They published an article with photos about the concerts Celine gave on past July 29 and 30 at the Vieux Port in Quebec City, to celebrate the 450th anniversary of the discovery of Canada by Jacques Cartier.
In early August 1984 Celine Dion took little vacations of just two days in Quebec City in Canada where she dedicated to rest after the concerts she gave on past July 29 and 30 at the Vieux Port in Quebec City, to celebrate the 450th anniversary of the discovery of Canada by Jacques Cartier. Celine was accompanied by her parents Adhémar and Thérèse as well as with some friends and her manager, Rene Angelil. French songwriter Eddy Marnay also was there. He suprised Celine when he came from france to attend the concerts she gave at the Vieux Port in Quebec City. Celine visited Maison Serge Bruyère (the restaurant of Serge Bruyère) and there she was photographed with Rene Angelil, her wife Anne-Renée, Gilles Petard (from Pathé Marconi), François Reny, Marc Chatelle, Serge Bruyère and Diane Rény (François´ wife). Some photos from the vacations were published by the magazine "Echos Vedettes" on August 12, 1984.
On August 22, 1984 Celine Dion launched the new album titled "Mélanie", at a launching event wich took place at the Le Portage room in the Place Bonaventure Hotel in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Trade remedies are by their very nature complex and most often ill-thought-out. This is said not so much from an entity whom gains to benefit from such an incentive scheme but more from an administrative and compliance perspective. These schemes require more than your average customs and trade consultant; someone who in fact not only knows customs and trade law very well, but the motor industry as well. Similarly, on the side of the administrating authority an equally adept and experienced team is required to audit this process. I would like to believe that every attempt has been made to ensure that clear legal and procedural guidelines are in the offing, compared to the current MIDP process. On the other side of the coin, exactly how will the local community benefit from the 'auto cartel's' new fortune? Based on SARS recent publication of its Compliance Programme it is noted that the tobacco and textile industries are singled out for scrutiny. Has the motor industry been purposely overlooked?
The SA motor industry stands to benefit from the introduction of a new programme next year, which will affect firm-level strategies, according to Standard Bank research analyst, Shireen Darmalingam. The Automotive Production Development Programme (APDP) aims to raise volumes to 1.2 million vehicles produced per annum by 2020, and to diversify and deepen the components supply chain. The new programme replaces the Motor Industry Development Programme (MIDP), which has been in existence since 1995. The soon-to-be phased out programme centred, among other things, on encouraging motor vehicle and component exports by allowing duty-free imports or reduced import tariffs, depending on the level of local content of exports.
Darmalingam said the replacement of the MIDP should not be viewed as a failure but rather as a point from which to move on and encourage further development of the SA motor industry. She said the APDP would offer the local automotive industry a sense of certainty through to 2020, which should encourage further growth.
"Whether the APDP will benefit certain industries more than others is still a contested question. Indeed, it appears that some benefits may be in favour of larger firms. Nonetheless, all firms are in line to benefit from the new APDP programme." She said there was a concern that multinational companies were choosing to source leather products from suppliers closer to the major markets. She added that there was a further concern that the APDP, which aimed to provide a production incentive rather than an export incentive, might impact negatively on export-orientated component companies such as those in the leather sector.
However, she said sectors that supplied the aftermarket should benefit from the shift in policy, from MIDP to APDP, due to be implemented from January next year. Source: Business Live

