Kate Winslet had a surprising ‘Titanic’ reunion while producing her latest film ‘Lee’ kraken7jmgt7yhhe2c4iyilthnhcugfylcztsdhh7otrr6jgdw667pqd Kate Winslet is sharing an anecdote about a “wonderful” encounter she recently had with someone from her star-making blockbuster film “Titanic.” The Oscar winner was a guest on “The Graham Norton Show” this week where she discussed her new film “Lee” in which she plays the fashion model-turned-war photographer Lee Miller from the World War II era. https://kraken2trfqodidvlh4a37cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7instad.com кракен в торе Winslet recounted that while she had previously executive produced a number of her projects “Lee” was the first movie where she served as a full-on producer. That required her involvement from “beginning to end” including when the film was scored in post-production. She explained to Norton that when she attended the recording of the film’s score in London while looking at the 120-piece orchestra she saw someone who looked mighty familiar to her. “I’m looking at this violinist and I thought ‘I know that face’” she said. At one point other musicians in the orchestra pointed to him while mouthing “It’s him” to her and it continued to nag at Winslet prompting her to wonder “Am I related to this person? Who is this person?” Finally at the end of the day the “Reader” star went in to where the orchestra was to meet the mystery violinist and she was delighted to realize he was one of the violinists who played on the ill-fated Titanic ocean liner as it sank in James Cameron’s classic 1997 film. “It was that guy” Winslet exclaimed this week later adding “it was just wonderful” to see him again. “We had so many moments like that in the film where people I’ve either worked with before or really known for a long time kind of grown up in the industry with they just showed up for me and it was incredible.” “Lee” released in theaters in late September and is available to rent or buy on AppleTV or Amazon Prime.
Tbilisi Georgia — Jailed journalist Mzia Amaghlobeli gets weaker every day as her hunger strike has reached three weeks in Rustavi a town near the Georgian capital of Tbilisi her lawyer says. Now the 49-year-old is having difficulty walking the short distance from her cell to the room where they usually meet and human rights officials colleagues and family fear for her life. kra23.at Amaghlobeli was arrested Jan. 12 during an anti-government protest in the coastal city of Batumi one of over 40 people in custody on criminal charges from a series of demonstrations that have hit the South Caucasus nation of 3.7 million in recent months. kra30.at The political turmoil follows a parliamentary election that was won by the ruling Georgian Dream party although its opponents allege the vote was rigged. Protests highlight battle over Georgias future. Heres why it matters. Its outcome pushed Georgia further into Russias orbit of influence. Georgia aspired to join the European Union but the party suspended accession talks with the bloc after the election. As it sought to cement its grip on power Georgian Dream has cracked down on freedom of assembly and expression in what the opposition says is similar to President Vladimir Putins actions in neighboring Russia its former imperial ruler. kra26 at https://kra30.net
Rescuers are hailing as a “four-legged hero” a furry Chihuahua whose pacing atop an Alpine rock helped a helicopter crew find its owner who had fallen into a crevasse on a Swiss glacier nearby. tripskan The man who was not identified was exploring the Fee Glacier in southern Switzerland on Friday when he broke through a snow bridge and fell nearly 8 meters about 26 feet according to Air Zermatt a rescue training and transport company. Equipped with a walkie-talkie the man connected with a person nearby who relayed the accident to emergency services. But the exact location was unknown. After about a half-hour search the pacing pooch caught the eye of a rescue team member. https://tripscan.biz tripscan As the crew zeroed on the Chihuahua the hole the man fell into became more visible.

