known all over the world and made by a Swede This year marks the 100th anniversary of the iconic The Swede worked at Surte glassworks near Gothenburg and immigrated to the U.S In 1915 he made his mark with the help of plant supervisor Earl R. Dean in the design of the Coca-Cola bottle at the Root Glass Company in Terre Haute, Indiana. (A design whose popularity was also immortalized by another Swede, Haddon Sundblom, who created the Coca-Cola advertising with images of Santa Claus in the 1930s: I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick) Samuelsson was a senior manager at Chapman Root Bottling and his name is on the patent though he didn’t get rich with the design (business owner Chapman J modeled after a kola nut — one of the ingredients the flagship product was named for — became one of the world's most famous considered genius because it was easy to grip looked good and the glass didn’t break if it was dropped The bottles are smaller today but still hold the shape it was given 100 years ago Ikea is probably known best for its assemble-it-yourself furniture (sold with a side of Swedish meatballs the retailer is setting its sights on something new -- the smart home Ikea is set to start rolling out a line of connected lighting products designed to be simple These include light bulbs and also LED light panels that can come built into Ikea cabinetry All of the products will communicate with each other using built-in ZigBee radios -- the same standard used by Philips Hue among others in the connected lighting category After syncing the lights up with an Ikea ZigBee hub that you plug into your router you'll be able to control the lights from your phone or program them to turn on and off automatically at preset times Listings are already live on the Swedish version of Ikea's website -- here's a full rundown: The standard-size Trådfri smart LED You can mount Ikea's Floalt LED panels to your wall or ceiling This Bestå cabinet features two Surte LED doors You can control Ikea's lights using this wireless remote It's worth reiterating that those US UK and Australian prices are all just rough conversions from the Swedish listings Ikea tells CNET that it plans to start rolling these products out across Europe and North America on March 31 but region-by-region pricing and availability is yet to be confirmed You can connect multiple Floalt panels together to form a grid of smart lights on your wall What's interesting here is that this is such a wide lineup, and one that offers so many different ways in for consumers who might be new to smart lighting. A number of starter kits and combo deals are available, too, including a base package that includes the gateway hub and two Trådfri bulbs for 749 Krona (about $85/£70/AU$110) Ikea's website gives no indication that these products will sync up with any larger smart home platforms like Wink Apple HomeKit or Amazon's Alexa for voice controls but all would make sense should the Swedish retailer choose to expand The potential is certainly there if the product line proves popular Even without those sorts of connections at launch the lineup still offers some intriguing utility of its own aside from automating their dimming habits many of the Trådfri lights can also shift color temperatures between a warm Ikea's knack for consistent aesthetics might pay off with the built-in design of those Surte panels or the fact that you can connect multiple Floalt panels together to create a grid of smart lights on your living room wall we'll keep an eye out for the new products here in the States and offer up our first impressions and full reviews of each just as soon as we get our hands on them Editor's note: Updated on 3/28/17 at 10:00 a.m EST to include information about global availability Peaceful demonstrations in Capotillo community On 16th February 2022, “Capotillo Se Levanta” (“Capotillo Rises”), a community movement of social and popular associations in the Santo Domingo sector of Capotillo, convened a protest against the increase in fuel and food costs Using the slogan “Parada Cívica-Popular de Capotillo por los derechos del barrio y del pueblo” (“Civic-Popular Parade of Capotillo for the rights of the neighbourhood and the people”) the protesters also demanded improvements to their neighbourhood – including investment in schools As reported by news outlet Diario Libre, the government militarised the entrances and streets of the community on the day of the protest. Hundreds of heavily armed military and police officers were deployed “We did not see the need for all this militarisation in the neighbourhood, because what this does is intimidate the population and in one way or another people feel dissatisfied,” a protester told news outlet Listin Diario This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License Site by DEV | Login Privacy Policy Contact us privacy@civicus.org You May Also Like: Pooja Joshi Of 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' Is Glowing In Her Colourful Maternity ShootADVT.

