It is the year 2019. R.A.G.N.A.R.O.K, a top secret branch of the Department of Homeland Security and successor to the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs, is on the hunt for Superheroes and Supervillains, which have existed since World War I, after Durant, Oklahoma was destroyed by an explosion that was covered up as a test to determine how the detonation of a nuclear bomb would affect soil erosion but was actually caused by a fight between five Superheroes and five Supervillains, the goal of this hunt being to kill the superheroes and supervillians who are too dangerous to be captured and holding the ones who are not in a secret facility built under Guantanamo Bay. The Superheroes and Supervillains, their ranks decimated by this "Super Hunt", have gone into hiding until the Federal Government decides that R.A.G.N.A.R.O.K hunting "nonexistent Persons" is too expensive and forces them to deal with conventional threats.

Vincent Bolander was driving north to Durant to investigate the explosion epicenter site in Durant, Oklahoma. Along the way the way his car broke down 12 miles south of Sherman, Texas. He tried to his cellphone but the batter was dead. His alternative was to walk to a nearby 7-11 gas station. With flashing his R.A.G.N.A.R.O.K agent badge, the gas station clerk seemed disturbed.
"You seem afraid of me sir that I am a R.A.G.N.A.R.O.K agent.", Vincent Bolander spoke as he noticed the gas station clerk was taken back when revealed his badge.
The gas station clerk was jumpy and nervous as he tried to speak.
"y-you don't want to go there. Since Durant has rebuilt since World War 1 what you want to know isn't there anymore.", the gas station clerk responded.
"What isn't there anymore? Tell me now!," Vincent Bolander said sternly loud as he laid his right hand on the checkout counter.

The door behind them opened as none other than Ethanael Davrol walked in. He tho looked calm, even if he noticed the Governement agent. He moved in the station to pick up some groceries. Without his signature armor and helmet, he ressembled the common man. He gave glares from time to time to the front of the store, but otherwise kept quiet.

Vincent Meets His Partner
by Flarbinia » Sun Jun 16, 2019 3:21 pm
"It got reduced to a radioactive crater. A nuclear test, according to official sources." A woman wearing sunglasses and a black suit said to Vincent as she activated what looked like a Next Gen Rolex, pointed it at the gas station clerk, and zapped him, blanking his short-term memory as the cameras shorted out. Once they were outside, the woman flashed her badge. "Agent Beatrice Combs. I am your new partner. On the job training and all that jazz. What part of "officially, we do not exist" didn't you get when you were a rookie? You didn't even bother with a cover story. Consider yourself lucky that the Memory Eraser sends out a magnetic pulse powerful enough to destroy the evidence on any hard drive within a two mile radius or you would be up shit creek without a paddle." Agent Beatrice said to Vincent as she carried what looked like a futuristic handheld car battery to her partner's car, Vincent following her to his vehicle.

He sighed, looking at them both with an annoyed smile. Ethan knew what was gonna happen and stood ready.

"What is that supposed to mean?", Vincent Bolander replied as he reached to pull out his pistol. "And you must be Ethanael Davrol."
As he turned to his left he saw Agent Beatrice Combs. "Why don't we just stun this wise crack and take him with us? Obviously suspicious."

"You have your sources, Agent Bolander."
He gave an half-amused smirk.
"I'm not here for anyone of you 2. And you most likely have bigger fishes to fry."
"Regulations require us to confirm that a suspect is a "non-existent person" before we attempt to detain or kill. Wisecracking is not enough proof to do either." Beatrice Combs said to Vincent before resuming with the task of recharging Vincent's car, Vincent following her back to his car to make sure the job is done right. After half an hour, the car and the phone were fully charged, Agent Vincent and Agent Beatrice heading to the Durant Crater to scavenge any Superhero and/or Supervillain gadgets that may have survived the atomic blast.

Following their departure, he walked out of the store with his groceries without paying, making him have a small smirk as he swung them in his 1960 Corvette in a White and red paintjob. He drove off, using his telekinesis to speed the car up at probably unsafe speeds, while making people avoid him by mind-control and telepathy. He soon arrived to Atoka, a town north of Durant. Ethanael had a small sigh as he parked the car in the garage of his house, which was very modest considering the power and money he had gained during his early years as a supervillain. He oppened the door and entered, setting his leather coat on a coat-rack. He then looked around, feeling something was off...
Shadow Roamer Gives A Villain His Assignment
by Flarbinia » Sun Jun 16, 2019 10:45 pm
"I thought you were not showing up. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Shadow Roamer and I am in need of your services. Your assignment is a simple rescue OP. You have twenty-four hours to free Chernobyl and Iron Tiger. If you are successful, you will be paid with twenty billion in gold. However, if you fail in this task, I will hunt you to the ends of the Earth and tear you limb from fucking limb. There is nowhere you can run and hide from me." A man shrouded in darkness said to Elthanael Davrol in the voice of a man who had smoked six packs a day before vanishing back into the shadows, leaving only a road map with the location marked with a red dot, the words "R.A.G.N.A.R.O.K BASE" written under it.

Rachel is standing next to her dark blue 2019 Dodge Charger wearing a tight fitting Avenged Sevenfold T-shirt, black jeans, and Nike tennis shoes looking her text messages when she looked up in time to see an old school Corvette speed by. She looks around noticing nobody was paying attention to the car, she narrowed her eyes in suspicion thinking, Hmmm... He must be using mind control and telepathy to make people not notice him or his car. The only one I know that has those powers plus is a villain is Ethan. What I want to know is what he is doing in this town? Rachel to the driver side door, opens and it gets in before closing the car door. She cranks the car which comes to life with a throaty roar before shifting the gear into drive and pulling out on to the road following where Ethan's Corvette went. She hides her car before getting into her superhero costume then knocks on his door with her arms crossed.

He took the map, sighing in annoyance. It was a life he was trying to forget. Not the fighting itself more than the violence of it. He sat down with a snack, looking at the map and eating. Those 2 were among the most evil, and so was most likely the Roamer. He took a bite from the apple, sighing again. Ethan was not the man he once was. He considered himself retired, in some way, even though he perfectly knew he wasn't. He just chose his fights better. He wouldn't fall that low again, no. Davrol was an activist, not a terrorist.
But twenty billion dollars was immense. He could move to another country, change his identity, bury his past, perhaps find love, have a family and simply live a free life away from all worries of being caught. The thought of that made him smile slightly. The bittersweet joy of getting something you didn't deserve-

He was brought out of his reflection by the knock and got up, oppening. His small smile faded rather quickly, but he did not attempt to lock her out. Instead he just held the door open rolling his eyes and using his telekinesis to bring his apple to his hand, taking another bite.
"Why are you here."

