a feud escalated in Brugg: two men shot from a car another threatened people in a café - now all three are in custody threats and a car accident last weekend in Brugg AG three men are in custody: all incidents are linked to a violent feud The conflicts between two groups of people have been going on for some time: Despite ongoing proceedings and previous escalations the parties involved continued their arguments last weekend the Aargau public prosecutor's office announced on Friday two people fired shots from one car at another They injured a 31-year-old man in the process there was an accident between two vehicles a 35-year-old Kosovar man is said to have made threats in a café This man and the two suspected shooters are now in custody according to the chief public prosecutor's office Brugg Pipes has delivered two double-walled stainless steel corrugated pipelines for use in a mobile LNG production platform in the Gulf of Mexico each 220 m long and weighing 42 tons including the drum were developed to the client’s specifications and certified according to the EN 1474-2 guideline for the safe transfer of liquefied natural gas They are now in service transporting production between the LNG production platform and floating storage units Using the stainless steel corrugated pipes the liquid gas produced is transported from three offshore drilling units to the ship and from there to the rest of the world Brugg’s vacuum-insulated pipe systems feature pressure sensors in the vacuum chamber to enable early detection of pressure drop ExpandRovanco Piping Systems business partners and cousins which is rung whenever there is a million-dollar sale Chad Godeaux and Todd Stonitsch are fulfilling a dream of their fathers in a joint venture between their company Rovanco Piping Systems and a Swiss business as they partner to build a pipe manufacturing plant in the Joliet area Rovanco is a company that has worldwide influence but with an infrastructure product that goes unrecognized by the people who depend on it Motorists on Interstate 55 can see the new plant going up next to Rovanco operations along a stretch of the highway south of the Route 59 interchange Rovanco engineers and manufactures pre-insulated piping systems that can be found on all seven continents One of its primary uses is for district heating systems that use insulated pipe to distribute heat generated from a central location to residences “We steam heat all of Boston,” Godeaux said providing a glimpse of the company’s reach “The whole city is heated by Rovanco pipe.” Rovanco Piping Systems President Chad Godeaux talks about the company’s pre-insulated pipes at Rovanco's plant just outside Joliet The pipe engineered and manufactured just outside Joliet is used in Saudi Arabia it is part of a heating system for a military base Rovanco pipe is used to heat Cornell University It’s used for public schools in the city of Los Angeles It’s a product not likely to ever become a household name but one used for a fundamental human need to stay warm when temperatures drop below tolerable levels The whole city is heated by Rovanco pipe.” Rovanco has teamed up with Brugg Pipesystems a Swiss company that also has worldwide reach with a unique flexible pipe product named Rhinoflex “We’ve been importing the product from Switzerland for 25 years,” Godeaux said “My dad’s dream was to make the product here Rovanco has been a North American distributor of Brugg pipe products since 1998 when Godeaux and Stonitsch’s parents ran the company Rovanco will partner with Brugg to make its product for the first time outside of Europe Rovanco Piping Systems' main office building sits just outside Joliet A manufacturing plant is being built in a joint venture with Brugg Pipesystems in the background In a news release announcing the joint venture Brugg said that the Joliet-area plant will speed up delivery of its product in North America Aside from the business potential of the venture the sons of Rovanco’s founders take some satisfaction in fulfilling an ambition that their fathers had for the company Godeaux’s father was the late Larry Stonitsch is vice president of operations for Rovanco they are partners in the business that they acquired in 2018 “We find ourselves in the position of realizing the dream and aspiration of our fathers,” Todd Stonitsch said The joint venture with Brugg continues the growth of the business that their fathers started when they recognized a need for pre-insulated pipe systems that was going unmet “The evolution of the company has never ceased to continue,” Todd Stonitsch said “It was a focus of both Richard and Larry to provide new and better products always being focused on quality and customer service Rovanco employs 75 people at its facility, which is located in unincorporated Will County near Joliet city limits. The Rovanco operations spread through several buildings totaling 150,000 square feet on a 13-acre site. Rovanco Piping Systems manufactures pre-insulated pipes and for years has been a distributor of flexible pipes produces by Brugg Pipesystems. The two companies in a joint venture will manufacture Brugg products at Rovanco's plant just outside Joliet. (Gary Middendorf) The joint venture with Brugg will add another building and 12 jobs. In a news release announcing the project, Geri Wirz, head of international business at Brugg, said the new plant will allow the company to deliver its flexible piping systems more quickly to customers in North America. “As the leading provider of pre-insulated piping systems in the U.S. and our exclusive partner in this market for many years, Rovanco plays a key role in this partnership,” Wirz said in the release. The manufacturing plant is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2025.

