title: Aagadu (soundtrack)

text:
Aagadu is the feature film soundtrack composed by S. Thaman for the Telugu film of the same name directed by Srinu Vaitla which stars Mahesh Babu, Tamannaah and Sonu Sood. This also marks Thaman's 50th film as a music composer. The soundtrack consists of 5 songs and a Theme music all composed by Thaman while the lyrics were penned by Sri Mani and Bhaskarabhatla Ravikumar. The film's soundtrack was released on 15 August 2014 through Lahari Music by hosting a promotional event at Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad. The soundtrack opened to positive reception from critics as well as audience and was highly successful.

Development
S. Thaman was selected as the music director of the film during the film's primary stages. This marked his third consecutive collaboration with Srinu Vaitla and third collaboration with Mahesh Babu. He was also the part of the technical crew of Dookudu which was also produced by 14 Reels Entertainment, directed by Srinu Vaitla and starring Mahesh Babu. Before the commencement of principal photography of the film, the music sitting sessions began in London in late July 2013 in which apart from Thaman, Srinu Vaitla and Mahesh Babu were present when the latter was busy with shooting for his film 1: Nenokkadine. On 28 October 2013 it was reported that Thaman started composing the music for this film and the Title song was being scored first. In early April 2014, it was reported that Thaman is insistent that Mahesh should sing a song in the film and is also taking the help of director Srinu Vaitla to convince him for the same. A source close to the unit says that the actor has asked for four days’ time before he gives his nod. Later Thaman said to the media that Mahesh is going to sing a song in the film. On 6 July 2014 Thaman went to Bellary to compose a song for the film and Sreenu Vaitla, Mahesh Babu participated in the music sessions.

On 11 July 2014 Thaman confirmed that the final composing schedule is underway on whose completion the composing of all the songs would come to an end. Thaman also informed later that the works regarding the item number in the album is in full-swing and added that he has received good inputs from Srinu Vaitla. It was known in mid-July 2014 that Shruti Haasan sang a song in this film's soundtrack. She sang the item number in the soundtrack to which she danced in the film and the song was recorded at Thaman's studio on 25 July 2014 which was confirmed by both of them and Srinu Vaitla in their respective Twitter pages. Shruti Haasan said that it was a different experience to sing that song which Thaman claimed as the highlight song of the album. On 3 August 2014 Thaman confirmed that the compositions for the songs have been completed and it was known that the soundtrack consists of 6 songs. It was known later that Bhaskarabhatla Ravikumar penned 3 songs in the film's soundtrack and Thaman expressed his confidence that one of the three songs titled Aaja Saroja will be a chart buster similar to the success of the song Sir Osthara from Businessman while the other two came out very well.

Release
In early February 2014, it was reported that the film's audio would release on 31 August 2014. In mid-February 2014, according to TFI's buzz the film makers planned to release the audio of the film on 31 May 2014 to coincide with the occasion of Krishna's birthday. However, after the declaration of the film's first look launch on 31 May 2014, the previous reports weren't taken into consideration. During an interaction with the media on 26 March 2014, the owner of Lahari Music Manohar Naidu confirmed that they purchased the audio rights of the film's soundtrack. In the end of May 2014, it was confirmed that the film's audio would be released on 9 August 2014 on the eve of Mahesh Babu's birthday. But in mid-July 2014, reports emerged that the audio may release either on the scheduled date or in mid-August 2014 and an official confirmation on these reports were awaited. Later, it was confirmed that the film's audio would be released on 31 August 2014 on the eve of Mahesh Babu's son Gautham Krishna Ghattamaneni's birthday.

However, there were reports which said that the film's soundtrack would release on 28 August 2014. Those reports were confirmed later in the third week of August 2014 and it was announced that the film's soundtrack would release on 29 August 2014, coinciding with Ganesh Chathurthi by hosting a grand promotional event at Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad with fans of Mahesh being given the importance. On 8 August 2014 the makers announced that the audio launch has been preponed to 15 August 2014. Shankar attended the film's audio launch as the chief guest along with Thaman. Mahesh attended the audio launch along with his wife Namrata Shirodkar and his parents Krishna and Vijaya Nirmala. The rest of the film's cast and crew except Tamannaah were present at the event. Later it was known that Tamannaah couldn't attend the film's audio launch because of the shoot of S. S. Rajamouli's Baahubali at Mahabaleshwar.