Lee had noticed the Corvette that sped by unnoticed by the general public and the car that followed it. Out of pure curiosity, he followed them, keeping up with his super speed. As they got to their destination, he hid in a bush within earshot of Ethan's door, assuming that that was even the place they were going to. He had already switched out of his pedestrian clothes, and put on his supersuit. Which was basically a black body suit with a yellow lightning motif on the back and front. Simple, yet obvious. There was noticeably nothing covering his hands.

A run-down, filthy home
Durant, Oklahoma
Jim Keller
Already late morning, when respectable businessmen were getting ready for their lunch break, a man with long, unkept hair groaned. He was laying face down on a couch that had seen better decades, worn in most places and broken in the rest. The man groaned again, this time slightly louder. He stirred and forced himself to his unsteady feet. Staggering the ten steps to the hallway, and then about six more to the bathroom on the left, the scraggly haired man rubbed his red shot eyes. His mouth a desert and his head a pounding bass drum in a circus march, he made it to the sink. Turning the cold water on, he filled a small scuffed up cup from the counter and drank like he had never seen or tasted tap water. His red eyes that looked back at him in the mirror appeared as if they belonged to a man he didn't know who was 30 years older. But after a moment of recovery, Jim Keller knew that it was his image indeed. And that the bottle of malt liquor he had had the night before made him feel like he was the living dead, a zombie among men.
Breathing out with alcohol still heavy on his breath, Jim tried to mentally center himself, but to no avail. If he had been sober enough to think straight, he might have thought that he could just march into the nearest A.A. meeting place and start cold turkey. If he had been sober enough to think straight, Jim might have found some inner resolve to accomplish something with the rest of his life, beginning with one day at a time. But sobriety had long been absent in his life and inner resolve wasn't easy to find. He would not depart from his routine. Even if it killed him, and it was doing just that. A slave to the demon that was alcohol, he had to obey his master. Jim knew how he felt then, and though he didn't especially like how he felt, it was his new normal. It wasn't like he could change the past.
Taking another drink of water to make his throat feel decently, Jim stumbled out to the hallway and into the adjoining room, a small bedroom. Stripping down, taking the clothes off he had worn for the last few days that still smelled faintly of vomit, Jim hoped he had something clean enough in his closet he could throw on. Finding a shirt that could probably pass a casual inspection and some pants that weren't too dirty, Jim climbed his way into them, thinking what he was going to do for the day. He was low on cash, and didn't really have a way to get more. He wasn't even quite sure exactly how he had gotten enough money to pay for the bottle he bought last night at the cheap liquor store he often frequented. While he was trying to think of a way to get more to feed the hunger, desperate for a beer to start the day off right, there was a knock at the door.
"Jim Keller. Open up. Police." Jim muttered profanities under his breath, and yelled out something incoherent as he made his way to the door. There was a second knock, and the voice said, "Jim Keller. We just want to talk. It will only be a few minutes of your time." "As if," Jim thought, and opened the main door. Two officers stood on the other side of the screen, one tall and muscular, the other medium sized with a beard. The beard spoke, "Jim Keller. Officers Klein and Nasmith. How are you today, sir?"
Jim said quietly, with a sound of inner peace that he neither looked nor felt, "I'm doin' alright. Nice day."
The bearded officer smiled and said, "It is a nice day. Mind telling us where you were last night at 7:30?"
Jim shrugged, "I don't know." It wasn't a lie. While there were some images that went through his mind, it was a scattered picture here and there, none of which made any coherent sense. The new normal. It was like this everyday. He could rarely say what his exact steps had been the night before.
The bearded officer responded, "You sure you don't know? Did you maybe go out shopping? Did you go somewhere around people?"
Jim simply shrugged.
No longer smiling, the tall officer said, "There was a robbery yesterday night about 7:30 p.m. downtown, We have witnesses who claimed that a man looking exactly like you held them at gunpoint before they went into the mall. Maybe you could tell us something about that."
Jim thought, and tried to remember what his night had been like - or any specific night in the past month. It was all a blur. The remaining alcohol in his system didn't help uncloud his thoughts. Though he was mentally straining, the well was dry - unlike him. He said, "I don't think that was me, officer."
The two glanced at each other, and the bearded one said, "Tell you what, Jim. I hope you're right. But don't go out of town. We might want to talk to you again."
Jim stared, though inwardly he was fuming. What the hell?! Just because he was poor, the police thought they could accuse him of stealing? Did he even have a gun? Jim honestly couldn't remember. The police officers left his home and went to their car. Backing up the drive, Jim's internal anger snapped, and he did his trick. That weird kind of push that he could do with only his mind. That trick that was fueled by the demon of alcohol he served. And Jim pushed. And the minds of both of the officers were instantly a jumbled up mess of unfiring synapses and rage. Unable to concentrate on anything, not their conversation, not the hot cup of coffee the tall-ish officer was drinking, not Jim's lack of confession, and most of all, not driving, the car immediately became a danger to the people inside, as well as everyone else on the road. The police car suddenly swerved left, right, left again, speeding up. And eventually, it ran through a red light. Straight into an oncoming truck. The horn blared, but the non-responsive minds of the driver and his passenger wouldn't have been able to connect the dots as to what should be done because of it. The car never had a chance. The heavy-duty truck crushed through it as if it were an aluminum can. The left side of the car was crushed in. The passenger flew out the car onto the pavement, shredding his skin before he collapsed in a heap. The truck was damaged, but the driver staggered out and immediately started apologizing as loudly as he could.
Jim could care less. He closed the door, and went back to his room. And there, partially under the bed, was something he had somehow missed the first time. A handgun. Jim stared at it, and then wondered if he had actually robbed anybody the night before. Again, his thoughts were a blur and nothing was certain. Jim was astonished at the presence of the gun. He picked it up and looked at it for a long time. Then, for no other reason than the fact that it was in his hand, he put it in his pants so it wouldn't fall. But he had it in case he needed it.
It was Oklahoma. People carried guns. Shouldn't be a big deal.
Jim went out the door, and walked away from the developing accident scene at the end of his block. Ambulance sirens were quiet in the distance but getting louder. Traffic was stopped at the intersection. The police were sure to come and avenge their own. But they would never learn why two trained officers had forgotten how to drive. Meanwhile, Jim had things to do.

