Vatican: Electric Cars Too Slow, Hybrid Popemobile on Way
Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield June 20, 2011 Comment Now!
Last December we told you that the His Holiness The Pope was keen on swapping his large gas-guzzling Mercedes SUV 'popemobile' for a suitable electric car.
Now Vatican officials have confirmed the details of Pope Benedict XVI's latest ride: a custom-made M-Class plug-in hybrid based on the technology found inside the Mercedes Vision S500 plug-in hybrid shown at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Why not a pure electric-vehicle, as the Vatican hinted last year?
Papal safety. In short, the Vatican doesn't think an all-electric popemobile could accelerate fast enough to get His Holiness out of trouble in an emergency.
Ever since Turkish sniper Mehmet Ali AÄŸca attempted to assassinate Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Square, Vatican City on May 13, 1981, the Vatican has done everything it can to keep the Pope safe when he is being transported.
Cadillac Presidential Limo
Much like The Beast - the U.S. President's heavily armored limousine - the popemobile is a highly sophisticated, heavily armored car, much heavier than the M-Class Mercedes it is based on.
It's the extra armor, bullet-proof glass and emergency equipment that gives the popemobile its extra weight. More weight equals higher energy consumption.
However, we do have to disagree with the Vatican on its assessment of an all-electric popemobile.
While it would obviously require a much larger battery pack than those normally found in production electric cars, we think it would be entirely possible to engineer an all-electric armored car with four-wheel electric drive, complete with enough torque to accelerate His Holiness away from an incident quickly and safely.
Mercedes-Benz delivers a new Popemobile
We think the real reason for a plug-in hybrid rather than pure electric popemobile lies not with the Vatican, but Mercedes, the automaker of choice for recent Papal vehicles.
The Vatican does not pay for vehicles, which means Mercedes has to foot the bill for any vehicle it develops for the Pope. Given that, we think Mercedes is reluctant to spend money developing a drivetrain which simply won't be used in any other vehicles.
2009 Mercedes-Benz Vision S500 Plug-In Hybrid Concept
With a possible production version of an S-Class plug-in hybrid in the works, making the popemobile a plug-in hybrid is a no-brainer.
Neither the Vatican nor Mercedes has given any more details on the popemobile for security reasons, but have hinted that His Holiness will be able to travel around 16 miles in all-electric mode.
We're not sure if that's at regular road speeds or the walking-pace used at official engagements, but with the extra weight the popemobile certainly won't be getting anywhere near the promised 85 mpge of the 2009 S-Class concept.

Ginnifer Goodwin excited on pregnancy after wedding Josh Dallas
Richa Wed Jun, 2016
Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas is getting their home prepared for the entry of their second youngster.
On Friday Goodwin and her better half, Josh Dallas decided to grab a couple of things in Beverly Hills. The 37-year-old on-screen character looked bohemian chic in a summery white dress, tights, and dark boots as she strolled with her significant other on her arm. Josh and Ginnifer got married in 2014 in the wake of a meeting on the arrangement of Once Upon A Time, which they both star in.
The couple wedded in April 2014 and after one month welcomed their first child Oliver. They have also confirmed that they're expecting their second youngster in November 2015. Ginnifer uncovered to E! News amid the debut for Zootopia that she and Josh were expecting a second child.
The 35-year-age Once Upon A Time on-screen character had that pregnancy and love bird gleam as she influenced to Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday to discuss both the favored occasions in her life.
Ginnifer wore a freely fitting, dark dress that was her wedding dress with puffed short sleeves that did little to disguise her condition that she might be conceiving baby anytime soon.
This 'Snow White' revealed insights about her April 11 wedding to co-star Josh and their infant in transit whom she married with after their together work in movies. 'We wrapped Once Upon A Time two weeks prior and two or after three days I was marry in Venice, California and wedded Prince Charming,' Ginnifer spouted to Kimmel.
She seems happy with her husband much and pretty excited to welcome the baby. She is hoping her back entry after the delivery in movies reacts with the same height of success.

Thanks to a brave 14-year-old Maine girl leading the way of a protest against altered photos in Seventeen Magazine, the company has now made a commitment to stop. Ann Shoket, top editor of Seventeen Magazine, has made promises to leave body shapes as-is, and only using Photoshop for out-of-place hair, wrinkles in the clothing, and the occasional zit. Shoket's promises have been made known under the "Body Peace Treaty," which also binds the company to always use healthy models despite the size of clothing.
This is a great step toward revamping the self-image thinking of teenagers, mostly concerning that of young girls, everywhere. In addition to the promises made by Ann Shoket, she and her staff have announced that if there are any images manipulated in Photoshop, that they will post the before and after images on the Seventeen Magazine's Tumblr page to ensure the transparency of their commitments.
Since last Tuesday, two of Bluhm's blogging partners from SPARK, a dedicated group of girls and women making the endless effort to end sexualization of girls in the media, have collected 15,000 signatures while targeting Teen Vogue in hopes they will make the same claims.
Julia Bluhm has taken a big leap of faith in changing the way that young girls are portrayed to their fellow teenagers through media. The WC News crew wishes her "good luck" and looks forward to reporting further accomplishments with other media agencies.


