I am a developer working on building out ProdShot to make product photos as easily as possible. This is a list I compiled after giving various tools a try. The 31-year-old, who won the first event in Oberstdorf (GER) had slipped to third in the standings after placing eighth in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (GER) That race had been won by team-mate and rival Daniel Tschofenig, who ultimately finished third in Innsbruck, just ahead of fellow Austrian Jan Hoerl second and third positions in the overall Four Hills Tournament rankings with just 1.3 points separating them ahead of the finale in Bischofshofen (AUT) 5-6 January “I trained my whole life for this,” said Kraft after his first-ever victory in Innsbruck “It’s a childhood dream to win in this special atmosphere and special place “The second jump was so aggressive and one of my best ones (of his career) which makes me so happy I had to do this in order to be strong and I neede to take the risk to beat them (Hoerl and Tschofenig) 10 years has passed since an Austrian last won the Four Hills title with Kraft achieving that honour back in the 2014/15 season With Gregor Deschwanden (SUI) some 22.5 points off Tschofenig in third there is a strong likelihood the ‘Golden Eagle’ will be back in Austrian hands next week 61 athletes took to the hill in qualifying on Friday which – as with each of the Four Hill contests – would see the ski jumpers face off in a series of duels with five places in the second round also reserved for ‘lucky losers’ who attained a score ranking in the top of those who did not qualify automatically for the final round the American performed well and his score of 116.6 combined with a far from perfect jump by Geiger (110.1) saw Bickner take something of a surprise victory Halvor Egner Granerud (NOR) was another high-ranking ski jumper to suffer an early elimination, as was 11th highest qualifier Killian Peier (SUI) He was knocked out by Dawid Kubacki (POL) Pius Paschke (GER) who has won five World Cup stages so far this season delivered a competitive 128.5m to put him seventh heading into the final round Gregor Deschwanden (SUI) has been demonstrating some of the best form of his career this season but he would suffer a rare blip and place 10th at the halfway stage Johann Andre Forfang (NOR) has threatened to upset the Austrian dominance during recent World Cups and 130.5m as is becoming something of a tradition this season who thrilled the capacity crowd with a series of stunning jumps Michael Hayboeck (AUT) had welcomed in the new year by claiming just the second podium finish of his World Cup campaign with third in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (GER) It quickly became evident he would not be repeating that accomplishment in Innsbruck but 131m in the second round helped him climb from 20th to 12th Making the greatest progress between the first and second rounds though was another Austrian, 2022 World junior bronze medallist Markus Mueller who had entered the third leg of the 2024/25 Four Hills contest fourth in the standings was expected to need a jump far in excess of 130m in order to retain any realistic hopes of challenging for an overall victory but with conditions worsening it enabled the Swiss to climb six places into fourth Certainly out of contention was Paschke, who had entered the Four Hills as the World Cup leader and aiming to become the first German to claim the ‘Golden Eagle’ since Sven Hannawald in 2022 123.7 points in round two saw him slip down the standings and lose further ground in the race for the 2024/25 Crystal Globe As the current yellow jersey holder Tschofenig may well be a contender for that crown later in the season but for now his sights are firmly set on Four Hills success 128.7 points saw him confirm a top-three place but only recorded his first World Cup victory this season during the opening Four Hills contest in Oberstdorf His jump of 132.5m enabled the three-time World champion to take a 10-point lead with fellow Olympic team gold medal-winner Hoerl the only athlete who could deny Kraft a further win Hoerl reached 131.5m and lower style marks ensured it would be Kraft who took the win and a lead over his Austrian colleagues heading into the final leg of the competition The field will now take the 180km journey east to Bischofshofen for the final event of the 2024/25 Four Hills Tournament 05.01.2025 – 16:30 – Start Qualification – QUA Men’s LH06.01.2025 – 16:30 – Competition start – WC Men’s LH *All times are in CET (Central European

(NDP) Tuesday observed the 45th anniversary of the military coup that brought Desi Bouterse to power recalling his last wish to Suriname and that is to return the party back to government died last December and had been in hiding since December 2023 after he and several others were charged and convicted with the December 8 Speaking at the celebration of 45 years of ‘revolution’ dedicated to Bouterse on Tuesday Laurens Neede spoke of the special role that Bouterse played in the seizure of power on February 25 1980 by the so-called ‘Group of 16’ The celebration held at the Monument of the Revolution was held under the theme ‘Memre Desi Bouterse’ and his widow Ingrid Bouterse lighted the the torch as wreaths were laid by several top figures of the party Bouterse first came to power when he and 15 other soldiers of the National Army carried out a successful coup on February 25 deposing the democratically elected government of Henck Arron The coup was welcomed by large parts of society and the military rulers initially received support from left-wing political parties Neede said it is important that NDP members do everything they can to fulfill Bouterse’s last wish “We are celebrating 45 years of revolution without our big brother and leader of the revolution who preceded us We are all convinced that we have to work harder to fulfill his last wish and that is to win the elections,” Neede said The elections will be held on May 25 this year View the discussion thread.

