Here is a Brief (and approximate) History of the Albany Bulb from the University of California, Berkeley.
• Pre-1800 Beginning in about AD 500, the area was inhabited by native peoples, the
Costanoans (also known as the Ohlone). They were sedentary hunters and gatherers, who
exploited rich shellfish populations on the bay mudflats. Their shellmounds and grinding
mortars are still visible in areas near Albany Hill. The introduction of the Mission system to
the San Francisco Bay region in the 1770’s and the expansion of European settlements led to a rapid and devastating decline in their populations. The last Costanoan tribelets living an
aboriginal existence had disappeared by 1810.
• 1769-1849 (Gold Rush) Area was owned by Luis Peralta, as a Spanish land grant.
• 1853 John Fleming bought 50 acres on what became known as Fleming Point (present site of the Golden Gate horse racing track and parking lot) for a cattle ranch.
• Late 1800’s The US Congress and State of California granted the tidelands and adjacent
shorelines to railroad companies for development. The Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe
Railroad became the main property owner of the Albany waterfront, and remained so until
the 1990’s.
• 1879 A plant opened on Fleming Point to produce explosives for use in gold mining. The
operation was notorious for numerous accidental explosions. The Eucalyptus trees growing
behind Albany beach and on Albany Hill were planted to help muffle the blasts. The
explosives plant was closed in 1905. A train depot named Nobel Depot was located near
Albany Hill and provided rail access to the plant; the depot was named after Alfred Nobel,
the inventor of dynamite and the namesake of the Nobel Peace Prize!
• 1908/09 What remained of the original Spanish land grant (Oceanview) was incorporated
and named Albany.
• 1919 The State Lands Commission granted the city of Albany a 100-year tidelands lease to
develop a harbor to promote commerce and navigation.
• 1920-1940 The shoreline remained relatively undeveloped and was used as a recreational
area by local residents.
• Late 1930’s A horsetrack operator was granted a lease from the State to build a track on
Fleming Point. The Point’s bedrock hill was blasted away during construction of the track
and the northern parking lot. The lot was created by filling marsh with rock and soil
removed from the Point. Fleming Point is one of the only remaining segments of San
Francisco Bay’s original shoreline. Golden Gate Fields opened in 1947.
• 1950’s Albany zoned its waterfront for industry. A small dump, established at the base of
Buchanan street in the early 1900’s, expanded greatly in size after 1961 when the State
relaxed its harbor requirement for Albany’s tideland lease.
• 1963-1984 Much of Albany’s present shoreline was created by filling the mudflats with
debris from construction and highway projects, creating the “plateau, neck, and bulb.” As a
result of racetrack construction and the landfill operation, Albany’s shoreline grew from 50
to 160 acres. Illegal dumping of plant material in the 1970’s led to high levels of methane
emission and fires.
• 1984 Litigation between the city of Albany and the landfill operator lead to the landfill’s
closure.
• 1986 The State declared the tidelands part of the “public trust”, preventing further filling of
the Bay.
• 1990’s A sizeable community of homeless people became established on the Albany Bulb,
and it became a mecca for artists who created numerous pieces of outdoor “folk art” from
found natural objects and human debris. A team of artists named Sniff have been responsible for much of the artwork. In 1999, the homeless community was evicted by the City of Albany, but the public art remains. The Albany Beach and Bulb became a popular site for off-leash dog walking.
• 1992 The State began purchasing land for a future park, encompassing the shorelines of
Emeryville, Berkeley, Albany, and Richmond. When completed, the park will encompass
1,817 acres with 5 miles of public access to the bay shoreline.
• 1997 Catellus Corp., the real estate branch of the Santa Fe Railroad sold the racetrack to its operators and the rest of its shoreline property to the State for the proposed Eastshore park. It will pay up to $3.5 million for environmental remediation.
• 2002 The proposed plan for the bayside Eastshore State Park was released for public
comment. The plan was hotly debated by various stakeholders (user groups) including
environmentalists, sports field advocates, dog walkers, and artists. On December 6, 2002,
the general plan for the park was approved by the State Parks Commission, and it was
designated a State Seashore. The final version of the plan contained several last minute
concessions to environmentalist groups lead by the Sierra Club and Save the Bay. The
Albany “Let It Be” organization formed to protest plans for developing the Bulb for water
sports and sports fields, at the expense of off-leash dog walking, public art, and wildlife
habitat. Construction of sports field on the Plateau is reconsidered.
• 2003-present Albany Bulb remains unchanged. Status of the project is unknown.
As flickr's CoastRanger, let me say this about the future of Albany's waterfront:
"I am against developing resorts, casino gambling, retail malls, high rise hotels and condos on our waterfront. I believe the racetrack should go and that this entire area be reclaimed and preserved as the jewel of the East Shore State Park, open to all of nature and humankind forever.
My taxes an Albany homeowner would go up 400 dollars per year if the Racetrack Interests go. I am more than willing to help pay for this dream. In fact, I consider it a great bargain. It will be my privilege and honor to be able to give so little to save so much!
If we allow those greedy hands to develop the land, it will be lost forever and our spectacular waterfront can never be reclaimed."

Acquired these sandals for the summer. Unfortunately, these should have been named "Tight Fit", as they are very tight for size 4 1/2. Also the strap is very short. But they seem to be stretching, so hopefully I'll be ble to wear them for more than an hour.