Motion Capture
These videos show our ongoing research collaboration with the CIRMMT using the Qualisys motion capture system.
First video shows a recording session (Michel Savail playing Saudade N.3 of R. Dyens). Second video shows the model obtained after processing a recording data (Michel Savail playing Leo Brouwer).
Hexaphonic Audio Analysis
These videos show the real-time capabilities of our analysis library using two different approaches. In the first video the library is used in OpenFrameworks whereas the second video shows its usage as a VST plugin. Both videos show a real-time music analysis of the same guitar recording (Josep Soto playing Bach). The left channel playing the original recording and the right channel plays the detected notes.
Artistic Experiment
The Master Student of the Pompeu Fabra University Heber Manuel Pérez Torres exploring artistic capabilities of the guitar prototype.
Recording Session
This video shows a recording session at ESMUC studio recording with our prototype (an array of capacitive sensors mounted on the fretboard of the guitar). Benjamí Abad is playing Blue Bossa.
Gesture detection
This video shows a real-time finger position detection using capacitive sensors described here. Each digit corresponds to the number of fingers pressing at the same fret. These positions can be played in different hand positions and in different strings. 6 refers to bar activation, 1 refers to 1 finger activation at any string, 2 refers to 2 finger activation at the same fret at any strings, and 3 refers to 3 finger activation at the same fret at any strings. Yellow bars and digits correspond to the detected position using a K-NN algorithm.
See "Analyzing left hand fingering in guitar playing" paper in Publications page.
Articulation detection
This video demonstrates our expressive articulation detection model. As seen on the video our algorithm works with audio input. For both F0 and onset detection we are using Aubio library. For each expressive articulation model, we use 40 different extracted expressive articulation. After that, we compare each articulation properties (right side) with the constructed models and classify the type of the expressive articulation. This comparison was demonstrated in the Model section (lower left) of the video. The Matlab demo will be available soon.
See "Legato and Glissando identification in Classical Guitar" paper in Publications page.
Kopèrnic - Interview for TV
This video shows an excerpt of an interview recorded for a local TV in Barcelona. Here, we explain the main goals of this research and show the prototype we used for our initial experiments. It is in catalan.
Image-based analysis of Gestures
This video shows the preliminary results of our research on using computer vision techniques to analyze performers gestures and fingering. We are using openCV and OpenFrameworks.

Steam Carpet Cleaning
Carpet is a unique, convenient and aesthetically correct invention in the world of floor coverings. Countless colors, sizes of nap and composition of materials allows you to choose a carpet for any interior and room - whether it is a children's room, bedroom or office space. However, there are also negative aspects: the carpet is dirty, not only from the outside, but also in the depth of the fibers, which makes the cleaning process more complicated. It is not enough to make daily cleaning with a simple vacuum cleaner - dust and dirt are removed only from the outside, inside they continue to accumulate and poison the air in the room, they have pathogenic microorganisms.
The most ideal option is the use of a specialized vacuum cleaner at least once in one or two weeks, with which cleaning the carpet becomes a pleasant and carefree occupation. However, not every family can afford such expensive equipment. And once on every 3-6 months the carpet should be cleaned with steam carpet cleaning procedure, performed by professional carpet cleaners. This procedure not only refreshes the colors of the carpet, removes dirt and dust, but also eliminates the various bacteria and microbes that accumulate in the depth of the nap.
Carpet cleaning should be done with specialized equipment and special chemicals. They not only remove dust and dirt, but also easily cope with stubborn stains that do not lend themselves to conventional home remedies, such as stains from paint, varnishes, berries, sauces and so on.
Prolux offers very favorable conditions for its customers in Ilford. You can conclude a contract for long-term maintenance with a large discount, and then your carpeting will never fade, and will delight you every day. It should be remembered that timely deep cleaning of carpets - a guarantee of your safety, cleanliness and harmony of your home.
But what actually represents steam carpet cleaning Ilford IG1? This is a procedure which starts with an inspection of your carpeted flooring. At that moment, our experts decide what method is best to use in order to protect the carpet. After that they use powerful vacuum cleaners to collect the surface dirt. The next stage of the process is treatment of stains and spots. After this is done, powerful hot water extraction machine is used to remove the dirt, kill bacteria and allergens and revive the carpet's colors. Finally, if there are any remaining spots, they are treated again. You need to wait a few hours until the carpet is fully dry and ready to use!
Dry Carpet Cleaning Ilford
Dry cleaning of carpets is a serious undertaking. And like every serious matter, it requires for its performance the acquisition of special skills and knowledge. Therefore, it is unlikely to manage independently. There are specialists for whom carpet cleaning at home is their functional duties.
After all, in order to extend the period of using carpets, they need to be taken care of in a timely and proper manner. Dry cleaning of carpets should be performed at least twice a year.
What is such a cleaning? First of all, spots are being processed. It is clear that no matter how hard the person tried, it happens to spill accidentally coffee, or wine on it. There may be traces from a ballpoint pen, or felt-tip pens, and even bottled milk, will necessarily leave a visible mark on the carpet. Each spot should have an individual approach. Therefore, when choosing a stain remover, Prolux specialists take into account the nature of the contamination and, of course, the characteristics of the carpet fabric. A competent specialist begins his work with studying the composition of a carpet product. Of course, the incompatibility of cleaning products with carpet materials is very rare. But it is not excluded. Therefore, in order to prevent discoloration, a test is necessary. Many agree that dry cleaning of carpets and area rugs is a matter of professionals, because how many can be "broken down" if you take the work yourself.
After each spot is treated separately, special chemical solutions are used.
The next stage is basic: mechanical cleaning. And, as a summary of the work, the final stage is removing dirt and chemical residues.
What is important about dry carpet cleaning Ilford is that the carpet is ready to use immediately after the procedure. It is completely dry so you are saving a few hours. Dry cleaning procedure is usually used in offices, public buildings and other premises with high traffic of people. It is also recommended for carpets that should not be wet, for instance wool carpets.