Marketing
As a part of the promotions for the film's audio launch, a statewide contest named "Meelo Evaru Superstar SUPER SuperFan" was launched on 8 August 2014. A statement was issued regarding the same which stated the contest's process. A specially designed van would travel to six centers like Vishakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Khammam, Warangal, Tirupathi and Kurnool starting from 8 August to 10 August. It will station itself at colleges, malls and theaters and an anchor will ask questions about Mahesh and his films to the actor's fans assembled. Selected fans who give out the right answer would win a chance to play a specially designed game on Mahesh and his films on a computer inside the van. The best fan with the most right answers will be identified and shortlisted in each center. 12 people will be selected in this way and they would be invited to the audio launch and will be called onto the stage and a game will be played in the presence of Mahesh and the winner will be selected and be crowned by the Mahesh himself as the "Superstar SUPER Superfan" with a special gift.

It was also known that the audio launch event will be aired live on Gemini TV & Studio N and the audio launch & promotions are conceived, managed and marketed by Showtime Entertainments in association with 14 Reels Entertainment. It was reported that the audio promos of the songs in the soundtrack will be released on 14 August 2014. On that day, the audio release poster was released which also wished the people on the eve of Independence Day. The audio launch event was streamed online since 6:30 PM IST. The soundtrack disc was unveiled by Shankar who attended the event as the chief guest.

Reception
The film's soundtrack received very good response from the audience within few hours of its release with a couple of songs turning into instant hits. Reviewing the soundtrack, The Times of India wrote "All in all, Thaman has come up with peppy and lively album that'll make music lovers groove to almost all the soundtracks." IndiaGlitz gave a review stating "From word go, Aagadu is all about the 'Feel of Thaman'. An album that is customized to reach out to the vast fan base of Mahesh Babu, a complaint one can have about the songs is that most of them sound like item songs religiously sung by item girls and boys." 123telugu.com gave a positive review stating "On the whole, Thaman does complete justice to his 50th album, and makes it a rocking score. Aagadu, Naari Naari and Bhel Puri are instant chart busters, and are our picks. The entire album is quite catchy and caters to every section of the audience. A sure shot winner, which will only add to the craze and success of the film." way2movies.com termed the soundtrack as a "perfect half century from Thaman" in their review. Milliblog termed the soundtrack a "Largely humdrum material" in their review.

title: Danish Rugby League Championship

text:
The Danish Rugby League Championship is the contest for the domestic championship in rugby league.  As there are two clubs in Denmark, Copenhagen RLFC and Jutland RLFC, this competition is combined with the Danish State of Origin championship.

Prior to 2013, rugby league in Denmark had been entirely based around the Denmark national rugby league team.  The founding of two clubs Copenhagen RLFC and Jutland RLFC in 2013 enabled domestic games to be played, alongside the Pan Scandinavian League.  Although two games are played per year, an aggregate score is not kept, in order to ensure each game remains relevant.  The winner of the match becomes the domestic champions.  Copenhagen RLFC have won all three games thus far, meaning they are reigning champions.

title: Persian pottery

text:
Persian pottery or Iranian pottery is the pottery made by the artists of Persia (Iran) and its history goes back to early Neolithic Age (7th millennium BCE). Agriculture gave rise to the baking of clay, and the making of utensils by the people of Iran.  Through the centuries, Persian potters have responded to the demands and changes brought by political turmoil by adopting and refining newly introduced forms and blending them into their own culture. This innovative attitude has survived through time and influenced many other cultures around the world.

There were two types of earthenware that were prevalent in Iran around 4,000 BC: red and black ceramics that were simplistic in their decorative style. As the art expanded, earthenware incorporated geometric designs which resulted in a more developed decorative style. This increasingly complex style was accompanied by the creation of a wider variety of the kinds of pottery that were made.

In the prehistoric period, the production of vessels included the mixture of clay, small pieces of various plants and straws, and water. When these ingredients were mixed together, they formed a very hard paste which essentially became the paste used for the base for creating all vessels in Iran. The creation of Vessels differed in the shape because they were made by hand. Around the 4th millennium BCE, the quality of vessel production enhanced because the potter's wheel was introduced. This table was used to produce symmetrically shaped, and better quality vessels.

