CDF logs another 'terrific year' for economic development
TUPELO – It was another great year for economic development in Lee County and Tupelo. That was the consensus from leaders at the annual Community Development Foundation open house, as it continued its long-held strategy to recruit and retain business and industry. Last year was another example of maintaining the course. For the 15th time since 2005, the Tupelo region was ranked as a Top 10 micropolitan, an admirable feat during times of economic uncertainty. Inflation has leveled off and prices have fallen in some key areas, but tariffs throw another cloud of uncertainty into the equation. Still, last year, the CDF helped steer more than $260 million in capital investment in Tupelo, a 157% increase from a year earlier. Via eight new and expanded industry announcements, 460 jobs were created, and $20.5 million in new payroll along with it. "It was a terrific year," said David Rumbarger, president and CEO of CDF. "With companies like Liebherr coming to Lee County, existing companies like General Atomics and Grammar and other businesses expanding, Amazon taking the building in Turner Industrial Park, it's been quite a year." Rumbarger said only the first phases of some of the companies mentioned were announced, and subsequent phases could be coming down the line. "And of course, you had Ashley that hired 500-600 last year, too," he said. "We're kind of on a roll at this time." Swiss construction equipment maker Liebherr is building a $176 million logistics center in The Hive industrial complex, and is expected to be fully in operation by the first quarter of 2027. "They'll begin to look at hiring by the end of this fall, and their management will be on site in May/June, so they'll be participating in a lot of community activities and doing some pre-planning, training development with ICC, that sort of thing," Rumbarger said. Elsewhere, the Amazon "last-mile" facility in the Turner Industrial Park is well underway and should be functional by the holiday shopping season, he said. Meanwhile, a 96,000-square-foot shell building is under constitution in the Harry A. Martin North Lee Industrial Park, and a prospective tenant has a letter of intent to fill it. Rumbarger said the unnamed company is evaluating exactly what it wants to do, but he is optimistic it will commit. Also, the CDF's Chamber of Commerce division saw 120 new members added, along with 65 ribbon cutting and 50 CDF events. Kurt Shettles, this year's CDF chairman, has been a part of CDF for 15 years. He said the organization has helped his business grow. Shettles is president and CEO of McCarty Architects. "CDF has helped nurture me along the way, and I want to help anyway I can in this position," he said. "Our community is so blessed to have these leaders and volunteers, community folks who have paved the way. And if we can continue that Tupelo Spirit, we're happy to do that." Shettles said membership in the CDF is beneficial to his firm, helping his and other small businesses grow. "We always want to catch that big fish, but CDF also understands our local economy is based on small businesses," he said. "It's been supportive of me for a long time, and I'm happy to do what I can for them." Past chairman Charlie Kirk said the work of the CDF staff is the reason why the community has remained an economic magnet. "I really hope that everybody understands the benefits when CDF is successful," he said. "Whether it's tourism, whether you're a restaurant owner, a commissioned salesman, I mean everybody benefits from their work." The Chamber of Commerce also named Jennifer Lansdell as its 2024-2025 Ambassador of the Year.

Liebherr marks 25 years of RTGs with enhanced product range
Liebherr Container Cranes has introduced the next step in its RTG evolution with its enhanced RTG portfolio, marking 25 years of continuous improvement and innovation. Designed to meet the ever-changing demands of terminal operations, the next generation of Liebherr RTGs delivers optimised efficiency, reduced emissions, and superior performance, ensuring operators can easily select the ideal solution for their operational needs, the company said. The five base models in the range are: * RTG-CB (Electric, Conductor Bar) – A fully electric RTG with a continuous power supply, requiring fixed conductor bar infrastructure. * ERTG-CRD (Electric, Cable Reeling Drum) – A fully electric RTG with a flexible power feed, utilising a reeling drum for cable management. * RTG-HC (Hybrid, Capacitor) – A hybrid RTG utilising super-capacitors for energy recovery in combination with a smaller diesel generator. Offers the lowest capex investment and fastest pay-back period for a hybrid system. * RTG-HB (Hybrid, Battery) – A diesel-electric hybrid RTG utilising battery energy storage, designed for optimal fuel saving and emissions reductions. * RTG-VSG (Variable Speed Genset) – A fuel-efficient diesel RTG with optimised performance, reducing fuel consumption compared to standard diesel RTGs. Sustainability and flexibility With a choice of electric and hybrid models, along with a variable speed generator option, sustainability and flexibility are the key drivers in the range. According to MD-Engineering at Liebherr Container Cranes, Charlie McCarthy, the range allows customers to advance their environmental ambitions and plan for a net zero future. 'Our range of RTGs offers unparalleled flexibility and choice, to meet diverse operational requirements. Our electric RTGs operate with zero local emissions while our hybrid models deliver exceptional performance alongside significant reductions in emissions, running costs and maintenance. Additionally, our variable speed generator RTGs provide exceptional performance and a substantial decrease in emissions compared to traditional diesel machines. Liebherr's proprietary software enables advanced simulations and energy modelling, predicting fuel and energy consumption, for various power system configurations based on clients' specific operational scenarios. This allows us to accurately simulate customers' operations to explore and optimise alternative operating scenarios. Furthermore, by accommodating local and regional economic factors, we can conduct comprehensive economic assessments to identify the optimal machine for a customer's setup, considering both cost and performance.' Together, these options offer terminal operators a clear, sustainable path to improved operational performance. A Legacy of progress Since the introduction of its first RTG, Liebherr has consistently led the way in RTG development, integrating industry-leading innovations to enhance performance and sustainability. The adoption of an eight-rope reeving system from the outset, has offered significantly improved load stability and reduced sway, facilitating precise container handling. This