Frank Stella, who died on Saturday at age 87, once joked that he harbored only one regret. Stella, it can safely be said, was not a fashion plate. To the end of his life, he had the aura of a nervous whiz kid with oversize glasses and frizzy hair. Despite their portentous titles (“Die Fahne hoch!” for instance, or “The Marriage of Reason and Squalor II”), the paintings reference nothing outside themselves. “What you see is what you see,” Stella declared, providing the Minimalist movement with a pithy and enduring slogan.

So began the harrowing minutes aboard Alaska Airlines Flight 1282, when a door-sized section near the rear of the plane blew off 10 minutes after it took off from Portland, Ore., on Friday night, leaving some passengers initially confused, and others utterly terrified. “The first thing I thought was, ‘I’m going to die,’” said Vi Nguyen, 22, a passenger from Portland. Nicholas Hoch, 33, was sitting in 12A, a window seat near the front of the Boeing 737 Max 9. There was something wrong on the plane, he told them, adding, “I love you guys.”The flight, carrying 171 passengers and six crew members, began in ordinary fashion. Headed for Ontario, Calif., it was initially delayed by about 20 minutes to allow for de-icing, said Mr. Hoch, an architect, who was flying to visit his girlfriend’s family.

New York CNN —Columbia University has postponed its massive Giving Day fundraising event scheduled for Wednesday amid simmering tensions on campus over the Israel-Hamas war. At Columbia, school officials took the rare step earlier this month of shutting the campus down to the public as two simultaneous rallies were held on school grounds. That decision came after the assault of a Columbia student who was hanging up posters on campus in support of Israel. In a statement on Tuesday, the alumni club of Israel said it is now “formally disengaged” from UPenn. We are reviewing this incident and will take any appropriate steps with respect to the individuals involved in accordance with university policies,” the university said.

Hong Kong CNN —A corruption investigation in Singapore has expanded to include Ong Beng Seng, a hotel tycoon best known for bringing the Formula 1 Grand Prix to the wealthy city state. The agency had earlier launched an investigation into a case involving the transport minister, in a rare corruption probe involving a cabinet-level official. Ong’s company said he had posted bail of 100,000 Singapore dollars ($76,000) after being given a notice of arrest. Ong is also the sole shareholder of the Singapore Grand Prix, organizer of the marquee sporting event, his spokesperson confirmed to CNN. Rare caseThe news about Ong emerged just days after Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong asked the transport minister to take a leave of absence.

Работы по реабилитации Станции по очистке сточных вод и новой линии обработки осадка выполнены на 80%. Проект реабилитации Станции предусматривает строительство новых технических объектов, реконструкцию существующих объектов, а также модернизацию технологического оборудования, что обеспечит снижение расходов по эксплуатации. Параллельно, чтобы решить проблему неприятного запаха в столице, мы построим технологическую линию по переработке ила методом пиролиза на Станции по очистке сточных вод. По словам специалистов, монтаж этой линии на Станции по очистке сточных вод – единственное долгосрочное решение в этом плане, а суть технологии пиролиза заключается в уменьшении количества осадка. Напомним, что работы по строительству Станции по очистке сточных вод в столице выполняет подрядчик консорциум Passavant Energy & Environment GmbH и Ludwig Pfeiffer Hoch – und Tiefbau GmbH & Co. KG, Германия.