Bharti has been very excited for her wedding with her long-time beau Haarsh and so much so that she Japanese manufacturer will leave the sport once again despite returning to the top of the podium since teaming up with Red Bull who will be on the lookout for a third engine supplier in the space of five years I would like to be emailed about offers, events and updates from The Independent. Read our Privacy notice Honda have announced that they will quit Formula One once again at the end of next season, leaving Red Bull and sister-outfit AlphaTauri without an engine supplier for the 2022 campaign Chief executive Takahiro Hachigo confirmed on Friday that the decision was made at the end of September one that has not stemmed from the coronavirus pandemic and the global financial crisis but from the company’s “environmental initiatives” "This is not a result of the coronavirus pandemic but because of our longer-term carbon-free goal," he said From 2022, Honda will use its F1 budget to fund their plans for fuel-cell and battery EV vehicles with the company confirming in a statement: "As the automobile industry undergoes a once-in-one-hundred-years period of great transformation Honda has decided to strive for the 'realisation of carbon neutrality by 2050 "This goal will be pursued as part of Honda's environmental initiatives which is one of the top priorities of Honda as a mobility manufacturer Honda needs to funnel its corporate resources in research and development into the areas of future power unit and energy technologies including fuel cell vehicle (FCV) and battery EV (BEV) technologies which will be the core of carbon-free technologies.” The sudden development will end their latest stint in the sport, which began in 2015 when they powered McLaren in what proved an ill-fated relationship. However, a switch to Toro Rosso in 2018, and subsequently Red Bull the following year, has reaped rewards, with Max Verstappen claiming four of his nine career grand prix wins with Honda power That early success in their first year together helped to achieve and exceed Honda’s target of securing wins in both 2019 and 2020 with Verstappen clinching the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix at Silverstone earlier this year in what has so far proven the only race to be won by a car outside of the two Mercedes drivers of Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas “We thank everyone at Honda for their extraordinary efforts and commitment,” said Red Bull team principal Christian Horner, whose team has already signed up to F1 until at least 2025. "We understand how difficult it has been for Honda Motor Company to reach the decision. We understand and respect the reasoning behind this," "Red Bull Racing remains committed to the sport in the long term. We will now take the time to further evaluate and find the most competitive power unit solution for 2022 and beyond." AlphaTauri boss Franz Tost added: "We want to thank Honda for the fruitful cooperation. We really enjoyed every day we’ve been working together. “We will start looking at all possibilities to find the best Power Unit solution from 2022 onwards.” Honda’s withdrawal is a major blow for both the two teams affected and the sport as a whole, given Red Bull and AlphaTauri have already made it clear that there is no Plan B in place to provide engine support from 2022. Under F1’s regulations, the supplier who currently has the fewest number of customer teams on the grid would be required to power any team left with an engine, which would fall on Renault’s shoulders. But the fallout from the french manufacturer’s ugly split with Red Bull two years ago has not been forgotten, and neither side is likely to favour an immediate reunion. The alternatives would leave Red Bull needing to structure a deal with either Mercedes or Ferrari to use their engines, or persuade another team to enter the sport in the near future. But on a wider scale, Honda’s decision to quit the sport due to environmental influences will raise eyebrows across the sport, and leave F1 sweating on any other engine suppliers who decide to follow suit. Mercedes have put a big emphasis on electrical power after joining Formula E last season, and although Renault have committed to the future through their rebranded Alpine project, they have not been afraid to leave the sport themselves in the past.

She described a daily life in captivity that and a constant dread that they might never make it home "I was just completely at the mercy of whatever they wanted me to do," she said Her captors -- a rotating cast of soldiers and Libyan government officials whose ranks stretched from prison guard up into the Qaddafi family itself -- never seemed especially motivated by either malice or good will but rather by the bureaucratic paralysis and lazy self-interest that often marks autocracies Some days she was given cigarettes or allowed calls home; on others she was stood up before hostile judges or blindfolded for hours-long interrogations or at one point with four African women in a small Tripoli women's prison And I think it's also a system that certainly breeds a lot of incompetence and just reluctance to take any kind positive action Because as long as things motor along in this very slow and very unproductive way at least nothing's getting fucked up," she said It labors under this mental blight of nobody ever expects anything to work out they don't expect it to happen in a speedy manner only made it out of Libya when prison guards mistook him for Foley who they had been ordered to move out of jail and into a safe house for eventual release The bureaucratic mix-up delayed Foley's release from prison -- and thus Gillis and Brabo's release from Libya -- by a week but it may well have saved Chandler's life who earned her PhD in history from Harvard University only months before leaving for Libya where she reported as a freelancer for The Atlantic and USA Today kept meticulous records of her time in detention She was held for two nights at a temporary detention facility in a military camp in Surte or taking the clip out and sticking it back in just making these gun noises