UNESCO: Friend or Foe?
Earlier this week, two articles on Domus engaged each other in a debate over the affect of UNESCO World Heritage status on the cities they supposedly protect. Is UNESCO turning the world's cities into museums and hindering their future cultural development? Or could it be a positive force for protecting architecture and culture? Read on after the break to learn more about these clashing opinions.
Design Revealed for Norway's New National Arts Museum
The planning phase for the new National Arts Museum in Norway is coming to a close and the images of the winning design by architects Kleihues + Schuwerk Gesellschaft von Architekten have been released. With its modernization and expansion, the museum aims to enhance the fields of art and design in Norway and serve as a cultural hub for locals and tourists alike.

BIG Designs Rejected Again for Kimball Art Center
After producing major revisions on a previously rejected design, BIG have had their second design rejected for the Kimball Art Center in Park City, Utah. City Hall rejected the design on the basis of appearance, arguing that it did not relate to the historic city centre "aesthetically, visually or historically." The second design by BIG marked a complete departure from the original that was selected as the winner of an architectural contest hosted by the Kimball Art Center.
Is Bigger Better? HOK's Acquisition of 360 Architecture and How Mergers Have Changed the Business of Design
International design, architecture, engineering and planning firm HOK has recently announced its plan to acquire 360 Architecture, a firm specializing in sports facility design. With HOK's global influence and 360 Architecture's expertise, the acquisition could bring about significant advances in sports facility design and expand the market reach for each firm. When it comes to the business of architecture, acquisitions such as this often enable large corporate firms to take on a wider variety of projects, giving them a competitive edge against famous designer names in the industry. But what else can we learn from the growth of the world's largest firms?
Why is it So Expensive to Build in London?
London is the world's most expensive city to build in, but the reasons may surprise you. The city is well known for its high cost of living despite being far less crowded than cities such as Tokyo and New York. In fact, commercial real estate in London's West End costs nearly twice as much as similarly sized spaces on New York's Madison Avenue.
This video from the Economist reveals how these high costs arise thanks to the city's historic infrastructure. Vast networks of underground tunnels, unexploded World War II bombs, ancient Roman ruins, and narrow medieval roads all make construction in the city a highly specialized endeavor. These difficulties, combined with strict historical preservation regulations drive up costs even more. However, architects and developers are not deterred, and are willing to pay high prices for the privilege of building in London.
McDowell + Benedetti's Footbridge and Rail Station Underway in Terni
London based firm McDowell+Benedetti has recently announced that their design for a new 180 metre footbridge and improved rail station in Terni, Italy, has begun work on the site. A future landmark for the town, the £3.5 million (€4.4 million) project promises to provide an expanded commuter hub for the area with connections to fast trains to Rome. Learn more about this project after the break.
BuildAChange Aims to Tackle Sanitation with Zero Project
Although the practice of architecture has historically done little to address the basic needs of those in the developing world, in recent years architects have gradually extended their reach into the realm of humanitarian work, as most notably exemplified by Pritzker Prize winner Shigeru Ban. Despite these advances, one third of the world's population does not have access to adequate sanitation. This is astounding given the amount of resources and technology we have available to us in the 21st century, and it is a problem that architects have the opportunity to solve; some architects, including Julia King, have already begun to take on this challenge. It is also the focus of "Zero Project," the first initiative of non-profit organization BuildAChange. Read about their proposal after the break.
Does Australia Need More Design Competitions?
Architecture competitions offer an opportunity for architects to launch their careers, and in some cases generate unexpected designs in the process. Many iconic works of architecture, including the famous Sydney Opera House, were the result of open design competitions – but do architecture competitions today maintain the influence they might have had in the past? While critics in the United States have recently argued that it could be time to quit competitions, Donald Bates argues that Australians should be organizing more. In his article on The Conversation, Bates discusses the state of design competitions in Australia, and why we should take another look. Read the full article here.
Spotlight: Peter Eisenman
Renowned architect, theorist and educator Peter Eisenman turns 82 today. Eisenman initially rose to fame in the late '60s, as part of the New York Five, a group that shared an interest in the purity of architectural form. Eisenman's work, whether built, written or drawn, is characterized by Deconstructivism, with an interest in signs, symbols and the processes of meaning-making always at the foreground. As such, Eisenman has at times been a controversial figure in the architectural world, professing a disinterest in environmental sustainability.
Can Buildings Make Us Healthier?
Since we spend most of our waking hours in buildings, shouldn't they be designed to encourage a healthy lifestyle? It turns out there are many ways in which architects can design spaces that encourage us to exercise as part of our daily routine. Likewise there are many design features that often dissuade people from physical activity. For example, while a dark or secluded staircase may be off-putting, centrally located and open staircases tend to be used even more than elevators. Find out how buildings can serve as our personal trainers in this article from Fast Co. Design, "How To Keep Our Buildings From Making Us Fat."
New Images Released of Krumbach, Austria's Famous Bus Stops
What happens when seven internationally acclaimed architects are invited to design sculptural bus stops for a tiny Austrian village of 1000 inhabitants? Collaborating with local architects and utilizing local materials to design the pavilions, Alexander Brodsky, Rintala Eggertsson, Ensamble Studio, Architecten de Vylder Vinck Taillieu, Smiljan Radic, Sou Fujimoto, and Wang Shu's Amateur Architecture Studio worked with Austria's Verein Kultur Krumbach to carry out the BUS:STOP project and usher in a unique new facet of culture to Krumbach. We brought you images of the design proposals earlier, and now we have photos of the incredible results: Hufton + Crow has just released a stunning new set of images showcasing the completed bus stops.
Hufton + Crow's brilliant photography captures the inimitable originality and sensational quality of the uniquely crafted pavilions embedded within the Austrian landscape. Immerse yourself in Krumbach and check out the latest images after the break.
AD Interviews: Keith Griffiths, Chairman of Aedas, on Appoaching Densification in London
Following the recent announcement of Aedas' demerger into two separate companies - one retaining the Aedas name and the other now known as AHR - we spoke to Keith Griffiths, Chairman of Aedas' global board and a practicing architect for close to three decades. The company, which was recently ranked by the Architects' Journal as the 5th largest and most influential practice in the world, have now moved their head office to London's Chandos Place and are championing a new approach to urban regeneration in the UK's capital. Alongside discussing how an international practice of Aedas' scale successfully operates, Griffiths offered his insight into how the future looks for European cities based on a tried and tested Asian model of densification.
To find out how Aedas approach sustainability in flourishing Asian markets, as well as the significance of the 'urban hub' typology for London's metropolitan future, read the interview in full after the break.

