Russia's Artur Abusev has won back-to-back Junior Boys' Singles titles on the ITTF World Junior Circuit following his triumph over Bastien Rembert (6-11 11-8) on a successful day for the sixth seed at the 2017 Polish Junior and Cadet Open on Thursday 25th May Victory in Wladyslawowo–Cetniewo comes exactly a week after his title win at the recent 2017 Spanish Junior and Cadet Open Artur Abusev has looked in a positive mind set and in his opening two encounters of the day the sixth seed registered good outcomes against Japan’s Jo Yokotani (11-7 11-3) and Belgium’s Valentin Pieraert (7-11 Next up for Artur Abusev was a last eight match against Matteo Mutti of Italy which was decided across five ends (11-6 11-2) before the Russian representative booked his place in the final with a fantastic straight games win against top seed Cristian Pletea in the semi-finals (11-2 11-5) with Bastien Rembert progressing through to the final in the lower half of the draw The final proved to be a fascinating showdown between the two contestants as both players fought it out for the chance to lift the Junior Boys’ Singles trophy for the second occasion at an ITTF World Junior Circuit event in 2017 Bastien Rembert was the standout player in the category at the 2017 French Junior and Cadet Open and looked on course to triumph in Wladyslawowo after the French representative edged ahead following the conclusion of the opening three games Artur Abusev kept up the fight and with the next three games going in the Russian player’s favour the final ended with a 4-2 scoreline (6-11 Despite Bastien Rembert’s defeat in the Junior Boys’ Singles final there was some joy for the player and his country in the Junior Boys’ Doubles tournament The title was guaranteed to be received by France regardless of the result in the final with both pairings involved in the title match representing the nation Irvin Bertrand and Jules Rolland made a strong start to the tie and after two tight games a commanding lead had been established by the second seeds but a resilient effort saw a tremendous comeback from the fourth seeded partnership of Remi Menand and Bastien Rembert who picked up three consecutive games to claim the title (9-11 Follow the action live on the Official ITTF Channel. z o.o have signed a preliminary lease agreement for the Władysławowo Port that will serve as an operations and maintenance (O&M) base for the BC-Wind offshore wind project in Poland The O&M base will be established on a 3,500 square metres area located at the port’s quayside and passenger terminal that will include a warehouse and logistics hub of 3,000 square metres and a quay of approximately 500 square metres The port will be both a base for servicing around 31 wind turbines located about 36 kilometres from the port and a facility not only used during the operational phase but also during the construction period of the offshore wind farm says that the appropriate location of the service and maintenance base is a key factor in determining the efficiency of the wind farm’s operation and the stability of the energy supply “The location in the port of Władysławowo meets all our expectations in terms of the distance from the offshore wind farm and thus the response time of the service teams” The route from the port to the wind farm area is 20 nautical miles and will take approximately 75 minutes (at a speed of about 16 knots) a joint venture between EDP Renewables and ENGIE says that the investment in Władysławowo is expected to boost the local supply chain and increase employment opportunities in the city and the region around the Baltic Sea The choice of Władysławowo for the location of the service base was made with the full support of the Puck Poviat Starosty “I see the choice of the Puck Poviat for the construction of the service base for the Ocean Winds offshore wind farm not only as our local contribution to Poland’s energy independence as an opportunity for the development of the Poviat With the construction of the service base as well as during its exploration new jobs will be created and the local infrastructure will develop dynamically” The Polish Energy Regulatory Office awarded Ocean Winds with a Contract for Difference (CfD) in July 2021 for its BC-Wind offshore wind farm Located about 23 kilometres from the coastline to the north of Krokowa and Choczewo municipalities in Poland’s Baltic Sea Exclusive Economic Zone the project will have a capacity of 399 MW and wind turbines of about 13 MW each The BC-Wind offshore

with the Australian company Sea Global and its Polish subcontractor PGNiG Gazoprojekt to prepare design documentation and obtain a building permit for offshore export cables for the BC-Wind offshore wind farm in the Polish Baltic Sea The scope of the contract covers a section of two 220 kV export cables from the offshore substation to the connection point with the onshore section of the cables which also includes sea-to-land directional drilling Under the contract signed with Ocean Winds the two companies will be responsible for the optimisation and design of the subsea cable route received the right to a contract for differences and an environmental decision and selected Władysławowo as a marine service base Ocean Winds now focuses on cooperation with direct and indirect subcontractors of key elements of the project. The signed contract brings us closer to obtaining a building permit for the farm,” said Kacper Kostrzewa The BC-Wind offshore wind farm is being developed by Ocean Winds the international company dedicated to offshore wind energy and created by ENGIE and EDPR The 399 MW project is to be built about 23 kilometres north of the municipalities of Choczewo and Krokowa in the Pomeranian Voivodeship. It will comprise a maximum of 31 wind turbines located approximately 23 kilometres from the port in Władysławowo. BC-Wind is being implemented according to schedule with geophysical and geotechnical surveys starting last month. The developer plans to start commercial operations of the offshore wind farm in 2027.