The project will be launched immediately after the end of martial law, according to Dmytro Kysylevskyi, Member of Parliament and Deputy Chair of the Economic Affairs Committee of the Verkhovna Rada. Kysylevskyi emphasized that despite the ongoing war, Ukrainian industrial companies are actively negotiating foreign investments into innovative production projects, many of which are awaiting post-war implementation. The Terpolimergaz–Brugg joint venture, based in Ternopil, will involve a €7 million investment, with new production equipment to be installed in a 4,000 sq. m facility. The project will bring to Ukraine the advanced PEX technology, which involves temperature-resistant internal insulation for plastic piping. Currently, Ukraine meets 100% of its PEX pipe demand through imports. Terpolimergaz produces plastic pipes with diameters ranging from 16 to 1600 mm, along with fittings and connectors. The company employs around 100 workers and increased production by 20% in 2024, reaching 12,000 tons of pipe products. 40% of the output is exported to EU markets. Brugg Group specializes in district heating technologies, natural hazard protection systems, process management solutions for utilities (water, gas, electricity, and wastewater), steel wire ropes for transport and cable architecture, elevator and lifting systems, and cable technologies for e-mobility.

fence and safety protection has been awarded state economic assistance to double its footprint in New Mexico add 60 jobs and create a North American manufacturing hub at its Sandoval County location moved to Algodones from Santa Fe in 2011 and expanded in 2018 It has now outgrown its 25,000-square-foot facility and purchased an additional 13.5 acres for offices and manufacturing capacity in New Mexico The company constructed its first installations made of wire rope net in 1951 as protection systems against avalanches in Switzerland its products protect against a range of natural hazards around the globe as well as the impacts experienced from mining A growing segment of the business is safety protection at motor sports events — all Formula 1 tracks are required to use homologated fencing such as Geobrugg and the company recently provided fencing for the Formula 1 race in Miami and the 4th of July NASCAR event on the streets of downtown Chicago The state pledged $500,000 for the expansion from the Local Economic Development Act (LEDA) job-creation fund with the award paid out as Geobrugg achieves economic development benchmarks The company will invest $8.8 million in the New Mexico project “Geobrugg has identified its New Mexico location as a strategic hub in its global operations,” New Mexico Economic Development Department Deputy Secretary Jon Clark said and New Mexico’s business climate is driving manufacturing growth in the state Geobrugg and other companies are seeing these advantages and choosing New Mexico to expand operations.” “North America is a key market for Geobrugg products to protect people and infrastructure from geohazards,” CEO Geobrugg Group Andrea Roth said Geobrugg has been committed to produce its solutions directly in the United States with our manufacturing hub in New Mexico The planned expansion in Sandoval County will give us the potential to meet the growing demand in the market and offer possibilities for other products from the BRUGG Group such as EV charging cables or wire ropes for cable cars.” Geobrugg’s expansion encompasses a new 20,000-square-foot factory building to increase production capacity and 4,195 square feet of office space Geobrugg is expected to break ground this month with project completion by the end of 2023 Sandoval County is serving as the fiscal agent for the project “Geobrugg North America has grown to over 100 employees in four years and will continue to have a major economic impact on Sandoval County,” said Dist “It is important to invest in projects located in the rural areas of Sandoval County The Geobrugg North America expansion in Algodones will have a positive impact there and throughout the county,” added Dist In addition to providing for Geobrugg’s current and five-year manufacturing growth needs the expansion will also provide space for Geobrugg’s sister company which makes DC (direct current) fast-charging system solutions for electric vehicle charging stations now with facilities in Poland and Switzerland to begin manufacturing in the United States providing products for our rapidly growing Electric Vehicle (EV) charging station market addressing the needs of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Ninety percent of Geobrugg employees are New Mexican residents living in Sandoval and Bernalillo Counties The location is an easy commute from nearby Pueblos and the employee base includes members of the Santo Domingo Staff earn between $36,000 and $300,000 annually This expansion will continue to offer wages of $16 to $80 an hour The Sandoval Economic Alliance has provided the company technical assistance during its expansion planning “Sandoval Economic Alliance is proud of our long-term relationship with Geobrugg and Pierce Runnels We have enjoyed watching and assisting them grow over the years Each time we meet with them we learn more about their international presence and are proud to have them in our community,” said Sandoval Economic Alliance President/CEO Fred Shepherd “They are yet another world-class manufacturing gem in Sandoval County and were the initial manufacturing anchor in Algodones which has now seen additional manufacturing companies establish operations there.” Copyright © 2012-2025 The Los Alamos Daily Post is the Official Newspaper of Record in Los Alamos County This Site and all information

