Cordova 40, un voilier en aluminium pour voyager partout

Le Cordova 40, du chantier Normandy Yacht Service, est un voilier de voyage pensé pour les mers les plus difficiles.

Ce voilier de voyage est proposé en deux versions, dont une a salon de pont. Le Cordova 40 est un voilier de voyage en aluminium, dessiné par Jean-François André.

Le Cordova 40, dériveur intégral de voyage en aluminium

Le CORDOVA 40 est un dériveur intégral de 11.98 mètres qui se veut simple, efficace et solide. La construction a été réalisée au chantier NYS sous la responsabilité de Patrick LENORMAND. L’architecte Jean-François ANDRE à conçu ce voilier avec un volume intérieur très important du fait de l’absence de jupe. La jupe a été remplacée par une plateforme articulée qui permet un accès à la mer très simple. Photo chantier

Un voilier à salon de pont pour plus de confort

En 2016, une version salon de Pont a été présentée au Grand pavois de la Rochelle. Cette évolution permet de gagner encore plus de volume et de confort à bord, idéal quand on navigue sous de climats plus froids. Les premiers plans semblent montrer que le bateau peut proposer 2 cabines plus des couchettes en coursive, ainsi qu'un local technique. Tout cela en proposant un véritable carré offrant une vue sur mer sur 360° et un vrai espace de vie pouvant accueillir 8 personnes.

Lorenzo and democracy at risk

Lorenzo and democracy at risk

Mexican democracy was in a predicament, and Lorenzo Cordova gave birth. The President Councilor of the National Electoral Institute has finished complicating a gloomy political panorama that could dismantle four decades of advances in the reliability of elections in Mexico. How much of the hope that Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador does not capture the INE happens because that institution does not…

I could not tell you 4 names in good consience, because i have no knowledge who all of his friends are or how close if at all he really has been with them. It is one thing to take a picture with someone and quite another to think that it automatically makes them "besties". Yes we all know the most famous ones Oscar, Sarah etc, but it realy does not go much further than that. The man has lived quite a long and illustrious life after all to assume we know much of anything.

I did not say that all the people he takes pictures with are his close and current friends. I don't pretend to know his life, far from it

.I said that since he was very active on social media, he often posted or reposted photos of with close friends when he met up with them. Not all the time of course but sometimes yews This includes Cat, Ben Schwartz, R. Diament, Erin M. I. Cruz Cordova, Ana DR. Edgar R. Jason B. and many others th. Through his posts and captions, one can determine who his close friends are.

What I said : I find it curious that if SM and Pedro were as close as they are now, or at least saw each other as much as they do now, that there aren't pics evidence of their close friendship until 2021. (As for now)

I don't know how many times they hang out last year but in a span of almost a year, there are now pics of them thanks to Maria B, SM friends and PP' friends from Colombia. One from UK and the other San Andre's.

Do you understand my point of you ?

Burdett-Coutts sundial and lesbianism and transgender history

History

The public gardens around the St Pancras Old Church were opened in 1877,after the churchyard was closed for burials in 1850.The gardens are made up of part of the old churchyard for the church of St Pancras,enlarged in 1800,and a separate burial ground for St Giles-in-the-Fields,added 1803.It was a preferred burial place for Catholics,with an area devoted to French émigrés.The burial ground and churchyard were partially destroyed by the development of the Midland Railway;the company formed a cutting in 1865 for the construction of the railway lines from St Pancras Station.The clearances of tombs and bodies was highly controversial and caused considerable protest;the graves were dug up at night,behind screens,a process overseen by Thomas Hardy,then an apprentice architect,and many years later recorded in a poem,‘The Levelled Churchyard’(1882).The grandest tombs survived,including the tomb to Sir John Soane(d 1837)and his wife(d 1815),but others were moved.The ground was levelled and the headstones were placed in mounds or around the walls.In 1875 the remaining land was acquired by the St Pancras Vestry for use as public space,and the gardens were opened to the public in June 1877;Baroness Burdett-Coutts laid the foundation stone of the monument she had presented,to commemorate the graves disturbed in the construction of the railway.The gardens were laid out in their present form in 1890-1 by the Vestry,in conjunction with the Midlands Railway Company. Angela Georgina Burdett, suo jure Baroness Burdett-Coutts(1814-1906)was a prominent philanthropist who is estimated to have given away between £3 and £4 million.As described by her biographer Edna Healey,in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography,Burdett-Coutts set a new standard in philanthropy:prompt and practical,her charity was given with style and without condescension.In her time she was an honoured institution and most of her enterprises bore lasting fruit.Even her visionary schemes that did not survive–Columbia market and Columbia Square–served as models for the shopping precincts and housing estates of a later era.In the breadth and sincerity of her sympathies and in the variety of her social and intellectual interests she has had no rival among philanthropists before or since.Her example not only provided an immense stimulus to charitable work among the rich and fashionable but also suggested solutions to many social problems.She was the first woman to be given a peerage,in 1871,and was thus described by Edward VII:‘after my mother the most remarkable woman in the country’.Burdett-Coutts lived with her companion and partner Hannah Brown for 52 years,after whose death,she married her protégé,William Lehman Ashmead Bartlett;it was called the ‘mad marriage’ by Queen Victoria,for Burdett-Coutts was 66,and Bartlett 29. Burdett-Coutts commissioned this memorial to commemorate a diverse group of people whose graves had been destroyed by the development of the railway.Among the names included on the memorial is that of the Chevalier d’Eon,who was a celebrated French spy and diplomat in the eighteenth century.The Chevalier lived the first part of their life as a man and the latter as a woman.Their gender was widely speculated about,and they were written about in many satires and pamphlets.D’Eon used female pronouns in later life,and signed their name as Mademoiselle d’Eon. Numerous other significant historic figures are noted on the memorial, including Sir Edward Walpole, Sir John Soane, and sculptor Thomas Flaxman, whose tomb (q.v.) stands nearby. The burial of Sidly Effendi, the Turkish Ambassador, presumably a Muslim, is quite unusual. In line with Burdett-Coutts’s humanitarian principles, a special dedication is made to the ‘memory of those whose graves are now unseen, or the record of whose names may have become obliterated’.

Amongst people commemorated is the Chevalier d'Eon (1728 – 1810) , an 18th century French spy, diplomat and freemason whose gender transition was recognised in French and English law.

For 33 years, from 1777, d'Éon dressed as a woman, claiming to have been female at birth. Doctors who examined d'Éon's body after d'Éon's death discovered that d'Éon would have actually been designated male at birth.

FREE book on how to get published! And yes, that means self-published too!

ProWritingAid (who run BRILLIANT software I’ve raved about before) have released a FREE book which answers so many of those questions you want to ask...

Should I go with traditional, indie, or hybrid publishing? How do I write a pitch? What kind of royalties should I expect? What the heck are beta readers and why do I need them?

Publishing is an ever-changing business. As a result, these and many other questions are at the forefront of the modern-day writer's brain. You've probably asked them yourself! In How to Go from First Draft to Published Author, we guide you through the entire process, from refining your manuscript to choosing a publishing track to releasing your book into the world. In addition to our own fantastic writers  here at ProWritingAid, this book also contains advice from industry experts such as BookBaby's Andre Calilhanna, Kindlepreneur's Dave Chesson, Reedsy's Savannah Cordova, and TCK Publishing's Tom Corson-Knowles.
