I fell in love for this beautiful country.

I'm always surprised when I learn that some Lebanese from the north have never gone in the south and vice-versa...

So I wanted to break some prejudices with this blog on which I'll upload many photos and videos from all over the Cedars Country.

It is being led by Canadian-Swiss Bernard Weber and organized by the New7Wonders Foundation, a Swiss-based, government-controlled foundation. This campaign follows the New Seven Wonders of the World, which attracted 100 million votes from around the world.&lt;br /&gt;Voting is scheduled to continue until Nov. 11, 2011...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Official New7Wonders of Nature campaign started in 2007, immediately after the campaign to elect the man-made New Seven Wonders of the World, in which more than 100 million votes were cast. From over 440 participants representing over 220 countries and through a national qualification and race to become one of the Top 77, as well as the recommendations of the Panel of Experts led by Prof. Federico Mayor, the list of 28 "Official Finalist Candidates" has been determined. Voting is underway and will continue throughout 2010 and into 2011. During this time, the New7Wonders World Tour is planned to visit each of the finalists to allow them to present themselves to the voters across the globe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;The 28 finalists&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4V0c1qA0-YA/Tpr7ptngdxI/AAAAAAAAy_c/zfapWqmEsfg/s1600/map.la.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="201" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4V0c1qA0-YA/Tpr7ptngdxI/AAAAAAAAy_c/zfapWqmEsfg/s400/map.la.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Jeita Grotto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DfXWkLw4AlY/Tpr_gAFPIAI/AAAAAAAAy_s/s6Njkb_v5Fc/s1600/jeita.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="136" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DfXWkLw4AlY/Tpr_gAFPIAI/AAAAAAAAy_s/s6Njkb_v5Fc/s200/jeita.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Jeita Grotto is the jewel of tourism in Lebanon offering to its visitors qualified modern services and accommodation in harmony with a fascinating nature.

An established TV and radio personality, John Saad has extensive and diverse professional experience.  He started working as an advertising executive, evolving to become the founder and managing partner of a promotion planning and events management firm.  And over the years he has put his managerial and creative talents to good use in more than 10 countries (including Lebanon, UAE, Jordan, US and UK).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Active on many fronts, John Saad has over 23 years of radio, TV and print experience under his belt.  This paved the way for him to launch and head Virgin Radio Jordan.  Before this, Saad was the catalyst driving the first French radio show in the Emirates and was the main man behind the Music Show on MTV before the TV channel's initial closure.  He also prepared and presented radio chart shows for around 20 years (The UK &amp;amp; US Chart Show on RML and the RML Top 30). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now John Saad's passion for charts and music come to life in the creation of the Official Lebanese Top 20: the first 100% accurate local airplay chart.  In conjunction with devoting time and energy to this weekly chart, Saad will be rekindling his event management expertise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Website : &lt;a href="http://www.olt20.com/"&gt;www.olt20.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zpn11ZATIis/TmJAX924GoI/AAAAAAAAy3o/42JzIQ7NY1c/s1600/top1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zpn11ZATIis/TmJAX924GoI/AAAAAAAAy3o/42JzIQ7NY1c/s400/top1.jpg" width="313" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5596149080432880488-7280449830168746582?l=www.discoveryourlebanon.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/feeds/7280449830168746582/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/2011/09/official-lebanese-top-20.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5596149080432880488/posts/default/7280449830168746582'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5596149080432880488/posts/default/7280449830168746582'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/2011/09/official-lebanese-top-20.html' title='The Official Lebanese Top 20'/><author><name>Hervé Piglowski</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12509275322475731825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/Sld3wJ5YPFI/AAAAAAAAqf0/2Fd1Ua8zzVg/rv4.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-P0R7e467m_0/TmJA_19zNuI/AAAAAAAAy3s/hvJF_g1AukY/s72-c/top2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596149080432880488.post-5114645720711657797</id><published>2011-08-30T22:26:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-30T22:26:39.772+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Environment'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nature'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Culture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Publicity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='History'/><title type='text'>World Heritage List</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_CouJc3YkxU/Tl1G_aBQZSI/AAAAAAAAy3c/LfC4JgvDNWg/s1600/1149-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_CouJc3YkxU/Tl1G_aBQZSI/AAAAAAAAy3c/LfC4JgvDNWg/s1600/1149-1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The World Heritage List includes 936 properties forming part of the cultural and natural heritage which the World Heritage Committee considers as having outstanding universal value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These include 725 cultural, 183 natural and 28 mixed properties in 153 States Parties.