That mechanism is known as peripersonal space the region in and around a person’s body (peri comes from the Ancient Greek meaning ‘about’ Peripersonal space exists in various forms across the animal kingdom from fish and fruit flies to wild horses and chimpanzees The neuroscience behind it sheds fascinating light on how humans and other animals conceive of themselves and their boundaries Where is the dividing line between you and the world You might think that this is a clean-cut question with a simple answer – your skin is the boundary with the self on one side and the rest of the world on the other But peripersonal space shows that the division is messy and malleable and the boundary is blurrier than you might think The peripersonal zone is a nexus where space time and survival are tightly bound together Maintaining a buffer of peripersonal space is important because it gives an animal time to react to a threat before it’s too late A predator isn’t merely present at an objective distance but feels either too close for comfort or far enough away and this significance depends on what matters to you The story of peripersonal space is thus a story about the entanglement of space and meaning It’s also the story of why ‘needing space’ during stressful times is more than just a metaphor or how we can successfully navigate the crowded metro during rush hour or how we can hammer a nail without hitting our thumb a story of all the beautiful neural engineering that allows for self-protection in an ever-changing world Hediger’s concentric zones capture the logic of escalating threat: the closer something is A snake across the field gives you time to think about what to do A snake next to your foot requires immediate action ‘By far the chief preoccupation of wild animals at liberty is finding safety,’ Hediger noted But pain is a last-ditch warning system: by the time you feel it Keeping a buffer of space around you doesn’t require a conscious desire to avoid danger Many of these small adjustments are performed automatically and we barely notice when we do them – though sometimes we can consciously feel the proximity of others social psychologists and anthropologists such as Edward T Hall have noted that we feel discomfort when other people get too close When you’re seated alone on a long empty bench in a waiting room and a perfect stranger sits down beside you his intrusion within your space is almost certain to make you feel uncomfortable One way to interpret this effect is that your perceptual system anticipates this perfect stranger touching you and you experience this social contact as being unwelcome – repulsive in a very literal sense for all the talk of boundaries and special margins it was a long time before scientists realised that that the distinction between near and far in space is one that the brain also treats as especially important The neuroscientist Giacomo Rizzolatti and his collaborators were the first to find evidence that peripersonal space was specially encoded by the brain they found neurons that fired not only when a monkey was touched on the skin but also when it saw a flash of light near its body The sensitive region of the space was locked to the body itself; if a neuron fired in response to threats near the hand the bubble of space it monitored would move as the hand moved The neuroscientist Michael Graziano provided further insight into the role of these neurons by stimulating them via tungsten microelectrodes inserted directly into the brains of macaques Electrical current in these regions would cause the macaque to act as if it were under threat: flinching twisting or raising its hand to ward off unseen dangers cooling the same neurons to prevent them from firing kept the monkey from responding to apparent threats Peripersonal space isn’t just a zone you use to protect yourself The same mechanism has since been described in humans and appears to be present from an early age What is close to our body can soon be in contact with it either because the nearby object moves or because you move It’s almost as if it were already touching us seeing or hearing objects close to us affects our tactile sensations as discovered by the neuroscientist Andrea Serino and his team hearing noises occurring near the body part This is why Graziano qualifies peripersonal space as a ‘second skin’ even if the person coughing is relatively far away we’ll perceive her as being close because we feel that she can have an impact on us To provide further clues on the neuropsychology of peripersonal space, pioneers in the field such as Elisabetta Làdavas and Alessandro Farnè have investigated a curious phenomenon known as visuo-tactile extinction some patients can still correctly detect touch on their left hand – unless they’re simultaneously touched on their right hand in the corresponding spot in which case they can’t feel the touch on the left the same thing happens whether the right hand is touched or if they just see something close to the same spot Visuo-tactile extinction reveals a deep organising principle of the nervous system: perception reacts not just to what is present but also to what we predict will be there soon Prediction is a necessary compromise for the slow speed of neurons A signal from a stubbed toe can take anywhere between a half and two seconds to make its way up to the brain so our brains have found a workaround by anticipating what might be happening in