financial aid our country is strengthening close ties with other partners willing to support Ukraine in its reconstruction and economic recovery efforts having already provided €200 million for modernizing critical infrastructure and continuing to actively engage the international community in Ukraine's rebuilding process Amid the growing interest of French businesses in the Ukrainian market and the deepening of bilateral relations between Kyiv and Paris Ukrinform spoke with the French President's Special Envoy for Aid and Reconstruction in Ukraine How does France assess the challenges of rebuilding Ukraine Which sectors are the most promising for French investors Is the French business community ready to expand its presence in Ukraine And what does the future of the economic partnership between Kyiv and Paris look like Pierre Heilbronn shared his insights on these and other topics during our conversation FRANCE WORKS ON DIRECT FINANCING TO UKRAINIAN MUNICIPALITIES FOR 450 MILLION EUROS - France actively supports Ukraine through various projects and financial contributions There are 19 projects for the restoration of critical infrastructure with your support that were approved How do you assess the effectiveness of the implementation of these projects Are you facing any difficulties or challenges in the process of their implementation - This is one of the tools we've deployed to support Ukraine because we are the second contributor to that we'll probably have the largest amount ever of European support to Ukraine which in fact France finances in a large proportion because of its size in Europe 85% of the support of the international community to Ukraine will be European in 2025 We've deployed and developed other instruments the opening of the mandate of the Agence Française de Développement which is our development agency that has now an office in Ukraine and which works all around the country direct financing to Ukrainian municipalities for 450 million euros for the next three years And there is this tool which is these 200 million on critical infrastructure it shows also that French companies are very much interested in supporting Ukraine because Ukraine is a country of opportunity Yulia Svyrydenko coordinated all the different ministers to select 19 projects out of 70 These projects are to be implemented by 17 companies where they will finance the digital substation which will allow to distribute of electricity for a large part of Kyiv The maximum limit for disbursement of this fund is 18 months which is quite different from traditional development instruments that ordinarily take much longer The geography of projects covers more or less the whole of Ukraine and that's very important also to sustain French public support because when you see that it creates also jobs in French factories this is conducive also to increase support to Ukraine over time THE SECOND SUPERHUMANS CENTER WILL BE OPEN IN ODESA THIS YEAR you participated in the launch of the training of Ukrainian radiation therapists and surgeons at the National Academy of Surgery in Paris Are there other similar examples of French investment in Ukraine's human capital planned - The most important asset of Ukraine is its people in many ways That's very important in the health sector we've been supporting the reconstruction of hospitals We've been also providing medical equipment like mammographs I will also sign with Viktor Liashko seven projects that are part of this fund and relate to healthcare equipment We are very proud that one-third of all the cooperation of Ukrainian hospitals with foreign hospitals are with French hospitals We will finance the second Superhumans center in Odessa after Lviv We supply medical equipment to fight cancer French-made mammograms to Ukrainian hospitals Not every French hospital has such high-quality equipment which is a huge priority for your government here we have defined a rather ambitious program of support for Ukrainian centers it is very important to be part of the functioning of society and this also gives us a certain advantage in the field of health care and economic supply - to make these veterans part of the future of Ukraine without any prejudice regarding disabilities and mental health problems RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS IN THE CHORNOBYL`S EXCLUSION ZONE - France has allocated almost 6 million euros for the development of projects in the Ukrainian nuclear industry you signed a corresponding agreement in the presence of Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko What specific initiatives are planned to be implemented with these funds Is your visit to Chornobyl related to the implementation of such projects - I visited many times Chornobyl in my past lives when I was working in EBRD the safe confinement around the Chornobyl plant has been built by a consortium with French companies So there is a long history around Chornobyl in terms of French support to Ukraine It's too early to tell you a bit about additional support on Chornobyl The money allocated to the nuclear sector it's more about ensuring that nuclear power plants can safely continue to produce electricity and to allow the regulator in Ukraine to say Nuclear energy is a critical source of production of electricity in Ukraine at the level of 60% more or less mirroring the energy mix in France because we have really the same energy mix now and in the future I'm interested in looking again at renewable energy projects my visit to Chornobyl will allow me to better understand what can be done using the potential of the exclusion zone there to meet the energy needs of Ukraine UKRAINE AND FRANCE HAVE THE SAME VIEW ON ENERGY SECURITY -You said that investments in Ukraine will strengthen Europe How do you convince the other politicians or businessmen that Ukraine can become an asset for Europe's strategic autonomy - I think in defense it's quite an obvious case because the European industrial base and the Ukrainian are complementing each other hugely technologically advanced production obviously which adds to the Ukrainian capacity Ukrainians have developed in some sectors incredibly successful equipment in drones obviously a missile factory which is producing day and night quite cheap and effective weapons that are used every day on the front of operational innovation for European industry The issue of how we can build these security guarantees relies both on a very strong Ukrainian army well-equipped but it's also based on a European Union which draws on this capacity and builds and steps up its capacity in terms of production and innovation And I think we have a lot to learn from Ukraine and visits or discussions regarding the needs of the Ukrainian army take place daily We announced €2 billion more last week President Macron mentioned that after his meeting with President Zelensky I think this is an area of mutual interest I think these are more complementary than in a competition and we need more self-sufficiency in Europe It's part of the food safety we are trying to build Probably we are the most aligned two countries on the continent about the future path of energy security in Europe based on the mix of nuclear and renewable I think we have everything to make the continent stronger based on joining efforts and understanding that each of us can do our things France has taken a choice in the last decades to build its capacity both on the nuclear but also on conventional arms We saw that it can be useful in certain circumstances to have the capacity also to rely on European friends and your own capacity to assert your interests While citing and using any materials on the Internet links to the website ukrinform.net not lower than the first