Abuja host WHO global policy group
The Nigerian government has played host to the World Health Organization, WHO, Global Policy Group, GPG, meeting in Abuja.
Our correspondent learnt that the meeting was first of its kind in Nigeria as membership was drawn from Director-General, Deputy Director-General, six Regional Directors and the Executive Director of the WHO Emergencies Programme.
The group is an internal advisory mechanism to the GN established to ensure the coherent implementation of decisions, policies and strategies of WHO across all levels of the organisation.
Speaking at the event, Minister of Health, Professor Isaac Adewole, said, "Nigeria is honored to host the Director General and Regional Directors of WHO at this auspicious time", noting that the presence of WHO's top decision makers offer opportunity for Nigeria to strengthen collaboration with the WHO.
During the visit, the WHO Director General, Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, and Regional Directors will pay a courtesy call on President Muhammadu Buhari to congratulate him on the laudable efforts to improve the health and well-being of Nigerians, and the commendable aspiration of reaching over 100 million Nigerians with basic minimum package of primary healthcare services.
Tedros also carried out a full programme of activities including field visits to relevant health agencies such as Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, Revitalized Model Primary Health Centre, PHC, at Kuchingoro, Abuja and he also holds discussions with high-ranking government officials and key stakeholders.
The discussions which focus on WHO technical support to strengthen the country's health system was aimed at achieving the health related Sustainable Development Goals within the context of revitalization of PHCs for universal health coverage and humanitarian response in North east of Nigeria.
Our correspondent gathered that the WHO Director General will also launch the implementation to eliminate yellow fever epidemic strategy in Africa.

This editorial from the March issue of Vogue Russia stopped me in my track last night. Isn't it lovely? It's hard to focus on the clothing when the interiors are so gorgeous..and historic. Shot in the recently refurbished and restored Romanov Palaces of St. Petersburg — Jason Schmidt was given the coveted exclusive of being the first to photograph these elaborate parquet floors, giltwood moldings and opulent wallpapers in over 100 years.

My life as a child was a wonderful life. But it was also turbulent. Full of fun and loving times in Europe, my home. I remember my friend Anna who knew four different languages. Then our maid Berta. My friends next door. The smells of good food. Goulash was my favorite. It was fun until the invasion of Hungary.
I never forget the night of the invasion. And all the women and children in our base were gathered for a meeting. Instructing us how to evacuate and where to go. Pictures was taken of us. Always ready with our suitcase to flee during the night. And even with this fear we all had a good childhood. A childhood of love. Of friendship. All looking out for each other.
I love my life in Europe.
These are pictures of me and my family.
It shows that no matter what material items you may have family and friends are the most important thing in life.

What is a Serum?
Deciding to use a serum can depend on various factors including skin type, age or degree of damage. They are able to effectively absorb onto the skin, delivering active ingredients for maximum benefit. Depending on ingredients, serums contain anti-aging properties that help to firm, tighten, provide anti-oxidants, re-texturize, or address the signs of aging. If you decide to use a serum with your moisturizer, select one with the ingredients or benefits associated with the concerns you wish to address.
Daily Skin Care Regimen
Begin with a very mild soap, possibly cream based. Since skin can be acidic, the alkaline in soap can easily disturb the delicate pH balance. Also, make sure the soap does not contain harsh chemicals which will also remove the acid mantel and cause further dryness. Choose a toner that soothes and nourishes your skin. It should refresh with a hint of moisture - a low or no alcohol formulation is recommended to prevent over drying the skin.
A daily moisturizing routine is essential to aging skin. After washing skin, pat it dry and begin with a serum to enhance moisture, then apply a day moisturizer. Try to use a day cream with an SPF An evening ritual can include a serum application and a heavier moisturizer. Eye creams and serums are recommended for the delicate area around the eyes that are subject to fine lines and wrinkles.
Weekly Skin Care Routine
Use an extremely mild exfoliator in order to expose fresh skin and allow products to absorb. This will maximize the effectiveness of your skin care products. A moisture-enhancing mask that you put on and wipe off will moisturize and plump skin that may be dry and dehydrated.