Hannah Arendt was a Jew born in Germany in the early 20th century, and she studied with some of the greatest German minds of her day – Martin Heidegger and Karl Jaspers among them. After the rise of the Nazis, she emigrated to America, where she wrote some of the most searching, hard-hitting reflections on the agonizing issues of the day – totalitarianism in both Nazi and Stalinist garb; Zionism and the legacy of the holocaust; federally-mandated school desegregation and civil rights in the United States; and the nature of evil.
Edited by Dr. Peter Baehr, Sociology, The Portable Hannah Arendt offers substantial excerpts from the three works that ensured her international and enduring stature: The Origins of Totalitarianism, The Human Condition and Eichmann in Jerusalem.
Additionally, this volume, part of the Viking Portable Library series, includes several other provocative essays, as well as her correspondence with other influential figures of the time, including Jaspers, Eric Voegelin and Mary McCarthy.
In his preface, Dr. Baehr calls Arendt "a deeply paradoxical figure." She campaigned vigourously for Zionism in the 1930s and '40s, yet opposed the formation of a unitary Israeli state.
"She was among the greatest women political thinkers of the 20th century, yet one strikingly at odds with academic feminism," writes Dr. Baehr.
These pieces form an eloquent testament to a fearless thinker who argued for justice and hope in the middle of the 20th century.
Peter Baehr's previous book, Caesar and the Fading of the Roman World, was designated an Outstanding Academic Book of 1998 by Choice, the journal of the American Librarians' Association.
There was a time when the history of the sea was as important as the land for defining a country's social and cultural identity. Edited by Dr. Rainer K. Baehre of the historical studies program at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College in Corner Brook, Outrageous Seas is about that time, and about that harrowing, almost mythic, experience of shipwreck, near-shipwreck, and survival in the waters off Newfoundland.
Travellers from many walks of life – explorers and missionaries, traders, fishers and mariners, Native peoples, aristocrats and immigrants – have left rare and fascinating first-hand accounts of such disasters. Their narratives span four centuries and touch many historical sub-themes such as the appeal of religion in times of crisis, gender roles, and the ocean as workplace.
Dr. Baehre said these stories are useful to scholars, but only in a limited fashion. However, these narratives are an excellent and important component of the study of shipwreck in Newfoundland waters.
Apart from its obvious scholarly appeal, this collection evokes psychic responses to calamity and brushes with death, perhaps the most universal experience of all.
Alfred Valdmanis is best known in Canada for his infamous role in Premier Joey Smallwood's scheme to industrialize Newfoundland and Labrador. A Latvian immigrant, he was appointed director general of economic development in 1950 with the understanding that through his connections to Europe he could entice German and Baltic industrialists to the isolated, rural island.
His influence was brought to an abrupt end when, in 1954, he was charged with defrauding the government. The media, latching on to his murky past and his possible affiliations with war criminals, made him the scapegoat of Newfoundland's problems, painting him as part comedian, part sinister villain.
Dr. Gerhard Bassler, History, has written the definitive examination of Valdmanis. Dr. Modris Eksteins, a history professor at the University of Toronto, called the book "a most unusual project on a most unusual life.
Valdmanis's trouble in Newfoundland was not the first time his name was connected with controversial issues. Between 1938, at age 29, and his ironic downfall in the safe haven of Canada, he was finance minister in pre-war Latvia, government official during the Soviet invasion, shrewd collaborator under the Nazi occupation, then friend to the Allies, a spokesman for Latvian POWs and displaced persons, and adviser to the government of Canada.
In this first serious biography of Alfred Valdmanis, Dr. Bassler recasts the story of this political manipulator and chameleon in new terms: the often tragic consequences of the will to survive.
In Functional Properties of Proteins and Lipids, 17 chapters look at the new area of food functionality, which explores the biological as well as food functions of proteins as enzymes, hormones, transmitters, etc. Some areas of the field have developed rapidly, while others — such as common methods and conditions for determining functionality — have lagged behind. This book brings the subject up to date, based on current research of leading scientists in Canada, Mexico, the United States and their associates around the world. The book's final section, which contains three chapters on fat and oil functionality, has information not found in most books on functionality. Dr. Shahidi explained that the feeling we get in the mouth from fats and oils, and their incorporation of flavour constituents, are very important in food selection — for example, the 'marbling' of a prime rib steak over that of a less quality one. Dr. Shahidi's own contribution to this book is a chapter on the effect of acylation on flax protein functionality.
In Quality Attributes of Muscle Foods, Dr. Shahidi has worked with Dr. Chi-Tang Ho, State University of New Jersey, and Dr. Youling L. Xiong, University of Kentucky, to produce a 28-chapter monograph examining the production of high-quality, wholesome protein from meat and seafood. In one chapter Dr. Shahidi, along with Dr. Ronald Pegg, University of Saskatchewan, look at the quality attributes of muscle foods as affected by nitrite and nitrite-free curing.
With Dr. Ho, Dr. Shahidi edited Flavor Chemistry of Ethnic Foods and Phytochemicals and Phytopharmaceuticals, monographs which include contributions from researchers around the world. Dr. Shahidi contributed to two chapters of Flavor Chemistry of Ethnic Foods, including the overview and a study of the flavour and chemistry of uncured and cured meat of harp seal. Overall, the book summarizes the current status of knowledge in this fragmented area.
Dr. Shahidi said that before processing, foods such as meat or coffee have little flavour; it is the heat processing that generates the flavour. We perceive flavour not only through taste but also through aroma — for example, without aroma, an onion and an apple would taste the same.
In Phytochemicals and Phytopharmaceuticals, the two editors have gathered papers related to treating, managing or possibly curing different diseases. Dr. Shahidi said there are bioactive components from plant and animal tissues that have an effect against the occurrence of certain diseases or treatments. As the market for supplements and nutraceuticals has expanded, the interest of scientists and the public in phytochemicals and phytopharmaceuticals has also increased.
Dr. Shahidi's own contribution to this monograph of 37 chapters is a study, with three collaborators, of the antioxidants of evening primrose. Other papers look at antioxidants in rosemary leaves, betel leaves, and the highbush blueberry. Garlic, flaxseed, fruits and vegetables, tea, and the potato are also among the foods studied.
In recent years, Canadians have become increasingly aware of the dynamic and changing nature of fishery systems, which in-clude not only the fish and their environment, but also people and their associated social and economic institutions and communities.
As a result of the challenges created by our constantly changing fisheries, the Canadian Global Change Program of the Royal Society of Canada formed an interdisciplinary Fisheries Panel of nine people in 1996.
The panel's mandate was to write an authoritative and comprehensive review of the implications of physical, biological, economic, and sociopolitical changes for Canadian marine fisheries and to present options for how to deal with those changes.
Dr. Brad de Young, Physics, was the co-chair of the panel. Other panelists and co-authors were Randall M. Peterman, A. Rod Dobell, Evelyn Pinkerton, Yvan Breton, Anthony T. Charles, Michael J. Fogarty, Gordon R. Munro, and Christopher Taggart.
This report outlines a vision for future sustainable marine fisheries for Canada and reviews the state of Canadian marine fishery systems.
It also examines the complexities and major processes of change and variability in fishery systems, which lead to uncertainties and create risks, i.e., biological risks for fish populations, economic risks for those in industry, and social and economic risks for people in coastal communities who rely on renewable aquatic resources.
These risks have important implications not only for how management agencies should operate, but also for how industry, fishermen, and coastal fishing-dependent communities should plan and act.
The last part of the report therefore emphasizes the features of an effective social response to the challenge of managing these risks: stewardship and conservation, participation and cooperation, and compliance and accountability.

