"The Second Coming," Literary Project (12-22 September 2010) / Проект "Друге Пришестя" (12-22 вересня 2010 року)
by Юрій ЗавадськийPosted on 12.08.2010
The Second Coming Project aims to continue the process begun with "The First Coming" tour of building bridges between two societies that have many things in common and yet are so different, societies that are currently in different socio-political and cultural circumstances and therefore have a great deal to learn from one another and to exchange.
The process began with a tour in 2009, first bringing Catalan literature to the Ukraine live in an exchange that we hoped would go in both directions. Last year's tour was a great success, and moreover, the exchange process has also begun in the opposite direction. In May of this year, 3 Ukrainian poets and a festival organizer came to Catalonia to participate in the Barcelona Poetry Week. It would seem the cultural bridges are becoming a reality!
The current project is designed to continue with last year's endeavor, enriching Ukrainian society by allowing Ukrainian readers to discover Catalonia and Catalan literature, in particular its poetry, as well as making Catalonia visible. As we remarked last year, Catalan literature has a very long, impressive history, from Ramon Llull to the present, and has recently become greatly successful throughout the world. Catalan writers are constantly participating in the most significant literary festivals in the world. Their works have been translated into a great many languages. At the 2007 Frankfurt Book Fair, for instance, Catalonia was the guest of honor. Works by 53 Catalan writers were translated into German on that occasion. And yet, this literature remains unknown to the Ukrainian public. But we (along with other cultural agents) are slowly chipping away at this state of affairs – where there is a will, there is always a way.
This year, in September, the Publishers' Forum in Lviv and the Ternopil-based publishing house Krok (which means "Step") have conceived of the Second Coming Project. The Project will bring three Catalan writers to two cities in Ukraine: Lviv and Ternopil. The main part of this literary event will consist of presenting each of the three writers at separate recitals at the 5th International Literary Festival / 17th Publishers' Forum in Lviv (dates: 15-19 September 2010).
First and foremost, the aim of the project is to establish contacts and allow enriching exchanges, but it also wishes to bring to light certain historical and literary parallels between Catalonia and Ukraine. The Catalans are one of the largest ethnic minorities (there are some 8 million native speakers of Catalan) remaining unrecognized or 'under-recognized' internationally, as, for instance, in the European Union, where the language has not been granted official "working language" status. The Ukrainians, despite their present independence, are a generally invisible peoples as well on the international arena, due to their having lived long centuries in the shadows of the Russian Empire/Soviet Union and Poland. Ukraine lost its independence nearly at the same time as Catalonia. As of that time, the Ukrainian language was prohibited and/or belittled, the peoples subject to laws similar to those imposed on Catalonia through the Nueva Planta Decrees, their culture and identity suppressed. Ukraine is shared out between Poland and Russia, as Catalonia is between France and Spain, and the Ukrainians live with the constant fear of disappearing as an ethnicity, under heavy pressure from the Russian culture and Russian politics. In the early 19th Century, a cultural resurgence movement emerged in Ukraine that formed part of a more generalized movement in Europe known as the "Spring of the Nations", as did the Catalan Renaixança. Later, in the early 20th Century, the Ukrainian culture, like the Catalan culture, experienced strong growth, particularly in the field of literature. Shortly thereafter, the Ukrainian language and culture were brutally suppressed by the Stalin Regime, and subject to defamation and marginalization campaigns to the point they ran the risk of being wholly annihilated. In Catalonia, the Franco Regime was doing much of the same.
The three authors who will represent Catalonia are: Anna Aguilar-Amat, Francesc Gelonch Bosch and Núria Martínez-Vernis. All three are significant figures on the Catalan literary scene, in particular the first writer, whereas the second poet has not yet published a volume of his works (though this is forthcoming). Anna Aguilar-Amat will also be representing Catalonia at the Grand Opening Night of the Lviv Literature Festival and Editor's Forum. The Catalan-Ukrainian poet, translator and interpreter, Andriy Antonovskiy will also make an appearance, presenting the bilingual Catalan-Ukrainian poetry book published in conjunction with Dr. Yuri Zavadsky (foreword by Carles Hac Mor).
The poetry will be translated from the Catalan to the Ukrainian by Andriy Antonovskiy, Catalina Girona and Dr. Yuri Zavadsky.
The project will be carried out under the auspices of the Institut Ramon Llull, of the Government of Catalonia, which promotes Catalan culture abroad. The Institute itself has also participated in numerous literary festivals in Europe, bringing writers and artists to different countries and helping to make Catalonia known in different parts of the world.
The writers' stay in Ukraine is to last from Sunday, 12th September to Wednesday, 22nd September 2009.
The Lviv Literary Festival is also planning on publishing an "almanac" for the festival, whereas Krok shall publish a brochure containing information on Catalonia and the three invited writers, as well as a brief, Catalan-Ukrainian bilingual anthology of texts.

