Fiesta is a celebration of the dancers, the chancers and the lovers who graced the Fiesta Ballroom, Letterkenny – the famous dancehall venue that formed a hugely important part of the social history of Donegal and the wider North West region.
Below the red neon sign, the doors of the Fiesta Ballroom first opened on October 5th 1962. The music of Capitol Showband played out to two thousand people at ten bob a head. They came from across Donegal and further afield, thumbing lifts, rattling on Swilly buses or crammed into Austins and Hillmans.
The air was thick with the scent of Brylcreem and hairspray, cigarette smoke and McDaids minerals. The Fiesta was one of the finest dancehalls in Ireland, where the Clipper Carlton, the Miami Showband and the Mighty Avons played fast and slow sets through the years.
The Fiesta was the place to meet, twist and shake and fall in love. This July, Fiesta celebrates those magical times, from 1962 until the roller disco years. Come along and slip your feet back into your dancing shoes for an evening of music, of memories and of the stories that made the Fiesta so unique.
Fiesta is a new drama commission co-produced by Earagail Arts Festival, An Grianán Theatre and Donegal County Council Arts Office and supported by the Arts Council of Ireland, Failte Ireland and Donegal County Council.

Lake Kivu with Goma in the background
Lake Kivu is one of the African Great Lakes. It lies on the border between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, and is in the Albertine Rift, the western branch of the East African Rift. Lake Kivu empties into the Ruzizi River, which flows southwards into Lake Tanganyika. The name comes from kivu which means "lake" in some Bantu languages, just like the words tanganyika or nyanza.[citation needed]

People on the shore at Gisenyi
The first European to visit the lake was German Count Adolf von Götzen in 1894. Since then it has been caught up in the conflict between Hutu and Tutsi people in Rwanda, and their allies in DR Congo, which led to the 1994 Rwandan Genocide and the First and Second Congo Wars. Lake Kivu gained notoriety as a place where many of the victims of the genocide were dumped.
Geography
The lake covers a total surface area of some 2,700 km2 (1,040 sq mi) and stands at a height of 1,460 metres (4,790 ft) above sea level. Some 1 370 km2 or 58% of the lake's waters lie within DRC borders. The lake bed sits upon a rift valley that is slowly being pulled apart, causing volcanic activity in the area, and making it particularly deep: its maximum depth of 480 m (1,575 ft) is ranked eighteenth in the world.
The world's tenth-largest inland island, Idjwi, lies in Lake Kivu, as does the tiny island of Tshegera, which also lies within the boundaries of Virunga National Park; while settlements on its shore include Bukavu, Kabare, Kalehe, Sake, and Goma in Congo, and Gisenyi, Kibuye, and Cyangugu in Rwanda.
Chemistry
Lake Kivu is a fresh water lake and, along with Cameroonian Lake Nyos and Lake Monoun, is one of three that experience limnic eruptions. Around the lake, geologists found evidence of massive biological extinctions about every thousand years, caused by outgassing events. The trigger for lake overturns in Lake Kivu's case is unknown, but volcanic activity is suspected. The gaseous chemical composition of exploding lakes is unique to each lake; in Lake Kivu's case, methane and carbon dioxide due to lake water interaction with a volcano. The amount of methane is estimated to be 65 cubic kilometers (if burnt over one year, it would give an average power of about 100 gigawatts for the whole period). There is also an estimated 256 cubic kilometers of carbon dioxide. The water temperature is 24°C, and the pH level is about 8.6.[2] The methane is reported to be produced by microbial reduction of the volcanic CO2.[3] The risk from a possible Lake Kivu overturn is catastrophic, dwarfing other documented lake overturns at Lakes Nyos and Monoun, because of the approximately two million people living in the lake basin.