He landed on his feet, despite being propelled while crouching. He said the only thing that was going through his mind at the moment. "Shit." He seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "Sorry for 'observing', but a Cadillac driving through town unnoticed is suspicious. The only reason I noticed you through your mind tricks was because she followed you." He gestured to Rachel.

Rachel looks at Ethan with suspicion before saying, " When I noticed your Corvette speeding by me and nobody but him," Rachel points at Lee, "and me see you doing it, it made me suspicious. Why were you driving so fast and why did I feel a dark presence in your home?" She turns to Lee and says, "Why were you following me and Who are you? I'm Miss Storm, Catagory 10 Superhero. "

"I followed you because you were the first one to notice him. I'm Lightning, Category 6 superhero. And if you're wondering, yes, my powers are electricity based." He held up his hand to show that he was making sparks jump between his fingers. He lowered his hand and looked around. "Y'know, we probably shouldn't be standing out in the open like this."

"I drove fast because I almost bumped into a pair of R.A.G.N.A.R.O.K Agents? And for the dark presence..."
He paused for a small second, making up something credible.
"Well, you know who I am. You shouldn't be impressed."
Ethan made a slight frown before walking away from the door and back inside, holding it open with his powers.
"If we're gonna have this whole discussion, come in, less chances some fool sees and arrests us."

Vincent Bolander turned to his agent.
"This Ethan character keeps showing up everywhere we go. Next time I see him I am going under arrest. Wait a minute I just received bulletin to return to headquarters. Hold on we are to catch a plane out of Oklahoma City and be at our branch office in Phoenix by noon tomorrow. Apparently with great urgency. As to Durant here its a major crap hole."

"I guess that they have a big one for us. As for arresting Ethan, we do not have sufficient proof." Agent Beatrice Combs said to her partner as they got back in the car, having collected a hexagonal chest plate that would extend into a full suit of power armor with the push of a button and a pair of gauntlets that can emit sound waves to demolish large buildings, both of which would be sent to the lab in Salt Lake City to be reverse engineered.

"You're right way too exposed especially for someone like me." She walks into the house and closes the door behind her before speaking, "Lightning, even I knew what kind of car that was." Rachel turns her head to Ethan, "What did the agents look like because we are bound run into them sometime in the future. They will try to kill me because I'm a Catagory 10 while they will try to arrest the two of you." She takes a seat on the couch.

"I can only assume they look like the cliche secret government agent." He sat down on a recliner. "But I have heard stories of them using salvaged tech from superheroes and supervillians against us. And they've supposedly reverse-engineered some of it, too."

He picks up a can of Ginger Ale, oppening it and taking a sip.
"Well, I can't remember on the spot, but I got their names. Vincent Bolander and Beatrice Combs. They also got called to Pheonix, so they're out of the way."
As he spoke tho, the 2 heros would notice, in a corner, his signature helmet. That sign had inspired fear in all for years.

Covid-19: Europe and the post-economic crisis triggered by the pandemic
Francesco La Camera appointed Director General of the International Renewable Energy Agency
TUNISIA/ITALY. The scandal was denounced as early as November 2020 by a private Tunisian television channel. According to the investigation of investigative journalists, the Tunisian company Soreplast imports 120,000 tons of waste each year, including dangerous hospital products. Despite attempts at cover-up, the affair now splashes twenty-three high-ranking Tunisian political and administrative officials. At least 282 containers of hazardous waste would have been illegally exported in 2020 from Italy to the port of Sousse, Tunisia.
Mustapha Aroui, Minister of the Environment, executives of the Ministry of Environment and Customs, and the director of the National Agency for Waste Recycling were placed in custody Monday, December 21, 2020. The Tunisian justice would have issued at least eight warrants of committal.
The boss of the Tunisian importing company is on the run. Soreplast has only an authorization to recycle and export industrial plastic waste. According to AFP, it has made a false declaration of import of "post-industrial plastic waste in non-hazardous bales ... to carry out the operations of sorting, recycling and re-export to Europe.
On the Italian side, the sender, Sviluppo Risorse Ambientali Srl, is said to be based in Naples. SRA would have signed a €5 million contract with Soreplast for the disposal of 120,000 tons of garbage.
Tunisia treats only 60% of its waste. "Disposal" therefore often means uncontrolled storage in an open-air landfill.
The 282 containers must theoretically be returned to the sender. Theoretically.
Sviluppo Risorse Ambientali Srl's motto is "together for a better world".

With three out of four does having kidded, and the fourth doe in the kidding pen now, it's time to share a bit about this year's kiddings! I'll be posting more about goats soon: kidding, kids, milking, etc. Here I'll recap Annie's kidding experience.
Annie was the second goat to kid. We had setup a kidding pen in our garage so it would be easy to monitor and assist with the kiddings. With a five month old baby, I didn't want to sit out in the goat pen, waiting for a kidding to happen! The pen in the garage made everything a lot easier. Annie's ligaments were loose one morning when I checked them at feeding time, so into the kidding pen she went!
Rebecca says a kidding pen in the garage is where it's at!
Once Annie was in the kidding pen, she spent a lot of time trying to escape. It was new, and she was in labor, so she acted like a goat. Finally, though, she resigned herself to being in the pen. I think this occurred when hard labor started, and she had better things (like pushing out these goat kids) on her mind.
She labored on the floor for a bit at first, but that didn't last long. Then she got up, and stayed up for the rest of the labor. First two little goat hooves appeared.
This was a good sign, since based on their orientation it was apparent these were the kid's front legs. That's the ideal way for kids to come: front legs and head first. Annie stayed at this stage for a while, with just the kid's front feet visible. She didn't seem in distress, though. She was just hanging out, with a kid's front feet peeking out of her rear end. Finally, labor progressed! A healthy looking black goat kid was born, coming out in a matter of maybe a minute or two.
Annie immediately began licking him clean, like a good mama. It was apparent he could breathe, so I didn't intervene.
My task while Annie cleaned up the kid was to determine if she had another in there still. I "bounced" Annie per the instructions from Fiasco Farm, and felt another kid in there. Bouncing was very easy, and having done it to Annie and other does without a second kid, it's apparent whether there's a kid in there or not.
I waited for Annie to birth the second goat kid. The first kid was fine, laying on the ground and seeming to get its bearing in this world. After a short time, the second kid started to come out. You can see in the photo below it was coming out head first.
While this is not the ideal position, as the front legs seemed to be back rather than forward, I had read that many goats can push out a kid in this position without needing intervention. So I thought I'd give her a minute and see what happened. That kid came out fast! I would be it helped that the kid was smaller than the first kid, and that it was the second one born.
Annie did great during the kidding and taking care of her kids afterward. I left her and the kids in the kidding pen for the rest of the afternoon, so they could bond. Annie was given some extra grain, and some molasses in her water. She didn't seem exhausted or worn out. I had to move Annie and the kids back out to pasture after just a few hours because another doe had loose ligaments, and needed to move to the kidding pen. Annie and the kids had bonded well, though, and moving them back out to the goat pen worked out fine. Here you can see Annie with her two bucklings.
Annie's firstborn, the black one, is named Storm and we will train him to be Rebecca's cart goat.
We are thankful that Annie's kidding went well, and that we have two healthy bucklings. Stay tuned to read about the other kiddings, plus more goat fun!