Brief backgrounds of the above Ukrainian writers:
Viktor Neborak
Victor Neborak (Віктор Неборак, Ivano-Frankove, earlier Yaniv, a small city near Lviv, 1961) is a poet, prose writer, playwright, essayist, literary critic and one of the three founders of the legendary literary performance group, Bu-Ba-Bu (Бу-Ба-Бу, Бурлеск-Балаган-Буфонада, Burlesk-Balahan-Bufonada), that is to say, "Burlesque-Farce1-Buffoonery". He works in the line of comedy, humor, satire and irony. His poems have been put to music by various Ukrainian rock groups.
From the Poetry International website:
Viktor Neborak (1961), a tall imposing figure with a booming voice that makes a microphone come to life when he performs his poetry, was born in 1961 and is one of the leading representatives of the mid-to-late 1980s cultural revival in Ukraine. He is best known as a poet and founding member (along with Yuri Andrukhovych and Oleksander Irvanets) of the Bu-Ba-Bu literary performance group that gained enormous popularity in the late 1980s and 1990s in Ukraine. The syllables of the group's name stand for burlesque (burlesk), a puppet show or farce (balahan), and buffoonery (bufonada). Neborak has also been active as a prose writer, translator, essayist, and cultural activist, as well as a performer with the rock band Neborok, which was extremely popular in Western Ukraine and Poland.
He is the author of six collections of poetry: Amber Time (1987), The Flying Head (1990), Alter Ego (1993), Conversation with a Servant (1994), An Epos about House Number Thirty-Five (1999) and a selected works edition that gathers the best of his works in a single volume Litostroton (2001). His poetry from The Flying Head is an innovative cutting edge work with a great amount of linguistic and poetic experimentation. Alter Ego has a much more reflective tonality than The Flying Head and represents a diametrically opposed voice to the poet's performance voice. An Epos about House Number Thirty-Five shifts to the modality of a poetry of everyday life experiences. Neborak is also the author of two books of memoiristic essays about many of his contemporaries entitled Return to Leopolis (1998) and Introduction to Bu-Ba-Bu (2001).
He has been very active as an interviewer for a monthly cultural program for television in Lviv and can be seen as an organizer and participant in myriad cultural events of the city. He is married to the poet Yaryna Senchyshyn and lives on the outskirts of Lviv with his two children.

Home Hoop Zone Conti: After knee surgery, there is pain, yet relief
Conti: After knee surgery, there is pain, yet relief
Steve Barlow
The days leading up to my ACL and meniscus surgery were a blur, but Feb. 1, the day of my surgery, is a day I will never forget.
The doctors and nurses at Waterbury Hospital were extremely nice and comforting. They made me feel safe and ensured that everything would be fine.
By SAM CONTI
After waking up from my four-hour surgery, my entire left leg was numb due to the nerve block. "The pain isn't so bad," I thought to myself. Little did I know what was to come later when the nerve block wore off around 1 a.m.
This was, by far, the worst pain I had ever experienced, and there was nothing I could do about it. My knee was in a brace that was locked straight, so I couldn't move it even if I wanted.
The pain was one reason why I was nervous about the surgery and its aftermath, but I wasn't going through this alone.
Talie Brodnitzki, a Northwestern junior and one of the Berkshire League's top basketball players, tore her ACL and lateral meniscus in November. She had surgery just a day after mine.
Brodnitzki admitted that, like me, she was anxious before the surgery, but the procedure was a relief.
"I was super relieved to have my surgery," Brodnitzki said. "It had been a while since my initial injury, and I knew this surgery was going to reset me to zero with nine months of rehab to go."
Simple tasks, like trying to maneuver around the house, became a lot harder — especially for an athlete who's used to moving and competing.
"The hard things are the things you take for granted that are (now) extremely difficult, and relying on other people," Brodnitzki said. "As athletes, you are always pushing yourself, and now you are being told to slow down."
I've had to take it even more slowly than others because of my meniscus.
To fix my partially torn meniscus, there were two options: snip the meniscus to repair it or fully remove it. Snipping was only an option if mine wasn't fully ruptured, which couldn't be identified until surgeons went in.
They were able to repair my meniscus, which meant I couldn't bear weight on my left leg for at least four weeks. Had they removed the cartilage, I would've been able to walk almost right away, but repairing it was better in the long run, especially for a young athlete.
During my first time at rehab, my physical therapist told me the first few weeks would be super slow because of my meniscus healing. I couldn't really do much, which was frustrating.
Even though the pace of rehab was discouraging, I knew it was necessary if I wanted to not only recover, but recover as fast as possible. I'm only required to attend physical therapy three times a week, but I also work with Sean McGee, Nonnewaug's athletic trainer, every day.
The first, most important rehab goal is to get back my range of motion. Once I accomplish that, I can begin getting back my strength. This requires consistency with PT.
"Most people, in general, go to PT and they stick with their PT exercises only at the physical therapy place," McGee said. "For something as serious as (a torn ACL), you need to be consistently doing this because you will see better results as you go on."
One of the main things my physical therapist said is that raising your leg straight up in the air is a big accomplishment; everyone gets excited when they finally do that. After two weeks, I finally got it all by myself. As promised, it was an amazing feeling.
"If you look at yourself now, I think you're well above schedule than what we were predicting," McGee said. "I believe the pre-rehab helped out a lot."
Hitting my first milestone was a result of hard work, perseverance and dedication. It did not come easy, and neither will the rest of the process.
Along with my PT exercises, I work out my upper body to keep my blood pumping and grow my arm strength.
"You want to keep in shape as best as you can," McGee said. "It's not like I can tell you to go run on a treadmill right now or do basketball conditioning, so we're trying to work on the other structures that are healthy enough to work on (and) maintaining good strength and conditioning for the rest of the rehabilitation."
My goal is to get back to playing as quickly and safely as possible, but also to use this time to get stronger for next fall.
It's very challenging not being able to play with my team, which just won the BL tournament without me. Obviously, I would love to play, but writing this column and showing everyone the process of my recovery helps.
There is so much behind-the-scenes work that nobody sees, but I know it will pay off for me — and hopefully this helps others, too.
Sam Conti is a junior at Nonnewaug High who tore the ACL in her left knee Dec. 26. In a monthly series, Conti, the sports editor for the Nonnewaug Chief Advocate journalism program, will describe her journey through recovery and return to competition.

The Abia chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared that it will resist any attempt to inaugurate, Sampson Ogah, as the new governor of the state.
The party made the resolution and declaration at the end of its emergency meeting in Umuahia on Thursday.
The state Chairman of the party, Johnson Onuigbo, accompanied by members of the executive committee, said the party got wind of a plan to flood the state with military personnel.
Mr. Onuigbo said such an invasion would trigger off anarchy, adding that the party was poised for showdown over the planned inauguration.
"As a party, we will resist any move by anybody to undermine the peace in the state," Mr. Onuigbo said.
He said that as a law-abiding state, the government had obtained an exparte injunction "restraining the state Chief Judge or any other judges from swearing in Mr. Ogah as governor".
"We are ready for them, we are ready to die," he said, adding, "If they do it, then they are inviting anarchy and confusion in the state.
"We are in a democracy so we want the world to hear and know that we are being shortchanged in Abia," he said.
Mr. Onuigbo said the party had sent emissaries to Mr. Ogah to persuade him "to sheath his sword and allow peace to reign in Abia" to no avail.
He said that at the end of the current crisis, the party would met out sanction to Mr. Ogah for disregarding entreaties from the chieftains of the party.