major find gives us fresh insights into Roman infrastructure and daily life in Baden-Württemberg ArchaeoConnect GmbH conducted a rescue dig from May 2023 to September 2024 overseen by the State Office for Monument Preservation (LAD) in Stuttgart This happened before the International Artificial Intelligence Campus construction began on a 30-hectare plot experts thought they’d find a Roman villa they uncovered signs of a busy vicus—a civilian town that served as a stopover stretches from north to south through the site and shows drainage channels characteristic of Roman engineering Böckingen and Wimpfen situated 10 kilometers (6 miles) apart along the Neckar frontier who leads the project’s archaeology team “This is the first time in Baden-Württemberg that such a long road segment experts found remains of buildings with timber frames Intensive agricultural activity over the centuries has destroyed much of the structures leaving only cellars made of wood or stone and five deep wells that used to supply water A standout finding was a 2.9-meter-wide stone structure identified as a temple dedicated to Mercury The ruins yielded pieces of vibrant wall paintings Sybil Harding from ArchaeoConnect GmbH said “A nearly life-sized head of Mercury and a hand holding a money pouch were among the recovered pieces.” The temple’s location along the road shows its dual significance in military and civilian contexts “Building the fort line along the Neckar around 100 CE meant the army needed to develop infrastructure After the Roman Empire’s border shifted to the Upper Germanic Limes these transport routes remained in use until the abandonment of the Limes in the 3rd century,” The vicus acted as a waypoint for travelers and a center for nearby commerce Excavators also found three isolated burials close to the road These burials don’t match typical cemetery practices While archaeologists didn’t find signs of post-Roman settlement they discovered four graves from the 4th and 5th centuries hinting at a late Roman settlement close by The absence of fire damage in the basements suggests the settlement may have been evacuated deliberately The finds at Neckargartach

influence extended far beyond her role as a mother shaping the very fabric of the fashion house and leaving an indelible mark on the luxury industry While her name may not be as recognizable as the brand she helped shape her influence on Chanel’s enduring legacy is undeniable News of Heilbronn’s death was confirmed by the fashion house in a statement A private funeral is set to be held in her honour Heilbronn’s connection to Chanel began with her marriage to Jacques Wertheimer Her role extended beyond the family dynamic as she played a pivotal part in shaping the brand’s strategic direction While Heilbronn largely operated behind the scenes her contributions to Chanel were significant Her influence was felt in various aspects of the brand from product development to marketing strategies Under Heilbronn’s discreet stewardship solidifying its position as a pillar of modern fashion when Chanel was struggling to maintain its relevance in an increasingly competitive and commercialized world it was Heilbronn’s vision that helped guide the brand back from the brink Her deep understanding of fashion’s cultural zeitgeist enabled her to recognize the potential in reimagining Chanel as both a heritage brand and a forward-thinking entity.  Additionally, Heilbronn was part of the brain trust that helped draft the contract that brought on new talent to reinvigorate the design house—most notably, Karl Lagerfeld in 1982 whose partnership with Chanel would go on to define the brand’s modern identity Heilbronn was an influential figure in the expansion of Chanel’s retail presence where the brand saw remarkable growth in the 1980s and 90s the house’s presence in key markets skyrocketed ensuring that Chanel never lost its aura of desirability Eliane

revolutionized fashion with bold modern designs that challenged traditional notions of femininity Chanel’s iconic pieces—such as the little black dress and the quilted handbag—have become symbols of sophistication and understated luxury embodying a sense of classic style that transcends fleeting trends The brand’s ability to evolve while maintaining its heritage is a key reason for its continued success with each collection still echoing Coco’s original vision of simplifying fashion for the modern woman What has kept Chanel’s appeal alive through the decades is its unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, exclusivity, and a unique sense of narrative. Under the direction of Karl Lagerfeld the brand has maintained a balance between honoring its rich history and pushing creative boundaries Chanel’s investment in quality materials and attention to detail ensures that each piece is not only a statement of style but also a lasting investment the brand’s ability to craft an aura of mystique around its products—through limited edition releases and

media directory BusinessEliane Heilbronn, Matriarch Behind Chanel Empire, Dies at 99By Angelina RascouetPublished: November 25, 2024 at 6:17AM EST (Bloomberg) -- Eliane Heilbronn, the matriarch behind the Chanel luxury empire, has died at the age of 99. The fashion house confirmed Heilbronn’s death in a statement Monday, adding that her funeral will be held privately. Born Eliane Fischer in 1925, Heilbronn had an accomplished career as a lawyer. In 1982 she helped draft the contract that brought artistic designer Karl Lagerfeld, who died in 2019, to Chanel. Heilbronn’s sons Alain and Gerard Wertheimer own the Chanel luxury brand, and hold fortunes estimated at about $42 billion each, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Heilbronn in 1947 married Jacques Wertheimer, whose father Pierre was a co-owner of Chanel. They later divorced. Five years later she married Didier Heilbronn, a lawyer with whom she had a son, Charles Heilbronn, who heads the Wertheimer family office Mousse Partners. Twitter feed ©2025 BellMedia All Rights Reserved 184 Alexander Ritschard of Switzerland in three sets 6-1 6-3 in the final that lasted two hours and 22 minutes This was the sixth ATP Challenger triumph of Nagal’s career and the second of the year after the Chennai Open crown on home soil earlier this year It was Nagal who began the final on a positive note. He seized a 4-0 lead early in the first set and gave his opposition a tough time. Ritschard couldn’t keep up and the Indian tennis player secured the first set comfortably. Seeded third, Nagal continued