Prince Harry has been branded deluded for thinking the release of his memoir will allow him the same place in Hollywood as Barack Obama. Royal author and the founder of the To Di For Daily podcast issued this claim. She made the admission to Express UK during the course of their interview and was quoted saying, “What I think he’s trying to do is brand himself as a Mark Zuckerberg, Barack Obama — some guy that can get $100,000 dollars for a speech in Miami to a bunch of rich dudes.” “I think he is trying to brand himself as a leader in the United States and will use his book to try to do that.” “He wanted to try to rewrite his story and to be this phoenix rising from the ashes. That is the route I think he is going to go.” … [Read more...] about Prince Harry ‘trying to reaffirm’ Meghan Markle as ‘A-list hero with memoir

A Trial Marriage to Stephen Sondheim

Photo: Courtesy of the Rodgers-Beaty-Guettel family In the four years between her explosive separation from Jerry Beaty in 1957 and her Mexican wedding to Henry Guettel in 1961, Mary Rodgers (1931–2014) composed the music for Once Upon a Mattress, ushered the show to Broadway and London, assisted Leonard Bernstein on his Young People’s Concerts, and wrote songs for everyone from Bing Crosby to Captain Kangaroo. All this while raising three young children and juggling many unlikely husband prospects, including the producer Hal Prince; a married editor she called Boston Jack; her Mattress lyricist, Marshall Barer, who was gay; and a CIA operative named Cord Meyer. Finally, there was the man she had met and fallen hard for at Oscar Hammerstein’s farm when she was barely a teenager: Stephen Sondheim. Would their affection take the turn they’d described in a song they … [Read more...] about A Trial Marriage to Stephen Sondheim
Fred Savage Accused of ‘Erratic’ Misconduct by the
Fred Savage Photo: Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images Fred Savage, the executive producer and director of the Wonder Years reboot who played the lead role in the 1988 original, was fired from the reboot in May following allegations of misconduct on the set of the show, a 20th Television rep confirmed at the time. Savage was previously accused of misconduct on the set of the original Wonder Years in 1993 and Fox’s The Grinder , which ran from 2015 to 2018. On August 9, new details emerged about the misconduct allegations, with multiple female crew members telling The Hollywood Reporter that Savage’s alleged “erratic” behavior and proximity to a young woman on set led six women on the crew to report Savage to HR, which resulted in a swift investigation. “To their credit, I was contacted within hours,” one woman tells THR . “An investigation started immediately and he was barred from set.” Beyond Savage’s alleged multiple personas (higher-ups “all see his … [Read more...] about Fred Savage Accused of ‘Erratic’ Misconduct by the
Perfume bottle manufacturer for Gucci and L’Oréal in danger
Heinz-Glas is one of Germany's biggest glass bottle manufacturers and produces perfume bottles for illustrious brands such as Gucci and L'Oréal. While the industry has weathered many storms, the current gas crisis rocking the country could prove fatal. At the Bavarian plant, almost 70 tonnes of glass are made every day, at temperatures of up to 1,600 degrees. Massive amounts of gas are used, which has become an endangered and increasingly expensive resource. The rise in energy costs is driving up production costs as Vice President Murat Agac explains. "Since the invasion of Ukraine, some gas and energy prices have risen tenfold compared to 2019 while other costs are even 20 times the price they were. "So, prices are volatile, but basically, they are way too high and it's hardly economically sustainable anymore." If Russian gas suppliers were to turn off the taps, the move would prove disastrous for the industry that produces a million of these bottles daily in … [Read more...] about Perfume bottle manufacturer for Gucci and L’Oréal in danger
Кто лидирует в ветроэнергетике Евросоюза?
Германия остается европейским лидером в ветроэнергетике. Об этом говорится в только что опубликованном докладе организации WindEurope . В целом в 2016 году количество новых ветряных установок в Евросоюзе сократилось на 3 % по сравнению с 2015 годом. Тем не менее в прошлом году с помощью этого возобновляемого вида энергии было выработано 12 с половиной тысяч гигаватт. Германия является традиционным лидером в производстве ветровых турбин. Общая мощность ее собственных ветроэлектростанций – около трети суммарной производительности ветропарков Евросоюза. По данным WindEurope, в прошлом году ее установки выработали 5 тысяч дополнительных гигаватт. Неудивительно, что эта страна решительнее многих европейских соседей отказывается от ядерной энергетики . Франция и Нидерланды в 2016 году также значительно увеличили количество ветряных производственных мощностей, но в других государствах Европы ситуация не столь радужная. “В прошлом году более половины стран Евросоюза … [Read more...] about Кто лидирует в ветроэнергетике Евросоюза?
El poder del viento en Europa
¿Qué país europeo es el líder en materia de energía eólica? Alemania encabeza las inversiones en energía eólica en un momento en el que parecen estancarse en el seno de la Unión Europea, según lo revela un nuevo informe . Según datos de Wind Europe, el país, que está reduciendo gradualmente su dependencia de la energía nuclear , sumó más de cinco gigavatios de potencia eólica a lo largo de 2016. Francia y Holanda también incrementaron notablemente su capacidad eólica en el mismo periodo, pero los vientos parecen soplar en otra dirección en buena parte de la Unión. “El año pasado, más de la mitad de los países de la UE no invirtieron nada en energía eólica”, afirma Oliver Joy, portavoz de Wind Europe. “Esto es preocupante, porque muestra que las instalaciones se concentran cada vez más en determinados mercados, sobre todo en el noroeste de Europa y en los países nórdicos. Actualmente, sólo siete de los 28 estados miembros tienen planes claros para las energías … [Read more...] about El poder del viento en Europa
