MORRISSEY, LA LAITERIE, 18 Jan 2008

Following successful concert dates in the U.S., Morrissey is back in Europe. The ex-lead singer of The Smiths continues to draw the adoration of old fans and new ones alike. If you enjoy his quirky ballads then you will not want to miss seeing him perform them live.
Concert begins at 7:30 pm

Address: La Laiterie-Grande Salle13, rue du Hohwald67000 Strasbourg, France

Space University at Strasbourg, France calls for papers for up coming meetings and seminars on Space.

Yes. Thats right. In Strasbourg you can get a degree about Outer Space.

In each academic year the International Space University (ISU) organizes a three-day symposium at its Central Campus in Strasbourg on a topical theme. Our previous symposia have addressed subjects as diverse as commercialization of the International Space Station, small satellite design and applications, and future navigation systems.

At our 10th Annual Symposium in late 2005, we posed the set of questions ‘Space Exploration: Who, What, When, Where, Why?’ since exploration of the solar system had become, by then, the most exciting topic on the space agenda. Building on the success of that event, our most recent symposium in early 2007 took the title ‘Why the Moon?’ and focused attention on our nearest neighbor recognizing the central role it occupies in the program plans of the main space-faring nations.

Our 12th Annual Symposium in early 2008, proclaimed by the United Nations as The International Year of Planet Earth, will emphasize the benefits of the space program for society. This time we are asking the question ‘How can space address Earth’s global challenges in the 21st century?’.

In this context ‘space’ can be interpreted in a wide sense encompassing observations of our home planet and more distant worlds by human and robotic missions as well as the technologies developed in support of these programs.As for Earth’s global challenges, we think first of areas where knowledge and technology gained from space are most directly transferable in addressing issues such as climate change and environmental degradation, or impending energy crises and resource depletion. But there are many other potential problems facing our planet, even threatening the very survival of our civilization, if we look at the darker prophecies of scientists such as Lord Rees (‘Our Final Century’) or James Lovelock (‘The Revenge of Gaia’).

On the other hand, a more positive view of our future prospects can be found in recent books by William Burroughs (‘The Survival Imperative:Using Space to Protect Earth’) and by Charles Cockell (‘Space on Earth: Saving our World by Seeking Others’).

Professor Cockell, himself an alumnus of ISU’s Summer Session Program, makes the point that “Many environmentalists think going into space detracts from solving problems here on Earth. Many astrophysicists feel environmentalism hampers their exploration and settlement of space. Actually environmentalism and space exploration have one and the same objective: to ensure humanity has a home”. He calls for a fusion of the two movements as the only way forward – and it is that theme that we want to explore at our 12th Annual Symposium.Our objective is to attract experts from the human spaceflight domain as well as from the Earth and space science communities which, though sometimes seen as being at cross purposes, may well offer different yet complementary solutions to global challenges that we all face.Participants will include members of agencies, industry and academia, plus enthusiasts and studentswith interests in space activities, in global problems of Earth’s environment, energy and resources, and especially the links among them.

The European Science Foundation Meets

Focus of Climate Change in which Strasbourg, France now has a significant impact on world institutions.

Aurora Borealis breaks new grounds - and old ice.

It can crush ice sideways and stay precisely on station to an accuracy of a metre. It can drill a hole 1,000 metres deep into the seabed while floating above 5,000 metres of ocean and it can generate 55 megawatts of power. So far, Aurora Borealis is the most unusual ship that has never been built, and it represents a floating laboratory for European science, a breakthrough for polar research and a very big headache for international lawyers.

Aurora Borealis will be the first ever international ship, the brainchild of the European Science Federation, the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Maritime Research in Germany and the Germany Federal Ministry of Research and Education. Russia has announced that it will be a partner in launching this state-of-the-art research vessel, but other European nations may soon join the project. But a European ship represents a metaphorical voyage into unknown waters, the ESF Science Policy Conference learned.

“We do not have a European flag at the moment so one nation has to be responsible. And if it is internationally owned, you can imagine the difficulty,” said Nicole Biebow, manager of the project, and a scientist at the Alfred Wegener Institute. “We have to agree where this ship should have its home port. And what happens if there is an accident? Who is responsible if you have an oil spill on the ice, for instance?”

The ice over the polar seas masks millions of years of the planet’s history: drilling is difficult in freezing conditions. Aurora Borealis will be the world’s first icebreaker that is also a drilling ship. This sets unusual challenges for marine engineers: a vessel poised on top of 5000 metres of drilling rig cannot afford to move very much in any direction. But ice drifts, and currents and winds can alter in moments. So the ship will be designed not just to break the ice as it moves forward and astern, but also to port and starboard.

“We had some early ice tanks tests and they came up with a design that is able to break ice sideways,” said Paul Egerton, head of the European Polar Board within the European Science Federation. “As the ice continually presses against the side of the ship, the pieces of ice go underneath the hull and are washed away by the propulsion system. There is also a kind of damping system so the ship can raise itself up and down vertically to break the ice. It has a propeller that can turn 360 degrees, linked to satellite navigation. A lot of the cruise ships now have this so they can navigate in a very small area. But the propeller also has to break ice: it has to be strengthened.”

Not only will the diesel-electric ship be the floating equivalent of a 55 megawatt power station, it will be an intellectual powerhouse as well. It will be probe the role of polar waters in global climate change. Drill cores from the sea floor could answer questions about the geological history of the Arctic ocean, and other instruments will measure the transport of contaminants through the air, water and ice. The vessel could be home to 120 people, more than half of them scientists who need to go to sea to study the ice, the ocean beneath and the history of the deep sea floor.
It will be equipped with two “moon pools” in the bottom of the hull to give direct access to the open water beneath the ice, so that drillers can work in freezing conditions and biologists can launch underwater vehicles to study the mysterious processes that trigger an explosion of life in the polar seas every spring. The design and preparation of Aurora Borealis will continue until 2011. Builders could start assembling the hull in 2012, it could be cruising the oceans from 2014 – and it could begin answering some of the great questions of ocean science for the next 40 years.

Strasbourg is the central progressive Europan capital of France's Internationalization and global social and political influences.

In this review one thing should be noted and that is Strasbourg is the central progressive Europan capital of France's Internationalization and global social and political influences. Moreover, and more thant any - where else in Europe, this community has the largest committed community to the idea of the United States of Europe. Something of which has been the talk of its various cafes and entertainment venues.

Why?

Each one of the following European - International institutions has a core of working professionals. And they are ..

The Council of Europe:

Its European Court of Human Rights:

Its European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines;

And its European Audiovisual Observatory.

The Eurocorps:

The European Parliament.

The European Ombudsman of the European Union.

More importantly Strasbourg is an important center of manufacturing and engineering, as well as of road, rail, and river communications. The port of Strasbourg is the second largest on the Rhine after Duisburg, Germany. The city is the seat of the Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine.

This city, likewise, has very deep traditions as ...

Strasbourg's historic center, the Grande Île ("Grand Island"), was classified a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1988, the first time such an honor was placed on an entire city center.

Strasbourg is beautifully fused into the Franco-German culture (Alemannic), and is regarded as the bridge of unity between modern France and Germany.

Strasbourg is also a bridge for Germanic and Latin culture.

And for these reasons Ithaca, New York's best choice for a French Sister City it would be Strasbourg.

Moreover, this effort was started as a result when suggestions were offered by two Cornell student's emails - right after I place Ithaca Night Life ( NightLife ), NY online. Since then I have cover many other communities, and have enlisted help from the very same communities I have covered in my Night Life ( NightLife ), RMC series of blogs, journalsites and websites. Emails come in daily.
