Heute werden im kath. Kalender die #Apostel Peter und Paul gefeiert — jene Heiligen, die auch das Patronat unserer #OFS -Gemeinschaft in und um Züri inne haben.

Ich war, gerade eben, am ÖV-Ticketautomaten, im Zürcher HB.
Ich schlug Lil Bro vor:
Lass zur Rigi-Kulm, Beten in der Natur. Nö.
Lass nach Luzern, in die (ehem.) Franziskanerkirche, und auf den Vierwaldstättersee. Nee.
Ob er, zum gefühlt drölfzigsten Mal, ins Katho-Disneyland (Kloster Einsiedeln) wolle. Blanke Begeisterung.😅

Und schon springt mich, aus dem Nichts, eine Ordensschwester an, die ich schon zuuuu lange nicht mehr gesehen habe. Sie sei gerade aufm Weg zu einer Firmung mit einer beeinträchtigten Person.

Auch SO geht #Gemeinschaft :
Jede*r auf dem Weg — und doch im Herz vereint.💝🕊️

So if universities discriminate against academics expressing, say, pro-Gaza views, they can expect a similarly hefty fine from the OfS, yes? 🙃 #UKUniversities #HE #OfS #transphobia https://www.theguardian.com/education/2025/mar/26/university-of-sussex-fined-freedom-of-speech-investigation-kathleen-stock

Good question from @readbeanicecream (paraphrase): Would 𝙛𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 #OpenScience protect it from the kinds of #censorship and #takedowns we're seeing from the #Trump admin?
https://readbeanicecream.surge.sh/2025/02/09/should-science-be-open-and-federated/#federated-science

"Just as Open Science can take its cues from #OpenSource software, Federated science could take its cues from the #fediverse...Open and federated science (#OFS) would be the combination of the two ideas…Scientific research would be transparent and open to all to contribute, read, discuss, distribute and redistribute regardless of platform, publication, or institution. Doing so could increase scientific collaboration and limit the impacts of targeted attacks on science."

Les nouveaux chiffres sur la pendularité 2023 ont été publié par l'OFS:
👉 35% des pendulaires prennent mois de 15 minutes pour se rendre au travail. 9% prennent plus d'1 heure
👉 La moitié des pendulaires utilisent la voiture pour se rendre au travail

La part modale de la voiture pour les trajets pendulaires est donc identique en 2023 qu'en 1990...

New Delhi, Dec 16 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) has rounded off 2024 with the successful completion of the strategic disinvestment of Ferro Scrap Nigam Ltd (FSNL) and the GIC Re Offer for Sale, DIPAM Secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey said on Monday.

"Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) successfully completed the strategic disinvestment of Ferro Scrap Nigam Ltd (FSNL) at Rs 320 crore, transferring 100 per cent equity and management control," the Secretary wrote on X.

DIPAM successfully concluded the GIC Re Offer for Sale #OFS, raising Rs 2,345.55 crore by divesting 3.39 per cent of the government’s stake, he further stated.

“DIPAM continues to generate value for investors through the Offer for Sale and listing route for CPSEs. By ensuring holistic value creation in Central Public Sector Enterprises DIPAM ensures performance enhancement, CAPEX growth, and trust-based asset creation for investors," Pandey added.

The Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs (CCEA) had approved the sale of 100 per cent equity shareholding of MSTC Ltd in Ferro Scrap Nigam Ltd (FSNL) to Konoike Transport Co Ltd of Japan for Rs 320 crore.

FSNL, a wholly owned subsidiary of MSTC Ltd under the Ministry of Steel, was incorporated in 1979 to provide steel mill services, specialising in the recovery and processing of scrap generated during iron and steel production across various steel plants.

The completion of the sale, in September this year, marks the culmination of a strategic disinvestment process initiated in October 2016 when the CCEA granted ‘in-principle’ approval for the sale of MSTC’s equity stake in FSNL to a strategic buyer.

The disinvestment was executed through a two-stage auction process, overseen by a multi-layered decision-making mechanism that involved an Inter-Ministerial Group and a Core Group of Secretaries on Disinvestment.

The two-day offer for sale (OFS) of GIC Re was fully subscribed on the final day of the issue. The Centre, which held 85.78 per cent of the reinsurance company as of June 30, offered to sell up to 5.95 crore shares, representing 3.39 per cent of the total equity capital.

Shares of GIC Re, the country’s largest reinsurance company, had rallied over 75 per cent in the year ahead of the offer for sale with the company being valued at Rs 69,825 crore.

Ich heute noch mehr über den Stern, über #OFS und über „proficisci“ und darüber, dass ich beim Stöbern daran erinnert wurde, dass es in #Scheinfeld ja #OFM gibt, wo sehr liebe Freunde wohnen, die ich längst schon hätte anrufen sollen – das ist schwuppdich gleich ein sehr feiner Anfang.

@harkank Von einfach so hab' ich auch nix gesagt. :-) 3 Semester Kurs und währenddessen fast jeden Mittwoch beim #ÖFS Übungsabend im Metalab zeigen jedoch Wirkung. Gebärdensprachen sind jedenfalls faszinierend, praktisch, und senken viele Barrieren. Ich kann das jedenfalls sehr empfehlen. @sandzwerg