It can be tricky to know what is needed for home maintenance projects around the home. You need to know about tools, materials, techniques, safety procedures and regulations before you get started. In the following paragraphs, you'll find tips that will help make home improvement a little simpler.
Go with real floors over laminate if you have the money. Although laminate looks like the real thing, you can refinish it. Years from now, whoever owns the house will need a brand new floor.
Think about adding a microwave above your range if you have limited kitchen counter space. When you replace a range hood with this type of microwave, you enjoy features like a flexible price range and even convection cooking options. Most of these have a filter that recirculates air as opposed to having a vent. This means they are better for people who do not need a vent.
New floors can update your home. Reputable flooring companies install hardwood, carpet or tile flooring just in one day. Remember to visit a regular home improvement store to know your options.
For a simple, low-cost way to improve your bathroom's appearance, install new, coordinating metal fixtures. It is possible to find a wide range of shower curtain rods, cabinetry pulls and towel racks to suit almost any taste. It is common for home improvement outlets to carry such items in groups in order to facilitate simple installation.
If you're hiring a professional to improve your house, it is vital that you keep records. You cannot leave this responsibility up to the contractor. Keep all of the paperwork related to your project in a safe place. This file can help you and the contractor remain on task.
It's important to maintain your home, but knowing how to maintain it is more important. This will ensure you understand what you need to get the most out of your projects. Following the above tips is a very good starting place.

Weather: dry, overcast, chilly
We have a lot more people today, as well as two new starters (Julie & John). We need to make good progress as tomorrow's forecast is bad and the trenches at 107 & 109 are only about 20 cm deep, while medieval finds were made in June at a depth of about 40 cm.
At 111, the material dumped during the 1990s, (13), came down onto a thin buried topsoil, (14), which overlies an earlier dumped layer, (15). At the interface, there was a 1956 sixpence.
At 109, the homogenous soil deposit removed in 5 cm spits has given way to a more chalky layer. This has surprised me, as the homogenous layer looked very similar to the material in Trench I at 111 that contained only medieval finds. In the south-eastern corner, there is a distinct patch of burnt clay that may be the base of a bonfire.
At 107, they are still dealing with rubbly material, although there seems to be a change at the bottom. There is still rubble in this, but it's possible that it has been compressed in from above. On the other hand, there is as much rubble as in the overlying deposit, so it may be part of the same dump.
At 111, (15) has turned out to be about 20 cm thick & to overlie a yellowish clay with little in it. I think it's safe to abandon the trench.
After lunch, Chris & team backfilled, having first located the trench with reference to the garden shed. It looks as if this end of the garden has been used to dump unwanted soil for half a century or more.
The apparent change of deposit at 107 turned out to be a false alarm. Instead, there is a very rubbly deposit, consisting of a great deal of chalk with some quite large pieces of brick, still of evidently twentieth-century date. As it comes out, though, the brick is clearly not of nineteenth- or twentieth-century date, but is seventeenth- or eighteenth-century.
And that was it. Superficially disappointing results in all three trenches, but they still tell us several things. Firstly, that at the back of 111, there has been too much dumping of material during the twentieth century to make searching for Roman material worthwhile. Instead, we need to maintain a watching brief during construction work at Cade Close, which is due to take place early in 2009. Secondly, the lack of medieval material at 109 suggests that the original discovery at 111 and the material found during the test pitting of earlier this year marks a genuine concentration of medieval material that corresponds to the location of more intense activity. Thirdly, the discovery of apparently eighteenth-century bricks at 107 must be connected with works associated with what is now known as Manor Farm ar 105 Norton Road. In other words, we've actually got a lot of information, which is what the pits were intended to do: archaeology is absolutely not treasure hunting for spectacular finds!