El ferrocarril del Urola fue una línea de ferrocarril de vía estrecha que unía las localidades vascas de Zumárraga y Zumaya en la provincia de Guipúzcoa, País Vasco (España), por el valle del río Urola. Fue uno de los primeros ferrocarriles eléctricos de España, el primero en utilizar corriente continua a 1.500V, contó con los primeros coches realizados en metal y fue la última línea de ferrocarril que se construyó en Euskadi hasta las inversiones en el tramo vasco del tren de alta velocidad, la conocida como "Y Vasca".

El ferrocarril se inauguró el 22 de febrero de 1926 por Alfonso XIII y su explotación cesó en el otoño de 1986 para cerrar definitivamente el 2 de febrero de 1988, siendo entonces desmanteladas las vías y catenaria, que se volvieron a instalar en un tramo de 10 km para dar servicio al tren de vapor del Museo Vasco del Ferrocarril. Sus cocheras y talleres pasaron a ser la sede de dicho museo, que rehízo 5 km del trazado, entre Azpeitia y Lasao, sin electrificar para dar paseos con el material rodante del museo.

Trazado
A través del ferrocarril de Urola se unía la localidad de Zumárraga, que era un nudo ferroviario importante al coincidir allí, en un mismo punto, en la llamada Plaza de las estaciones, tres líneas ferroviarias: la del ferrocarril del Norte, línea de gran importancia por ser la que unía, por Irún, Madrid con París, a la postre una de las principales líneas de RENFE; la línea de vía estrecha de los Ferrocarriles Vascongados que enlazaba con Vergara y de allí con Vitoria y Éibar y allí con la línea de los Vascongados Bilbao - San Sebastián, y la línea del Ferrocarril del Urola que enlazaba con Zumaya, su puerto, y la línea de vía estrecha de los Vascongados que une Bilbao con San Sebastián.

El tren del Urola, que serpenteaba por las riberas del río, tenía un recorrido de 34,4 km de longitud para el que se habían construido 29 túneles y 20 puentes. La duración del viaje era de unos 70 minutos. Contaba con 15 estaciones y apeaderos, cuyos edificios eran diferentes en cada localidad y fueron diseñados por el arquitecto Ramón Cortázar en el estilo del país. Estas son:

 Zumárraga (conexión con Ferrocarril del Norte y Ferrocarril del Deba). En la actualidad se conserva el edificio.
 Villarreal de Urrechua. En la actualidad se emplea como local juvenil.
 Aguiñeta
 Aizpurucho. En la actualidad se encuentra en estado de abandono.
 Olozaga. En la actualidad un agricultor lo utiliza como cobertizo.
 Azcoitia. En la actualidad acoge la biblioteca municipal de la localidad. Además, se ha ampliado el edificio mediante un añadido recubierto de traviesas de ferrocarril.
 Loyola. En la actualidad el ayuntamiento de Azpeitia lo emplea como almacén.
 Azpeitia, donde estaban las cocheras y talleres. En la actualidad acoge el Museo Vasco del Ferrocarril.
 Lasao. En la actualidad se encuentra restaurada y es una de las paradas de la línea de tren de vapor del Museo Vasco del Ferrocarril. El edificio carece de uso específico.
 Balneario de Cestona. En la actualidad se encuentra en estado de abandono.
 Cestona. En la actualidad se conserva el edificio.
 Iraeta. En la actualidad como casa okupa (ocupada por un grupo de jóvenes).
 Arrona. En la actualidad como casa okupa (ocupada por un grupo de jóvenes).
 Zumaya (conexión con la línea de tren San Sebastián - Bilbao). Hoy en día acoge la estación de Eusko Trenbide Sarea - Red Ferroviaria Vasca de la villa del mismo nombre.
 Zumaya puerto. Hasta 2008 fue el ambulatorio de Zumaya.

Parque de material rodante
El parque de material rodante con el que contaba el Urola se mantuvo sin variaciones relevantes desde su inauguración en 1926 hasta su cierre definitivo en 1988. El que fue el primer ferrocarril eléctrico de España pasó a ser museo después de su cierre, y sus locomotoras y coches pasaron de transportar a pasajeros a ser expuestos como piezas de colección en los mismos talleres y cocheras que durante más de 70 años sirvieron para su mantenimiento.

Este ferrocarril contó con vehículos de caja de madera y metálicas, algunos de construcción nacional, realizados por la empresa guipuzcoana CAF y que fueron los primeros que se construyeron en España con caja enteramente metálica.

Inventario de material

 Siete automotores cuya parte eléctrica construida por Siemens Schucker Werk (SSW) contaban con 4 motores de 75 CV cada uno, con un total de 300CV  su carrocería de madera fue diseñado por Carde y Escoriaza. Tenían capacidad para 30 pasajeros sentados. Este material recibía la denominación de Mª1 a Mª7. El Mª3 sufrió una modificación en CAF en la que se le dotó de carrocería metálica después de un accidente. El automor Mª7 sufrió un incendio y no se sustituyó. Contando únicamente con 6 automotores el resto de la vida del ferrocarril.

 Tres automotores furgones, cuya parte eléctrica corrió también a cargo de Siemens Schuckert Werk (SSW) destinados al transporte de mercancías, con 4 motores de 75CV, lo único que variaba de los automotores de viajeros era la relación de engranajes, con capacidad de carga de 15 Tm. Tenían carrocería de madera diseñados por Carde y Escoriaza y fueron recarrozados, dos a carrocería metálica por CAF, el Mm1 en 1954 y el Mm3 en 1957 y el otro, el Mm2, en madera en 1960. Se denominaron Mm1 a Mm3.

