Open Space in Historic Reform Housing Complex Threatened
September 10th, 2008, 3:08 pm
MAS testified at the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) yesterday in opposition to a proposal to construct an underground parking garage in the courtyard of an 1890s model housing complex.
Located within the Brooklyn Heights Historic District, the Riverside Houses complex is one of the most important buildings in the history of 19th-century housing in the city. Like many reform housing designs, the landscaping features and open spaces of Riverside are equally as important as the architecture itself. The parking garage would truncate the courtyard's open space, require the removal of 12 mature trees, and potentially damage archeological resources. MAS testified that this is not acceptable given the original design intent to provide access to light, air, and a healthy living environment for the building's residents. Due to the number of speakers opposing the project, yesterday's hearing ran late, and so LPC did not make a decision on whether or not to approve the project.
MAS Testimony on Riverside Apartments, 20-34 Joralemon Street, Brooklyn Heights Historic District – September 9, 2008
The MAS Preservation Committee (with one abstention) believes the proposal to construct a garage under the yard of the Riverside Apartments, thereby destroying the courtyard, a significant historic feature of the buildings, is inappropriate to the complex.
The Riverside Houses complex was designed in 1890 by architects William Field & Son along with the project's developer, Alfred Tredwell White, and is one of the most important buildings in the history of nineteenth-century housing in New York and Brooklyn. Like many reform housing designs, the landscaping features and open spaces of Riverside are equally important as the architecture itself. This is why we find the proposed garage under the rear open space to be inappropriate for this housing complex.
The primary concept of improved housing for the poor and working class was access to light, air, and sanitary conditions. In the Riverside Apartments, this was accomplished by the generous interior courtyard as well as the exterior stairs. Although four of the nine buildings in the complex were demolished in the mid-twentieth century as a result of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, we believe only a small portion of the courtyard was lost and many of the defining features of the courtyard remain, even if they have not been properly maintained over the decades.
By constructing a garage for 100 cars under the courtyard, the current owners will be destroying the apartment's original courtyard features and will be increasing the pollution in the reform housing. The work will necessitate that part of courtyard be removed for a driveway that truncates the courtyard's walkways. In addition, the proposed work will require the removal of 12 mature trees that currently help to block the noise and pollution from the BQE. All of these are the antitheses of the original intent of the design – that is, to provide a healthy living environment through increased access to light, clean air, and open space. We therefore believe the garage to be inappropriate to the building and would like instead to see this very important garden improved and restored.
As we testified in May, given the potential archeological resources beneath the courtyard, we are also concerned about the excavation of two-thirds of the courtyard space by approximately 13.75 feet for this garage. This site was used for industry as early as the mid-eighteenth century when it was a brewery before the Revolutionary War. Subsequently, the site was a gin distillery, a candle factory, and a sugar refinery before White acquired the site. Since the garden has been relatively undisturbed since the construction of the Riverside Apartments and since the site lies on the natural high water line, there is a high likelihood that under the garden are significant archeological resources that pertain to the history of Brooklyn industry and the modification of the East River shoreline.

Re: tuning parameter
In Oracle7 and Oracle8.0 , LOG_SIMULTANEOUS_COPIES (This parameter controls the number of redo copy latches when the system has more than one CPU) and LOG_SMALL_ENTRY_MAX_SIZE
In Oracle 8i and oracle 9.0, these parameters are obsolete.
In Oracle9.2, multiple redo allocation latches become possible with init.ora LOG_PARALLELISM. The log buffer is split in multiple LOG_PARALLELISM areas that each have a size of init.ora LOG_BUFFER. The number of redo copy latches is determined by the number of cpus.
hope this will help you

I received a Ph.D. in Ecology from the University of the Azores (Portugal) in 2009 and I am currently working in the Island Biodiversity, Biogeography and Conservation research group (IBBC) of cE3c. In addition I integrate the Azorean Biodiversity group (http://www.gba.uac.pt) with a post-doc position at the University of the Azores.For many years I have worked on Life History Evolution and Evolutionary Ecology using Coccinellidae (Ladybirds) as model taxonomic group. Besides the fundamental ground, I am interested also in a more applied aspect, studying ladybirds as potential biological control agents. Presently my main research focuses on biological invasions in an island context, using ladybirds as model species. A long-term collaboration with colleagues from the École Nationale de Formation Agronomique (University of Toulouse, France) has been maintained.Presently I am a participant of the European COST Action project "TD1209: ALIEN Challenge".
My current research is driven by three overarching objectives: i) inventory of ladybird biodiversity in the Azores, ii) potential of ladybirds as biological control agents, and iii) invasibility of the Azorean habitats for invasive alien ladybird species.
I finished my Post-Doc contract recently, but I am keeping my collaboration with cE3c, particularly with my Azorean colleagues.