to dominate early on in the second set and opened up a 3-1 lead. However, this time, Ritschard clawed his way back and made it 4-4. The two players were inseparable at 6-6 before Ritschard clinched a hard-fought tie-breaker to draw level. The final set saw both players going toe-to-toe to take charge early on. The fourth game proved to be a tantalising affair as Ritschard saved seven break points to save his service game. Nagal, however, broke his opponent to take a 4-2 lead. Although his Swiss opponent pulled one back to make it 4-3 and saved three match points in the final game, Nagal eventually wrapped up the match. En route to the final, Nagal beat Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia in the opening round in three sets. He then defeated Spain’s Javier Barranco Cosano in the round of 16, Ivan Gakhov in the quarter-finals and fifth-seed Luca Van Assche of France in the semis, all in straight sets. You’ve probably heard of the butterfly effect Imagine shaking a can of mixed nuts and finding that the largest in which larger particles end up on the surface while smaller ones settle at the bottom is just one of many that can be explored hands-on at the Experimenta Science Center in Heilbronn Experimenta is a playground consisting of a changing array of 275 interactive exhibits designed to engage visitors and I recently spent a Sunday afternoon there and got lost in the experiments At the door we were issued RFID bracelets to interact with the exhibits These bracelets allowed us to save images and videos of our experiments The technology added a layer of engagement making the learning process even more enjoyable each experiment is explained fully in English leaving nothing to guesswork or cumbersome cellphone translation We started by exploring the various materials making up a car and a wind studio where we could feel the effects of varying wind speeds and capture fun selfies in a wind tunnel This wasn’t just child’s play; the science behind aerodynamics was right at our fingertips One exhibit that stood out involved exploration of different materials like plastics We navigated a dark room that tested our eyes’ perception of colors and examined how refraction and wavelengths of light allow us to see Another activity tested our sense of smell We identified scents from metal dispensers activated by pressing a button or “World View,” afforded us the chance to study weather phenomena Other stations showcased mold and fungal spores and we could observe microscopic organisms Some stations are more scientific than others One exhibit that made us laugh and think was the dropped-sandwich experiment It tested the age-old question “Does a dropped slice of bread always land butter-side down?” Using different heights and recording our results we engaged in a simple yet effective demonstration of the scientific process and probability Spoiler alert: Nature often conspires against your lunch One particularly whimsical exhibit was the ninja challenge where we tried to sneak up to a computer-screen samurai by stepping carefully on sound-sensitive floorboards It was a playful way to understand sound and movement we found a water playground where kids could build obstacles and observe water flow dynamics by letting small plastic balls travel through a whirlpool and be elevated by high-pressure streams wind-driven constructs that mimic animal-like movements Watching these wooden structures come to life highlighted the beauty of engineering and design Experimenta’s highlight arguably is the Science Dome a combination of a planetarium and theater that is worth a visit on its own visitors embark on a virtual journey through space While we missed out on it during our visit the center also features Germany’s first all-sky cupola offering an immersive look into space when the weather is right Every exhibit is clearly designed to be accessible and engaging for children But I found it particularly amusing to watch adults of all ages find themselves just as captivated as their youngsters My wife and I both found ourselves engrossed in the stations turning into big kids as we experimented and learned a thing or two along the way Our three hours flew by — a sign of the relativity of time perhaps — but we barely managed to scratch the surface of all that Experimenta had to offer Cost: Entry is 12 euros per adult; kids under 18 pay 6 euros or free for children under 3 A not-so-secret tip: Experimenta has its own adjacent parking garage which is more convenient than the nearby city car park Validate tickets at the Experimenta ticket counter for a reduced rate Heilbronn salt mine – owned by German-based Südwestdeutsche Salzwerke AG – announced that it successfully deployed the OEM-agnostic Newtrax advanced proximity detection system (APDS) The company designed the detection system in order to expand the mine’s existing underground safety technology The operation is one of Western Europe’s largest salt producers Newtrax – a leading supplier of digital tech in underground mining – was acquired by Sandvik in 2019 With a remarkable production capacity of nearly five million tons annually Heilbronn faces typical safety challenges due to limited visibility and the interaction of light and heavy vehicles during operations “Safety is a top priority at Heilbronn mine and the Newtrax Advanced Proximity Detection System has proven to be a valuable addition to our operations Its ability to prevent collisions and enhance situational awareness has fulfilled our expectations We are particularly impressed with the system’s scalability and the support provided by Sandvik’s team in Germany which has been instrumental in ensuring successful deployment and operation.” Designed to improve safety and optimize operational efficiency the scalable OEM-agnostic safety solution enables advanced proximity detection providing both advisory and intervention controls for safer and more efficient operations This innovative technology is designed to mitigate the risks of injuries fatalities and collisions involving pedestrians light vehicles and heavy equipment in complex underground environments The system provides unparalleled situational awareness and control by effectively addressing pedestrian safety concerns and mitigating collisions between light and heavy vehicles Malte Huben of Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions added "By effectively addressing critical safety challenges APDS not only safeguards workers but also minimizes downtime enabling smoother and more efficient operations.” APDS further enables mine supervisors and safety personnel to identify high-risk areas and take appropriate actions significantly improving safety and operational efficiency According to Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions this deployment at the Heilbronn mine highlights the significant impact this company is making in elevating safety standards More information is posted on www.home.sandvik/en/. Δdocument.getElementById("ak_js_1").setAttribute("value",(new Date()).getTime()); This is an impressive step forward for safety in underground mining The implementation of advanced