Community Detection in Random Networks

Abstract : We formalize the problem of detecting a community in a network into testing whether in a given random graph there is a subgraph that is unusually dense. We observe an undirected and unweighted graph on N nodes. Under the null hypothesis, the graph is a realization of an Erdös-Rényi graph with probability p0. Under the composite alternative, there is a subgraph of n nodes where the probability of connection is p1 > p0. We derive a detection lower bound for detecting such a subgraph in terms of N, n, p0, p1 and exhibit a test that achieves that lower bound. We do this both when p0 is known and unknown. We also consider the problem of testing in polynomial-time. As an aside, we consider the problem of detecting a clique, which is intimately related to the planted clique problem. Our focus in this paper is in the quasi-normal regime where n p0 is either bounded away from zero, or tends to zero slowly.

Here is my final Halloween craft round-up, in case you have any time to fit in any more craft projects before Sunday. These are all projects that you can make with or for your kids.
My all time favorite Halloween craft project this year is this glowing Trick-Or-Treat bag from Holidash. Not only does it look cool and glow sticks light up the inside of the bag for your kids, plus it provides a wonderful safety feature in that the glowing bag will make your kids that much more visible to motorists.
Meanwhile, Pink and Green Mama made this cute and simple Halloween game that everyone can play. It is kind of like Cooties, but the better older version of Cooties. The game is not only simple to play, but simple to make also.
This year, I have personally enjoyed a lot of the jack-o-lantern alternatives that I have seen, such as painting pumpkins black or silver, making silhouettes with pumpkins, etc. This alternative is my favorite for the season. Painted gourds! They look like ghosts and there is no carving involved!
Here is a simple project that kids and adults can enjoy – ghost finger puppets that are made from simple molds of your fingers. What better way to personalize a decoration! You can make new ones each year to document how your kids hands grow over the years.
Counting Coconuts has directions to make these adorable little yarn pumpkins. She put them in her October sensory tub. Since I am new to the whole Montessori thing, I've never done a sensory tub before, but am planning to start with a Thanksgiving sensory tub and hope to make some of these for it.
This project is a big one, but can be a work in progress that happens over multiple years. Melissa at Veranda Interiors converted a doll house into a haunted house! Is that a cool idea or what?!?! It's a bit late for us to tackle this one this year, but hopefully next year we can try it. It seems like it would make a wonderful family keepsake to pass down through the generations.
Finally, Martha Stewart has directions for making a bat piñata. Really, what better time to have a decoration full of candy than Halloween, when kids are already getting loaded up on lots of sugar? (okay, that was sarcasm) Seriously, though, this piñata is pretty darn cool looking and making piñatas is lots of fun for kids, as is breaking piñatas. So maybe fill it with sugar-free gum, stickers, and toys instead?

The UFC machine keeps moving this weekend with UFC on Versus 5 and both headliners, Dan Hardy and Chris Lytle, stop by MMAWeekly Radio for Monday's edition of the show.
Both Hardy and Lytle discuss the importance of this fight and how they need a win.
Hardy, who readily admits he's a fan of Lytle and doesn't have any reason to trash talk his opponent does muster up his best attempt by jabbing at the Indiana native, who now has political aspirations.
"I'm going to knock the Republican out of him," Hardy said with a laugh.
Also, UFC 133 goes under the microscope, as well as discussion about the Fonzie statue in Milwaukee. All this and more for MMAWeekly Radio on Monday.

Square Wave Oscillator Circuits
|Page 2
The telephone ring generator shown below generates the needed high voltage from a simple switching mode power supply (SMPS) which employs a CMOS Schmitt Trigger square wave oscillator, 10 mH inductor, high voltage switching transistor (TIP47 or other high voltage, 1 amp transistor) and a driver transistor (2N3053). The inductor should have a low... .This circuit was designed to obtain a valve-like distorted sound from an electric guitar or other musical instrument. For this purpose a very high gain, three-FET amplifier circuit, was used. The output square wave shows marked rounded corners, typical of valve-circuits when driven into saturation. .The generators of square pulses, are used in a lot of applications, between which the adjustment of conditions of entry in the digital circuits and the control of amplifiers acoustic frequencies. This circuit is a generator that it produces, in combination with a other generator, sine wave frequencies or square pulses, continuous or interrupted... .This circuit will divide the frequency of a TTL compatible square wave signal by a factor from 0 to 999.