Iraida, a girl who has just moved with her parents to a new city, starts working in a luxury clothing store. She soon notices the rejection and rivalry of her companions. Therefore, she has no friends, she feels increasingly alone and spends the weekends locked in her room. One day she finds an advertisement from OnlyFriends, a website that offers friends in exchange for a monthly fee. After much hesitation, she decides to sign up. The web promises that a series of people will appear in her daily life with the intention to be friends with her. Iraida does not have to do anything, she only has to act in a natural way and go on with the situations that arise. The only condition is that she must never ask people she meets if they work for OnlyFriends.
All locations are real. There is even the forest of Samalús, a private setting full of sculptures of monks and owls.
The idea came up after I saw an advertisement, in which a well-known brand of soft drinks offered a service of friends to those who were alone.
My cousin Dama N. Prayton, who is also a writer, gave me some advice on how to put myself in the shoes of a girl so that I could express in first person her thoughts and emotions.


It is not uncommon for otherwise law-abiding citizens to find that they have violated laws relating to drug possession or distribution. Drug laws in the US are seriously enforced at the federal level and even a minor infraction could result in serious fines or even incarceration. If you are facing such charges, you need a Michigan federal drug lawyer by your side. An experienced attorney will best be able to build a defense for any federal charges you face.
In an effort to crack down on meth labs, lawmakers have toughened the penalties for the possession of precursor chemicals that can be used to manufacture controlled substances.
As a criminal defendant, a person has certain basic rights in the American legal system. They are presumed innocent until the government proves its case against them beyond a reasonable doubt. One of the things the government must prove is that the defendant knew the item in their possession was a controlled substance. If the authorities can prove an intent to distribute the substance, then the defendant can face much harsher penalties. Being in possession of a large quantity of the drug can be used as evidence, but the government may also bring into evidence inquiries made about the willingness of others to purchase the drug, as well as whether the person owned a digital scale.
A key issue in all criminal cases, and especially drug-related charges, is the admissibility of evidence. When investigating cases, a Michigan federal drug lawyer will investigate certain considerations such as whether police had probable cause to stop a car when they found illegal substances in a car. The will also take into consideration if the police stayed within the parameters of their warrant if the evidence was found during the search of someone's home with a warrant. They will also consider if the law enforcement officers were guilty of entrapment. Being able to suppress evidence is often the difference between winning and losing a drug case.
One of the characteristics of the drug laws passed during the 1980s is mandatory minimum sentences. Courts were perceived as being too lenient with drug offenders, so they lost the discretion to impose lighter sentences. Even a first offender could be looking at a severe punishment, depending on the substance and where there was an intent to distribute.
Because of this, you should take any possible drug charges seriously. Michigan federal drug attorneys can assist you at every step of the process, through arraignment, bond hearings, investigations, and at trial. Do not delay in finding out what your options are.


Time to take a break from the Ada action for this year's Halloween special. All of the main Rune Hunters have gathered together to host a haunted house this year. Even the little hodag wanted to get in on the fiendish fun. At least they didn't let Asura pick out everyone's costume this year.

A story doing the rounds in New Delhi is that the Congress Party has commissioned a secret opinion poll for the coming state elections, which predicts that the BJP will be voted back to power in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, while the Congress will retain power in Delhi. This opinion poll suggests that incumbents will get re-elected everywhere, reversing voting trends in recent decades, when 75-80% of all incumbents have been voted out.
Predicting election results is a mug's game: there are no reliable ways of measuring voting moods, and pollsters and journalists have repeatedly proved false prophets. A further complication this time is the possible impact of the global recession and Mumbai terrorist attack. Yet, after a brief recent tour of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, along with other media colleagues, let me stick my neck out and predict that anti-incumbency is indeed the current mood, and that the opinion poll supposedly commissioned by the Congress will prove false.
Why are three-quarters of incumbent governments voted out? Because governance is weak, and the state delivers a small fraction of what it promises. Only in exceptional circumstances do incumbents get re-elected.
Narendra Modi of the BJP was re-elected in Gujarat in 2007 because he provided high quality governance and public services. His share of the popular vote stayed virtually unchanged at almost 50%. For very different reasons, Tarun Gogoi of the Congress was re-elected in Assam in 2006. He lost almost 9 percentage points of the popular vote, an anti-incumbent trend that would normally have meant massive defeat. Yet he scraped through with just 31% of the popular vote, because the pposition vote was divided among several parties.
Neither of these special circumstances apply in Madhya Pradesh or Rajasthan. In neither state is the Opposition vote split between several parties: the Congress Party is the clear alternative. In neither state has the BJP government provided the high-quality public services that Modi has in Gujarat. The BJP swept to power in 2003 the central Indian belt on the slogan of providing better bijli, sadak and pani (electricity, roads and water). Alas, it has failed to do so.
Householders in Bhopal complain that they get water only every other day, and people in Indore claim that sometimes they get water just once in three days. Electricity supply remains erratic and of low quality. The performance is roads is much better, but this is partly because of central programs such as the National Highways and the Prime Minister's Village Roads Programme.
The National Rural Employment guarantee Act (NREGA) has provided substantial rural purchasing power to the needy, despite much corruption and diversion of funds. Villagers say that after the government raised the minimum wage paid to NREGA workers in Rajasthan, wages have risen in the open market too, benefiting labourers. However, most (though by no means all) villagers know the difference between central and state programmes, and are aware that NREGA and high-class rural roads go to the credit of New Delhi more than the state capital.
So, the voter mood is anti-incumbent. In Madhya Pradesh, the BJP takes comfort in the fact that it was almost 11 percentage points ahead of Congress in 2003, so it hopes to stay on top even if it loses a substantial chunk of the popular vote. It is banking on the image of its Chief Minister Shivraj Chauhan, who is seen as a relatively clean politician, in contrast to many of his highly corrupt Ministers. However, this does not look sufficient to overcome the general anti-incumbent mood.
In Rajasthan, the BJP won by a relatively narrow margin in 2003, and to that extent is more vulnerable than in Madhya Pradesh. The state has made considerable industrial progress in recent decades. But, as voting history has shown in state after state, industry does not automatically translate into votes.
What about the impact of the global recession, which started in the US and Europe and has now hit India? In Madhya Pradesh, it is a non-issue. Politicians of all stripes say that the recession has not affected employment or production, and that factories have not laid off large numbers of workers.
In Rajasthan, truck operators serving the Delhi-Mumbai route say that business has suddenly fallen by almost 30% in the last month, a sudden and sharp slowdown. The gems and textile industries of the state are affected too. Yet both Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan are mainly rural states, with relatively little exposure to the global economy. What little impact the global recession has will, however, deepen the anti-incumbent mood.
The BJP in its election campaign accuses the Congress of being incompetent in handling terrorism. The latest Mumbai terrorist attack makes the Congress look more incompetent than ever. But there have been terrorist incidents in BJP-ruled Rajasthan too. Politics in both states focuses overwhelmingly on local issues, often on narrow constituency issues. National issues matter much less.
In these circumstances, incumbent governments are likely to take a beating. Regardless of what secret opinion polls may say, the BJP should prepare for the worst in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.