proximity detection systems at the Heilbronn salt mine shows a proactive approach to protecting workers I’m curious about how this technology will impact daily operations and if there will be more widespread adoption in the industry Canadian Mining Journal provides information on new Canadian mining and exploration trends corporate developments and industry events LBV Magazine English Edition In the Neckargartach district of Heilbronn a 500-meter-long section of Roman road and various buildings were recently discovered Fragments of a statue of Mercury were also found in one of the stone buildings leading archaeologists to believe it is a temple dedicated to this deity the construction of the International Artificial Intelligence Campus is planned on an area of nearly 30 hectares Since the entire surface is declared an archaeological cultural monument extensive rescue excavations had to be carried out before construction could begin These excavations were conducted between May 2023 and September 2024 by the company ArchaeoConnect GmbH under the professional supervision of the State Office for Monument Preservation (LAD) of the Regional Government of Stuttgart A Roman villa was the target of the search The name of the field ‘Steinäcker’ already indicated the presence of Roman building remains so the site had been considered in the history of research as the location of a Roman villa the area revealed traces of a Roman road that runs through the excavation area from south to north over a length of 500 meters The roadbed is mostly located beneath a paved path but the characteristic drainage channels that accompany a Roman road could be traced along the entire route corresponds to a long-distance Roman road that connected the two Roman camps of Böckingen and Wimpfen many remains of Roman buildings were discovered dug into the ground and built with wood or stone and arrangement of the building remains suggest that it was not a villa but a vicus a Roman civilian settlement along the road Five very deep wells ensured the water supply three isolated burials at the edge of the road What stands out about the site in Neckargartach is that a long stretch of road along with all its associated structures could be investigated Several stone foundations directly located on the road are unusual For a stone construction 2.9 meters wide and at least 3.2 meters long whose stone wall was preserved in the lowest layer this is not the case: in the rubble of the ruin along with fragments of wall painting in color and two coins as offerings several parts of a statue made of sandstone were found It is clearly recognizable by the winged helmet Another fragment shows a hand holding a bag (of money) This is also a typical attribute of the fast messenger of the gods who in the Roman pantheon was the protector of merchants and artisans The location of the temple of Mercury next to the road emphasizes its importance first in the military context and later also in the civil context The construction of the fortification line along the Neckar around 100 AD required the creation of appropriate infrastructure for the army After the Roman Empire’s border shifted to the Germanic Limes the traffic routes remained in use until the fall of the Limes in the 3rd century The exact period of use of the vicus in Neckargartach will not be determined until the materials found are evaluated The absence of marked fire layers in the basements could be a sign of a deliberate evacuation of the small settlement No post-Roman settlement remains were found but four burials from the 4th/5th century point to a late Roman settlement site nearby Baden-Württemberg Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email men

witnessed the third consecutive Heilbronn Conclave—a significant event aimed at bridging ties between Cameroonian youth in the diaspora and their homeland Organized under the leadership of Cameroon's Minister of Youths and Civic Education the gathering saw the participation of high-profile Cameroonian and German stakeholders including representatives from the Cameroonian Presidency This year’s Conclave was not only about connecting with the Cameroonian diaspora but also about sharing expertise and reviewing national youth policies that would contribute to Cameroon’s socio-economic progress The primary focus of the Conclave was on the revision of Cameroon’s National Youth Policy specifically tailored to encourage participation from the diaspora including consultations led by the Minister of Youth and Civic Education to gather insights from young Cameroonians living across Europe and other European nations showcased their projects seeking ways to collaborate effectively with the Cameroonian government One of the highlights was the presentation of the Betta Health Project by HRH Dr which aims to improve healthcare infrastructure in Cameroon was showcased as a tangible success story of how diaspora expertise can directly impact health services in the country Walters detailed the project's achievements highlighting the need for continuous support from both the government and the diaspora The Cameroonian delegation also explored Germany’s renowned dual vocational training system which combines theoretical education with practical experience This was an essential component of the Conclave as vocational training is seen as a model that could potentially transform Cameroon's educational landscape the delegation visited various German companies Yannick Michel Atala Kouokam and Caleb Lowe Pagang The two trainees have excelled in their programs achieving top marks in their recent assessments allows Cameroonian youth to train in Germany and eventually return to Cameroon to contribute to their local communities expressed their satisfaction with the training Their impressive performance earned praise from Minister Foutsou who emphasized the importance of maintaining and expanding such exchange programs “Our goal is to have more young Cameroonians trained here who can bring this philosophy back home,” stated the Minister a bakery that has embraced Cameroonian trainees in both its confectionery and baking sections five Cameroonian apprentices are undergoing professional training with plans to pursue further qualifications The Minister acknowledged the strong work ethic of the young Cameroonians and stressed the potential for similar vocational models to be implemented in Cameroon challenges remain—particularly around the language barrier Representatives from German companies suggested that having examination materials available in English could ease the transition for non-German-speaking trainees the young Cameroonians were lauded for their technical knowledge and adaptability The Conclave also highlighted the need for diaspora contributions in sectors like healthcare both the Cameroonian government and the diaspora are seeking sustainable partnerships that can address critical development needs back home Minister Foutsou reiterated the government's commitment to nurturing these relationships seeing Germany's dual training system as a blueprint for Cameroon’s educational reform The Minister called for more projects