Around five thousand vegans march through Central London, from Hyde Park to Parliament Square, in a protest organised by Surge, The Save Movement and HeartCure Collective calling for an end to animal exploitation and to promote veganism as a healthy, compassionate way of living.
From this photographers point of view the event was a pleasure to shoot, with a friendly and very noisy crowd carrying mostly self-made banners and wearing some great - and sometimes truly hideous - costumes.

The London School of Exploitation Under Occupation: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) Students Stand Against Exploitation and Corporate Education: Vera Anstey Suite: Old Building, London School of Economics, London, March 20, 2015.
Statement from the Occupation:
Why we are occupying
We have have occupied the Vera Anstey Suite, the central meeting room of the university administration, to demand a change to the current university system.
LSE is the epitome of the neoliberal university. Universities are increasingly implementing the privatised, profit-driven, and bureaucratic ‘business model’ of higher education, which locks students into huge debts and turns the university into a degree-factory and students into consumers. LSE has become the model for the transformation of the other university systems in Britain and beyond. Massive indebtedness, market-driven benchmarks, and subordination to corporate interests have deeply perverted what we think university and education should be about.
We demand an education that is liberating – which does not have a price tag. We want a university run by students, lecturers and workers.
When a University becomes a business the whole of student life is transformed. When a university is more concerned with its image, its marketability and the ‘added value’ of its degrees, the student is no longer a student - they become a commodity and education becomes a service. Institutional sexism and racism, as well as conditions of work for staff and lecturers, becomes a distraction for an institution geared to profit.
We join the ongoing struggles in the UK, Europe and the world to reject this system that has changed not only our education but our entire society. From the occupations in Sheffield, Warwick, Birmingham and Oxford, to the ongoing collective takeover of the University of Amsterdam– students have made clear that the current system simply cannot continue.
We are not alone in this struggle.
Why Occupy?
In this occupation we aim to create an open, creative and liberated space, where all are free to participate in the building of a new directly democratic, non-hierarchical and universally accessible education: The Free University of London.
The space will be organized around the creation of workshops, discussions and meetings to share ideas freely. Knowledge is not a commodity but something precious and valuable in its own right. And we hope to prove, if only within a limited time and space, that education can be free.This liberated space should also be a space for an open discussion on the direction this university and our educational system as a whole is heading. We want to emphasise that this process is not only for students, and we encourage the participation of all LSE staff, non-academic and academic.
We base our struggle on principles of equality, direct democracy, solidarity, mutual care and support. These are our current demands which we invite all to openly discuss, debate and add to.
1 - Free and universally accessible education not geared to making profit
We demand that the management of LSE lobby the government to scrap tuition fees for both domestic and international students.
2 - Workers Rights
In solidarity with the LSE workers, we demand real job security, an end to zero-hour contracts, fair remuneration and a drastic reduction in the gap between the highest and lowest paid employees.
3 - Genuine University Democracy
We demand a student-staff council, directly elected by students and academic and non-academic staff, responsible for making all managerial decisions of the institution.
4 - Divestment
We demand that the school cuts its ties to exploitative and destructive organisations, such as those involved in wars, military occupations and the destruction of the planet. This includes but is not limited to immediate divestment from the fossil fuel industry and from all companies which make a profit from the Israeli state’s occupation of Palestine.
5 - Liberation
We demand that LSE changes its harassment policy, and to have zero tolerance to harassment.
We demand that LSE does not implement the Counter Terrorism Bill that criminalises dissent, particularly targeting Muslim students and staff.
We demand that the police are not allowed on campus.
We demand that LSE becomes a liberated space free of racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia and religious discrimination.
We demand that the school immediately reinstates the old ethics code and makes it legally binding, in line with the recently passed SU motion.
We demand that the school ensures the security and equality of international students, particularly with regards to their precarious visa status, and fully include them in our project for a free university.