Tritan Ventures war ein US-amerikanischer Hersteller von Automobilen.

Unternehmensgeschichte
Das Unternehmen wurde am 26. März 1984 in Ann Arbor in Michigan gegründet. Douglas J. Amick leitete es. Als Designer wird James Amick genannt. Es stellte Autos mit dem Markennamen Tritan her. Am 15. Mai 1988 wurde es aufgelöst. Insgesamt entstanden elf Fahrzeuge.

Fahrzeuge
Das Unternehmen stellte ausschließlich Dreiräder mit einzelnem Vorderrad her.

Das erste war der Tritan Aero 135 von 1984. Die Bezeichnung ist ein Hinweis auf den sehr niedrigen Strömungswiderstandskoeffizient von 0,135. Ein Rasenmähermotor von  Tecumseh Products mit 14 PS Leistung trieb das Fahrzeug an. Es blieb ein Einzelstück.

Darauf folgte der Tritan A2, der von 1984 bis etwa 1987 gebaut wurde. Die Pizzakette Domino's Pizza gab den Auftrag für dieses Modell und nahm zehn Stück ab.

Maintaining the quality of official statistics – including through prioritisation of statistical products.
Transforming the ABS to meet future needs and opportunities – including through the Statistical Business Transformation Program and cultural change.
Maximising the value of public data through data integration and improved microdata access – including implementation of the Data Integration Partnership for Australia (DIPA).
ASAC will continue to advise the ABS in each of those areas as well as on appropriate strategies to manage risk without stifling innovation and collaboration. The Council accepts the need for continued high priority and low tolerance for risk in relation to the National Accounts, Consumer Price Index, Labour Force Statistics and Estimated Resident Population.
In 2018, the ABS will undertake its biennial Stakeholder Relationship Health Assessment. The Council will continue to provide feedback on progress in achieving effective stakeholder relationships, including participation in the assessment.
Planning for the next five yearly Census has already begun, and ASAC has been taking a close interest in a number of aspects.
The Council welcomes the steps being taken by the ABS to embed learnings from the events of 2016 (including acting on findings and recommendations from the MacGibbon Review, the Senate Census Inquiry and the Census Independent Assurance Panel). Council members will continue to offer advice in a number of areas crucial to achieving good outcomes, including governance, risk management, partnerships and communications. In the case of governance, the Council considers that the ABS has established a robust framework, including renewed provision for independent advice and assurance.
The Council will seek to assist the ABS further to the extent that significant public concerns or media issues arise. At the same time, where appropriate, members will provide support for the Census and encourage participation in community consultation.
The Government's forthcoming response to the final report of the Productivity Commission's Inquiry into Data Availability and Use will have significant implications for the development of Australia's data and statistical system.
implement data management standards to support increased data availability and use.
ASAC is providing advice to the ABS on changes that could be made to the Statistics Determination 1983 (the Determination). The Determination allows for the release or disclosure of certain statistical information, provided that is not likely to enable the identification of a person. The Determination was last updated in 2004 and is due to lapse in October 2018.
The remaking of the Determination provides an important opportunity to consider whether it remains fit for purpose, given the growing need for data to support research, innovation, policy and decision making. Possible changes will also recognise expectations of appropriate access, and the crucial importance of preserving the trust of those providing information. A public consultation process will be conducted by the Australian Department of the Treasury in conjunction with the ABS. ASAC has emphasised the importance of effective consultation and engagement processes to achieving the right outcome.
The Council welcomes the recent announcement by the Government that it will fund the Data Integration Partnership for Australia (DIPA), and the key role for the ABS as the primary integrating authority. The DIPA is a co-ordinated Australian Public Service investment to maximise the use and value of government data through their greater integration, enabling more cost effective and timely policy evaluation and development, and service delivery. It will make possible new insights about families, communities, industries and the economy as a whole.
a hub and spoke model for data analysis to address complex, cross-portfolio projects.
prioritisation of the broader ABS data integration program.

A Karádi-díj az év kiemelkedő magyar artistájának odaítélt díj.

