Food Waste and Food Distribution refers to FareShare

On Tuesday a session took place in Parliament that is entitled Food Waste and Food Distribution and the person who opened this is Jo Gideon who is the Conservative MP for Stoke on Trent and she states “I beg to move, That this House has considered food waste and food distribution” and she then says “Let me begin by reflecting on our connection to food.” After several other people and many words…

Is there a bigger agenda to the farmers’ inheritance-tax ‘sick joke’?

BySally Beck

November 14, 2024

THE British farming community is planning a mass lobby of Parliament next week and will be joined by Jeremy Clarkson. Farmers say Labour has declared ‘war on the countryside’ and that the government has broken its promise by introducing a ‘crippling’ inheritance tax on family farms. Nicknamed the ‘suicide charter’ by the farming community, the policy has already resulted in one death, while elderly farmers wonder if they should kill themselves to save their family’s legacy. 

Clarkson, a fierce critic of Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s recent Budget and its inheritance tax changes, said farmers were ‘very angry and anxious’ about their future. He owns a 1,000-acre farm in the Cotswolds called Diddly Squat, which made just £144 profit in its first year. 

Our Parliamentary representatives are indifferent, as demonstrated last week by their response to the deputy leader of Reform UK, Richard Tice. He asked in the Commons: ‘Are the Minister, the Secretary of State and the Chancellor aware that so serious are the consequences of this policy that the heads of farming families in their 80s and 90s are seriously considering committing suicide before it comes into place?’

Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle prevented further debate on the subject, while Daniel Zeichner, Minister for Food Security and Rural Affairs, seemed to be lost for words. He said: ‘I find it hard to respond to a question like that.’

National Farmers Union (NFU) president Tom Bradshaw is livid and warned that Labour’s move would further fuel a mental-health crisis among farmers. Farming already has a high suicide rate with 36 per cent of farmers admitting they are depressed, while 47 per cent say they struggle with anxiety.

For years I have been surrounded by delicious food that isn part of my heritage and I come to realise that being Filipino is and will always be part of who I am, and the biggest misgiving I have is not knowing as much of it as I wish I do. I hate being the typical Filipino who can only cook mainstream dishes like adobo, tinola, sinigang, kare kare, etc. I wish I could have a deeper knowledge of native ingredients that are indigent to the land, the way Alex Atala does for Brazil.. It started when I was a kid. Moms new boyfriend moved in with us. Two weeks later he started beating me for any reason he could think of. It must be borne in mind that, like some others of the greatest poets, he was not a poet merely, but also a man of practical affairs, in the eyes of his associates first and mainly a courtier, diplomat, and government official. His wide experience of men and things is manifest in the life likeness and mature power of his poetry, and it accounts in part for the broad truth of all but his earliest work, which makes it essentially poetry not of an age but for all time. Something of conventional medievalism still clings to Chaucer in externals, as we shall see, but in alertness, independence of thought, and a certain directness of utterance, he speaks for universal humanity. I just got my own sweater like the one in your cart and some new nursing bras and it makes such a huge difference in my quality of life. It seems like such a silly thing, a sweater with special zippers for nursing, almost like a luxury item. That why it took me so long to get my own, but honestly a good few solid nursing tops/dresses made a huge difference to how I felt about myself.. Do I think we should take the circumstances into account? I am not sure. In Lauras and Gabriels case i would say no. There is a high change of you being problematic when you claim someone is racist, still were good friends with him and then your own racist and problematic tweets surface. 1 point submitted 1 day agoThis is almost exactly what I wanted from this drama.

Also known as glycerol, glycerin is a humectant that works similarly to hyaluronic acid, says Zeichner. Composed of fats and sugars, it's a sweet tasting lipid that's actually found in all fats, whether they are from animals or vegetables [Source: Paula's Choice].

BOBBY PRINZ

geboren 1980, in Baden nahe Zürich. Die Mutter stammt aus einer alten Badener Familie, der Vater war im oberen Management bei der ABB beschäftigt. Die beiden heirateten und kauften sich ein Haus am Sonnenhang über der Altstadt, hier wuchs Bobby auf.

