Аэропорт Н'Доло  ), также Аэропорт Ндоло — второстепенный аэропорт в городе Киншаса, Демократическая Республика Конго, расположенный в коммуне Барумбу недалеко от центра города.

В октябре 1940 года здесь была создана «Aviation militaire de la Force Publique» с реквизированными самолетами.

Головной офис авиакомпании Air Kasaï находился на территории аэропорта.

Взлетно-посадочные полосы ограничены для самолетов весом менее 15 тонн после катастрофы 8 января 1996 года, когда Ан-32 вылетел за пределы взлетно-посадочной полосы и врезался в рынок.

Длина взлетно-посадочной полосы включает смещенный порог на 315 метров на взлетно-посадочной полосе 08.

Tel Aviv-based virtual container security startup Aqua Security raised $25 million in Series B funding, bringing the company's total equity funding to $38.5 million, the company announced Tuesday.
The round was led by Menlo Park, California-based Lightspeed Venture Partners, with the participation of previous investors Microsoft Ventures, Tel Aviv-based venture capital firm TLV Ventures and Israel-based technology entrepreneur Shlomo Kramer, founder of Check Point Software Technologies and Imperva.
Established in 2015 by Amir Jerbi and David (Dror) Davidoff, Aqua Security combines machine learning and threat research to offer an advanced security service for container-based applications. The company currently has 60 employees in Tel Aviv, Boston and San Francisco, and is planning to use the current funds to expand its research and development center in Israel.
"The market is undergoing a substantial change currently, providing us with a unique opportunity for growth," Mr. Davidoff told Calcalist. "We have the initial advantage and most of our competitors are young startups. Once the big companies see that there is a large market, they'll enter it as well."
"Over the last two years the trend of deploying to the cloud has accelerated greatly, and containers have become a fantastic tool," Mr. Davidoff added. "But if once upon a time security was something you did after product development, today it's being integrated during the first stage."


The Robinson Fuso is underway. We are finally leaving home and heading out West.
We made it to the South Carolina/Georgia state line tonight. We stayed at Lake Hartwell State Park near Fair Play, SC. We pulled in right at twilight which gave us enough time to pick a campsite and get set up, but not enough time for photos.
We woke up to rain. We're heading across Georgia and into Alabama today. Lots of rain expected.