order to provide a speedy response since anticipation allows faster reaction times and better sensory processing All the talk of speedy reactions can make it sound like protective behaviour is merely reflexive But our protective response is also influenced by what we know about potential threats and their context Hediger’s animals offer an obvious case: the zebra will flee from a nearby lion A study by Giandomenico Iannetti and his collaborators showed that shocks to the wrist don’t occur if a thin wooden screen is placed between the wrist and the face Knowing that what goes on at your wrist can’t affect your face Peripersonal space isn’t just a zone you use to protect yourself from the world but also from which to explore and act upon it The area shrinks and grows depending on what you can do the leaves will be conceived as being in your immediate surrounding even if they are quite far: the rake extends what counts as peripersonal if your arm is immobilised (perhaps by a cast) then your peripersonal space shrinks closer to your body Peripersonal space thus exists in a curious dual relationship with both attraction and repulsion Cutting tomatoes involves using a tool to extend yourself and also protecting yourself from the dangerous knife right next to your fingers But the world isn’t merely a space of dangers and tools – it’s also a world full of chocolate and raspberries all these things that we like and that we don’t want to avoid Peripersonal space is also where the good things in life happen We can’t survive just by building an impenetrable buffer around ourselves The fact that peripersonal space is crucial to shaping both positive and negative interactions shows something deep about the evolution of the brain Peripersonal space depends on predicting contact and contact prediction is useful both when that contact is welcome and when it’s to be avoided Whether you’re dodging a ball or catching it and to be ready you need to anticipate what’s coming your way While peripersonal space first evolved for self-defence its mechanisms have clearly been recycled to take advantage of opportunities in the immediate surroundings This shift of function is in line with our general understanding of how evolution works by co-opting or recycling existing resources for new uses ‘Evolution does not produce novelties from scratch either transforming a system to give it new functions or combining several systems to produce a more elaborate one,’ as the Nobel laureate François Jacob put it This process is known formally as exaptation While an adaptation is a new trait that was selected for the way it improved an organism’s fitness exaptations retool existing useful structures for new purposes A classic example of exaptation concerns the role of feathers in birds which would have been originally selected due to their role in thermoregulation and only later co-opted for flight Some cognitive abilities (maybe most of them) can also be conceived of as exaptations of existing brain resources: brain regions aren’t dedicated to a single task but are recycled to support numerous cognitive abilities Recycling makes sense from an evolutionary perspective since it’s more efficient than developing whole new neural systems using the same mechanisms for different purposes doesn’t come for free It’s in the social realm that it might be most difficult to find the right balance between too close and too far Allowing someone to touch your neck is an incredibly vulnerable act The way that humans respond to people or things that are in our space encompasses our assessment of their social significance. Necks are traditionally considered an erogenous zone. Yet the skin of your neck is actually one of the least sensitive parts of your body, at least in terms of pure tactile discrimination. Instead, as Graziano notes: Our neck is ‘sensitive’ because we have a powerful instinct to protect it Allowing someone to touch your neck is thus an incredibly vulnerable act – one that demands considerable attraction to overcome the ordinary drive to flinch those who can tolerate a bit of distance certainly have an easier time of it when distance is demanded The 19th-century philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer made this vivid with a metaphor: Schopenhauer suggests that people who can tolerate the cold will prefer to stay outside the prickly huddle altogether where they ‘will neither prick others nor get pricked themselves’ those who normally seem coldest and most aloof likely found the COVID-19 pandemic most tolerable it can be easy to think of ourselves as little social atoms But the research on peripersonal space suggests quite the opposite Our peripersonal space grows and shrinks depending on how we feel and who we’re around; you can think of it like a balloon expanding or deflating depending on your mood and your temperament The year 2020 was a worldwide social experiment in keeping our distance Even in groups trying to adhere to the rules you couldn’t help noticing that people didn’t neatly space themselves out on a two-metre grid Nor did everyone feel the same way about how they maintained distance from others Anxious people tend to find more of significance (and danger) around them and studies show that anxiety can be measured by a corresponding expansion of peripersonal space It’s also clear that individuals differ in their tolerance for physical and emotional closeness Some look terrified