  • Foro Italico, 4-8 Settembre 2019
    Foro Italico, 4-8 settembre 2019 Le Fivb Beach Finals al Foro Italico di Roma Il Foro Italico e la Capitale tornano protagonisti del circuito mondiale del beach volley. Dal 4 all’8 settembre, infatti, andranno in scena le Finals del World Tour 2019; ultimo appuntamento della stagione internazionale che vedrà scendere in campo le migliori coppie al mondo. Sulla sabbia capitolina ci saranno in palio fama, gloria, un ricco montepremi e molti, importanti punti validi per il ranking olimpico. Il Foro Italico, riconosciuto universalmente da atleti e addetti ai lavori come una delle migliori location del pianeta, torna dunque alle luci della ribalta a distanza di cinque anni dall’ultimo Grand Slam organizzato nel 2013. Il primo ciclo di joint ventur tra Federazione Italiana Pallavolo e l’allora CONI Servizi SpA diede vita a un quinquennio di grandi eventi tra i quali i Campionati del Mondo del 2011 che sancirono la consacrazione in Italia della disciplina più seguita ai Giochi Olimpici. La rassegna iridata fece registrare numeri importanti in termini di partecipazione di pubblico; un boom che contribuì successivamente all’ingresso della pallavolo nel complesso sportivo italiano (2014 Italia-Polonia e 2015 Italia-Brasile di World League; 2018 l’esordio degli azzurri nei Campionati del Mondo sotto lo sguardo del Presidente della Repubblica) che ha così accolto nella sua lunga storia un numero sempre maggiore di discipline. L’attesa è notevole dunque per un evento che spera di celebrare un grande risultato in termini di pubblico, di seguito e sperando in una affermazione delle coppie italiane che mai sono salite sul gradino più alto del podio a Roma.

Apart from Hausa which is a special case considering its diffusion on a very !arge area where sometimes it is spoken as a lingua franca, other Chadic languages have been in linguistic contact with Arabic, too. This paper illustrates the diffusion of Arabic loans among those Chadic languages for which it was possible to collect material through dictionaries and other sources listed at the end in References. As far as I know this is the first survey in Chadic languages on this topic, besides Hausa. Tue difficulty to do such work relates to the scarcity and sometimes inaccessability2) even ofpublished data. Also, works of only the last few decades are reliable. Tue languages taken into consideration are: Bidiya, Kotoko, Lame, Mafa, Mokilko, Musgu, Pero, Tangale and Tumak.

  • Fútbol Argentino: Crónicas Y Estadísticas
    Fútbol Argentino: Crónicas y Estadísticas Asociación del Fútbol Argentino - 1ª División – 1937 Luis Alberto Colussi Carlos Alberto Guris Victor Hugo Kurhy Fútbol Argentino: Crónicas y Estadísticas. A.F.A. - 1ª División - 1937 2 1937 - River Plate, un holgado campeón. Después del ensayo de 1936, año en el que se dividió el campeonato de 34 fechas en dos de 17, consagrando a dos campeones: San Lorenzo y River Plate, en 1937 la AFA decidió volver a los tradicionales torneos largos, con partido y “revancha”. Esta forma de disputa permitió a los equipos grandes, sacar una enorme diferencia a los de menor convocatoria, al punto que entre el primero (River Plate) y el último (Quilmes) hubo 48 puntos de distancia, cuando hubo 68 en disputa. La gran innovación para 1937 fue la implementación, por primera vez en la etapa profesional, de los descensos y ascensos de categoría. La reglamentación estableció que bajarían a la Segunda División los equipos que ocupasen los dos últimos puestos de la tabla de posiciones. Asimismo se dispuso que un solo club de la segunda categoría subiese a la Primera División, por lo que en la temporada 1938, la cantidad de participantes en primera se vería reducido a 17. Desarrollo del torneo. A nadie le extrañó que River Plate fuese uno de los protagonistas del torneo. Lo que sí resultó llamativo fue la facilidad que tuvo el hasta entonces club del barrio de La Boca, para imponerse a sus rivales y sacar una amplia ventaja, que fue incrementando con el correr de las fechas.