Greek museums face the economic crisis
by Sean McLachlan on Feb 1, 2012
It's not easy being the caretaker of Greece's heritage these days. Greek museums are facing budget cuts, strikes, reduced staff, even loss of visitors due to riots. The National Archaeological Museum had many rooms closed during the peak tourist season last summer due to budget cuts, and strikes are regularly closing all publicly owned museums.
Take the Byzantine and Christian Museum in Athens. It collects the nation's Medieval heritage, focusing especially on the glory days of Byzantium. When the Roman Empire split into western and eastern halves in 395 AD, the West fell apart within a century, but the East, known as Byzantium, survived for another thousand years. Byzantium produced a distinct and beautiful artistic style and preserved many Classical works that then became the inspiration for the Renaissance.
The museum was founded in 1914 in the palace of a French noble. For most of the twentieth century the displays didn't change much and visitors tended to pass it by for the more famous Classical sights.
"It was a place only for scholars," said Nikolas Constantios, an archaeologist and museologist who works there and showed me around the recently revamped permanent exhibition.
And what an exhibition! Some four hundred icons are on display. Richly embroidered church vestments stand next to colorfully painted manuscripts, gold coins, and day-to-day objects. It's all laid out in an open, well-lit fashion that reminded me of the new Ashmolean in Oxford. This modern style replaced the old "cases filled with stuff" museum design and helps combat museum fatigue.
This ten-year revitalization project almost came too late. The money, half of which came from the Ministry of Culture and half from the European Union, was already earmarked when the crisis hit.
%Gallery-145819%
"We were safe because we were almost finished," Constantios said. "If the crisis had happened five years ago we would have had a lot of problems.
The final touches are due to be completed by May and include a public garden, gift shop, and cafe.
While the present looks rosy for this museum, there are some serious challenges ahead. Museum director Anastasia Lazaridou said the Ministry of Culture has cut the museum's budget by 20 percent. She has had to let some of the staff go, especially short-term contractors whose work is important for their well-known conservation department, which remains the biggest in Greece.
"We will try to find money from the private sector and create a bigger network of collaborations with foreign museums to share expenses," Lazaridou said.
With the recession, though, the museum has found getting large donations to be more difficult than it used to be. Tickets help–with the renovation visitors numbers are ten times what they were a decade ago–yet many of these visitors get in for free.
When I visited there was a typical crowd for the low season: three other tourists and several school groups. Entrance is free for under-18s. Luckily this situation reverses in the high season. Check out the photo gallery and you'll see why the Byzantine and Christian Museum is getting on the map.
The Museum of the City of Athens is facing even greater challenges. Housed in the former royal palace of King Otto, the first monarch after independence from the Ottoman Empire, it's situated close to the municipal government buildings. Several riots have occurred right outside their door and now many tourists avoid the entire neighborhood. Museum director Aglaia Archontidou-Argiri told me visitor numbers dropped 70 percent last year.
Luckily the museum is a private foundation so they are in no danger of closing, yet they're scrambling to find money for extra programs. Last year they ran a free program teaching Greek culture and history to immigrants. It ran for six months and included students from the Roma, Georgian, Bulgarian, and other communities. Now they have no money to continue, but Archontidou-Argiri remains optimistic they'll find the money somewhere.
Like with the Byzantine museum, many visitors are school groups, who come to see the displays illustrating the development of their city. While the museum charges them, it lets in kids for free if their families can't afford the €2 ($2.63) entry fee. With the crisis worsening, this is becoming increasingly common. There is also a popular music and lecture series that attracts many locals, but it is also free.
So far these two museums are doing fairly well. Both have been lucky in their funding, but with the crisis tightening wallets all over Europe, the caretakers of Greek heritage have a tough job ahead.
Don't miss the rest of my series: Our Past in Peril, Greek tourism faces the economic crisis.
Coming up next: Athens day trip: Acrocorinth!
Rent the Acropolis for just $2000 a day
by Kraig Becker on Jan 18, 2012
Desperate times require desperate measures. That seems to be the mantra coming out of Greece these days, where the country has gone from debating whether or not it should lease out the Acropolis to just how much they should charge. Yesterday, the Greek cultural ministry announced that it will begin renting some of its most well known, and iconic, archeological sites, starting with the Acropolis itself, for about $2000 per day.
Members of the cultural ministry were quick to point out that leasing the monument, which happen to be a World Heritage Site, would come with a number of strict stipulations. For instance, it would only be available for advertising firms wanting to use the ancient ruins as part of a photo shoot, or for demonstrators looking for a place to stage a protest. The cost could be as low as 1600 euros (roughly $2057) per day however, which makes it a relative bargain for a place with so much history.
As you can imagine, archaeologists are less than thrilled at the thought of Greece renting out its historical sites. Critics of the plan fearing further damage to the already fragile ruins and a perceived cheapening of history itself. But the ministry says that the plan only makes good economic sense, and that all funds raised in this manner would go directly towards the maintenance of the sites themselves. At this point, with the government already strapped for cash, they need all the help they can get.
While this news is a bit sad, it could have easily been worse. Considering the fact that Greece is facing major debt default in March, we should feel lucky they aren't selling the corporate naming rights to these sites like many sports franchises. One can only imagine how much revenue The Amazon Acropolis or the Delphi Oracle by Google could have brought in.