 Siete vagones de pasajeros serie A de caja metálica. Fueron construidos por la CAF y constaban de dos departamentos de 18 asientos cada uno de ellos; uno era de clase salón (con asientos tapizados) y el otro de clase única (con asientos de madera) a los que se añadía un servicio y un pequeño furgón. Los bogies eran de tipo Pennsylvania.

 Siete vagones de pasajeros serie B de caja metálica. Fueron construidos por la CAF y contaban con un único departamento de 48 asientos de madera. Los bogies eran de tipo Pennsylvania.

 Siete vagones de pasajeros serie C con caja de madera. Fueron construidos por la CAF y contaban con un único departamento de 48 plazas en asientos de madera y balconcillos en los extremos. Estaban construidos sobre bogies tipo Diamond. Se denominaban C1 a C7. Los vagones C6 y C7 fueron modificados en 1933 reduciendo el departamento a la mitad, dejando sólo 24 asientos y formando con el resto un furgón. En 1961 se desguazó el coche C6, en el 64 el C7, en 1976; los coches C1 y C5 y el C3 en 1990. Los otros dos, C2 y C4, pasaron a formar parte de la colección del Museo Vasco del Ferrocarril.

 Dos vagones mixtos con furgón y 48 plazas. Construidos en Azpeitia después de 1965 aprovechando restos del ferrocarril del Bidasoa. Se denominaron C6 y C7 la misma matriculación de los de madera de balconcillos desguazados, ya que estos coches procedentes del Bidasoa estaban dadas de baja y usando la picaresca para poder usarlos en explotación , se hizo un "trueque" de las matriculaciones.

 Ochenta y un vagones de mercancías que fueron fabricados por la Sociedad Talleres de Miravalles.

Los trabajadores
Cuando el 22 de febrero de 1926 el rey Alfonso XIII inauguró el ferrocarril del Urola, éste contaba con una plantilla de 130 trabajadores que habían sido seleccionados el año anterior. Para noviembre de 1925 ya se había hecho la selección correspondiente después que la Diputación de Guipúzcoa hubiera tomado la decisión de apostar por la propuesta más económica que le había planteado el Consejo de Administración del Ferrocarril del Urola. Una plantilla reducida, que salía un 16,10% más barata que la opción de la amplia, pero obligaba a un menor servicio. La propuesta fue hecha por el Consejo de Administración en febrero y la Diputación tomó la decisión en septiembre. El 1 de enero ya estaba contratada la totalidad de la plantilla.

El aumento del servicio llevó a la ampliación de la plantilla. La primera se produjo en 1927, cuando ya había 143 trabajadores en nómina que para 1933 pasaron a ser 164. A comienzos de la guerra civil, en 1936, los gastos de nómina representaban el 70% de los gastos totales de la compañía. Pasada la guerra, en 1940 se abrió un expediente de depuración que redujo la plantilla a 100 empleados. Ocho años más tarde llegó a 163 trabajadores y en 1982 tenía solo 91. La plantilla de trabajadores siempre ha ido unida al servicio que el ferrocarril prestaba.

Los gastos de personal, que en 1933 eran del 70%, pasaron a ser del 81% en 1970. Representaban el mayor gasto de la explotación, ya que las inversiones fueron siempre muy reducidas.

Condiciones laborales

Las condiciones laborales de los operarios del Ferrocarril del Urola estaban reguladas por el Reglamento General de 1925, que se mantuvo vigente hasta 1930. En la negociación de 1931 se lograron modificar estas condiciones con avances significativos en cuatro puntos:
 Compatibilidad de los derechos pasivos con el Régimen Obligatorio del Retiro Obrero.
 Aumentos salariales en la misma forma que los empleados provinciales.
 Implantación del descanso quincenal para la toda la plantilla (se inició el 1 de junio de 1930).
 La jornada laboral de 8 horas.

En la posguerra se vieron modificadas las condiciones laborales por las leyes, entre ellas la Ley de 13 de julio de 1940 que permite el descanso entre semana en vez del dominical. El Consejo de Administración elaboró un nuevo reglamente en 1940, en el que se regulan las concesiones de pensiones de retiro, viudedad y orfandad, así como el cobro del 90% en caso de baja por incapacidad laboral transitoria. Son destacables en las mejoras que se dieron en esos años las siguientes:
 Homologación en cuanto al seguro de enfermedad con el de los trabajadores de la Diputación.
 Facilitación de vivienda en alquiler a los trabajadores.
 Instauración de un centro de formación del personal.

En 1971 se publicó una orden ministerial con una nueva reglamentación que afectaba a todos los empleados de todos los ferrocarriles de uso público. Esta nueva reglamentación tocaba, mejorándolos, cinco puntos:
 Nueva escala salarial con retribuciones mínimas por encina de los que venían teniendo en el Urola.
 Cambia los quinquenios por cuatrienios del 4%.
 21 días de vacaciones.
 Incremento de dietas.

La aplicación de este nuevo reglamento supuso un aumento significativo del gasto de personal para el ferrocarril.

Las condiciones de trabajo siempre estuvieron marcadas por el escaso resultado económico de la empresa y fueron peores que las de los trabajadores de la compañía hermana Ferrocarriles Vascongados.

Los trabajadores del Ferrocarril del Urola no fueron nunca funcionarios de la Diputación de Guipúzcoa, aun cuando la compañía ferroviaria era pública. Aun así el grado de homologación alcanzado con los trabajadores forales fue muy elevado.

La escala salarial que se marcó en las primeras ordenanzas de 1925 tomaba como base el salario de los camineros. Se reconocen los quinquenios y pronto, a los seis años de la inauguración, los trienios.

