Ferrovial Agroman’s Polish subsidiary Budimex signed two major contracts today: one to design and build a railway line in Gdansk
and another to build a section of the A4 highway between the Krzyz and Debica Pustynia junctions
Ferrovial, through Polish subsidiary Budimex, signed two contracts today worth a total of 1.380 billion zlotys (over 332 million euro)
The first contract was awarded to a consortium comprising Budimex (95%) and Ferrovial Agroman (5%) to design and build a railway line in Gdansk
worth 582.2 million zlotys (over 140 million euro)
The railway line will improve the connection between Gdansk and Gdynia with Lech Walesa International Airport
Those two cities together with Sopot comprise Tricity
The contract includes the construction of a 17-kilometre railway line between Gdansk Wrzeszcz station and the Gdynia-Koscierzyna line and a 1.4-kilometre junction with the latter
It involves the construction of a control building
5 overpasses as well as pedestrian footpaths and fauna crossings
upgraded the Gdynia G?ówna Osobowa railway station and is currently improving a 50-kilometre section of railway line 9
as part of a project worth more than 168 million euro
the consortium comprising Budimex (50%) and Heilit (50%) signed a contract today with Poland’s General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways to build a section of the A4 highway between the Krzyz and Debica Pustynia junctions in southeast Poland
for 798 million zlotys (around 192 million euro)
Construction is expected to be completed at the end of 2014
The project includes the completion of a 34.7-kilometre section of the A4 highway between the Krzyz and Debica Pustynia junctions
and the construction of two new junctions (Debica-Zyraków and Debica-Pustynia)
two service areas (Jastrzabka and Jawornik)
Budimex has played a very active role in developing the A4
will run across southern Poland from the German border to the Ukraine border
The company has built the sections connecting Rzeszów with Debica (32.7 kilometres) and Jarosiaw with Radymno (25 kilometres)
and was recently awarded the section linking West and Central Rzeszów (4 kilometres)

Around 4.4 km of flood embankments have been built or modernised along the right bank of the Wisloka river in Poland’s Podkarpackie region
The project was designed to protect lives and residential
commercial and public property in the city of Dębica and the nearby village of Kędzierz
The work promises to prevent degradation of the local environment caused by flood waters
The implementation of the investment increased the sense of security of residents living in areas that suffered as a result of the catastrophic flood in 2010
New embankments and modernisation of existing ones will ensure better flood protection
because its location in residential areas was connected with a number of works performed in coordination with other institutions
The investment will result in the development of the city of Dębica and I and my family feel much safer now
About 2 km of flood embankments were constructed
while around 2.4 km of existing embankments were upgraded and expanded
The project included the construction of related infrastructure
two dikes and a flood road with 11 crossings
The flood protection infrastructure is expected to help increase the resilience of Dębica and Kędzierz to the effects of adverse climate changes that are becoming more frequent
the project ensures the protection of local properties and 241 inhabitants
Flood banks were built or revamped at five locations along the river
The goal is to minimise or prevent flooding in an area that has experienced significant problems in the past
heavy flooding caused much damage and disruption
Much of the project is located in urban areas
which means the related infrastructure plays a key role in the scheme
the crossings and flood road will help the authorities coordinate an efficient response to any new threat caused by rising river levels
All the work delivered through the project is in line with requirements laid down in the Polish government’s key water management document: ‘Poland’s Flood Management Plan for the Upper Vistula River’
Total investment for the project “Flood protection of floodplains located on the right bank of the Wisłoka river in km 50 + 500 - 57 + 800 in Dębica and Kędzierz
Podkarpackie Voivodeship” is EUR 3 344 248 (PLN 14 259 527)
with the EU’s European Regional Development Fund contributing EUR 1 390 253 (PLN 5 927 896) through the “Podkarpackie” Operational Programme for the 2014-2020 programming period
The investment falls under the priority “Environment and Resource Efficiency”.

(VIDEO) Lukas Podolski’s Brutal Kick in Friendly MatchLukas Podolski, World Cup champion with Germany in 2014, became a talking point and even went viral after committing a reckless foul that nearly fractured an opponent during a friendly futsal competition. Representing the Polish team Górnik Zabrze in the Spodek Super Cup, Podolski’s aggressive play quickly gained traction on social media.
