximately a half century of life, and half of that credited to imprisonment, Brian recently began to understand that much less personal emphasis should be placed on who he thinks he is, and much more attention given to recognizing the opportunities and realities of becoming.
For him, becoming is active and dynamic; powerful and inspirational; self-possessed yet reliant. Emotionally, morally, academically, and socially Brian is consistently becoming better. In his becoming, Brian has authored several books, written countless essays, and provided a picture of transformation.
The Solano Storytelling Project is just one more thing that is helping him become all that matters. Since becoming part of the program, he has found a new outlet for his need to write, by producing radio pieces that will inspire listeners to initiate discourse on social justice issues.

ENVIROMENTAL POLICIESadmin2019-04-10T14:31:06+02:00
"E. METAXA & CO PC" is steadfast in its commitment to environmental protection and
sustainable growth. The company's environmental policy is based on the following principles:
1. Taking steps to protect the environment by avoiding activities that pollute or disrupt it, in
accordance with relevant legislation.
2. The establishment and adoption of an Environmental Protection System throughout the
production process, based on the principles and obligations resulting from European
regulations and standards, that the company is strictly adhering to.
3. Constant evaluation and improvement of the company's environmental performance.
4. Programs of continuous education for the company's staff, regarding environmental and ecological issues.
5. The implementation of an "open-dialog" policy and frequent briefings amongst the executives of the company.
6. The adoption by the management team and all company executives of the idea of environmental responsibility.
Compliance with the regulatory framework and the adoption and implementation of all the rules
and guidelines related to environmental protection that "METAXA" itself has established, are an
integral part of its staff's and partners' responsibilities, and constitute a necessary condition for
potential cooperation.
The company's management and the chief executive are committed to the continuous and
uninterrupted implementation of the environmental policy and will endeavor to constantly improve
and upgrade it.
Furthermore, they will make sure that the environmental policy of the company will be available
to the whole staff of the company, as well as to its clients, its suppliers and the public.
Responsible for the company's compliance to all the above regulations and requirements, the
General Administrator of Environmental Management is confirmed to be Mrs. IouliaEirinopoulou
(security technician), whose responsibilities include overseeing of its implementation in each stage
of production and briefing the company's executives.
ENERGY SAVING- ACTION REPORT 2017-2018
In accordance with the guidelines described above, during the period of 2017-2018 the
company undertook a number of actions that are outlined below, in order to minimize energy
consumption during its operations and consequently improve its environmental performance.
The first step was replacing all fluorescent lamps in all workplaces with LED lamps. More
specifically, there were 212 36W fluorescent lamps in total, which were replaced with 22W LED
lamps. This shift resulted in a net reduction of power consumption of approximately 6.000 KWh per year.
Analytically:
{(212 lamps) x (36W – 22W) x (8h / day) x (250 days / year)} / 1000 ≈ 6.000 Kwh / year
Another step to reduce energy consumption was the replacement of the 47,80 kW cutting
machine with a new modern model with lower kW power consumption.
This action resulted in the reduction of energy consumption by approximately 3.000 kWh per
month, or 36.000 kWh per year, beginning from April 2018 when the replacement was completed,
as is shown in the monthly energy consumption reports provided in the bills of PPC SA-Hellas (DEI).
ENERGY SAVING – 2019/2020 ACTION PLAN
Within this framework, the company's next action will be to upgrade the factory's heating
system, which currently works with a 100.000Kcal/h petroleum boiler.
Specifically, as part of the company's action plan, all radiator knobs in the factory floor and
offices will be replaced by new ones equipped with thermostatic actuators, which would be
adjusted to the desirable temperature for each space. These devices monitor the temperature in
their area and, after the desired point has been reached, they adjust the power output of the
corresponding radiator through the heating network's water circulation. In this way no more energy
is consumed than that which is necessary to get the temperature to a specified target level and
maintain it.
In this way, it is estimated that petroleum consumption by the heating boiler will go down by at
least 10%.
The company has also planned seminars by our security technician during the first semester of
2019, revolving around improving energy management. The goal of these seminars is for the staff
to be trained on how to use machinery and lightning in a way that would be more efficient in terms
of energy consumption.
Our target for 2019, is to further reduce energy consumption by two percentage points (2%).
WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCESS
Regarding waste management, as it relates to the manufacturing process, the company has
been working with the waste collection and processing firm SIMONI VERA ZEF since 01/07/2017.
As per our contract, they are responsible for the collection of the following materials:
1. Wastes from treated textile fibers
2. Paper & cardboard packaging
3. Plastic packaging
The materials are collected weekly or twice each month, as per the contract.
The person in charge of the waste management of the company is confirmed to be Mr. Stavros
Maniadis (not to be confused with the company's CEO).

