![]() Still, the biomass industry continues to grow, supported by subsidies especially from the UK as well as the EU, which declared biomass a carbon-neutral energy source in 2009 and is relying on it to help the bloc replace fossil fuel energy and meet climate goals.Īt least 22 plants in the south-east are now exporting pellets to Europe, according to the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC). Hamlet, David’s neighborhood, has a poverty rate of nearly 29%, significantly above the state poverty rate of 13.6%. The plants are 50% more likely to be located in counties where at least 25% of the population is Black and other people of color and where poverty levels are above the state median, according to an analysis by the environmental non-profit Dogwood Alliance. Over the last decade a wave of biomass plants have opened their doors or ramped up production across the US south, where they have access to the region’s vast hardwood and other wetland forests, many of which are on unprotected private lands.Ĭampaigners say there is an environmental justice aspect to the industry, too. ![]() “During these decades, warming increases and permafrost and glaciers continue to melt, among other permanent forms of climate damage,” said Tim Searchinger, a senior energy and environment research scholar at Princeton. This CO 2 is theoretically reabsorbed by new trees, but some scientists suggest relying on biomass could actually end up increasing emissions just at the time when the world needs to sharply reduce emissions and reach goals of becoming net zero by 2050. It can take as much as a century for trees to grow enough to offset the carbon released.īurning wood for energy is also inefficient – biomass has been found to release more carbon dioxide per unit of energy than coal or gas, according to a 2018 study and an open letter to the EU signed by nearly 800 scientists. Yet there remain serious doubts among many scientists about its carbon-neutral credentials, especially when wood pellets are made by cutting down whole trees, rather than using waste wood products. The plant, owned by Maryland-headquartered Enviva, the world’s largest biomass producer, is one of four the company operates in North Carolina, turning trees into wood pellets, most of which are exported to the UK, Europe and Japan to burn for energy.īiomass has been promoted as a carbon-neutral energy source by industry, some countries and lawmakers on the basis that the emissions released by burning wood can be offset by the carbon dioxide taken up by trees grown to replace those burned. Debra David lives near an Enviva wood pellet plant in Hamlet, North Carolina.

![]() While every frame of Ruben Impens’ slick and ultra-saturated cinematography leaves an impression, the chiaroscuro wide shot of a freshly showered Rousselle walking naked towards the eager car and dripping a wet trail of water onto the floor of the garage feels like the kind of movie image that might outlive us all. She prefers the company of a very special vehicle - one that calls to her from the darkness with its high beams. When one of those horny male fans refuses to take “no” for an answer in the parking lot after an event, Alexia does not take kindly to his actions. She wears her shaggy blonde hair so that the scar from her implant is still extremely visible on the side of her head, as if she wants the world to know about the metal inside her.Īlexia writhes around on muscle cars while horny male fans line up for selfies, but the pleasure seems to be all hers. Anyone who’s seen “Raw” will be cackling already.Ĭut to: The present, when Alexia is a terse and severe thirtysomething car model embodied by newcomer Agathe Rousselle (in an unforgettable performance that often evokes a gender-fluid take on the murderous vulnerability Scarlett Johansson brought to “Under the Skin”). “Watch out for any neurological signs,” the doctor warns her parents. He gets annoyed, takes his eyes off the road, and the next thing you know Alexia is at a hospital having a titanium plate surgically implanted into her skull. The first time we meet her she’s a pre-teen girl sitting in the backseat of her dad’s sedan and loudly revving her body like she’s a Ferrari. ‘The First Slam Dunk’ Review: Takehiko Inoue’s Anime Smash Is One of the Most Thrilling and Unusual Basketball Movies Ever MadeĪlexia’s parents never really fulfilled either end of that bargain - least of all her sleazy father, played by “Nocturama” director Bertrand Bonello (who serves up enough withering face to see all sorts of intimate sins behind his blank expression). Whatever you’re willing to take from it, there’s no denying that “Titane” is the work of a demented visionary in full command of her wild mind a shimmering aria of fire and metal that introduces itself as the psychopathic lovechild of David Cronenberg’s “Crash” and Shinya Tsukamoto’s “Tetsuo: The Iron Man” before shapeshifting into a modern fable about how badly people just need someone to take care of them and vice-versa. During the second half, it becomes obvious that it’s both - that somehow it couldn’t be one without the other.įollowing the cannibalistic “ Raw” with another ravenous film that pushes her fascination with the hunger and malleability of human flesh to even further extremes, Ducournau has made good on the promise of her debut and then some. Neon releases the film in theaters on Friday, October 1.ĭuring the first half of Julia Ducournau’s “ Titane,” it’s hard to tell if you’re watching the most fucked up movie ever made about the idea of found family, or the sweetest movie ever made about a serial killer who has sex with a car, poses as the adult version of a local boy who went missing a decade earlier, and then promptly moves in with the kid’s still-grieving father. Despite telling an oddball tale of a serial killer with a sexual attraction to cars, many praised the film’s incisive take on maternity, chosen family, and gender fluidity.Editor’s note: This review was originally published at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival. The movie caused something of a stir when it premiered on Tuesday, being described by the BBC as “the most shocking film of 2021” for its shocking depictions of sex, violence, and Cronenbergian body horror. Awarding the top prize, the Palme d’Or, to the French filmmaker Julia Ducournau for the psychosexual noir thriller Titane, it served as the final award announced in a delightfully chaotic closing ceremony that saw Lee accidentally announce the winner early. Tonight, this year’s jury, led by Spike Lee, made an equally historic decision to cap off a bumper year. ![]() Yes, there have been plenty of showstopping red carpet moments to write home about-from Bella Hadid’s Schiaparelli golden lungs, to Isabelle Huppert’s razor-sharp Balenciaga gown, to Timothée Chalamet and Tilda Swinton’s budding friendship and complementary tailoring-but equally exciting has been the selection of films premiering, with many critics agreeing it was the festival’s most impressive (and most lurid) showing in years. Over the past 11 days, the world’s attention has been firmly fixed on this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

