Leopolis Jazz Fest 2020

Posted on by adminzero

Leopolis Jazz Fest (Alfa Jazz Fest till 2017) – international open-air jazz festival, which is annually held in June in Lviv (Ukraine). The first festival was successfully held in 2011. Concerts featuring over a hundred world class musicians, performing on three stages in the city’s downtown area, over 100,000 spectators and around 200 accredited press reporters – this is story of the Leopolis Jazz Fest. The Guardian included festival in the list of the best European festivals.

The initiator of the festival was Mikhail Fridman, a businessman, co-founder of LetterOne, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Alfa Group Consortium. He was born in Lviv.

The title sponsor of the festival until 2018 was Alfa Bank Ukraine, and therefore the festival was called Alfa Jazz Fest. In 2017, it was decided to rename the festival for Leopolis Jazz Fest to indicate its venue (Leopolis is one of the ancient names of Lviv).

In addition to concerts of jazz musicians from around the world, jam sessions, master-classes and autograph sessions of world jazz stars take place during the festival as well.

IT conferences in Latvia

IBM InterConnect, Code/Media, SXSW, Google Next, Microsoft WPC, Adobe Summit…conferences you may have only dreamed of attending! So many technology conferences, so little time (or money).

Regardless of your intent, there’s never a bad reason to maintain a solid network of professionals and experts in your vertical or other fields.

We also know it’s hard to keep track of all the great technology conferences you might want to attend in any given month, quarter or year.

That’s why we developed this sortable list, which we’ll update regularly to include the most relevant tech events. While we’ve naturally focused on shows in the U.S., we’ll pay attention to some of the more notable international events as well.

Primavera Sound 2019 Guide

Posted on by adminzero

Despite being a relatively young festival, the Primavera Sound Barcelona has carved out, with just right, a leading role in the Olympus of international festivals. The merit can be attributed to the character and physiognomy of the Festival; a markedly urban event, in which integration is the common denominator.

Integration as a maximum meeting point between artists and spectators; between people also of different generations. And here, then, that art meets music. And, music becomes union and sharing. Primavera Sound Barcelona is this … and much more.

The event was born in 2001, with the intent to celebrate the end of spring in the best possible way. Until 2005, the Festival took place in the Poble Espanyol location. The response to the terms of turnout, during the first editions, was such as to force the organizers to choose a different venue. From that moment, the Festival takes place at Parque del Fórum of Barcelona. A place worthy of an international event, facing the sea.

Great international artists have performed during the previous 17 editions; Pixies, Arcade Fire, Queens of the Stone Age, The National, Nine Inch Nails, Neil Young, Sonic Youth, Portishead, Pet Shop Boys, Echo & The Bunnymen, Lou Reed, My Bloody Valentine, El-P, Pulp, Patti Smith , James Blake, Cat Power, Public Enemy and many others.

Carnival of Venice 2020 dates: 16 February – 5 March

Las Vegas How To Have Non Gambling Related Fun

Posted on by adminzero

“Why would anyone visit Las Vegas without gambling?”

You’ve probably heard that line a few times if you’re planning a non-gambling trip to Sin City.

Whatever your reason for choosing to avoid the casinos, you’re not alone. The crowds of people (and piles of tourist dollars) that flow into Las Vegas these days have less to do with roulette wheels and blackjack tables than ever before. These days, just 36% of all income on the Strip comes from gambling. Compare that to the mid-80s, when bets made up 60% or more of total Strip revenue.

The city is doing well, in spite of the reduced cash-flow at the casinos. Home prices are up – surprising news for a city hit hard by the burst of the housing bubble less than a decade ago. Unemployment is down – another surprise, especially considering casinos haven’t been in a hiring mood. The New York Times reported on this phenomenon last year.

Dvd Replication For Dummies

Posted on by adminzero

DVD replication is a physical production process that involves actually pressing the discs during manufacture from a glass master. Replicated discs are also referred to as DVD ROM discs, with the ‘ROM’ standing for ‘Read-Only Memory’ (as opposed to DVD-R or DVD+R where the ‘R’ stands for ‘Recordable’).

The glass master is made of glass that has been coated by a chemical, which is burned off with a laser. The glass master is a ‘negative’ of the DVD and it is then coated with a molten nickel compound and turned into a ‘stamper’. The stamper punches tiny pits in the production DVDs that use molten aluminium as the reflective surface and polycarbonate for the remainder of the disc.

DVD replication is a very quick and cost-effective production method for larger quantities of discs (1000 or more). Due to the high setup costs this type of production is not suitable for smaller production runs. Replicated DVDs are then printed using a five colour silk screen or offset lithographic process, resulting in a very high quality disc.

The other main type of CD or DVD production is referred to as CD duplication or DVD duplication and is suitable for smaller production runs with quicker turnaround times. CD and DVD duplication involves burning blank CD and DVD media with a laser to add the file contents onto the discs.