Children across Greater Manchester have watched a compelling play warning them about criminal exploitation from county lines organised crime groups.
Greater Manchester’s Programme Challenger – a joint partnership to tackle serious and organised crime together – funded Rochdale-based theatre company Breaking Barriers to deliver the series ‘Crossing the Line’ to children in year six at 50 primary schools.
Over a month the play was rolled out to schools in Bury, Salford, Stockport, Tameside and Trafford for children to learn how to spot the signs of exploitation to prevent and protect them from criminal gangs seeking to recruit them as drug mules.
The production explores grooming through a monologue from an 18-year-old man and his younger brother aged 15. He talks about the criminal gang members trying to give him gifts in return for running their drug errands.
‘Crossing the Line’ also incorporated discussions with the children to teach them about healthy choices and relationships, learning to say no, how to handle pressure from older people as well as educate children on where to go for help and advice if they have concerns.
One of the pupils who watched the play said: “The play has helped me see how criminal gangs can manipulate you by trying to make you feel special and part of their family, then force you to do things for them.
“It has taught me to never join a gang as it could harm your future and instead to stay in school, get a good education and job.
“If someone finds themselves in this situation, they should speak to anyone they can trust, such as their mum or dad, a teacher, the police or even Childline.”
A county line is the advertisement of class A drugs via a mobile phone, known as a ‘graft line’, the drugs are then moved by dealers from one area to another as well as to other places across the country.
The organised crime groups will often exploit children to transport the drugs and money profited from its supply.
Detective Chief Inspector Claire McGuire, from Programme Challenger’s Organised Crime Coordination Unit, said: “Young and vulnerable children are sadly targeted and groomed by county lines criminal networks to be recruited to travel across the country to deliver drugs and money.
“They can find themselves in situations that often seem impossible to get out of which can have a detrimental impact on their life and their future.
It’s therefore imperative we intervene as soon as possible, inform children early on to prevent this from happening and protect them from the harm caused by organised criminality.
“Breaking Barriers work is a creative way to grab a child’s attention, it educates and engages with them on the signs to look out for and where to turn to for help and advice. The feedback we have had from them, and the teachers has been brilliant.”
Deputy Mayor for Policing, Crime, Criminal Justice and Fire, Bev Hughes, said: “We must educate children early on the signs of criminal exploitation and this work is vital in doing that.
It’s great to see such a creative play being used to deliver an important message and schools have been a wonderful support with this.
Lots of young people across Greater Manchester are now more aware of the signs of criminal exploitation and know help and support is available to them.”
Parvez Qadir, Director of Breaking Barriers, said: “Crossing the Line tackles difficult themes around grooming and exploitation used by criminal gangs to control young people to travel their drugs for them. Using the power of creativity,
I wrote the piece to tour in schools to educate, inform and offer safe pathways for young people out of child criminal exploitation.
“The facilitated workshop is a safe place for difficult questions for young people, teachers and parents to discuss those
themes.
I hope “Crossing the Line” can educate young people to make safe and healthier choices.”
July 20, 2016--New York City-- Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced that the Task Force to Combat Worker Exploitation has directed 1,547 businesses to pay nearly $4 million in back wages and damages to more than 7,500 workers since its inception in July 2015. The Governor also announced several initiatives to improve worker health and safety, including a multi-agency investigation into the exploitation of dry cleaning workers and a coordinated effort to ban harmful chemicals, such as perchlorethylene (PERC), that are commonly used in the industry. Additionally, the state will launch a new $5 million grant program and RFP for non-profit organizations to expand services to help exploited workers. (Don Pollard/Office of the Governor)