Although the majority of those featured here are designed solely for the iOS platform, every time we collate lists such as these it's clear that more and more high quality apps for the Android and Windows platforms are being developed. From condensed versions of large scale software packages that architects and designers use every day, to blank canvases to scratch ideas down onto, you might just find an app that could improve the way you work.
Video: Charles Jencks on the 2014 Venice Biennale
In this extended interview by the Architectural Review, Charles Jencks provides an in-depth description of the 2014 Venice Biennale and critiques his former student Rem Koolhaas' overall curation and theme: Fundamentals.
Arguing that the previous thirteen Biennales have, "more or less, tried to predict what is going to happen over the next five years," "Rem Koolhaas has changed the paradigm:" Rem's Biennale is about "the past of the present". Jencks, who describes Koolhaas as "the Corbusier of our time", suggests that his Biennale is about analysis rather than total synthesis. He has, however, "shown that research can be creative."
Project Meganom To Remodel Moscow's Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts
Russian practice Project Meganom have won a competition to redesign the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. Their winning entry seeks to transform the museum complex into a hive of cultural activity, preserving the institution's world class art collection whilst "actively engaging with the surrounding territory as a potential space for exhibition, dialogue, and communication." The project focuses less on the provision of new areas but rather provides a single unified platform for a series of discordant parts, tying together all the elements of the environment into one cohesive design – "from buildings and monuments to benches and navigation."
RIBA Future Trends Survey Demonstrates Continued Stability
The results of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Future Trends Survey for May show that the Workload Index among UK practices was slightly down in comparison to April (from +35 to +33) with the recovery in confidence levels remaining consistently "very strong" across the country. Although last month's survey showed London as the region with the brightest outlook, confidence levels reported by architects in Wales and the West topped the index with a balance figure of +49. Workload forecasts in the private sector, public sector and community sector have all significantly increased.
Heatherwick Studio To Build "Learning Hub" in Singapore
London based Heatherwick Studio have won a competition to design a Learning Hub at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. The construction of the Hub, part of a £360 million scheme, will be the first redevelopment of its campus in twenty years. Having already won the BCA Green Mark Platinum Award for Sustainability from the Singaporean Government, the design seeks to redefine the aspiration of a university building. Within this new context the purpose of the university is to "foster togetherness and sociability" so that students can meet and learn in a space that encourages collaboration.
Swedish Team Win Urban Design Competition in Trenčín
Swedish based Mandaworks + Hosper Sweden have recently won an international competition to find the "best comprehensive urbanistic proposals for connecting the city centre of Trenčín with both waterfronts of the River Váh." The winning scheme – Tracing Trenčín – "is not a proposal which is noticeably stunning" but is, according to Thomas Matta, deputy chair of the jury, "considerate to the existing structure of the historic core of the city."

