King of Nepal to restore democracy

Friday, April 21, 2006In an address to the nation, the king of Nepal, Gyanendra said that he was turning the nation pro-democratic.

“We are committed to multi-party democracy and a constitutional monarchy. Executive power of the kingdom of Nepal, which was in our safekeeping, shall from this day be returned to the people. We hope peace and order is restored to the country by protecting multi-party democracy. We ask the seven-party alliance to recommend the name for the post of prime minister at the earliest,” said the king in his address to the nation today.

Girija Prasad Koirala, the former Prime Minister of Nepal and leader of the opposition alliance said he will meet and discuss the announcement made by the king, before responding.

Earlier, United States Ambassador James Moriarty, had said that “his [the king’s] time is running out” and that “ultimately the king will have to leave if he doesn’t compromise. And by ‘ultimately’ I mean sooner rather than later.”

Real Estate On The French Riviera

Submitted by: Henrik Sellegard

Prices of properties are becoming more and more attractive on the French Riviera.

Is now the right time to be investing in Real Estate on the French Riviera? We say yes. In this declining market we start to see some great real estate bargains, but don’t look for a quick flip you should always be thinking long term in south of France. You should ONLY look for properties that are well situated, with a lot of emphasis on calm areas with no traffic noise and preferably some type of open view, if not sea view is within your budget!

So, lets say you have found a property that is well situated in a calm area with a panoramic sea view. You might ask yourself how long does it normally take to sell such a fantastic property and still get your property’s worth, when selling. We from AzurVilla real estate will always calculate six months to one year to find the correct buyer. This wait is well worth your investment as many of our properties are currently 30% under market value. Secondly we are seeing a steady increase of investors and property hunters which can only translate to steady price increase.

So why is the C te d’Azur, often known in English as the French Riviera, that stretches from Cassis in the west to Menton in the east such an attractive area to invest?

First of all we need to look back into the history to get some of these answers.

It began as a winter health resort for the British upper class at the end of the 18th century as one of the first modern resort areas. With the arrival of the railway in the mid-19th century, it became the playground and vacation spot of British, Russian, and other aristocrats. In the summer, it also played home to many members of the Rothschild family. In the first half of the 20th century it was frequented by artists and writers, including Picasso, Matisse, Wharton, as well as wealthy Americans and Europeans. After World War II it became a popular tourist destination and convention site, such as the Cannes Film festival. Many celebrities, such as Elton John and Brigitte Bardot, have homes in the region.

Now with seemingly endless sunny beaches, charming towns, yachts and celebrities keeps the French Riviera alive like no other place in the world. Some of the more fabled destinations are St-Tropez, Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Villefranche-sur-Mer and St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat as coastal areas and St. Paul de Vence, Mougins and Valbonne as back country destinations.

Finally, and probably, one of the most important reasons why so many invest here is the large diversity and number of good quality Michelin stare restaurants with Proven al gastronomy.

So if you’re ready and can look ahead you will find that we have several properties opportunities between St. Tropez and Monaco that are worth your time.

Some of these properties you can find on our website azurvilla.com for the others you can always drop as an email from our website.

Sweden’s Crown Princess marries long-time boyfriend

Monday, June 21, 2010

Sweden’s first royal wedding since 1976 took place Saturday when Crown Princess Victoria, 32, married her long-time boyfriend and former personal trainer, Daniel Westling, 36. The ceremony took place at Stockholm Cathedral.

Over 1,200 guests, including many rulers, politicians, royals and other dignitaries from across the world, attended the wedding, which cost an estimated 20 million Swedish kronor. Victoria wore a wedding dress with five-metre long train designed by Pär Engsheden. She wore the same crown that her mother, Queen Silvia, wore on her wedding day 34 years previously, also on June 19. Victoria’s father, King Carl XVI Gustaf, walked Victoria down the aisle, which was deemed untraditional by many. In Sweden, the bride and groom usually walk down the aisle together, emphasising the country’s views on equality. Victoria met with Daniel half-way to the altar, where they exchanged brief kisses, and, to the sounds of the wedding march, made their way to the the silver altar. She was followed by ten bridesmaids. The couple both had tears in their eyes as they said their vows, and apart from fumbling when they exchanged rings, the ceremony went smoothly.

Following the ceremony, the couple headed a fast-paced procession through central Stockholm on a horse-drawn carriage, flanked by police and security. Up to 500,000 people are thought to have lined the streets. They then boarded the Vasaorden, the same royal barge Victoria’s parents used in their wedding, and traveled through Stockholm’s waters, accompanied by flyover of 18 fighter jets near the end of the procession. A wedding banquet followed in the in the Hall of State of the Royal Palace.