Fort Bonifacio or the "THE FORT" is the newest urban development site located in Taguig City, Metro Manila, Philippines. A 25.78 square kilometre property acquired by the United States Government during the American Colonial Period, then known as Fort McKinley which was turned over to the Philippine Government and renamed Fort Bonifacio on May 14, 1949. Fort Bonifacio also known as Kuta Bonifacio in the local dialect is the home and headquarters for the Philippine Army and its units.
Part of Fort Bonifacio Army Reservation is the Bonifacio Global City which in 1992, was turned over to Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA) and in 1995, Bonifacio Land Corporation, a consortium led by Metro Pacific, won the bidding to become BCDA's partner in the development of a major part of Fort Bonifacio. In 2003, Ayala Land, Inc. and Evergreen Holdings, Inc. of the Campos Group purchased from Metro Pacific a controlling stake in BLC and is now BCDA's partner in Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation (FBDC) which spearheads the master-planning of the Bonifacio Global City.
New developments continue to rise at Fort Bonifacio, home to upscale residential condominiums such as Essensa, Pacific Plaza and Regent Parkway and office buildings such as Net One and Bonifacio Technology Center. Three more residential buildings, Bonifacio Ridge, One McKinley Place and Penhurst Parkplace, have been completed, while , Serendra, Fairways Tower, Forbes Town, Fifth Avenue Place and The Icon Towers have begun construction.
One thing Fort Bonifacio Global City can boast of is the number of schools located in it. The prestigious International School Manila, British School Manila and Manila Japanese School were among the City's early locators. Joining them are Summit School, Victory Leadership Institute and Manila Gospel. Many fine dining bars and restaurants, exclusive clubs, fast food outlets, commercial and retail shops have opened at The Fort Square where MTV Philippines and NBC Tent are also located. There is Bonifacio Stop-over and the Car Plaza for the motorists. All these are complemented by a major retail mall: Ayala Land's Market! Market!
A much anticipated development are the St. Luke's Medical Center and the Taguig Coliseum and Convention Center.
St. Luke's Medical Center will include a 16-storey hospital building with 600 patient beds and an 11-storey medical arts building with 366 doctor's offices. The hospital will offer the most advanced medical technology administered by a highly trained staff.
Taguig Coliseum and Convention Center will soon to rise on a commercial site of 35,000 square metres beside Market! Market!, to be built by Northshore Holdings, Inc. and the current Taguig City administration. The place will also have a hotel, office building, service apartments, shopping center and food court.
LOCATION..LOCATION..LOCATION..Bonifacio Global City� has an area of approximately 240 hectares, conveniently located in the forward looking city of Taguig, between the business hubs of Makati and Ortigas Center. It is also Manila's gateway to the world, barely minutes from Ninoy Aquino International Airport.The district now boasts of a new masterplan that involved a major redesign of the amenities and features of its 36-hectare City Center to make the entire area more efficient and attuned to a new standard of urban living.Here technology meets aesthetics. Transportation, communication, estate services and security are delivered reliably and seamlessly, leaving residents and visitors alike to do what they do best.Bonifacio Global City� was designed with no less than seven entry points from almost any direction:
* Kalayaan Avenue (North) * Kalayaan Flyover (West access via EDSA and Makati) * McKinley Road (West access from Makati CBD) * Three gates from C5 Highway (East access) * From the Airport through Villamor Air Base (South access).
Mobility within the new Global City is likewise ensured via managed public transport system an efficient and pedestrian-friendly road network and more-than-ample parking provisions.Transit stops are strategically located no more than a ten-minute walk to the City Center. Bus shuttle services provide direct links between the Bonifacio Global City� and Metro Manila�s Light Rail Transit system.
The new city center masterplan carefully considers traffic and circulation, diversity of land use, regional linkage, marketability of property and a unique sense of place. It enhances the business center of tomorrow to operate seamlessly. Infrastructure has been put in place to provide the most demanding residents with 21st century comfort and convenience.
The BONIFACIO GLOBAL CITY (BGC) Center forms the physical core of the BGC. Based on the ongoing construction, Bonifacio Development Corporation (BDC) is prioritizing the development of the retail promenade which will be composed of several retail outlets/shops, surrounded by landscaped areas.As per BGC's Masterplan, "the City Center forms the physical core of the Bonifacio Global City, and is essentially designed as a three-by-three matrix of high-tech offices and residential buildings, bustling retail outlets and pedestrian-friendly roads and walkways. The grid approach ensures a city center that is easy to navigate." A portion of the Retail Promenade is expected to be opened at the end of the year 2007.