The Islamic prohibition on using vessels made of precious metal at the table meant that a new market for luxury ceramics opened up. This allowed the pre-Islamic elites of the earlier Persian empires to produce fancy glazes such as lustreware and high-quality painted decoration. Overall, Persian pottery expanded in their use of tools and styles to improve art production.

Early pottery from Susa

Susa was firmly within the Sumerian Uruk cultural sphere during the Uruk period. An imitation of the entire state apparatus of Uruk, proto-writing, cylinder seals with Sumerian motifs, and monumental architecture, is found at Susa. Susa may have been a colony of Uruk. As such, the periodization of Susa corresponds to Uruk; Early, Middle and Late Susa II periods (3800–3100 BCE) correspond to Early, Middle, and Late Uruk periods.

Shortly after Susa was first settled 6000 years ago, its inhabitants erected a temple on a monumental platform that rose over the flat surrounding landscape. The exceptional nature of the site is still recognizable today in the artistry of the ceramic vessels that were placed as offerings in a thousand or more graves near the base of the temple platform. Nearly two thousand pots were recovered from the cemetery and now, most of them now are located in the Louvre; one such vessel is the Bushel with ibex motifs. The vessels found are eloquent testimony to the artistic and technical achievements of their makers, and they hold clues about the organization of the society that commissioned them. Painted ceramic vessels from Susa in the earliest first style are a late, regional version of the Mesopotamian Ubaid ceramic tradition that spread across the Near East during the fifth millennium B.C.

Susa I style was very much a product of the past and of influences from contemporary ceramic industries in the mountains of western Iran. The recurrence in close association of vessels of three types—a drinking goblet or beaker, a serving dish, and a small jar—implies the consumption of three types of food, apparently thought to be as necessary for life in the after world as it is in this one. Ceramics of these shapes, which were painted, constitute a large proportion of the vessels from the cemetery. Others are course cooking-type jars and bowls with simple bands painted on them and were probably the grave goods of the sites of humbler citizens as well as adolescents and, perhaps, children. The pottery is carefully made by hand. Although a slow wheel may have been employed, the asymmetry of the vessels and the irregularity of the drawing of encircling lines and bands indicate that most of the work was done freehand.

Early Islamic period

The Samanid period saw the creation of epigraphic pottery. These pieces were typically earthenware vessels with black slip lettering in Kufic script painted on a base of white slip. These vessels would typically be inscribed with benedictions or adages. Samarqand and Nishapur were both centers of production for this kind of pottery.

Nishapur is a city located in North-east Iran, and was founded by the Sasanian ruler Shapur I around 241–272 AD. This city fell under the rule of Islam around 651 and essentially became a city of flourishing arts and crafts. Some of the art produced was earthenware, glass, metalwork, coins, decorative walls, and carved and painted stucco (Wilkinson, 26). The production of earthenware vessels, ceramics, and other forms of art were being exported around their neighboring villages. This kept their political power on the rise because they were able to dictate the areas where their art could be imported. Ceramics was one of the art that was imported and unique to the neighboring cities of Nishapur. One of the most common group of ceramic was called buff ware.  The buff ware are characterized by images with purple and black outline painted on to the vessel. The buff ware also included the mixture of yellow and green glazes.

Seljuk period

Seljuk pottery, produced when Iran was part of the Seljuk Empire, is often considered the finest period of Persian pottery, and was certainly the most innovative.  Kashan was the main, perhaps the only centre of production for the three main types of fine wares, lustreware, underglaze painted ware and polychrome overglaze painted mina'i ware.  All used a new fritware (or "stonepaste") body developed in Persia under the Seljuks.  This took a new white glaze very well, and allowed thinner walls with some of the translucency of Chinese porcelain; this was already imported into Persia, and represented the main competition for local fine wares.  This "white ware" body was used for a variety of styles of decoration, all showing great advances in sophistication.

This golden age largely came to an end with the  Mongol invasion of Persia starting in 1219. Kashan itself was not sacked or destroyed, but the Seljuk elite who were the customers for its wares were almost wholly destroyed.  It took some decades before the new Mongol masters developed a taste for fine pottery.

Mina'i ware

Innovations in Seljuk pottery include the production of mina'i ware (meaning "enamelled ware"), developed in Kashan in the decades leading up to the Mongol invasion of Persia in 1219, after which production ceased.  It has been described as "probably the most luxurious of all types of ceramic ware produced in the eastern Islamic lands during the medieval period". The ceramic body of white-ish fritware or stonepaste is fully decorated with detailed paintings using several colours, usually including figures.