Edward writes: Last week we had abysmal weather - cold and wet - but what a difference seven days makes! Today we were blessed with warmth, a blue sky and so little wind that it was never a feature of the day. In fact this was one of those days you wish you could roll it up and take round with you and bring out for days on the bike.
This week we met at Hauxton Green and, no surprises here, we had twenty riders assembled for the trip out to Horseheath and then on to Clare, and this week we were under the expert eye of Mike C. This week we welcomed Sean who was making his first appearance with the Thursday group, having previously been out on the club's weekend rides.
With so many we split into two groups and left Hauxton up to Whittlesford where we joined the cycle way over to Sawston and as we passed Whittlesford Church a cuckoo was heard.
We went through Sawston and joined the other cycleway to Babraham and then on to the much improved farm track through to Great Abington.
A slight hitch to the plans occurred here as the second group took the back road via Hildersham whereas the first group went through the Great Abington and also through Hildersham village. The result of this was that the second group, on the slightly shorter route, got in front of the lead group. None of this really mattered as the difference in mileage was negligible.
We passed through Linton, back over the A1307 and down into Bartlow followed by the climb up to the turning for Shudy Camps.
We continued with another gentle climb through Shudy Camps and then the tiny hamlets of Mill Green and Cardinal's Green before making another crossing of the A1307 (Upset Driver No 1) into Horseheath where we stopped for coffee and cakes at the ever-welcoming Old Red Lion Inn.
Not unexpectedly we were greeted by more members and one count made twenty six in total. We all sat outside in the sunshine and enjoyed the fare on offer and as usual we were extremely well looked after. It's worth reminding members that the Old Red Lion is hosting a cycling event on the day of the tour and are inviting clubs to join them.
After leaving the pub, again in two groups, we went along to West Wickham and over Wratting Common before joining the always popular cross country route via Little Thurlow to the A143.
Along here a buzzard could be seen overhead (as well as Upset Driver No 2 who passed us with a volley of abuse). Once on the A134 we passed the prison at Stradishall and turned off the main road for a short loop before coming back to the A134 which we crossed and then headed for Denston. This brought us to a most attractive section of our ride as the lanes were narrow with grass growing in the middle as we passed through Assington Green. It should be said how fabulous the countryside looked under the sunshine with May blossom on the hedgerows and of course the ever present Queen Annes's Lace and many other colours which made a very attractive backdrop to our ride.
It's also notable how the seasons move on as the brilliant yellow of the oil seed rape starts to fade away and the corn crops become more evident. Our next village was Poslingfield and a last downhill took us into Clare arriving at about 1.30 pm. and 38 miles. The time didn't matter as lunch is not booked here so some had packed lunches in the park where the last vestiges of the old railway can still be seen, others ate in The Cock and yet others had fish and chips.
After lunch we all assembled outside The Cock before starting the return leg which took us up to Hundon and shortly after into Kedington and a crossing of the A143 which took us into Great Wratting. Again we were on narrow country lanes taking us up to Withersfield and the second crossing of Wratting Common but this time heading for West Wratting. In this village the group divided into two with about half heading off to Six Mile Bottom and thence into Cambridge whilst the last remaining eight carried on into Balsham before heading down into Hildersham and Great Abington, back over the farm track to Babraham and Sawston. We finished the ride via Stapleford and Great Shelford and the last four of Belinda, Sharon, Craig and David W completed the full circuit running up 64 miles. This was a splendid ride in perfect weather, in fact one for the scrapbook, and so our thanks to Mike C for taking us round. Edward Elmer

Three Catholics executed in Indonesia
Three Indonesian Catholics who were on death row for inciting violence against Muslims in 2000, were executed by firing squad last night. Fabianus Tibo, Marianus Riwu and Dominggus Silva were found guilty of inciting attacks during religious rioting in Central Sulawesi in 2000. All three had repeatedly denied any involvement in the riots. Many church and human rights groups had campaigned for the men's reprieve and a reopening of the case. The execution was delayed last month after an appeal from Pope Benedict. Before the execution, the three men were not allowed to see a priest and receive the Sacraments. Father Tumbelaka, parish priest at Poso's Saint Therese Parish church who had been visiting them, was refused access to them by the Prosecutors Officers. The Office has also denied the church permission to take the bodies to a chapel of rest in Palu St Mary's Cathedral as they had requested. "I am deeply disappointed that the Prosecutor's Office rejected their demand to be confessed and receive the Sacraments one last time," he said. The decision violates Indonesian law which grants death row convicts the right to have their last wishes granted. Father Tumbelaka has celebrated Mass for the men's families. "There are no more tears in our family . . . we have lost the power to cry," said Robert Tibo, Fabianus's eldest son. In his last public statement, Robert's father, Fabianus, said he was "not afraid of dying." Instead, he said: "I am praying that my family be able to provide for themselves and forgive me for not being with them all these years." Local community leaders have expressed concern that the executions may re-ignite religious violence. Some 4,000 extra troops have been deployed in Sulawesi to boost security. Previously known as Celebes, Sulawesi is Indonesia's fourth largest island. 80% of residents are Muslim, while 17% are Christian.

I have had a lot of difficulty navigating the waters of body image.
Body Image has been my number one biggest problem, even when I wasn't aware of it. Even more than my obsession with health.
For almost the wholetwo years after I made the commitment to the Fuck It Diet, I would still get a look at myself in the reflection of a store window as I passed by and totally seize up in horror that I was "__unimportant adjective__" and not fitting into the "acceptable" box that I always had aspired to fit into.
Well, somehow, somehow somehow, after two years… my perfectionism has nearly fallen away. I just don't really care anymore about being what I used to need to be.
Part of that has been time, confidence, time, confidence, affirming and affirming over and over again that I am more than what I look like and FUCK anybody else who tries to convince me otherwise. Part of it is writing this blog. Part of it is Body Positivity on Pinterest. Part of it may even have been some casual and sporadic EFT (look it up) and part of it was just plain time and waiting to have mini epiphany after mini epiphany about the way I saw the world and myself.
So, beautiful people, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And please remember this:
None of us on this earth are here to be small and docile. We are here to be expansive and filled with light and life and enthusiasm and compassion, for ourselves and others.
So go and be that.
Stop trying to be small.
And here is my workbook. Click on it to bring you to more info!