real estate development a focus she maintains today as an attorney and partner at the law firm of Woods Oviatt Gilman to obtain government approval of real estate projects "The end result of my work might be a new business opening up It's rewarding to be part of making a development become a reality and to see our community grow and thrive." and the ability to stand on her own two feet are lessons she learned from her immigrant parents She not only applies these traits to her practice but to volunteer work "One of my children has autism," Brugg says "I put a lot of time and energy into working to improve the quality of life and opportunities for kids with autism to grow to their maximum potential in life They grow up quickly and need services to help them throughout their lives." She has learned many lessons as a result of being a parent of a child with special needs "So many skills that developing kids typically learn without any effort are monumental efforts for kids with autism," Brugg says While real estate is the primary focus of her law practice advocacy on behalf of families with special needs is something she incorporates into her practice "It is rewarding to be able to help other parents address the tough legal issues often faced by families with special needs children Whether it is with planning for the future addressing educational challenges or other issues it's a great feeling to help parents find some much needed peace of mind," Brugg says Community activities: Vice president of the board Jewish Community Federation of Greater Rochester My favorite thing to do in Rochester: I love to watch all the growth and change that our city is experiencing — this is an amazing city Biggest challenge I've overcome and how I did it: Life has been full of tough challenges One thing I've always wanted to do but never have: I would love to learn to paint If I could change one thing about myself it would be: I should probably learn to slow down since I am constantly on the go and always try to squeeze in that one more phone call respond to just one more email or finish one more task before the day is over The talent I would most like to have: I would really love to be able to tell a joke I just can't tell a joke without messing up the punch line The one thing I can't live without: My family One of my favorite sayings is: I don't have a favorite "Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today."

launch the cable in early 2020 Today’s conventional cables typically max out at 550 amps the PURWIL Connect 850+ Cooled was able to manage currents of up to 1,000 amps under laboratory conditions at an ambient temperature of 40° C The cable’s core is a strand arrangement in which finely-layered hollow structures allow the flow of coolant The water-based cooling fluid is non-toxic and largely biodegradable Utilizing a newly-developed CCS2 connector the coolant can be routed directly to the contacts The cooling system allows cable lengths of up to 7 meters BRUGG eConnect says that employing this active cooling in both the charging cable and at the contacts permits a massive reduction in charging time The fast-charging capability opens up the opportunity to charge next-gen high-capacity EVs within 8 minutes or less conventional 125-amp fast-charging stations can take up to an hour to charge 80% of the same battery BRUGG eConnect Manager Albert Martinez said “Thanks to the innovative cooling technology our charging system delivers twice as much power as previous high-performance cables – with higher flexibility at extremely low weight The Alligator-HPC is ready for the powerful new generation of e-vehicles.” Source: Brugg Cables The free webinar sessions from our Spring 2025 Virtual Conference are now available to view on-demand Register for a session below to watch the

see Dustin Hoffman star as Raymond Babbitt repetitive soliloquies confined him to the fictional Walbrook Institute Betsy was a senior at Rochester dating junior Marc Brugg ’90 And I’m still a year ahead of him,” she quips Betsy and Marc parted ways for law school—she to Georgetown and he to Temple In 1993 they married and returned to Rochester to be close to Betsy’s family she displayed more telling signs of a problem At the age when most babies begin to show interest in faces Around the time when most babies begin to babble “She used to cry and scream any time we went to social gatherings and I would spend the evening in the kitchen or in the back bedroom with a screaming child,” Betsy says “We learned she had sensitivity to noise.” “But we were concerned.” The Bruggs took Gabby to the Andrew J Kirch Developmental Services Center at the University’s Golisano Children’s Hospital where she was diagnosed with autism at age 17 months Rob ’93S (MBA) and Christina (Chris) Walker Hilton ’93S (MBA) grew concerned about their firstborn child early on began making unusual and increasingly repetitive gestures and movements would be diagnosed with autism at the Kirch Center though his route to that diagnosis would prove more complicated than Gabby’s Peyton was diagnosed first with epilepsy—as up to a quarter of children with autism are he underwent a partial hemispherectomy at the University’s Strong Memorial Hospital but we knew he was going to have developmental issues,” Chris says the Hiltons took Peyton to the Kirch Center where he was diagnosed with autism at age 2 One misconception about people with autism that remains frustratingly pervasive is the idea that people with autism are not interested in making connections with others who at 13 is a teenager deeply attached to her parents and to her younger sister And she’s kind—someone who will approach a child who is crying to ask if he’s OK What’s missing is not the desire for connection Betsy uses the analogy of “the spaces between.” The spaces between you put the marble in the cup.’ But it’s the little spaces between the marbles that’s missing That’s not something that’s easy to teach.” A nationally recognized clinician in the field of developmental disabilities Hyman chairs the autism subcommittee of the American Academy of Pediatrics don’t rule out the possibility that autism is becoming more common she believes the increasing rates of autism are mostly due to better recognition of the condition and we’re better because parents and teachers are more informed about identifying concerning symptoms earlier,” she said on the program In the Golisano Children’s Hospital’s neurodevelopmental and behavioral pediatrics division Hyman oversees a staff of more than 80 health care providers clinicians diagnose and treat children with many developmental disabilities in addition to autism But of the approximately 3,000 patients seen in the Kirch Center per year the largest single group—about 1,200—is children with autism making the center the state’s largest provider of autism diagnoses and treatment outside of New York City treatment for autism has been a mix of judgment calls and trial-and-error approaches that left many parents feeling rudderless she and Rob “went through a year of pretty much black and white decisions When you’re dealing with a more well known ailment there’s a protocol.” But when Peyton was diagnosed with autism “there were just tons of different ways you could go and people to see Their goal is to develop a model of treatment that’s uniform and reflective of the overall physical health of patients “It turns out that people with autism often have other medical problems that may be related to the underlying biology.” About a quarter of patients is to leverage the resources of large medical centers such as Rochester’s so that “primary care doctors who are practicing away from academic centers know what they need to do to provide the optimal care.” The network includes families in the decision-making process through a family advisory committee of which Chris Hilton is a member Hilton quit her job as a controller at Xerox to take care of Peyton and his younger brother She’s a founder of the 1,000-plus member Upstate New York Families for Effective Autism Treatment and Hyman are all board members—that offers programs to people with autism and their families She knows from her own experience and that of many other parents what patients and their families go through and the kinds of questions and dilemmas that arise Hyman codirects Rochester’s Autism Treatment Network site with Tristram Smith an associate professor of pediatrics and a psychologist There are few people more recognized in the field of autism treatment than Smith “Many people around here don’t realize this,” says Hyman “but if there were rock stars in autism research Smith began his career as a graduate student of the late Ivar Lovaas a psychologist at the University of California at Los Angeles who’s a household name among a sizeable sector of the autism community Smith was working with Lovaas on what became a landmark study on autism treatment The study suggested that intensive behavioral therapy could result in dramatic improvements in communication and functional skills among some of the youngest children with autism—those under 4 “There were earlier studies suggesting that one could teach specific skills to individuals with autism,” says Smith “But this was the first to show that one could alter the course of the disorder.” who has conducted many follow-up studies and kept a close watch on the many replication attempts conducted around the globe since 1987 “there have been some improvements in regard to these studies I think we’ve shown that that finding is for real.” Smith helped develop a model of the so-called Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention chief of the Autism Interventions Research Program at the National Institutes of Health “He and his colleagues demonstrated that EIBI which had previously been evaluated in a specialty clinic setting could be effectively implemented in public school special education classrooms,” she says And because EIBI has become the most widely recommended treatment for autism “this is critical to the autism community.” Smith describes a typical regimen matter-of-factly “The child needs to understand that we’re going to ask him to do things he’s going to get rewarded for that,” he says of the first step The therapist might ask the child to place a block in a bucket but “what he doesn’t know is how to interact with the teacher and deal with an instructional situation.” the therapist will move into teaching new skills “A key area at that point is imitation,” Smith says which lays the foundation for learning a whole range of new skills she moves onto various levels of communication with the ultimate goal of teaching the child to interact with another child There are many ways to perform behavioral therapies for kids with autism but the key is “we’re very systematic in trying to break down skills By working on a whole bunch of different skills in that way we help the kids catch up to other kids by the time they’re ready for school.” The consultation program has also played a key role in placing the University on the forefront of autism research Through the relationships the program’s directors have established with schools Smith and Hyman have been able to recruit many local children with autism to participate in clinical studies “nearly 90 