Travis Rowley: Religion First
Saturday, January 26, 2013
That's right. For the distinct privilege of setting up shop in the worst business climate in the country (a condition caused by government), Rhode Island business owners are forced to pay the state government $500 a year – whether they turn a profit or not. Similar to "tolls" and "fees" – often justified by liberals by pointing out the cost of bridges and bureaucracy – that are tacked on to an already-bloated tax structure, the minimum corporate tax is one of those government bills that makes productive citizens wonder what their other taxes pay for, if not basic government services.
Following a long line of members of the tax-and-spend party who have also turned to conservative measures, McLaughlin and Walaska are "sponsoring a bill that would reduce the state's minimum corporate tax from $500 to $250."
"If this legislation is passed, it will give Rhode Island a strong competitive advantage over Massachusetts and other states…Our smaller businesses are getting slammed with this $500 minimum and it's placing a barrier in front of potential start-ups," McLaughlin remarked. Walaska states, "Many of my constituents think the $500 minimum corporation tax is unfair, especially while the state is still in economic recovery … Looking at the big picture, it's also just another area in which Rhode Island is at a disadvantage compared to our neighboring states. We keep hearing that we're not business friendly. It's time we take more measures to rectify that."
One might wonder what ever caused Democrats to impose this tax in the first place.
True Leadership
But at least the imposition of a tax on business owners is consistent with liberal philosophy. After all, "you didn't build that." It's actually more confusing whenever Democrats fight to reverse their own policies.
We've seen these flashes of fiscal conservatism before. In 2005 the Democratic General Assembly voted to cut the highest state income tax rate in half (incrementally, and with the removal of certain deductions, of course). Last year on Channel 12 Newsmakers House Speaker Gordon Fox actually rejected the concept of "stimulus" and an "artificial economy," arguing, "Basically, I think government has to do its role of creating those conditions where businesses can thrive." And last week we saw Rhode Island's progressive governor call for a reduction of the state corporate tax, from nine percent to seven percent.
These are the very expressions of capitalism that Republicans are traditionally demeaned as "greedy" and "selfish" for recommending. Republicans are "only for the rich," according to Democrats, as they mock their conservative rivals for believing in "trickle-down economics."
While we often witness these virtual admissions of the superiority of Republican arguments, we never see Democrats embrace the ideology that spawns them. This is the true pity. Because, ultimately, this is what Rhode Island needs – a declaration of belief.
True leadership commands a clear exhibition of values. And Rhode Island needs someone to step forward, commit to a faith in limited government and individual freedom, and then set policies that reflect the new religion.
Set the core ideology in place. The policies will follow.
Rhode Islanders should prefer this type of leadership over those who speak of "fair shares" and "everyone being in this together," only to sporadically decide to enact policies more consistent with individualism.
The Middle Way
In a state controlled by Democrats, we cannot even hope for ideological or moral clarity. With their party steered by a political base of unionists and progressive activists, we instead get corner-nibbling reforms that offer credence to conservative policies – but never go far enough, and only surface when communities come nose-to-nose with economic reality.
Exhibit One: Cutting the minimum corporate tax in half. If the purpose is to alleviate the pressure on Ocean State business owners, why not eliminate the tax entirely?
It's because Democrats are not guided by religion or principles, but political expediency. While Democrats are caught in the middle of a tug-of-war between their radical base and fiscal sanity, State House Republicans are calling for the total elimination of the state sales tax.
Is this the action of dangerous right-wing ideologues? Or is this the principled stance of those who see the pointlessness of the Democrats' middle way?
In addition to reductions in tax rates that merely make us more competitive with "our neighboring states," even Treasurer Gina Raimondo's "hybrid" pension reform that relies on a rate of return of 7.5 percent – while considered "landmark" – qualifies as a Democratic half-measure (the state pension fund "earned just 1.4 percent in fiscal 2012").
While it's true that some elected Democrats are of the progressive variety, many are mere hacks of political power, flying by the seat of their political pants – defying gay marriage for years, only to approve it once left-wing activists had managed to conquer public sympathy. The Left never stops marching. And the Democratic Party is always there to reward their efforts.
An Ethical Divide
It is a simple matter of observation: To a much higher degree than Democrats, Republicans – with conservatism as their core – exercise their religion, their ideology, and their principles. Democrats are much more guided by political considerations – "forgo[ing] the cheap satisfaction of the radical pose for the deep satisfaction of radical ends."'
The modern Democratic Party now lives out the radical instruction. As one member of the SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) once said: "The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution." Inspired by the likes of Nietzsche, Machiavelli, and Alinsky – and having mastered the politics of crisis – modern leftists have learned to politicize everything, right down to mass shootings, hot weather, and hurricanes. As Obama confidante Rahm Emanuel now puts it: "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste."
Republicans – still dominated by a base of Christian conservatives accused of taking their religion way too seriously – have this pesky commandment from God that instructs them not to lie, and a Savior who challenges them to seek and revere the truth. Ultimately, yes, this is why conservatives find it so difficult to take the advice of political consultants who tell them to abandon the "social issues." Forsaking the 2nd Amendment, the rule of law on the border, the value of life, and a belief in traditional marriage is not an option for people who value the truth over political victory, or even the survival of their country.
Yes, Republicans are religious – in the best possible sense of the word.
What do Democrats believe in?
Power. Power above all things. Once one understands the leftist ethic, Democratic behavior comes into focus.

With further tax and regulation reductions we could start to lure smart people down from the Boston area.
I think that there are Democrats in the GA who would support this if they were not cowed by the union bosses and the very visible progressive activists. People with common sense need to speak up.

Obamacare is a recent glaring example of the federal government enacting a law that mandates compliance and imposes punishment for non-compliance with provisions that constitute an infringement of some organizations and people's religious beliefs and practices.
Please help me out. Give an example of any religion or religious group imposing its will, beliefs or practices on any state or federal government.
Comment #18 by peter hewett on 2013 01 28
With regard to marriage equality - the issue in question is not a religious one. Nobody goes to church to get a marriage license - everyone goes to the government, the same government that issues drivers licenses, businesses licenses, etc etc. Our government issues licenses for adult entertainment establishments, even though patronizing those types of establishments are against the religious views of many. Our government issues licenses and approvals for drug companies to manufacture and sell birth control/contraception, even though use of that type of medication goes against some people's religious beliefs. The important lesson - religion can enact rules on it's members, but because we have freedom of religion, we have the ability not to be governed by the beliefs of churches.
The same goes with marriage. We go to the government to get marriage licenses. It's a government-issued license, and the religious blessing and ceremony is up to the church, that that's it. Period. In the end, it's still a government-issued license that comes with many privileges.
Because of the fact that it is a government-issued license/privilege, we can not allow the government to discriminate against 2 consenting adults because somebody or some religion doesn't believe in it - the same way people of Orthodox Jewish churches can't block a restaurant license from being issued because the license holder intends to serve non-kosher food, nor can a Muslim group push for a law demanding all women wear head scarves to cover their faces. We are a country of religious freedom 100% of the time without having to be actually governed by the rules of a specific religion(see the "establishment clause" in the 1st Amendment), not just when it's convenient for one religion to want to force their views and beliefs on others.

Differential access to healthy foods has been hypothesized to contribute to health disparities, but evidence from low and middle-income countries is still scarce. This study examines whether the access of healthy foods varies across store types and neighborhoods of different socioeconomic statuses (SES) in a large Brazilian city. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2010-2011 across 52 census tracts. Healthy food access was measured by a comprehensive in-store data collection, summarized into two indexes developed for retail food stores (HFSI) and restaurants (HMRI). Descriptive analyses and multilevel models were used to examine associations of store type and neighborhood SES with healthy food access. Fast food restaurants were more likely to be located in low SES neighborhoods whereas supermarkets and full service restaurants were more likely to be found in higher SES neighborhoods. Multilevel analyses showed that both store type and neighborhood SES were independently associated with in-store food measures. We found differences in the availability of healthy food stores and restaurants in Sao Paulo city favoring middle and high SES neighborhoods.

Jacques Cartier Dining Room Review
A pianist or harpist adds to the romantic tone of this elegant restaurant where you have views of Boldt Castle and the St. Lawrence River through floor-to-ceiling windows. The kitchen turns out fine American and French fare, all presented with flair. Broiled sea bass, New York–cut prime rib, and veal and lobster dishes are worth trying, as are the flaming desserts. The wine list is long, varied, and features several choices from New York State.