Epcot, the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, was originally conceived by Walt Disney as a concept of urban living, but when he passed away the powers that be decided that realising Walt's vision without him leading it was too risky, so it became a park based around the future, innovation and learning.
Best rides at Epcot
Epcot is the most un-Disney of all the Disney World parks and has a few stand-out headliner rides with a number of smaller-scale attractions and interesting shows. It feels less like a theme park and more like the most badass fun science & history park ever.
Test Track
Test track was the best start to our morning. There's no better way to wake up than speeding round a circuit track in an open-top sports car. You design your own car before riding, and the vehicle is put through its paces to test the efficacy of your design choices. Results are displayed on a screen at the end of each test so you can see how your car design performed compared to those designed by other people in the vehicle (it holds up to 6 people per car). Our car was the bomb, visually (more Saints Row than GTA), but totally bombed in all the performance tests except for speed. Here we are having a lovely time indeed:
The Sum of All Thrills
Innoventions East houses this super cool simulator ride where you design your own ride experience – rollercoaster, bobsled or jet. You get to play around with the track layout, speed, velocity and all sorts of fun stuff using the interactive tools like rulers and dials that make you balance the physical elements of the track so your ride could actually work in practice. So after the design stage is complete you head up to the simulator and you're strapped in to a twosey seat with an overhead console that fits pretty snug over your entire head. You can't really turn your head inside the console, but you can see the person next to you via videolink in the top corner of your screen. Anyway, our rollercoaster was called INFINITE COBRA and was AWESOME. My mum and dad made a bobsled ride called "Winter Wonderland" and the computer kept making them re-build their ride because it was too slow to make it round the track. Here's an idea of what you look like from the outside whilst you're riding:
Club Cool
This isn't a ride, nor a show, there's nothing to eat here and it's really easy to miss it, but I love Club Cool! So what is it? It's a Coca-cola sponsored attraction that offers complimentary soda fountain tasters from all over the world. There's soda from Japan, Peru, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Thailand, Greece and a really really really disgusting one from Italy. It's called Beverly. It's like tonic water and Angostura bitters. It's pure gross. Here's my Beverly face:
Probably my favourite of all the Epcot attractions is Soarin'. It's a huge open-fronted hang glider simulator that takes you over California's pine forests, lakes, cities, ski slopes, orange groves – some with complementary scents carried in the breeze as you woosh over the locations. You can see some toes from the row above you dangling down. It's a wonderful ride and such a great experience, if it wasn't for the mad wait times I'd ride it over and over if I could.
I've left the best til last on the best rides series – finally we'll be looking at Animal Kingdom next!

Does anyone work at SIMPLE in unsteady and compressibel flow
Does anyone work at SIMPLE or improvement of SIMPLE in unsteady and compressibel flow? I have some problem about these.you can contact me at email@example.com.
Re: Does anyone work at SIMPLE in unsteady and compressibel flow
Dear Mr Junl
By your question, I am not certain if you are referring to the algorithm Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure-Linked Equations (SIMPLE). It has been several years since I studying this algorithm. If you are interested in a description of this algorithm (and its successor SIMPLE-Revised or SIMPLER), I suggest a textbook titled _Numerical_Heat_Transfer_and_Fluid_Flow_ by S. V. Patankar, ©1980, Hemisphere Publ., especially pp. 120-134. Hope this helps.
I am not certain that SIMPLE is appropriate for compressible flow because the method employs a staggered grid. SIMPLER assumes a pressure field and determines a correction necessary to adjust the velocity flow-field for satisfying continuity. Then the pressure field is corrected to match the revised velocity fields. The staggered grid alleviates a tendency to converg on a zig-zag pressure field (i.e., pressure value at one node differing from values at adjacent nodes, while the values at the adjacent nodes are similar to each other. At any rate, if any shocks are present, I suspect the advantage of the staggering may be lost in the scale changes needed to avoid smearing. Hence, I'm uncertain of the advantage of using SIMPLE in compressible flow, or at least where shocks might be present. In my own efforts (admittedly with very sparce grids), that when I used a relaxation coefficient for pressure greater than unity, the solution diverged.

In a post on his instagram page, Gabu seemed to be addressing people who were familiar to him.
"About 14 years ago, I gave myself to the streets with my first song, Paulina Paulina. I have been loyal to the streets, made music, hit music, made you dance, chipo mamaz , cry, laugh and do all you wanted to do. I never asked for anything, not even to cheer me, but all I wanted was for you to protect my family. Now young nigga you have no f****ng respect. You robbed and beat up my loving mother. I feel so sad that young niggaz attack and disrespect mothers who feed them. I am not a blogger but I am crying as #bugubugu and if I ever find you nigga, I will kill you. l love you mum," he wrote.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I am facing a weird problem while using the library. I randomly receive a 'COM Exception: Interface not registered' exception while trying to update the tasks.
I can successfully create a task and perform other operations but the update process is causing it throw the COM Exception and i m not sure why.
The only difference between the 'Add' and the 'Edit' operations is that the 'Edit' operation is performed on a thread because i have multiple tasks which are to edited and updated simultaneously.
Please help me.
All calls to the library must exist on the same thread. This is a wrapper for a COM library that must be initialized and instantiated on each thread.
Thanks for your reply.
Actually this was possible with the older version of this library. I used to update the tasks on threads and it succeeded at that time.
The older version that we used earlier was 1.5.0
The library is not designed to work on multiple threads. The instance of the TaskService should be in the same thread as the one you use to create new thread definitions and register those definitions. One option for working around this is to use the XML
from the thread definition to make changes and then pass it back to your primary thread for registration. Another is to just create another instance of the TaskService in each thread.
Got the problem!
Actually i was doing the same thing as you mentioned i.e the task service object was being initialized and used on different threads. Now i will choose to create new instance of task service for each thread.
Thanks for your reply and such a great library.

