[edit] Friedhof Heerstraße
Done! with a little help by google. see yesterday. Greetings 195.93.60.136 13:12, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
The cemetery Friedhof Heerstraße lies in Berlin, Germany, district of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf. It lies at the Trakehnerallee 1 (Trakehner avenue No.1) beneath the Olympiastadion. The name is a little misleading today because it originally refers to the inhabitants of the Villenkolonie Heerstraße, for which this cemetery was created in 1921-24 around the Sausuhlensee (Wild boar´s lake). The cemetery is 149,650 m ² large and created by the garden architect Erwin Barth as a forest cemetery. The chapel was constucted by Erich Blunck. Today it is not original, because its original oriental style was to be seen from the 1936 Summer Olympics. This view incurred Adolf Hitler and so he let decrease the tower. In 1948 the war-destroyed chapel was rebuilt in another variation.
From the beginning this cemetery was open for all, christians, jews, muslims and even suiciders. Because of its idyllic location on the lake it gathers many prominent people.

[edit] House of Alireza
The House of Alireza (also known as Beit Zainal) is the oldest family business in Saudi Arabia, with a history dating back a century and a half. Its founder, Zainal Alireza, began trading from Jeddah in 1845 with the importation of foodstuffs, textiles and other merchandise from around the Middle East and the Indian sub-continent.These activities were later complemented by the acquisition of agencies of the shipping lines that carried these commodities.
Business prospered, and the Company continued its development into the twentieth century. In 1929, the business was retitled Haji Abdullah Alireza and Company. The emergence of a strong, united Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the resultant opening of its doors to Western trade in the 1930s, found the House of Alireza ready for its own participation. From that time onward, the Company's growth parallels the modern history of Saudi Arabia in its multi-faceted progression.
The Forties witnessed a Kingdom-wide expansion programme for Haji Abdullah Alireza and Company, with offices established both in Riyadh and Dammam. It broadened its operational base to include Ford Motor dealership, distribution of petroleum products and telecommunication contracts and a bolstering of the shipping side of the business.
Commercial Registration Number One In view of its long business standing in the Kingdom, the Company obtained Commercial Registration Number "1".
The Company and the Kingdom In 1960, the Company was incorporated into a limited liability enterprise. The subsequent decades witnessed significant change, both in its areas of interest and in the nature of its business relationships. Preferred are partnerships and joint ventures with reputable international companies desirous of participating in the development of the Kingdom.
In assessing potential new business ventures, consideration is given not only to the financial soundness, but also for their inherent ability to contribute to the prosperity of the country. Initiative across a broad spectrum of business are the hallmarks of the Company. It has played a significant commercial role in the Kingdom's development.
The installation of the first broadcasting and radio telegraph system, the supply and installation of the first automatic telex exchange, followed by a computer controlled electronic exchange for the Ministry of Post, Telegraph and Telephone were the projects piloted by the Company. The management and operation of the Jeddah Sea Port for ten years, the first hyperbolic navigation system for the Ports Authority, computer centre for National Information Centre, land mobile radio and flight information display systems at King Fahd International Airport, Dhahran were some of its other business ventures. In the field of civil construction, the Company, in joint venture with British contractors, has participated in the construction of several airports and military cantonments and commercial buildings. In an equal partnership with a large US corporation, it has operated the petroleum storage, bunkering and handling facilities on the Pacific side of the Panama Canal from 1997 to 2002.

[edit] Rebecca Merle
A native of Wisconsin in the Midwestern Region of the United States, Rebecca Merle (nee Koscinski) knew her calling to a career in the arts at an early age. By the time Rebecca was eight-years-old, she realized her greater life ambition as she successfully landed roles in Equity theater productions at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater. A stage director she worked with commented on the magnificent presence possessed in this tiny girl. Rebecca continually found stage work during her childhood and teens performing at venues throughout the Milwaukee area. She continued to work in different art media through high school.
Rebecca majored in another favorite, Film, in University. December of 2000, Rebecca achieved her B.F.A. from the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee. Her alma mater was named one of the top five film schools in the country by Film Threat magazine and one of the top three “non-Hollywood” film schools by Independent Film and Video Monthly. During her time there, Rebecca continued to perform on stage, in student film, and various video projects. She created, directed, shot, and edited several works of her own.
Shortly after graduation, Rebecca relocated to Los Angeles where she was immersed into the entertainment industry. During her two years in LA, Rebecca participated in the NBC Page program, a nationally recognized program that served as the launching pad for some of today's most powerful and influential film and television industry players. In her free time she also played as a house DJ. During her DJ days she played events in Milwaukee, San Francisco, LA, and NY.
In early 2001 by an intuitive dream, she planned her move to New York. It became increasingly difficult in the months following the catastrophic events of September 11, 2001. Regardless, Rebecca embraced the opportunity to not only foster her evolving career interests, but to contribute to her new community's restoration.
Rebecca's creative accomplishments are diverse from acting to vocals to filmmaking to writing to visual art to management and work behind-the-scenes. Rebecca desires to continue work on documentaries and independent-minded projects. It was while working art department on the set of Steriogram’s music video, “Walkie Talkie Man,” she met her husband Cyril (pronounced "see real"). He was in New York working with the video’s director, Michel Gondry. Cyril is a native of France who is well established in France and New York in his own creative right. Rebecca has worked on sets amid some amazing talent, even if only to observe masters at work, most notably, directors Martin Scorsese, Neil Jordan, Jim Sheridan, and Steven Soderbergh.

