  • Capital Pride Festival
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 16, 2014 CONTACT: Michelle Mobley, Director of Communications [email protected] or 202-359-1957 Capital Pride Announces FIFTH Headliner for the 2014 Capital Pride Festival. “Capital Pride Festival” will take place on Sunday, June 8, 2014 WASHINGTON, DC -- Capital Pride is pleased to announce Rita Ora as one of five featured headliners at this year’s Capital Pride Festival. The 39th Annual Capital Pride Festival takes place along Pennsylvania Avenue, between 3rd and 7th Streets. 2014 is primed to be the year of Rita Ora. She was unstoppable and dominated the UK charts with the release of her #1 certified platinum debut album, "ORA." The Roc Nation / Columbia signing is now readying to release her newest single, "I Will Never Let You Down." Produced by chart-topping, Grammy nominated, multi- platinum producer Calvin Harris, the new song is a fitting introduction into her sophomore album scheduled for a Summer 2014 international release. Rita had a phenomenal rise in 2012, which continued in 2013. She was the only artist to have three #1 singles in a row and proved herself as a force to be reckoned with on the stage, from her European tour with rock giants Coldplay, supporting Drake and playing every major UK music festival, along with her headline "Radioactive" tour across the UK. The multi-Brit nominee is not only reaching to new levels musically, she is also building a fashion and business acumen with her collaborations with brands such as DKNY, Rimmel and Adidas. The U.S. Capitol has served as the iconic backdrop to the Capitol Stage for hundreds of performances from local and national entertainers, politicians, and activists.

In support of its request the licensee has submitted an application pack (delicensing safety case) to ONR as evidence in support of its claim to have met the requirement of section 5(3) of the Nuclear Installations Act 1965 that in it its opinion there has ceased to be any danger from ionising radiations from anything on the licensed site. Background The licensee, GEHC, owns and operates two licensed sites under the Nuclear Installations Act 1965: one in England in Amersham, Buckinghamshire (the Grove Centre); and the CNLS.

  • Minister Under Fire Over Serbian Offensive
    October 3 - 16, 2008 Issue No. 1 €1.50 COMPLIMENTARY COPY POLITICS Minister Under Fire Over Kosovo Slams Belgrade's Serbian Offensive Partition Claims As Belgrade approaches General Assembly vote on Kosovo with confidence, opposition in Kosovo accuses foreign minister of presiding over a debacle. he Kosovo issue will again preoccupy minds at the UN page 4 Tnext week – not at the Security Council, as it did a year ago, but at the General Assembly. COMMENT On October 8, the 192 member states will vote on Serbia’s bid to Echoes of the Balkans seek the opinion of the in the Georgia Crisis International Court of Justice, ICJ, on the legality of Kosovo’s independence. Only 47 of these countries have recognised Kosovo’s independ- ence, and it appears that not all of them will vote against the Serbian resolution. Sources in Brussels told Prishtina Insight that EU coun- page 5 tries had decided to abstain from the vote in a bloc “due to the fact that not all EU member states REAL ESTATE have recognised the independ- ence of Kosovo,” as one Brussels- Dangers Abound in based diplomat put it. Kosovo Building Boom So far, 21 EU countries have recognised Kosovo. Five oppose granting recognition and a sixth, Portugal, has neither recognised Kosovo nor publicly opposed it. Under the General Assembly rules, countries abstaining from the vote on October 8 will be counted as not voting. This means that for the case to go to page 7 the ICJ, Serbia needs the support of only a simple majority of countries that actually vote.

  • Assessing the Risk of Terrorist Attacks on Nuclear Facilities Summary
    POST Report 222 July 2004 Assessing the risk of terrorist attacks on nuclear facilities Summary Assessing the risk of terrorist attacks on nuclear facilities July 2004 Report 222 Summary The events of September 11th 2001 heightened concerns over the potential for terrorist attacks on nuclear facilities. The purpose of this report is to provide Parliamentarians with an overview of what is publicly known about the risks and the consequences of such an attack, either at a facility in the UK, or overseas, with very direct impacts in the UK. This report identifies the main issues of concern according to reports in the public domain, and highlights areas where understanding is limited due to lack of publicly available information. The key points made in this report are as follows: • There is sufficient information in the public domain to identify possible ways terrorists might bring about a release of radioactive material from a nuclear facility. However this information is not sufficient to draw conclusions on the likelihood of a successful attack, or the size and nature of any release. • After September 11th 2001 additional protection measures have been put in place to increase security and to strengthen emergency planning at and around nuclear facilities. However, full details are not in the public domain. • Nuclear power plants were not designed to withstand some forms of terrorist attack, such as large aircraft impact, but existing safety and security regimes provide some defence. • Published reports suggest that, in a worst case scenario, the impact of large aircraft on certain facilities could cause a significant release of radioactive material with effects over a wide area.