Története
A Nemzeti Cirkuszművészeti Központ Karádi Béla végakaratának megfelelően, elismerve és tiszteletben tartva munkásságát 2021. augusztus 10-én megalapította a Tihany életműdíj és a Porond Ifjú Csillaga-díjakkal egyenrangú Karádi-díjat, amelyet minden évben, augusztusban egy díszelőadás keretében az év kiemelkedő magyar artistájának ad át.

A Nemzeti Cirkuszművészeti Központ által felkért – a magyar artista társadalom legkiválóbb művészeiből álló – öt tagú zsűri tesz javaslatot az adott évben kiemelkedő művészi munkát végző magyar artistaművészekre. A jelölés során az alábbi szempontokat kell figyelembe venniük: az adott évben elért művészi teljesítményt, valamint a megkérdőjelezhetetlen, példa értékű közösségi és magánéletet.

A díjazott személyéről a magyar artista szakma dönt. Az öt legtöbb jelölést kapó artistaművészre a Nemzeti Cirkuszművészeti Központ által kibocsátott Cirkuszművészeti Szakmai Kártya birtokosok szavazhatnak online, a Fővárosi Nagycirkusz honlapján elhelyezett szavazólapon, a nomináltak bejelentésétől számított öt napig. Minden szavazásra jogosult az öt jelölt közül egy artistaművészt választhat. A díjazott ünnepi gálaelőadás keretében nyilvánosan kapja meg a Karádi-díjat.

Karádi Béla a Magyar Cirkusz és Varieté Vállalat művészeti vezetője volt 1965-től 1982-ig, kiemelkedő érdemei voltak az 1971-ben újjáépített Fővárosi Nagycirkusz újraindulásában.  Karádi Béla 2016. május 25-én hunyt el, örökös nélkül. Végrendeletében arról rendelkezett, hogy a Nemzeti Cirkuszművészeti Központ a ráeső örökségből díjat alapítson.

Díjazottak
 2021: Nagy Ferenc (Rolling Wheel)
 2022: Dittmár Laido

Proton Holdings has sold it's 57.57 percent stake in MV Agusta Spa to an Italian company Gevi Spa. Gevi Spa will assume MV Agusta's debts and working capital requirements totalling 139.44 million euros, as announced today to Bursa Malaysia by Proton Holdings as part of it's non-core asset divesting exercise.
Interesting to note that Proton originally acquired MV Agusta Spa last year on July 7 2004 for 70 million Euro, and finally sold it for a token sum of 1 Euro (RM4.48).


Did you know that 95 percent of the restaurants in Tel Aviv are NOT Kosher?
On my recent trip there, local tour guide Doron Ozer took me and my travel companions a little jaunt through the quaint and funky neighborhood of Neve Tzedek. Located in the southwestern part of the city, the neighborhood had been going through a process of urban decay as Tel Aviv grew up around it, despite being the first Jewish neighborhood built outside the walls of the ancient port of Jaffa.
Today, the neighborhood has gone through a rebirth, and is somewhat like the Soho of Tel Aviv, filled with vibrant coffee shops, gourmet restaurants, art galleries, fashionable stores, and expensive flats, while still keeping it's village-like community vibe.
While exploring Neve Tzedek and Tel Aviv, we visited many hot dining spots, new and older, and it was clear that Doron Ozer knows his food in Israel! Here's his list of the five best restaurants in Tel Aviv. All have delicious food, interesting wines, and a festive, romantic, or swanky atmosphere.
Note: Tel Aviv is famous for its nightlife, so keep that in mind if making a reservation or deciding on dinner time. No one – I mean, absolutely no one other than foreign tourists – eats at 6 or 7 pm. Make your reservations for 9 or 10 pm to ensure a lively dining experience.
A little pampering that connects new with old and combines complex flavors in a contemporary setting. The name "Dallal" literally means "pamper," and this restaurant delivers. It seems to appear out of nowhere and with the gentle lighting and greenery throughout the space and long mahogany wood bar, you can't help but enjoy the dining experience.
The fact that the food is delicious too is just a bonus. There's a variety of dishes, all inspired using local fresh produce with a Mediterranean flair, and influenced by its funky Neve Tzedek location, at the hands of Chef Golan Garfunkel.
Inside the space are various seating areas that each have their own unique feel (I preferred the courtyard in the center near the bar), including small tables and a standing style espresso bar. Their well-known bakery has an array of baked goods that combines French classics with Israeli tastes, such as éclairs filled with vanilla, coffee and chocolate.
The contemporary update of the Tel Aviv classic Catit, this is hot chef Meir Adoni's latest venue and has quickly become THE place to be with its frequent celebrity visitors (supermodel Bar Refaeli and Israeli TV personality Assi Azar) and trendy clientele. While the menu is limited, the richness in flavor and elegance in the dishes are out of this world.
People say you can judge a restaurant by its bread, and in this case, Mizlala would take the prize with its white sourdough with coriander seeds or the "kubaneh" bread with crushed grilled tomatoes and hot green peppers. There's a clear middle eastern flair in the food, but Asian influences are also apparent in dishes such as the fish kebab with eggplant and goat cheese cream, grilled vegetables, ginger and a chili vinaigrette. Their pasta dishes are interesting as well with items linguini in butter, sage and garlic sauce served with white asparagus, brioche crumbs and a tempura-fried poached egg!
Dixie opened nearly two decades ago as a "Manhattan style" steak house and over the years has expanded their traditional dishes to include more innovative, seasonal cuisine. And no one's complaining!
At first, they changed their menu three times a year to highlight the season's best produce and flavors, while maintaining a level of quality that keeps regulars returning again and again. But some years ago, Dixie became the first restaurant in Israel to introduce the concept of 24/7. This means they have four different menus created by Chef Dan Crettela, that changes every few hours to best meet the needs of their customers. The mahogany décor, wooden tables, hopping bar, extensive wine list, and intimate space makes them consistently one of Tel Aviv's best.
Carmella is a classy place, not just for the food which chef and owner Daniel Zach (Sussenbach) insists doesn't play into current trends, but also for its picturesque location in one of Nachlat Binyamin Street's most beautiful buildings.
The architectural stunner is an ancient structure called "Beit Amudim" that was restored with meticulous design and unique design elements like arches and columns, hanging plants, and hand-drawn tiles throughout the entrance and dining rooms.
The food is Mediterranean and focuses mainly on fresh fish, seafood, green salads and unique roasts, but there is a wide selection of other dishes.
Located in a 129-year-old restored building that once belonged to a Turkish Sheik, Kimmel features rustic delicacies like cheeses, meat and fish in rich sauces, herbs, cream and olive oil. The comprehensive wine and cocktails menu ups the ante.
The earthy food (try the house bread flavored with zataar spices, dill, lemon, garlic and served with sauces like fig and honey or wild berry and pepper) is enhanced by the relaxing, rustic décor with its authentic country style design, natural trees, unique serving dishes and tableware.
Bold palettes should try the mushrooms stuffed with gooseliver in plum-and-fig sauce, and for a main course, the ostrich filet in curry, lemon, and garlic. A variety of less extravagant, but equally delicious dishes are also on the menu.
3 Comments	On "The Five Best Restaurants in Tel Aviv"
I was foiled with the River Jordan tour. It was over-commercialized and I think cheapened the whole experience. Nazareth is one of the place you should come by even if your not religious like me you will still appreciate the beauty of the place because rich of culture and history. Food and party in Tel Aviv is as best as the western world could have. It is never been a hasle travelling in israel since the place has lots of good directions just stay off from grave places. All in all Israel is one of the best place i have traveled.