Cores from the Bukavu Bay area of the lake reveal that the bottom has layered deposits of the rare mineral monohydrocalcite interlain with diatoms, on top of sapropelic sediments with high pyrite content. These are found at three different intervals. The sapropelic layers are believed to be related to hydrothermal discharge and the diatoms to a bloom which reduced the carbon dioxide levels low enough to precipitiate monohydrocalcite.[4]
Scientists hypothesize that sufficient volcanic interaction with the lake's bottom water that has high gas concentrations would heat water, force the methane out of the water, spark a methane explosion, and trigger a nearly simultaneous release of carbon dioxide.[5][6] The carbon dioxide would then suffocate large numbers of people in the lake basin as the gases roll off the lake surface. It is also possible that the lake could spawn lake tsunamis as gas explodes out of it.[7][8]
The risk posed by Lake Kivu began to be understood during the analysis of more recent events at Lake Nyos. Lake Kivu's methane was originally thought to be merely a cheap natural resource for export, and for the generation of cheap power. Once the mechanisms that caused lake overturns began to be understood, so did awareness of the risk the lake posed to the local population.
An experimental vent pipe was installed at Lake Nyos in 2001 to remove gas from the deep water, but such a solution for the much larger Lake Kivu would be considerably more expensive. No plan has been initiated to reduce the risk posed by Lake Kivu.[dubious – discuss] The approximately 500 million tonnes of carbon dioxide in the lake is a little under 2 percent of the amount released annually by human fossil fuel burning. Therefore the process of releasing it could potentially have costs beyond building and operating the system.
Methane extraction
Methane extraction platform.
Lake Kivu has recently been found to contain approximately 55 billion cubic metres (1.94 trillion cubic feet) of dissolved biogas at a depth of 300 metres (1,000 ft). Until 2004, extraction of the gas was done on a small scale, with the extracted gas being used to run boilers at a brewery, the Bralirwa brewery in Gisenyi.[9][10] As far as large-scale exploitation of this resource is concerned, the Rwandan government has negotiated with a number of parties to produce methane from the lake.
In 2011 ContourGlobal, a U.S. based energy company focused on emerging markets, secured project financing to initiate a large-scale methane extraction project. The project will be run through a local Rwandan entity called KivuWatt, using an offshore barge platform to extract, separate, and clean the gasses obtained from the lake bed before pumping purified methane via an underwater pipeline to on-shore gas engines. Stage one of the project aims to build and supply three "gensets" along the lake shore, totaling 25MW of electrical capacity. Initial project operations are scheduled to commence in 2012.[11] In addition to managing gas extraction, KivuWatt will also manage the electrical generation plants and on-sell the electrical power to the Rwandan government under the terms of a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). This allows KivuWatt to control a vertically integrated energy offering from point of extraction to point of sale into the local grid. Extraction is said to be cost-effective and relatively simple because once the gas-rich water is pumped up, the dissolved gases (primarily carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and methane) begin to bubble out as the water pressure gets lower. This project is expected to increase Rwanda's energy generation capability by as much as 20 times, and will enable Rwanda to sell electricity to neighboring African countries.[10] The firm was awarded the 2011 Africa Power deal of the year for innovation in the financing arrangements it obtained from various sources for the KivuWatt project.

A problem associated with the prevalence of methane is that of mazuku.