Der lokale Fußballclub der kleinen Stadt, der FC Baden war Anfangs der 80er im Aufschwung und schaffte es  sogar kurz in die oberste Liga. Bobbys Vater trat in der Euphorie als Gönner des Klubs auf auf und es war folgerichtig, dass der Sohn mit den Junioren trainiert.

Bobby war schon als Kind sehr Bewegungs- und Spielfreudig, der Fußballklub wurde bald zum Zentrum seiner Kindheit, nicht so begeistert waren die Eltern als Bobby mit 16 das Gymnasium in Zürich für den Fußball in Baden aufgab, Kondition dafür, nebenher eine Lehre als technischer Zeichner bei der ABB.

Es war ein übertriebenes Opfer. 1999, mit 19 Jahren wurde Bobby zwar in die erste Mannschaft übernommen, aber faktisch bloß zum Training, er spielte kein einziges Spiel. Motiviert zu diesem Schritt hat ihn auch seine Freundschaft mit dem späteren Nationalspieler Daniel Gygax, ein Jahr jünger zwar, durchlief dieser mit Prinz die Jugend des FC Baden . Mit mehr Talent gesegnet wechselte Gygax aber schon 98 in die Nationalliga A zum FCZ.

Der damalige Trainer Urs Meier nahm den distinguiert-leutseligen Prinz gerne in die Mannschaft auf, neben dem eindeutigen Einsatz Prinzens auch für die Stimmung im Verein, weil er ein echter Badener war. 

Der FC Baden in den frühen Nullerjahren war Durchgangsstation für alle,Trainer, Spieler auf dem Sprung in eine höhere oder niedrigere Liga, wenig Konstanz, nur Prinz war immer da und für die meisten auch keine große Konkurrenz.

Prinz war bekannt für seine Kontakte in die Partyszene, sein ererbter Wohlstand führte nicht selten dazu, dass er Ganze Runden einlud oder auf Ausflüge mit teuren Autos mitnahm.

2006 stieg der FC Baden nach über zwanzig Jahren wieder in die Drittklassigkeit ab. Prinz mit 26 Jahren im besten Fußballalter kriegt jetzt eine Klasse tiefer auch richtig Spielzeit. Helfen tut es nicht viel, der Klub kann sich 2007 nur mit Not vom erneuten Abstieg in die 2. Liga retten.

Die Gehälter in der 1. Liga sind auch nicht die Besten, vor allem für Ergänzungsspieler. Ohne Gehaltsverzicht und Halbtagesjob, wäre für Prinz die Geschichte beim FC Baden zu Ende gewesen.

Dann kam für den FC Baden eine ungewöhnlich konstante Zeit. Ruhe sollte in den Klub einkehren, und so blieb der neue Trainer Mirko Pavlicevic ganze drei Jahre.

Nur, Pavlicevic war er nicht der größte Fan von Prinzens spielerischen Könnens. Ein altgedienter Spieler mit taktischem Verständnis zwar, aber Ungeschickt und schlaksig mit seinen über 2 Metern Körpergröße. Prinz war jetzt nur noch Einwechselspieler und Notnagel im Falle einer Verletzung eines wichtigeren Spielers.

An Prinzens 30. Geburtstag, nahm der Trainer ihn auch beiseite und legte ihm Nahe, sich einen richtigen Beruf zu suchen, in der Fußballerei komme für ihn nicht mehr viel.

Nvidia sẽ thiết kế siêu máy tính lớn nhất nước Anh sau thương vụ thâu tóm Arm trị giá 40 tỷ USD

Hãng sản xuất chip Mỹ Nvidia hôm qua vừa cam kết sẽ thiết kế một siêu máy tính trị giá 52 triệu USD tại Cambridge, Anh – nhiều tuần sau khi công bố kế hoạch mua lại công ty Arm của Anh với giá 40 tỷ USD.

Siêu máy tính này – chọn cái tên là “Cambridge-1” và dự kiến được dùng vào việc nghiên cứu trí tuệ nhân tạo thuộc lĩnh vực chăm sóc y tế – đã được đưa ra bởi nhà sáng lập kiêm tổng giám đốc Nvidia là Jensen Huang tại hội thảo GTC 2020 của doanh nghiệp.

