  • Musica Ucraina Moderna
    … UCCELLO DI FUOCO (L’) (balletto) Balletto in un atto e due scene, rappresentato per la prima volta il 25 giugno 1910 all'Opéra di Parigi. Fu uno dei cavalli di battaglia dei Balletti Russi di Djaghilev. La musica è di Igor' Stravinskij, la coreografia di Mikhail Fokine, le scene di Alexandre Golovine, i costumi di Leon Baste, la direzione di Gabriel Pierné. La partitura doveva essere scritta, in un primo tempo, da Liadov, ma egli desistette lasciando il posto a Stravinskij. In un primo tempo fu scritta a San Pietroburgo la partitura per pianoforte e in seguito venne orchestrata dal compositore nell'aprile del 1910. L'opera è dedicata a Nikolaj Andreevi č Rimskij-Korsakov. È il primo grande balletto del musicista russo, seguito di lì a poco da Petruška nel 1911 e da La sagra della primavera nel 1913, anch'essi commissionati da Diaghilev. Il balletto venne riscritto dallo stesso autore nel 1919 e poi nel 1945. Trama. La trama, ispirata a una fiaba russa, vede lo scontro tra due elementi antitetici: un mago immortale di nome Kašej, in grado di pietrificare gli esseri umani (simbolo del male), e un uccello di fuoco col potere di sfatare gli incantesimi del mago. Gli unici personaggi umani sono Ivan Zarevi č e la principessa prigioniera dell'orco. Ivan, grazie ad una piuma magica donatagli dall'Uccello di fuoco, riuscirà a liberare le principessa costringendo Kašej a danzare fino allo sfinimento. La fiaba. Nel giardino del mostro Kaschchei capita il principe Ivan mentre insegue un magico uccello dalle piume di fuoco. Il giovane riesce a catturarlo ma, dietro le preghiere dell’uccello e la promessa di aiuto, lo libera, ottenendo in cambio una piuma di fuoco.

  • Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents 2014 Revision
    1 Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents 2014 Revision The Office of Health Care Quality is pleased to release the latest revision of the Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents. This manual is a premier publication—serving as a resource for providers, health care facilities, caregivers and families across the nation. In long-term care facilities, meeting nutritional requirements is not as easy as it sounds. It is important to provide a wide variety of food choices that satisfy each resident’s physical, ethnic, cultural, and social needs and preferences. These considerations could last for months or even years. Effective nutritional planning, as well as service of attractive, tasty, well-prepared food can greatly enhance the quality of life for long-term care residents. The Diet Manual for Long Term Care Residents was conceived and developed to provide guidance and assistance to nursing home personnel. It has also been used successfully in community health programs, chronic rehabilitation, and assisted living programs. It serves as a guide in prescribing diets, an aid in planning regular and therapeutic diet menus, and as a reference for developing recipes and preparing diets. The publication is not intended to be a nutrition-care manual or a substitute for individualized judgment of a qualified professional. Also included, is an appendix that contains valuable information to assess residents’ nutritional status. On behalf of the entire OHCQ agency, I would like to thank the nutrition experts who volunteered countless hours to produce this valuable tool. We also appreciate Beth Bremner and Cheryl Cook for typing the manual.

  • 1. Introduction
    1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background to Unilever Sri Lanka Unilever's association with the country, Ceylon at the time, began in the early 1900s with brands such as Sunlight, Lux and Pears Rose being available for sale in the local market. In 1927 imports and distribution was organised with the appointment of a sole agent Sankar Aiyars. In 1938, with the sales of Sunlight reaching 2000 tons and Lux reaching 200 tons Lever Brothers Ceylon Limited was incorporated. This was followed with the establishment of a soap factory in Grandpass Colombo in April 1940. Bakery fats and Margarine manufacture commenced in 1941 and in 1958 the company established its own selling and distribution organisation (Sankalana, 2009). Over the years the organisation expanded and the business activities of Unilever were managed through Lever Brothers Ceylon Limited, Lipton, Brooke Bond, Ceytea, Lever Aqua Products and Premier Foods. The organisation was restructured in 1991 to bring all legal entities under the umbrella of Unilever Ceylon. Since then the business was managed by two divisions namely Consumer Division and Tea Division.