THE violent protests by factory workers last week were the last thing Lesotho needs if it is to project an image of a stable economy to potential investors.
The workers were incensed after the coalition government led by Prime Minister Thomas Thabane allegedly "ignored" their demands for a M2 000 a month minimum wage.
They went on the rampage, burning and looting shops in Maseru and Maputsoe.
Caught between placating an angry workforce and keeping the factories economically viable, the government succumbed to pressure and acceded to the workers' demands.
It is apparent that the government was in a fix.
Just slightly over a year ago, Thabane and his coalition partners were swept into power on the back of a pledge to improve the welfare of the over 40 000 factory workers.
The government might have felt it had to accede to the workers' demands to keep this key voting bloc contented or risk antagonising its urban base.
The result is that the government okayed the massive and unprecedented 42 percent salary jump from M1 300 and M2 000 a month, a decision that is now being challenged in the courts.
The decision to award the massive salary increase to factory workers was a political one which comes with its own baggage. The stakes were high and Thabane had to act to placate the angry workers.
However, it must be noted that such a decision could have dire consequences. Some factory owners who spoke to thepost this week say the new salaries are unsustainable and will make them extremely uncompetitive. Some of them are already threatening to close shop.
If that happens, that would be a massive blow to the government which is already battling to provide jobs to hordes of unemployed youths. The key is in keeping the factories open and retain the few jobs that are already available.
No one disputes that factory workers are underpaid. The key lies in striking a balance between the interests of employers and those of workers.
While pursuing that agenda, the coalition government must resist the temptation to go the populist route.
Lesotho needs to keep its factories open at all costs. A decision by factory owners to walk out would be disastrous for Lesotho.
With the government having bowed down to pressure from textile unions, it must now brace itself for a season of more protests from an aggrieved civil service.
The new salaries for factory workers will likely see a ripple effect across the entire civil service with workers screaming for similar increases.
Already teachers are on a "go slow" as they push for a bump on their salaries. There are also grumblings of discontent from the police and other government employees.
The government must therefore brace itself for a winter of discontent. By bowing to the factory workers' demands, the government might have opened the floodgates to more protests from an angry civil service. How it will placate the civil service will test the government's commitment to fulfilling its electoral promises while pushing for fiscal discipline.

A postdoctoral fellowship position is available in the Section of Protein Structure and Function, Laboratory of Retinal and Molecular Biology (LRCMB) at the National Eye Institute. The major aims of the section include developing new tools for studying protein structure as it relates to retina function and mechanism of action of retinoprotective factors. A long-standing project focuses on multifunctional factors with retinoprotective properties, such as the SERPIN pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), which acts in neuronal differentiation and survival, and prevents angiogenesis, tumor growth and metastasis. Pathological retinal cell demise and abnormal vessel growth can perturb the structure and morphology of the retina and lead to visual loss. If the cell death and/or angiogenesis are prevented, retinal degeneration can be restricted. Therefore, endogenous neurotrophic factors and angiogenic inhibitors are likely to play an important role in retinal protection. Upon interaction with cell-surface receptors the naturally-occurring PEDF stimulates the receptor's lipase activity and, in turn, affects lipid metabolism, which has been recently associated with retinal survival/degeneration. A new project will study the downstream neurotrophic effects of PEDF on mitochondria and metabolism. Our goal is to understand neurotrophic interactions, signaling pathways, and metabolomics to aid in the identification of potential drug targets that can prevent retinal degeneration.
We are seeking highly motivated candidates with a PhD in the biomedical sciences, with strong verbal and writing skills, and a strong background in biochemistry, cell, and molecular biology. Knowledge and experience with metabolomics is a plus. U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, and non-U.S. citizens are eligible to apply.

The Cumberland Trail is a beautiful trail. While it is not fully completed yet, each of its sections is quite beautiful, and I enjoy each of my hikes along the trail. The Cumberland Trail follows the Cumberland Plateau in Central Tennessee, and it has both waterfalls and scenic views. The unique geography of the Cumberland Plateau always makes the hikes interesting. There are dozens of small but steep gorges, and there's rocks everywhere. This hike occured on Saturday, May 3rd, 2014. My plan was to hike a portion of the Cumberland Trail in the Laurel-Snow Pocket Wilderness. I planned visiting Laurel Falls and Bryan Overlook, and then go up the opposite side of the gorge to Buzzard Point Overlook. While there were a couple unexpected things throughout the hike, my plan got fulfilled.