Greek tanker truck strike strands thousands of tourists
by Scott Carmichael on Jul 30, 2010
As if Greece didn't already have enough worries, its 30,000 licensed truck drivers have decided that the middle of the tourist season would be the best time to go on strike, effectively shutting down many parts of the economy.
Without truck drivers, there are no tanker trucks on the roads, which means gas stations are almost all out of gas. And without gas, tourists can't go anywhere.
The strike is taking place because of an argument about truck licenses. For forty years, Greek drivers were unable to get new permits, so the existing permits sold for about $390,000 on the open market.
As part of the massive bailout from the European Union, the Greek government was told that this system has to come to an end, which means anyone with the correct experience can get a truck license.
Crete, Corfu and Rhodos all say they are most likely going to go bankrupt in weeks unless the federal government puts an end to the strike. Thousands of tourists have already canceled their trip, and on Crete, 100's of rental cars have simply been abandoned with empty gas tanks. Yesterday, the Greek government ordered the truck drivers to return to work, but they have refused, and made it clear they will not deliver anything until the licensing changes are rolled back.

Canby E-Edition
A student of the game
Tanner Russ
After getting a head start on life, Makena Speer uses soccer to reinforce life lessons in herself
Canby freshman Makena Speer is quite the competitor, and hasn't let a lot of things stop her from doing her thing.
Speer got a head start on life, born 10 weeks premature and at just three pounds, and was diagnosed with hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is the buildup of fluid in the cavities (ventricles) deep within the brain. The excess fluid increases the size of the ventricles and puts pressure on the brain. The diagnosis has resulted in Speer being fitted with a VP shunt to alleviate the pressure.
Apart from having it replaced four years ago when it broke, it hasn't been much of a hindrance, according to Speer.
"My doctor when I was really little said that the only thing I couldn't do was organized wrestling because my head could be pushed into the ground," Speer said. "That could cause my shunt to break by the neck, or wherever it connects. But when I'm playing (soccer) I don't really notice it at all."
A member of the Canby High School soccer team that made a stab into the postseason by besting Glencoe 2-1 in the opening round, Speer has been at it for a while now, seven years to be precise. Speer took up the game at the age of seven, and hasn't looked back.
When she is not competing with her high school squad, she competes with an Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) team. This particular squad competes across the country, and also requires a fair amount of time outside of competition, including practice up to six times a week.
The ECNL team might seem like a lot with high school sports and everyday life, but Speer is taking it in stride.
"It's very intense which is very good for soccer in my opinion because it pushes you to the next level," Speer said. "When I'm with the traveling team, it's very different than being at the high school. It's definitely something I enjoy doing, especially traveling because I feel more connected with the team when we travel with each other. The idea of playing other people from different states is very different because some people from California may be better than teams from Oregon, and it helps our team see what the other teams from different states are like."
Competing against other teams in the ECNL Northwest Conference might help raise her level of play in Oregon, but so does competing against her teammates during the high school season. Speer has locked horns with several ECNL teammates, including the Northwest Oregon Conference's player of the year, Lindsey Antonson. Seeing her teammates across the pitch in different colors helped fuel her competitive nature.
"I think when I saw them in my high school team it actually made me more competitive," Speer said, "because I knew them and I wanted to show them how I've improved through being in high school, and how it's different from being on my traveling team. I feel like I did that with most of the girls that I've played with."
While Speer is most at home in the midfield, she has also had plenty of experience as a defender, on the wing, and at forward. Being a Jill-of-all-trades is an important quality, according to her ECNL coach.
"Our coach on the traveling team has told us before, 'The more positions you play the more vital of a player you are,'" Speer said. "If you're asked what positions you play in soccer and you can only play center mid, or forward, then you're only seen as a player with one position. But if you're a player that says I can play any position, you're seen as a lot more vital to the team. If someone goes down in the defense and there's no other defenders, you could get put in because you're known to play multiple positions."
ECNL is used as a scouting tool for colleges of all levels, and coaches help their players become the athletes college recruiters are scouting. For Speer, playing different positions, balancing school and competition, and a host of other life lessons are a valuable asset as she prepares for her future.
"When I was younger, it was something that I really enjoyed because I got to go against other people that I didn't know," Speer said. "But I also like to compete because I'm competitive and it teaches me about life and how life is very competitive. And that we have to work as a team, and that there's road blocks and you have to learn how to overcome those in life and in soccer. It helps me understand the differences between life and soccer."