twitter.com/Memoire2cite A Rive de Gier, c'était le charbon, mais surtout le verre. La dernière de la vallée du Gier a fermé en 2007. Et elle s'appelait Duralex. Sed lex. Quel clin d'œil à la loi du marché. Au temps des Celtes et de la Gaule romaine, Rive de Gier est une frontière entre les Segusiaves et les Allobroges. ... Rive de Gier est une ville pionnière de la Révolution industrielle. Le Gier n'étant pas navigable, un Canal (voie navigable) fut ouvert vers Givors en 1779 pour assurer le transport du charbon. Au fil du temps
Au temps des Celtes et de la Gaule romaine, Rive de Gier est une frontière entre les Segusiaves et les Allobroges.
Rive-de-Gier s’écrit sans « s », bien que cette ville occupe, actuellement, les 2 rives de la rivière qui se nomme le Gier.
Le Gier a été couvert sur la majeure partie de sa traversée de Rive-de-Gier et il n’est plus possible de le voir dans le centre de la ville.
Rive de Gier est une ville pionnière de la Révolution industrielle.
Le Gier n’étant pas navigable, un Canal (voie navigable) fut ouvert vers Givors en 1779 pour assurer le transport du charbon. Ce canal, dont il ne reste aujourd’hui plus que quelques vestiges, sera remplacé par la voie ferrée. Rive-de-Gier abrite le premier tunnel ferroviaire sans doute réalisé en France, au lieu-dit Couzon sur la voie qui relie Saint-Étienne à Lyon.
L’ exploitation de la houille
En 1837, les différentes compagnies de mine de Rive-de-Gier vont s’associer pour créer la Compagnie Générale des Mines de Rive-de-Gier afin de pouvoir acheter les pompes nécessaires à l’exhaure des travaux souterrains. Cette compagnie voyant ses réserves de charbon s’épuiser, elle va tenter de s’implanter à Saint-Étienne vers 1840. Elle deviendra dans un premier temps la Compagnie Générale des Mines de la Loire puis après absorption des compagnies stéphanoises la puissante Compagnie des Mines de la Loire.
La verrerie
Si la production du Verre a été longtemps localisée près des forêts qui fournissaient le Charbon de bois nécessaire à la combustion, leur diminution au XVIIIe siècle amené les verriers à se rapprocher des lieux de production de Houille. En 1749, la verrerie Robichon originaire de Franche-Comté s’ est installée à Givors où elle utilisait le sable du Rhône comme matière première et le charbon de Rive-de-Gier comme combustible. En 1788, il existait deux verreries à Rive-de-Gier, elles produisaient des bouteilles et des gobelets. Au début du XIXe siècle, la société Robichon vint s’installer à Rive-de-Gier en rachetant plusieurs verreries, elle introduisit la production de verre plat. Vers 1830, la trentaine de verreries présentes dans la ville employait environ 1200 personnes. La verrerie Richarme fondée en 1826 dans la quartier d’Egarande s’était spécialisée dans la fabrication des bouteilles. En 1877, Petrus Richarme reconstruisit l’usine sur une surface de 7 500 m², et introduisit en France les fours à gaz et à fusion continue de Siemens. L’entreprise a fonctionné jusqu’en 1958 avant d’être démolie. La dernière verrerie, installée dans le quartier de Couzon, Duralex a cessé son activité en 2006 ; elle avait été fondée en 1906 par Emile Hémain avant de fusionner avec Souchon-Neuvesel en 1958 et d’intégrer le groupe BSN en 1966.
La métallurgie
Des ateliers de forge constituent les véritables moteurs économiques de la ville avec les noms de Lucien Arbel, Marrel, Petin-Gaudet… Symbole de cette époque, la cheminée des Forges anciennement Marrel sur le site de Châteauneuf (Loire), construite en 1866 et l’une des plus hautes d’Europe avec ses 108 mètres, a été classée monument historique en 1992.
Rive-de-Gier dans la Seconde guerre mondiale
Pendant la guerre, Rive-de-Gier fut un haut lieu de la résistance, le commandant de l’armée secrète de 1942 à 1945 est dirigé par le Commandant René Gentgen. Plusieurs parachutistes anglais et français furent cachés dans l’école par la directrice pendant plusieurs années. Les Allemands ne les trouvèrent jamais et, René Gentgen put diriger de nombreuses actions en coordination avec les F.T.P. devenu l’AS à partir de 1943 et défila lors de la libération. Une division américaine passa par Rive-de-Gier avant de s’orienter sur Lyon.
Le 20 août 1944 L’Armée Secrète de Rive-de Gier se sera particulièrement distinguée au combat causant la mort du Chef de la Gestapo de Saint-Étienne Neumann dit « Armand Bernard et Laloue Chef de la milice ainsi que la récupération de matériels militaires, de documents, sans omettre la retraite désespérée des Allemands qui en découla.
L’après guerre
Rive-de-Gier a subi de plein fouet la désindustralisation massive des années 1980-90, avec la perte massive d’emplois industriels, la fermeture de la SSFR dont le point d’orgue fut la démolition de l’ancienne Halle sur la ZAC JB Berliet en 1995 (le dernier vestige étant « l’arc de triomphe » métallique, ancien pont en fer puddler sur la place Chipier), et la fermeture récente de la dernière verrerie en activité dans la vallée du Gier (juillet 2008).
Aujourd’hui Rive de Gier se tourne vers son avenir en développant l’activité économique tertiaire et artisanale. Et en mettant les nouvelles technologies au service de son économie et de ses habitant. Tout en développant un fort attrait culturel et social au service des hommes et des femmes vivant sur son territoire.
Monuments et lieux touristiques
– L’ Hôtel de Ville (ancien Hôtel du Canal)
– La statue de saint Eloi : elle représente Éloi de Noyon, patron des orfèvres et des forgerons devant l’ entrée principale de la première usine de l’ entreprise Marrel frères.
– Le canal de Rive-de-Gier à Givors : L’ Hôtel de Ville est installé dans l’ ancien hôtel de la Compagnie du Canal il est classé à l’ inventaire des monuments historiques par arrêté du (arrêté du 24 juillet 1995). Le canal devait primitivement relier le Rhône à la Loire mais seule seule la section Givors – Rive-de-Gier a été achevée et exploitée.
– L’ ancien tunnel de Couzon : percé lors de la construction de la ligne Saint-Etienne- Lyon, c’est le premier tunnel ferroviaire français. Il a été construit par les frères Seguin entre 1826 et 1832. Désaffecté en 1858 Il est classé à l’ inventaire des monuments historiques par arrêté du 2 mai 1995. Sa tête d’ amont figure au cadastre AD 71, lieudit Egarande, et sa tête d’ aval au cadastre AW 44, lieudit Mont Durozeil.
– Le site de Gourd-Marin ( en amont d’ Egarande ), est le témoin de l’ exploitation minière au milieu du XIXe siècle .La tour dite de Warocquère ainsi que de l’ ancien bâtiment des bains-douches qui lui est contigü (cad. AE 56) sont inscrits sur l’ inventaire monuments historiques par arrêté par arrêté du 31 juillet 1995. Le puits a été ouvert au début du 19e siècle. Vers 1850, le système de descente du personnel a été modernisé (la tour abritait une machine inventée par Abel Warocquée, destinée à la descente et à la remontée des mineurs).
– Le bâtiment des bains fut le premier de tout le bassin stéphanois (il contenait une piscine d’ eau chaude destinée aux mineurs) . L’ensemble des installations a cessé de fonctionner en 1953.
– Le chevalement du puits Combélibert : Situé à l’ origine au 31, rue Michelet, il a été déplacé sur le site de Gourd-Marin et inscrit sur l’ inventaire monuments historiques (date de protection : 25/08/1995). Il s’agit probablement du seul chevalement en bois datant du XIXème siècle conservé en Europe.
– Le puits du Pré du Gourd-Marin et le chevalement de Combélibert sont des vestiges rares et particulièrement symboliques de l’exploitation houillère en France.
– Château du Mouillon : Si la partie centrale qui correspond à la maison primitive remonte au XVIIIe siècle, l’ ensemble a été acquis et aménagé successivement par deux familles d’ industriels ripagériens à partir de 1850 . D’ abord par Lucien Arbel puis en 1894 par Jean-Marie Marrel et son fils Henri qui l’ on fait aménager par des décorateurs et artisans parisiens. Le bâtiment, les communs, le jardin et certaines pièces (hall d’ entrée, escalier, ancienne salle à manger au nord, grand salon ovale au sud, boiseries et décor de l’ ancienne bibliothèque au rez-de-chaussée, cheminée en bois du premier étage), sont inscrits à l’ inventaire des monuments historiques par arrêté du 21 mars 1995.
- DURALEX- Duralex International est une entreprise française, implantée à La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin dans le département du Loiret, qui fabrique de la vaisselle en verre trempé. Duralex est également une marque sous laquelle sont vendus les produits fabriqués par cette entreprise : des verres, des assiettes ou encore des plats. Le nom Duralex provient de la locution latine Dura lex, sed lex qui signifie « la loi est dure mais c'est la loi ». Une autre filiale de Saint-Gobain, Pyrex lança son produit Pyrex-Sedlex Créée en 1927 à La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin dans l'agglomération orléanaise, par le vinaigrier Dessaux, la verrerie est vendue en 1930 au parfumeur François Coty, sous le nom de Société des verreries de La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin. Elle sert alors à fabriquer des flacons de parfum. En 1934, elle est acquise par Saint-Gobain. En 1935, l'usine compte 575 salariés. Cette entreprise française, qui a inventé le verre trempé à la fin des années 1930 (le processus est définitivement mis au point en 1944 et le brevet est déposé le 8 mai 19445), fait alors produire par la verrerie de La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin des feux d'éclairages et vitres pour automobiles, sous le nom de Société d'exploitation verrière Beauce-Bourgogne (SEV). Dans les années 1970, elle produit quelques articles sanitaires et dans les années 1980, des hublots de lave-linges. La société imagine un autre débouché pour le verre trempé, la vaisselle, et dépose le 6 juin 1945 la marque Duralex. Le site de La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin est alors transformée en usine de gobeleterie pour produire des « objets en verre pour usage culinaire, notamment en verre trempé ».Le verre de type Gigogne est lancé en 19467. Devenu culte depuis, il est le premier article de vaisselle commercialisé par la marque8. Des générations d'écoliers se sont amusées à comparer leur « âge » à partir du chiffre au fond de chaque verre. Il s'agit en fait du numéro de l'empreinte de l'un des 50 moules servant à la fabrication des verres. Cinquante verres sont ainsi produits sur les presses composées de deux tables, chaque table étant dotée de 25 moules. Mais seulement 48 verres sont commercialisés, deux d'entre eux étant réservés au suivi de la qualité en cas de défaut de fabrication. Le modèle de verre Picardie est lui créé en 1954.
Les années 1960 constituent l'âge d'or de Duralex. Un second site de production est ouvert à Rive-de-Gier dans le département de la Loire, et un spot télévisé de la marque remporte le prix du 12e festival international du film publicitaire de Cannes en 1965. Hors des cantines scolaires, les créations dont les lignes Gigogne et Picardie, sont depuis connues dans le monde entier, jusqu'à la boutique design du MoMA, à New York Le déclin de la marque débute à la fin des années 1970. Saint-Gobain cède cette branche de son activité11 en 1997 au verrier italien Bormioli Rocco.
En 2004, l'entreprise est revendue à un cadre de l'entreprise associé à des investisseurs. Elle est finalement contrainte au dépôt de bilan l'année suivante. L'entreprise est alors rachetée par Sinan Solmaz, un grossiste turc de 38 ans et premier client de la marque. L'usine de Rive-de-Gier, qui avait déjà été menacée de fermeture en 2002 en raison de difficultés financières, et qui employait alors 110 personnes, ferme définitivement ses portes cinq ans plus tard. La société, employant alors 260 salariés, se déclare en cessation de paiement le 1er avril 2008 puis est placée en liquidation judiciaire le 26 juin 2008. À la suite d'une plainte déposée par le mandataire judiciaire dans le cadre de cette procédure, il apparaît que de début 2007 à juillet 2008, Sinan Solmaz a organisé le départ pour la Turquie de machines, de moules et de 85 conteneurs de marchandises. Ces marchandises y ont été vendues à « 20 % de leur valeur réelle », entraînant un manque à gagner pour Duralex de plus de 4,5 millions d'euros. De plus, plusieurs centaines de milliers d'euros de créances dues à Duralex ont été encaissés par Sinan Solmaz sur un compte qu'il possède à Dubaï. Enfin, il a augmenté artificiellement la dette de Duralex au profit de ses entreprises en Turquie, grâce à des jeux d'écriture comptable. L'homme d'affaires, visé depuis 2012 par un mandat d'arrêt européen, est condamné le 3 juillet 2014 à trois ans de prison ferme pour abus de biens sociaux et banqueroute par détournement ou dissimulation et 200 000 € d'amende par le tribunal correctionnel d'Orléans.
Dès le 2 juillet 2008, plusieurs offres de reprise sont déposées au tribunal de commerce d'Orléans. Le 21 juillet 2008, ce dernier décide de confier les destinées de l'entreprise à Antoine Ioannidès, industriel franco-britannique, épaulé par deux cadres de Duralex et la famille Boulos composée d’importateurs grossistes libanais actifs dans la région du Proche et Moyen-Orient. La somme de 3,6 M € doit être investie et 200 emplois préservés sur les 236 que compte Duralex, 36 postes et 14 CDD sont supprimés.
Ce sont finalement 6,2 M € qui sont investis au cours des dix-neuf premiers mois par les repreneurs, et ce sans soutien bancaire. Le premier exercice s'élève à 34 M € de chiffre d'affaires et le bénéfice à 3,4 M €, sur les dix-huit premiers mois. En 2010, les principaux débouchés commerciaux des produits Duralex sont le Proche et le Moyen-Orient, qui représentent près de la moitié du chiffre d'affaires de la société20. En 2014, 87,6 % des activités de Duralex s'effectuent à l'export. En 2017, Duralex subit une difficulté d'ordre industriel. Lors du remplacement de son four, le racleur normalement associé à la machine est installé avec retard. Le ralentissement de la production qui en découle occasionne un manque à gagner important.