that harness the skills and resources of Cameroonians abroad "All competencies are welcome," he affirmed underlining the value of diaspora expertise in achieving Cameroon’s Vision 2035 development goals it was clear that the spirit of cooperation between the Cameroonian diaspora and the home country is stronger than ever with a shared goal of empowering young Cameroonians and enhancing the nation's development The Heilbronn 3 Conclave is more than just an annual meeting; it is a testament to the power of collaboration between Cameroon and its diaspora The event not only provided a platform for dialogue but also showcased concrete steps being taken to enhance education they hold the promise of a brighter future for Cameroon driven by a generation that combines local knowledge with international expertise For Cameroonians in the diaspora and at home and invest in a collective vision of progress The new Heilbronn combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant is expected to start operation by the end of 2026 The Heilbronn CHP plant is a combined heat and power station owned and operated by Energie Baden-Württemberg(EnBW) a publicly listed energy company based in Germany The Heilbronn plant is one of EnBW’s major hard coal power stations with an electrical output of 1.1GW and a thermal output of 320MW EnBW is converting the coal-fired plant into a Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) power plant The upgraded facility will have a maximum electrical and thermal output of 750MW and 190MW respectively The total cost of the project is estimated to exceed €500m ($547m) while the new CCGT plant is scheduled to commence operations towards the end of 2026 The Heilbronn plant is situated near Stuttgart the largest city and capital of the state of Baden-Württemberg Positioned by the Neckar River on the city’s outskirts the power station is within an industrial and commercial park The Heilbronn coal-fired power plant comprises a total of seven blocks is set to be replaced by the new CCGT facility Blocks 5 and 6 are older units that serve as the grid reserve and are only utilised in the event of bottlenecks in the high-voltage grid With the commercial launch of the new CCGT plant Block 7 will be progressively decommissioned A similar approach will be followed for the reserve blocks 5 and 6 The new facility will also utilise Block 7’s existing cooling tower water building and water intake and outflow infrastructure ensuring a sustainable use of the existing infrastructure’s service life The district heating network will also be upgraded as part of the new construction enhancing efficiency by transitioning from steam to hot water as the primary energy carrier The combined-cycle gas power plant will have a GE 9HA.01 gas turbine a W88 generator and a heat recovery steam generator with triple pressure and reheat capabilities It will also feature GE Vernova’s fully integrated Mark*VIe Distributed Control System software EnBW also plans to construct a new 600MWh heat storage facility and a hot water boiler system with a thermal output of 160MW The natural gas required for the plant will be supplied through the South German natural gas pipeline GE’s 9HA gas turbine has more than 64% combined-cycle efficiency the  turbine can burn 50% of hydrogen by volume delivering a net output of 680MW in combined-cycle mode The STF-D650 reheat steam turbine has an efficiency rating of 48% The turbine incorporates high-performance gland and inter-stage sealing technologies improved rear stages and GE’s latest 3D reaction blading The new plant will supplant the existing coal-fired power station with a more efficient gas-fired alternative facilitating the combustion of 100% hydrogen in the future fuel mix by the 2030s The CCGT plant will significantly reduce airborne pollutant emissions 44% less total dust and 93% less SOx while eliminating heavy metal emissions associated flue gas cleaning systems and coal-fired auxiliary steam generators will be dismantled thereby mitigating the previously louder noise sources with modern noise control systems was engaged to provide a traffic management concept analyse the necessary traffic light modifications and estimate the costs for converting steam into hot water for the plant EnBW entered a contract with the consortium comprising General Electric (GE) The consortium is tasked with constructing a CHP plant at the Heilbronn site including related maintenance and support works The contract for supplying the H-Class natural gas-fired combined-cycle power generation equipment was awarded to GE Vernova in November 2023 Give your business an edge with our leading industry insights View all

bunch of points inside Four points define four different triangles The numbers grow quickly from there — 100 points define 161,700 different triangles a German mathematician who fled his country before World War II and settled in England thought of these triangles in the late 1940s when he saw a group of soldiers outside his window The soldiers didn’t appear to be in formation which got him thinking: If there are n soldiers inside a square what is the size of the largest possible smallest triangle defined by three of them Heilbronn wondered how one might go about arranging the soldiers (or points) to maximize the size of the smallest triangle “I think it’s a stunning result,” said Anthony Carbery a mathematician at the University of Edinburgh Researchers kept working on the Heilbronn triangle problem over the years motivated by its tangle of links to other areas of math “The things it’s connected to make it come alive,” said Pohoata a professor at Emory University in Atlanta It’s closely related to problems about intersecting shapes which in turn connect to both number theory and Fourier analysis — the study of complicated functions constructed from simple waves a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology stumbled upon this web of connections last year He’d been perusing an old survey of the Heilbronn triangle problem by Klaus Roth another refugee from the Nazis who fled to Britain as a boy was the first British mathematician to win the Fields Medal.) Cohen visualized the ideas from Roth’s survey with a simple picture: a square crisscrossed by two thick strips Cohen realized that it might connect to ideas that his adviser had brought up in a recent reading group meeting But Guth hadn’t been talking about triangles at all The triangle problem is equivalent to figuring out whether any of the strips contains a third point from the set “I realized very quickly that these two methods were essentially equivalent,” Cohen said “I got really excited about the triangle problem.” One day in the common room of MIT’s math department Cohen unexpectedly discovered that Pohoata had also been working on the Heilbronn triangle problem Their paper brings in even more new areas of mathematics “They use a huge amount of machinery and different insights,” said Thomas Bloom of the University of Oxford who said he expects the new paper to “prompt a renaissance” of progress on the triangle problem By placing three points very close together you can