The ex-Arsenal and Bayern Munich forward participated in the tournament, which featured top-tier teams from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and a Star Team lineup. Fans were treated to exciting matchups on artificial turf, with clubs like Baník Ostrava, Spartak Trnava, and Wisłoka Dębica showcasing their talent.
However, it was Podolski’s rough tackle on Wisłoka Dębica’s Kubą Siedleckim that stole the spotlight. To make matters worse, Siedleckim also took a ball to the face, though thankfully he escaped serious injury. Despite the dangerous play, Podolski received only a yellow card.
Following the third-place match, Podolski apologized to Siedleckim and gifted him his jersey as a gesture of goodwill. Later, he addressed the incident on social media: “Emotions ran high on the pitch, but after the match, it’s all settled. Apologies for the tough foul. Wishing you the best this season.”
Podolski retired from professional football in 2021 after playing for Turkey’s Antalyaspor, and shortly after, transitioned to futsal. Off the pitch, he has found success as a businessman. In 2017, he launched his ice cream brand, Ice Cream United, and a year later opened his first kebab restaurant, Mangal Döner, inspired by his time at Galatasaray.
Today, his kebab brand has expanded to over 30 locations across Germany, with a valuation exceeding €180 million, earning Podolski the nickname “The Kebab King.”
a fire significantly damaged a portion of the tire curing area and caused the temporary shutdown of our tire manufacturing facility in Debica
Tire production at Debica resumed on August 22
The facility is currently operating at approximately 70% of capacity and a full ramp-up is not expected until the fourth quarter of 2024 due to the lead time to replace the damaged equipment
“We are mitigating the impact on our customers by leveraging existing inventory and by increasing production at other facilities
which should help to offset lost production until Debica returns to full production,” the company said
Middle East and Africa consumer sales are expected to be negatively impacted by $20M to $25M in the third quarter of 2023 and $10M to $15M in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to the shutdown and limited production capacity at Debica
as well as unabsorbed fixed costs and other period expenses
resulting from the shut-down and subsequent ramp-up period are expected to negatively impact EMEA’s operating income by $10M to $15M in both the third quarter of 2023 and the fourth quarter of 2023
We will provide an estimated impact to 2024 after we have confirmed the restoration schedule
We maintain third-party insurance with a $15M per occurrence deductible that covers property damage
cleanup expenses and qualifying business interruption impacts
We will reach the deductible limit and expense $15M in the third quarter of 2023 related to property damage and clean-up expenses
We expect that a significant portion of the business interruption impacts will be reimbursed by our insurance
due to uncertainty in determining the ultimate amount and timing of business interruption coverage that could be available to us
we did not reflect potential insurance reimbursement for business interruption in the above sales and operating income estimates for EMEA nor have we recognized a business interruption insurance receivable at this time
we will record a receivable related to business interruption insurance once the claim is substantially complete.”

The car tyre production hall at Goodyear’s Debica factory in Poland caught fire late on 20 August
more than 20 fire engines attended the scene before midnight and no injuries were reported
Official statements issued by the tyremaker suggest the company’s truck tyre production area remained unaffected and that some passenger car tyre production resumed on 22 August
the duty officer of the State Fire Service is quoted as saying
This equates to around a third of the production hall
But while around a third of the production hall was hit by the flames
one reason the situation didn’t get worse is because the State Fire Service in Dębica
are based less than 100 metres from the scene of the fire
the local branch of the State Fire Service is said to have evolved out of the former company fire brigade and specializes in chemical fire protection and rescue
Debica city officials told residents to stay inside: “Dear residents
due to the fire at the tyre company Dębica
please do not move near the plant so as not to hinder the firefighting operation.”