En 1931 una Real Orden estatal establece unos niveles mínimos de retribución que, junto con los acuerdos con la Diputación, hace que aparezcan grandes diferencias en el sueldo de los diferentes empleados, que dieron lugar a un malestar que se manifestaba con peticiones de aumento salarial que fueron atendidas por la Diputación, la cual optó por otorgar al Urola fondos necesarios para satisfacer dichas demandas. Hasta la publicación en 1946 de la Reglamentación Laboral General de Ferrocarriles se les aplicaron las mismas condiciones que a los trabajadores del ente foral. Después de dicha publicación se siguió manteniendo, por medio de diversos conceptos, los niveles salariales equiparados con los trabajadores de la Diputación.

Con el nuevo ordenamiento salarial de 1969 (surgido a raíz de la congelación salarial dictada por el gobierno) quedan absorbidos los pluses de asistencia y voluntario en el sueldo y se realiza una nueva escala salarial más justa en la que se mejora a las dos categorías más bajas de la escala salarial.

La crisis de los años 80 del  fueron un freno para los incrementos salariales. Cuando se cerró el ferrocarril, ninguna de las empresas consultoras que elaboraron planes de viabilidad y aconsejaron el cierre de las línea achacó a los gastos de personal, que en aquellos momentos suponían el 80% del presupuesto, la situación de quiebra de la misma.

Historia

En diciembre de 1883 los vecinos del valle de río Urola vislumbraban la necesidad de dotarse de un sistema de comunicaciones moderno, cómodo y rápido. El ferrocarril era la solución a los tortuosos caminos que recorrían las caballerizas y las carretas de bueyes. Después de varios intentos de constitución de una empresa privada que realizara y explotara la línea, fue la Diputación de Guipúzcoa la que, sobre la base de la concesión obtenida en 1920, materializaría el proyecto.

El 22 de febrero de 1926, el rey Alfonso XIII inauguró el primer ferrocarril de tracción eléctrica español que estaba llamado a agilizar el progreso del valle guipuzcoano y del Goierri. La línea del ferrocarril del Urola estaba pensada para el servicio de pasajeros y de mercancías y unía el corazón de Guipúzcoa con el puerto de Zumaya. En los primeros años de su existencia llegó a transportar más de 370.000 viajeros anuales y, aun cediendo el predominio del transporte a la empresa de autobuses "La Guipuzcoana", llegaría a dar servicio a más de 996.000 pasajeros en el año 1962, superando los 800.000 en el periodo 1953 - 1968. Es destacable que en los últimos años de su explotación la utilización se mantuviera en torno a los 400.000 pasajeros anuales.

El transporte de mercancías se mantuvo fijo en torno a las 55.000 Tm anuales hasta el año 1955, que comenzó a bajar, parando en los últimos años en las 2.000 Tm. Este descenso fue debido al aumento del transporte por carretera y al abandono de esa línea de negocio por las empresas destinadas a su explotación.

Los altibajos en el pasaje, debidos a las costumbres y circunstancias históricas, fueron reflejados en su plantilla. De los 130 empleados que inauguraron la línea, sólo quedaban 91 en 1982, habiendo pasado por un pico de 164 en 1933.

Después de la Guerra Civil, el transporte por carretera fue mucho más competente, lo cual obligó al ferrocarril a buscar la ampliación y mejora del servicio. Fue entonces cuando, con la colaboración de Ferrocarriles Vascongados, se creó el servicio directo entre Zumárraga y San Sebastián, conocido popularmente como el talguillo. Este servicio estuvo activo entre 1951 y 1967.

En 1976 la Diputación de Guipúzcoa propuso el traspaso de la línea de ferrocarril a la empresa estatal de ferrocarriles de vía estrecha FEVE, propuesta que no llegó a buen fin. Fue en 1985 cuando, en el marco de la transferencia de la competencia de ferrocarriles de vía estrecha al Gobierno vasco, éste se hizo cargo del ferrocarril del Urola, que se integra en la empresa pública Eusko Trenbideak.

El cierre
En diciembre de 1985 el Gobierno Vasco publicaba el "Informe Sener" en el que se marcaban las diferentes alternativas respecto al ferrocarril del Urola:

 Reponer la superestructura, instalaciones y material móvil, lo que supondría una inversión de 6611133,15€.
 Integrar el ferrocarril del Urola en la línea San Sebastián-Bilbao, rectificando el trazado para conseguir 60 minutos de trayecto entre Azcoitia y San Sebastián y 30 minutos entre Zarauz y San Sebastián, eliminando las paradas menos utilizadas. Supondría un incremento de 1352227,23€ más.
 Rectificar el trazado y renovar el material móvil, con un coste similar a la primera opción.
 Cierre total y sustitución por autobuses. La opción más económica, con sólo 985659,85€ de gasto.

El informe fue presentado en una época en la que el Gobierno Vasco incluso se planteaba dejar de invertir en la actual línea San Sebastián-Bilbao (se presentó un proyecto de reforma valorado en algo más de 450 millones de euros consistente en sustituir la vía estrecha por ancho métrico para reducir a la mitad el tiempo de viaje entre Bilbao y Hendaya). En abril de 1986, el entonces Diputado General de Guipúzcoa, Imanol Murua, apoyándose en el citado informe Sener, defendió la viabilidad del ferrocarril con las siguientes palabras: Hay que valorar la situación social planteada y los servicios que presta, y el propio estudio de Sener sobre la viabilidad del ferrocarril, una vez hechas las inversiones oportunas, indica que el tramo Azcoitia-Zumaya puede ser rentable.

En 1986 el Gobierno Vasco suspendió el servicio argumentando el remozamiento de las instalaciones, vías y material rodante (que no habían sufrido inversión alguna significativa desde su inauguración). Entre otros objetivos, esta renovación tenía como objetivo eliminar el transbordo en Zumaya, que hacía perder mucho tiempo. Además, el Gobierno Vasco se compromete a presentar un estudio de viabilidad en el plazo de un año. En general, las instituciones públicas se vanagloriaron de primar el interés social sobre la rentabilidad económica y parecieron concienciarse de la necesidad de renovar la infraestructura para ganar en competitividad (si en 1948 el Ferrocarril del Urola transportó a 840000 viajeros, en 1984 sólo 550000 eligieron este medio para moverse por el valle).