U.S. Wireless Wall crumbles as Verizon throws support behind Google's Android
December 4th, 2007 | Posted in Mobile | No Comments
The U.S. Wireless Wall is crumbling. This time next year, the wall may have fallen.
Metaphorically, the Wireless Wall is not unlike the Berlin Wall, which separated East Berlin and West Berlin from 1961 until 1989. Only in the U.S. wireless industry, the Wall separates the protect-their-turf carriers from the we-want-freedom consumers.
There's been a steady assault on the Wireless Wall this year; it's cracked but not fallen. Yet. The latest blow comes from the No. 2 U.S. carrier, Verizon Wireless, which plans to support the Google-led Open Handset Alliance and its new, open-source software platform Android. Together OHA and Android seek openness that will allow any phone and any application to be used on any network.
Initially, Verizon was not a member of the OHA when it was announced in early November, while two other U.S. carriers — Sprint and T-Mobile — had joined the alliance. Verizon and the No. 1 U.S. carrier, AT&T, were conspicuously absent.
Verizon, however, surprised the industry last week by announcing that it is opening up its network to any phone and any application as long as its meets minimum operational standards. Following that announcement, Verizon declared that it will migrate to the 4G wireless data standard, which is more in line with much of the world's data networks.
Verizon says it hasn't been sitting on the sideline looking to protect its turf at all costs. Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam told BusinessWeek that the company has been looking to open up its network for the past year.
Verizon didn't join the OHA, McAdam said, because at the time of the announcement it was just that — an announcement. Once Verizon engineers got their hands on the Android SDK, they liked it and decided it was a platform that could work for them.
"We're planning on using Android," McAdam told BusinessWeek. "Android is an enabler of what we do."
Why did Verizon relent? Some might think it's because of the upcoming auction of 700MHz spectrum by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission. Those who successfully bid on the spectrum must open up the new networks to any device and software application.
But the decision to support Android — and the move toward an open network — is something of great importance to the future of Verizon. The U.S. wireless industry is changing, and the carriers must grow with it or find themselves as also-rans as Google gobbles up spectrum and builds (most likely with partners) new-generation networks.
McAdam noted that Verizon currently has its hands full supporting roughly 50 phones on its network, with 800 software applications available. To support its customers, Verizon runs 25 support centers of about 1,000 employees each and has 2,300 stores (staffed by 23,000 people), all of which is costly to operate.
Under an open network scenario, Verizon provides the mobile cellular and Internet connectivity but no longer has the burden of supporting the handset manufacturers and software developers. It's not unlike the computer industry today: You don't call Apple or Microsoft when you have a Photoshop question.
McAdam, like Google and other OHA partners, hopes that the large, open scale of Android-driven phones and applications will slash development costs and bring consumers something they want — wireless freedom.
"Five years from now the industry will be open like us," McAdam said. "I think we could be at an inflection point."
The Wireless Wall is crumbling.
Experts: Verizon to win 700 MHz auction; if so, "Can You Hear Me Now?" must live up to its promises
Why is AT&T behind Google and Verizon in the open-network game?
Google to bid on wireless spectrum; is it playing to win?
Excitement continues: wireless auction ends in U.S., winners will be known within 10 days


Browsing around one of my favorite independent retailers in the Marbella area; Twist Boutique at Las Colonias, San Pedro (I'm wearing the 4th day outfit from winter 10×10 challenge. See that post in Looks for more details..) I love Twist because the owner, Jane Clark, is so friendly and helpful. She knows my style and my size and pulls out the right stuff for me to try, and, although she is a good sales woman I never feel pressurized if I'm not sure about something.
Having a bit of fun with Jane and Iza (my fab photographer friend)….
Twist Boutique does it again!

Over 7 Million Americans Sign up For Obamacare
Posted byBy S.C Rhyne	| April 11, 2014 CommentsComments (0)
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced on Thursday that the Affordable Care Act reached its latest enrollment milestone of 7.5 million people signed up through Obamacare Health Insurance Exchange.
"As of this week, 400,000 additional Americans have signed up and we expect that number to continue to grow," Sebelius said during testimony before the Senate Finance Committee.
Seven million signups were projected by the Congressional Budget Office before the HealthCare.gov website debacle last October. The CBO later revised its estimate to 6 million, but the numbers surpassed that benchmark in late March.
However, Republicans have criticized the government for not providing more detailed data on how many people have actually completed enrollment by paying their first month's premium. It is estimated that 15 to 20 percent of those enrolled have not made their first payment, which is the last step to finalize coverage.
"It's like Amazon.com taking stock of how many people have placed items in their shopping carts and then counting them as sales. In other words, it's a false metric," said Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah to Reuters.
Even if this group does not make their first payment, Obamacare may still work, but politically it would be touted as a failure.
Although the federal deadline of March 31 was extended to April 15 to allow those who has trouble with the website more time to sign up, some states have extended their deadlines further on their own exchanges.
"And we expect that number to continue to grow," Sebelius testified at the hearing. "Many of the people I've met have told me that they've been able to get covered for the first time in years. And some have insurance for the first time in their entire lives."
Medicaid guidelines had also been expanded to include 11.7 million eligible Americans, and about 3 million new members signed up during the enrollment period through Feb. 28. However, states that are still processing members through a paper system or old database have serious backlogs.
Sebelius admitted to knowing about the backlog and responded that they were putting pressure on those states and looking to see what penalties they could apply to those that could not processing applications in timely manner.

Bangladesh has achieved a significant progress in students' attendance in the secondary schools, a recent report said.
"The Education Watch 2011-2012," conducted by Campaign for Popular Education that was released last week said the gross enrolment rates in the secondary level schools have gone up by 24.9% from 1998 to date.
This gross enrolment ratio is the number of children currently enrolled in classes 6-10 in every 100 children of age 11-15 years.
The ratios were 44.8%, 49.4% and 64.5% in the year 1998, 2000 and 2005 respectively, while the current ratio stands at 69.7%.
The report also says more than two third of the young people aged 10-24 years are continuing education in some type of schooling.
The report, however, points out that there are urban-rural and regional differences in the gross enrolment ratio. It says there is an overall gap of 13.5% between the areas having the highest and lowest percentages, and this difference is 8.2% in the urban locations.
According to the report, Rangpur division is performing better compared to other divisions' continuation of children and youth education. The percentage of rural Dhaka and urban Khulna in access and participation is found to be the worst. The report also says the rate of female participation in education is higher all over the country, compared to male participation with one exception of Rajshahi division.
Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid, meanwhile, commented that some of the government initiatives, including distribution of textbooks to secondary level, were playing significant role in increasing the enrolment rate. The government was working to increase the enrolment rate further, the minister added.