“Giải quyết những th��ch thức khó khăn nhất của thế giới thuộc lĩnh vực chăm sóc y tế đòi hỏi phải có những nguồn tài nguyên điện toán cực kỳ mạnh mẽ để tận dụng được những khả năng của AI” – Huang nói. “Siêu máy tính Cambridge-1 sẽ giữ vai trò trung tâm quy tụ những cải tiến công nghệ của nước Anh, và thúc đẩy những nghiên cứu đột phá được thực hiện bởi các nhà nghiên cứu tại đây thuộc lĩnh vực chăm sóc y tế và chế tạo thuốc“.

Sẽ chính thức thành lập và đi vào hoạt động vào cuối năm 2020, siêu máy tính Cambridge-1 sẽ là cỗ máy mạnh thứ 29 thế giới và là chiếc máy tính mạnh nhất nước Anh – Nvidia khẳng định.

Các nhà nghiên cứu tại GSK, AstraZeneca, Guy’s và St Thomas’s NHS Foundation Trust, King’s College London và Oxford Nanopore sẽ có thể sử dụng siêu máy tính mới để tìm giải pháp xử lý những thách thức về y học, bao gồm những khó khăn nóng hổi liên quan virus corona.

“Nhiều nhà nghiên cứu khoa học cần đến những chiếc máy tính hiện đại bậc nhất, và chúng tôi sẽ thiết kế nên một cái như vậy” – Phó chủ tịch mảng chăm sóc y tế của Nvidia, Kimberly Powel, phát biểu, đồng thời cho thấy thêm rằng các nhà nghiên cứu khoa học sẽ có thể thực hiện “các nghiên cứu quy mô rộng” mà nếu không có siêu máy tính này, họ “sẽ không thể làm được“.

Ông Jensen Huang, nhà sáng lập kiêm tổng giám đốc Nvidia

Nvidia nói rằng Cambridge-1 sẽ có “hiệu năng AI” đạt mức 400 petaflops, và nó sẽ lọt vào trong TOP 3 siêu máy tính tiết kiệm điện năng nhất trên thế giới. Nếu bạn chưa biết thì petaflop là một đơn vị dùng để đo tốc độ xử lý của máy tính.

Matt Hancock, bộ trưởng y tế Anh, cho biết “đẩy nhanh nghiên cứu thuốc chưa một lần quan trọng như lúc này“, và số vốn liếng của Nvidia có thể “tạo nên một khác biệt thật sự“

“Siêu máy tính mới của Nvidia sẽ hỗ trợ các chuyên gia giỏi nhất của Anh nhằm thực hiện các nghiên cứu mà sau này sẽ cứu sống nhiều sinh mạng” – Hancock nói.

Siêu máy tính Cambridge-1, có thể được hoàn thiện trong một vài tuần nữa, sẽ hoạt động nhờ vào 80 hệ thống Nvidia liên kết với nhau.

Khi được hỏi liệu Nvidia có luôn ao ước kiếm được lợi nhuận từ Cambridge-1 hay không, thì Powell nói với kênh CNBC rằng Cambridge-1 “không phải là một nỗ lực thương mại hoá“.

AI có ưu việt như kỳ vọng?

Cho đến lúc này, AI vẫn chỉ đóng một vai trò tương đối nhỏ trong tiến trình đối phó với đại dịch. Dù đã đạt được một số thành công nhất định trong các lĩnh vực hạn chế, các công ty như DeepMind, OpenAI, Facebook AI Reserach, và Microsoft – tất cả đều phải sở hữu các siêu máy tính của riêng mình – vẫn tương đối im lặng trong bối cảnh virus corona lan truyền ra khắp thế giới.

“Đại dịch lần này cho thấy hầu hết những kỳ vọng về AI vớ vẩn ra làm sao” – Neil Lawrence, cựu giám đốc học máy tại Amazon Cambridge, phát biểu hồi tháng 4.

“Nó tuyệt đấy, và sẽ hữu dụng một ngày nào đó, nhưng trong đại dịch này, không hề ngạc nhiên khi chúng ta quay lại với những kỹ thuật thử và thí nghiệm truyền thống“.