text: OPEC President Ali Rodriguez said that the oil cartel could alter its production levels before its members meet again in June if the 20-day average price of its crude oil basket moves outside the target $22-$28 range. Rodriguez, also Venezuela's Energy and Mines Minister, told a news conference with foreign correspondents that it was too early to assess OPEC's March 27 decision to increase production by 1.7 million barrels per day (bpd) and adopt the price band mechanism, but he was not worried by the current price of oil. OPEC's oil basket price has fallen below the bottom of the cartel's target range in recent days, although the 20-day average price stood at $24.36 per barrel last Tuesday, according to figures compiled by Reuters. Asked if OPEC could modify its current output ceiling of 24.7 million barrels per day (bpd) if the 20-day average fell below $22 per barrel, he replied: "It is perfectly possible. If there is a fall so significant as to indicate that the trend...will be maintained below $22 of course (the measures) would be applied." He added that OPEC's monitoring committee would study the situation before informing each country of its share of the cut. "(Prices) don't worry us for the moment. The basket fell below $22 yesterday, but today it recovered its position in the range," Rodriguez said, noting that there is normally a seasonal fall in prices in the second quarter. "If the average over 20 days is below $22 per barrel a cut is made," Rodriguez said, clarifying doubts over whether the supply change was triggered by 20 consecutive days outside the range or a 20-day average. Rodriguez said the price band mechanism was still in its infancy and OPEC wanted to test the market's reaction to this new system. "This mechanism is a first step in the direction towards stabilizing the markets and it has to be put to the test," he said. OPEC ministers are due to meet again on June 21 in Vienna, and Rodriguez said they would "make an assessment of the decisions taken -- the output increase and the mechanism -- so we can progressively perfect the mechanism." Rodriguez said he personally supported narrowing the target range in the future if possible, to reduce speculation on highly volatile oil futures markets, although he conceded that it could not be totally stamped out. He did not specify how much he wanted the price band narrowed. World oil demand was likely to rise by up to three million barrels per day by the end of the year, and Rodriguez said more OPEC output hikes were possible later in the year, although he said it was too early to be specific. The minister said he did not have information about whether state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela had completed the output rise due to take place on April 1, but he insisted that the company was able to fill its new quota of 2.845 million barrels per day. Venezuela's export rise would consist mostly of heavy crude oils, as those were the first to be cut last year when prices slumped, he added. - (Reuters)

Flight attendants sue Boeing over 'toxic cabin air that caused memory loss and tremors'
FOUR flight attendants are suing Boeing over claims that toxic air seeped into their plane and made them seriously ill.
Lawyers for the women have accused the aircraft manufacturer of failing to act on potential dangers.
They say that company documents suggest Boeing knew of the risk that bleed air could contain dangerous byproducts of burning engine oil.
Flight attendant Vanessa Woods said: "I knew something was seriously wrong with me. I just was not the same person."
She said she suffered from fatigue, tremors, memory loss and concentration problems and was unable to return to work.
The women were working for Alaska Airlines when they say that all four became sick and two passed out during a Boston-to-San Diego flight.
The one-year-old Boeing 737 jet made an emergency landing in Chicago, and all four were taken to hospitals, according to the lawsuit.
It is alleged that an engineer tried but failed to draw management's attention to the issue, concluding in a 2007 email: "Bottom line is I think we are looking for a tombstone before anyone with any horsepower is going to take interest."
The Chicago lawsuit comes after a February inquest into the death of British Airways pilot Richard Westgate revealed that more could be killed by toxic fumes.
Coroner Sheriff Payne said: "In my opinion there is a risk that future deaths will occur unless action is taken."
In the first four months of this year pilots reported 167 cases of toxic cabin air.
Pilots requested a priority landing 12 times, while two pilots made an emergency Mayday call and one flight was diverted.
In one incident, 11 cabin crew became light-headed and had to take emergency oxygen after exposure to noxious fumes.

Black sofas for so many years now have been and will be always be the most popular sofa. It is because the color fits with every decoration, color of wall, lamp, etc. You can put it in living room, guest room or even in your bedroom. Most of material is made from leather. It will look so expensive, and even the price that we guess sometimes is lower than we thought. It is because of the color.
Most cafés use this kind of sofa. Black sofas are used at that place because they look so luxurious and clean. Sometimes customers spill their drinks on sofa but because the color is black it hides stain. You also can put it in your living room. While you are watching a movie and you drop your popcorn or your drink on it, it will still be fine.
Because the color is black you can combine sofa with colorful pillows or rags. It will make sofa not look too dark. You also can try looking for black sofas living room design or black sofas décor in a magazine or on internet so you can learn how to decorate your living room with that sofa.
Black sofas can look futuristic if it is combined with steel on sofa's legs or on their arms. And it will also be good if you install a carpet that matches the color of sofa, or any color so it will make your room look a little bit brighter. If you choose to have a classic atmosphere it will be fine also if you're flooring is a similar color as sofa.
Even the color it can fit in any room, you must think about sofa's model. Because not every sofa's model can be suitable in your room, even the color of sofa can fit in any room with any decorations and colors. Black sofas are so luxurious and expensive also look classic, so you must be careful to choose model, material and size when you purchase a sofa for your room.

Start Slideshow
- Block OrnamentIf your house is overrun with ABC blocks, turn them into Christmas tree ornaments for a fun family craft. Blocks are probably beyond abundant in your home, but you might not be quite ready to give them away, so this is a good, green way to bring new life into them. You only need a few supplies for this quick craft, and it's easy to do with your kids this holiday season. Here's how to recycle your ABC blocks into Christmas ornaments.1
- Block Ornament
Step 1: Gather Supplies
 Send your kids on a hunt for stray alphabet blocks and ask them to gather a few that they would like to turn into Christmas ornaments. While they're searching through the toy bins and under the bed, you'll need to gather glue, glitter, yarn, a knitting needle and a drill.2
- Block Ornament
Step 2: Drill Holes
 Start with the parent-only task of drilling holes in each block. Use a power drill to create a small hole through one corner of each block as shown above. Then using a knitting needle (if you have an older child they can do this part), thread yarn through the block's hole. Cut the yarn at a length long enough to hang it on a tree branch and then knot the two ends together.3
- Block Ornament
Step 3: Prepare for Sparkles
 Let your child line one side of each block with glue, simply add glue to the block in any pattern she likes.4
- Block Ornament
Step 4: Glitter!
 Then sprinkle glitter onto the gluey portions or pat each block, glue side down, into a plate of glitter. Repeat, adding glue and then glitter to each side of each block. Keep on going until you've created enough ABC block ornaments for your tree.5
- Block Ornament
Step 5: Hang Your Blocks
 Hang the sparkling recycled ABC block Christmas ornaments on your tree and enjoy! You'll especially appreciate these keepsakes as your children grow older and most of their other toys and blocks have been passed on to other children.6

Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi continues to solidify his
hold on power with a clear victory in the two-stage constitutional referendum
that was called to ratify Egypt's new constitution. While much of the media
coverage of the referendum covered the opposition protests, led by the National
Salvation Front coalition, less has been said about how convincing the Muslim
Brotherhood victory turned out to be.According to unofficial results
published on the Al-Ahram website, the first round resulted in 57 percent voting
"yes" and 43% voting "no." In the second round that took place this past
weekend, 71% voted "yes" and 29% voted "no." Thus, the final results were 64%
yes, and 36% no. While the opposition has claimed some voting abuses, no major
irregularities have been reported.