Albany, NY- The New York Alliance for Donation (NYAD) is pleased to announce that Governor Cuomo has signed A.9667-A (Gunther) / S.6952-A (Hannon) into law. Beginning in 2017, New Yorkers applying for health insurance through the New York State of Health Benefit Exchange, will have the opportunity to enroll in the New York State Donate Life Registry directly on their health plan applications.
NYAD's mission is to increase organ and tissue donation in New York State through collaborative advocacy, education, promotion and research. NYAD's vision is to ensure every New Yorker waiting for a lifesaving transplant receives one. Our organization is comprised of the four organ procurement organizations, state licensed eye and tissue banks and/or processors, and affiliates including dedicated donation and transplantation professionals.
New York is facing a public health crisis where the need for life saving and life enhancing organ and tissue donations for transplant surgeries far exceeds the supply. Today, more than 10,000 men, women and children in New York are listed on the national transplant waiting list overseen by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS). New York residents make up approximately 10 percent of the patients on the waiting list. The average waiting time for someone to receive a kidney transplant in New York is approximately 5 years; the average waiting time for a life-saving liver transplant is more than two years. Every 16 hours, one New Yorker dies because of the lack of organs available for transplant; more than 500 died last year because an organ did not become available in time to save their life. An individual who makes the decision to give an anatomical gift has the power to save up to 8 lives. Thousands more can benefit from receiving a cornea or tissue transplant.
The State Director of Development is a new position for NYAD. The professional serving in this position will be responsible for working with the Executive Director to grow income streams and ensure NYAD's financial well-being in order to support the organization's lifesaving mission of increasing organ, eye and tissue donations. As a newly created functional area, the State Director of Development will establish a development program, create processes and procedures, and draft a comprehensive annual plan (with agreed upon financial goals) for increasing and diversifying financial resources to support NYAD's programs and services.
On behalf of the donation community, the New York Alliance for Donation (NYAD) applauds the Governor and State Legislature for taking decisive steps to achieve full implementation of Lauren's Law that will ensure New Yorkers consider enrollment in the state's organ and tissue donor registry.
In 2012, Lauren's Law, named after a young girl, Lauren Shields, whose life was saved by a heart transplant, was created with the intent to require driver license applicants to actively choose whether they would like to become a registered organ, eye and tissue donor on the New York State Donate Life Registry. However, because the statute did not invalidate an application that left the organ and tissue donation section blank, it has not resulted in as much of a change in the administrative processes at the Department of Motor Vehicles as had been hoped. The legislation Governor Cuomo signed into law yesterday would fulfill the intent of Lauren's Law and prevent any driver license, non-driver identification, or renewal, application from being processed without the organ and tissue donation section being completed—thus ensuring New Yorkers are offered the opportunity to give the gift of life.
New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) and New York Alliance for Donation (NYAD) are joining together to launch a statewide collaborative campaign, "Working Together, Working for Life," to raise awareness of the importance of organ and tissue donation. The two organizations are partnering together to take BOLD steps to help save and improve the lives of thousands of New Yorkers in dire need of transplants.
The New York Alliance for Donation would like to express it's gratitude to the Empire State Society of Association Executives (ESSAE) and its members for the generous donation of $5,035 to the New York Alliance for Donation, Inc.

Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK) es una empresa estadounidense que ofrece sistemas de automatización e información industrial. Las marcas incluyen Allen-Bradley y Rockwell Software.

Con sede central en Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Rockwell Automation emplea a más de 22 000 personas y opera en más de 80 países en todo el mundo. La compañía de Fortune 500 reportó $ 6350 millones en ventas durante el año fiscal 2013.

Historia de la empresa

Primeros años
Rockwell Automation remonta su historia a 1903 y la formación de la Compression Rheostat Company (Compañía Reostatos de Compresión), fundada por Lynde Bradley y el Dr. Stanton Allen con una inversión inicial de $ 1000.
En 1904, 19 años de edad, Harry Bradley se unió a su hermano en el negocio.

Primer producto patentado de la compañía era un controlador de motor de tipo de compresión de disco de carbono para grúas industriales. El controlador de la grúa se demostró en la Feria Mundial de St. Louis en 1904.

En 1909, la compañía pasó a llamarse de Allen-Bradley Company.

Allen-Bradley se expandió rápidamente durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, en respuesta a la obra contratada por el gobierno. Su línea de productos creció para incluir a los arrancadores automáticos e interruptores, disyuntores, relés y otros equipos eléctricos.

En 1914, Fred Loock estableció por primera vez la oficina de ventas de la compañía en Nueva York.

A la muerte del cofundador Stanton Allen en 1916, Lynde Bradley se convirtió en presidente. Harry Bradley fue nombrado vicepresidente y el abogado Louis Quarles fue nombrado secretario corporativo.

En 1918 Allen-Bradley contrató a su primera trabajadora femenina en la fábrica, Julia Bizewski Polczynski, que fue ascendida a capataz al año siguiente.

Durante la década de 1920, la compañía creció su mini negocio de reostato para apoyar a la industria de la radio en expansión. A mediados de esta década, casi el 50 por ciento de las ventas de la compañía fueron atribuidas al departamento de radio. La década se cerró con récord de ventas de la compañía de $ 3 millones.

En 1932, la Gran Depresión había cobrado su precio, la compañía publicó pérdidas récord. En medio de una creciente presión económica, Allen-Bradley redujo su fuerza laboral 800-550 y cortar los salarios en un 50 por ciento. Para disminuir la carga financiera, Lynde y Harry Bradley implementaron un programa único: la empresa sustituyó la pérdida de salarios de los empleados con acciones preferentes. Finalmente, la compañía volvió a comprar todas las acciones a las seis por ciento de interés.