Controversy has surrounded the engagement and wedding between the Crown Princess and Westling, a “commoner”. Victoria met Westling as she was recovering from bulemia in 2002. He owned a chain of gymnasiums and was brought in to help bring Victoria back to full health. Westling was raised in a middle-class family in Ockelbo, in central Sweden. His father managed a social services centre, and his mother worked in a post office. When the relationship was made public, Westling was mocked as an outsider and the king was reportedly horrified at the thought of his daughter marrying a “commoner”, even though he did so when he married Silvia. Last year, Westling underwent transplant surgery for a congenital kidney disorder. The Swedish public have been assured that he will be able to have children and that his illness will not be passed on to his offspring.

Westling underwent years of training to prepare for his new role in the royal family, including lessons in etiquette, elocution, and multi-lingual small talk; and a makeover that saw his hair being cropped short, and his plain-looking glasses and clothes being replaced by designer-wear.

Upon marrying the Crown Princess, Westling took his wife’s ducal title and is granted the style “His Royal Highness”. He is now known as HRH Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland. He also has his own coat-of-arms and monogram. When Victoria assumes the throne and becomes Queen, Daniel will not become King, but assume a supportive role, similar to that of Prince Phillip, the husband of the United Kingdom’s Queen Elizabeth II.

Whole Foods moves to renewable energy

Wednesday, January 11, 2006

Whole Foods Market, a natural food grocery chain based in Austin, Texas, announced that it intends to use wind energy for all of its electrical needs. This will make the company the largest business to use renewable energy in the United States.

“It’s a sales driver rather than a cost,” Michael Besancon, a regional president for the company, said. “All of those things we do related to our core values: help drive sales, help convince a customer to drive past three or four other supermarkets on the way to Whole Foods.”

Since utility companies send power directly to the national utility grid, Whole Foods will purchase energy credits equivalent to 100% of the energy they use, a total of 458,000 megawatt-hours of wind energy credits per year from Renewable Choice Energy. That’s enough electricity to power 44,000 homes for a year.

Benefits Of Breast Enhancement Pills Fenugreek, Fennel And Saw Palmetto

By Galia Ivanova

Natural breast enhancement is one of the safest and most effective ways to enhance your breast size naturally and effortlessly. Breast enhancement pills are one of the best Natural Breast Enhancement (NBE) methods you can use if you think your breast size is not big enough or if you just want to make you breasts bigger and firmer, more beautiful and sexy. The cost of the full NBE course can fit any family budget.

What you are probably wondering is how breast enhancement pills really work? The answer is very simple. It is all about the all natural and herbal remedies used as ingredients in the breast enhancement pills formulas. Those herbs promote the balanced distribution of estrogen in your body and with enough estrogen you will be able to get fuller and bigger breasts that will make you look fantastic in a sexy top.

Here are some details about each herbal remedy used as ingredient in some of the most popular breast enhancement pills, and how they work to help you get the bigger and firmer breasts you desire:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmrJFxxeDZw[/youtube]

Fenugreek Extract Benefits

Fenugreek contains highest concentration of mucilaginous fiber (mucilage), which is a powerful stimulator of breast enhancement. The chemical compounds in fenugreek have the ability to aid the digestive process and are effective laxative. The herbal remedy is able to regulate blood sugar levels and to lower high cholesterol levels (the harmful type). Fenugreek can be used for external application to reduce inflammation and sooth irritated skin and relieve surface aches and pains.

Fennel Seed Benefits

It is very rich in essential flavonoids that cause estrogenic effects. The boost in secretion (milk secretion in breastfeeding mothers) is the reason for new breast tissue growth (when you are not breastfeeding). The fennel seeds are very commonly used as spice, although the plant itself is considered as herb. It also cleanses the body from toxins. By excreting them fennel acts as a tonic and body stimulant.

Saw Palmetto Benefits

It works by blocking the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. Generally the herb is considered safe. Saw Palmetto breast enhancement properties are discovered more like a side effect that does not require medical attention. The herb is generally used in treating urinary tract infections in men with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).

Test results suggest Saw Palmetto helps stop unwanted body and facial hair growth, as well as helps treating thinning hair. It is good at preventing some types of acne and relieving menstrual symptoms.

Instead of a conclusion

I should just say that using natural breast enhancement herbal supplements not only makes your breasts bigger, firmer and more beautiful, it also helps you solve many common women health problems and issues.

Fenugreek, Fennel and Saw Palmetto are the top three essential and most commonly used herbal remedies as ingredients in breast enhancement products. However they are not the only ones… Stay tuned for some more essential herbs, which benefits I will uncover for you in my next few articles.

Philippine Foreign Secretary Del Rosario to visit China amid South China Sea territorial dispute

Sunday, July 3, 2011

Philippines Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario is scheduled to visit China from July 7 to 9, raising hopes that a territorial dispute between the two countries may be resolved.

A six-nation dispute has escalated in the sea concerning territorial claims to several islands including the Spratly Islands. The area is thought to be rich in natural gas and oil. Both the Philippines and China wish to have a peaceful resolution to this conflict. “I’ve been invited to Beijing and we’re looking for peaceful means to settle the challenges facing us,” said Del Rosario.