Cambridge-1 không phải là siêu máy tính duy nhất Nvidia dự định thiết kế tại Cambridge.

Khi thương vụ thâu tóm Arm được đưa ra hôm 13/9, Huang nói rằng Nvidia sẽ thiết kế một siêu máy tính nền Arm mới tại một trung tâm nghiên cứu AI thậm chí là chưa đi vào xây dựng khắp thành phố.

Đại học Cambridge, Anh, nơi Nvidia dự định đặt siêu máy tính Cambridge-1

Giới học giả thuộc lĩnh vực công nghệ tại Cambridge tỏ ra nghi hoặc về cam kết của Nvidia đối với trung tâm này hồi tuần trước, khi mà Nvidia và đại học Cambridge dường như rất ít khi trao đổi với nhau về dự án này.

Powell nói rằng Cambridge-1 “hoàn toàn độc lập” với Arm: “Đây là nỗ lực của chính Nvidia nhằm thiết kế một siêu máy tính AI phục vụ việc nghiên cứu thuộc lĩnh vực chăm sóc y tế của người tiêu dùng“

Thương vụ thâu tóm Arm của Nvidia hiển nhiên rất đầy đủ những chỉ trích và vẫn có thể bị ngăn lại bởi cả chính phủ Anh lẫn Cơ quan Cạnh tranh và Thị trường (CMA) vốn đảm trách việc duy trì mức độ cạnh tranh trên thị trường Anh. Tuần trước, hai người đầu tư công nghệ nói với CNBC rằng họ nghĩ thương vụ sẽ bị ngăn cản bởi một ai đó.

Đảng Lao động đối lập của Anh từng tuyên bố thương vụ thâu tóm Arm không phục vụ lợi ích cộng đồng và chỉ trích Đảng Bảo thủ cầm quyền không bảo vệ được nhà tạo mẫu chip của Anh.

Hôm 21/9, nhà làm luật thuộc Đảng Lao động là Daniel Zeichner, thành viên nghị viện đại diện cho Cambridge, đã kêu gọi chính phủ phải nêu ra những điều kiện rõ ràng trong thương vụ thâu tóm Arm. Ông muốn có những đảm bảo về mặt pháp lý liên quan vấn đề việc làm, trụ sở tại Cambridge của Arm, và mô hình kinh doanh của hãng. Zeichner còn nói rằng điều quan trọng là phải bảo vệ được chủ quyền công nghệ của Anh.