Penderecki’s family were protestant and catholic but they were nevertheless touched by the war in a hundred ways
His uncles were officers in the Polish army
killed by both the Germans and the soviets
when soviets rounded up some 22,000 Polish officers and killed them all summarily
Poland suffered thousands of casualties and was not prepared to defend itself
Penderecki came of age with the creeping horror of the holocaust drifting over his home like a dread fog
Poland would take years to recover from the horror and destruction
In the films “Ida” and “Cold War” by Pawel Pawlikowski we witness the influence of Western music on those paralyzed by the Second World War
experimental and avant-garde were introduced like new species into an endangered ecosystem after Poland rejected Stalinism and his cultural restrictions
Like the jazz-struck heroes of those movies
Penderecki took to Western music instantly
especially the stark strangeness of John Cage and early electronic music
He enrolled in the Academy of music in 1954 and when he graduated in 1958 began teaching and composing in his free time
It’s difficult to fathom now that it took only two years for Penderecki to become an indispensable force in modern Classical music
and 1960 changed the face of modern media with his piece 8′ 37″
8′ 37″ was the length of the piece and no doubt a paean to Cage’s work 4′33″
in which the orchestra or musician playing the piece is quiet for that length of time
thus making the sound of the room and audience during the period the music of the piece
Just as Cage was attempting something radical in experimental music
a kind of Brechtian joke at the expense of the high brow
so too was Penderecki searching for new spaces in music theory
He later said he was attempting to create a new musical language
and indeed the techniques are bold and unprecedented
It was written for 52 string instruments and every part of their bodies was used
Musicians were encouraged to play behind the bridge of their violins
The result is quite unlike any piece of music before it
When he first heard the piece performed by the Krakow Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra
the horror of radiation and the destruction of the body
He retitled the piece Threnody for the victims of Hiroshima
Penderecki’s development of a dissonant and churning foundational texture
and there are pronounced debts to Anton Webern & Igor Stravinsky among others
finds an idiom unique to his obsessions and his family history
encouraged to relive the tragedies of the 20th century
He begins writing choral music and opera in the ’60s
including his take on the oft quoted Dies Irae
which he dedicated to the victims of Auschwitz
and his work with the human voice is just as haunting as his experiments with string instruments
the wailing quality of his female lead vocals while woodwinds hum menacingly or squeak nervously behind them
this was choral music as only someone who had caught glimpses of Hell could have produced
who made his own version of the Aldous Huxley novel from which Penderecki took inspiration
Everywhere in his work was the shadow of violence
the voices in his work were mournful reminders of the silenced cries of the dead
left in mass graves without names or testimonies
Penderecki’s great musical project was to give voice back to those who had become statistics in mankind’s campaigns of warfare
His music returned humanity to those stripped of their identities by history’s crucibles of blood and power
Their soundscapes and the judicious application of Penderecki’s music played no small part
The texture of horror films owe his orchestral approximation of nuclear fission a debt they could never repay
indeed his movies and their famously oppressive sound designs make easy companions with the Polish composer
most famously employing Threnody during his dramatization of the atomic bomb testing in America during the eighth episode of “Twin Peaks: The Return.”
Penderecki was also a huge influence on in-demand composer Jonny Greenwood, the guitarist for the band Radiohead. His compositions for Paul Thomas Anderson’s “There Will Be Blood” and “The Master” bear Penderecki’s influence
specifically in his unconventionally percussive use of violins
They would later tour their compositions together and release an album of their work jointly
Penderecki was always open to changing tides in music
encouraging Greenwood and later working with Portishead’s Beth Gibbons
He was only too happy to allow the times to wend their way into his work
After all it was from history he drew his influences
and he was savvy enough to see Greenwood and Gibbons as part of it
no more or less important than any classical composer
In 2007, he received one of his most important commissions from fellow Pole Andrzej Wajda, the famed chronicler of Polish history in his justly lauded films. Wajda was directing “Katyn,” based on the events surrounding the Katyn Massacre
which claimed the life of Penderecki’s uncle among the other thousands killed and buried
It was a way to close an important chapter in his life
to say something final about the events that had haunted his childhood and influenced his work as a composer
Penderecki’s legacy has been assured from nearly the moment he started composing a half a century ago
His music helped us reckon with the disastrous human rights violations that marked the middle of the 1900s
helped us hear cries made mute for the first time
turned the abstract toll of cruelty into something concrete
Krzysztof Penderecki was an artist only the 20th century could have produced
and in turn he shaped it into something more empathetic and something vastly more beautiful than seemed possible.