Children across Greater Manchester have watched a compelling play warning them about criminal exploitation from county lines organised crime groups.
Greater Manchester’s Programme Challenger – a joint partnership to tackle serious and organised crime together – funded Rochdale-based theatre company Breaking Barriers to deliver the series ‘Crossing the Line’ to children in year six at 50 primary schools.
Over a month the play was rolled out to schools in Bury, Salford, Stockport, Tameside and Trafford for children to learn how to spot the signs of exploitation to prevent and protect them from criminal gangs seeking to recruit them as drug mules.
The production explores grooming through a monologue from an 18-year-old man and his younger brother aged 15. He talks about the criminal gang members trying to give him gifts in return for running their drug errands.
‘Crossing the Line’ also incorporated discussions with the children to teach them about healthy choices and relationships, learning to say no, how to handle pressure from older people as well as educate children on where to go for help and advice if they have concerns.
One of the pupils who watched the play said: “The play has helped me see how criminal gangs can manipulate you by trying to make you feel special and part of their family, then force you to do things for them.
“It has taught me to never join a gang as it could harm your future and instead to stay in school, get a good education and job.
“If someone finds themselves in this situation, they should speak to anyone they can trust, such as their mum or dad, a teacher, the police or even Childline.”
A county line is the advertisement of class A drugs via a mobile phone, known as a ‘graft line’, the drugs are then moved by dealers from one area to another as well as to other places across the country.
The organised crime groups will often exploit children to transport the drugs and money profited from its supply.
Detective Chief Inspector Claire McGuire, from Programme Challenger’s Organised Crime Coordination Unit, said: “Young and vulnerable children are sadly targeted and groomed by county lines criminal networks to be recruited to travel across the country to deliver drugs and money.
“They can find themselves in situations that often seem impossible to get out of which can have a detrimental impact on their life and their future.
It’s therefore imperative we intervene as soon as possible, inform children early on to prevent this from happening and protect them from the harm caused by organised criminality.
“Breaking Barriers work is a creative way to grab a child’s attention, it educates and engages with them on the signs to look out for and where to turn to for help and advice. The feedback we have had from them, and the teachers has been brilliant.”
Deputy Mayor for Policing, Crime, Criminal Justice and Fire, Bev Hughes, said: “We must educate children early on the signs of criminal exploitation and this work is vital in doing that.
It’s great to see such a creative play being used to deliver an important message and schools have been a wonderful support with this.
Lots of young people across Greater Manchester are now more aware of the signs of criminal exploitation and know help and support is available to them.”
Parvez Qadir, Director of Breaking Barriers, said: “Crossing the Line tackles difficult themes around grooming and exploitation used by criminal gangs to control young people to travel their drugs for them. Using the power of creativity,
I wrote the piece to tour in schools to educate, inform and offer safe pathways for young people out of child criminal exploitation.
“The facilitated workshop is a safe place for difficult questions for young people, teachers and parents to discuss those
themes.
I hope “Crossing the Line” can educate young people to make safe and healthier choices.”