It is significant as the first pottery to use overglaze enamels, painted over the ceramic glaze fixed by a main glost firing; after painting the wares were given a second firing at a lower temperature. "Mina'i", a term only used for these wares much later, means "enamelled" in the Persian language.  This technique much later became the standard method of decorating the best European and Chinese porcelain, though it is not clear that there was a connection between this and the earlier Persian use of the technique. As in other periods and regions when overglaze enamels were used, the purpose of the technique was to expand the range of colours available to painters beyond the very limited group that could withstand the temperature required for the main firing of the body and glaze, which in the case of these wares was about 950 °C. The period also introduced underglaze decoration to Persian pottery, around 1200, and later mina'i pieces often combine both underglaze and overglaze decoration; the former may also be described as inglaze.

Most pieces are dated imprecisely as, for example, "late 12th or early 13th century", but the few inscribed dates begin in the 1170s and end in 1219. Gilded pieces are often dated to around or after 1200. It is assumed that the style and subjects in the painting of mina'i ware were drawn from contemporary Persian manuscript painting and wall painting. It is known these existed, but no illustrated manuscripts or murals from the period before the Mongol conquest have survived, leaving the painting on the pottery as the best evidence of that style.

Most pieces are bowls, cups, and a range of pouring vessels: ewers, jars, and jugs, only a handful very large. There are some pieces considered to be begging bowls, or using the shape associated with that function. Tiles are rare, and were perhaps designed as centrepieces surrounded by other materials, rather than placed in groups. Mina'i tiles found in situ by archaeologists at Konya in modern Turkey were probably made there by itinerant Persian artists.  Sherds of mina'i ware have been excavated from "most urban sites in Iran and Central Asia" occupied during the period, although most writers believe that nearly all production was in Kashan.

One of the most famous examples of the mina'i ware technique is the large bowl now at the Freer Gallery in Washington DC. This image depicts a battle that occurred between the Turkish emirs in the Northwest regions of Iran. The front of the plate depicts a siege of the castle, and the back portrayed hunting. This plate is one of the largest haft in existence. It incorporates inscriptions used to identify the protagonist of the story. The landscapes and architectural elements used in the Freer Gallery's Siege Scene plate makes the art unique. The overall story of the plate reveals the victory for the besiegers and defeat for the besieged.

One potter, Abū Zayd ibn Muḥammad ibn Abī Zayd (active c. 1186 – 1219, Kashan) has signed 15 surviving pieces, in both mina'i and lustreware, more than any other medieval Iranian potter.

Safavid period

The study and dating of ceramics under Shah Ismail and Shah Tahmasp is difficult because there are few pieces which are dated or which mention the place of production.  Chinese porcelain was collected by the elite, and was more highly valued than the local productions; Shah Abbas I donated much of the royal collection to the shrines at Ardabil and Mashhad, renovating a room at Ardabil to display pieces in niches.  Many locations of workshops have been identified, although not with certainty, in particular: Nishapur, Kubachi ware, Kerman (moulded monochromatic pieces) and Mashhad. Lusterware was revived, using a different technique from the earlier production, and typically making small pieces with a design in a dark copper colour over a dark blue background. Unlike other wares, these use traditional Middle Eastern shapes and decoration rather than Chinese-inspired ones.

In general, the designs tend to imitate those of Chinese porcelain, with the production of blue and white pieces with Chinese form and motifs, with motifs such as  chi clouds, and dragons.  The Persian blue is distinguished from the Chinese blue by its more numerous and subtle nuances.  Often, quatrains by Persian poets, sometimes related to the destination of the piece (allusion to wine for a goblet, for example) occur in the scroll patterns. A completely different type of design, much more rare, carries iconography very specific to Islam (Islamic zodiac, bud scales, arabesques) and seems influenced by the Ottoman world, as is evidenced by feather-edged anthemions (honeysuckle ornaments) widely used in Turkey.  New styles of figures appeared, influenced by the art of the book:  young, elegant cupbearers, young women with curved silhouettes, or yet cypress trees entangling their branches, reminiscent of the paintings of Reza Abbasi.