Oh Giorgio
Posted in: singles, upcoming, videos.	Tagged: Giorgio Moroder, kylie minogue.	Leave a comment
I woke up this morning to the news that Giorgio Moroder and Kylie Minogue had finally released the video for "Right Here Right Now." Unfortunately, Vevo decided that the video wasn't available in my region, and I was sad. Fortunately, someone came to their senses midday and allowed the rest of the world to witness the hotness that is Kylie. Check out the video that immediately erases almost any memory of the hot mess that was Kylie's "I Was Gonna Cancel" video.
This track brings up mixed feelings for me, because on one hand, it's amazing. In fact, it's better than about three-quarters of Kiss Me Once. On the other hand, it goes back to the same well that Light Years and Fever were dipped in, and while they were amazing records, an artist like Kylie tries to stay diversified in the material she records. Once my internal struggle is over, I want Kylie and Giorgio to record an entire album of material like this mixed into one epic track. Is that so much to ask?
Giorgio's album is slated for release this spring, and is expected to include tracks with Sia, Matthew Koma, Foxes, and, yes, Britney Spears.
PopMusicNotes' Top Pop Singles of 2012: 50-21
Posted by John on January 1, 2013
Posted in: charts, singles, year-end, youtube.	Tagged: aiden grimshaw, calvin harris, ciara, joey+rory, kelly clarkson, kylie minogue.	4 Comments
It's that time again…time for me to spend a month stressing over what songs should be considered the best of the year. I put way too much pressure on myself to make this list the best it can be, but when your taste in music can shift simply by listening to the radio or hitting shuffle on your iPod, it becomes clear at some point that I just have to draw a line in the sand. Consider this that line. Songs 50-21 are listed below, and songs 20-1 will pop up tomorrow.
50. Joey and Rory "When I'm Gone" (Not Charted in US)
"A bright sunrise will contradict
The heavy fog that weighs you down.
In spite of all the funeral songs,
The birds will make their joyful sounds."
Sometimes the brilliance of a song cannot fully reveal itself until placed in the proper context. In the case of "When I'm Gone," it took the death of a dear friend of mine in July of 2012 to understand the depth of the lyrics Joey Feek sings in a patient, compassionate way. While I am completely at peace with my friend's passing, just the thought of "When I'm Gone" is enough to choke me up. "When I'm Gone" is a testament to the power of a great song matched with its perfect vocalist and interpreter that can connect with listeners on a more than superficial level.
49. Ciara "Got Me Good" (Not Charted in US)
"My back is aching, my bra too tight
My booty's shaking from the left to the right
My back is aching, I'm so in love
Baby all I know is you got me good"
They don't make jams like this anymore, and that's a shame. It's not a cure for cancer, but it will cure what ails ya on the dancefloor. Ciara always amazes me that for as amazing a dancer she is, she can also sing better than many of her contemporaries. If there is any woman in the industry not named Beyoncé who can duplicate the success of Usher and Chris Brown on both the Pop and R&B charts, it's Ciara.
48. Aiden Grimshaw "Is This Love" (Not Charted in US)
"An extension of hope, this could be misleading
Could you write it down now
Cause I can't speak"
I rooted for Aiden on the UK version of the X Factor in 2010, and I was disappointed when he was eliminated seventh in the live shows, all but dooming him to Christmas lightings and karaoke parties. Fortunately, Grimshaw escaped the X Factor tractor beam and went in a more experimental direction with his first single release "Is This Love." I hadn't expected drum and bass, but I loved it.
47. Kylie Minogue "Timebomb" (#1 Dance US)
"We're on a timebomb, you might not last long
So let's just do it right now, do it come on
We're on a timebomb, before the night's gone
Let's just do it right now, do it come on"
The K25 celebration that Kylie rode all through 2012 was a sight to behold. Vintage performances, lounged-up remakes (The Abbey Road Sessions), and a bangin' new track called Timebomb that let Kylie show off one of her best assets in the video. No, this song didn't revolutionize the pop industry, but it was fun, it was catchy, and snagged her another #1 dance hit in the US.
46. Calvin Harris "Sweet Nothing (feat. Florence Welch)" (#33 US to date)
"You took my heart and you held it in your mouth
And, with the word all my love came rushing out
And, every whisper it's the worst, emptied out by a single word
There is a hollow me now"
If you had asked me earlier in the year, this spot most likely would have been taken up with "Spectrum (Say My Name)" after it got the Calvin Harris treatment. Luckily for all of us, we didn't just have to settle for a remix, but instead we got a full-fledged collaboration between Harris and Florence Welsh. "Sweet Nothing" takes Welch's powerful vocal and transforms it into something both powerful AND lighter than air. Brilliant pairing that needs to happen again soon.
45. Kelly Clarkson "Don't Rush (feat. Vince Gill)" (#89 US)
"Let's wake up in the afternoon
Pretend that we got nothing to do
No we don't have to go by any agenda
We can make up our own rules"
Full disclosure: I'm a child of the country-pop movement of the late 70s-early 80s. I come by my love of Ronnie Milsap, Crystal Gayle and the Eagles honestly. So when I heard "Don't Rush" for the first time, I was instantly transported in several directions. The track itself reminds me of Amy Grant's "House of Love," the intro sounds just like James Taylor's "Her Town Too," and duet with Vince Gill is a match made in heaven. This is not mainstream, but it is beautiful.
44. Marina and the Diamonds "Primadonna" (Not Charted in US)
"Would you do anything for me?
Buy a big diamond ring for me?
Would you get down on your knees for me?
Pop the pretty question right now, baby"
Much like Robyn over the past few years ago, Marina and the Diamonds have been on the verge of US success throughout 2012. Even though "Primadonna" received some US Pop Radio airplay, that breakthrough never came along despite a successful club tour and several performances on US TV shows."Primadonna" captured Marina at her flirty, playful best and deserved a much more successful fate in the US.
43. Gossip "Perfect World" (#8 Dance US)
"Relax, it's only dreaming facts
Giving way to feelings
No one ever stays long
It's over when you wake up"
Expectations were extremely high for Gossip's fifth studio release A Joyful Noise, but the album itself was mostly met with a less than stellar reaction. That's not a bad thing for most acts, but when you are a critical darling like Gossip are, that is a bit of a letdown. More surprising was the fact that only two singles were released from A Joyful Noise, and "Perfect World" was the greater of the two. A dark, funky groove propelled this track along a synth melody with lead singer Beth Ditto's trailblazing vocals acting as a light through a darkened cavern. The fact that Gossip are still not mainstream mainstays is a fact that still boggles my mind.
42. LeAnn Rimes "What Have I Done" (Not Charted in US)
"Love is darkness blinded by the light
Let it lead you, listen for the cry
I will find you, every time I turn you're there"
This was supposed to be LeAnn's mainstream comeback, and it may pan out. Unfortunately, that comeback backfired a bit with a less-than-stellar performance on the X Factor finale, followed by an explanation that seemed to lay the fault for her crazy vocal on her 13-year-old duet partner. In a fair world, "What Have I Done" would get all the praise it deserves, but instead tabloid headlines and gossip mongering probably have doomed any chance of success.
41. Kenny Chesney "Come Over" (#23 US)
"You can say we're done the way you always do
It's easier to lie to me than to yourself
Forget about your friends, you know they're gonna say
We're bad for each other, but we ain't good for anyone else"
To say I'm surprised that a Kenny Chesney song ended up on this countdown would be an understatement, but give credit where it's due. After 2010's duet with Grace Potter "You and Tequila" (a huge miss that should have been on my list last year), it became clear that Kenny wanted to take on material that had a bit more pop appeal. "Come Over" went to #1 on the Country chart and was certified Platinum in the US.
40. Zedd "Clarity (feat. Foxes)" (#44 Dance US to date)
"High dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life
Fight fear for the selfish pain it was worth it every time"
While more high-profile recording DJs like David Guetta and Calvin Harris enlisted an all-star list of vocalists to bring their club bangers to life, Zedd went with lesser-known singers that knew how to find their way around a thumping track. "Spectrum" (featuring Matthew Koma) became the #1 Dance track of the year in the US, and as the year ended, "Clarity" began its ascent up the chart. I loved how the track started out with a minimal track behind Foxes' vocal, but then built into a massive floor-filler by the chorus.
39. Christina Aguilera "Let There Be Love" (Not Charted in US)
"Want you to tell me you need it
I wanna hear it repeated
Want you to take me completely
Want you to tell me, want you to tell me"
Here's a scenario I never thought I would be in: loving a Christina Aguilera album that many of my peers despised and placed on their Worst of 2012 lists. For me, Lotus was cohesive, well-sung and mostly well written. Yes, Aguilera plays the victim a bit much at times, but in the context of today's pop landscape, that actually plays out well. "Let There Be Love" hasn't been released as a single, but I have no doubt that it will be unleashed on the clubs in no time, perhaps alongside the more mellow current single "Just a Fool."
38. Cheryl Cole "Call My Name" (Not Charted in US)
"It's a constant thought of my baby taking up my time
It's a non-stop vision of you that's playing on my mind"
Fool of the year goes to Cheryl Cole, who passed up a perfect opportunity to break big in the US with "Call My Name," a song that couldn't have been more "of the moment" if it were recorded live on the air. Cole is actually signed to will.i.am's label here in the States, and I have no doubt that if the song were released here, it would have been massive. Instead Cheryl appeared to continue squeezing those sour grapes from her US X Factor debacle, rather than making the best of the situation. Still, "Call My Name" was a refreshing blast that reaffirmed the magic touch of Calvin Harris. (I was also obsessed with the sleeveless dancer from her Graham Norton performance linked here. You'll know who I'm talking about as soon as the video starts…)
3 7. Bat for Lashes "Laura" (Not Charted in US)
"You say that they've all left you behind
Your heart broke when the party died
Drape your arms around me and softly say
Can we dance upon the tables again?"
When I've loved Bat for Lashes, I've really loved Bat for Lashes, and "Laura" became an obsession for me for several weeks. This ode to a woman feeling that she is beyond her prime showed a more subtle side to singer Natasha Khan's voice, and I ate it all up. "Laura" not only benefitted from a stunning vocal but also from a beautiful video (linked above).
3 6. Taylor Swift "Begin Again" (#7 US)
"I've been spending the last 8 months
Thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again"
I was not a fan of Taylor Swift's coming into the release of Red. You can blame it on the massive PR campaign or the horrific "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," but I just wanted her to go away. And then I heard Red, and I had to give it its due. The album is a solid body of Pop music, and among the gems on the album was the Country-pop ballad "Begin Again." When Swift isn't playing the annoying teenage girl in her songs, she is a very good storyteller, and "Begin Again" paints a full picture of watching a new relationship blossom.
35. Delta Rae "Bottom of the River" (Not Charted in US)
"The wolves will chase you by the pale moonlight
Drunk and driven by a devil's hunger
Drive your son like a railroad spike
Into the water, let it pull him under"
I try not to have regrets, but a big one for me in 2012 was missing the opportunity to see Delta Rae live in concert here in Denver. With the Alt-Country movement in full swing, Sire Records and founder Seymour Stein unleashed Delta Rae on the world, and the group, consisting of three siblings and three other members, didn't disappoint. While more people may know "Morning Comes" from its You Oughta Know status on VH1, "Bottom of the River" is the song that hooked me, sounding like a funeral dirge with tight harmonies and a driving drum beat.
34. Ingrid Michaelson "Ghost" (Not Charted in US)
"I'm a ghost, haunting these halls
Climbing the walls that I never knew were there
And I'm lost, broken down the middle of my hard heart"
Possibly my biggest album surprise this year was just how much I loved Ingrid Michaelson's Human Again, which was preceded by the gorgeous single "Ghost." While I liked her previous singles, those were more passing fancies than the substantial joy I got out of listening to Human Again over and over for a good month. "Ghost" is a moving tale of a lover who can't move on after her relationship is long gone, and that pain was palpable in the performance.
33. Mumford and Sons "I Will Wait" (#23 US)
"So break my step
And relent
You forgave and I won't forget"
Upon my first listen to "I Will Wait," I had the same response most people had: "did Mumford and Sons get happy?" Alas, in listening closer to the lyrics, it became clear that this song was more an ode to relief after a confession than actual joy. Still, the added energy and exuberance was contagious, and it carried over to their performance at Red Rocks in August that was recorded for both the song's video as well as a live disc for a Deluxe Edition of Babel.
32. Little Big Town "Pontoon" (#22 US)
"5 mile an hour with aluminum side
Wood panelin' with a water slide
Can't beat the heat, so let's take a ride"
Not only did Little Big Town have the most fun song on Country radio this past summer, they also single-handedly brought the term "motorboating" into everyday conversations across the US. While I'm not sure that's a good thing, the song did a great job of catching that lazy vibe when you are enjoying a day on the lake with friends and whatever refreshments you decide to bring along.
31. TVXQ "Catch Me" (#25 KPOP US)
"Baby catch me. Catch me. Catch me, girl, tonight
Tteona beorigi jeone (I'm serious I'm serious)"
The first of two KPOP songs on this year's countdown, TVXQ decided to chase US success on the heels of PSY's massive success. While the song garnered a couple of TV show placements, there wasn't much enthusiasm generated for the song. That's a shame, because whether or not you understand the lyrics to "Catch Me" (and I don't), the song is hugely contagious with a soaring chorus and a pretty cool video to go along with it. Sadly, the failure of songs by the likes of TVXQ and Girls Generation to break through in the US probably signals that PSY was more a video phenomenon than a musical milestone.
30. Adele "Skyfall" (#8 US)
"Skyfall is where we start
A thousand miles and poles apart
Where worlds collide and days are dark"
It is very rare that a song, a musical artist and a movie are so perfectly matched. Think Madonna's "Beautiful Stranger" in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, Irene Cara's "Flashdance," and Kenny Loggins' "I'm Alright" for said perfect matches. Allow me to add Adele's "Skyfall" to the list. While I believe the song's detractors had a valid point that this was not Adele at her finest, to my ears that doesn't matter. Movie music is meant to match the mood, the narrative and the reputation of a movie, and "Skyfall" was a worthy successor to songs like "Diamonds are Forever" and "Nobody Does It Better." There's a reason the song performed better than any Bond theme in the past decade.
29. Emeli Sandé "Next To Me" (Not Charted in US)
"You won't find him drinkin' at the tables
Rolling dice and staying out 'til three
You won't ever find him being unfaithful
You will find him, you'll find him next to me"
So how is it that Cher Lloyd has garnered a hit in the US, yet Emeli Sandé is relatively unknown here, save her appearances in the opening and closing ceremonies at the Summer Olympics in London? No justice, no peace. "Next To Me" is the rare song that is vague enough that individual listeners can find their own meanings based on their past experience while still having enough meat to carry the song through. Despite Our Version of Events being a bit of a letdown, this song was a strong reminder of why much of the world is embracing Sandé.
28. Hunter Hayes "Wanted" (#16 US to date)
"You know I'd fall apart without you
I don't know how you do what you do
'Cause everything that don't make sense about me
Makes sense when I'm with you"
A year ago I was praising Hunter Hayes' self-titled debut album, hoping that he was given the opportunity to succeed. Apparently, a few other folks were feeling the same way. Fast forward 13 months, and second single "Wanted" topped to Country charts and is now climbing the Pop and Adult Pop charts while follow-up single "Somebody's Heartbreak" is blasting up the Country chart faster than either of his previous singles. Next stop? A strong shot at Best New Artist at the Grammys in February.
27. The Weeknd "Wicked Games" (#61 US)
"Bring your love baby I could bring my shame
Bring the drugs baby I could bring my pain
I got my heart right here
I got my scars right here"
There was something so hypnotic about the Weeknd's vocal delivery on "Wicked Games" that I couldn't resist, but a good chunk of the credit should go to his production work that creates a grimy landscape that contrasts brilliantly with his brighter vocals. "Wicked Games" was originally released on the mixtape House of Balloons, but all three of the Weeknd's mixtapes were released late in 2012 as Trilogy on a proper label, with all tracks getting cleaned up and remixed.
26. Ne-Yo "Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)" (#1 US)
"I can see the pain behind your eyes,
It's been there for quite a while
I just wanna be the one
To remind you what it is to smile"
In my opinion, Ne-Yo should get both the credit and blame for the current glut of R&B artists making club tracks with hot producers, as he was making cuts like this years ago in the form of "Closer" way back in 2008. In fact, I picked that song as my favorite of the year. "Let Me Love You" continued in that dance tradition, but didn't have quite the same spark to my ear. Still, the song was a jam and carried the momentum forward from his own collaboration with a hot producer named Calvin Harris.
25. Ellie Goulding "Anything Could Happen" (#47 US to date, #1 Dance US)
"After the war we said we'd fight together
I guess we thought that's just what humans do
Letting darkness grow"
Nothing ever seems to come easily for Ellie Goulding. Take 2011's "Lights," which was released mid-2011, made some minor noise at Adult Pop radio and mainly flopped in the UK. Then due to a series of events including Ellie playing gas stations and Starbucks locations across the US (it sure seemed that way), Pop radio picked up on the song, and it went on to become the #1 song at Pop radio for all of 2012. Unfortunately, the same thing seems to be happening to "Anything Could Happen," but another funny circumstance appears to be helping the song grow at the end of the year: X Factor. Finalists Fifth Harmony performed the song two weeks in a row in their best-received performance, helping raise the song's profile nationally.
24. Vicci Martinez "Come Along (feat. Cee Lo Green)" (#33 Hot AC US to date)
"Play with it while you have hands
Dust settles, cities turn to sand
Trespassing this is their land
Time flies, make a statement, take a stand"
Vicci Martinez potentially holds the title of "Most Successful Graduate of The Voice" based on the slow journey of "Come Along" at Adult Pop radio. The song originally debuted on The Voice back in May, and the song received some airplay but quickly dropped off the charts. To Vicci's credit, she started a non-stop tour of radio stations and festivals across the country, and now the song has resurfaced and is steadily climbing the chart again. This could be the "Lights" of 2013!
23. Rihanna "Diamonds" (#1 US)
"You're a shooting star I see
A vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I'm alive
We're like diamonds in the sky"
When "Diamonds" was released in September, I listened to it about five times in a row and declared that "Diamonds" was Rihanna's best single release since "Umbrella." For the most part, I still stand by that, despite my reservations endorsing anything having to do with RiRi. There's no denying that Sia took Rihanna to a classier place that she needed to go, and I have to give credit where it's due: Rihanna plays the chameleon well when she needs to change up her sound.
22. The Lumineers "Ho Hey" (#3 US to date)
"So show me family
All the blood that I would bleed
I don't know where I belong
I don't know where I went wrong
But I can write a song"
Speed round: name bands that rode Mumford and Sons' coattails in 2012. Imagine Dragons, Of Monsters and Men, Phillip Phillips, Lumineers. At this point, The Lumineers have won that competition, as "Ho Hey" has outpaced all of those acts and even Mumford and Sons, reaching #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 at the end of 2012. The Denver-based band benefitted from product placements in the US (Microsoft) and the UK (E.ON), and they were rewarded with top 10 rankings on both sides of the Atlantic.
21. Demi Lovato "Give Your Heart a Break" (#16 US)
"Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong
Like you might make a mistake"
"The day I/First heard this/I said that/I didn't want to hear it again/So here I am/Eating crow/And praising it/Readers don't you understand!"
Yeah…I was wrong. Great song, great delivery, and Demi's inclusion on the X Factor was finally justified.