to keep us on edge "I was certainly worried about getting raped the danger zone for that had largely passed They had their hands tied behind their backs the three were moved to a military detention center in Tripoli during which they had no news or contact with the outside world they took turns retelling movies that only one of them had seen "We're went through them scene by scene," she laughed "You have to imagine it's actually George Clooney saying this it would have been so devastating," she said "Just the fact that we were able to be together for so much of our captivity .. carrying around this terrible knowledge that we had about Anton it just made a big difference to be able to look over the room" and know she was not alone in her grief for Hammerl though they always discussed him and his death in code for fear of reprisal After so much time had passed with no news or apparent progress in her case "I can't really explain why I was angry instead of scared," she said and that probably wasn't the best frame of mind to be interrogated in." She harangued her interrogators for the military's theft of her things and argued with their insistence on speaking Arabic the three journalists were brought before a judge who sentenced them to prison for illegally entering the country and reporting without permission Gillis was taken to a two-story building that served as a small women's prison She relied on informal sign language to communicate with the four other inmates who were all from Libya or neighboring countries a man who described himself as a personal aid to Saadi Qaddafi He brought a cell phone and allowed her to call her parents Saadi drove his armored SUV up to the prison "You have to get your stuff," they told Gillis I'm here to take you out of this place," he told her which had housed most Western journalists in Tripoli until they had moved to the Rixos across town a few days earlier Gillis was given her own room with a phone which she used to contact her parents and a handful of friends She was also given a laptop and internet access some of the hundreds of news articles describing her captivity She was outraged to read the articles quoting Libyan officials who said Hammerl was safely in the government's capivity Saadi told Gillis that she would be released within a few of days recalling Saadi's intention to release her on World Press Freedom Day on May 1 it became clear that Gillis was not to be released She was moved to a retired military officer's guesthouse having been brought to the house by mistake The four of them stayed at the guesthouse for nearly three weeks a network the Qaddafi regime has accused of inciting the protests in Libya The group sometimes quarreled over their limited supply of cigarettes -- Brabo wanted to ration them -- but mostly remained friendly They frequently discussed their situation and how to move forward puzzling over "the logic of the court system," on which their release seemed at the time to hinge Is it significant that they're not handcuffing us to go outside anymore?" Gillis said they resigned themselves to not knowing what was happening or how their case would resolve and the misdirection that you get in a police state," she recalled and we're just going to break our heads open on the wall." the journalists were again taken before a judge who gave them a suspended sentence of one year and order their release a military convoy arrived at the guesthouse and drove them across the city to the Rixos Hotel where most of the foreign press corps was staying Libyan government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim welcomed them announcing that the Libyan government had treated them well and inviting the four to stay in Tripoli and continue reporting "We'd been talking about the possibility of some publicity stunt," Gillis said but the group was amazed at the bald absurdity of the government's apparent plan to spin their release "We just got swarmed by these reporters," she said of their arrival "It's uncomfortable for any reporter to be on the other side of the cameras and the questions." They were tired and annoyed at having to face the reporter scrum at the Rixos but happy to finally be on their way to freedom Hungarian diplomats picked them up at the hotel and drove them to their embassy in Tripoli a Hungarian diplomatic convoy drove the reporters to the Tunisian border three hours away After spending all day waiting at long immigration control lines they finally crossed the border into Tunisia and out of Libya Brabo was whisked away by Spanish diplomats based in Tunis took a long series of flights back to the U.S who had spent much of the past month and a half in New York and Washington raising awareness for their daughter's case "I was just so happy to be back in the country when we were still in the same cell at the military detention center But whatever our families is imagining is happening to us is a thousand times worse than what actually is happening to us." Gillis's days are filled with phone calls to overjoyed family and friends leaving her glued to the house landline for most of the day "I'm so happy to be able to be with my family again I'm so happy that my sisters came back," she said We’ve always been about getting to know our customers so that we can understand and meet your needs better From our beginnings with battery chargers in 1935 to today’s hydrogen production and renewable energy solutions we are continually growing and evolving to address the challenges and trends you face – now So it was with great pleasure that we were able to share some of our latest ideas and innovations with a delegation of 25 German platers who we welcomed to the KraftPowercon headquarters in Surte last summer The visit had been organised with the Nuremburg District Group of the DGO (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Galvano und Oberflächentechnik) leaders Udo Krüger and Manfred Hoos shared how we are helping our customers to tackle the global challenges of climate change, digitalisation and the use of modern technologies They showed how our expertise and solutions are supporting the general metal finishing