Why you should invest in the Bonifacio Global City?
9 Reasons on why BGC is the best location for your condo investment... The growth in the Philippine real estate industry is very bullish! At the Bonifacio Global City alone, you can feel the good vibes for the industry!
I have compiled here several news articles from major Philippine broadsheets (ie, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Philippine Star, Manila Bulletin, Business World, Business Mirror) regarding the ongoing and future developments at Bonifacio Global City (BGC/aka Fort Bonifacio.)
All these reinforces the idea that Bonifacio Global City (BGC) is the best location for your condominium investment!
1. The construction of the St. Luke�s Hospital is full-blast. Based on news reports, St. Luke�s Hospital will be finished by 2009. Fort Boni Consultancy (FBC) Comment: Admittedly, this is a relief - construction of the hospital was delayed for more than a year! The presence of a first-class hospital at Bonifacio Global City will further strengthen its bid as a new Central Business District (CBD) in the Philippines.
2. The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) said that its board has authorized the management to enter into a memorandum of understanding with two property developers for a joint development of the bourse's headquarters in Fort Bonifacio in Taguig City. Actually, a 2,182 sqm lot has already been donated by the Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation to the PSE. However, they can swap this lot for office spaces which will be equivalent in value that Ayala Land will construct at the BGC area. FBC Comment: Good news indeed! Currently, the PSE has 2 trading floors, one in Ortigas Centre (ie, Philippine Stock Exchange Centre, formerly called Tektite Towers) and another one at the Makati Central Business District (ie, Ayala Tower One at Ayala Avenue). The presence of a unified trading floor will really make Bonifacio Global City (BGC) a true-blue Central Business District. Ayala Land may construct an office tower at BGC equivalent to the Ayala Tower One at Makati City and turn over the "x" square meters of office space to this unified exchange. I've heard that this might happen in 2010. It's about time!!!! Let's see!
3. The Ascot Group of Singapore, the hotel group which purchased the former Oakwood Premier Hotel (at $ 54 Million) located at the Ayala Center, Makati City, is considering the Bonifacio Global City as one of the locations of their hotel operations. No specific details were provided. FBC Comment: At the moment, there's no hotel at the BGC. I'm really looking forward to this new development!
4. SHIMAO Group, a developer owned by China's fifth-richest man, Xu Rongmao, will put up a hotel at Fort Bonifacio. Shimao International Holdings Ltd Chairman Hui Wing Mau has signed an agreement to lease at least one Manila property from state-controlled Bases Conversion Development Authority, Trade Secretary Favila said. The property, which covers at least seven hectares, is in Manila's Fort Bonifacio district, Favila said, declining to provide more details.FBC Comment: Good news! Just imagine how many jobs this can provide! I believe that aside from the Ascot and Shimao Groups, there are also other hotel groups which are "silently" exploring the BGC area.
5. American business process outsourcing provider PeopleSupport Philippines, Inc. has acquired a 2,700-square meter lot in Taguig from the Fort Bonifacio Development Corp. (FBDC) as part of its plan to expand its operations in the country. Company President Rainiero Borja said the property will house a 25-storey call center building. PeopleSupport expects to break ground this year, Mr. Borja said. FBC Comment: The Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry in the Philippines is indeed growing. Honestly, the current supply of office space is not enough to meet the needs of this industry. Most office buildings now at the BGC are occupied by these BPO companies.
6. Singaporean company invests P2b for IT building Singaporean real estate developer Ascendas and the Net group, a consortium led by the Rufino Group, are infusing P2 billion to construct a new office building designed for business process outsourcing companies and call centers at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. Ascendas president and chief executive Chong Siak Ching said the construction of the 36,000-square meter Net Quad, the fourth in the series of boutique Net buildings, was in response to the growing demand for high-quality business space in the Philippines amid a boom in call center and BPO sector. Carlos Rufino, president of the Net Group, said the Net Quad building had been 100 percent leased out even before its groundbreaking ceremony yesterday attended by Singaporean President Sellapan Rama Nathan. FBC Comment: This group has practically dominated the construction of office buildings at the BGC. There's Net One, Net Square, Net Cube (under construction and will be finished this 2007) and the latest is Net Quad. According to some insiders, this group will be constructing buildings up to Net 8!!!!
7. Federal Land to complete master plan for northern part of Fort Bonifacio Federal Land, Inc. tapped global design firm Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, Inc. (HOK) International Ltd. to complete a master plan to develop the northern part of the Bonifacio Global City in Fort Bonifacio. In a statement, Federal Land President Alfred Ty said the master plan covering 25 hectares in North Bonifacio is expected to be completed in 15 weeks. It will consist of a 10.4-hectare property owned by the country�s largest lender Metropolitan Bank & Trust Company (Metrobank) and two lots totaling 15.3 hectares of state-owned Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA). FBC Comment: I heard that Federal Land will be putting up an office building targetting the BPO industry.
8. Science museum to rise on former military base THE AYALA Group will be putting up a science museum at the Bonifacio Global City, to bring to it a measure of art and culture. Officials said during the launch of Bonifacio High Street late last week that the science museum, which is still in the early planning stages, will be located across the group's upscale Bonifacio High Street development--a kilometer-long strip of chic shops and restaurants a stone's throw away from The Fort and Market! Market! FBC Comment: This will be really cool! On the other hand, I'm also looking forward to an Art Museum at BGC - something similar to the Metropolitan Museum of Art at Manhattan!
9. 3 Developers keen on Big Delta property in BGC THE THREE GROUPS ARE TARGETING PRIME LOTS FOR BIG COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THREE international developers have expressed interest in the 1.2-hectare Big Delta property inside the Bonifacio Global City (BGC) which the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) did not manage to dispose last year due to a failed bidding. Aileen Zosa, vice president for business development of the BCDA, refused to reveal the names of the three firms, although she said these groups are targeting the prime lots for grand commercial development. One of these firms, she said, is planning to build a six-star hotel there. The Big Delta property, located inside the BGC�s City Center, is being offered for lease or joint venture development with the BCDA, she said. FBC Comment: Looking forward to this "grand commercial development" at Big Delta! Bonifacio Global City (BGC) is poised to be the next Central Business District (CBD); it is a master-planned CBD and based on these new developments, condo buyers and investors will defintely benefit in the property value appreciation at BGC.
Hands down, Bonifacio Global City (BGC) is the BEST CHOICE for your property investment! FILIPINO, LET�S HELP OUR COUNTRY MOVE FORWARD!
A community is not complete without medical, educational and other support facilities. One thing Bonifacio Global City� can boast of is the number of schools located in it. The prestigious International School Manila, British School Manila and Manila Japanese School were among the City's early locators. Joining them are Summit School, Victory Leadership Institute and Manila Gospel. Several other schools are also leasing space at existing buildings.
A much anticipated development is the St. Luke's Medical Center. The complex will include a 16-storey hospital building with 600 patient beds and an 11-storey medical arts building with 366 doctor's offices. The hospital will offer the most advanced medical technology administered by a highly trained staff. As Bonifacio Global City� grows, other support services are expected to be made available. These will contribute to a self-sufficient and fully-integrated community.