hasn't changed. The eight-rope reeving system remains central to the RTG, delivering the same core benefits of stability and precision. It is complemented by the Liebherr Liduro drive system and a wide selection of power options. Productivity aids and automation features have also evolved, from early destination control to today's advanced solutions that support full autonomy or remote operation, both wired and wireless. Looking ahead Looking ahead, the pace of change is set to continue, with the next 25 years holding even greater potential for innovation. Building on the exceptional progress of the past quarter century, advances in automation, energy efficiency and digital integration will drive the future of container handling. "Technology will continue to evolve, but the core principles behind every Liebherr RTG will remain unchanged. Built to last, each machine is engineered with the highest standards of quality, precision and reliability. From structural integrity to component longevity, a Liebherr RTG is designed for maximum uptime and consistent performance in the toughest port environments. And with world-class service and support to match, customers can rely on Liebherr to deliver long-term value, no matter how the industry evolves," the company said. - TradeArabia News Service

Putin shows off home chapel and favourite drink in bizarre Kremlin tour… and admits he ‘fights urge to punch people'
DICTATOR Vladimir Putin has showed off his private chapel and his favourite drink in a bizarre tour of his Kremlin apartment. The Russian tyrant gave the public a glimpse into his home in an interview marking the 25th anniversary of his first inauguration as president. 5 Putin showed off his private chapel in the interview Credit: East2West 5 The Russian tyrant offered his reporter pal some of his favourite drink - kefir Credit: East2West 5 The pair discussed everything from the war in Ukraine to his grandchildren Credit: East2West The bizarre footage shows Putin giving his favourite interviewer, Pavel Zarubin, a tour of the apartment while answering his questions. When asked about his grandchildren from daughters Maria, 39, and Katerina, 37, Putin says they occasionally visit him unexpectedly in his austere apartment. He said: 'They can, they can. 'But still everyone understands that I have such an around-the-clock schedule, and they try to give advance notice, [and] ask when I'll have a little window to see them.' Zarubin follows up and asks if he is a strict grandfather to which the 72-year-old responds: 'No, no!' Putin did not name his grandchildren but it is known his eldest grandson Roman, 12 - born to his daughter Maria - is half-Dutch, by her first husband Jorrit Faassen, the son of a NATO colonel. The pair then make a stop in the kitchen where Putin is seen getting a bottle of kefir from his German Liebherr fridge, before offering some to Zarubin. The dictator claimed he copes in the kitchen alone before admitting: 'Well, the guys [adjutants] come, they help. 'But now, what for? We'll pour the kefir ourselves.' Kefir is a traditional Russian sour milk associated with gut health, immunity, and longevity - suggesting he is trying to show he's patriotic and staying fit. Putin's 'next three targets' revealed by Zelensky's ex-adviser Putin is later asked about unleashing nuclear war against Ukraine or the West - a question often raised by Russian propagandists. Zarubin asks: 'When [Ukraine and the West] provoke us, provoke us, provoke us – they even started hitting us with NATO missiles. 'And many people had this desire…to strike back. 'Why such cold-bloodedness these three years? Because everything would have ended in nuclear war in that case?' Mad Vlad replies: 'You said it right – they wanted to provoke us. 'They wanted to make us make mistakes. 'Well, and there was no need to use the weapons you're talking about – and, I hope, there won't be. 'We have enough strength and means to bring what was started in 2022 [the war against Ukraine] to a logical conclusion with a result that suits Russia.' The Russian leader also gave a glimpse into his gold-gilded chapel where he claims he fell to his knees to pray after the Nord-Ost siege in 2002. He said: 'Here is [my] little home chapel." He continued: 'Back then, during the Nord-Ost crisis, I, for the first time in my life, knelt.' Hundreds of hostages died in the Nord-Ost siege, mainly from gas used by Putin's pawns, and up to 50 militants were also killed. The interview then took a strange turn as Putin admitted he often has to restrain himself from a craving to punch people. Zarubin asked: 'On the outside, you always seem very cold-blooded and reserved — don't you ever get the urge to, as they say, punch someone?' Putin replied: 'Always….I live with it. But I fight it.' Finally, Putin revealed that he is always thinking about who to crown as his successor and hinted at a potential leadership contest. He said: 'I always think about that. 'In the end, people can have whatever attitude they want toward this, but ultimately, yes, in the final analysis, the choice belongs to the people - the Russian people, the citizens, the voters.' He suggested that the outcome could be skewed with 'election technologies' and 'administrative resources'. But he said: 'The chances of truly achieving something are slim for a person who doesn't have the trust of the people behind them. 'That's a fundamental issue. 'So when I think about this - and I think about it all the time - of course I think that a person should emerge, or better yet several people, so the people have a choice. 'Someone who could earn that trust from the citizens of the country.' Zarubin probed: 'But you're constantly observing and assessing the potential of each person, right?' To which Putin simply replied: 'Yes. That's right.' The bizarre interview - "Russia, Kremlin, Putin, 25 years" - was intended to reveal new personal details about the notoriously secretive Putin. The dictator claimed the apartment has been his main base during the war against Ukraine, but it looked far from homely. Ironically, a large portrait of Russian Emperor Alexander III is sat on a desk when the two open the doors on the left side. Dubbed "The Peacemaker" the Russian Tsar fought no major wars during his reign - a far cry from Putin's rule. But the emperor was also known for tight censorship, empowering the Russian secret police, cracking down on political dissenters, revolutionaries, and nationalist movements, including Ukrainians - all of which may appeal to Putin. Putin became president on the last day of 1999 and served from 1999 to 2008, before serving as prime minister until 2012. The former KGB lieutenant colonel then became president for a second time in 2012 5 Putin's grandson Roman Faassen pictured during a karting race in Tatarstan, Russia, in 2022 Credit: East2West