IT WAS A FUN APRIL 1ST at the SAINT STUPID DAY'S PARADE in SAN FRANCISCO. There is no other event in the world where folks gather to HAVE FUN and poke fun at the embedded horrid capitalist exploitation of the world.
Everyone came in costume...ADDA came as a REPUBLICAN BURNING IN HELL (which we all know in our deepest of hearts is where all REPUBLICANS and RIGHT WING A-0's will end up) ! i shouted MERRY CHRISTMAS to all the business people in the Financial District who stopped and stared in utter confusion.
Everyone gathered at the EMBARCADERO then proceeded to the WORKERS STATUE. There in honor of CLOWNS WITHOUT BOARDERS they put a 'red clown nose' on one of the statues! ADDA DADA got the crowd cheering 'HERO' for the guy who put the nose on the statue.
then to the PACIFIC STOCK EXCHANGE for the wonderful spoof...SOCK EXCHANGE...everyone exchanged socks & then tossed them in the air! One of ADDA DADA's Christmas SANTAs socks were found and declared a SAINT STUPID HOLY RELIC! (you so know i loved that)
Onward we went to the BANKER's HEART...the big, black marble rock in front of BANK OF AMERICA...where everyone tossed their loose pennies at the banker's black greedy heart! (This is just like the muslims in Mecca who toss rocks at the black stone which represents the devil..)
There was tons of good fun, great signs, good vibes, political statements, and incredible costumes
Good luck that the videos go on JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE tonight
Points to be noted
* There are still hundreds of thousands of Web pages serving up buggy Shockwave Flash (.swf) files that could be exploited by hackers.
* Google dealt with its old buggy files by moving all Flash animation to Web servers that used numerical IP addresses rather than the Google.com domain. This made the cross-site scripting attack impossible on the Google.com Web site. Engineers there didn't even try to repair the buggy Flash files because it's "such a pain" to fix them.
* For Web sites like Google that contain sensitive customer information, they are a very serious problem, but they are not as critical as, say, remote-code execution flaws that would allow unauthorized software to run on a victim's PC.
* At least 10,000 buggy Web sites were still serving up buggy Flash files around mid-March, as developers worked to fix the problem.
Though adobe has upgraded its Flash Player to fix seven vulnerabilities in the graphics and video software widely used for interactive Web pages and banner advertisements.Adobe classifies the patches as "critical" and advises people upgrade to the latest version , 9.0.124.0. All of the vulnerabilities could allow a hacker to execute code on a machine.
One of the vulnerabilities allowed Shane Macaulay to win a laptop in the PWN 2 OWN hacking contest at last month's CanSecWest conference in Vancouver.Macaulay, a researcher with the Security Objectives consultancy, used the Flash flaw to break into a machine running Windows Vista. He later said 90 percent of computers worldwide were vulnerable.
Exploiting vulnerabilities in Flash software has become an increasingly popular vector for hackers to compromise machines for two reasons. Most Web browsers have the Flash Player installed, and malicious banner advertisements -- which can achieve wide distribution on Web sites pulling ads from a network -- can take advantage of those vulnerabilities.
"These vulnerabilities could be accessed through content delivered from a remote location via the user's web browser, e-mail client, or other applications that include or reference the Flash Player," Adobe wrote in its advisory.
If a malicious banner advertisement is widely distributed, a hacker has the potential to take control of many PCs. Lately, these "malvertisements" have been popping up everywhere, wrote Sandi Hardmeier, a Microsoft Most Valued Professional and security blogger.
On Sunday, Hardmeier wrote that she observed a fake FedEx banner ad that causes a user to be redirected to a Web site selling dodgy security software.
On Tuesday, security vendor Websense blogged about a malicious banner ad on the Web site of USA Today, a national U.S. newspaper. Websense wrote that if a user simply viewed the malicious ad, the person's browser window is immediately minimized, and a warning appears saying the computer is infected with malware, according to a description of the attack. Even if the user hits "cancel," the browser is redirected to another Web site selling spyware, which tries to download code to the PC.
In January, Adobe and other software vendors fixed some of their Flash development tools to stop hackers from creating malicious Shockwave Flash (.swf) files that enabled cross-site scripting attacks. That style of attack makes a browser execute malicious code via security weaknesses in a Web site.
The latest fixes focus solely on the Flash Player. One fix adds a feature Adobe calls a "cross-domain policy check." The Flash Player uses policy files, which allow it to use content from other domains. The feature allows for more richer capabilities in the player, wrote Deneb Meketa, a Flash engineer for Adobe, on the company's developer site.
But hackers can also build a policy file. If the policy file is accepted by the server, the hacker can then write a ".swf" file and load other data from outside the particular server's domain, which could lead to a security problem.