A lo largo de este período, Lynde Bradley apoyó un enfoque de investigación y desarrollo agresivo destinado a "desarrollar la compañía fuera de la Depresión".La estrategia de Lynde Bradley R&D tuvo éxito. Para 1937, el empleo de Allen-Bradley se había recuperado sobre los niveles de la pre-Depresión y las ventas de la compañía alcanzaron un máximo histórico de casi $ 4 millones.

A mediados del siglo XX
Tras la muerte de Lynde Bradley en 1942, Harry Bradley se convirtió en el presidente de la compañía y Fred Loock fue ascendido a vicepresidente. La Fundación Lynde Bradley, una fundación benéfica, fue establecida con los activos de Lynde Bradley. El primer regalo de la fundación fue de 12.500 dólares que se realizó al Fondo de la Comunidad de Milwaukee, el predecesor de la United Way.

La Segunda Guerra Mundial alimentó niveles sin precedentes de la producción, con el 80 por ciento de los pedidos de la empresa puede ser relacionado con la guerra. Los pedidos en tiempos de guerra se centraron en dos grandes líneas de productos - controles industriales para la producción de la velocidad y los componentes eléctricos o "partes de radio" que se utilizaron en una amplia gama de equipo militar.

Allen-Bradley amplió sus instalaciones en numerosas ocasiones durante la década de 1940 para satisfacer las necesidades de producción en tiempo de guerra. Con Fred Loock sirviendo como presidente y Harry Bradley como responsable, la compañía inició con un gran $ 1 millón, en 1947 un proyecto de ampliación de dos años. La compañía completó expansiones adicionales en sus instalaciones de Milwaukee en los años 1950 y 1960, incluyendo la torre del reloj de Allen-Bradley. La torre del reloj ya que ha cambiado de nombre, y es conocido hoy como la torre de reloj de Rockwell Automation.

Harry Bradley murió en 1965. Fred Loock se retiró en 1967 y murió en 1973.

A finales del siglo XX
Durante la década de 1970, la compañía amplió sus instalaciones de producción y de los mercados e ingresó en la década de 1980 como una empresa global. Con el presidente J. Tracy O'Rourke (1981-1989) a la cabeza, la compañía introdujo una nueva línea de controladores lógicos programables, PLC-3, en 1981.

En 1985 la propiedad privada de Allen-Bradley estableció un nuevo récord fiscal con ventas de $ 1,000 millones. El 20 de febrero de 1985 Rockwell International compró Allen-Bradley por $ 1,651,000,000. Esta fue la mayor adquisición en la historia de Wisconsin hasta la fecha.

La década de 1990 se caracterizó por la continuación del desarrollo de tecnología, incluyendo el lanzamiento de la compañía de su negocio de software, Rockwell Software (1994), la plataforma de control Logix (1997) y el sistema de Arquitectura Integrada (1999).

Durante esta década, Rockwell International también adquirió un negocio de sistemas de potencia, compuesto de Reliance Electric y Dodge. Estas dos marcas, combinadas con sistemas de control de cadenas de Allen-Bradley y Rockwell Software, se comercializan como Rockwell Automation.

En 1998, Keith Nosbusch fue nombrado presidente de Sistemas de Control de Rockwell Automation. Sede de Rockwell International Corporation se trasladó a Milwaukee, Wisconsin el mismo año.

Siglo XXI

Rockwell International Corporation cambió su nombre por el de Rockwell Automation en 2002 y sigue cotizando en la Bolsa de Valores de Nueva York bajo el símbolo "ROK."

Keith Nosbusch fue nombrado director general en 2004.

En 2007, Rockwell Automation vendió la división Power Systems para centrarse en sus competencias básicas en automatización y tecnología de la información.

Q: Playing multiple sounds at once? I have 6 sounds on one view.
However I want it so that I can play more than one at once, So you tap sound 1 (sound 1 is playing) then sound 2 plays. while sound 1 is still playing.
But at the moment I press sound 1 (sound 1 plays), press sound 2 (sound 2 plays, but sound 1 stops)
Here is the code for the audio part.
- (IBAction)oneSound:(id)sender; {
    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"1" ofType:@"wav"];
    if (theAudio) [theAudio release];
    theAudio = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] error:NULL];
    theAudio.delegate = self;
    [theAudio play];
    volumeTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.05 target:self selector:@selector(updateVolume) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
}

- (IBAction)twoSound:(id)sender; {
    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"2" ofType:@"wav"];
    if (theAudio) [theAudio release];
    theAudio = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] error:NULL];
    theAudio.delegate = self;
    [theAudio play];
    volumeTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.05 target:self selector:@selector(updateVolume) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
}

A: There is some important code missing, but it looks as if theAudio is a global you are using to manage the playing of your sounds. Since you destroy it whenever a sound is played whatever is currently playing will stop in preparation for the next sound.
There are several ways to fix this, one being that each sound gets its own unique AVAudioPlayer instance.

A: don't release the player just because it exists. release when finished playing
You should implement this in the app delegate or a property of the app delegate so that the delegate reference remains valid if you pop the view.
You should not need to do this for each voice. Each voice will initial the player with a different filename or URL. You gain this by making sure that you will release when finished playing. The other thing to take care of is releasing players if the player doesn't finish because of an interruption.

    NSString *soundFilePath =
    [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i", noteNumber ]
                                    ofType: @"caf"];

    NSURL *fileURL = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath: soundFilePath];

    AVAudioPlayer *playerToPrepare = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:fileURL
                                                                            error:nil];

    [fileURL release];

    [playerToPrepare prepareToPlay];
    [playerToPrepare setDelegate: self];

    [playerToPrepare play];

}

- (void) audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying: (AVAudioPlayer *) playerThatFinished
                        successfully: (BOOL) completed {
    if (completed) {
        [playerThatFinished release];
    }
}

A: You can declare and use:
AVAudioPlayer *theAudio1;    // for file 1.wav
AVAudioPlayer *theAudio2;    // for file 2.wav
...
AVAudioPlayer *theAudio6;    // etc.

instead of releasing and reusing just one AVAudioPlayer.