Truck tire manufacturing continued without disruption; some consumer tire production resumed
London – Tire production at Goodyear’s manufacturing plant in Debica
has been disrupted following a fire that broke out at the factory 20 Aug
Due to “swift and decisive action,” the blaze at the Polish factory was put out on the same night
Goodyear said in a 4 Sept written statement to ERJ
The plant area dedicated to truck tire production at Debica was not impacted by the fire and production is ongoing without any disruptions
“We are currently in the process of assessing the losses and estimating their impact on specific product codes,” said Goodyear
noting that “some consumer tire production resumed on 22 Aug.”
Goodyear said all its associates are safe and uninjured and that its leadership team was collaborating with local authorities to investigate the cause of the incident
According to ERJ’s 2022 Global Tire Report
the Debica plant has a nameplate capacity to produce 48,000 units per day of passenger car/light truck

A new SUV winter range is available from Dębica
the newcomer is described as a “wallet-friendly tyre that is suitable for all winter conditions.” It joins the Frigo 2 and Frigo HP2 in the Dębica winter portfolio and will be available in six sizes
The first three come to market this month and a further two are scheduled to launch before the end of the year
The Frigo SUV2 has a v-shaped tread pattern that is designed to disperse water and thus combat aquaplaning
and the tread contains multiple edges and sipes that dig into the snow to provide extra grip
The Goodyear brand also points out that the Frigo SUV2 comes with a wider footprint that offers a larger contact patch to aid braking on icy surfaces
the tyre’s construction was developed with rolling resistance optimisation in mind
“When our engineers created the Dębica Frigo SUV2
we purposely designed it to deliver strong performance at a reasonable price,” comments Piotr Nagalski
“Drivers now have a tire which excels in all winter conditions while being friendly to the wallet.”

Krzysztof Penderecki: A Christian composer on Jewish themes
World-renowned Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki – widely regarded as one of the greatest composers of the last half-century — died on Sunday
(While members of his family and inner circle are reported to have had symptoms of the new coronavirus
Penderecki is said to have died from complications due to a long illness.)
While you may have never heard of Penderecki
you almost definitely have heard his music
Penderecki has been a favorite of filmmakers for decades
especially those whose work tend toward the moody
The directors who have used selections from Penderecki’s classical songbook include Stanley Kubrick (“The Shining,” “2001: A Space Odyssey”)
Martin Scorsese’s “Shutter Island” featured Penderecki’s Symphony No
and a vast portion of his work addressed Christian themes (he was brought up in the Armenian church)
Penderecki did write pieces that were overtly Jewish both thematically and musically
Penderecki himself attributed his interest in and the influence of the Jewish world to his childhood growing up in the southeastern Poland town of Dębica
the majority of the town was populated by Hasidim
whose ancestral home straddled the Jewish quarter
grew up hearing the sounds of Jewish life – the Yiddish language
and the rhythms of the Jewish wedding bands
Living on the edge of the Jewish quarter also gave Penderecki a front-row seat to the expulsion of the Jews by the occupying German forces in 1939
has undoubtedly been in my subconscious mind since the war
I saw the destruction of the ghetto in my small native town of Dębica,” he once said
Penderecki acknowledged the strong influence of his early exposure to Jewish life on his music
“It is strange that after all these years the music that I had in my ears comes back
klezmer music is reiterated intentionally – in the ‘Sextet’ and even in the ‘Concerto Grosso.’ I most likely heard the motifs as a child.”
in pieces like “Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima” and “The Passion According to St
Luke,” were solidly avant-garde and atonal — Penderecki first called his Threnody “8:37,” in an overt nod to John Cage
It was always colored by his wide-ranging palette of sounds; included extreme dynamics from a whisper to a scream; and pulsed to an inner rhythm that seemingly defied any measure of time
an heir to the geniuses of the late 19th century
rather than an acolyte of his earlier influences
including the aforementioned Cage as well as Webern
Right from the beginning of his career as a composer
Penderecki incorporated Jewish themes and motifs into his work
One of his earliest pieces is 1958’s “David’s Psalms” – based on texts by the great 16th century Polish Renaissance poet Jan Kochanowski
“Strophy,” included Hebrew texts alongside Greek and Persian
Penderecki’s 1963 composition “Brygada Śmierci (Death’s Brigade)” was based on diary entries by Leon Weliczker
A critic at online magazine Culture.PL wrote
“Weliczker’s text is a truly shocking testimony of the Holocaust – completely emotionless and terrifyingly detailed
Penderecki decided to use it without any modifications
only adding sound effects that were created at the Polish Radio Experimental Studio.”