easily make the smallest triangle in an arrangement arbitrarily small three points in line with one another form a triangle with zero area.) But trying to keep the smallest triangle big is trickier the smallest triangle is forced to be pretty small — new dots can only be so far from existing ones It’s relatively easy to show that the smallest triangle can’t have an area any bigger than 1/(n − 2) by splitting the square into nonoverlapping triangles But Heilbronn thought that the limit was even tinier than that He guessed that no matter how the dots were arranged in the square there couldn’t be a smallest triangle with an area larger than around 1/n2 a number which shrinks much faster as n grows In 1980, the Hungarian mathematicians János Komlós, János Pintz and Endre Szemerédi found a pattern of dots whose smallest triangle had an area ever so slightly larger than 1/n2 In a separate paper published around the same time they also showed that it’s impossible to arrange n dots to create a smallest triangle that is bigger than around 1/n8/7 “Improving [the bound] in either direction was remarkably hard and required a lot of technical analysis and ingenuity,” Bloom said very quickly get bogged down by a complete quagmire of stuff,” Carbery added While the construction discovered in 1980 remains the one with the biggest known smallest triangle Pohoata had already been working on the Heilbronn triangle problem for two years he put summer research students at Yale University to work on higher-dimensional versions of the problem — for example narrowing down the largest smallest-volume shapes that appear among dots scattered in a three-dimensional cube Cosmin Pohoata (pictured) and Dmitrii Zakharov had been working on the triangle problem for years when they teamed up with Alex Cohen in the fall of 2022 As part of that project, Pohoata revisited all the prior work on the problem. Back in 1951 Roth had split the search for small triangles into two parts: First find a pair of points to form the triangle’s base and then find a third point to complete the triangle The strategy essentially framed the search for a large smallest triangle as the study of intersecting dots and rectangles — an approach that was refined in 1972 by Wolfgang Schmidt Pohoata identified a connection to the high-low method — a technique that Guth and collaborators had developed in 2017 for estimating the overlap between a collection of rectangular strips and a collection of disks “That was an important psychological moment for me,” he said Pohoata brought up his ideas with Zakharov The two had begun publishing together when Zakharov was still an undergraduate in Moscow “[Zakharov] was doing remarkable things as if he was a senior researcher at a young age,” said Jacob Fox Zakharov was initially pessimistic about the Heilbronn triangle problem “I mostly wanted to understand how it works.” After running into one another in October 2022 Pohoata and Zakharov soon pinpointed the obstacle that Komlós “There’s a very specific arrangement of the points that leads to this worst-case scenario where they can’t do better than 8/7,” Cohen said “The points can either be concentrated or spread out The worst case is when it’s some combination.” That arrangement had points spread out on a large scale but if you zoomed in on tiny sub-squares within the unit square In finding a new upper bound to the size of the biggest smallest triangle together with his collaborators Alex Cohen has connected the “triangle problem” to other areas of math Pohoata and Zakharov realized they could make headway by studying the dimension of the small clusters of points dimensions are always whole numbers: A sheet of paper is two-dimensional; a clay brick has three dimensions Things can get weird when you consider the dimension of a set of points A single point is normally considered zero-dimensional But two finite sets of points can have completely different structures One might have 10 points marching obediently in a ramrod-straight line while the other has 10 points sprinkled across the entire unit square To capture the structure of even the weirdest sets of points the early 20th-century mathematician Felix Hausdorff came up with a new notion of dimension while 10 points spread evenly over a square are two-dimensional and a one-dimensional set can be not linear but fractal sporting infinite layers of intricate patterns Depending on the details of these patterns collections of points can even have a dimension that is bigger than 0 but less than 1 Cohen, Pohoata and Zakharov uncovered a 1953 theorem by John Marstrand that rephrased Komlós Pintz and Szemerédi’s estimate in terms of the Hausdorff dimension — but only for dimensions greater than 1 Pohoata and Zakharov would need to find some way to generalize Marstrand’s result to sets whose dimension was smaller than 1 Cohen, Pohoata and Zakharov didn’t have to think for long. As it happened, a paper by Tuomas Orponen, Pablo Shmerkin and Hong Wang that had just been posted online extended Marstrand’s 70-year-old theorem to sets whose dimension was less than 1 Cohen didn’t learn about the paper until February he quickly relayed it to Pohoata and Zakharov proving that the smallest triangle among n points in a unit square can’t ever be bigger than 1/n8/7 + 1/2000 Shmerkin read the triangle paper on a whim after seeing it announced on Twitter He hadn’t even been aware of the Heilbronn triangle problem before then so he was surprised when he spotted the reference to his proof “This is not a direct application of what we do creative and technical work in it,” he said “I could have looked at that paper for a long time and never thought Pintz and Szemerédi’s exponent by only a tiny fraction it has revived the long-languishing Heilbronn triangle problem it doesn’t look so different from what was known in 1982 But an awful lot of time has passed since 1982,” Carbery said By incorporating the high-low method and Orponen Pohoata and Zakharov have unmasked a new set of ties between the Heilbronn triangle problem and the rest of mathematics the triangle problem was thought of as “a really nice really hard problem that we don’t know what to do But they’ve said it’s connected to a huge amount of other stuff.” Some believe the true answer to Heilbronn’s triangle problem won’t be a whole lot bigger than his original guess of 1/n2 therefore it probably doesn’t exist,” Bloom said But Zakharov is hoping for a different answer The intuitions that support an answer of 1/n2 are “kind of boring,” he said “I would very much prefer if it was n3/2.” Quanta Magazine moderates comments to facilitate an informed incoherent or off-topic comments will be rejected Moderators are staffed during regular business hours (New York time) and can only accept comments written in English We’ll email you instructions to reset your password We have the address for the funeral home & the family on file If you're not happy with your card we'll send a replacement or refund your money Adeline “Addie” Mary Heilbronn, beloved mother, grams, and great grams, of Saginaw, went home to be with the Lord on March 31, 2021, at the age of 96.