percent of children with cancer are enrolled in clinical trials contrasted with only 5 percent of children with autism.” That disparity is a major reason why researchers still know far less about autism than many other chronic conditions Smith came to Rochester from Washington State University in 2000 Rochester was already among a small number of sites the National Institutes of Health (NIH) had designated as a center for autism research the University had become one of 10 sites for the NIH’s Collaborative Programs of Excellence in Autism initiative to support research into the causes of autism Because autism affects higher functions such as social and communication skills it was long assumed that it must originate in late gestation or early infancy and childhood when significant brain development is taking place Rodier demonstrated that autism’s roots appears to be much earlier—in fact when the central nervous system is just beginning to take shape research associate professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology no was talking about the embryology of autism.” But two insights that Rodier had gleaned from other studies directed her attention to early embryonic development found a far higher than normal rate of autism among a group exposed to thalidomide—the popular morning-sickness remedy in the 1960s that had been linked directly to multiple physical birth defects—very early in gestation Rodier examined a preserved brain stem of a woman who’d had autism She discovered the brain stem lacked two components both arising from the same part of the neural tube which gives rise to the central nervous system Rodier had seen brain stems like this one before—in mice in which researchers had deliberately blocked the expression of a gene called HOXA1 to study its role in brain development Rodier had decided to test the hypothesis that toxins She exposed an experimental group of pregnant rats to valproic acid—an anticonvulsant used in treating epilepsy and long known to lead to birth defects in both humans and rodents and suspected of a role in autism—during precisely the time HOXA1 would have been forming the brain stem then just out of graduate school in pharmacology at the University of Kansas To pursue this research through the NIH’s Collaborative Programs for Excellence in Autism Rodier brought together experts at Rochester “And all of us were asking the same question: What causes autism But we were all coming at it from different angles.” as it invariably does in the search for the origins of autism Presence of the gene variant increased the likelihood of autism And many people with autism did not have the gene variant Stodgell followed up with a study on the interaction of valproic acid and HOXA1 gene expression in which he found that not only did exposure to valproic acid have a significant effect on HOXA1 gene expression also played a role in how the gene behaved whether HOXA1 was “turned on”—the colloquial phrase referring to when a gene expresses itself—or turned off we’ve gone on to looking at other genes and that’s some of the work that’s going on now,” he says He adds that researchers in the global effort to identify relevant genes have identified more than 250 that play a role in autism An expert in neurotoxicology in addition to genetics he suspects the reasons may be environmental He points to a 2011 Stanford-led twin study that made a big impact in the research community by suggesting the environment inside the womb has “a much greater impact than previously thought,” he says “A lot of the funding right now is going back into treatment and phenotyping and characterizing Parents and schools have immediate concerns to deal with the NIH awarded Rochester a Studies to Advance Autism Research and Treatment grant one of only eight such grants in the United States making the University one of eight “STAART centers” in the nation the University accelerated its work on an additional dimension of autism treatment Stodgell notes that when researchers have studied the genetic makeup of individuals diagnosed with autism they’ve grouped together a pretty heterogeneous population “Not all socialization deficits or repetitive even though they get lumped into a number in the diagnostic algorithm,” he says he says a better approach is to study subjects who share particular behaviors that are correlated with autism—behaviors such as restrictive eating habits or sensitivity to certain textures and sounds—and to study the genetics of the particular traits “She was studying cranial nerve dysfunction in autism,” Bennetto says of Rodier which controls the muscles used in facial expressions because many people with autism have abnormalities in the nerve which develops from the brain stem very early in gestation “I was studying nonverbal communication in autism including gestures and facial expressions,” says Bennetto “I started collaborating with them,” she says of Rodier and others in the lab “and it turned out to be a great collaboration.” Bennetto has led multiple studies on sensory processing particularly the processing of taste and smell as well as unusual responses to tastes and smells—either hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity—are among the most common traits of people with autism She works on characterizing these traits—or what’s called the phenotype of the study participants—while Stodgell studies the genotype of participants and their families looking for gene variants that might be associated with particular traits Building on an earlier finding that children with autism process taste and smell differently from their typically developing peers the two are looking at