One of Penderecki’s most Jewish compositions is “Kadisz (Kaddish),” a four-movement cantata that draws upon the writings of Abraham Cytryn
alongside verses from the books of Jeremiah and Daniel
drawn directly from Jewish liturgy and performed cantorial-style in the original Aramaic
“When writing music for the Kaddish,” said Penderecki
“I evoked the prayers that were sung in Eastern Galicia
He would sing me various melodies that were sung by his grandfather
thus they had to be at least as old as the mid-19th century.” Penderecki dedicated his “Kadisz” to “the Abrahams of Łódź who wanted to live
To the Poles who saved Jews.” The world premiere of the work took place as part of the commemoration of the 65th anniversary of the liquidation of the Łódź ghetto
Penderecki was commissioned by the City of Jerusalem to compose a piece marking its third millennium
was a monumental work informed by patterns of seven
and fragments of seven different texts (six Psalms and an extract from the Book of Ezekiel
Penderecki also addressed the Shoah in “Dies irae” (1967)
written for the uncovering of a monument commemorating victims of Auschwitz
The commission was initially awarded to Henryk Górecki
who found himself unable to complete the work – “he found the theme too horrifying” – and so passed it on to his colleague Penderecki
known also as the “Auschwitz Oratorio” in homage to the Holocaust victims
would take its place as part of his monumental “Polish Requiem.” It was that other Holocaust
that inspired perhaps Penderecki’s best-known work
“Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima” (1959-61)
Rock fans know Penderecki from his work with Radiohead composer-guitarist Jonny Greenwood
Penderecki recorded an album with Greenwood
Writing about a Carnegie Hall concert in 1986
with Penderecki leading the Krakow Philharmonic
New York Times critic Bernard Holland called Penderecki
foreboding and depression.” As it turns out
this deeply Christian composer may have also plumbed the depths of the Jewish soul in some his works

Following on from the release of new summer UHP products for its Fulda and Sava brands
Goodyear has introduced a UHP tyre range for its Poland-based brand
The tyre maker states that the new Presto UHP2 offers greater mileage than the previous-generation tyre thanks to the use of a ‘Uniform Contact Pressure’ design
which distributes pressure over the whole tread contact area and thus spreads wear more evenly
Rolling resistance has also improved through the use of an optimised rolling resistance chafer that controls energy dissipation via the tyre’s rim
Goodyear also states that the asymmetric tread pattern design with stiffer outer rib utilised in the Presto UHP2 allows for “excellent dry braking capabilities.” The tread also features a high number of biting edges – 340 per tyre – that cut the water film on the road
and Goodyear comments that these edges ensure the tyre offers “very good handling and braking on wet surfaces.” Aquaplaning is dealt with by round outside shoulders that are designed to effectively disperse water
“Dębica’s engineers have been working closely together to deliver an ultra-high performance
The advanced technologies featured in this new UHP tyre offers the consumer both purchase and driving satisfaction”
brand director Consumer PBU EMEA at Goodyear
The Dębica Presto UHP2 will be available in 21 sizes
a range that Goodyear says covers approximately 50 per cent of the summer UHP market
Goodyear Tire & Rubber has further confirmed its brand strategy for the coming years
the so-called “redefined roles” for Dunlop
The company has de-premiumised Dunlop in anticipation of growth within tiers 2 and 3 of the tyre market in the next half-decade at the expense of tier 1

Dunlop will thus gain “renewed focus and investment” as a “strategic player within the high-end value segment of the market.” Goodyear is targeting the range at drivers looking for “long-lasting quality at a fair price.” The Dunlop car tyre range will expand to cover 84 per cent of the market from 2024 with summer
While Goodyear will serve as the company’s global premium brand and Dunlop as a pan-European global brand
Fulda and Sava will offer solutions for motorists “seeking affordable and durable tyres.” Goodyear states that “all brands will be available throughout Europe to provide tyre dealers additional options ensuring that partnering with Goodyear offers comprehensive coverage across the premium
Avon and Fulda will keep their significant role in the low-end value segment in the UK and in Germany respectively
where they hold “considerable history and recognition in the value tier.” Similarly
Dębica and Sava will retain their remit in the budget segment in Eastern Europe