The plant may have been highly effective at generating power, but safety concerns had been raised. The four reactors were of the Soviet RBMK design, which produced both plutonium and electric power. This meant that they were different from standard commercial designs, as they employed a unique combination of a graphite moderator and water coolant. Adding to these safety concerns, the reactors were unstable at low power, primarily owing to control-rod design. In 1986 the Soviet Union was an 'interesting' place.
No, it was far better to put the blame on human error. Over 25 members of the Communist Party were expelled for their 'role' in the disaster and six Chernobyl workers were accused of violating safety rules during experiments on reactor four. Dyatlov was accused of sending four subordinates to inspect the burning reactor without telling them of the radiation hazard. All of them were found guilty and given sentences varying from two years in a camp to 10 years in jail. The government had their scapegoats but, just like the radiation leaking out of reactor four, the political consequences of the accident could not be contained and one of the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster was the demise of the Soviet Union.
Gnawing the flesh off corpses lying unattended in Chinese streets; all from a country that was supposedly producing 596 million tons of grain a year. Mao was convinced it was everyone else's fault. He blamed the provincial officials for not following his reforms closely enough, then for following them too rigidly. He blamed the Party in 1959 when he sensed that the officials were starting to move away from him, which after the Leap's failure was becoming glaringly obvious. " A new anti-fascist campaign was launched by Mao, which purged anyone who wasn't feeding him the lies he wanted to hear.

We have had a lot of work to do in the cabins, physical and psychological work.
One night Francisco woke up around three o'clock in the morning and saw four burning pyramids in the room which we occupy in the Albericoque house. It is the same room where Shree Vasant appeared with fires. This time there were only the pyramids with fire; there was no one with the pyramids.
A few days passed and because we were in the midst of what is called "the Bolivian or Altiplano winter" in the mountain range, there was a little rain during a few hours, but very little. There was lightning and there were thunderstorms.
That day Francisco did one hour of Om Tryambakam Homa in the morning and one woman doctor who is staying there started some meditations of Green Tara, which she had stopped doing for a few days, but that day she, as well as Francisco, received guidance to do something special. That was February 15th.
Around 2:40 P.M., the gardener was running all over the place, warning the people from Cabins 1 and 2, the biggest ones, and the ones which are adjacent to the vineyards of the west side of Albaricoque, to vacate the cabins immediately because an avalanche is coming from the Knakana Mountain, which is in front of Albaricoque from the north side. We saw an immense river of mud rapidly coming down towards us and the cabins from the brook which has the shape of a triangle. The people started to go up the road and get farther away from that river of mud.
With Francisco, we did the opposite. We got closer to the avalanche, while people were desperately yelling at us to get away from there. Francisco started to chant some mantras, while with our hands we were trying to do some mudras, and also saying, "Back, back! In the Name of Shree Vasant, this is going to be saved! Om Shree! Om Shree! Om Shree!" like this, one after the other. Meanwhile, on the other side where the mud should have filled the parking lot first and the big cabins, a wall of mud three meters high rose up towards us without advancing, not even to reach a car which had remained in the parking lot because it had not been possible to get it out. The back of the car was touching the bamboo-like fence which was leaning towards the east and was full of mud on top of it. The car, however, had not received one single stain of mud.
In conclusion, the avalanche literally turned and because a wall was formed on the side where we were reciting the mantras, the river of water and mud passed by the side of the fence of the cabins without touching even a hair of the place.
The people who were there could not believe it and they took many photos that they said they will send to us.
The television people came the next day. We gave our testimony that thanks to the fact that the healing fires have been done in that place for twenty years, the place has been protected.

Government could pocket £100bn from pensioners in proposed RPI changes
Pension savers in defined benefit schemes could lose up to 20 per cent of their income, if government reforms to the way inflation is calculated go ahead.
This stark warning comes from Insight Investment, who claim that the government could pocket around £100bn as a result.
These figures are contained in a technical analysts that Insight as submitted to the current consultation on RPI (retail price index) methodology, which is set to close on August 21.
It points out that there are still more than 10m people who benefit from DB schemes, and most are unaware of these potential changes, or the consequences it might have on their retirement income.
Insight's analysis shows that a member of a defined benefit pension scheme who is retiring at age 65 on a starting income of £20,000 could lose in excess of £30,000 over the course of their retirement, if the way their pension is uprated each year to take account of inflation is changed.
In submitting this response to the consultation, Insight has urged the UK government and the UK Shareholders Association (UKSA) to give careful consideration to the broader economic consequences of RPI reform before making a final decision.
Insight head of market strategy Rob Gall says: "If RPI is simply aligned with CPIH — the consumer price index which includes housing costs — we believe this would significantly reduce the pension fund benefits received by end members, and may result in a transfer of wealth from index-linked gilt holders to the UK government of around £100bn.
"A fair and equitable outcome can be achieved if RPI is aligned with CPIH plus an appropriate margin to ensure that there are no resultant losers."
Insight has worked actively to raise awareness of the implications of the proposed reform and will continue to do so ahead of the consultation closing next month.