Tour 2017 VIDA | Tour 2016 Dance Tango with Life | National Tour
II a new sensation new programm, big cast, more entertainment. 2017 on tour again!
Tempo, poetry, elegance: The Great Dance
of Argentina celebrates on big stage the many faces of the Argentine Culture
The best I hace ever seen
(Buenos Aires Herald)
The Great Dance Of Argentina
Vida II a
new sensation
Tournee 2017 - erste Termine | first dates | primeras fechas
The Argentinean dance event returns to Europe The Great Dance Of
"Vida II" a festival of the senses "Argentina
is more than Tango" say, of all people, two of the best and most
renowned tango dancers in the world, Nicole Nau and Luis Pereyra, who see
themselves as empathetic cultural ambassadors of Argentina. They do not bring a
show to the stage, but rather a piece of Argentinean life in which tango has
a starring role, of course. Following the successful 2013 tour with 100,000
delighted spectators in Europe and America and nightly standing ovations, they
are back on tour through Europe with The Great Dance of Argentina and the new
programme Vida, with over 90 dates on the tour schedule for 2014/15.
Vida II (Spanish for Life), Nicole Nau and Luis Pereyra are once again
celebrating a festival of the senses with the dancers and musicians in their
company. They dance the pain, hope, joy and power of their people. They dance
the moment, they live in the moment again and again, brimming with intensity,
passion and vitality. Vida is a tribute to the culture of their homeland,
Argentina: to tango in all its melancholia, its elegance and eroticism but
also its primal power, its playful lightness and joy that are too often masked
by clichés. But Vida also takes the audience to rural Argentina, where the
vidala, the zamba and the chacarera are danced. The powerful beat of the large
bombo drums, the rapid Argentinean tap dance in which the gauchos compete and
the breakneck whirling of the boleadoras are pure rhythm, bursting with energy.
Music, song and dance are brought together in celebration: of the culture of
their country, of life itself. Nicole Nau and Luis Pereyra were awarded
the Argentinean State Prize for Culture in 2012 for their authentic
representation of Argentinean culture.In 2014, the Nicole Nau & Luis
Pereyra Company was elected a member of CID UNESCO. In 2001, Luis Pereyra
received a Tony Award. Nicole Nau appears on two stamps issued by the
Argentinean postal service. Nicole is an author and has published three books
on tango.Luis Pereyra gave a lesson to Lady Diana and Prince Charles in

Eutelsat 9A/9B @ 9°East is mostly made up of European channels that shows movies, sports, Documentaries, Musics News and lot more. they boast of over 300 channels which we can receive here in Africa. But Most of the exciting channels are locked.
What Kind of Channels Can I Receive on Eutelsat 9°East?You are sure to enjoy some free to Air channels like: BBC, BLOOMBERG, CCTV, NICKELODEON,M1, M4, and lot more.
There are also some exciting sport channels where you can watch Live football games across Europe including EPL and LALIGA without me forgetting European competitions like Champion League and Europa League.
Now to The full details of this package.: All the football channels where you can watch this football games are all locked you can only unlock these channels through CCcam. using a valid account, if you are able to get this cccam account you are sure to enjoy live football games across Europe.
Some of the channels that can be unlocked through this CCcam are: Digisport 1, 2, 3, sport1 and Sport2, OTE sports and host of others.
To view all the channel lists on this satellite simple Click on this link: http://en.kingofsat.net/freqs.php?&pos=9E&standard=All&ordre=freq&filtre=no
CCCam is a kind of module that decrypts Some encrypted channels am not going in to details of that in this post for those who know of it can go ahead but for those that doesn't have an idea about CCcam should wait as i will be during justice to that very soon in subsequent posts.
HOW CAN I TRACK THIS SATELLITE?these are the frequencies for the channels:
How to locate this signal: firstly you should track Eutelsat7°East with frequency 10927 H 30000 after getting about 75 to 80% on this frequency you can now switch to Eutelsat 9°East using this frequency 11804 V 27500 Or 11938 H 27500 Any of the two Tps are easy to track. now from Eutelsat7a move the dish to the left if you are standing behind the dish or you move to the right if you are standing at the front of the dish, now adjust the elevation of the dish. and don't forget to keep tweaking your lnb. the signal is very close to Eutelsat 7°East after getting the signal on either 11804 V 27500 or 11938 H 27500 you should blind can for others to come and be very careful not to get star-times channels on those frequencies. on 11938 you should get channels like African media, cctv, ptv and on 11804 you should see channels like AFN port, Afn pacific, etc. anything short of that you are yet to get the signal. i also do recommend a Genuine strong Ku Band LNB.
You Can Also Read:
Important Notice you should Know:This is the bone of contention over the weeks many people still see this satellite as untraceable due to their locations, i must say this satellite has caused a lot of confusion as to the fact that so many claimed to track this on 90cm and 1m dish and so many also has tried even with a 1.5m dish yet no signal.
Through proper diagnosis i discovered that only those in western part of Nigeria are able to get this channel on 90cm and 1m dish other regions in Nigeria like the South, north and Eastern Parts are unable to do so on 90cm or 1m dish. But if you were successful with 1m Dish in any region outside west in Nigeria please do notify us.
- For Eastern Part Of Africa Reports reaching us Confirmed it working very well on 90cm,
- For other Western African Countries like Ghana, Mali, e.t.c i am yet to get a report which might likely be, you will need more than 1m dish for those regions.
- But in Nigeria for Northern Parts 1.8m dish is the required dish size but for Eastern and southern parts of Nigeria you will need over 1.8m dish maybe 2.4 meter and above.
UPDATE ON SPORT24This channel has been of help to soccer lovers, its a channel that airs live football games to learn about this click here
but as at yesterday 22nd march 2016 it went off, and there has been rumors that the channel will go off by April which i cant confirm if that rumor is true but i don't see it going off.. But what exactly happened yesterday?
MTNworldwide Tv Carried out some upgrade which caused some changes MTN worldwide tv on Nss7 @ 20west changed its frequency and symbol rate.you can no longer receive the channel on it formal TP but with this new Tp 4126 V/H 20465 its still Cband LNB.
But as at the time of publishing this post we were unable to track Mtnworldwide with 90cm dish using scalar ring which currently means its no longer working on smaller dishes except 1.8m and above but i was able to get it on 1.5m in northern Nigeria but not strong enough.
For other Eastern Africa you can continue to get Mtnworldwide Tv on its other position on Nss12 @ 57east... its much easier for your region but other western African countries you need a 1.8m dish to get this package on nss7 @ 20west. Mind you its still using same key which you can always get HERE