La suspensión del servicio se produjo sin fecha fija de reanudación del servicio y como sustitución se implantó una línea de autobuses. Los últimos trenes que circularon partieron el 12 de julio de 1986 de Azpeitia con dirección Zumaya a las 20:09 y de Azpeitia a Azcoitia a las 21:10.

Poco más de un año después, a mediados de noviembre de 1987, cuando apenas se habían efectuado algunas reformas menores, como la adecuación de algunos andenes, el Gobierno Vasco dio marcha atrás en su decisión de reformar el ferrocarril y encargó un nuevo estudio de viabilidad, si bien aún no se hablaba abiertamente del cierre de la línea. Las obras se habían ralentizado desde la disolución del Parlamento Vasco y por la tardanza en formarse un nuevo gobierno, y permanecían prácticamente paralizadas desde el mes de julio.

Así, y con la línea en estado de abandono, se producen constantes destrozos en las instalaciones del tren y saqueos en los talleres y cocheras. En este sentido, la Asociación de Amigos del Ferrocarril de Guipúzcoa alertó ante la posibilidad de que las unidades móviles se desguazasen, ya que eran auténticas piezas de museo que deben ser guardadas y conservarse como parte importante de nuestra historia. Hoy en día por suerte se conservan dos. Uno de pasajeros y otro de mercancías.

En diciembre de 1987 el futuro del ferrocarril era incierto:

 El Gobierno Vasco solicitó un estudio complementario al de Sener.
 La inexistencia de partida presupuestaria para la reforma del ferrocarril acarreaba un retraso de como mínimo otro año más.
 Las reformar realizadas hasta la fecha habían supuesto un desembolso de 1,8 millones de euros.

A inicios de 1988 se produjeron numerosas manifestaciones de apoyo al ferrocarril por parte de diversos colectivos. Los alcaldes de la zona convocaron una manifestación en Zumárraga, a la que acudieron 7000 personas, que caminaron desde la estación de Urretxu hasta la de Zumárraga. La manifestación fue convocada para denunciar el incumplimiento por parte del Gobierno Vasco del estudio de viabilidad de finales de 1987. El entonces consejero de Transportes y Obras Públicas, Enrique Antolín calificó a los asistentes de "agitadores" y de "politizar el tema". El colectivo de jubilados del Urola, con 9000 miembros inscritos en los centros para la tercera edad del valle, consideraron el ferrocarril del Urola "un medio de transporte absolutamente necesario e insustituible para una cuenca de 36 km de longitud que ofrece una orografía sinuosa y accidentada".

En enero de 1988 los alcaldes del valle del Urola firmaron conjuntamente el siguiente documento en defensa del ferrocarril:

El documento fue firmado por los alcaldes de Azpeitia, Azcoitia, Cestona, Villarreal de Urrechua, Zumárraga y Zumaya (este último no asistió).

El 2 de febrero de 1988 se decretó el cierre definitivo de esta línea ferroviaria después de 75 años de servicio. Enrique Antolín esgrimió los siguientes argumentos para defender la decisión del Gobierno Vasco:

 La comarca tiene muy pocos habitantes.
 Existe muy poca relación con la capital de la provincia, San Sebastián.
 Es necesario mejorar el trazado.
 El ferrocarril de entonces no es competitivo con respecto a la carretera.
 La reducción de paradas para mejorar los tiempos del tren no redundaría en un mejor servicio a los vecinos.

Los alcaldes reaccionaron pidiendo la paralización de la decisión de sustituir el tren por autobuses, a lo que el Gobierno Vasco respondió con el ofrecimiento de una partida de 3 millones de euros para mejorar las carreteras del valle del Urola, así como un reforzamiento de las líneas de autobuses que unían Zumárraga con San Sebastián pasando por Zumaya.

Después del cierre
Después del cierre de la línea se llevó a cabo el desmantelamiento de las vías, la catenaria y los puentes de la línea, así como la creación en los talleres y cocheras de Azpeitia del Museo Vasco del Ferrocarril. Los años de abandono -de 1986 a 1988- deterioraron gravemente las instalaciones de los talleres, así como de la central de transformación eléctrica. Así y todo, el establecimiento del Museo no requirió grandes inversiones, ya que el valor histórico de las instalaciones existentes, el hecho de que fueran las primeras de tracción eléctrica y de que fuera la última línea ferroviaria construida en el País Vasco en mucho tiempo (hasta las inversiones de principios de  en el metro de Bilbao y la Y vasca del trazado del tren de alta velocidad) cerraban un capítulo muy importante en la historia de la comunicaciones vascas, en el cual pocos valles escaparon a tener su propio tren, actuaron de fondo de colección del museo.

Con el objeto de establecer actuaciones lúdicas con referencia al ferrocarril y poder organizar paseos en trenes históricos de vapor, se volvieron a tender 5 km de vías, sin electrificar, entre Azpeitia y Lasao. Se han reconvertido algunos tramos del trazado ferroviario en vía verde, como el comprendido entre Azcoitia y Villareal de Urrechua.

En 2007 el Departamento de Transportes del Gobierno vasco y EuskoTren anuncian que en el programa de inversiones de EuskoTren XXI se contempla la reapertura de al menos un tramo de la línea del Urola, en especial para el transporte de mercancías (chatarra a las acerías de Azpeitia), llegando a anunciar la Diputación de Guipúzcoa el año 2018 como año de la entrada en servicio de dicha reapertura.

At this year's Long Island Music Hall of Fame GALA, which was held at The Space at Westbury, Chuck D and hip-hop DJ Chuck Chillout served as presenters, and they inducted the hip-hop group EPMD.
On his connection to Long Island, Chuck D said, "I grew up in Roosevelt on Long Island, and I went to high school not too far from here. My track team had to run around Eisenhower Park two times and practice. I went to Adelphi University and I graduated in 1984. I have Long Island all in my bones."
Chuck D continued, "I am part of a group that comes out of Roosevelt, Long Island, named Public Enemy, and they are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I am here tonight to induct Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith of EPMD."
On the key to longevity in the music business, Chuck D praised EPMD for being very consistent. "They can do the same thing for 50 years. They have the formula," he said. "I think collectives and working with people, and understanding how everybody helps each other. Every little job counts and every little area of the business counts. Having a great concern for everybody's area is what longevity is about. You need to be careful of the feet you step on because it might be attached to the behind that you have to kiss," he explained.
His advice for aspiring musicians is to "try and make a video for every song that you do." "Try to make as many albums as you can by yourself and without any funding," he said.