– Recently, I had the pleasure of penning a guest post for Brad over at Wacky On the Junk. He got the idea of asking some of his actual and virtual friends to submit five albums or songs that "changed their lives", and I was flattered to have him ask me to contribute. Since I don't ever do anything the easy way, I struggled for a week or so to pull together something that made sense to me until Adele's "Hometown Glory" came up on my iTunes. From there, it was clear that I would be talking about ballads, and I came up with Five Ballads that Left a Mark.
Among the titles on that list is Prince's "Adore", which I described as "my favorite song from my favorite album of all time (Sign o' the Times)." There's a reason that BET paid homage to Prince on its BET Awards show last night, and that song, although never a single, to this day gets played on any self-respecting "Quiet Storm" show on R&B stations across the country. While it wasn't my favorite Prince tribute (that honor goes to Janelle Monae, who I will address in the next couple of days), Alicia Keys did a pretty great version of "Adore" complete with piano climbing and some pretty impressive high notes.
– Tomorrow sees the release of the Scissor Sisters' Night Work, which looks to be a return to form after the brief diversion that was Ta-Dah. Don't get me wrong…Ta was a good album, but it wasn't the stellar work that we were spoiled with on their debut. From what I've heard, I really like the more grimy and gritty vibe on Night Work, and a highlight so far has been "Any Which Way". From what I've been told, their performance of "Any" at Glastonbury was one to remember, but maybe that's because Kylie Minogue showed up and tore it up. Personally, I love Ana Matronic channeling Sandra Bernhard on the bridge.
– With all the musical disappointments in the world (the failure of Mini Viva, Xtina's new album, Katy Perry at #1), we could use a surprise to cheer us up. Enter Sophie Ellis Bextor, who showed up at NYC Pride yesterday and performed for (and with) the hot, sweaty boys on the Pier. Does this mean that she is going to give the US a go when she releases the next full-length album? Or was she just in the neighborhood and thought she'd just hang out with her gay fans? Either way, who woulda thought?
Video Notables – Kylie Minogue
Posted by John on May 31, 2010