The NHL world will have to wait at least a few more hours to find out where this offseason's most-coveted free agent will land.
Brad Richards is expected to make his decision Saturday, as Calgary, Los Angeles, the New York Rangers and Toronto are the final teams in the running, sources tell ESPN.com's Scott Burnside.
A handful of teams made their pitches to the Richards camp throughout Friday's first day of free agency, including the Flyers and Lightning.
According to the Tampa Tribune, Richards called Lightning GM Steve Yzerman to say he wouldn't return to the team where he won a Stanley Cup in 2004.
Richards, 31, was on his way to a top-five finish in the NHL scoring race this past season before a concussion shelved him in February. He had 28 goals and 49 assists in 72 games with the Dallas Stars.
Scott Burnside covers the NHL for ESPN.com.

We signed up for a nine day tour of the Gobi Desert. To make it cheaper, we grouped up with three other people. Kim was an older (though I'm not sure exactly how old) Korean guy who took tons and tons of pictures. Johan and Jetlse were a young guy and girl (but just friends!) from Belgium. Johan, possibly the most laidback person I've ever met, thought everything was "no problem," and Jetlse was a total sweetheart who could find the silver lining in almost anything. The crew consisted of Gana, our big, jolly driver who would make "cuckoo!" noises at random like he was a General Mills mascot, and Sonje, the more quiet cook.
The beginning of our trip was a little rough for me, to be honest. The roads in Mongolia are so terrible, the van hopped and shook all over the place. On our way out of Ulaanbaatar, there was a paved road, but it was in such bad shape that all the cars drove on the ground next to it instead of on it. The few that did use it seemed to spend more time steering around potholes than driving forward. Most of the country, though, is crisscrossed by dirt roads. Actually, "road" might be too generous of a term. Many of them were just tire tracks through the desert, and sometimes we were even blazing our own trail. Between our slow progress and the long distances we covered, we spent about eight hours in our van each day.
Luckily, our van was somewhat comfortable and up for the challenge of the tough terrain. It was an ancient, sturdy, Russian-made beast that was easy to fix if something broke. We didn't have anything major go wrong. At one point, the muffler was coming loose, but that was an easy fix for Gana. The van did just fine driving through rivers (which we had to do several times and some were so deep, water was seeping in through the doors), but we did get stuck in the mud once. Gana had to wade through the mud and change something on the tires to give us more traction. There was also one nasty moment when the van stalled at a crazy angle on top of a hill and we almost rolled over, but once again, Gana had it under control. (While we were all freaking out and trying to grab hold of something, Johan remained leaning back in his seat and said, "No problem.")
We also didn't have access to modern conveniences, like plumbing. The places we stayed at night had outhouses, but for the most part, we were taking care of all our business out in the great wilderness. At first I was nervous, but eventually looking around for a rock and squatting down behind it became the most normal thing in the world. A few times when our van stopped for pee breaks, we were surrounded by level, sandy ground with no brush or obstructions in sight. In those cases, we either went behind the van or just walked into the distance. We were able to take two showers during our nine day tour. The other days we freshened up with baby wipes.
At night we stayed with nomadic families in ger camps. The gers were quite comfortable and cozy, really. They're made with a wood frame with canvas wrapped around. Inside there are usually about six beds along the wall and a table, chairs, and??wood burning??stove in the middle. They all had some sort of flooring, either wood or carpets. Our little group of five always had our own ger. Even though we were staying with nomads, we didn't have a whole lot of interaction with them.
So in a lot of ways, Mongolia feels like the wild west. Besides the tire tracks and herds of domesticated camels and sheep, there are few signs of life out in the country. It's the least densely populated independent country in the world. While we occasionally went by ger camps, we hardly ever saw other cars. The towns we came to were very strange because they were literally in the middle of nowhere. They seemed completely alien and out of place. And, again, reminded me of an old Western movie. All they needed were swinging doors and strutting sheriffs.
Up next: what we actually saw and did in the Gobi Desert.

Spain neglecting to keep principles: Pique
Sunday, August 28, 2016
No comments
Spain can no more match the principles that won consecutive European Championship titles in 2008 and 2012, Gerard Pique conceded after his side smashed out of Euro 2016 to Italy.
Canotte Dallas Mavericks
The 2-0 rout implies that Spain, who likewise asserted their lady World Cup in 2010, have now been humiliated in two back to back real competitions. They were dumped out of the 2014 World Cup as holders after only two gathering matches. "We must be practical, we don't have the same level as when we were world and European champions," said Barcelona protector Pique.