U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill, the top Democrat on the Senate Aging Committee, used a hearing today to examine the financial exploitation of seniors and the difficulty of prosecuting family members who exploit and defraud their elderly family members.

It would seem that, even after their deaths, these poor people are still being exploited by others who find themselves in a more privileged position than them, only this time it's the entertainment industry.
I'm all for people stopping piracy, but this really is a low level to stoop to, on a par with the Daily Mail, and I find it utterly repulsive.

Une vue militaire, drôle de titre avec « Panorama militaire »
Deux stéréos, dont une malheureusement non exploitable.
Un spécialiste des uniformes dates ces clichés entre 1893 et 1905.
Je reste sur mon idée première, miliaires, Versaillais de 1871 devant les portes de Paris.
Grosse similarité avec le document joint en commentaire, une vue de soldats en 1871.
Il est évident que c’est une mise en scène.
Qui n'est pas sans rappeler le style d’Alexandre Bertrand, et sa série sur les cheminots. Un espace très limité où tous ustensiles sont rassemblés pour nous informer sur l’identité des personnages.
Un mitron vaquant à ses occupations, le brancardier en attente avec son cheval équipé pour le transport de soldat inerte alors que se joue un drame à l’infirmerie dans l’indifférence totale, avec un blessé.

A military view, a strange title with "Military Panorama"
Two stereos, one of which unfortunately cannot be used.
A uniform specialist dates these photos between 1893 and 1905.
I stick to my initial idea: military personnel, Versailles soldiers from 1871 in front of the gates of Paris.
Clearly similar to the document attached in the comments, a view of soldiers in 1871.
It's obviously staged.
Which is reminiscent of the style of Alexandre Bertrand and his series on railway workers. A very limited space where all the utensils are gathered to inform us about the identities of the characters.
A baker going about his business, the stretcher-bearer waiting with his horse equipped for transporting an inert soldier while a drama unfolds in the infirmary amidst total indifference, involving a wounded man.
Unidentified photographer. (Note the stamp on the cardboard on the right: World's Fair???)
Les petites et moyennes exploitations agricoles tunisiennes sont souvent caractérisées par un capital très faible et par un niveau de risque financier très élevé à cause des risques climatiques et de l’endettement récurrent. Dans la majorité des exploitations, on constate aussi une confusion entre les comptes de l’exploitation agricole proprement dite et ceux de la famille du chef d’exploitation, tant au niveau des recettes qu’à celui des dépenses.