patients MSF's telemedicine hub aims to overcome geographic barriers for equitable the MSF Sweden Innovation Unit deploys a human-centered approach for promoting a culture of innovation within MSF “The number of positive cases is at its highest level since the beginning of the pandemic,” says Dr Juan Pablo Nahuel Sanchez, MSF intensive care unit doctor. “We currently have 71 people hospitalised in Dura hospital in Hebron – the main hospital and the only COVID-designated facility in the south of the West Bank – and 27 of them are in the intensive care unit.” “The hospital is operating beyond capacity,” says Dr Nahuel Sanchez. “There is not enough space, beds or staff to help all of our critical patients, and people are dying.” Hebron has been one of the worst-hit governorates in the West Bank. MSF has been supporting the hospital by training staff and treating patients. Our teams are also raising awareness of COVID-19 among local communities to reduce the spread of the virus, and are providing counselling to patients and their families. “The percentage of younger people affected by COVID-19 has increased dramatically,” says Dr Nahuel Sanchez. “One in three patients currently admitted to Dura hospital is aged between 25 and 64, whereas before the majority of patients were over 64.” In Nablus, in the north of the West Bank, the situation is equally worrying. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) hospital is working over capacity and is now transforming its respiratory care unit into a ward for COVID-19 patients. “We are doing our best to save them all,” says Marius Sanciuc, an MSF ICU nurse providing training and medical support to staff at the PRCS hospital. “The biggest challenge is that hospital staff have limited experience in caring for very sick patients or patients with COVID-19.” Simple procedures such as proning – in which a patient is turned on to their stomach to improve breathing – have been a challenge. “Try to imagine turning a patient around, from their back onto their abdomen, when they have many IV lines and tubes leading into their chest cavity and abdomen,” says Sanciuc. “It is a difficult task, where you need five people, but it’s not impossible.” In Gaza, the number of patients with COVID-19 fell in February, but in mid-March it began to rise again. Gaza’s healthcare system is already crippled by decades of Israeli occupation and a long-running economic blockade. Another wave of COVID-19 is of grave concern to the MSF team working there. As COVID-19 spreads further through the West Bank and Gaza, Palestinians remain unprotected. “We are very concerned about the delayed and slow vaccination roll out,” says Ely Sok, MSF head of mission in Palestine territories. “On the one hand, in Israel the large availability of vaccine doses is now allowing the government to pursue herd immunity, without any intention to significantly contribute to the improvement of vaccination rates in the Palestinian territories.” “On the other, it has proven difficult to obtain a clear picture of the availability and delivery strategy of the vaccine doses already received from the Palestinian health authorities,” says Sok. “Meanwhile, frontline workers and high-risk groups in Palestine are nowhere near having protection from the disease.” As of mid-March, less than two per cent of Palestinians have been vaccinated from COVID-19 in the West Bank and Gaza – an alarmingly small number in light of the third wave of the deadly pandemic.