"There are youths getting through that guarantee a ton. There are other people who have years of experience and we need to keep offering that experience and ability. "The level isn't the same. We need to acknowledge it and be basic to get to the World Cup in Russia in great conditions and at a superior level." Notwithstanding, Pique guarded the privilege of mentor Vicente del Bosque to require some serious energy to choose his future in spite of the most recent disappointment. Del Bosque was in control for the competition wins in 2010 and 2012. Be that as it may, the 65-year-old had as of now opposed calls to leave after the World Cup two years prior. "He has won the privilege to choose.

He is a big cheese for football in this nation," included Pique. Del Bosque demanded he will talk with the Spanish Football Federation's leader Angel Maria Villar before settling on his choice.

However, the previous Real Madrid supervisor discredited recommendations it was the end of a time for Spanish football. "It has been and is an incredible time for Spanish football," said Del Bosque. Tainted Be that as it may, an incredible time at club level has taken its toll on the national group.

Pretty much as two years prior before baffling in Brazil, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid contended in the Champions League last days before the competition commenced. Also, Italy ran a joined eight kilometers more than a fatigued Spain in a vivacious presentation.

"I'm not certain it was tiredness since we attempted until the end, however that left them more space on the counter-assault," included Del Bosque. "This has dependably been a specialized group as opposed to a physical group. We came into the opposition fit as a fiddle, however it is difficult to quantify it and illustrate (tiredness)." The feature on the computerized variant of Spanish games day by day Marca dissented, asserting Italy had "finished a brilliant period for Spain and Del Bosque." What's more, Pique conceded Spain could have no dissensions. "At last the best group won.

To win, Spain need to play much superior to the rivals and today it wasn't that way." The two sides will meet again as ahead of schedule as October in fitting the bill for the 2018 World Cup.

Italy manager Antonio Conte guaranteed Spanish football was in "discourteous wellbeing", however trusts the Azzurri will be loaded with certainty they can assert the main programmed qualifying spot. "At the point when the draw was made everybody was stating we would need to qualify by means of the playoff," said Conte, who will assume control at Chelsea toward the end of the competition. "This is a critical win.

I know that the link above is not about Etsy, but it is something dear to my heart. On March 12, FGCU students slept outside with only cardboard boxes and blankets. We made our own shanties to sleep in that night; the purpose of doing this was to experience one night of homelessness. At first it was fun, we had speakers and a pb&j dinner; but in the early morning hours it got really cold and very few of us were able to sleep. This was my third year attending this event, and as vice president of Students Against Hunger and Homelessness, I played a big role in setting it up. It was a lot of work, but well worth it!

Police Officer Nathaniel Broom was shot and killed during a foot pursuit while attempting a traffic stop near the intersection of NW 2nd Avenue and NW 11th Street.
He and his partner were on their way to the radio shop to replace a defective radio when they observed a vehicle travel the wrong way down a one-way street. The vehicle came to a stop and all three suspects jumped out and ran.
Officer Broom stopped his vehicle in a way that prevented his partner from exiting and went in foot pursuit of one of the suspects. As he turned a corner in a building the subject shot him in the chest, killing him instantly. His partner was not able to call for backup due to the faulty radio.
Fingerprints on the car led to the suspect's arrest two days later. He was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to death March 4th, 1982. The subject died in prison in January 2014 while still awaiting execution.
Officer Broom was a U.S. Army veteran and had served with the Miami Police Department for eight months. He is survived by his parents and sister.