Numerous types of pieces were produced: goblets, plates, long-necked bottles, spittoons, etc.  A common shape is flasks with very small necks and bodies flattened on one side and very rounded on the other. Shapes borrowed from Islamic metalwork with decoration largely inspired by Chinese porcelain are characteristic. With the closing of the Chinese market in 1659, Persian ceramic soared to new heights, to fulfill European needs.  The appearance of false marks of Chinese workshops on the backs of some ceramics marked the taste that developed in Europe for far-eastern porcelain, satisfied in large part by Safavid production.  This new destination led to wider use of Chinese and exotic iconography (elephants) and the introduction of new forms, sometimes astonishing (hookahs, octagonal plates, animal-shaped objects).

Gombroon ware was an 18th-century type of delicate pierced ware, looking rather like glass, often with inscriptions.

Contemporary
Kalpuregan village in south east Iran maintains a traditional pottery tradition.  Unusually, the potting is performed by women, though men dig, refine and fire the clay. The pottery wheel is not used. Painted decoration is abstract symbols and patterns.

Collections
There are large collections of Persian pottery at the British Museum, the Hermitage Museum, the Royal Ontario Museum, and elsewhere. In 2013, the Royal Ontario Museum, in partnership with Brill Publishers in the Netherlands, published a special book about this art entitled "Persian Pottery in the First Global Age".

title: Hampton Springs Cemetery

text:
Hampton Springs Cemetery is a cemetery in rural Dallas County, Arkansas, at the junction of county roads 425 and 427, near the city of Carthage.  The cemetery is divided into two sections, one in which traditional European grave markers predominate, and another section in which graves are marked by a local adaptation of African burial customs.

Historic African American Section
This African-American section of the cemetery is said to have been in use since the late 19th century, although its oldest identified grave is dated 1916.  Most of its estimated 128 marked graves are denoted by informal means, including small bushes, ceramic objects, metal pipes, wooden stakes, offering vessels such as glass jars and bowls, and even a kerosene lamp.  This section of the cemetery has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places as an important regional example of traditional African burial practices.

title: Nappturality

text:
The term Nappturality refers to hair and is a combination of the terms nappy, natural and spirituality. Patricia Gaines, using the web identity "Deecoily" first coined the word "nappturality" in 2002 and created a website of the same name that year. The term has been used primarily by African American women who have chosen to exclusively wear their hair in its natural, afro-textured state, free from chemicals intended to straighten the hair.

The term nappturality takes the word "nappy", which is typically used in a derogatory manner, and translates it into a word of empowerment. Several commercial hair products and websites have capitalized on the success of the term nappturality. The website of the same name, nappturality.com is the largest online community dedicated to natural African American hair care and aims to "empower Black women by helping them understand and recognize the beauty of their natural hair in its natural state". Examples of napptural hairstyles include afros, braids, twists, puffs, wash and gos, bantu knots and many others.

title: List of Israeli strikes and Palestinian casualties in the 2014 Gaza War

text:
This is a list of individual Israel Defense Forces (IDF)/Israeli Air Force (IAF) operations in Operation Protective Edge, which began on 8 July 2014, naming the targets and casualties. After Israel's unilateral disengagement from Gaza in 2005, and following on the joint Israeli-Egyptian blockade of the Gaza Strip since 2007, several military operations have been conducted against the area, including Operation Cast Lead in 2008, in which 1,417 Palestinians and 13 Israelis died, Operation Pillar of Defense 2012 in which 120-160 Palestinians and 2 Israelis died, and the March 2012 Gaza–Israel clashes.

The nature of casualties reflects the conditions of asymmetric warfare in this region, in differences in weaponry, defensive technologies, operating terrain and local attitudes: the Gaza Strip has high habitation density whereas the contiguous area of southern Israel where most rockets fall, is the sparsely populated Negev. The forces in the conflict are Gaza-based militants, who have stocks of long-range rockets, such as Grad missiles but use mainly home- or factory-made missiles, many of which have inaccurate trajectories, especially Qassam rockets, many of which hit open fields, versus Israel's combined military forces, naval gunboats to the east, tanks positioned on the land borders, and IAF aircraft, equipped with F-15 fighter jets, AH-64 Apache helicopters, Delilah missiles, IAI Heron-1 drones and Jericho II missiles. Israel's civilian population has, in addition, access to shelters, early-warning sirens and is defended by the Iron Dome missile detection defence system. A spokeswoman for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights queried whether Israeli air strikes targeting homes were compliant with International humanitarian law and International human rights law. Israel states that Hamas places its armouries in densely populated areas to make civilians human shields.