at 10:25 AM EDTBookmarkSaveLock This article is for subscribers only.Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the strength of the U.S economic expansion justifies gradually raising interest rates paving the way for a hike in September and possibly another this year “There is good reason to expect that this strong performance will continue,” Powell said Friday at the Kansas City Fed’s annual policy symposium in Jackson Hole “I believe that this gradual process of normalization remains appropriate.” On June 10th the World Ocean Initiative hosted a webinar with three expert guests and an audience of over 600 people to discuss solutions to manage plastic waste from source to sea senior editor at The Economist Group’s Thought Leadership division highlighted the extent of marine plastic pollution By 2050 there could be a larger tonnage of plastic in the ocean than fish Only 14% of plastic is recycled resulting in an annual loss of material worth US$80-120bn “This need to end plastic pollution is driving solutions to improve waste management develop alternative materials and to increase reuse and recycling,” she said president and chief executive of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste said there was a concerted effort to focus on solutions In just a year and a half since his organisation started its membership had grown to 47 companies in the plastics value chain who had in total spent US$1bn on tackling plastic waste through various initiatives where it works with local women to build waste recycling facilities “Not only do we create a cleaner environment but we also create livelihoods for these communities and for these families that the women are supporting,” he said “We are bringing people out of poverty and contributing to achieving the sustainable development goals.” solutions must be suitable for specific countries if they are to be effective In developing countries in south and southeast Asia where much of the pollution is occurring investment in basic waste collection and management facilities was the priority “In those countries we often see that waste management systems have not kept pace with the economic development and population growth and so as a result materials are leaking out of those systems,” she said but once they hit the ocean they are still just marine debris,” she added corporate senior vice president of innovation and sustainability at Henkel a German chemical and consumer goods company argued that plastic itself was not the problem but rather its poor management along the supply chain He outlined Henkel’s three-part strategy for reducing plastic waste Firstly Henkel aims to make all of its plastic packaging 100% recyclable Secondly the company is aiming to halve its use of virgin plastic from fossil sources by switching to recycled plastic and bioplastic Lastly it aims to stop plastic waste polluting the environment by supporting waste collection and recycling schemes is creating 400 waste collection centres with a capacity of 5,000 tonnes per year Local people can earn money collecting waste for the centres In 2020 Henkel will include 600 tonnes of recycled plastic from the centres into its packaging the webinar audience were asked what was most needed to scale up solutions to tackle marine plastic pollution government and industry was the most popular response at 47% followed by regulation at 30% (see figure) Mr Duer agreed that no one can fix this problem alone and that collaboration was core to any solution With so many initiatives among different companies the “challenge is to ensure that we don’t compete but that we collaborate and work towards the same solutions.” For Ms Ruffo collaboration at city level was most important as city governments were usually responsible for waste management and were able to provide the policies and investments to improve it Circulate Initiative recently launched its Urban Ocean programme with the Global Resilient Cities Network and Ocean Conservancy in which it will work with five cities in Vietnam India and Panama to learn how to implement waste management solutions Ms Ruffo said the key to engaging developing countries is to understand that ocean plastic is not a priority for them Strategies should focus on selling the social benefits of the solutions to plastic waste such as boosting economic development as well as improving public health and sanitation because those goals tie in with their top priorities Mr Müller-Kirschbaum thought there should be a much bolder cross-industry collaboration to reduce the many types of plastic currently used to just three major types—PET This would help improve the quality of recycled material This agreement was best reached between CEOs rather than trade associations who tend to compromise The guests agreed that while regulation was important Mr Duer pointed out that a lot of action in developing countries had already taken place without regulation they must facilitate investment from the private sector across global operations rather than just where a company is headquartered the webinar audience were asked what impact the covid-19 pandemic would have on efforts to tackle marine plastic pollution with 62% believing that it would reduce efforts and 20% thinking that it would accelerate efforts (see figure) The result was not seen as surprising due to the increased use of personal protective equipment such as disposable plastic gloves which can often be seen littering the streets Mr Duer hoped that the impact would be short term and that green stimulus packages to assist the economic recovery would lead to an increase in resources for waste management We can “build back healthier and more resilient systems,” concluded Ms