The most anticipated video of the moment (sorry, "Alejandro" fans) is finally here. "All the Lovers" has such an epic sound that I expected to be completely blown away, but sadly, the video is less than the sum of its parts. From a visual perspective, it's an impressive clip, with the building mound of humanity reaching the height of skyscrapers. There just isn't a connection with the viewer (or at least THIS viewer), and that's disappointing. There are also some odd placements in the video (white horse, white elephant) that may not have any meaning to the average fan, and all it does is distract from the central concept of "all the lovers". I want to be in love with this and I want to rave about it, but to me the video is a bit of a misstep, given the undeniable momentum of the song on its own.
So Won't You Dance

To keep the music rolling, here's the second batch of tracks that are making my Spring mix a must-hear. There isn't a ballad in the bunch.
– Wonder Girls "Two Different Tears" – After "Nobody" peaked at #76 here in the US, I figured that the Girls would not get a second chance, but it looks like JYP had some extra cash laying around to put together another English video for "Two Different Tears". Now, remember what I said about Bobby Lee in a video being a good thing? Not so much here, but at this point, the only thing I care about is the music, and these ladies are two for two on their US-geared tracks. I doubt it will be a hit, but stranger things have happened, like the Girls touring the US and stopping in Denver. Oh, wait. That actually is going to happen.
– Robyn "Dancing On My Own" – How often do you get excited about a preview clip for a video? When it's a stylish as the one Robyn posted for "Dancing On My Own", you might as well just give in. I'm a bit confused by the behind the scenes clip, though. Robyn is definitely not a slouch in the looks department, but there is something about her in black and white that is stunning. I could handle a black and white world with that kind of beauty. Does the final product in color deliver? Absolutely. Now here's hoping the tour with Kelis is a) a reality, and b) coming to Denver.
– Kelly Rowland "On and On" – Trust me when I say that I am a huge fan. She was heading in the right direction with Miss Kelly, but "When Love Takes Over" took what she started on "Work" and multiplied it by 10. Now she's getting ready to drop a new album on Universal Motown in September, and while "Commander" is the official single, a Brian Kennedy-produced track called "On and On" leaked, and it's just as good as any other dance-pop track you have heard this year. Brian also produced "Crash and Burn" for Jesse McCartney last year, which ended up on my Top Pop Singles at #11 last year. Unfortunately, Universal has done a killer job of yanking the YouTube clips of "On and On", so instead, here's the still-worthy "Commander". To check out "On and On", head on over to Idolator.
– Kylie Minogue "All the Lovers" – Everyone's heard it, everyone loves it, but I have to do my thing and show some love. Every time I hear the song on satellite radio or check out the video clip before, I just kind of get lost in the vibe for the next 3.5 minutes. Kylie's in her element here, and it's a great return to form after the disaster that was "Two Hearts", her first single from X. The collaborations on the album sound promising, and they are going to release the record worldwide at the same time, including the US, which I believe is a first. To top it off, I feel a more personal connection to the track, so it doesn't really matter how good it is. To get that AND a great track is just bonus.
Gimme A Grammy