Biology and fisheries

The fish fauna in Lake Kivu is relatively poor with 28 species, including four introduced species.[14] The natives are the Lake Rukwa minnow (Raiamas moorii), four species of Barbus (B. altianalis, B. apleurogramma, B. kerstenii and B. pellegrini), an Amphilius catfish, two Clarias catfish (C. liocephalus and C. gariepinus), Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and 15 endemic Haplochromis cichlids.[14] The introduced species are three cichlids, the longfin tilapia (Oreochromis macrochir), O. leucostictus and redbreast tilapia (Coptodon rendalli), and a clupeid, the Lake Tanganyika sardine, Limnothrissa miodon.[14]
The exploitable stock of the Lake Tanganyika sardine was estimated at 2000–4000 tons per year.[15] It was introduced to Lake Kivu in the late 1959 by a Belgian Engineer A. Collart. At present, Lake Kivu is the sole natural lake in which L. miodon, a sardine originally restricted to Lake Tanganyika, has been introduced initially to fill an empty niche. Prior to the introduction, no planktivorous fish was present in the pelagic waters of Lake Kivu. In the early 1990s, the number of fishers on the lake was 6,563, of which 3,027 were associated with the pelagic fishery and 3,536 with the traditional fishery. Widespread armed conflict in the surrounding region from the mid-1990s resulted in a decline in the fisheries harvest.[16]
Following this introduction, the sardine has gained substantial economic and nutritional importance for the lakeside human population but from an ecosystem standpoint, the introduction of planktivorous fish may result in important modifications of plankton community structure. Recent observations showed the disappearance during the last decades of a large grazer, Daphnia curvirostris, and the dominance of mesozooplankton community by three species of cyclopoid copepod: Thermocyclops consimilis, Mesocyclops aequatorialis and Tropocyclops confinis.[17][18]
The first comprehensive phytoplankton survey was released in 2006.[19] With an annual average chlorophyll a in the mixed layer of 2.2 mg m-3 and low nutrient levels in the euphotic zone, the lake is clearly oligotrophic. Diatoms are the dominant group in the lake, particularly during the dry season episodes of deep mixing. During the rainy season, the stratified water column, with high light and lower nutrient availability, favour dominance of cyanobacteria with high numbers of phototrophic picoplankton.[19][20][21][22] The actual primary production is 0.71 g C m-2 d-1 (~ 260 g C m-2 y-1).[23]
A study of evolutionary genetics showed that the cichlids from lakes in northern Virunga (e.g., Edward, George, Victoria) would have evolved in a "proto-lake Kivu", much older than the intense volcanic activity (20,000-25,000 years ago) which cut the connection.[24] The elevation of the mountains west of the lake (which is currently the Kahuzi-Biega National Park, one of the largest reserves of eastern lowland (or Grauer's) gorillas in the world), combined with the elevation of the eastern rift (located in eastern Rwanda) would be responsible for drainage of water from central Rwanda in the actual Lake Kivu. This concept of "proto-lake Kivu" was challenged by lack of consistent geological evidence,[25] although the cichlid's molecular clock suggests the existence of a lake much older than the commonly cited 15,000 years.
Lake Kivu is the home of four species of freshwater crab, including two non-endemics (Potamonautes lirrangensis and P. mutandensis) and two endemics (P. bourgaultae and P. idjwiensis).[26] Among Rift Valley lakes, Lake Tanganyika is the only other with endemic freshwater crabs.[26]

Some people radiate positive energy which draws you in and as soon as they utter a word you feel their inner strength.
Caroline was standing on the beach promenade with her child snuggled in a soft baby carrier.
It's amazing how a simple "Hello" develops into a long and meaningful conversation.
Caroline, 30 y/o, is from Bavaria, Germany living in Berlin, but she really is a woman of the world.
As hotel manager, she has been working in many places, Bali included.
Since her baby girl Enola was born, ten weeks ago, Caroline had decided to take time out and to care for her child.
Enola means 'beautiful, blooming flower' in Native American.
She got her name from the movie Waterworld which Caroline saw when she was a little girl herself. Ever since, she has always wanted a girl named Enola. Now she does have one :-)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpKbULrB9Z8
Caroline's partner, Enola's father, is a handsome, Israeli businessman. They were here to visit his family and friends.
When the two met at first, Caroline was still in a relationship with a former boyfriend. Later on, however, they met again, and Caroline was free to fall in love and be loved in return.
"Suddenly Amir noticed that he was already 46 y/o and had no family of his own. It was good timing."
I could tell Carolina had comprehension for photography thanks to her brother Maik who is a pro and whom she undoubtedly admires.
I got to hear many stories about Maik's reptile photography until he became a family man and was ordered by his wife to change his photo subjects. No mother wants her children around snakes and the likes of them !
Maik switched to wedding photography and prospered well.