Access is the greatest opportunity and the greatest threat for businesses engaging with the online economy. Increasingly, our business systems gather, digest and disperse data throughout our operations, including confidential details about customers, employees and business partners. Mature cyber security processes are vital to protect this confidential information from unauthorised access, which can expose businesses to punishing and potentially lethal brand damage. In fact, even a cursory review of 2016 cybersecurity breaches — including the Yahoo! billion-user revelations, the DNC hack during the U.S. presidential election and the $81 million malware attack against a Bangladeshi bank — reveal their unprecedented size and impact.
If you get the impression that things are getting worse, that's because they are.
A recent cyber security report by Telstra, Australia's largest telecommunications company, reports that cyber crime in that country doubled in just 12 months due to the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and virtual cloud environments. It states that 59 per cent of organisations in Australia detected a business-interrupting security breach at least monthly during 2016 — more than twice as often as in 2015. Furthermore, the Telstra report concludes by observing that more organizations are being successfully targeted by cyber security attacks than ever before.
Industry research shows that most data breaches arise from a single point of vulnerability — compromised credentials.
"As always, compromised credentials, whether they were obtained through phishing, spyware or brute-force methods, played a major role in many data breaches," stated Verizon in a 2014 report.
Centrify increasingly hears from customers in Australia and globally that the plethora of cloud-based applications within the enterprise is making them more vulnerable than ever before. For example, if an employee uses 10 cloud applications, that person has 10 usernames and passwords to manage. For an individual, managing that many online identities is a challenge. Scaling that scenario to hundreds or thousands of employees within an organization and the IT department faces a herculean task to ensure that passwords are securely set and secured.
When an employee leaves the organization, someone in the IT department must ensure that these cloud credentials are either rescinded or reallocated to another employee. The lack of a quick and easy deprovisioning process for cloud applications — many of which may hold confidential customer or commercial data — is a gaping hole in the security posture of many organizations, especially those that lack rigorous password hygiene.
Customers are choosing Centrify for our ability to take away the pain of password management through the single sign-on capabilities of our Centrify Identity Service (CIS).
Rather than depending on employees or IT staff to maintain the integrity of access to diverse online systems, CIS improves end-user productivity and secures access to cloud, mobile and on-premises apps via single sign-on, user provisioning and multi-factor authentication (MFA). So, as organizations increasingly exploit business opportunities in the online economy, Centrify equips them to minimise cybersecurity threats in the Age of Access.

UNITED STATES: The superhero of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers," Jason David Frank, who is popularly known as the original Green Ranger, died at the age of 49. As per sources, the 90s hero committed suicide in Texas.
The reason behind such a drastic step is still unknown; however, the news of his demise was confirmed by one representative of Frank's family, who stated, "Please respect the privacy of his family and friends during this horrible time as we come to terms with the loss of such a wonderful human being."
The representative, putting an additional effort into his words, said, "He will be truly missed and he loved his family, friends, and fans very much."
Jason David Frank ruled the television industry through his characters in Tommy Oliver's "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" franchise; the three-season run was available on Fox Kids from 1993 to 1996.
His sudden demise put the world into a state of shock, especially for his fans, who lived and grew through watching his series.
Frank's co-star in MMPR, Walter Jones, expressed his grief and said, "He was an inspiration to so many people." His presence will be dearly missed. "It's so sad to lose another member of our Ranger family."
The Ranger family lost one precious stone, and Jones, remembering their good old days, stated, "Jason was one of the biggest pranksters on the show." He had a wild sense of humour. We had our share of ups and downs, but I stayed consistent about being an ear if he needed one. "My prayers go out to his family and all that will miss him."
Professional wrestler Iron Sheik wrote on his social media handle, "RIP JDF YOU THE REAL LEGEND BUBBA I LOVE YOU FOREVER #RIPLEGEND."
Frank is survived by his four children and his wife, Tammie Frank, to whom he'd been married since 2003.
The actor was going through a tough time in his marriage because earlier this year, Frank's wife blamed him for cheating on her and filed for divorce. Earlier, Jason was married to Shawna Frank from 1994 to 2001.

Q: Getting values from readonly columns when radgrid is in edit mode (inPlace) I have a problem with Telerik radgrid:

*

*i have a radgrid with 17 columns, only 6 are editables (others have ReadOnly="true")

*one button fires the method that tries to save changes into DB (not a radgrid event and     so i haven't grid arguments)

*i can get values from radgrid.edititems (6 columns) but I don't know where to find other 11 columns that are non editable...
here's my code
protected void HiddenButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        DataTable dt = Oggetti.DT_RDO();

        foreach (GridEditableItem editedItem in dgRDO.EditItems)
        {
            Hashtable newValues = new Hashtable();
            //The GridTableView will fill the values from all editable columns in the hash
            editedItem.OwnerTableView.ExtractValuesFromItem(newValues, editedItem);

Into newValues i have edited values, where i can get other values???

A: Please try with the below code snippet.
.ASPX
<Columns>
    <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ID" UniqueName="ID" HeaderText="ID">
    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
    <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Name" UniqueName="Name" HeaderText="Name">
    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
    <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
    </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
</Columns>

.ASPX.CS
protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditFormInsertItem)
        {
            // insert
        }
        else
        {
            // Edit
            // Please add below code in your page
            GridEditableItem item = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
            item["Name"].Controls[0].Visible = false;
            Label l1 = new Label();
            l1.ID = "l1";
            l1.Text = (item["Name"].Controls[0] as TextBox).Text;
            item["Name"].Controls.Add(l1);
        }
    }
}

Note : We cannot get readonly column's value in ExtractValuesFromItem method. If we set any column as readonly then it will not rendered in editmode. That's why we are not able to access this columns.
After adding the above code you can able to see/get both column's value in ExtractValuesFromItem method.
Please check below link for more information.
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/grid/reading-read-only-column-in-ragdrid-update.aspx

A: I've solved this by removing the ReadOnly attribute from the GridBoundColumn, and instead, disabling the editable textbox in the ItemDataBound event of the datagrid.
ASPX
<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="BillingRate" HeaderText="Rate" />

ASPX.VB
Protected Sub grdWorkServices_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As GridItemEventArgs) Handles grdWorkServices.ItemDataBound
        If TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem AndAlso e.Item.IsInEditMode Then
            Dim l_oGridDataItem As GridDataItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridDataItem)

            Dim l_oTextBox As TextBox = DirectCast(l_oGridDataItem("BillingRate").Controls(0), TextBox)
            l_oTextBox.Enabled = False
        End If
End Sub