Cooper Tires will have a long-term focus on 4×4 vehicle fitments
continuing its strong position in the off-road segment
this repositioning means it is as a group poised to “take advantage of a wider range of the market than ever before,” with brands and products at every price point
The aim is to enhance dealers’ choice when offering Goodyear tyres
“Our ambition is to continue to grow Goodyear group’s market share and position Goodyear’s portfolio as the most competitive in Europe,” explains David Anckaert
vice president of Goodyear’s consumer tyre business in EMEA
“Our objective is to better deploy our brand portfolio to play to their individual and collective strengths
clearly offering a brand for every type of driver
Goodyear will strengthen its image globally as a symbol of high performance
Our other brands are strategically positioned to offer value to our customers and provide a wide variety of options for consumers
“We are confident that our continued investments in the repositioning of Dunlop brand in Europe will enable us to capitalise on its brand awareness and drive channel growth within the top tier of the value segment.”

After narrowing the starting grid of 51 protagonists down to 20 in a preliminary knockout round
the team at Auto Bild got busy subjecting the survivors to a battery of tests in various conditions
decisive round of winter tyre tests have been announced
Sharing the podium were joint runners-up from Continental and – having delivered a more convincing result than its flagship-brand sibling – Kleber
Auto Bild testers Henning Klipp and Dierk Möller rated the Dunlop Winter Sport 5
Continental WinterContact TS 860 and Kleber Krisalp HP3 as ‘exemplary’ tyres
a lofty status they shared with fourth-placed finisher
It seems Klipp and Möller searched in vain for weaknesses amongst the top four; the test report only lists their strengths
including “stable handling qualities in all weather conditions
best efficiency” (Dunlop); “good winter characteristics
high steering precision and dynamic handling on snowy and wet surfaces
low rolling resistance” (Continental); good value for money
best driving characteristics on packed snow
short stopping distance and low rolling noise (Kleber); balance
low rolling noise and rolling resistance (Fulda)
Weaknesses were identified in the tyres finishing behind the top four: The Hankook I*Cept RS² displayed slightly elevated rolling resistance and undistinguished curved aquaplaning results
the Goodyear UltraGrip 9 an extended dry braking distance
and the Debica Frigo HP2 and Falken Eurowinter HS01 issues with lateral control
They delivered positive results for handling
short braking distances (Debica) as well as snow and dry handling
The next ten tyres were rated ‘satisfactory’
“Modest wet qualities” held the Nokian WR D4 back from a better result
while the Uniroyal MS Plus 7 was marked down for extended braking distances as well as its handling characteristics on dry road surfaces
Ranked eight places beneath its mid-brand stablemate from Kleber
the Michelin Alpin 5 was handicapped by limited performance on snow and highish rolling resistance
The Semperit Master Grip 2 displayed a lengthy braking distance and lukewarm handling in the dry
and the latter also plagued the Cinturato Winter
The Pirelli tyre was also deemed to have “limited mileage performance.” The Bridgestone Blizzak LM001 Evo was found wanting in lateral control and took too long to stop in the snow
while the Yokohama BluEarth Winter (V905) displayed “only average grip levels” on snow-covered roads
limited mileage” were criticisms levelled against the Barum Polaris 3
Testers Klipp and Möller found the Vredestein Snowtrac 5 to have restricted wet grip levels and only average mileage and efficiency
Rounding out the crop of tyres with a ‘satisfactory’ rating was the Matador MP92 Sibir Snow
which lost points for delayed steering response
lengthy braking distances in the dry and limited mileage
the second round of testing resulted in a ‘conditionally recommended’ rating
The first of these was the Firestone Winterhawk 3
whose grip was notably limited and its steering response in the wet delayed
displayed lengthy wet and dry braking distances and only moderate comfort levels
that the both Firestone and Gislaved tyres performed well enough to progress to the second round of testing
This wasn’t the case for 31 of the 51 tyres evaluated by Auto Bild
“All budget tyres and no-names were already eliminated through our safety check in the preliminary round,” noted Henning Klipp and Dierk Möller in their concluding comments
the low-priced candidates from the Kleber and Fulda second brands presented themselves as affordable and without blemish.”