restrictive eating behaviors among children with autism and asking: To what degree are restrictive eating habits due to the patient’s processing of sensory information such as taste and smell To what extent are they merely another instance of the patient’s general insistence on rigid Do the traits run in families or are they particular to autism Bennetto notes that eating involves many senses “If children with autism have trouble integrating that information it’s going to affect their food preferences.” how do these underlying sensory difficulties drive our ideas about treatment?” she adds who are looking to develop new treatment regimens based on the preliminary findings of Bennetto’s and Stodgell’s and other similar studies the key to progress has been collaboration— collaboration among researchers “have really opened up dialogues that are not present at a lot of other places It’s a true example of how translational research occurs.” She says there are many issues that remain to be addressed and in terms of access to what the research has provided Throughout their college journey, Lafayette students have a dedicated resource in the Gateway Career Center From organizing alumni

champions for the third time in five years after the Pro League season was officially ended.Belgium's Pro League has voted to end the season and crown Club Brugge as champions A General Assembly met virtually on Friday and clubs ratified last month's decision from organizers to end the 2019-20 season, which has been halted since March amid the coronavirus pandemic All 16 teams in the top-flight had played 29 regular-season matches before the campaign was stopped with Brugge 15 points clear of Gent at the top of the table The league season has now been declared over and no playoffs will be played to determine final positions as is usually the case in Belgium's top division It is Brugge's third title in the past five seasons and they will directly enter the group stage of next season's Champions League. Gent go into the third qualifying round of Europe's premier club competition by virtue of being one point clear of third-placed Sporting Charleroi when the league was halted Despite the league being brought to an end the general assembly concluded they would "try to play" the Belgian Cup final "during the last weekend authorized by UEFA and before the start of the regular competition for the 2020-21 Pro League season" Antwerp are fourth in the league but will gain automatic entry to the Europa League instead of Charleroi if they are able to play If Brugge triumphs in the final or the match cannot be held Antwerp will instead have to go through Europa League qualifying along with fifth-placed Standard Liege with Charleroi going straight into the group phase as they sat two points adrift of KV Oostende in the standings The basis for this task is a strategically structured process that clarifies the company's positioning and sharpens its brand Brugg Cables describes itself as an innovative Swiss cable and fittings manufacturer with an extensive range of services in power transmission and distribution The company was founded over 120 years ago by Gottlieb Suhner and developed into a [...] What are global infrastructure leaders worried about Keeping a step ahead of the pace of change Managing increasingly complex projects and heightened consumer expectations These were the responses from the ten CEOs or chairs of infrastructure companies from Asia and North America that Spencer Stuart interviewed; in addition it surveyed more than 100 senior executives from around the world asking where they saw the industry advancing with respect to growth Their answers revealed a number of common elements there was consensus that new digital technologies are bringing the “paperless building site” close to reality means investing in new equipment and training; electrical and mechanical engineers could become as important Respondents mentioned budget constraints as a major trend Because of declining public expenditures in many markets infrastructure companies are developing new business models that enhance the role of the private sector most notably through the increased use of public–private partnerships Noted one American CEO in the aviation sector “We are moving from a public infrastructure/government mind-set to a strong business mind-set.” A general concern was that as projects become more complex—and there was no dispute that they are—planning horizons are longer as is the time needed to recoup investment “Positioning the right infrastructure at the right time is quite challenging,” one CEO said “How do you do it in an environment where the future demands you are planning for could be quite unpredictable?” All this is made even more difficult because infrastructure companies must deal with an increasingly diverse and demanding set of stakeholders These stakeholders can quickly mobilize for or against major infrastructure projects Leaders must therefore be attuned to public opinion and be able to engage hearts and minds This includes knowing how to communicate effectively through social media and other platforms the sector is becoming more consumer oriented That is an acquired taste for many leaders but one that they are going to have to get used to it is very hard to win more customers,” one chairman told us “but easy to lose them if you slip in a minor way in delivering a service Invisible excellence is taken for granted.” the question of who is at the helm is more important than ever Successful leaders need to be consumer savvy while also being mindful of financial and regulatory concerns and adept at meeting the needs of partners and other stakeholders