  • Drones World Tour’ Till Biografer Världen Över För En Enda Kväll - 12 Juli
    2018-05-15 10:21 CEST MUSE SLÄPPER ‘DRONES WORLD TOUR’ TILL BIOGRAFER VÄRLDEN ÖVER FÖR EN ENDA KVÄLL - 12 JULI Muse meddelar att de kommer att släppa sin ambitiösa "Drones World Tour" till biografer världen över den 12 juli för en enda exklusiv visning, genom Trafalgar Releasing. De exklusiva visningarna kommer ta med det världsberömda multi-platinumsäljande bandet och deras Drones "in the round spectacular" till storskärmen. För mer information, inklusive biografer, vänligen besök -musedrones.film. Filmad och inspelad under flera turnédatum 2016 kommer "Drones World Tour" att visa upp Muse största hits, bland annat "Psycho", "Madness", "Uprising", "Plug in Baby", "Supermassive Black Hole" och "Knights av Cydonia "mfl. Filmen innehåller aldrig tidigare sedda specialeffekter, som perfekt kompletterar den otroliga inspirationsnivån av kreativ scenproduktion Muse fans har kommit att förvänta sig och säkerställer den ultimata ljud / visuella upplevelsen. Utöver en exklusiv inblick från bandet som talar om det kreativa konceptet, inkluderas även höjdpunkter från showen såsom automatiserade drönare som flyger över publiken, jätteprojektioner och avancerade, perfekt utformade LED-laserverk som skapar en hemsk och dystopisk värld. The New York Times har beskrivit att uppleva Muse live såhär: “an endless build-up, heading for one peak after another — is what a Muse concert sets out to deliver by every means available”. Matt Bellamy sa: "The symbiosis between humanity and technology has always been something I am interested by. Drones just seem to be a very interesting modern metaphor for what that represents…You want to leave people with the idea that they ask the question themselves about the role of technology in our lives and whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing.” Marc Allenby, CEO av Trafalgar Releasing - en prisbelönt marknadsledare i global-event distribution - sa: "We're delighted to be working on this innovative and unforgettable show from Muse, a group that time and again illustrate that they are one of the world's best live bands.

From this date, all new models of frames and forks used by licence holders in road (RD), time trial (TT), track (TR) and cyclo-cross (CX) events must be approved on the basis of the Approval Protocol for Frames and Forks available from the UCI website. Approval by the UCI certifies that the new equipment meets the shape requirements set out in the UCI regulations. However, this approval does not certify in any case the safety of the equipment which must meet the applicable official quality and safety standards, in accordance with Article 1.3.002 of the UCI regulations. The models which are subject to the approval procedure are: all new models of frames and forks used by licence holders in road, track or cyclo-cross events, all models of frames and forks under development on 1 January 2011 which had not yet reached the production stage (the date of the order form of the moulds is evidence), any changes made to the geometry of existing models after 1 January 2011. Models on the market, at the production stage or already manufactured on 1 January 2011 are not required to be approved during the transition stage. However, the non-approved models have to comply in any case with the UCI technical regulations (Articles 1.3.001 to 1.3.025) and are subjects to the commissaires decision during events.