Q: Flutter - Texts I put in Wrap do not stand side by side I have a code like this:
  AnimatedOpacity(
    opacity: _usefulInterfaceContent ? 1 : 0,
    duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 1000),
    child: Padding(
      padding: const EdgeInsets.all(7),
      child: Wrap(
        direction: Axis.horizontal,
        children: [
          InkWell(
            child: Text("Zoro ", textAlign: TextAlign.center, style: TextStyle(fontSize: 19, color: Colors.white, fontFamily: "Montserrat")), // !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
            onTap: () {
              Timer(const Duration(milliseconds: 100), () {
                setState(() {
                  AssetsAudioPlayer.newPlayer().open(
                    Audio("assets/audios/ZoroEasterEggSound.mp3"),
                    autoStart: true,
                    showNotification: true,
                  );
                  ezAnimation = EzAnimation(200.0, 230.0, const Duration(milliseconds: 1500), curve: Curves.fastLinearToSlowEaseIn, reverseCurve: Curves.fastLinearToSlowEaseIn);
                  ezAnimation.start();
                });
              });
              Timer(const Duration(milliseconds: 1500), () {
                setState(() {
                  ezAnimation = EzAnimation(230.0, 200.0, const Duration(milliseconds: 1500), curve: Curves.fastLinearToSlowEaseIn, reverseCurve: Curves.fastLinearToSlowEaseIn);
                  ezAnimation.start();
                });
              });
            },
          ),
          Text("gibi kaybolmaman için rehberin olacağız! Basit ve özelleştirilebilir bir arayüz ile birlikte özgürlüğünüzün tadını çıkarın! ⚙ ", textAlign: TextAlign.center, style: TextStyle(fontSize: 19, color: Colors.white, fontFamily: "Montserrat")), // !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
        ],
      ),

As you can see, there are two Text in Wrap. But these two Texts do not stand side by side. It looks like this:

Text with "Zoro" has moved up a bit. How can I solve this problem? I want to see both Texts as combined paragraphs.

A: note: I may have not fully understood your question correctly.
The problem is that you're using the Wrap() widget, what this widget does is that if there's not enough space to fit all children in the main axis, it will wrap to the next line. That's exactly what's happening here.
From the documentation:

...If there is not enough space to fit the child, Wrap creates a new
run adjacent to the existing children in the cross axis.

If you run your code in Chrome you will see, that when I open a maximized window, then the text is together:

However, once I minimize the window, then the text Wraps:

So, don't use the Wrap() widget.

A: Due to the amount of text within the second Text widget, it takes up the full width of the view, and therefore is pushed to the next line.
If I understand your goal, you should be able to accomplish what you want with RichText instead of Wrap:
  RichText(
    textAlign: TextAlign.center,
    text: TextSpan(children: [
      TextSpan(
        text: "Zoro ",
        style: TextStyle(
          fontSize: 19,
          color: Colors.white,
          fontFamily: "Montserrat",
        ),
        recognizer: TapGestureRecognizer()
          ..onTap = () {
            Timer(const Duration(milliseconds: 100), () {
              setState(() {
                AssetsAudioPlayer.newPlayer().open(
                  Audio("assets/audios/ZoroEasterEggSound.mp3"),
                  autoStart: true,
                  showNotification: true,
                );
                ezAnimation = EzAnimation(
                    200.0, 230.0, const Duration(milliseconds: 1500),
                    curve: Curves.fastLinearToSlowEaseIn,
                    reverseCurve: Curves.fastLinearToSlowEaseIn);
                ezAnimation.start();
              });
            });
            Timer(const Duration(milliseconds: 1500), () {
              setState(() {
                ezAnimation = EzAnimation(
                    230.0, 200.0, const Duration(milliseconds: 1500),
                    curve: Curves.fastLinearToSlowEaseIn,
                    reverseCurve: Curves.fastLinearToSlowEaseIn);
                ezAnimation.start();
              });
            });
          },
      ),
      TextSpan(
        text:
            "gibi kaybolmaman için rehberin olacağız! Basit ve özelleştirilebilir bir arayüz ile birlikte özgürlüğünüzün tadını çıkarın! ⚙ ",
        style: TextStyle(
          fontSize: 19,
          color: Colors.white,
          fontFamily: "Montserrat",
        ),
      )
    ]),
  )

If, on the other hand, you don't exactly want to combine the texts, but just have the second paragraph sit next to the "Zoro " text, you can simply use a Row:
Row(
  children: [
    InkWell(
      // Your "Zoro " text widget, etc.
    ),
    Expanded(
      child: Text(
        "... The remaining text",
        style: // Your style
      ),
    ),
  ],
)

Serbia:TPP TENT air monitoring system project results, managed by Vattenfall and supported by EU
9. October 2013. / News Serbia Energy
The presentation "Continuous measurement of harmful substances in TENT" was performed today in Thermal Power Plant "Nikola Tesla A" in Obrenovac. This actual ecological theme caused big interest among the experts, so besides the representatives of "Siemens" and "Vattenfall", also the experts from "Serbia Power Utility Company" and EC TENT took part at the content presentation.
The presentation was organized after the project completion of measurement of harmful substances emissions at the levels of entire infrastructure in EC TENT, which was realized with the European delegation funds.
-The project was very required and specific for the realization, considering the plants dissection in EC TENT, but also the possibility of units' standstill when it was necessary some operation to be done. It was completed with high quality, on time and within the limits of predicted funds, thanks to the responsible participation of all parts that were included in it. Here I refer, particularly, at the representatives of the European delegation, than at the engineer who supervised the project (company "Vattenfall"), at the work constructer (who got the job at the tender realized and organized by the European delegation), but also the engagement of TENT experts as user. This project represents the significant step in the further adapting of all demands set in the EU directives, namely toward the reaching the European level when it comes to the environment protection – said Milan Petkovic, deputy director of EC TENT.
Expressing gratitude to all project participants, Petkovic said that EC TENT during the past years had huge help and support of the European delegation in Belgrade in the realization of the significant ecological projects. Thanks to that, as he said, many serious and extent operations were done in the ecological sector, starting from the anechoic transport and ash handling system in the units TENT B, over the electro filters reconstruction in the units A4, A5 and A6 in TENT A, to the ash handling system and electro filter reconstruction in the unit A5 in TPP "Kolubara", which was partly funded from its own sources.
-In front of us are the projects of electro filters reconstruction in the TENT A3 unit, which are planned for the next year, also with the EU funds(of course EPS takes part ). Also the electro filters reconstruction in the unit TPP "Morava" in Svilajnac waiting for us in 2015. It has to be mentioned also the project of wastewater treatment in TENT B, which is currently in the initial realization phase. In agreement with the European delegation, we have started preparation of the technical specification and tenders for the project of wastewater treatment in TENT A. With the support of European delegation we succeed in dynamics and continuation maintaining when we talk about the projects of environmental protection, in order to complete all criteria and satisfy all directives, which are actual and effective in Europe in that sector – concluded Petkovic.