An employee who can concentrate on their work and works from home is in a different position than a contagiously ill employee who works in a busy office. It may depend on the type or severity of the illness.Īlso, we must consider the work setting. ![]() Some people don’t mind working while sick, but it is a personal judgment call. Further, if dragging themselves out of bed to go to work would worsen their illness, calling in sick is the better option. Whenever an employee doesn’t feel well enough to do their job effectively, they should ideally call in sick. The boss expects their employees at work, so communication must be clear when that cannot happen. Either way, knowing how to remain professional when calling in or emailing for a sick day is essential. Maybe you’re feeling ill today and want to call in sick, or you’re just curious about the best process to use in the future. Almost 8 million workers in the U.S. missed a day of work in January 2022 alone because of illness. ![]() People call in sick all the time because, unfortunately, we can’t control when sickness takes over. You realize there is no way you can make it to work. Suddenly, it feels like a truck has hit you, and you can barely bring yourself out of bed. First, there is a slight sniffle, then a scratch in your throat. Be specific about the reason for the absence, a potential return date and who will cover the workload in the message. To do this, they should use their employer's preferred communication method before their shift starts to communicate their absence. Employees call in sick by phone, email or text when they are too unwell to report to work. * Player have shortcode for post/page i.e. * Works in IE, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, mobile devices including Android/iOS You don’t need to supply id and xml together □ Just above the closing body tag, insert a script block.

Harth and Houraney alleged that Trump started making passes at her almost immediately. After years of attending beauty pageants-Trump seems to have always enjoyed the company of beautiful, scantily clad women-he decided he wanted to get in on the business himself, meeting with George Houraney and Jill Harth, a couple that ran the American Dream pageant. The dirt: The Boston Globe’s Matt Viser reports on the mess of the American Dream pageant in 1992. Steve Marcus / Reuters The Beauty Pageant Scandals Read more: The New York Times, People, BuzzFeed, me ![]() A woman who brought a rape case against Trump (twice) withdrew her suit in November, but in January, Summer Zervos sued Trump for defamation, after he labeled her claims of sexual assault false. Trump has demanded a retraction from the Times, and has threatened to sue several outlets. In the sexual-assault cases, Trump faces the difficulty that he in some cases bragged openly about just the behavior of which he has been accused-whether grabbing or forcibly kissing. The upshot: Trump denies all of the allegations. A former People reporter recounted an alleged assault at his Mar-a-Lago debate, and says he told her, “You know we’re going to have an affair, don’t you?” Several former teen pageant contestants said Trump walked in on them while they were naked or partially dressed. Two told The New York Timesthat Trump had assaulted them, one saying he tried to put his hand up her skirt on a flight in the 1970s and another saying he forcibly kissed her. But since the release, more women have come forward. Former Miss Utah Temple Taggart said he kissed her on the lips inappropriately. Trump’s ex-wife Ivana Trump once suggested he had raped her, though she has since recanted her story. Jill Harth says Trump assaulted her in the 1990s. You can do anything”-there’s a long line of allegations against Trump. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything,” he said, as well as “I just start kissing them. The dirt: Even before the release of a 2005 video in which he boasted about sexually assaulting women-“Grab them by the pussy. Mike Segar / Reuters Sexual-Assault Allegations This is a snapshot of some of the most interesting and largest of those scandals. Including business deals that have simply failed, without any hint of impropriety, would require thousands more. To catalog the full sweep of allegations would require thousands of words and lump together the trivial with the truly scandalous. They stretch over more than four decades, from the mid-1970s to the present day. The breadth of Trump’s controversies is truly yuge, ranging from allegations of mafia ties to unscrupulous business dealings, and from racial discrimination to alleged marital rape. While they did not derail his presidential hopes, many of them remain live issues as Trump begins his transition to the White House. The 2016 presidential campaign saw a long string of stories showing scandals involving Trump, both large and small-from questionable business dealings to allegations of sexual assault. Zervos’s suit serves to underscore an even more unusual fact, though, which is that Trump won election despite a raft of allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct lodged by women in multiple places, from different eras. Bill Clinton settled a suit for sexual harassment filed by Paula Jones. ![]() It’s unusual for a president to be in such a legal situation-though not entirely unprecedented. That seems unlikely, because a spokeswoman dismissed the suit immediately. She added that she would withdraw the suit if Trump said she had been truthful. Trump the opportunity to retract his false statements about me and the other women who came forward,” she said, as my colleague Nora Kelly reported. Trump denied those claims, saying all of the women who had accused him had made their stories up. She claims that he kissed her and pressed his genitals against her nonconsensually. Zervos, who’s represented by the famous lawyer Gloria Allred, was one of the several women who accused Trump of sexual assault or misconduct prior to the election. Last week, a few days before Trump’s inauguration, the former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos sued him in New York State, accusing the president of defamation. Donald Trump is now president and not just a private citizen, but that doesn’t mean he’s free of the controversies that dogged him in his former life. ![]() Thanks to all our hard-working maintainers, contributors, sponsors and supporters for getting us this far.