Human in vitro fertilization (IVF) has been around for 40 years and yet we still do not fully understand how to ensure the generation of healthy embryos and to prevent unwanted genetic or epigenetic changes that may arise during in vitro culture. Once the embryo is transferred to the uterus to continue gestation, early implantation and the initial phases of embryogenesis and placenta formation are hidden from easy access for research. Errors in early development may lead to implantation problems, fetal defects, and placental insufficiencies, resulting in early pregnancy loss. Studying mice has provided clues about the major genetic and epigenetic events of early embryo development but, as is becoming increasingly evident, there are morphological and genetic differences between mice and humans that make cross-species comparisons problematic (1). Recent experimental approaches working directly with human embryos, or with embryo-derived stem cells and nonhuman primate embryos, have opened new avenues for studying the development of early human embryos.

On a mission far from the camp, the poor Scottish crusader Sir Kenneth, or the Knight of the Leopard, comes across a Saracen emir with whom, after inconclusive combat, he strikes up a friendship. The Talisman is Sir Walter Scott's tale of the Crusades, a tale of chivalry, of violence, of virtue, romance, and deceit.

Deportation threat to UK terror victim
LondonThe West Australian
Mon, 3 September 2012 8:11PM
A former Australian academic injured in the London terrorist bombings in 2005 fears he might be deported from Britain.
John Tulloch, who now lives in South Wales, once held a British passport and has spent most of his life living and working in Britain.
But now semi-retired, the India-born academic, whose parents were British, said he has been told he is no longer entitled to remain in Britain indefinitely.
But Professor Tulloch, who only recently discovered he had a lesser form of British nationality known as "British subject without citizenship", has described the situation as bizarre.
"My wife has a British passport, my sons both have British passports, my brother - who was born in India - has a full British passport but not me," he said.
Professor Tulloch was one of hundreds injured in the July 7, 2005 blasts when four suicide bombers attacked central London, killing 52 people.
Shards of shrapnel were embedded in his face and he has suffered symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.
Professor Tulloch said the uncertainty over remaining in Britain was worse for him than the terrorist attack because he had been "lucky" on that day.
He went to school in Bournemouth before attending Cambridge University and later gaining further qualifications at Sussex University.
He then applied for academic jobs at universities in Britain, but landed and took up a job at the University of NSW in Sydney. "The issue that caused this is because I took out Australian citizenship in 1983," Professor Tulloch said.
Later using his Australian passport with a work permit, Professor Tulloch held senior roles at Brunel University in London and the journalism school at Cardiff University, among others. <div class="endnote">

FM makes proposals to implement results from FOCAC Beijing Summit
Updated: Jan 8,2019 6:51 AM Xinhua
DAKAR — State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi made six proposals on how to implement results from the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) Beijing Summit in Senegal capital city of Dakar on Jan 6.
At a joint press conference following his meeting with Senegalese Foreign Minister Sidiki Kaba, Wang said China-Africa cooperation stands out with its pragmatism and effectiveness, which are also the unique advantage of the FOCAC. Right after the summit, the China-side Follow-up Action Committee set in motion to make plans, assign missions, draw roadmaps and list priorities with different African countries according to their respective situations.
China would like to coordinate closely with the FOCAC co-chair Senegal, and promote the efforts in the following six aspects, according to Wang.
The first is to build a closer community of shared future for China and Africa, Wang said, citing the rising of unilateralism and hegemony, which impacts the international order and multilateral rules, as a big challenge to the future of developing countries.
Wang said China, the largest developing country, and Africa, a continent where most of the countries are developing ones, have never been more aware of a shared future, and need to jointly overcome the obstacles that restrict our development and to safeguard the rightful interests of China, Africa, as well as that of other developing countries.
Secondly, we need to promote the integration of the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the African Union's socio-economic development strategy Agenda 2063, Wang said. Including Senegal, up to 37 African countries have signed documents on BRI cooperation with China, Wang said, adding that China is willing to work with Africa to explore more opportunities in the integration and make more fruits in the joint construction of Belt and Road.
Applying the FOCAC results to different African countries according to their respective situations is the third proposal of the Chinese envoy.
African countries have different situations and needs, therefore China will distribute its aid and investment case by case, taking account of both the targeted country's need and the benefit of whole Africa, Wang said, adding that the African Union's role of coordination should also be actively applied.
Fourthly, China will innovate its cooperation with Africa to make it more efficient, according to Wang. Chinese enterprises are encouraged to directly invest more in Africa, and align regional infrastructure construction with local industry development, so that African economy can generate the self-reliance momentum, decrease fiscal burden and financial risks, he added.
The fifth is to make sure that the results of the FOCAC summit benefit the peoples of China and Africa, Wang stressed, adding that the eight major initiatives proposed at the Beijing Summit of FOCAC will contribute to poverty alleviation, employment and income increase in Africa.
Last but not the least, joint actions of global partners are needed to promote Africa's development, Wang proposed.
China insists on open and transparent cooperation with African partners and welcomes more countries to invest in Africa on the basis that African wills are respected, African voice is heard and African need is met, Wang said.
Africa should be a stage for international cooperation instead of an arena for major powers to contest with each other, Wang concluded.

How to Rent the Italian Villas Featured on 'Succession' Season 3
The producers of the hit HBO show worked with luxury travel consultant Emily FitzRoy to film at three grand estates in the country.

When the Roy family and their associates travel to Italy on season three of Succession, their obsessions and machinations play out against grand old-world tableaux, thanks to three magnificent villas that get substantial screen time.
In the eighth episode of the hit HBO show, "Chiantishire," Roman Roy (Kieran Culkin) meets up with tech entrepreneur Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgard) at Villa La Cassinella, perched right next to Lake Como. Meanwhile, Lady Caroline (Harriet Walter), the ex-wife of patriarch Logan Roy (Brian Cox), is ensconced in La Foce, known for its glorious gardens and located in Southern Tuscany. A third elegant home, Villa Cetinale, also appears in season three.