industry to improve plating results with fewer resources and less time required The group also looked at how our technology addresses the challenges caused by the rapidly increasing and complex demands of the electronics industry resulting in superior quality and production efficiency when plating high aspect ratio PCBs and miniaturised IC substrates And how we are playing a key role in the design and implementation of electric ecosystems for the green hydrogen value chain the DGO delegates talked directly with our engineers and product experts This experience enabled them to see the quality of our manufacturing and understand exactly why KraftPowercon rectifiers are so reliable Any conversation with our expert team quickly reveals how they have deep plating knowledge and a detailed understanding of how KraftPowercon solutions are used and the environment and constraints within which they operate we also arranged for the DGO group to visit Provexa Ytbehandling AB the fourth largest electroplating shop in Scandinavia and users of KraftPowercon rectifiers since 1987 This visit to Provexa also proved to be something special for our visitors especially being able to exchange ideas on continuous improvement and ways of working in an open and collaborative way And although the DGO’s trip was business-focused we made sure there was plenty of time for leisure pleasure and good food – as well as a beer tasting which we learned is a highlight for Bavarians but we have never felt so valued and appreciated Everyone was there from the KraftPowercon team from engineers to CEO Ranjit [Jakkli],” “And sparing the time to be with us over several days was greatly appreciated” “Being able to get to know more KraftPowercon people better and understand their thinking and their environment was good for us and were genuinely interested in what we had to say – they are all about delivering value and want to help us to get the best results We’ve been relying on their products for many years and it’s good to see that they are so strongly positioned to carry on supporting us in the future” services—and drives innovation—within industrial power supply We create value for customers by ensuring

Find the latest gadget reviews, news, and more focused on the only ad-free tech site in Australia The smart lighting thing has been geared at early adopters for some time but now that IKEA is getting into the spirit more people can see what it’s all about We’ve been wanting to see what IKEA has been doing about smart home technology for some time and it looks like it’s finally happening After hinting last year that its Tradfri (actually written as “TRÅDFRI”) smart lights would be coming to Australia in 2018 and a tumbleweed or two rolling by since then a quick glance to the local IKEA website suggests that the Swedish furniture giant might be staying true to its word According to IKEA Australia’s website we’re beginning to see some of the Tradfri smart lighting gadgets rock up even if they’re not necessarily the easiest smart lighting pieces to start with While IKEA offers Hue-compatible smart lightbulbs overseas as part of its Tradfri range Australia isn’t seeing those to begin with IKEA has added smart lighting dimmers and control mechanisms for its bookshelf lighting components IKEA’s Tradfri only exists in a part made to with with any lighting you might have already wired up for a shelving system at home but there’s more to smart lighting than wirelessly controlling when the shelf lighting will switch on given how invested in the lighting market IKEA is we’re genuinely surprised the first of IKEA’S Tradfri range coming to Australia isn’t a lightbulb since it definitely has those in other markets We checked with IKEA’s local arm on the matter to find out if or when they would be arriving However IKEA has said in the past that Australia would be seeing its Tradfri products in 2018 though it never indicated in what capacity Our guess is that this begins with a trickle as IKEA starts to bring in its entire smart light range which will be compatible with what’s available If anything, IKEA’s currently available smart light remote — the Tradfri remote control — gives an indication of what that might look like “The remote control works with TRÅDFRI LED bulbs FLOALT LED light panels and TRÅDFRI driver for wireless control.” IKEA Australia didn’t have the Tradfri bulbs or Surte so there’s really nothing made by IKEA for the remote to connect to People clued into the smart home are already used to being early adopters so we suspect IKEA’s current line of Tradfri smart lighting gear just adds to that At least they know their gear will be future friendly even if it might take a little bit of extra time before they can use it officially though it should work with Philips Hue equipment we just want to see IKEA roll out its smart lighting gear to solve the E14 lightbulb dilemma: while current smart lightbulbs from companies including Philips will let you upgrade your existing lights to smart lights using A60 and B22 mounts that cover both screw and bayonet smart lights in Australia don’t yet cover the smaller E14 screw mount used by IKEA’s lamps IKEA makes a Tradfri in E14 which would fill this gap and make it possible to turn pretty much every lighting spot in your life into a smartly lit place while also likely bringing down the cost of smart lighting so that everyone can try it Leigh :) Stark is an award winning technology journalist with over 16 years of experience, having appeared at the Financial Review, Popular Science, GadgetGuy, and on TV, radio, print, and web. 2011 ShareSave Sixteen days after she was detained by the Libyan government journalist Clare Morgana Gillis made her first direct contact with outsiders in two weeks today telling her parents in a 15-minute phone call that she is in good health and being held in a women's civilian jail in Tripoli.Her parents said they were happy to learn she was safe but are concerned that she has not been released "We were so relieved to hear from our daughter after having heard nothing for 16 days," Robert said "We still urgently appeal to the Libyan government to let her come home."