It's time to do the Great Swami predictions for the Grammy Awards, and while I have some clear favorites, this year seems to be just a tad more difficult to predict, due to some bizarre wins over the past few years. I'll give it a go here, but please let me know what you all think.
Alison Krauss & Robert Plant, Raising Sand (Prediction)
Coldplay, Viva La Vida (Pick)
Ne-Yo, Year Of The Gentleman
Lil Wayne, Tha Carter III
Radiohead, In Rainbows
While I gave the Ne-Yo CD a great review this past year, I just feel like he's in over his head in this category. Lil Wayne pulled a great collection of tracks together, and Radiohead did their thing, but I really think this is going to be between the ubiquitous Coldplay and the critical darlings Krauss & Plant. The Nashville voting block has become much stronger over the past few years, so Raising Sand gets the edge.
Adele (Prediction) (Pick)
Jazmine Sullivan
My concerns of Adele and Duffy canceling each other out have faded, as Adele's popularity peaked at exactly the right time. Everyone else's efforts really feel like debuts, while Adele's 19 has the soul of a veteran, and should triumph.
Adele, "Chasing Pavements"
Leona Lewis, "Bleeding Love"
M.I.A., "Paper Planes" (Prediction)
Robert Plant and Alison Kraus, "Please Read The Letter"
Since Record of the Year addresses production, you really have to give credit to Coldplay, who took their usual formula and gave it enough of a tweak to result in a truly uplifting record, but I have a hunch that M.I.A. will be the hipster pick of the night.
"American Boy," William Adams, Keith Harris, Josh Lopez, Caleb Speir, John Stephens, Estelle Swaray & Kanye West, songwriters
"Chasing Pavements," Adele Adkins & Eg White, songwriters (Pick)
"I'm Yours," Jason Mraz, songwriter
"Love Song," Sara Bareilles, songwriter
"Viva La Vida," Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion & Chris Martin, songwriters (Prediction)
The hardest category for me to pick, since all of the songs on this list appeared on my Top Songs of 2007 and 2008. From a songwriter's standpoint, voters will be hard-pressed to vote for Estelle's seven songwriters. I'm not sure that Adele and Sara have enough clout with their records, so the prediction comes down to Coldplay and Jason Mraz. Edge definitely goes to Coldplay, although Mraz was still on the radio when the voters got their ballots.
And to mix things up a bit…
BEST DANCE RECORDING
Daft Punk, "Harder Better Faster Stronger" (Prediction)
Hot Chip, "Ready For The Floor"
Lady Gaga & Colby O'Donis, "Just Dance"
Madonna, "Give It 2 Me" (Pick)
Rihanna, "Disturbia"
Sam Sparro, "Black & Gold"
With Kanye's "Stronger" having been everywhere at the end of 2007, I fear that this live version of Daft Punk will get the nomination, but for my money, the true dance song on the list is Madonna. Having said all of this, Sam's record seemed to be the hip "go-to" record at wildly different concerts throughout the year, so I'm wondering if there might not be an edge in there.
BEST ELECTRONIC/DANCE ALBUM
Brazilian Girls, New York City
Daft Punk, Alive 2007
Cyndi Lauper, Bring Ya To The Brink (Pick) (Prediction)
Kylie Minogue, X
Moby, Last Night
Y'all know I love me some Robyn, and the album is terrific, but Cyndi's record IS a dance album. Brilliant album, and should grab the Grammy. I wouldn't be surprised to see Kylie pick this up, though. Dance seems to be the only category she can win in.

Wade (founder, Soldiers of Love) asked more than 100 leaders and thinkers to contribute brief essays on ways to improve the world, and his respondents here include Al Gore, Ted Turner, George W. Bush, President Obama, Marianne Williamson, Tony Blair, and Paul Prudhomme, speaking to peace; security; freedom; democracy; prosperity; spiritual, racial, and ecological harmony; health; and moral purpose. The broad range is hard to describe in brief. The contributors agree that something can be done, and even must be done, but their solutions are as various as they are themselves. VERDICT A fascinating octopus of a book on global change, reaching in all directions at once.


You cant move these days for minor celebrities and people you vaguely recognise gliding around our television screens in top-to-toe sequins.Whether theyre dancing or skating, they seem to be powered by sheer twinkliness.
Fully grown men rugby players, no less appear more than happy to shed their macho image in favour of sparkly catsuits with necklines that plunge perilously close to their navels, while clonelike young ladies who may or may not have been in a soap, or a pop band, or the back of a taxi with a member of Take That spin on spike heels wearing little more than 14 sequins on a handkerchief-sized square of pink netting.
But are we jealous? You bet we are. If they can wear enough sequins to power the National Grid, why cant we?
The good news, my fashionable friends, is that we can. The party season is approaching faster than an overweight childrens TV presenter attempting a triple salco and sequins are virtually compulsory.
This doesnt mean, however, that they are purely for girly-girls. You can skip joyfully down the fullon Cinderella route if you like, but sequins work just as well if not better when used to add texture and interest to an otherwise chic piece.
If youre a bit squeamish, you can tread gently into the trend with a pair of shoes or sandals inspired by dear old Dorothy and her ruby slippers.
Or treat yourself to a sequinned clutch. Then if you decide halfway through the night that its really not for you, you can tuck your bag under the table.
If youre feeling quite daring and fancy a sequinned dress, steer clear of bright colours. Jewel tones and metallics work well, but pinks, yellows and oranges can look like youre trying too hard to get everybodys attention. In other words, unless you are actually going to juggle puppies while riding a unicycle, youre bound to disappoint.
And finally, just because sequins and embellishments are everywhere this season, that doesnt mean you have to wear them everywhere. A sequinned dress is good, as is a sequinned shrug, bag or shoes. But a sequinned dress and shrug and bag and shoes is really bad. So bad in fact that Brucie wouldnt even let you wear it on Strictly Come Dancing. It would be not nice to see you, to see you not nice.

Выражение 0⁰ (ноль в нулевой степени) многие учебники считают неопределённым и лишённым смысла. Связано это с тем, что функция двух переменных  в точке  имеет неустранимый разрыв. В самом деле, вдоль положительного направления оси  где  она равна единице, а вдоль положительного направления оси  где  она равна нулю. Поэтому никакое соглашение о значении 0⁰ не может дать непрерывную в нуле функцию.

Соглашение 00 = 1: аргументация сторонников
Некоторые авторы предлагают принять соглашение о том, что  равно 1. В пользу подобного варианта приводятся несколько доводов. Например, разложение в ряд экспоненты:

можно записать короче, если принять :

(рассматриваемое соглашение используется при ).