Tens of thousands of French workers held street rallies Thursday to oppose President Nicolas Sarkozy's plan to raise the age of retirement, but fell short of matching last year's mass demonstrations.
"The weak turnout shows the government's approach is the correct one," said government spokesman Luc Chatel, declaring that the number of protesters was estimated at half the level of a similar day of protest in March 2009.
Union leaders, while claiming to have met their target of exceeding the number who took part in a similar strike in March this year, admitted their campaign needed to shift up a gear if it is to succeed.
"There will certainly be another stage. We'll decide within the union movement if it should take place at the end of June or start of September, or both," said Francois Chereque, leader of the CFDT union.
"It's a long distance course, not a sprint like the government's strategy. Everything will increase in stages," said Alain Olive of UNSA.
Police estimated turnout in the union rally in Paris at 22,000 -- down from what they said had been 31,000 in March -- while the largest union the CGT said that 90,000 had marched, up from 60,000.
Crowd estimates in other cities were similarly divergent, but labour leaders insisted that in dozens of rallies nationwide they had surpassed the March total, which they had put at 800,000 and police at 350,000.
The size of the demonstrations was clearly smaller than those in the first half of 2009, when the CGT claimed to have brought out more than 2.5 million supporters to denounce Sarkozy's handling of the financial crisis.
Chatel said the numbers were also much smaller than those which greeted the last attempt to reform pensions, and said the government would stay on course.
"The government is not indulging in triumphalism but this mobilisation shows the validity of its method, which is one of listening, of dialogue and of determination to put in place fair and balanced reform," he said.
Public transport was only slightly disrupted, with three quarters of regional trains and all high-speed TGV services running as normal.
If the unions are widely seen to have failed to attract enough support, it will be viewed as a victory for the government, despite polls showing growing opposition to Sarkozy's plan, which ministers only confirmed this week.
In common with much of Europe, France is grappling with a huge public deficit, and the government argues that reforming pension rules and delaying the minimum retirement age will help control mounting debt.
Many of France's neighbours have announced harsh spending cuts but Sarkozy, who has record low poll ratings and faces a re-election fight in two years, has been cautious, refusing to speak of an austerity programme.
Nevertheless, he plans to abolish retirement at 60, a cherished symbol for the French left of its victories under late president Francois Mitterrand.
French retirees receive 85 percent of their pension payments from state schemes, compared to an average of 61 percent among member states of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
Although 60 is the theoretical minimum age for retirement on a full state pension, various special schemes exist in the public sector for those with jobs perceived as tough or those who started in work in their teens.
On average French men retire at 58.7 years and women at 59.5, compared to an OECD average of 63.5 and 62.3. As France has one of the world's longest life expectancies, workers spend on average a quarter century in retirement.
"It's a demographic problem. France is behind Malta as the country where we work the least," Budget Minister Francois Baroin told i-Tele.
Pensions account for the bulk of the social security budget, which can no longer in itself cover regular payments, with the extra being covered by state borrowing, forcing up France's public deficit.
According to the French government's panel studying pension finance, the shortfall between pension contributions and spending was 10.9 billion euros in 2008 and will rise to between 71.6 billion and 114.4 billion by 2050.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. {AP} Beginning on Sunday, with every new handgun sold in Maryland, the manufacturer will have to give state police a spent shell casing carrying the weapon's ballistic fingerprint.
Under the law the first of its kind in the nation the unique markings on the casing will then be entered into a database. When detectives find a bullet casing at a crime scene, they can go to the computer and instantly identify the gun it came from.
"Countless hours of investigative work can now be eliminated from the process of identifying the crime gun and who may have been in possession of it," State Police Superintendent David Mitchell said.
A similar New York state law takes effect March 1.
Five months after the Maryland law was signed, questions remain about its effectiveness.
There are no criminal penalties for noncompliance by manufacturers, and state police have told dealers they can continue selling guns even if manufacturers do not pack shell casings with the weapons.
State Police spokesman Maj. Greg Shipley said manufacturers have been told it is their responsibility to make sure guns sold in Maryland are accompanied by a casing.
Gun owner Jim Purtillo of Silver Spring questioned the value of the law. "It's about making it harder for people to buy guns," he said. "Bad guys typically don't leave shell casings from a revolver at a crime scene."
The National Rifle Association did not return several calls for comment.
Maryland gun dealers have worried that manufacturers or distributors may stop shipping guns into the state. But at least two major manufacturers are making efforts to comply: Smith & Wesson, the nation's largest maker of handguns, and Beretta USA.
Beretta USA said it will pack shell casings with handguns it knows will be sold in Maryland, but warned that its distributors are scattered throughout the country and guns sent elsewhere could wind up back here.
"If we get an order from Florida, we don't have any way of knowing that gun is going to Maryland. It will not include the shell casing," Beretta spokesman Jeff Reh said.
Neither company could say whether its gun prices will increase as a result.
Sanford Abrams, vice president of the Maryland Licensed Gun Dealers Association, said the ballistics fingerprints may have little legal value because a shell casing will travel through so many hands from the manufacturer to state police.
"The chain of custody stinks," he said.
The requirement is part of sweeping new gun legislation in Maryland. Sunday also is the effective date for laws prohibiting handguns from being sold without an external trigger lock and barring anyone under 30 with a juvenile record for violent crimes from buying a handgun.
Beginning in 2002, Maryland residents also will have to complete a state-approved gun safety course before buying a weapon, and the following year, all handguns sold will have to be equipped with built-in locks.

Ferrari Launches F430
With a body styled by the legendary Italian design house, Pininfarina, the new F430 is the latest addition to the Ferrari lineup. The $160,000 two-seater will replace the aging 360 Modena when it reaches U.S. showrooms later next year. The heart of the new coupe is an aluminum 4.3-liter V-8 making 490 horsepower through a Formula One-style gearbox, an electronically shifted manual with paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. The system can shift gears in just 150 milliseconds. There's enough power to launch the F430 from 0-60 in 4.0 seconds, and the car tops out at just under 200 mph. The F430 makes good use of Ferrari's racing knowledge, with its electronically controlled differential and carbon-ceramic brakes. There's also a system, called Marinetto, which allows the driver to adjust suspension settings without taking hands off the steering wheel.

Workers Say Yes, But More Needed at PAG
Workers at Solihull, the British plant producing Ford's Land Rover products, voted nearly two-to-one in favor of a new cost-cutting contract on Friday. The so-called "Road Map" should improve everything from operating policies to the work culture of the plant, according to Mark Fields, CEO of Ford's Premier Automotive Group. "Generally," said Fields, "there will be more flexibility in the plant, which was very important to the plan." His goal is to achieve steady double-digit increases in productivity at Solihull for at least the three-year life of the contract. Even with the good news out of the Land Rover plant, Ford officials remain concerned about the health of the PAG. In the most recent reporting period, the luxury group lost $342 million, about a third of that because of the weakening dollar. The U.S. is PAG's largest single market. The situation varies by brand, with Jaguar clearly the most troubled of the group's marques. Earlier this month, it was decided to close the Brown's Lane assembly plant in Coventry, the "spiritual home" of Jaguar. There are many advocates within Ford who want to see at least some PAG production moved to the U.S., but "right now we have no plans" to do that, insisted Fields. He quickly added, "In the medium to longer-term, I rule nothing out." Despite recent setbacks, "we are still comfortable with the target" outlined in Ford's turnaround plan, which would have PAG generate as much as $1.3 billion in profits by 2006, asserted Fields. That won't give the subsidiary much time to get its automotive act together. There have been rumors that Fields might be recalled to the U.S., though he insisted to TheCarConnection that, "I'm in Europe and I'm here to stay."
Hubbert Wants To Finish Up
He's known to many as "Dr. Mercedes," and to many, it's becoming difficult to separate Juergen Hubbert from the high-line brand that he has closely guided for the past fifteen years. But at the end of the year, Hubbert retires, handing over the reigns of DaimlerChrysler's flagship brand to Eckhard Cordes. It's a challenging period for such a major change.
While Mercedes sales continue setting new records, the brand has seen its quality reputation tarnished as it slips in studies like the oft-quoted J.D. Power Customer Satisfaction Index. "Even if we have had a few bad years," asserted Hubbert during an interview with TheCarConnection, "we have a solid and good basis" going forward. The problems "didn't just happen in the last year," he said, and they won't be resolved overnight. But the dapper executive is convinced that the worst issues have been resolved, particularly with the faulty electronic systems that caused the majority of Mercedes' quality concerns.