To find and rent these filming locations, the producers of the show relied on a secret weapon: luxury travel consultant Emily FitzRoy. "I've just worked out that my surname means 'bastard son of Roy family,'" she tells The Hollywood Reporter over a Zoom call from Venice. "I think it's fate that I got involved."
FitzRoy, the founder of bespoke travel and party planning company Bellini Travel, which she founded about two decades ago, worked with the Succession team to find all three homes, some of which have never previously allowed a film crew on premises.

"They were very, very lucky," she says. "These places get booked up years and years in advance. Because of the pandemic — people weren't getting married last year — we actually managed to get our feet in the door with relatively short notice."
Villa La Cassinella, located on the western shore of Lake Como, includes a main residence, an infinity-edge swimming pool with 22-carat gold reflective tiles, a pool house with a gym and screening room, and a detached terrace house. The property accommodates up to 17 guests. "I love it because you can only get there by boat, and it's extremely private despite being right in the beating heart of Lake Como, which has become very popular in the last decade," says FitzRoy.

The production also spent a week filming at Villa Cetinale, a 17th century Baroque estate near Siena that was originally built for Pope Alexander VII. Edith Wharton included the property's beautiful landscape in her 1904 book Italian Villas and Their Gardens. "Ironically, the last party I organized [before the pandemic] was a wedding in Villa Cetinale in October of 2019," says FitzRoy. "I left Cetinale as a party planner and came back to organize a fake party this summer, which felt like quite a good bookend."
Perhaps the most famous estate depicted on the show is La Foce, where Succession shot for three weeks. "The gardens are the most beautiful in all of Italy — ironically, designed by an Englishman. He invented the beautiful twisting lane of cypress trees that you see on every single postcard," says FitzRoy of La Foce, which accommodates up to 24 guests.
The gardens at La Foce in Southern Tuscany La Foce
"It comes with a very interesting history," she continues, "from this American lady, Iris Origo, who married an Italian who moved there before the war. During the war, they hid a lot of prisoners of war, Jews, all sorts of people, in the woods surrounding the house. Iris Origo wrote these famous war diaries." On the first scouting trip for the show's sojourn to Italy, FitzRoy gifted a copy of the diaries to Succession director and executive producer Mark Mylod.
Mylod, who discovered FitzRoy online, got in touch with her last March, but his email to her went to spam. "It was total chance that I looked in my junk mail in March that said literally, 'Dear Sir Madam, I am an executive producer of a show that you may not know.' I was like, 'Are you joking? Of course, I know it. I'm a huge fan of the show,'" recalls FitzRoy. "We did one call at the end of March. I immediately could tell where Kendall would want to stay. He would want slick American bathrobes and a much more contemporary feel, and Lady Caroline would want aristocratic gardens."
All the villas used as filming locations for the show can be rented — some go for more than $100,000 a week — through Bellini Travel, whose clients have included members of the British royal family. "We only look after 100 clients a year," says FitzRoy, who adds that she's had "many clients like the Roy family. It was easy to advise [the Succession producers] on not just the houses that these people would rent, but also what they would drink, what they would eat, how the flowers might look for a celebration. For all of that, I hope I was of use to them." The show's producers, she says, "are obsessed with detail and authenticity."

Frank Rich, an executive producer on the show, became friends with FitzRoy during the production. "She is just a force of nature, and she seems to know every single person in Italy and every establishment, every hotel, every restaurant, every villa," says Rich. "And part of her role — once we had these wonderful locations she found for us — was to be kind of an ambassador for a company that involved several hundred people tramping through these villas. To make sure the owners were not in any way put off. All of it went swimmingly."
During shooting, FitzRoy also became a de facto travel adviser for the cast and crew. "I knew there were wonderful restaurants down the road where they could go and eat or lovely hotels to stay on the weekends or after they wrapped. Some restaurants became real favorites, and there were some little hotels like La Bandita Townhouse in Pienza that was great. Everyone felt very at home."
Rich calls the show's Italy shoots "this magical time. It was June to late July, and there were no tourists yet. We were like the only American in almost any place we went. One of the actors went to see the David [statue in Florence], and he was the only person there. Alex [Witchel, Rich's wife] and I passed through Rome. There were like four people on the Spanish Steps on a mid-afternoon. [Emily] gave everyone tips on where to go."
Among the places FitzRoy recommends to stay near where Succession shot — in addition to La Bandita Townhouse — are Grand Hotel Continentale in Siena and Grand Hotel Tremezzo on Lake Como. Some of her favorite restaurants in the country are Ristorante Le Logge in Siena, Dopolavoro at the La Foce estate, Osteria del Leone in Bagno Vignoni, Locanda Il Paradiso in Chiusure and Ristorante Pierluigi in Rome.
"I loved every minute of it, and I've had the best summer ever being involved," concludes FitzRoy of working on the show. "I had so much fun. They were like an old-fashioned theater company. They are really fond of each other, and there's a warmth."

Q: Why doesn't this work? (toLocaleString on some outputs) I have this basic calculator below, and I'm using toLocaleString to add a separator inside the numbers so it reads easier. It works perfectly on the third output, but not on the first two? I have basic coding skills so I'm not 100% sure how to use it...
<form oninput="loanval.value=loan.value.toLocaleString(); periodval.value=period.value.toLocaleString(); paymentval.value=Math.floor(loan.value / period.value).toLocaleString()">

Loan Amount
<input type="range" id="loan" name="loan" min="5000" max="400000" step="5000">
<output name="loanval" for="loan">0</output>

Loan Period
<input type="range" id="period" name="period" min="1" max="15">
<output name="periodval" for="period">0</output>

Your monthly repayment will be:
<output name="paymentval">0</output>

</form>

A: It's because per default, your form input is a string and toLocaleString works on numbers. So, to change it accordingly, you have to change your loan.value to parseInt(loan.value, 10) as you can see in this fiddle
That said, the Math js functions implicitly do the conversion above for you, so that's why your last output works as expected.