Beziehungs-Weisen: Die Arolser Barock-Festspiele 2020

Flötet auf den Arolser Barock-Festspielen: Maurice Steger | (c) Jean-Baptiste Millot Mit einem Kaleidoskop barocker Komponistenfreundschaften, nahen und fernen Klangvorbildern und ganz persönlichen Verbindungen zwischen Interpreten wartet das Programm der kommenden 35. Arolser Barock-Festspiele am Himmelfahrtswochenende vom 20. bis 24. Mai 2020 auf. Das Programm stellten Bürgermeister Jürgen van der Horst, die künstlerische Leiterin Prof. Dorothee Oberlinger und Wilhelm Müller, Fachbereichsleiter Tourismus und Kultur in einem Pressegespräch am 9. Dezember vor. „Musik entsteht nicht im luftleeren Raum!“, so die künstlerische Leiterin Dorothee Oberlinger. „Komponisten erschufen ihre Musik nie aus dem Nichts oder einzig aus einer großen singulären Begabung – auch sie selbst waren beeinflusst von starken Vorbildern, Kollegen, Freunden oder von ihrer musikalischen Familie.“ Den vielen Facetten eben jener „Beziehungs-Weisen“ werden sich die Barock-Festspiele 2020 widmen. Das Programm präsentiert 2020 sieben vielfältige Festivalkonzerte, alle Termine der Arolser Barock-Festspiele gibt es hier! "Internationale Spitzenensembles"! Internationale Spitzenensembles sowie Solisten und Solistinnen machen in feinstem Originalklang in eigener künstlerischer Handschrift vielerlei Beziehungen sichtbar: Das Eröffnungskonzert wird vom spanischen Ensemble Accademia del Piacere und Flamencosängerin Rocío Márquez am 20. Mai mit einer aufregenden Arolser Premiere in der Fürstlichen Reitbahn gestaltet, die barocke Gambenmusik mit Flamenco vereint. Der Himmelfahrtstag bietet drei Konzerte: Den Auftakt macht dann die junge preisgekrönte Geigerin Alfia Bakieva, die ihr Konzert im Rauch-Museum dem schwedischen Komponisten Johan Helmich Roman und seinem italienischen Vorbild Arcangelo Corelli widmet. Zum ersten Mal sind zwei befreundete Ikonen der Alten-Musik-Szene, der Engländer Nigel North (Laute) und der Niederländer Han Tol (Flöte) in der Arolser Schlosskapelle zusammen zu erleben. Dirigent und Telemann-Preisträger Hermann Max gestaltet mit seinem „Kleinen Konzert“ mit Kantaten und Sinfonien der Blumenfreunde Händel und Telemann den festlichen Abschluss des Himmelfahrtstages in der Stadtkirche. Bach mal experimentell! Am Freitagnachmittag beleuchtet die junge Sopranistin Anna Herbst in der Helser Kirche (anlässlich des 1150-jährigen Jubiläums im Stadtteil Helsen) in ihrem Programm die frühbarocke Komponistin Barbara Strozzi und ihre Beziehungen zu Monteverdi und ihrem Vater und Librettisten Giulio Strozzi. Am Abend reflektiert der Starbratscher Nils Mönkemeyer mit dem Lautenisten Andreas Arend im Steinernen Saal des Residenzschlosses in einem experimentellen Programm über die Musik Johann Sebastian Bachs. Diese Diashow benötigt JavaScript. Im Abschlusskonzert am Samstag, 23. Mai stellt sich Dorothee Oberlinger persönlich mit ihren Flötenkollegen Maurice Steger und Michael Oman in ihrem gemeinsamen „Eurowinds-Projekt“ vor – ein echtes Exklusivprogramm, denn die Musiker stehen trotz ihrer engen Beziehung normalerweise nicht gemeinsam auf der Bühne. Die Arolser Barock-Festspiele sind längst als wichtige „Marke“ in der deutschen Festivallandschaft etabliert und sind Anziehungspunkt für ein treues überregionales Publikum. Sie finden seit 1986 in ununterbrochener Reihe statt. Seit 2009 werden die Festspiele von der Blockflötistin und vielfachen Preisträgerin Prof. Dorothee Oberlinger künstlerisch geleitet. Bläsercorps eröffnet Arolser Barock-Festspiele! Die Konzerte des musikalischen Hauptprogramms werden durch ein vielfältiges Rahmenprogramm mit Kabarett, Führungen und vielem mehr ergänzt. Traditionell spielt zur Eröffnung der Barock-Festspiele am Mittwoch, 20. Mai das Parforcehorn-Bläsercorps Vöhl/Edersee auf dem Hof des Residenzschlosses. Bereits am Vormittag findet ein Auftakt in der Christian-Rauch-Schule mit dem Format „Zweimal gehört“ statt. Der russische Cellist Davit Melkonyan wird in einem Schulkonzert ein Werk zweimal spielen und dazwischen Erhellendes zum Gespielten erzählen. Er wird auch um 18 Uhr beim Eröffnungsakt – diesmal in der Fürstlichen Reitbahn – als Solist mit dem Jugend-Sinfonieorchester der Christian-Rauch-Schule die Festspiele eröffnen. Den Konzertbeitrag wird er im Frühjahr 2020 mit dem Orchester in einem Workshop vorbereiten. Der Klassiker „Waldecker Spurensuche“ wird wieder unter der Leitung von Angelika Sarnowitsch, Schlossführerin im Residenzschloss Arolsen, stattfinden und beinhaltet in diesem Jahr auch ein abschließendes Konzert in der Helser Kirche. Bei der Nachtschwärmer-Veranstaltung präsentiert Frieda Braun ihr 9. Soloprogramm „Erst mal durchatmen“. Die beliebte Sauerländerin bringt frisch Erlebtes und frei Erfundenes auf die Bühne. Wie immer bilden der Dschungel menschlicher Gefühle und zwischenmenschlicher Beziehungen das wild wuchernde Terrain, auf dem ihre Geschichten ins Kraut schießen. Arolser Barock-Festspiele: Auch Bildhauerei und Zeichnungen! Am Freitag steht eine Führung mit Sandra Simshäuser im Christian Daniel Rauch-Museum durch die Ausstellung „Skulpturen der Goethezeit“ auf dem Programm; am Samstag und Sonntag werden Führungen mit Dr. Vera Leuschner durch die Ausstellung „Walter Sachs – Bildhauer und Zeichner“ angeboten. Am Samstagnachmittag spielt das Waldeckische Salonorchester Cappuccino im Garten des Welcome Hotels bei „Café und Musik“ auf. Die Stadtführungen von der Gilde 1719 und die Führungen durch die Bibliothek Brehm mit Kerstin Braun sowie durch die Fürstlich Waldecksche Hofbibliothek mit Prof. Dr. Jürgen Wolf und Susann Enß werden das Rahmenprogramm zusätzlich bereichern. Am Barocksonntag gestaltet Bezirkskantor Stefan Kammerer in der ev. Stadtkirche einen musikalischen Gottesdienst. Zusätzlich wird ab 11.00 Uhr in der Schloßstraße ein „Künstler Open-Air“ (Ausstellungen u.a. von Malerei, Fotokunst, Skulpturen, Schmuck-/Stoffdesign) veranstaltet und ab 13.00 Uhr der verkaufsoffene Sonntag der heimischen Geschäftsleute mit vielen Überraschungen in der Innenstadt. Eintrittskarten für die Barock-Festspiele sind im Touristik-Service Bad Arolsen, Große Allee 24, Tel. 0 56 91 / 801-233, sowie an allen ReserviX-Vorverkaufsstellen erhältlich.