This photo was taken in Lisle, IL on September 29th, 2021, at 4:33 pm. I was walking through Valley Forge Park, past what I believe is a Shagbark Hickory tree (Carya ovata). About half of the leaves had these spores on them, which I was unable to identify. The one in the picture had already fallen off the tree, so it was brown in color. However, the leaves of the hickory tree that had these spores on them were less green in color than the leaves without them. The leaves with the spores on them were more yellow in color. This shows a symbiotic relationship between the leaves and the spores. This means that these two species physically interact closely together. More specifically, the relationship between these is most likely exploitation, as the spores benefit from the leaves, and the leaves are negatively impacted by the spores. The spores use the leaves as a food source and for protection. The leaves with the spores were already turning yellow, when they shouldn’t have been changing color at that point in the season. This most likely means the spores are using the leaves as a food source and leaving the leaves with fewer nutrients.

The 150th anniversary of the death of Mozart on 5 December 1941 celebrated the Nazi regime with a "Mozart week of the German Reich", on the occasion of which Mozart for propaganda purposes shamelessly was exploited. In his speech at the Vienna State Opera Joseph Goebbels said for example. "The music of Mozart is one of those values that our soldiers defend against the from the east attacking barbarians". The performances themselves, IDOMENEO under Richard Strauss, FIGARO under Karl Böhm in the ball room, Così fan tutte as a guest performance of the Munich Opera under Clemens Krauss, employed a number of singers of the Vienna Mozart ensemble, which was not only formed in the postwar period, but already in the Third Reich. As guest staged the Prussian general theater manager Gustaf Gründgens THE MAGIC FLUTE.
Mozarts 150. Todestag am 5. Dezember 1941 beging das NS-Regime mit einer "Mozart-Woche des Deutschen Reiches", bei der Mozart schamlos für Propagandazwecke ausgenutzt wurde. In seiner Rede in der Wiener Staatsoper sagte etwa Joseph Goebbels: "Die Musik Mozarts gehört zu jenen Werten, die unsere Soldaten gegen die aus dem Osten anstürmenden Barbaren verteidigen." Die Aufführungen selbst, IDOMENEO unter Richard Strauss, FIGARO unter Karl Böhm im Redoutensaal, COSÌ FAN TUTTE als Gastspiel der Münchener Oper unter Clemens Krauss, beschäftigten etliche Sänger des Wiener Mozart-Ensembles, das sich nicht erst in der Nachkriegszeit, sondern bereits im Dritten Reich formierte. Als Gast inszenierte der Preußische Generalintendant Gustaf Gründgens DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE.

Vienna State Opera
Vienna State Opera, 2012
Vienna State Opera in the evening twilight
The Vienna State Opera was the first major building on the Vienna ring road and was on 25 May 1869 opened with Mozart's "Don Juan" in the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Elisabeth. The Vienna State Opera is now considered one of the most important opera houses in the world with the largest repertoire. From the Orchestra of the Vienna State Opera, the Vienna Philharmonic are recruited.
History
The Vienna State Opera was planned by August of Sicardsburg and Eduard van der Nüll. The architects, however, were heavily criticized for the building, so that van der Nüll committed suicide and shortly afterwards died of Sicardsburg of a stroke.
The official opening took place on 25 May 1869 with Mozart's "Don Juan". Gradually, the popularity of the Staatsoper rose, under the director Gustav Mahler it obtained a first climax.
At the time of the Second World War, the State Opera suffered enormously. From 1938 to 1945 many employees were persecuted, expelled and murdered. In addition, many pieces were not allowed to be performed anymore. Finally, shortly before end of war the building was massively destroyed by bombing. On 5 November 1955, the opera was re-opened with a performance of Beethoven's "Fidelio".
Architecture
The historical part of the front at the ring road could be preserved from the original building from 1869. The rear, wider part contains the stage, in the narrow front part the auditorium is housed. Eye-catching are the different roof shapes and the loggia, which should emphasize the public character.
Sideways of the central entrance are the portraits of the two architects. Significant is also the ceiling painting "Fortuna, dispersing her gifts" in the stairwell. The seven statues by Josef Gasser represent the liberal arts (architecture, sculpture, poetry, dance, art of music, drama and painting). In the historic tract is located the tea room, which together with the Hoffestloge (Court Ceremonial Lodge) was reserved the Court.

Opera Ball
Once a year, the State Opera becomes the most famous and most solemn ballroom in the world. The Opera Ball is the highlight of the ball season in Vienna and has a great international significance. Many celebrities from all over the world travel to Vienna to celebrate the ball of the artists.
Women wear a long evening dress, men are appearing in tails. Tickets are available from € 250, for a seat in the box must be reckoned with over € 10,000. The highlight of the ball is the Marching In of the Jungdamen- and Jungherrenkommitees (female and male debutants' committee).
Staatsopernmuseum (Museum of the Vienna State Opera)
In Staatsopernmuseum the history of the house from 1869 to 2009 is documented. On display are costumes, stage settings, and important events such as premieres and first performances. The exhibition focuses specifically on the singers. At three information terminals casts and stage settings on all performances since 1955 can be retrieved.