and a clash of ideologies that strikes deep into the soul of Turkey - have left this beautiful spot inaccessible to the public.  Located near the tomb of the Ottoman Empire’s great architect Mimar Sinan (1490-1588) and the breathtaking 16th century Suleymaniye Mosque for decades the botanical garden has been an urban oasis Founded by Jewish academics fleeing the Nazi regime in 1935 it currently boasts more than 5,000 species of plants in a 15,000 square metre plot as well as a stunning view of the Golden Horn and the Galata Tower and enjoy the great view,” says Dilsad Aladag who has been documenting the history behind the garden to help preserve its memory with her colleague Eda Aslan. “It was such a liberating place from all the suffocating issues we deal with as Istanbulians and as then-university students.” also an artist, have been visiting the garden for years only to recently learn that it is in risk of ruin the body governing imams and mosques in the capital and whose headquarters happens to be adjacent to the garden made various attempts to purchase it from the current owners and transfer it to another location.  While the university was initially amenable to this request plans were disrupted when nationwide mass anti-government protests erupted following attempts to replace Istanbul’s Gezi Park with a shopping mall in 2013 Locals opposed plans by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to rebuild an Ottoman-era barracks in the park that would function as a mall similar to one that used to be on the same site until the 1940s They argued that Istanbul didn’t need another shopping mall and called instead for saving the rare green space in the city centre the transfer of the botanical garden would have become another point of contention among the Gezi Park activists causing the government – and the university – to halt their plans in 2018 the university finally transferred the property to the Muftiate and the garden has been closed to visitors ever since The garden is believed to be poorly maintained its condition having already been deteriorating prior to its closure The fate of the many valuable plants is unknown, a cause for concern for both environmental activists and academics.  “It was very clear since 2017 that the garden could be destroyed That’s why we decided to do something,” Aladag says “We wanted to investigate the history of this garden document its development and record it with pictures The pair ended up uncovering an intriguing history of a site that had been a regular battleground between various political camps.  the plot the botanical garden stands on today was known as the Agha’s Gate an elite infantry unit in the standing army of the Ottoman sultans from the 15th to 18th centuries the janissaries eventually became increasingly costly and a source of tension conducting regular coups against political leaders and criticising proposed reforms The reformist Sultan Mahmud II famously dismantled the Janissary Corps in 1826 in what became known as the “Auspicious Event” after they revolted against his newly formed Following violent clashes between the janissaries and state forces that left thousands dead the centuries-old corps were finally disbanded The Sultan eventually transferred the plot of land to Shaykh al-Islam the empire’s ultimate Islamic legal authority Mahmud II also banned the use of the Agakapisi name for the area instead calling it Bab-i Mesihat or the Gate of Religious Decisions where Shaykh al-Islam would issue religious decrees “You would have young girls in shorts exercising in the very courtyard of the Muftiate - a message by the secular republic that things would be different from now on," Aladag says Though tensions weren't new for the venue since the janissaries had been executed in the same courtyard and the Muftiate to this date exhibits the stone where heads were decapitated it also marked the beginning of property disputes with the religious conservatives.  The Girls High School was quick to draw criticism from notable religious figures an influential theologian and staunch anti-communist who later established one of the most consequential movements in the republic’s history “An office that for hundreds of years had the fortune to be the light of the Sharia now is the big girl’s high school and playhouse,” Nursi declared The school was only able to utilise the location for three years and the building was destroyed following an electrical fire in 1926 Much of the national press was also clearly averse to the location of the girls' school Nursi remained forthright regarding his views on the matter: “And so that night it burnt down everyone said: 'What a shame' I and those who like me said: 'Praise be to God'." The building remained out of action following the fire until a group of German Jewish academics emigrated to Turkey in 1934 helping to establish a modern university system on the invitation of then-president Kemal Ataturk an expert on plant physiology and genetics was among the 150 German Jewish academics and families who found himself starting a new life in Istanbul He lived in a small mansion belonging to Istanbul University His request for better and more modern educational facilities led the Turkish government to order the construction of a new biology department building near the Istanbul Muftiate Why the government chose the location remains a mystery But historian Necdet Sakaoglu told Aladag and Aslan that the top Islamic clergy in the Ottoman Empire had a long tradition of maintaining gardens Heilbronn maintained the garden and continued to teach his students until 1957 when he was legally required to retire under Turkish law; that same year he returned to Germany ended up following in her husband’s footsteps three years later after she were dismissed from their posts following a 1960 military coup Like her husband’s forced immigration to Turkey in the 1930s this time Mehpare found herself being exiled back to Germany taking 20 boxes of plant samples from Anatolia with her the tug of war on the plot of land resurfaced in 1993 when the Istanbul Muftiate claimed ownership over the garden under a new law claiming that the biology department was arbitrarily occupying the Muftiate’s property Following a series of protests and newspaper articles questioning the motivation behind the Muftiate’s attempted takeover the government declared the garden “a protected area” registering it as a site of natural wealth in 1995 With a strong government run by religious conservatives their cause was likely to gain some traction More than 20,000 people signed an online petition to preserve the botanical garden and securing the approval of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan the Directorate of Religious Affairs finally signed a protocol with Istanbul University for a transfer of ownership asking the biology department to relocate in 2017 The move itself triggered another wave of public protests and activism The academics living in Germany also reached out to German Chancellor Angela Merkel who sent a delegation from the German consulate in Istanbul to inspect the garden Eventually Istanbul University released a statement declaring that the garden wouldn’t be demolished even though the biology department was being relocated and that the Muftiate and the academics would be joint caretakers began the process of documenting the botanical garden with interviews investigating archives and even collecting plant samples