Pharma industry body urges “ambition” in UK-EU trade talks

A pharma industry group has welcomed the UK’s priorities in trade talks due to start with the EU on Monday, but is tight-lipped about the government’s threat to walk away from the table in June if initial exchanges don’t go well.

The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) likes a number of elements in the new position document published this week, including mutual recognition of manufacturing standards, information sharing on safety data, and participation in the €100 billion Horizon Europe  science programme post-Brexit.

It also welcomed the commitment to high standards for intellectual property rights, mutual recognition of professional qualifications, and continued cooperation in areas like antimicrobial resistance and animal welfare standards.

The UK government has set out “a vision for a future relationship where both sides can work together in the interest of patient safety, public health, and the pursuit of scientific progress for UK and EU citizens,” according to ABPI chief executive Richard Torbett, who urged “ambition and pragmatism” as the talks get underway to achieve those goals.

The ABPI wouldn’t comment on the government’s position that it will not accept alignment with EU rules and would be prepared to walk away from free trade agreement talks within weeks if there isn’t a “broad outline” of a deal.

The UK would have to see “good progress” in the talks on areas like financial services and data – which it views as being relatively straightforward elements for negotiation – with the prospect of a deal being finalised by the deadline at the end of this year.

If it walks away, the UK will start down a path towards a no-deal Brexit – something industry almost universally wants to avoid – and the prospect of trading under World Trade Organization (WTO) rules that would include the imposition of tariffs on some goods.

The document reiterates the UK’s position that it would like to agree a Canada-style free-trade agreement, but notes that “if it is not possible to negotiate a satisfactory outcome, then the trading relationship with the EU will rest on the 2019 Withdrawal Agreement and will look similar to Australia’s.”

WTO rules do include a Pharmaceutical Tariff Elimination Agreement which aims to reduce duties to zero on certain pharmaceutical products, but this is out-of-date, according to the BioIndustry Association (BIA) trade group.

The agreement – which covers finished pharmaceutical products and specified active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) intermediaries – “needs a significant update to the specified list of APIs and intermediaries that qualify,” said the BIA earlier this month.