In March 2015, according to UN OCHA, 2,220 Palestinians had been killed, of whom 1,492 civilians (551 children, 299 women), 605 militants and 123 of unknown status. The IDF calculates 2,127 killed claiming 55% were civilians and 45% militants. Israeli casualties consisted of 6 civilians (including 1 Thai national) and 66 soldiers, 5 of whom reportedly died from friendly fire. The Associated Press, examining 247 airstrikes that hit residential compounds, out of the some 5,000 Israeli bombing raids, determined that of the 844 killed, 60% or 508 were presumed civilian children (280, of whom 19 were babies and 108 preschoolers between the ages of 1 and 5), women and older men. 98 or 11% were confirmed or suspected Hamas militants.

In the wake of Avigdor Liberman's Sunday 20 July comment that the IDF is the "most humane and bravest army in the world", Israel's Ambassador to the United States, Ron Dermer, in an address delivered before Christians United for Israel on Tuesday, 22 July, remarked that Israel's armed forces merited a Nobel Prize in recognition of the "unimaginable restraint" they had exercised during the Operation. Prime Minister Binjamin Netanyahu blamed Hamas, asserting that the civilian toll is desired by Hamas to use "telegenically dead Palestinians" for their cause. Palestinians stated that, given the overcrowding of the Gaza Strip, they are vulnerable everywhere.

By 21 July, 132 of the casualties to that date were children. B'tselem tried to obtain a radio spot in which the names of those children killed in the conflict were to be read out. The Israeli Broadcasting Authority banned the attempt to air the information on the airwaves. 97% of the children killed in the last five years of the conflict have been Palestinian. Israel's Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (ITIC) has alleged that Hamas uses children in their operations in the Gaza Strip, and that some militants killed in action were "falsely reported" as civilians or children.

title: George W. Mallett House

text:
The George W. Mallett House is a historic house in Princeton, Arkansas, the first county seat of Dallas County.  Built c. 1853 by George W. Mallett, one of the county's first settlers, it is one of three surviving pre-Civil War houses in the county, and the only one in Princeton.  The house was originally built as a dog trot; the breezeway was enclosed around the turn of the 20th century, giving the house its present exterior appearance of a central hall structure.  A hip roof covers the original portion of the house, while a gable covers a two-room ell added to the rear (also dating to the turn of the century).  A shed-roof porch extends across the width of the main facade, supported by chamfered posts.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

title: Diletta Giampiccolo

text:
Diletta Giampiccolo (born July 27, 1974, in Catania) is a retired amateur Italian freestyle wrestler, who competed in the women's lightweight category. Considered one of Europe's top female freestyle wrestlers in her decade, Giampiccolo has claimed two gold medals at the Mediterranean Games (2001 and 2005), scored a silver in the 62-kg division at the 2001 World Wrestling Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, and also finished tenth at the 2004 Summer Olympics, representing her nation Italy. Throughout her sporting career, Giampiccolo trained full-time for Polisportiva Mandraccio Wrestling Club in Genoa, under her personal coach Lucio Caneva.

Giampiccolo reached sporting headlines at the 2001 Mediterranean Games in Tunis, Tunisia, where she picked up the gold medal in the women's 62 kg class. Two months later, she captured the silver in the same class at the World Championships in Martigny, France, losing out to China's Meng Lili by a 3–0 verdict. Her sporting success continued to flourish at the next two World Championships, but she left both tournaments empty handed with mediocre results.

At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Giampiccolo qualified for the Italian squad in the women's 55 kg class. Earlier in the process, she finished second from the Olympic Qualification Tournament in Tunis, Tunisia to guarantee her place on the Italian wrestling team. She lost two straight matches each to China's Sun Dongmei with a 2–4 decision, and eventual Olympic champion Saori Yoshida of Japan on technical superiority that left her on the bottom of the prelim pool, placing eleventh in the final standings. With Puerto Rico's Mabel Fonseca being disqualified for failing the doping test on stanozolol, Giampiccolo upgraded her position to tenth.

In 2005, Giampiccolo campaigned her title defense in the women's lightweight category (59 kg) at the Mediterranean Games in Almería, Spain to cap off her sporting career, overpowering the host nation's Seba Jimenez in the process.