Squared Circle Expo (SCE) is an Amercian independent professional wrestling promotion based in Hartwell Georgia, started in early 2005 and is currently still operating in northeast Georgia. One main attraction in SCE is that the promotion gives a chaotic feel to their audience, by using many storylines that seem to make matches appear to happen at a spare of the moment. Also they have a title called the Reaction Championship, which if the match exceeds a time limit the fans select the winner of the match by cheering the loudest for who they want the winner to be. These type of finishes are total shoots. SCE has many wrestlers who currently work for them such as James Boulevard, The Tower, Merciless Don Matthews, Shadow Jackson, Mikal Adryan, Jason Justice, Mikki Free, Brodie Ray Chase, Rick Michaels, Dale Dwindle, Lance Christopher, Silo Storm, Tommy Sawyer, Locomotive, and many others.

[edit] Gameplay
[edit] PS2 and GameCube
There are four playable characters: Yasmin, Cloe, Sasha and Jade. During the game, all of the sudden blue coins appear, called Blingz, which are money for the Bratz girls. There's a mobile phone menu, where you can read messages, and see the objective, what the player currently has to do.
The player can explore three locations
- Stilesville (also know as Bratz Town) - the Bratz's home
- London
- Paris
It has the explorable roam, like in the Grand Theft Auto series (The review of NZGamer called it as GTA for girls.). When the player is not in an objective, he/she can take a character to collect character coins (which are can be used to buy movie clips. There are 25 for each Bratz girl), Blingz tokens, take pictures, and play mini-games for extra money. The player can do the girls' make-up in certain locations. With the collected money, the player can take the Bratz characters to shops for buying the latest trends (Campfire, Ooh La La, Rock Angelz, Midnight Dance, etc.).
The objectives of the game (except in the tutorial part) can be triggered, when the player takes the correct Bratz girl to the speech bubble and the press a button.
The mini-games can be activated to go into a place, or talk to a person.
- Posing game - The player must do the button combinations before the time runs out. In certain objectives, this mini-game will be featured.
- Blown Away! - The player has to pick up all pages that a person dropped and take them back to him/her.
- Model Behaviour! - The player has to take pictures in a photo booth.
- Rockin' Racerz - The player has to put on the Bratz girl's roller skates, and grab the flags as fast as she can.
[edit] Windows PC
The PC version of the game is different from the console version. It follows the story of the DVD movie, Bratz Rock Angelz.
There are nine objectives of the game. The odd-numbered objectives (Chapter 1, 3, 5, 7, 9) are reflex-like mini-games, where the player has to do the tasks to collect points. Each mini-game has four rounds. When the player takes or misses the part, he'll/she'll gain lower points, at three misses, he/she has to do the round again losing amount of points. With points the player can unlock fashions for the Bratz girls, except in the final objective.

- 3000-3999 points: 4 fashions
- 4000 points or above: 5 fashions
The even-numbered objectives (Chapter 2, 4, 6, 8) are puzzle-like adventure games. The player has to play with the certain Bratz character and take things to solve a puzzle (for example give a camera to a colleague). The player can take pictures on those objectives to print them on the "Secrets" menu. Each adventure objective, the player has to design an article, logo, flyer, or poster to complete the part of the objective. The player can even print his/her design. This part can be accessed on the "Secrets" menu.
When the player has beaten the game, he/she unlocks a card game, called Top Trumps, which is similar to War. The player gets a card each turn with number totals on it. The player has to guess which number on the card is higher than the opponent's card. If he's/she's correct, he/she wins the card.