Unless Mr. Strand is trying to tell us that he wants to see buildings more than he wants to see improvements, I would think that the law of "your rights end where they begin to impinge on mine" would apply.
If Mr. Strand indeed wants to see more brick walls between the Merrimack River and the downtown, he will have his wish fulfilled, at no cost to the taxpayer, when the many parcels of privately held waterfront land bookending the small NRA-held parcel are developed by their private owners. As a pro-NRA real estate professional commented to me recently as we discussed the issue while standing in the footprint of an NRA-proposed building next to the boardwalk, "Newburyport is hot!"
As for the question: "How are you going to pay for that?"
It is the responsibility of the five appointed members of the NRA to first arrive at a vision for the improvement to the NRA lots that reflects "the highest public good." Once that is done, we can figure out how to pay for it.
Strand's: Sell to a private developer willing to take on a $20 million project.
Mine: Find grants and use parking fees to fund an initial $2 million expense and support ongoing maintenance.
I believe that the (lower-cost, lower-impact) most conservative approach would be the most responsible.

Not every aspect which could be named association promotion is actually CRM, although it overlaps quite with the thought of partnership promoting and advertising. Site visitor marriage marketing and advertising is even bigger, for the reason that it offers a one-to-model romance of clients and retailer. As a legitimate a good-to-one particular internet marketer, an online business is required to be equipped and willing to enhance its behaviour when it comes to a specialized costumer, in accordance with precisely what it is aware of that customer. So, CRM is actually a fairly simple concept: Take care of diverse potential customers diversely. It draws on the possibility that no two customers are exactly the same.
Because of this, CRM involves great not just revenues and traffic generation, since a organization ought to have the capability to transformation how its products configured or its service is mailed, dependant upon the wants of specific users.

Terminate Shola Ameobi's Contract!
This is a petition from the fans of Newcastle United to call on the Newcastle United board to terminate the contract of Shola Ameobi immediately. We're fed up of seeing this clown play for our club and it makes us sick that he has been rewarded with a new 3 year contract. We don't want him to play for our Newcastle United again.

The post Offshore Wind Services Names New Damen Supplier Vessel appeared first on Breakbulk.]]>
The FCS 2008 is the second vessel the Dutch company, a specialist in the provision of crew transfer vessels to the offshore wind industry, has ordered this year. In January, OWS became the first company to order the next generation Damen Twin Axe Fast Crew Supplier 2610. This vessel is being built in Singapore for delivery later this year.
The Offshore Waddenzee, which was christened by Ellen Cornelise Nieuwenhuis, the wife of Pieter Tavenier, ENECO Managing Director Wind, will be working alongside two other OWS vessels on the construction phase of the Luchterduinen Offshore Wind Farm for Van Oord.
"The FCS 2008 is a very capable vessel for working on an offshore wind construction project close to shore like Luchterduinen," Philip Woodcock, operations director at OWS, said. "Damen's off-the-shelf approach ensures a rapid turnaround time."
Damen Shipyard Den Helder tailored the new vessel to meet the specific requirements of OWS, which included outfitting the vessel with a second generator set and offshore crane.
The order is notable for the speed with which it was handled: the vessel was ordered in June and she was delivered in August.
The order was signed after successful sea trials that took place in the Dutch North Sea at the Princess Amalia Offshore Wind Farm.
Damen Shipyards Group
Damen Shipyards Group operates 40 ship- and repair yards, employing 8,000 people worldwide. Damen has delivered more than 5,000 vessels in more than 100 countries and delivers about 180 vessels annually to customers worldwide. Based on its unique, standardized ship-design concept Damen is able to guarantee consistent quality.
Damen's focus on standardization, modular construction and keeping vessels in stock leads to short delivery times, low total cost of ownership, high resale value and reliable performance. Damen offers a wide range of products, including: tugs, workboats, naval and patrol vessels, high speed craft, cargo vessels, dredgers, vessels for the offshore industry, ferries, pontoons and super yachts.

The post Alabama State Port Authority Acquires Property appeared first on Breakbulk.]]>
The purchase includes a 35.28-acre tract fronting the seaport's 45-foot draft channel and a 63-acre industrial tract within one-half mile of the harbor. Both properties are adjacent to the port authority's Choctaw Point Complex at the Port of Mobile.
In addition, the Alabama State Port Authority and Walter Energy agreed to amended terms in its coal handling agreement pursuant to which the port authority currently handles the company's coal exports through the McDuffie Coal Terminal. The port authority extended the existing coal handling agreement and agreed to certain improvements at its coal facility to accommodate future export coal production at Walter Energy's Alabama mines.
James K. Lyons, chief executive officer of the Alabama State Port Authority, said the land purchases are essential to the authority's intermodal investment strategies geared toward expanding its container business. The riverfront tract would support much needed expansion land for its rapidly growing container terminal, while the industrial tract provides additional acreage to support warehousing, distribution and light manufacturing applications.
The Alabama State Port Authority owns and operates the State of Alabama's public, deep-water port facilities at the Port of Mobile handling over 25 million tons of cargo annually. The authority's container, general cargo and bulk facilities have immediate access to two interstate systems, five Class 1 railroads, and nearly 15,000 miles of inland waterway connections.

The post US ExIm Bank Funds Siemens Nacelles appeared first on Breakbulk.]]>
Siemens Energy has secured nearly US$65 million in financing from the U.S. Export-Import Bank to manufacture wind turbine nacelles and blades for a project in Peru.
The wind turbines will be installed at the Marcona wind farm and the Tres Hermanas wind project in southern Peru for a combined generating capacity of 129 megawatts. The nacelles will be made at Siemens' plant in Hutchinson, Kan., while the blades will be manufactured in Fort Madison, Iowa.
The financing represents Ex-Im Bank's first renewable-energy transactions in Peru, the bank said in a statement.
"These transactions reflect our continued commitment to increasing U.S. renewable energy exports while supporting good-paying jobs here at home," said Ex-Im Bank chairman and president Fred P. Hochberg.
In fiscal year 2013, Ex-Im Bank authorized US$257 million to support renewable energy exports, primarily to Central and Latin America. The news comes at a time when the future of the ExIm Bank is uncertain. Legislators will vote on its reauthorization at the end of September.