from the garden while it was still open for the public like “amateur gardeners” They interviewed the academics and collected photos from the 1930s along with letters and magazines published by the garden's biology department “We discovered the contents of several old boxes kept in the basement in Heilbronn’s home,” Aslan said Mr Kurt didn’t want to look through the old documents and photos He had tears in his eyes as we opened one box after another It was very meaningful for each of us With their findings, the pair launched an art exhibition, currently featured in the Depo Art Gallery in Istanbul is greatly influenced by the artefacts they found during their journey A highlight is an audio exhibit in which loudspeakers broadcast the first letter Heilbronn sent out to various botanical gardens around the world in his mission to gather seeds Another is a replica of one of the garden’s pools complete with duckweed almost entirely covering the surface A 20-minute video is also being broadcast on a loop in the main exhibition area in which Heilbronn explains the stories behind the photos he who paid a visit to the department and the botanical garden in the 1940s, also feature in the photos There are also drawers of samples the pair collected from the garden that could serve as souvenirs for future generations in the event of its disappearance "We couldn't get access to the herbarium so we created our own collection as amateur botanists," Aladay says Another video installation shows pages of plant samples collected by Mehpare Heilbronn from throughout Anatolia and brought over to Germany as well as a book co-written by Aladag and Aslan with photos and interviews chronicling their journey from Istanbul to Germany “Our aim is to raise awareness about this beautiful garden and memorialise its history,” Aladag says the Istanbul Muftiate said that Istanbul University students in coordination with the biology department “One personnel from the biology department and two personnel from the Muftiate are maintaining the garden,” the statement read “The garden was closed to the public due to reconstruction of the administrative buildings But exceptional visits could be done escorted by the security.” Aladag and Aslan would like to visit the garden one more time if they can somehow qualify for the "exceptional" category.  Their art exhibition and journey has already triggered a wave of interest among the art scene in Istanbul While they are aware that the Alfred Heilbronn Botanical Garden’s destiny isn’t in their hands they remain passionate about trying to save it Visitors are given free prints of the plants as part of the exhibition "so they can take these pictures home "In this way the garden would never be destroyed It will be alive in the memories and on the walls of homes."  ​The Garden of (Not) Forgetting exhibition is running at Depo Art Gallery in Istanbul until 6 June Copyright © 2014 - 2025. Middle East Eye Only England and Wales jurisdiction

Affairs of Ukraine the Special Envoy of the President of France for Ukraine's Relief and Reconstruction Among the participants of the meeting were also Vasyl Teteria the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine the Head of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.  The highlight of the meeting was the discussion of the cooperation between the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the French party in the areas of aviation expressed his gratitude to the President and the Government of the French Republic for their support of Ukraine and assistance to the units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine during the war The Minister emphasized that the French Republic remains a reliable partner of Ukraine in ensuring stability and restoring security:  “I am pleased to welcome you at the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine I would like to express my gratitude to the President and the Government of the French Republic for their unwavering support of Ukraine during the large-scale war Your assistance is not only a way of strengthening of our units but also an important gesture of solidarity with the Ukrainian people And I want to assure you that the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine is sincerely grateful for this assistance as it contributes to the protection of our citizens and brings the Victory closer” is constantly coordinating efforts to strengthen partnership and provide comprehensive assistance to Ukraine.  "We are touched by your kind words of gratitude and want to assure you that the French Republic has stood with Ukraine since the beginning of the invasion We value our joint future and are working to find the perfect formula to help you the French Republic is actively involved in the joint efforts of the G7 member states aimed at providing assistance to Ukraine in various areas and domaines" the parties discussed contracts related to the aviation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs including the exchange of experience with French security and rescue agencies as well as the provision of medical equipment for helicopters that carry out evacuations.  the participants raised the issue of maritime security and the delivery of the French boats to the Maritime Guard units of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine emphasized that this will strengthen Ukraine's border protection capabilities at sea.  “This concerns the protection of Ukraine's national interests at sea And it is the French boats that are the main component of maritime security today” – said the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.  The parties also discussed the €200 million Grant Agreement concluded between the Governments of the French Republic and Ukraine which aims to facilitate the reconstruction and support of critical infrastructure and the development of economic sectors in Ukraine Ihor Klymenko informed the French delegation about the projects of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and the National Police of Ukraine under this agreement and stressed their importance for the state:  "The robotic systems for land and underwater demining and fire extinguishing are primarily aimed at saving the lives of our EOD experts We expect a favourable decision to be reached on these projects of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine" Ihor Klymenko discussed with his partners the training of Ukrainian EOD experts in underwater demining The Minister stressed that underwater demining is critical in times of war the EOD experts of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine have demined more than 16,000 hectares of water bodies removing and disposing of more than 2,000 explosive ordnance the Underwater Demining Centre is currently being modernised 24 of them being capable of performing deep-sea demining at a depth of 50 metres” – said the Minister and stressed that the Ministry is also ready to share its experience with partners.  “We are ready to move forward to overcome all problems and challenges together The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine is doing a tremendous job in all areas And those projects that meet the requirements of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine will be signed and you can contact us with any questions and get the help you need” the Special Envoy of the President of France for Ukraine's Relief and Reconstruction.  Communications Department of the