Currently living in Lima, Peru with his wife and children, Maik continues to travel the world for his job.
Somewhere along our conversation, with the connection to Maik, Caroline mentioned the Peruvian photographer Mario Testino, unfortunately, I can't recall what it was all about. I looked him up later on and found this:
Caroline was patient while I waited for some clouds to show in the sky. The sunlight was really harsh and the contrasts sharp, but she indulged me and let me try make some decent photos.
I wish we had some shade nearby, but Tel Aviv is sunny in winter, too.
Baby Enola was sleeping the whole time, heart to heart with her beautiful Mom.
I asked Caroline to tell me a bit about herself in her own words:
"I am a Hotel Manager -- I love to travel, I love people and I can find both in the travel industry.
My struggle at the moment is to find a main homebase with my family, the perfect place which will suit our lifestyle.
My message to the world, and to each person, is to find out what nature you are and to follow it, only then can you say at the end that you've lived the life you were born for.
My message to my younger me would be:
"Take life easier, life is too short to waste time on being too serious !'

Monica Fabris, Expedia, Google, Trivago, Zoover & others
www.btoeducational.it/index.php?bettertu scany
Torna a trovarci Monica Fabris, quella che da sola vale sempre il prezzo di qualsiasi biglietto.
Torna dalle nostra parti, l'ultima volta l'abbiamo coinvolta per l'ouverture della III^ Edizione di BTO - Buy Tourism Online, dove ci ha aiutati a iniziare a pensare su quello che sarà il futuro del Travel, invitandoci caldamente a ragionare non sull'oggi, ma sul domani, guardando al rapporto tra le persone e il viaggio in chiave di valore, insomma ad alzare un pò la nostra asticella.
Bene, giovedì 5 Maggio Monica ci parlerà del valore del brand Toscana, probabilmente indicando quali sono i segnali che dobbiamo analizzare per capirne l'evoluzione presso le persone.
Ma questa è solo l'apertura dell'evento organizzato da Fondazione Sistema Toscana, con il contributo di BTO Educational.
Internet Better Tuscany è un appuntamento molto concreto pensato per la governance, i portatori d'interesse, gli operatori della lunga filiera turistico ricettiva, chi studia, chi fa ricerca, chi lavora o chi lavorerà.
Attori delle tante tessere eco-sistema che fanno parte di un unico mosaico, a cui vogliamo parlare di un tema molto caldo: le possibili metriche per valutare un insieme di azioni a sostegno dell'attratività della nostra Regione, con un particolare focus verso chi viaggia.
Insomma, è stata aperta una finestra temporale, quella della vita della campagna VoglioVivereCosì, e su questa verrà giovedì 5 Maggio fatta un'analisi con l'obiettivo di rispondere a un semplice quesito:
Internet Better Tuscany [?]
E' un appuntamento che consigliamo di non perdere anche ai forestieri, a cui il programma guarda proponendo una metodologia di valutazione delle metriche di una campagna di marketing territoriale.
BTO Educational ha chiesto ad alcuni dei suoi amichetti di analizzare la finestra temporale della Campagna VoglioVivereCosì e portarci il loro punto di vista.
Di Toscana e della sue città, di turismi di massa e di nicchia, della testa e della coda dei mercati, di ricerche sulle OLTA, prenotazioni alberghiere, sentiment e molto altro ci parleranno Giovedì 5 Maggio:
Michele Aggiato - Country Manager Italia ZOOVER
Giulia Eremita - Country Manager Italia TRIVAGO
Marco Sprizzi - Market Manager Florence EXPEDIA.IT
E poi Google, H-Art, lo strano caso della Maremma e tant'altro.
Aeronautics Director Therese Griebel has the last laugh after throwing a pie in the face of NASA Glenn Center Director Jim Free. The fun was for a good cause—the 2015 Combined Federal Campaign, which is the world's largest and most successful annual workplace charity campaign, raising millions of dollars each year. This year is Glenn’s 50th campaign and employees raised about $400,000 for local and national organizations.