The post US Steel Imports from Russia, South Korea Peak appeared first on Breakbulk.]]>
Steel imports into the U.S. continued to grow in July, increasing by more than 56 percent from a year earlier. July imports totaled 3.8 million net tons — 221,000 net tons more than in June, the American Institute for International Steel said in a statement.
South Korea and Russian steel to the U.S. showed big surges in volume. In year-to-year results, Korea's exports to the U.S. grew by 144 percent to 584,000 net tons, while Russia's exports rose 322 percent to reach 363,000 net tons.
In other markets, steel volumes dropped. EU steel fell by 1.3 percent to 634,000 net tons, Canada 2.6 percent to 527,000 net tons, Brazil 5.4 percent to 440,000 net tons and Mexico 27.7 percent to 294,000 net tons, AIIS said.
During the first seven months of the year, U.S. steel imports increased 36.6 percent over the same period in 2013 to total 24.9 million net tons.
"Imported steel serves a critical role in the U.S. economy, satisfying demand at lower prices than are available domestically, and promoting growth," AIIS said. "As a result, the move toward increased imports is likely to continue, though the country-of-origin trends that we have seen in 2014 may change as a result of certain political and legal decisions."
For instance, Russia may find its exports to the U.S. decline as tougher economic sanctions are imposed over its conflict with Ukraine. South Korea may also face falling exports. On Aug. 22, U.S. International Trade Commission voted to impose anti-dumping duties on South Korea for its sale of oil country tubular goods.
"This ruling may cause shifts in OCTG sourcing, and it will almost certainly increase the cost of doing business for energy companies, which could, in turn, drive up energy prices for consumers." AIIS said.

The post World Logistics Consulting Handles Transformer Transport appeared first on Breakbulk.]]>
World Logistics Consulting transported a transformer from the Port of Houston in Texas to a First Energy Substation in Niles, Ohio.
The 196-ton cargo was unloaded from the Rickmers Singapore onto a rail car earlier this month. The transformer measured about 37 feet long, 12 feet wide and 14.5 feet high, GPLN said in a statement on behalf of its Chicago-based member.
World Logistics Consulting supervised the direct discharge of the transformer at the port and handled the rail transportation from Houston. Upon arrival in Ohio, the company coordinated the transloading, short distance haul, offloading and setting of the transformer onto its pad.
In the meantime, World Logistics Consulting is working on another railcar movement. A total of 15,000 cubic meters of steel structures manufactured in South Korea will arrive in Canada and be transported to Edmonton, Alberta, for the Walterdale Bridge Replacement Project.

Undersea Surveillance:
Navy Continues to Build Ships Designed for Soviet Threat
NSIAD-93-53: Published: Dec 3, 1992. Publicly Released: Dec 3, 1992.
(202) 512-4841
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO reviewed: (1) how the threat of enemy submarines changed after the collapse of the Soviet Union; and (2) what changes the Navy proposed regarding its Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System (SURTASS) program.
GAO found that: (1) the Soviet global submarine threat has declined dramatically and is no longer the primary threat to the United States; (2) the focus has shifted to the evolving threat of regional conflict in shallow water; (3) the Navy has not yet developed performance requirements for an undersea surveillance system to counter the shallow water threat; (4) the Navy built SURTASS to counter the Soviet submarine threat in deep water, but it planned to use SURTASS against the shallow water submarine threat; and (5) preliminary test results showed that SURTASS had potential for shallow water submarine detections, but the Navy has not demonstrated SURTASS shallow water capability through developmental and operational tests.
Status Legend:
- Review Pending
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Recommendations for Executive Action
Recommendation: The Secretary of the Navy should postpone the Navy's decision on whether to build Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull (SWATH) ship T-AGOS-24 until the test results of low frequency active operational performance and SWATH operational design are fully evaluated.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense: Department of the Navy
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Congress transferred funds for the T-AGOS-24 ship to other Navy shipbuilding programs.
Recommendation: The Secretary of the Navy should reevaluate plans to buy T-AGOS-25 through -27 SWATH ships--an estimated $525 million to construct--until the submarine threat is better defined, the system requirements to counter the threat are documented and approved, and the contribution of alternative submarine detection systems under development is analyzed.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense: Department of the Navy
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Navy shipbuilding plans show T-AGOS-24 and T-AGOS-25 to be built in future years. Since the end of the Cold War the Navy has redefined its mission and decided not to build the ships in question.

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 725 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by rstuv mixed opinion This hotel is in an excellent location, The lobby was large and comfortable. Although our room was clean, the lobby and elevators seemed to always have trash on the floors- and employees would walk by as if they didn't notice. The employees were polite and seemed to be helpful if asked. But no bellman offered service- we handled our own bags both checking in and checking out. Whenever we used the service of the concierge there was a line with only one employee at the desk (and they had to answer phone as well.) The room- We did have a beautiful view. I have never seen such old and dated furnishings in a room. There were two pieces that were totally useless. They took up space but had no storage capability in them. The only drawers were in a piece of furniture that was a desk. And the room was so small, only one bedside table would fit. The person who was on the other side of the bed did not even have enough space for a path to get out of bed. He had to crawl out of the foot of the bed. The bed, pillows and bed linens were the best thing about the whole stay. The bath- Shower water pressure was totally unacceptable. The commode had a flush lever that was institutional. I wasn't sure whether to use my hand or foot. The bathroom itself was tiny. The bath linens were thin and scratchy. Now for the coup- The fourth night (out of five) the smoke alarm went off during the night- not once, not twice, but three times. The front desk manager did rebate the room charge for that day but we really would have rather paid and slept. November 7, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lauris This hotel is well located I have some observations that could improve security as well as the service. There is no security to stop intruders from walking from the mall into the elevator. I suggest setting up smart keys for the guests staying on the higher floors, i.e, 26 thru 29 so to avoid unauthorized individuals to wonder around those floors. We had to re program our room card-key four times during our stay, eventhough, we kept it away from credit cards and other sensitive electronics that could have affected the band. We had room 2902 and the A/C sounds like a '29 TFord. May 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by makingithappen Good Business Hotel Stayed for the 3rd time at this property and was pleased once again. The SPG upgrade was a nice touch and I had a great room to work in etc. The business center and very conveniently located FedEx Office is a bonus and helped me prepare for a meeting last minute.

