29+ min ago (641+ words) The workers at GlitterLab, a company producing Christmas decorations in southern Poland, vow to turn those fantasies into reality. Calling themselves "the magicians of glass," their clients have included Swarovski, the French chain Galeries Lafayette, and Harrods, the iconic London department store. "We have the ability to create shapes and designs that glass will not normally take," the company promises on its website. And the whole production process, "our closely guarded trade secret," is manual, making each product unique, it says. Despite its modest appearance, GlitterLab's workshop has been operating for more than 80 years in Cz'stochowa, a town of 200,000 in southern Poland. It was founded by Mostowska's grandparents in the aftermath of World War II, making her the third generation in the family to manage the business. "They produced glass cigarette holders, then "eprouvettes' " I think that's the word " tiny…...

It is expected to cement the grip of President Sadyr Zhaparov, who has sought to suppress dissent in what was once Central Asia's most democratic country. The vote is being held a year earlier than scheduled, a move that officials have justified by arguing that the parliamentary elections would otherwise fall too close to the 2027 presidential elections. There have also been sweeping changes to Kyrgyzstan's electoral system, with 30 constituencies electing three lawmakers each. According to the Central Election Commission, 467 candidates are vying for the 90 seats in Kyrgyzstan's one-chamber parliament, the Jogorku Kenesh. There's also a gender quota system that requires at least one female lawmaker from each district. Analysts say candidates…...

The deluges triggered landslides, damaged roads, cut off parts of the island, and downed communication lines. The challenging weather conditons and the lack of heavy equipment also hampered rescue efforts. Aid has been slow to reach the hardest-hit city of Sibolga and the district of Central Tapanuli district in North Sumatra. Videos on social media showed looters scrambling past crumbling barricades, flooded roads and broken glass to get their hands on food, medicine and gas. Some even waded through waist-deep floodwaters to reach damaged convenience stores. North Sumatra Police first reported looting incidents on Saturday evening, said police spokesperson, Ferry Walintukan, adding that regional police had been deployed to restore order. "The looting happened before…...

(Martial Trezzini/Keystone via AP) Supporters of the "citizen service initiative" in the referendum ending Sunday hope it will boost social cohesion by adding jobs in areas like environmental prevention, food security and elderly care. Parliament overwhelmingly opposes the idea, mainly for cost reasons and out of concern that it could crimp the economy by taking tens of thousands of young people out of the workforce. While initial polls suggested a tight contest, a more recent survey showed the initiative was on track to fail. The vote gives an indication of how a European populace views mandatory national…...