The news comes after the United States and the Philippines began a series of naval exercises last week in the South China Sea, scheduled to last for 11 days. A Philippine military commander stated that the drills are part of an annual series of activities taking place under a defense agreement between the two countries and have nothing to do with the territorial dispute.

The Philippines maintains a close relation with the U.S. as a former territory of the nation.

The drills come at a time when several competing disputes in the South China Sea have begun to intensify. “Since February 25th, we actually have noted as many as nine intrusions of different varieties, but clearly becoming more aggressive and more frequent,” said Del Rosario. Several countries in Asia, including China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia, and Taiwan, have territorial claims in the area spanning the Spratly and Paracel Islands. The region may be rich in oil and gas reserves. The US and Philippines have urged the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to address the conflict.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has argued that the United States would remain neutral regarding the disputes. She has also said that the United States has a “national interest” in freedom of navigation, respect for international law, and unimpeded, lawful commerce in the South China Sea.” Both countries are bound by a 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty.

On June 27, the US Senate unanimously passed a motion condemning “the use of force by naval and maritime security vessels from China in the South China Sea.” China, on the other hand, has stated that it will not use force to resolve disputes in the South China Sea.

Green Day dominates at MTV’s 2005 Video Music Awards

Tuesday, August 30, 2005

MTV‘s 2005 Video Music Awards were rather unbalanced this year, with Green Day’s capture of seven of the eight awards for which they were nominated. The awards were for their single “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” off of the American Idiot album. Up-and-coming rock bands Fall Out Boy and The Killers also won awards. Kelly Clarkson came out with two awards.

The event was hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida, USA, which was unaffected by the passing of Hurricane Katrina through the area or by the shooting of rap producer “Suge” Knight.

Some notable events was Combs “conducting” a string orchestra in memory of slain rapper Notorious B.I.G while his song played, fellow rapper Snoop Dogg came out to sing the last verse of B.I.G’s hit song “Warning”.

Green Day arrived at the event in their rusted green convertible from the Holiday and Boulevard of Broken Dreams music videos. They kicked off the show with a performance of Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

R. Kelly performed a new segment to his soap opera song “Trapped In The Closet”. Kelly remains a chart-topper even though the star is awaiting trial for child pornography charges.

Marion “Suge” Knight was shot in the leg at a private party, hosted by Kanye West, at the Shore Club Saturday night, one day before the main event. He was taken to nearby Mount Sinai Hospital where he was treated for the non-lethal gunshot wound.

SpaceX successfully launches its first crewed spaceflight

Sunday, May 31, 2020

SpaceX successfully launched its first crewed mission at 1922 UTC yesterday from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, US with NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley in a Crew Dragon capsule atop a Falcon 9 rocket. This was the first launch of a crewed spacecraft from the United States since NASA’s final Space Shuttle mission in July 2011 — a mission Hurley piloted.

SpaceX, backed by entrepreneur Elon Musk, is the first private company to send astronauts into space. The company has engineered and operated reusable rockets, potentially reducing the overall cost of future space missions. Shortly after the launch, the Falcon 9 rocket’s first stage disengaged and returned to an autonomous spaceport drone ship off the coast, to be refurbished and reused on a future mission. Behnken and Hurley are slated to catch up to the International Space Station (ISS) for a stay of one to four months, docking today at 1429 UTC.

The originally planned launch on Wednesday afternoon, local time, was scrubbed due to inclement weather conditions less than 20 minutes before scheduled launch time, with the schedule pushed back to yesterday. Unlike Wednesday’s scrub, however, yesterday’s launch proceeded without issue. Hurley, on radio following the minutes-long ride to low Earth orbit, said, “It was incredible”.

SpaceX’s launch is the latest development in a program initiated in earnest by NASA’s 2014 selection of SpaceX, along with Boeing, to be an initial commercial contractor providing transportation for NASA astronauts to the ISS. Boeing’s first crewed mission is reportedly expected to launch next year. Since the retirement of the Space Shuttles in 2011, NASA has relied on Russian Soyuz spacecraft to transport its astronauts to the orbiting space station.

Hurley, along with his fellow crew members aboard the final Shuttle mission, had left a small U.S. flag aboard the ISS, to be retrieved when the U.S. space program was once again able to launch astronauts to the outpost. Hurley and Behnken, when they depart, plan to return this flag to Earth after a nearly nine-year hiatus to commemorate the milestone. The exact timing of their return is not set, however, as it depends on the continued performance of the Crew Dragon spacecraft, and on when the next Crew Dragon mission occurs, which NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine has said may be ready to launch by late August.

Bridenstine remarked of the remainder of the test flight, “I’m breathing a sigh of relief, but I will also tell you I’m not gonna celebrate until Bob and Doug are home safely.” Hurley, for his part, paraphrased the first U.S. citizen in space, Alan Shepard, commenting before launch on the occasion of the United States’ return to human spaceflight capability: “SpaceX we’re go for launch. Let’s light this candle.”