Musicians from Anne-Sophie Mutter to Jonny Greenwood are paying tribute to the iconic Polish composer
The iconic Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki
best known for his Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima
Krzysztof Penderecki (1933 – 2020)
while his maternal grandmother was Armenian
and took the young Penderecki with her to an Armenian church
which – along with the klezmer music of the Jewish community Penderecki heard as a child in Dębica – would have an influence on his later compositions
Penderecki studied composition privately with Franciszek Skołyszewski
and then with Artur Malawski and Stanisław Wiechowicz – a prominent composer of choral music – at the Academy of Music in Kraków
The beginning of his career coincided with a ‘thaw’ in communist Poland following the death of Stalin in 1953
and Penderecki shot to fame in Europe’s avant-garde circles when in 1959 three of his scores (Strophes
took out the three top prizes in the Competition of Young Composers of the Polish Composers’ Union
The best-known work of this early period – and indeed
his most famous work today – is his Threnody for the Victims of..

Whereas most publications and organisations typically include no more than ten contenders in their tyre tests
Germany’s Auto Bild prefers to line up dozens of products and then eliminate all but the most promising in a knockout round
The latest Auto Bild winter tyre test is no exception – no less than 51 tyres were subject to wet and snow braking tests to determine which would stay in the running to be evaluated in greater detail
The results of this initial round have now been published
From the 51 size 195/65 R15 91H that began the Auto Bild test
21 were sent home after shaming themselves in the 80 to 0 km/h wet braking test
The remaining 30 were then brought to a stop on snow from 50 km/h and the average stopping distance for both tests was calculated
The ten tyres with the longest average braking distance were then given their marching orders
leaving 20 finalists to slug it out for glory in the more comprehensive second round of evaluations
The list of tyres continuing on to the second round contains numerous ‘usual suspects’ – and so does the list of tyres that didn’t make the grade
The first of these groups includes many premium brands while the second is quite budget-heavy
is as follows: Continental WinterContact TS 860
Firestone Winterhawk 3 and Yokohama BluEarth Winter (V905)
The tyres weeded out by wet braking test were: Antares Grip 20
Lassa Snoways 3 and Imperial Snowdragon HP
The average of the wet and snow braking tests put the lid on the following tyres’ dreams of victory: Westlake Snowmaster SW608
Apollo Alnac 4G Winter and Nexen Winguard Snow’G WH2
The results of the following round of testing are due to be published before the end of this week
makes a presentation on behalf of his uncle to Dr
Head of the Professor George Nicholson Artificial Kidney Unit
Looking on were BCA Vice President Calvin Hope and Debica Hall
General Manager of Cricket Legends of Barbados
A donation in the name of the late Seymour Nurse was made to the Professor George Nicholson Artificial Kidney Unit at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) yesterday
The Artificial Kidney Unit had cared for the late
great West Indian cricketer and with the help of the Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) and Cricket Legends of Barbados
Vice President Calvin Hope explained the reason for the donation and said that he hoped it would be put to good use by the unit to care for those who suffer from kidney-related issues
Nurse had received excellent care from the Renal Unit and had ongoing dialysis and for the gratitude by his daughters
they asked the Barbados Cricket Association to arrange for a collection of some funds at the funeral.”
The proceeds from that collection at the funeral last year
was combined with contributions from other entities and persons
The presentation was made by nephew Sherwyn Nurse to Dr
Belle extended sincere gratitude to the family of the late legend and highlighted her experience with the cricketer was a pleasant one with Nurse portraying a kind
“It is always very heartwarming to recognise when people just step forward without any specific aim in mind other than to just help others.”
Belle went on to say that the unit was grateful and did have challenges economically
especially with the increasing number of patients being cared for with kidney disease and those in need of dialysis