Если 0 относить к натуральным числам, то возведение в натуральную степень можно определить так:

и тогда возведение любого числа (в том числе нуля) в нулевую степень будет давать 1.

Другое обоснование соглашения  опирается на «Теорию множеств» Бурбаки: число различных отображений n-элементного множества в m-элементное равно  при  получаем отображение пустого множества в пустое, а оно единственно. Разумеется, это нельзя считать  доказательством (соглашения не нуждаются в доказательствах), тем более что в самой теории множеств соглашение  не используется.

В любом случае соглашение  чисто символическое, и оно не может использоваться ни в алгебраических, ни в аналитических преобразованиях из-за разрывности функции в этой точке. В свете современного математического анализа говорить о соглашении в данном случае вообще не уместно, данное выражение может и должно пониматься только в смысле предельного перехода при раскрытии неопредлённости. Пример для аналитических вычислений: выражение  где  — произвольное положительное вещественное число. При  мы получаем неопределённость типа  и, если не отличать предельную форму  (где каждый из нулей обозначает стремление к нулю) и значение  (где каждый из нулей и есть ноль), можно ошибочно посчитать, что предел равен 1. На самом деле данное выражение тождественно равно  Это означает, что бесконечно малая в бесконечно малой степени может в пределе дать любое значение, не обязательно единицу. Аналогичные ошибки могут быть сделаны, если использовать соглашение в алгебраических преобразованиях.

История различных точек зрения
Дискуссия по поводу определения  продолжается, по крайней мере, с начала XIX века. Многие математики тогда принимали соглашение , но в 1821 году Коши причислил  к неопределённостям, таким, как  В 1830-х годах  опубликовал неубедительный аргумент в пользу  (см. ), и Мёбиус встал на его сторону, ошибочно заявив, что  всякий раз, когда . Обозреватель, который подписал своё имя просто как «S», предоставил контрпример , и это немного успокоило дебаты. Больше исторических деталей можно найти в статье Кнута (1992).

Более поздние авторы интерпретируют ситуацию выше по-разному. Некоторые утверждают, что наилучшее значение для  зависит от контекста, и поэтому определение его раз и навсегда проблематично. Согласно Бенсону (1999), «Выбор, следует ли определять  основан на удобстве, а не на правильности. Если мы воздержимся от определения , то некоторые утверждения становятся излишне неудобными. <…> Консенсус заключается в использовании определения , хотя есть учебники, которые воздерживаются от определения ».

Часть математиков считает, что  должно быть определено как 1. Например, Кнут (1992) уверенно утверждает, что  «должно быть 1», делая различие между значением , которое должно равняться 1, как это было предложено Либри, и предельной формой  (аббревиатура для предела  где ), что обязательно является неопределённостью, как указано Коши: «И Коши, и Либри были правы, но Либри и его защитники не понимали, почему истина на их стороне».

Авторитетный сайт MathWorld, приведя мнение Кнута, всё же констатирует, что обычно значение  считается неопределённым, несмотря на то, что соглашение  позволяет в некоторых случаях упростить запись формул. В России Большая российская энциклопедия, Большая советская энциклопедия, Математический энциклопедический словарь, Справочник по элементарной математике Выгодского, школьные учебники и другие источники однозначно характеризуют  как выражение, не имеющее смысла (неопределённость).

Раскрытие неопределённости 00
Если даны две функции  и , которые стремятся к нулю, то предел  в общем случае, как показано выше, может быть любым. Таким образом, с этой точки зрения  является неопределённостью. Для нахождения предела  в этом случае пользуются методами раскрытия неопределённости, как правило сначала взяв логарифм от данного выражения: , а потом воспользовавшись правилом Лопиталя.

Однако, при определённых условиях этот предел будет всегда равен единице. А именно: если функции  и  являются аналитическими в точке  (то есть в некоторой окрестности точки  совпадают со своим рядом Тейлора), и , а  в окрестности , то предел  при  стремящемся к нулю справа равен 1.

Например, таким образом можно сразу убедиться, что

При этом надо не забывать, что если хотя бы одна из функций не разлагается в ряд Тейлора в точке 0 или  тождественно равен 0, то предел может быть любым, или его может не существовать. Например,

Комплексный случай
Для комплексных чисел  выражение вида  для  многозначно и определяется как , Однако комплексный логарифм  не определён ни в какой своей ветви, и это лишает смысла любое соглашение не только для  но и для любого  хотя часть авторов предлагает при  принять соглашение .

В компьютерах
Стандарт IEEE 754-2008, описывающий формат представления чисел с плавающей запятой, определяет три функции возведения в степень:
 Функция для возведения в целую степень: . Согласно стандарту,  для любого , в том числе, когда   равен нулю, NaN или бесконечности.
 Функция для возведения в произвольную степень:  — по сути равная . Согласно стандарту,  возвращает значение «не число» NaN.
 Функция для возведения в произвольную степень, которая особо определена для целых чисел: . Согласно стандарту,  для всех  (так же, как и ). Данное соглашение в целом имеет разумное обоснование (см. ниже), однако вопрос может вызывать случай, когда x=NaN.

Во многих языках программирования ноль в нулевой степени равен 1. Например, в C++: pow(0, 0) == 1, в языке Haskell это верно для всех трёх стандартных операций возведения в степень: 0^0 == 1, 0^^0 == 1, 0**0 == 1. То же касается и стандартного калькулятора MS Windows.

Хотя общеизвестно, что  — это неопределённость, поведение некоторых функций, возвращающих в данном случае , не является результатом соглашения или ошибкой, оно имеет логическое обоснование. Дело в том, что в компьютерной арифметике числовые данные подразделяются на целые и вещественные. Это может неявно использоваться в некоторых функциях, реализующих операцию возведения в степень. Например, так сделано в калькуляторе Windows и функции pow в C++. Для целого и вещественного показателя степени используются различные алгоритмы, и функция возведения в степень анализирует показатель: если он равен целому числу, то вычисление степени идёт по другому алгоритму, в котором отрицательные и нулевое основания степени являются допустимыми. Если показатель степени принадлежит множеству целых чисел и равен 0, а основание - вещественное число, то операцию  следует определять не иначе как . Поскольку 0 в показателе точный, предельный переход касается только основания и (в отличие от случая, когда показатель тоже вещественный) определён однозначно и равен .

Andre Ayew close to Swansea return
Wednesday 17th January , 2018 12:47 pm
West Ham United forward Andre Ayew is reportedly inching closer to a move back to his former side Swansea City.
The 28 year old has failed to reproduce the form he showed at the Welsh side since making his £20.5m move to West Ham in 2016 and has fallen out of favour with the Hammer faithful, with the London side expressing their readiness to sell him at the right price.
New Swansea boss Carlos Carvahal is reportedly in the hunt for a new forward and has identified the Ghanaian as his number one target.
According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, West Ham and Swansea are in advanced talks concerning the transfer and are very close to agreeing a fee for the goal poacher.
Ayew scored 12 goals in 34 games for Swansea during his time with the Swans, and the move will see Andre reunited with his brother Jordan, at Swansea.