Rated 4 out of 5 by ABL2013 Overall great, luggage storage employees need improvement My husband and I attended a conference at the Hynes center and stayed at the Sheraton. It was my second visit to the Sheraton. Overall, features of this hotel are great and most of the employees are a pleasure to interact with. However, our last visit was less enjoyable. On Monday Dec. 2, after we checked out, we were told we could store our luggage with the luggage porters. We did so, and we were told we could return at any time. We returned before dinner to access a change of clothes after the conference. One of the porters, Antonio, was extremely rude to both my husband and I. Instead of accessing our luggage for us, as is standard in most hotels, he brought us to the back storage room. He rushed us along and warned us that we were were being video recorded and he asked us to "smile for the camera" which was downright creepy. When we returned to return the clothing items we had changed out of, he appeared visibly agitated that we had returned and very rudely spoke about us to another employee, complaining that this was our second visit. He once again brought us to the back room instead of retrieving our luggage for us. Antonio repeatedly told us that he was very busy and we would have to hurry, although on multiple occasions I observed him casually chatting with other employees about non work-related items. After, he warned us that this would be the last time we could access our luggage before we left. We have never been treated so poorly by a hotel employee, and we were absolutely appalled by his brash and rude behavior. Quite frankly, Antonio should not function in a role that involves direct interactions with guests. Despite this experience, our stay was pleasant overall. Our room was clean, the fitness center was great, and the proximity to our conference at the Hynes center was extremely convenient. The rest of the employees were a pleasure to interact with and very friendly. December 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lovedit Very Pleased! My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay at the Sheraton! We absolutely loved the location and the view of Boston from our room. There was a military discount which was also very nice. The only hiccup we ran into during our stay was that the vouchers we received for denying cleaning service did not apply to alcohol. Also, a quick heads up, there are no refrigerators in the rooms (at least not in ours) so just keep that in mind when you're eating at all the delicious restaurants surrounding this perfectly located hotel! I would absolutely recommend this hotel and plan to stay again in the future! April 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carbo Great hotel for meetings & Conferences With the exception of rather high prices for everyrhing (eg:valet parking is $46/day) this is an excellent hotel.The staff provided sterling service and the facilities met the needs of the convention I attended. My suite, which was used for business meetings and entertainment of customers and vendor-partners, was on the small side and my attached bedroom could only be entered thru the suite itself as there was no seperate entrance from the hallway. Also, only one bathroom for both my sleeping area and the "meeting room". In spite of these shortcomings I'd reccomend this place for meetings and as a place to stay in downtown Boston.

Rated 4 out of 5 by LOUZIS61 WONDERFUL HOTEL AT A GREAT LOCATION HAD A LOVELY FIVE NIGHTS STAY AT THE BOSTON SHERATON. WHILE BEING A 4 STAR HOTEL,IT HAD THE FACILITIES AND AMENITIES OF A 5 STAR HOTEL. STAFF VERY POLITE,FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. THE CLUB ROOMS ARE GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY. EVERYTHING IN WORKING ORDER SO MY STAY WAS HASSLE-FREE. ALL THE SIGHTS WERE EITHER WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OR EASILY ACCESSIBLE. BEING CONNECTED TO THE PRUDENTIAL CENTER,ALSO AN EXTRA PLUS. WOULD RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL HIGHLY AND WOULD DEFINITELY STAY HERE AGAIN. June 5, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Fearless People are Great My experience over all was good your employees made it good! ;-) What i did not enjoy is that house keeping didn't pick up the pizza boxes left on the floor of the room, they hung up dirty towels on the back of the bathroom door that were left on the bed vs. replacing them with clean towels. They did not change the sheet after a nose bleed and they did not vacuum the room. They picked up items like a water bottle cap to a full open bottle of water and left the water, why not put the cap back on the water or take the cap and water and disregard it to take one and not the other is ridiculous. room was small heat wouldn't shut off and the blinds didn't work.

