Ukraine to Launch a Rocket from the Brazilian Space Launch Facility

manish — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 10:44:18 +0000

Ukraine’s objective is to complete all the primary work to launch the Ukrainian rocket Cyclone-4 from the facility in the North Western Brazil by 2013, stated President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych in his interview with Brazilian newspaper O Globo during his official visit to Brazil on October 23-26. Brazil is responsible for the construction of the launch base while Ukrainian constructors are currently working on the carrier rockets.
The strategic project Alcantara Cyclone Space has entered the phase of practical implementation, stated President Yanukovych. “I have no doubt that this project will become a reality soon,” said the Ukrainian leader.
The location of the launching platform is extremely beneficial because of its close proximity to the equator (2°17?S 44°23?W) mentioned the Ukrainian Ambassador to Brazil Igor Grushko in his interview to the journalists, according to UNIAN. He noted that the Alcantara Cyclone Space project is set to be commercially successful. The cost of rocket launch from this location is 20% less than average, said Ambassador Grushko. He also noted that the Ukraine has already invested over USD 130 million. The total project cost is estimated at USD 488 million.
Alcantara Cyclone Space (http://www.alcantaracyclonespace.com) is a binational project born out of the long-lasting negotiations between Brazil and Ukraine. In 1999 the governments of Ukraine and Brazil signed an agreement on space cooperation, but it was not until 2006 that the company Alcantara Cyclone Space was established and the project progressed further.
Cyclone-4 is a three stage expendable launch system. Its advantages include increased fuel efficiency and safety of the launch process due to automatized prelaunch operations. The preparation stage is reduced to under 12 hours and its cost is decreased as the number of personnel needed for the lift-off is smaller.
Ukraine is one of the three successors of the Soviet Union’s space industry. The country is one of the five in the world owning a complete rocket production cycle. Ukrainian space industry companies utilize most of the known space technologies and participate in 50 international space projects. Over the last 10 years Ukraine deployed 120 launchers.
Ukraine occupies one of the world’s leading positions among the rocket launcher producers with the Ukrainian SDO Yuzhnoe having produced over 400 Earth satellites.

NE-TIGER’s “Tang-Jing” Haute Couture Show Opens China International Fashion Week

manish — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 10:40:55 +0000

The Tang Dynasty is considered to be the most prosperous time in Chinese history, when the country’s civilization achieved its greatest heights. The Middle Kingdom reached a peak between Taizong’s “Reign of Zhenguan” to the Kaiyuan-Tianbao period, an era unmatched by any other during that millennium. NE-TIGER has always been a leader in showcasing the best of China’s civilization, reviving the style of the sumptuous clothing worn during the Tang period, bringing back weaving and textile technologies that have nearly been lost and creating a new era of haute couture.

Presenting China’s Hua Fu – a collection assembled as a reflection of the splendor of Tang Dynasty attire and the richness of China’s culture.
NE-TIGER: At the Leading Edge of the Fashion World
NE-TIGER lead off China International Fashion Week with its “Tang-Jing” Fashion Show featuring the Hua Fu Haute Couture Collection in the Golden Hall of Beijing Hotel on October 25. The Tang Dynasty Hua Fu, the national style of dress of that period, combined with the venue, a venue so grand you could think you were in paradise, and the captivating voice of the singer who can warm a heart and touch a soul, combined to move the 500 guests beyond the realms of the five senses. NE-TIGER has again led the Chinese fashion community into new realms and insights.
At the beginning of the show, as the gifted Buddhist-musician Jing Shanyuan sang, the collection was displayed on stage, embodying the essence of Sarasvati and Heart Sutra, touching the heart and soul of each member in the audience. 38 models translated the art of NE-TIGER into a spiritual event touching on each of the five senses.
Commenting on the event, Mr. Zhang Zhifeng stated, “As per the words of Zen, everybody has a pure land in their heart. Today, we will change that pure land into reality. Meanwhile, we also try to influence people around us by purifying our own heart and purifying the environment to create a pure land. NE-TIGER has always pursued a spiritual insight, where we seek to represent the greatness of history, as well as carry forward the essence and splendor of the culture. This is what we want to share tonight.”

Avant même de relever le défi visant à établir si les cadeaux et l’hospitalité sont raisonnables, proportionnés et offerts de bonne foi, les entreprises ont de la difficulté à simplement déterminer la portée et la fréquence de telles dépenses. Visitor health insurance is one among the important travel doucments. Les sociétés ont reçu peu d’instruction à savoir quels renseignements elles doivent collecter et surveiller afin de respecter les règlementations. Par ailleurs, les budgets des entreprises ne disposent pas de sommes suffisantes pour concevoir un outil centralisé de collecte de données consacré à cet aspect particulier du risque.