Two teams, one from losertown, and the other from the prestigious AFC, faced off in the ultimate showdown of skill and athleticism. Broadcast to more than a 100 million people, it is one of the most widely viewed competitions in all of history. This year both the widely hated Patriots and the widely forgotten about Rams, were the two lucky contestants.
According to many reputable analysts, Tom Brady, the opposing quarterback, is probably the best player in the league. The problem is that his instagram is extremely creepy and people are spooked by it. One need simply look at the video where he stares directly into the camera and jams out to a strange song, never breaking his gaze.
The outcome for this boring game was a Patriots victory, 13-3.

This week Sirha 2019 took place in Lyon, France. From 26-30 January, professionals from the global foodservice industry gathered at the French culinary capital city's Euroexpo to discover new trends and innovation while doing business.
One of the global foodservice industry's must-attend foodservice shows, the biannual show attracts a large crowd of visitors from across the world. Before the event, director Marie Odile Fondeur announced that a record crowd of 3,000 exhibitors and more than 200,000 visitors, among them 25,000 international chefs, were expected.
For the 2019 edition, show organisers added 10,000 sqm floor space to the event, which sprawled across the seven halls of the exhibition centre.
Sirha showcases every conceivable aspect of foodservice, from kitchen equipment to catering and food products. Every hall of the Euroexpo was a hub of innovation as companies launched new products and unveiled techniques and innovation.
Much of the space was dedicated to commercial kitchen equipment, taking up large parts of hall space – the focus on demonstrating the innovation that goes on in the sector, making connections and striking up business.
Sirha also played host to more than 20 competitions, including the Coupe du Monde de la Patisserie for pastry chefs, won by Malaysia, and the International Catering Cup, while the World Cuisine Summit gathered chefs, entrepreneurs and opinion leaders to share ideas.
The Bocuse d'Or professional cooking competition, running for the first time since the founder chef Paul Bocuse passed away, took place among the usual scenes of excitement and emotion.
The 2019 edition of the competition was a triumph for Scandinavia as Denmark, with chef Kenneth Toft-Hansen at the helm, returned to top spot for the first time after eight years, while Sweden won silver and Scandinavian neighbours Norway was awarded the bronze medal.
The Denmark coach Rasmus Kofoed – the only chef to have won bronze, silver and gold as a competitor – now completes the clean sweep of also winning the competiton as coach of his national team.
This year's Bocuse d'Or competition represented a fitting tribute to Monsieur Bocuse as someone who changed the chef profession and played a key part in creating the fraternity we see today. His son Jérôme Bocuse who is now the president of the competition said "today was the best tribute to his legacy".

Donald Trump Urges Joe Biden to 'Get Well Soon!' After Fracturing Foot
President Donald Trump urged Joe Biden to 'Get well soon' after the former Vice President injured his foot Sunday.
"Get well soon!" Trump wrote on Twitter sharing news footage of Biden leaving an orthopedic office in Deleware.
Biden's office said "on background" that the former Vice President "slipped while playing with his dog Major, and twisted his ankle" while at his home in Delaware.
Biden was taken to an orthopedist for an examination and an x-ray.
A statement from Dr. Kevin O'Connor, the Director and Executive Medicine, of George Washington Medical Faculty Associates stated that Biden had "sustained a sprain of his right foot" but transported Biden to a different medical facility for a CT scan.
The CT scan revealed that Biden did have fractures in his foot after the injury.
"Initial x-rays did not show any obvious fracture, but his clinical exam warranted more detailed imaging," OConnor wrote, noting that the CT scan "confirmed hairline (small) fractures of President-elect Biden's lateral and intermediate cuneiform bones, which are in the mid-foot."
"It is anticipated that he will likely require a walking boot for several weeks," O'Connor concluded.

Sébastien François. 07/15/2019 Latest
The maximum aperture of the diaphragm largely determines the performance of an optic, and the amount of light that the lens allows to be passed through. But why do some lenses open less than others? What is the difference between the values expressed in f/xx and TXX? We'll explain all below.
Controlling exposure has already been discussed at length in a previous article. In order to go further and understand the mechanism, it is necessary to know both the physical and mathematical limits of a lens in order to choose it with full knowledge of its capabilities. The opening of a lens is managed by the diaphragm, which has the ability to open or close a lens and let more or less light in, meaning that it becomes the first tool to understand when it comes to the management of exposure.
Where does the aperture value come from?
Aperture is simply the relationship between the focal length and the maximum diameter of the diaphragm (i.e. the inner barrel of the lens). For example, a 50mm lens with a maximum diameter of 25mm, we obtain 50/25=2. To simplify the calculation, we annotate the aperture as f/2, f:2 or even 1:2. The calculation is completed beforehand, and allows the camera operator to have common reference values. Regardless of the lens, an f/2 will always give the same amount of light to the sensor – theoretically, at least.
However, via this rule, we realise that if we want an aperture at f/2 for a focal length of 150mm, we will need a diameter of 75mm! This explains why large focal lengths that "open" a lot are very large and very expensive. At this focal length, we will more generally find lenses that open at f/4 (37.5mm diameter). This is also why systems such as the m4/3 (GH5 etc.), which have a sensor smaller than full size, can have very bright optics without being bulky. Indeed, on this system, as a 50mm full frame lens corresponds to a 25mm full frame lens in m4/3, a 12.5mm diaphragm diameter is sufficient to open at f/2. This is why the lenses are much less cumbersome than on a Full Frame system.
f/1.4, f/2, f/2.8 – where do these numbers come from?
You will have noticed that whatever the lens, the camera, or the hybrid, the different diaphragm levels are made up of the same sequence of "numbers". At the same time, increasing the opening by 1 "Stop", or 1 "diaph" means bringing in twice as much light. Each increment is therefore twice the surface area of the previous one. The difference is that the smaller the value, the larger the surface area.
It is also important to know the famous formula to calculate the area of a circle: Surface of the disc =πr² where "r" symbolises the radius. Since the area of a circle decreases by half when the radius is divided by √2 (i.e. 1.4142), we move from one increment to the next by multiplying by √2 and rounding. Let's try:
If r=1, 1 x √2 = 1.4
1,4 x √2 = 2
2 x √2 = 2.8
2.8 x √2 = 4
That's the mystery solved. However, all you have to remember there is a ratio of 2 as to the amount of light sent each time.
The limits of F-Stops, and why T-Stops?
As we have just seen, the diaphragm values or F-Stops, are mathematical calculations that are accessible to anyone. Unfortunately, the lenses are not just lenses placed on tubes of such diameter and length. There are many parameters that disturb the theoretical calculation in the transmission of light.
First of all, for the same lens (same brand, same focal length, same "f"), we realise that there is always a slight difference because the lenses are never quite identical because of the coating, the complexity of the lenses etc., meaning that an f/2 will never really be an f/2. In photography, we don't care so much because the difference is very small, and therefore more acceptable – particularly thanks to post-production.
In video however, it's another story because in large productions, we often shoot with multiple cameras, and if there are differences in exposure between several cameras, post-production can very quickly become both complicated and expensive.
And this is where the T-Stops come in.
F-Stops are based on the ratio between Focal length and diameter. The T-stops integrates the light Transmittance value.
Starting from the F-Stops, manufacturers will calculate the loss of light due to the different disturbance parameters (radius lost against the drum, absorption of the coating, loss when passing through X lenses) and will therefore add around 85% to the transmittance factor calculation. By multiplying the theoretical value by this factor we obtain an actual value. An f/2.8 will therefore be a T3.3 according to our 85% transmittance.
So why don't we just use T-Stops?
The answer to this question is quite simple: establishing the transmittance factor means that it must be calibrated to each lens that comes off the production line. To ensure that a T3.1 is exactly the same as another T3.1 implies tariffs that are often multiplied by 3 or 4 compared to a "simple" objective "f". That's why we reserve these lenses for cinema production by adding other functions: toothed focusing ring for follow-focus, longer strokes for precise movement, "declicked" diaphragm to switch from one level to the other smoothly – all of which brings the bill to a stratospheric level.
But do you really need these lenses? The answer is simply "yes", if the simplification of post-production justifies this additional cost of renting the optics. The answer is no, for simpler productions: matching two cameras remains quite easy. It is all about balancing the budget.