if you’re a centimetre too close Others crowd in queues as if nothing had changed Nor is people’s sense of appropriate distance evenly distributed in all directions The early days of social distancing found people queuing in ways that left careful distance front-to-back and virtually nothing side-to-side The animal welfare proponent Temple Grandin’s work with cattle showed that flight zones are often asymmetric: an animal needs more time to turn if it is to bolt from a threat from the side Could a focus on airborne contagion – coughs sneezes – have made people especially focused on the distance from their face Our peripersonal space might be less like a balloon or bubble and more like the tassels or fringes on a scarf What’s clear is that peripersonal space doesn’t correspond to an objective region of space with a stable peripersonal space is a subjective region that you represent as being directly relevant for you It bears the traces of what – and whom – you have encountered Closeness requires trust: it’s been shown that you tolerate the proximity of people whom you judge as decent more than those you think of as immoral The invisible bounds of peripersonal space thus trace a delicate balance between trust and caution People who spend time near you also shape your peripersonal space in return since social interactions require us to be able to work together A study by the cognitive scientist Natalie Sebanz and her group shows the difference that working with a partner makes to the way you represent your surroundings If you’re working alone or with someone unreliable objects you’re working on that are close to you will feel like they’re in your peripersonal space who is paying attention to all the visual stimuli the objects no longer feel like they’re in that buffer zone The social aspect of learning embodied skills further underscores the importance of having a finely tuned sense of peripersonal space: imagine the challenges of sitting next to someone trying to emulate what they’re doing while keeping your delicate fingertips away from the sharp edges In telling the story of peripersonal space it seems reasonably simple to separate out the effect of people and objects all of these assessments are bound together just as people and places and things are bundled up together in our emotional lives the deeper story of the limits of our peripersonal space might reveal that it’s less like a balloon or bubble and more like the tassels or fringes on a scarf – loose and sculpted by the changing breeze adapting itself to a world of threats and opportunities EmailSavePostShareSYNDICATE THIS ESSAYSaveessay The Norse ravaged much of Europe for centuries.

Polish women to terminate their pregnancies on board a Dutch tugboat that has been dubbed by many as the "abortion ship," left the port of Wladyslawowo on Thursday and headed for international waters where doctors are planning to provide safe abortion services for Polish women who are banned by law from obtaining the procedures in their own country a gynecological treatment room and information on family planning and contraception as the pro-choice group behind the Langenort is called The activists say they aim to draw attention to the problems of illegal abortions and offer women counseling The group is licensed by the Dutch Health Ministry to dispense the "abortion pill" RU-486 it may in the international waters some 12 miles (19 kilometers) off the Polish shore the "morning after pill" and the means to perform clinical abortions eight crew members and as many as 20 women who were seeking abortions But the organization that has brought the ship to Poland is also seeking to make a political statement Only the Polish government can help these women," Women on Waves founder Rebecca Gomperts told Deutsche Welle The Langenort has been faced with difficulties since it made its way to Poland The boat was met by angry protesters from the League of Polish Families (LPR) who hollered insults and threw stones and red paint at the ship when it pulled into Wladyslawowo on Sunday It was soon visited by police and customs officials who sealed the medication they found on board on Wednesday in order to prevent its distribution in Poland But the group will not be prosecuted if it breaks the seals in international waters Before the boat was allowed to leave Polish waters again Women on Waves had to pay a fine levied by the Wladyslawowo harbor master for entering the port without permission Gomperts said the breach had been the result of a misunderstanding between the English-speaking captain and Polish-speaking harbor officials Gomperts said the activists were invited to Wladyslawowo by Polish women's organizations "That's the main reason [we came]," she explained "But also because abortion was legal until ten years ago Protesters have managed to prevent Women on Waves from opening the ship to the public so far But Gomperts said the group has received enthusiastic support from Poles They plan to stay in or near Poland until July 5 Poland's abortion laws have changed numerous times since the fall of communism in 1989 depending on who controlled the government which has been passed back and forth between conservatives and leftist communists Poland has one

whose legal system the Dutch group has sought to circumvent to provide abortions Women on Waves first attracted attention in 2001 when the group sailed to Ireland in a similar undertaking But they