Rated 2 out of 5 by MattNYCTraveler Old Hotel, Great location & Ample Space Overall A mediocre hotel with a lot of space and convenience. Lacking any type of luxury or special touches. Generic but reliable, convenient and big. Room The room I had was in the South tower. I knew it was going to be old when I saw the carpet that looked like Disney World. The room is very large with great views. Not sure why I was placed on the 9th floor but that's besides the point. The leather chair was ripping and definitely needs to be replaced. The phones were far too old, very antiquated. The valet/housekeeping button needs to be updated. I'm not sure if maybe the South tower rooms haven't been updated - maybe it was just my room? Bathroom The bathroom was tiny and awkward. The counter space was great. Products mediocre but fine. Ample towels. The toilet was so commercial and lacked any sense of "home." The shower tiles were old and antiquated. The shower curtain could barely cover the tub and water went everywhere, even into the hallway getting on the rug. Seems like a water damage issue. Room Service Attendant was not very knowledgeable of the menu. She seemed very confused when I asked for changes/substitutions. It all worked out fine in the end, but it was a very long awkward phonecall. The omelet was poorly seasoned. Fruit and toast were fine. Tea was good, but waiter did not offer to start the tea pot. When I was leaving a tip, she was rushing me and mentioned I didn't need to do the math and it would be automatic. I was trying to leave additional tip! Valet Valet service was pretty good. A little awkward with my luggage and didn't offer any directions but adequate. Checkin Reception staff was nice, courteous, efficient and helpful. Starbucks The Starbucks immediately in the hotel was extremely convenient. However, the food selection was poor and the signage was completely wrong. They kept apologizing when I asked for certain items. Overall, I loved the convenience. Gym/Pool The gym is good. The aerobics room was ridiculously hot. There was condensation dripping down the walls. The floor was slippery, it was so wet. There were ample amounts of towels and the water was great. Would be nice to have an infused option, but that may be too luxury focused. The weight room is hidden and it's awkward to walk through the pool to get to the other section. There should be better signage. May 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ASCP1984 Great Location, Great View Stayed at the Sheraton for 5 nights and enjoyed my time. My room on the 27th floor faced the Charles River and it was a beautiful view with boats on the water and Fenway Park. The express elevator was very handy and the breakfast provided each day was very good. Loved having Starbucks in the lobby and the attached mall for shopping and food options. I wish there was a refrigerator in the room; you may be able to request (for a fee) to have one. The bathroom was really really really small. It did not make sense to have this large suite with foyer, living room and bedroom that were spacious and such a tiny bathroom. But the room was quiet and well appointed. November 8, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by 12121212121 A dearth of smiles The staff were efficient and did their jobs well. I love the program that allows you to skip housekeeping services in exchange for a $5 coupon to the restaurants since I was there only a couple of nights. While I would return to this hotel it would be nice to see more smiling staff members. I only had one unpleasant experience in the Starbuck's on Saturday morning (4/26/14). The 2 staff members there had really sour demeanors and were rude especially to a French family. I was surprised since I have never experienced that before and I visit Starbuck's stores all over the country. Sad. May 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Willy44 Great hotel, convenient location Wonderful experience. Great room, friendly staff convenient to Prudential Center and "T". June 17, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by ronaldb50 Poor value, staff did not fix problem Was there for 5 nights. Room was not comfortable for such a long stay. The bed was a double bed, pushed up against one wall of the room. The room was so small, it fit the bed, it had a desk, a desk chair, a TV on a small credenza and a night table. That it. No normal chair to sit on. The bed because it was pushed up against the wall was slept on by me and others before me on one side. The bed mattress was so worn from all of us sleeping in the one spot,( so that we could get out of bed easily ) that it is swayed like a hammock. This gave me a bad back having to sleep in one area of the bed each night for 5 nights. The AC in that room, works, but each time it shuts off, there is a large bang. I put up with this for 5 nights. When I complained, the front desk said that they would move me.I did not want to re-locate to another small room. Why didn't they say, let me check into this and see if I can fix it? When I checked out, they did not even ask me how my stay was. So the AC banging is still there for the next unfortunate sole. June 13, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by gemini6ice Some functionality problems -Trying to connect to wifi was problematic. When I finally managed to connect, I discovered it was not complimentary as expected, but an additional charge. I had little confidence in its quality at this point, so I did not agree to pay for it. -Waiting for an elevator was madness. There are stairs, but access is restricted on floors 2 and 3. Please allow guests access to take the stairs up to their rooms. -There was mold (or mold stains) in the caulking in the shower. Is this inevitable with caulking? Can this not be prevented with regular cleaning? -I need a final invoice for my stay still. I expected one to be slipped under the door, but one was not. Where can I obtain this? - March 24, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by VAEventPlanner Location amazing, Club level a must, doors thin I stayed here for one night and loved the location--right near the trains, shops and restaurants, Fenway, sights, just everything! It was rainy when I was in Boston this time, so I was very glad the hotel had indoor access to the Prudential shops and Copley mall--both are stellar. I also really enjoyed having access to the Club and would recommend this to everyone--the breakfast is wonderful, and the woman who staffs it (a perky Croatian woman) is simply fabulous--what a breath of fresh air in the morning! I will tell you that the Club gets crowded on the weekends for breakfast, so maybe get there either really early or later in the morning. The workout facility is great--very much like a gym atmosphere, except for one huge thing: you have to walk through the pool area, and onto the slippery pool deck, to access the cardio room! Really weird layout, and the rooms was a bit on the warm, humid side because of its proximity to the pool. And another less-than-desirable thing...although the room was really great (I don't mind small rooms when I stay in a big city) but the doors to the hallway and the connector doors are PAPER THIN. I could hear everything, and I mean everything, that went on in the hallway and in the adjoining room. I'd invest in heavier and more dense doors, Sheraton. It would really make the guests' experience much more enjoyable. Even my earplugs weren't enough. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel, but just make sure you bring your high-quality earplugs ;) June 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by bruijnesteijn Nice hotel good location Good rooms and facilities near Moscow center and shoppping facilities on Market Street, nearby Union Square and China Town in easy walking distance June 11, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Unsatisfied Worst hotel customer service!! The front desk accidentally canceled my reservation and could not get it back because the hotel was oversold. I had a reservation for Monday – Friday and I asked if it was possible if I could stay at a different hotel Tuesday night for a work conference out of the city. She said yes and changed my M-F reservation to a Monday reservation. She then tried to book the Wednesday/'Thursday night reservation but said the hotel was oversold and there was nothing she could do. I asked if I could just keep my original reservation and she said it was gone. This is not my first poor customer experience with SPG properties. February 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cz24 Excellent stay I had an excellent, but short stay at the Boston Sheraton. After staying in several European hotels very recently, I noted in particular how comfortable the bed was, and I slept very well. The in-room coffee is a welcome essential for jet-lagged travelers. My only concern is that I would encourage the management to consider gratis internet access for any SPG member, regardless of stay history. May 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CliffyCliffman Great stay We were in town for one night and the experience was excellent. Staff was attentive and the facility was in very good condition. Room was clean and non musty. The only items that I can think of to critique was our room was close to elevators so we could here them running up and down and the valet parking was $49. Overall a great stay. June 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sharon957 FANTASTIC STAY We have just spent the last week staying at the Sheraton Boston hotel and cannot praise the hotel or its staff high enough. The rooms (we are a family with three children) were fantastic, spotlessly clean and spacious. The staff whether in the reception area, restaurant or housekeeping were always ready to help and nothing was too much trouble, particularly Michael on the main reception desk who was fantastic. The hotel is in easy waking distance of most attractions and if not the underground is very close and very easy to use. I would recommend this hotel for any family wishing to visit and explore Boston. August 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MaddyKitty Returning guest I have stayed at this hotel a few times due to its great location. There are many pros and a few cons. I am a SPG member so I often ask if a upgrade is available. I have always had to pay extra for my upgrade. My most recent trip upgrade was disappointing because after paying an extra $40 /night for a upgrade to a club floor the room was smaller than my booked room but I was led to believe it would be larger. The only benefit was the use of club lounge that I found disappointing and to busy to get in and sit. Parking for hotel is $47 / night. Very pricey ! April 21, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Sleepstarved Loud & Unresponsive Loud banging doors all night. Walls so thin, too many private noises clearly audible. We requested a room change but they never called us back to let us know one way or other. We were stuck in that room for all 5 nights of our stay. Unresponsive concierge and guest services. When asked for a cork screw for our wine, they never brought it after requesting one three times. Then they said someone had to be in the room to receive it after we told them two different times we would not be in our room. The bathroom is so small, the door barely misses the front of the toilet...and we were in the handicapped room! Fortunately, we are not handicapped but don't know how that bathroom passes a handicap code. Very poor service for $250/night. April 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bev3067 Wish I could give 4 and a half Great hotel. We stayed on club level which was a fantastic view of Boston both in the club room and in our room. Breakfast was great with oatmeal, toast, fruits, muffins, danish. During the day you can get soda, water, fruit and granola bars. At night there are 2 hot samplings (the chicken was great) cheese, bread, crackers etc. You can buy alcohol if you want. I realized only on the last day that we never received our bath robes in our room---when you are paying top dollar you expect not even to have to ask. Also, all of our neighbors got the USA today paper but we never did. Not huge we got one at the club room---again when you are paying top dollar you expect that kind of service. Great hotel though. February 23, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by SPGPilot Thin Walls Marred my Visit During my stay I had three sets of multiple guests who stayed in the room next to mine. One of them had a dog who moaned and scratched on the door every time they left the room. I could hear every word they spoke, and one of the guests was presumably a performer who exercised her voice "la la la la la la la, fa fa fa fa fa fa fa.." you get the idea. I thought it might have only been my room, but speaking to other guests in the hotel they stated the same. Thin walls. Otherwise a delightful stay in a very nice hotel. April 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by redsox2012 Love the location My husband and I love staying here when we are in town for a Red Sox game. It is really easy to walk to and from on the day of the game. We are able to stay until late afternoon the next day as well to enjoy the sites in Boston. Most of the time we have room service for breakfast. We have decided not to do that anymore. The cost is totally outrageous and the quality was not very good. And the sugar packets in the container that came with our breakfast had old coffee spilled all in it. I was not happy with that. The little things that make this Sheraton special are starting to be overlooked. May 8, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by LRGK Very Pleased It has been a while since we stayed at the Sheraton. I am very pleased that we went back. The young lady at the front desk was eager to assist us. While her name tag indicated she was in training, you certainly would not have known this. Kudos to the staff that trained her. In terms of the room, it was ready prior to check in which we appreciated. The bed was comfortable and the shower had plenty of hot water, two features that can often make or break our stay. The location while not where we usually stay was a good choice. The Top of the Hub with its spectacular view and reasonably priced wine and appetizers was a big hit.. If you are staying at the Sheraton I would recommned it as a must see. September 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by JennyS1384 The staff was wonderful The staff helped answer so many questions and create the best experience possible. They were very polite and willing to help! June 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MontanaZach Exceptional Service We were traveling to Maine for a wedding last week and were rerouted through Boston, not arriving at the Sheraton until after 2am after an exhausting and stressful travel day. From the start there was nothing but kind, compassionate, and hard-working people to help us. It turned out to be a stressful situation involving a number of complexities with the airline, but the hotel and Sheraton staff helped us through and alleviated almost all stress related to the airline debacle. A very special thanks to Concierge Amy Martelly who was able to help us, to access management, to give directions to us, all the while helping other customers as well. She always had a smile on her face, was caring, and had a great balance of professional wit. Thank you Amy. The hard work, professionalism, and caring gestures made by the Manager, Brenda Fitzgerald also went above and beyond anything expected. Brenda spent a lot of her morning helping us sort through the mire that was our travel situation, and personally calling our airline. All the staff deserve complements and credit for their generosity, professional conduct, and great inter-personal communication skills. The room, physical plant, and coffee shops were all well organized, clean, attractive, and comfortable. I will be staying again next trip through June 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stephenzi Wonderful stay Due to Hurricane Sandy, we headed out of NJ the night after it hit, as we knew it would not be fun to be there for a while, and we headed to Boston and made a reservation at the Sheraton Boston. I know that we left a disaster behind, but once we arrived, we felt like we were in paradise. I just cannot say enough about how nice the room was and howeach and every staff member treated us. We stayed for two nights, and then decided to stay one more night at the sister property, the Copley. We spent our evenings dining out at restaurants in town, so we did not really get to eat anything at either place, but we will definitely be back for more mini vacations, even if no hurricane blows us out of town:) March 4, 2013

Yes, Prime Minister
Richmond Theatre
Until Sat May 18 2013
Time Out says
Posted: Tue Apr 30 2013
Touring version of Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn's knockabout farce about a hapless prime minster and his machiavellian advisors, adapted from their hit 1980s TV comedy. The production's enjoyed three West End seasons and been widely acclaimed, but given the clunky script (with crowbarred in 'Coalition' references) and eyebrow-raisingly anachronistic characters (now played by Michael Fenton Stevens – PM Jim Hacker – and Crispin Redman – Sir Humphrey) it's difficult to see why.