Gildar Gallery is pleased to participate in the 2017 Material Art Fair with a solo booth of anti-anxiety inducing artworks by Sarah Schönfeld. The Berlin-based artist has created a series of techno-shamanistic objects that alloy unexpected materials and processes to activate the uncanny experience of the modern oracle. Through material fusion, differing systems of approaching the unknown touch. This physical alchemy of binaries – the mystic and scientific, indigenous and industrial, logical and absurd – gives form to the inexplicable, offering a graspable moment of relief amidst so much tension.

Senior apartments, town homes, 131 homes approved for fast-growing part of Lexington
22 Apr 2019 31 May 2019 Latest News.New Development
A new development that will include senior apartments, town homes and more than 130 homes on Spurr Road got the green light on Thursday from a Lexington planning body.
The Urban County Planning Commission unanimously approved a series of zone changes for the Dennis Anderson and Anderson Communities Development for more than 40 acres at 2811 Spurr Road in the growing Masterson Station area on the city's west side.
Richard Murphy, a lawyer for Anderson Communities, told the commission during Thursday's meeting that the senior living apartments will meet a growing demand in Lexington. The plans call for 210 units in three, five-story senior apartment living complexes. The 25 town houses will be toward the front of the development, fronting Spurr Road. Behind the town homes there will be 131 single-family homes. Most will be three bedrooms with two-and-a-half baths.
"It will be similar to Townley Park," Murphy said of another Anderson Development on Leestown Road. However, there will be no commercial development at the front of the party like Townley Park. The houses will have the garages in the rear with residents accessing their homes from an alley that will run behind the houses, which is similar to how the homes were built in Townley, Murphy said.
"It's safer for pedestrians," Murphy said. There will not be drive ways with cars backing out into the street.
The city's planning staff had recommended approval of the zone changes.
Some residents in the Spurr Road area said they were concerned about traffic on the narrow road. The entrance to the development is on Spurr.
Karen Winn who lives on Spurr Road and owns land adjacent to the new development said research shows there is a very old cemetery on the site, possibly one of the oldest in Fayette County that could have slave graves in it. Winn said Anderson Communities should be required to either move those remains or fence off the area where the graveyard is.
Murphy said Anderson would do just that if a cemetery is found on the site.
"This is the first we have heard of it," Murphy told the commission.
Winn said Spurr Road is old and narrow and can't accommodate more traffic.
"My mailbox is knocked down four times a year," Winn said. Winn said city ordinances also require a fence be constructed between agriculture land and neighborhood development. Her land is agriculture and she has horses on her property and would like a fence to be constructed.
Murphy said they would address the fence issue.
Others said they were concerned that such a large development would add more kids to already over-crowded elementary schools in that area.
But Murphy said with so much senior housing on the site, it's unlikely the development would have too many school-aged children.
The zone changes must be approved by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council The council will likely not take a final vote on the zone changes until sometime after the first of the year.

Iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by co–precipitation method. FE-SEM revealed the morphology of synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles were spherical in shape with a size range of 20–30 nm, EDS confirms the elemental composition of ferric oxide nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis which confirmed the crystal structure corresponding to magnetite (Fe3O4). FTIR reveals the functional group of active compounds present in the synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles. The shift in the Raman spectra testifies the presence of iron oxide nanoparticles. The iron oxide nanoparticles are given to ginger plants and their performance based on biochemical parameters showed promising response, indicating good cellular health of the plants when compared to iron chelated supplementation. The simplicity and versatility of the present approach using nano-fertilizers as plant supplements is a smart farming approach. Increasing the iron content in food may also helps in biofortification as it enhances iron storage in edible plants therefore addresses the problem of iron-deficiency anemia, one of the most prevalent human micronutrient deficiencies globally.

Each of the autonomous origin cultures (Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, India, Mesoamerica, Andean culture) have had men of knowledge that forged the basic philosophical infrastructure, over which developed a multitude of values, symbols, feelings, and activities that provided their personality and characteristic traits.
In ancient times, thousands of years ago, an amazing mother culture emerged, in what is now Mexico, it has maintained its philosophical matrix in time and space. From the Olmec epochs, through Toltec times and up to the period just before the conquest, with the Mexica, there was a thread that immaculately knitted every process, every "new cultural facet" of the same matrix, whose validity reached, hidden, the current time.
The cultural matrix can be appreciated in the archaeological remains and the Olmec iconography, and how it remained through time, space and cultures that followed. Each of them took the matrix and enhanced it; hence the old Mexico is seen today as a multicultural mosaic, with a common essence or matrix. This matrix, fundamental element which allowed continuity of the Anahuac cultural process, developing through thousands of years, during which it gradually developed until reaching its splendor in the late classical.
This profound cultural essence has not been recognized by the West: at the time of the conquest, because the Spaniards could not perceive the advanced cultural development of the people they brutally razed, and today, because of the Western overwhelming supremacy in the fields of philosophy, science and culture. The vestiges of the cultural greatness of ancient Mexico almost succumbed in the darkness of time and in the minds of those that were dominated by force.
