"You can get the idea that the construction sector is not addressing the challenge, when tenders are not being issued at the right price," the group's president, Pedro Fernandez Allen, told a press conference.

"When you're playing for the playoff race, every 90 feet matters, every game matters," Panik said. "We're playing our best baseball right now. There's something about this team. We're a collective group. It's not just one guy doing it all."

Drew Pomeranz pitched two perfect innings with four strikeouts in relief for the Giants, then Trevor Gott (7-0) worked the eighth. Sam Dyson finished for his second save, but issued a two-out walk and Addison Russell's single to make it interesting until the final out. Schwarber popped up to end it.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The fog machine, strobe lights and blaring music in the clubhouse tell the story of San Francisco's winning midseason vibe after all those months of losing when contending seemed so far out of the question.

Rampant inflation in the price of construction materials and energy is hampering ambitious government plans to boost infrastructure works until 2026, with billions of euros earmarked by the EU for post-pandemic economic stimulus.

Available in 13 colours, there's no doubting the simple lines of this heater give it an understated beauty, perfect for larger parties and impressing your guests. Though it does look a little like a museum memorial light.

The group said the number of failed bids had reached a record high this year - including hospital refurbishments, road extensions and energy-poor residential housing projects - with some relaunched at higher prices months after the initial attempts.

The base is made from sintered stone, which fools you into believing this might be granite or marble. But, in fact, it's weather-proof, scratch-proof and stain-proof — and, as a result, increasingly popular for kitchen worktops as an alternative to granite. Although the heater weighs a whopping 11st, it's set on four rollers with a sturdy brake, so it can easily be moved around.

MADRID, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Spanish construction companies have failed to bid in 1,455 tenders for state projects so far this year after concluding the offer prices would not cover their costs, the main building association said on Friday.

But I'm a bit wary as it doesn't have a protective cover, so when the flames lick up towards the sky, you have to make sure the sparks don't leap onto your furniture (or guests). It's also a bit difficult to move around when lit. It's a bit too much of a gimmick.

The Giants stranded the potential tying run at third in the fifth. Kyle Ryan relieved Cubs starter Alec Mills - still seeking his first career victory in 12 total appearances and four starts dating to 2016 - with one out and induced Pablo Sandoval's inning-ending double play after Mike Yastrzemski's RBI single. San Francisco missed another chance in the seventh.

Cubs: LHP Cole Hamels is scheduled to make a rehab start Tuesday for Triple-A Iowa at San Antonio and will throw up to 45-50 pitches. He has been sidelined by a strained left oblique muscle. "It really is important to find out how Cole comes out of it, how he feels after he throws," Maddon said. ... Hermle C 250 U mit Heidenhain 640 Steuerung: Das ultimative Präzisionswerkzeug für fortschrittliche Bearbeitung Willson Contreras (sprained right foot) will be activated and available for Wednesday afternoon's series finale, perhaps to start behind the plate catching lefty Jon Lester. Contreras worked from the crouch and stood to throw to the bases during warmup drills. ... The Cubs recalled RHP Rowan Wick from Iowa and optioned RHP Carl Edwards Jr. to Triple-A.

I filled the fire pit with kindling and it was a little startling when flames came licking through the dome-shaped spark guard. The warmth from the fire is lovely but it's not so easy to distribute heat if you're sitting around a patio table, especially as it's only about knee-high.

For teeny city terraces or even balconies, this table-top, electric-powered heater is surprisingly chic and really packs a punch. The contemporary design looks a bit like a lampshade, but it's idiot-proof. Just plug it in and pull the cord when you need to warm up — it gives out 1.5kW of heat.

Chimeneas were once a middle-class staple — freestanding terracotta hearths with a bulbous body topped with a thick chimney. They originate from Mexico and you can feel the influence here, thanks to the heater's earthy yellow Mayan and Aztec designs.