The organisation says it has been asking the UK government to discuss revisions to the agreement with WTO members for the last three years, without any action being taken, and if it isn’t updated “innovative pharmaceuticals products manufactured in the UK could be at risk of being subject to tariffs in the years ahead.”

Meanwhile, with an eye on the UK-EU trade talks as well as ongoing negotiations with other parts of the world, this week also saw the relaunch of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Life Sciences.

At its first meeting following the General Election, the APPG – chaired by Daniel Zeichner MP – considered how parliamentarians, government and industry can work together to ensure that patients and the economy continue to benefit from innovation in the UK life sciences sector.

17-31.8. Benjamin Solt & Daniel Zeltner: Work in Progress

In Zusammenarbeit bespielen Benjamin Solt und Daniel Zeltner den Tatort. Vor Ort entstehen Wandmalereien und Zeichnungen während 2 Wochen vom 17. bis zum 31.August, dem Kunsthoch Aktionstag. Dann wird die Arbeit niedergelegt und das entstandene Werk präsentiert.

Benjamin Solt arbeitet zwischen Zwei- und Dreidimensionalität. Seine Arbeiten reichen von Wand- und Raumgestaltungen bis hin zu Skulpturen und kleinformatigen Objekten. Sein Antrieb als Künstler, Farbgestalter und Maler liegt in der Notwendigkeit auf selbst gefertigte und gegebene Oberflächen, Strukturen und Räume zu reagieren.  

Daniel Zeltner, versteht sich als Zeichner und Maler. Die kreative und freie Ausübung in der Graffiti-Kunst begeistert ihn. Im Stil seiner heutigen Zeichnungen und Illustrationen lassen sich Spuren des amerikanischen Graffitis erkennen. In den Werken von Daniel Zeltner geht es um den Alltag in unserer Welt. Themen können von alltäglichen Dingen wie einer Kaffeekanne bis hin zur Liebe und Sexualität reichen. Seine Illustrationen und Arbeiten auf Leinwand sind farbenfroh und dynamisch, wirken teils kantig und fast etwas rau. Auf den zweiten Blick entpuppen sie sich jedoch stets als malerische, fröhliche und sensible Werke.

EXPLORE ERROR, Raffaele Franco und Tom Kuhn spielen am 31. August ab 17:00 Uhr ein Set von ca. 50 Minuten, das musikalisch auf die Ausstellungssituation eingeht.  

Raffaele hat sich von der Arbeitsweise vom Soziologen Richard Senett inspirieren lassen. In der Auseinandersetzung "Vorbereitung, Fehler erkunden, zur Form finden" wird ein Instrumentarium und Repertoire erarbeitet, das sich je nach Auftrittsort, Situation und Raum dynamisch verändern kann, aber laut Pirmin Bossart, nicht seinen Grundgeschmack verliert: „ein heisser Atem aus Elektro, Rock und experimentellen Klangträgern“.  

Öffnungszeiten:

So.18./ Do.22./ Fr. 23./ Fr. 30. von 13:00-18.00 Uhr

Sa. 31.8. KUNSTHOCH von 11:00-19:00 Uhr mit Konzert von EPLORE ERROR um 17:00 Uhr

Labour's Brexit civil war has turned into an insurgency

One of the reasons Labour performed strongly in the general election was the surge in support in Remain areas and among the young, so it's ironic that this has allowed Jeremy Corbyn to consolidate his control of the party and enforce hard Brexit. He flexed his newfound muscles last night by sacking three ministers who backed an amendment on staying in the single market. Shadow Brexit secretary Keir Starmer, who for many months was gradually retreating on his demands for single market membership, has now effectively accepted defeat and adopted the hard Brexit position of Jeremy Corbyn. This seems all but inevitable really. Even during the election campaign it was almost impossible to figure out if he still believed in trying to remain a member. By the time Corbyn secured his surprisingly strong result, the game was up. Last week, dozens of Labour MPs, MEPs and peers launched a group opposing hard Brexit outside the single market and the customs union. Starmer was apparently livid. He responded by accusing them of disloyalty against the leadership and lacking ambition. He demanded they cease and desist from all such initiatives. Outside of this moment of anger, the former lawyer is said to be almost entirely technocratic in his approach, constantly trying to think of ways of replicating the single market outside of it, for instance by creating British bodies to guarantee equivalence with European standards. This, by the way, would be profoundy emasculating and pointless, forcing the UK to abide by laws that it has absolutely no say in formulating. If EEA membership is democracy by fax, this would be democracy by baton. But more importantly, it suggests Starmer's fine legal mind has now been put to work entirely in the service of Corbyn's hard Brexit position. There is no tug-of-war on the Labour frontbench over Brexit anymore. Now Corbyn is moving to enforce total control of the party. In February, 52 Labour MPs voted against triggering Article 50. There was some question about what would happen to them. Corbyn held a meeting with chief whip Nick Brown to figure out what to do. In the end, he merely sanctioned them, sending out a warning about their future conduct, rather than sacking them.