They must be able to unlock knowledge and capabilities across the entire organization and to lead cultural change that places consumer awareness and social impact high on the agenda And they need to do all this while working with people across a multitude of disciplines and while not every chief executive can have all of them these do need to exist at different levels of the organization Given the increasing number of functions and disciplines needed to govern the business CEOs must build a skilled and agile senior team And yet our survey found that across the board leaders have difficulty attracting and retaining talent with the right mix of leadership and technical skills The shortage of skills is broad and includes a need for skilled engineers attracting new talent is the top human-capital priority; retaining it is second (exhibit) Here are several approaches that can help: Infrastructure companies tend to promote from within the industry But because the sector is facing change on so many fronts executives also see a need to strategically recruit from outside the sector Engineering skills will always be critical Bringing in talent from outside can help revitalize companies—but that also means competing against top banks will raise the talent bar across the board When it comes time to hire or make appointments even if the intent is to promote from within we often do exhaustive external benchmarking to determine if this person is the best for the job relative to someone outside,” one CEO told us Benchmarking acts as a safeguard against excessive insularity Cultivating a blend of skills and expertise is necessary but so is addressing particular pain points a pressing concern involves the pipeline of engineers who are on the front lines not only of operations but also of managing technology change to find construction engineers who are used to working in the digital sphere (or vice versa) Encouraging people to move beyond their core skills is important to foster an adaptable and engaged workforce To address talent shortages and to compete with other kinds of companies infrastructure companies must build and communicate a solid value proposition Building infrastructure is inherently exciting; it also carries a profound sense of purpose “The best way to attract people is to have great projects,” said one executive but the best people want to work on the best projects.” The global infrastructure industry faces both internal challenges such as keeping pace with technology advancements That is easier said than done—but it can be done Arnaud Despierre and Hugh Thorneycroft lead Spencer Stuart’s initiatives in the global infrastructure industry; Jordan Brugg and York von Wangenheim are members of Spencer Stuart’s global infrastructure group Ardon Jashari could leave Club Brugge this summer to join Italy's elite team This was reported by the Belgian website “voetbalnieuws.be” on Monday Atalanta is ready to spend 20 million euros for the midfielder of the Swiss national team because Manchester City and Liverpool have expressed great interest Jashari will not leave Club Brugg in January The club's people are asking for 20 million euros for Jashari who has a contract until June 2028," writes the Belgian site The 22-year-old Jashari joined Club Brugge in the summer of last year He has played 27 games in all competitions for the Belgian elite club scoring two goals and contributing four assists This site is controlled and managed by KOHA are protected by KOHA's copyright and KOHA retains the reserved rights for them Materials on this site may not be used for commercial purposes without the prior permission of KOHA is prohibited The use of materials from any website or other medium without the permission of the KOHA Group on behalf of all the units that make it up (Koha Ditore is a violation of copyright and of intellectual property according to the legal provisions in force All violators of these rights will face the law The translation of contents into other languages ​​is done automatically and there may be errors Annex of the former Radio Prishtina (first floor) George Bush pn Newshub EnergyWeek The most significant international networking and sales event for the energy sector in the Nordic countries will take place on 21-25 March 2022 and is expected to attract thousands of visitors guests and speakers from more than 20 countries The venue for EnergyWeek will be Vaasa City Hall All EnergyWeek seminars will be held in English and some will also be broadcast live online Researchers and experts from the University of Vaasa will be involved in a variety of ways The event will start on Monday 21 March with the Energy & Environment seminar where a panel discussion on "Uudet innovaatiot ja järjestelmätason kehitys mahdollistamassa Suomen päästötavoitteita ja uutta vientiä" (New innovations and system-level developments enabling Finland's emission targets and new exports) will include Minna Martikainen On Tuesday 22 March, the Research Exhibition of Energy will be held at the Vaasa Art Hall (Senaatinkatu 19) The exhibition will feature a number of our university's research projects and the chance to talk to our researchers about their research topics The exhibition is organised by the University of Vaasa's research platforms VEBIC On Wednesday 23 March, the Energy Transformation seminar will be moderated by Raine Hermans Dean of the School of Technology and Innovation Among the speakers will be Marcelo Godoy Simões our Professor of Flexible and Smart Power Systems will be entitled "Artificial intelligence in control of renewable energy system" Electric aviation is an interesting opportunity for the Kvarken region.