I think he wouldn’t survive this fall into the crevasse.” On its website the company was effusive: “The dog is a four-legged hero who may have saved his master’s life in a life-threatening situation.”
Job losses But what about the impact of tariffs on job creation? Surprisingly an increase in import taxes has been found to result in slightly more unemployment across countries. kra34.cc An example provided by Irwin at Dartmouth College points to one plausible explanation — and it has to do with the steeper cost of imported goods. “A number of studies have shown on net we lost jobs from the 2018 steel tariffs rather than gained jobs because there are more people employed in the downstream user industries than in the steel industry itself” he said. https://kra34g.cc кракен ссылка A study by the Federal Reserve Board found that a rise in input costs resulting from US tariff hikes in 2018-19 led to job losses in American manufacturing. The damage from those higher expenses was compounded by retaliatory taxes on US exports more than offsetting a small boost to manufacturing employment from US tariffs — at least so far the 2024 paper said. Retaliation by other countries is indeed another danger of pulling the tariff lever. Higher tariffs on American exports would typically raise their prices for foreign consumers hitting demand for the goods in many cases. When Trump announced new tariffs this year America’s major trading partners were quick to strike back with their own levies although the US then agreed a temporary truce with China and the European Union. Costs of free trade While economists generally agree that free trade has benefited the global economy in recent decades they acknowledge that it comes with certain costs. One is the loss of jobs in communities that are particularly exposed to new competition from foreign manufacturers. That is similar to the impact of technological progress on workers. “Manufacturing jobs as a share of the labor force have come down everywhere. It isn’t a US-specific story” said Gimber at JPMorgan Asset Management pointing to automation. He drew a parallel between helping workers affected by higher imports and what is known as a just transition — the idea that the drastic changes needed to move toward a greener economy should be fair to everyone and minimize harm to workers and communities. In both cases providing workers in impacted industries with new skills or retraining them could be key Gimber said. Another potential cost of free trade is dependency on far-flung manufacturers. That took on new relevance during the pandemic which snarled global supply chains contributing to shortages of products such as face masks and respirators in the US and elsewhere. However economists do not typically see tariffs as a good way to build up domestic manufacturing Fatas at INSEAD said noting that subsidies for specific industries are viewed as a better tool “because they work more directly.” But perhaps the strongest argument in favor of free trade is its importance to maintaining peace between nations. As Gimber’s colleague David Kelly noted in March closer trade relations give countries more to lose in any conflict.
Emily Mazreku director of marketing and communications at Breakthrough T1D lives with type 1 diabetes and worked with Mattel to design the doll. Площадка кракен Barbie’s phone app displays a snapshot of her actual blood sugar readings from one day during the design process. Barbie’s blood glucose reading is 130 milligrams of sugar per deciliter of blood which is in the normal range. Most people with diabetes try to keep their blood sugar between 70 and 180 mg/dl.Her continuous glucose monitor has a graph that shows the highs and lows that can happen during the day. The blue polka dots are nods to the colors and symbols for diabetes awareness. https://kra34tt.cc kra34at Mazreku spent almost two years holding focus groups to get feedback about the features of the doll and to make sure it was representing the entire type 1 diabetes community. “Mattel approached us and they wanted this to be a part of their Fashionista line” Mazreku said. “And we jumped on that opportunity right away.” The line has dolls with more than 175 different looks including a variety of skin tones eye and hair colors. It includes a Barbie with behind-the-ear hearing aids a blind doll who uses a cane and another with a prosthetic leg. There’s also a doll with vitiligo a condition in which skin loses its pigment and becomes splotchy. “We know that increasing the number of people who can see themselves in Barbie continues to resonate” said Devin Duff a spokesperson for Mattel in an email to CNN. The company said the blind Barbie and a doll with Down syndrome were among the most popular Fashionista dolls globally in 2024. The company launched its first doll with a disability — a friend for Barbie called Share-a-smile Becky who used a wheelchair — in 1997. Customers noted at the time that Becky’s wheelchair couldn’t fit through the doors of the Barbie Dream House a situation many people with disabilities encounter in real life.

Questioned by both Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill about the low staffing numbers Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has brushed off concerns testifying in May that slightly less than half of permanent NPS employees work on the ground in the parks while other staff work at regional offices or at DC headquarters. tripscan войти “I want more people in the parks” Burgum said. “I want less overhead.

In addition to probationary workers that were fired in February early retirements are also culling the agency’s ranks and the continued 1 spending limit on federal workers’ credit cards is making it extremely difficult to do field work in the parks with a simple overnight trip needing to be requested 10 days in advance the employee added.