It was not what he did yesterday.

Labour MP Chuka Umunna put forward an amendment calling for single market membership. Corbyn responded by putting forward an alternative amendment which tried to buy off potential rebels by promising a "jobs first" Brexit that will deliver the "exact same benefits" as single market membership. It is illiterate nonsense. The single market and customs union effectively enmesh the standards and systems of their members so that they become, for trading purposes, the same country. There is no free trade deal on earth which comes anywhere close to matching it. And even if there was, Europe has already made clear any deal outside the single market must be worse than one within it - or what's the point of being a member in the first place? The jobs-first priority is welcome, but because no 'exact same benefits' solution is possible, it is inevitable that there will be very considerable job losses from a hard Brexit, particularly in manufacturing and agriculture - exactly the working class sectors Labour is supposedly meant to represent. We should also expect severe losses in financial services, IT and communications, and transport. Forty-nine Labour MPs refused to be fooled by Corbyn's child daycare amendment and instead backed the single market one, including four frontbenchers: Andy Slaughter, Ruth Cadbury, Catherine West and Daniel Zeichner. This time there was zero tolerance. Newly emboldened from the election result, Corbyn sacked the first three, while Zeichner - knowing what was coming - resigned.

It is frustrating to see principled politicians of their calibre go. Andy Slaughter, in particular, has been valiantly defending migrant rights for his entire career, through constituency case work, parliamentary rearguard actions and protests. He was shadow justice minister when Chris Grayling was justice secretary and day after day he challenged the appalling reactionary dimwittedness of the government. He is the type of progressive politician any socialist leader should be proud to have on their team. Corbyn has sacked him so he can support the right of the Conservative party on hard Brexit.

This vote likely marks the end of the pre-election stage of the Brexit debate, where opposition rested largely on internal challenges within the parties. The game now being played is about cross-party parliamentary support. Yesterday's Umunna amendment was, more than anything, about putting down a flag showing cross-party alliances were possible. The 49 Labour MPs were joined by 34 SNP MPs, 12 Lib Dems, four Plaid MPs, one Green and one independent. There was no Tory support, despite there being sympathy in the parliamentary party for this proposition, because it's a Queen's Speech amendment. Once a vote cannot be interpreted as a blockage to the Tory ability to form a government, criticial MPs are likely to be more amenable to opposing hard Brexit. Those Labour frontbenchers who were sacked paid the price, but they showed Tory MPs that a cross-party alliance exists against hard Brexit, waiting for them to join. There is a great irony to this parliament. Just over a year ago, the Brexit referendum returned a Leave vote after a campaign based on the notion of parliamentary sovereignty. Then Theresa May tried to use Brexit to expand her executive power only to see it blow up in her face and return a hung parliament. And now parliament really is sovereign, in the way that counts: every MP has just become hugely important. The razor tight victories we're already seeing, even at Queen's Speech stage, show just how crucial every vote will be That means Brexit rebels in every party have a crucial role when Brexit legislation hits the Commons after the summer. It is no longer about them taking on their own leadership. It is about the centre of the Labour and Conservative party taking on both their leaderships, who are at this stage basically following the same policy. What was before a series of simultaneous internal party civil wars is now a parliamentary insurgency.

There is a majority in parliament for single market and customs union membership. The extent to which the insurgency succeeds depends on whether MPs from different parties can work together to secure it.