[edit] Holland Symfonia
Formed on the 1st of January 2002, Holland Symfonia, the Dutch Ballet- and Symphonic orchestra, was created by the merging of the Nederlands Balletorkest and the Noordhollands Philharmonisch Orkest. Both orchestras benefit from an enormous amount of experience which comes from their rich cultural history. This combined expertise ensured the creation of a dynamic orchestra which can be used in a wide variety of musical settings. Holland Symfonia has three main tasks: performing symphonic concerts, accompanying ballet-, opera- and theatre groups and providing the public with ‘specials' and educational projects. The Philharmonie concert hall in Haarlem is the orchestra's home while the Muziektheater in Amsterdam is used for most ballet accompaniments. Holland Symfonia has offices at both locations. In the 2006/2007 season Holland Symfonia will celebrate its fifth anniversary.
Concerts and productions
Since the start of the 2005/2006 season, Holland Symfonia has made the beautifully renovated Philharmonie Haarlem its home and all concerts are performed here along with most educational and special projects. In addition one can also experience and enjoy the orchestra's performances all over the Randstad (western part of the Netherlands): from Alkmaar to Rotterdam and from Utrecht to Amsterdam. The organisation of educational projects and ‘specials' (cross-overs between the various art spectrums), is another side to Holland Symfonia. In local schools as well as a variety of concert halls, the projects run by the orchestra reach people both young and old who would normally never go to a classical concert.
Accompaniments and co-productions Since the creation of the orchestra, Holland Symfonia has been the permanent partner of Het Nationale Ballet and it regularly works in unison with the Nationale Reisopera and the Nederlands Dans Theater. In addition, Holland Symfonia accompanies a number of choirs including the Toonkunstkoor Amsterdam.
Added value
A live orchestra is a tremendous added value to a ballet and opera show. Holland Symfonia is actively involved in the development of new repertoire and wants to stimulate choreographers in the picking of live Music over artificially created Music in a live experience.
Accompaniments
Besides accompanying forementioned institutes, Holland Symfonia Works closely together with choirs with a very divers and distinct repertoire. The orchestra accompanies this season, amongst others, the Haarlemse Korenfederatie, the Christelijke Oratorium Vereniging Haarlem and the Toonkunstkoor Amsterdam during the annual tradition of Bachs' Matthäus Passion. The orchestra is also closely involved in the famous Koorbiënnale in the Philharmonie Haarlem.
Programming
Holland Symfonia programs per segment. In doing so Holland Symfonia wants to facilitate the audience in picking concerts of their liking and wants to display all concert series per field of interest. Every segment has its own context: from traditional to contemporary and from family concerts to chamber music. Holland Symfonia distinguishes the following segments: HS Hedendaags (contemporary 21th century), HS Classic (traditional classic), HS LIVE (specials, family concerts and education) and HS Kamermuziek (chamber music).
Ambitions
With its divers and original programming Holland Symfonia establishes its own place in the musical and cultural life of the western part of the Netherlands. The orchestra embraces its own audience and welcomes new public. Holland Symfonia offers therefore a balanced and segmented concert series to reach a broad audience. Besides that the orchestra broadens its musical horizon with audience targeted projects and unique Live productions. Also Holland Symfonia seeks new ways to present music. Via Internet, dvd and cd recordings, unique combinations of vision, sound and musical genres and crossovers with other cultural outings the orchestra wants the public to enjoy traditionally brought classical music to contemporary 21th century music.

[edit] SERRV International
SERRV International, started by the Church of the Brethran, was one of the first fair and alternative trade organizations in the world. It began in the 1940s as way to help refugees in postwar Europe rebuild and recover. SERRV was a founding member of the International Fair Trade Association (IFAT) and is a member of the the Fair Trade Federation.
Through its main handcraft project, A Greater Gift, the not-for-profit SERRV offers its artisan and farmer partners up to 50% advance payment on orders. This helps them avoid high interest rates from borrowing locally. SERRV’s goal is to alleviate poverty and empower low-income and marginalized people through trade, training, and other forms of community support as they work to improve their lives.
Now an independent nonprofit, SERRV partners with Lutheran World Relief and Catholic World Relief to sell fair trade items and spread awareness of the fair trade mission. Sales now top $7 million a year, and A Greater Gift sells products from more than 90 groups from more than 30 countries.

[edit] Giovanni Rector
Giovanni Rector is a South African professional football player playing for Danish mid-tabel club Brøndby IF A/S.
Rector was born 21st of August in Capetown, South Africa. Before signing with Brøndby IF, in the fall of 2006, he played four years for Belgian club Royal Excelsior Mouscron. Rector played nine matches, but did not score a goal in his time in Belgium.
Upon hearing about Rector being signed to a three-year deal with Brøndby IF, a club with a noticable record of domestic success, a reporter from the Belgian newspaper Het Volk, made a surprised statement to Danish newspaper BT:
"They have got to be insane. He wasn't good enough for the Belgian league, so he isn't good enough for the Danish league."

Some have Arab ancestry and some are mixed. They are considered part of the coastal Swahili group of peoples. Some of them are descended from freed slaves. The Comorians speak four dialects of Comorian Swahili and French. Some also speak Arabic. Many have learned to speak Malagasy as well over the years of living in that country. They have their own form of Islamic worship with distinct customs derived from their ancestral roots.