  • Hibrit Çim Yönteminin Futbol Sahalarında Uygulanırlığı Buket ÖZDEMİR IŞIK1 1Avrasya Üniversitesi, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Trabzon, Türkiye
    Vol. 5, No.2, 1-10, 2017 Research Article Cilt 5, Sayı 2, 1-10, 2017 Araştırma Makalesi Hibrit Çim Yönteminin Futbol Sahalarında Uygulanırlığı Buket ÖZDEMİR IŞIK1 1Avrasya Üniversitesi, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Trabzon, Türkiye. ÖZ Çim zeminlerle kaplı alanlara bakıldığında, farklı alan kullanımlarının olduğu görülmektedir. Özellikle yoğunluğu fazla olan ve kapladığı alan bakımından geniş alanlara sahip (futbol, ragbi, golf vb.) spor sahaları, açık alan konser ve rekreasyon alanlarında basılabilir çim zeminlerin kolay deforme olması sebebiyle yerine alternatif çözüm önerileri araştırılmaya başlanmıştır. Araştırmalar sonrasında ilk olarak suni (sentetik) çim geliştirilmiştir. Daha sonra 1990’lı yıllarda hibrit çim yöntemi bulunmuş ve spor sahalarında uygulanmaya başlanmıştır. 20 milyon yapay liflerle güçlendirilmiş ve yarı yapay yarı doğal çim olan bu yöntem toprak altına makinalar ile enjekte edilerek doğal çim köklerinin güçlenmesini sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada da Dünya’da 40, Türkiye’de 5 futbol sahasında uygulanan hibrit çim yönteminin Trabzon Medikal Park Arena ile Rize Çaykur Didi Futbol Statlarındaki uygulama aşamaları ve doğal çim zeminlere oranla avantajları ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Yeni bir buluş olan bu yöntemin ilerleyen zamanlarda açık alan kullanımları için; zemin ve uygulama sonrası bakım, uzun ömürlü olma, kolay bozulmama gibi faktörler açısından kullanım kapasitesine göre daha iyi sonuçlar vereceği düşünülmüştür. Anahtar kelimeler: Hibrit, hibrit çim, suni çim, futbol sahası, grassmaster Applicability Of Hybrid Grass Method For Football Pitches ABSTRACT Based on the grounds covered with grass, we see there are different usages. Due to the fact that walkable grass grounds in sport arenas particularly having density and covering a huge ground (soccer, rugby, golf…etc.), open air concert areas and recreation areas were easily deformed, alternative solution proposals were searched out.

  • Case Study Ondrej Nepela Arena
    CASE STUDY ONDREJ NEPELA ARENA BUILDING TYPE SPORT HALL CLIENT INGSTEEL, S.R.O. INVESTOR BRATISLAVA CITY ARCHITECT DUŠAN FISCHER AND TEAM LOCATION BRATISLAVA, SLOVAKIA QBISS ONE TOOK PART AT ICE HOCKEY WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP Slovakian for the first time in world ice hockey history hosted the world’s best teams at the 75th IIHF World Championship. Bratislava and Košice with their new sport halls hosted all the matches. Trimo was part of this championship, as the Bratislava sport hall includes 4,000 m2 of the Qbiss One* facade system. The World Championship demanded a complete transformation. A COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION Ondrej Nepela Arena was the central scene of the 2011 World Championship. The “granny” of the sport halls (it’s history goes back to 1940) was undergoing a thorough transformation to meet the demands of the championship. The main objective of the project was to increase the capacities of the spectator area, build a warmup hall, as well as increase safety and comfort by removing the support columns which were blocking direct views. The latest state-of-the-art timing and signalling technology has been installed and underground garage has been expanded by more than 760 new parking spaces. Trimo participated by supplying the new modular facade system Qbiss One, which was used on the outside envelope of the sport hall. THE ESSENCE OF A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT LIES IN DETAILS For this project Trimo developed a prefabricated Qbiss One corner element, which connects two sides by an angle. The speciality of this solution is that there are two facades joining under angle of 18° with two different module widths by one corner element.

  • CRONYISM and the NEP Chedet.Co.Cc August 06, 2008 by Dr
    CRONYISM AND THE NEP Chedet.co.cc August 06, 2008 by Dr. Mahathir Mohamad 1. When the New Economic Policy began to show some results in the early eighties, the Western Press and local opponents of the Government began to talk about cronyism. Whoever succeeded in a developing country like Malaysia, did so because they were the chosen favourites of the Government, particularly the head of the Government. 2. I came in for virulent attacks because some Malays actually did well in business. They were all labelled my cronies whether they were indeed my cronies or not. Anyone who succeeded was immediately defined as my crony. 3. Many close friends, relatives and members of my family who failed in business would not be called cronies. 4. It is not the actual relation or association with the leader that qualifies one to be the crony of the Prime Minister. It is the success of the individual. Failures, no matter how close they may be to the Prime Minister would not be called cronies. 5. This left me in a quandary. As head of the Government I had to ensure the success of the NEP objective of reducing the disparities between the bumiputeras and the non-bumis. This reduction must be achieved at all levels, not excluding the rich and the very rich. It wouldn't do to have parity among the low income and middle income only, while big businesses are all in the hands of the non-Bumiputera millionaires. 6. While most Bumiputeras who were given shares and opportunities to do business abused these opportunities, a few tried seriously and some of them succeeded.