Give no diabetes risk
Do you find it difficult to get rid of your obesity? You can hardly resist sweets? Are you ever afraid that you ever have to deal with type 2 diabetes?
I recommend you read this article certainly.
If you choose now to start losing weight, there is good news for you. With weight loss because you reduce the risk of diabetes significantly.
Further you can read all about the program that I have developed specifically for this, but let us first see how it is with the relationship between sugar and diabetes 2.
Sugar and type 2 diabetes
You probably already heard from your childhood that sugar is bad for your teeth and sweets leads to obesity. So of course try to avoid all sugar as much as possible.
For example, you do not have sugar in the coffee, or choose a seemingly healthy granola bar instead of a cookie. But unfortunately that's not enough.
We all know that a lot of sugar in cake, candy and soda. But did you know that almost all the ready-made food, ready-made meals and all the food from bags and packs are full of added sugars?
Even products that say they are good for you as healthy yoghurt drinks and snack bars, is a lot of sugar.
So we all get unnoticed in more sugar than we think and much more than is good for us. Average as many as 20 sugar per day, without you knowing.
Sugar is even one of the biggest drivers of obesity. And the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes increases significantly if you eat too much sugar.
Because of this, no less than one million Dutch type 2 diabetes, there are 200 people daily.
Want to know more about the effects of sugar on your health? Then I recommend the article " 6 reasons to eat less sugar 'and' The truth about sugar and diabetes to read.
Reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes
Much sugar and so many people with type 2 diabetes; I am concerned about these numbers.
Therefore I have developed a new program that I want to help people to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes significantly.
Are you ready to get rid of your obesity? Want to have eliminated the energy dips and cravings for sweets needs? Then this is the time to come for good from there.