It was established on August 1, 1963 and became fully operational on April 1, 1964. It is currently headed by Riad Salameh, who was named the Middle East's best central bank governor by Euromoney in 2005.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the main responsibilities of the bank is issuing Lebanon's currency, the Lebanese Pound. Other responsibilities include maintaining monetary stability, regulation of money transfers, and maintaining the soundness of the banking sector. Banking is a very important part of Lebanon's economy with over 100 different banks, which makes the role of Banque du Liban particularly important. It currently owns 99.37% of the shares of Lebanon's national carrier, Middle East Airlines. However, plans call for it to sell its stake in the airline by 2008 as part of government plans to privatize many institutions.&lt;br /&gt;The government has recently launched an ambitious 5-year economic reform program in hopes to cut the country's debt. The outcome of the reform program will largely be dependent on Banque du Liban.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides the main branch in Beirut, it has branches in Aley, Baalbeck, Bikfaya, Jounieh, Nabatiye, Sidon, Tripoli, Tyre, and Zahlé.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Website : &lt;a href="http://www.bdl.gov.lb/"&gt;www.bdl.gov.lb&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Governors of BDL&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border=1 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=1&gt;&lt;tr&gt;

Une élection de maréchal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour la première fois, un Libanais, issu d'une famille francophone et chrétienne, entre sous la coupole. &lt;i&gt;"Quand vous êtes un écrivain de langue française, l'Académie française, c'est la référence absolue, le lieu emblématique, dont on rêve depuis l'enfance"&lt;/i&gt;, avoue-t-il.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce rêve de gosse, Amin Maalouf, 62 ans, l'accomplit dans des conditions inespérées. Ancien étudiant en sociologie, il succède à l'ethnologue et anthropologue Claude Lévi-Strauss, dont il admire l'oeuvre tant dans sa dimension intellectuelle que morale. &lt;i&gt;"C'est extrêmement émouvant et intimidant de se retrouver dans ce fauteuil"&lt;/i&gt;, ajoute-t-il.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amin Maalouf est un écrivain inclassable. La culture du nomadisme et de "minoritaire" qui traverse son oeuvre s'explique sans doute par la multiplicité des patries d'origine de l'écrivain. Né en 1949 à Beyrouth, il a passé les premières années de son enfance en Egypte, où vivait son grand-père maternel. Revenu au Liban au moment où la guerre civile éclate, il décide de quitter sa patrie pour la France, en 1976. &lt;i&gt;"Depuis, je les appelle tous les deux mes pays."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dans sa vie, il a toujours eu le sentiment d'être étranger : chrétien dans le monde arabe ou Arabe en Occident. Cette thématique se retrouve au centre de son premier ouvrage, &lt;i&gt;Les Croisades vues par les Arabes&lt;/i&gt;, publié en 1983 aux éditions Jean-Claude Lattès, alors qu'à l'époque il exerce le métier de journaliste. Il rencontre son premier succès de librairie en 1986 avec &lt;i&gt;Léon l'Africain&lt;/i&gt; (Lattès) et décide alors de se consacrer à la littérature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En 1988, il publie &lt;i&gt;Samarcande&lt;/i&gt;, dans lequel, sur un sujet rebattu, il déploie un talent de conteur inspiré. En 1993, il atteint le Saint-Graal, en obtenant le prix Goncourt pour &lt;i&gt;Le Rocher de Tanios&lt;/i&gt; (Grasset), qui a pour décor les montagnes libanaises de son enfance. &lt;i&gt;"Quand j'avais cru atteindre le coeur de la vérité, il était fait de légende"&lt;/i&gt; : cette phrase située à la fin du livre donne une des clés du roman, mais aussi de la personnalité d'Amin Maalouf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suivent, notamment, &lt;i&gt;Les Identités meurtrières&lt;/i&gt;, un essai, en 1998, et &lt;i&gt;Origines&lt;/i&gt;, en 2004, tous les deux chez Grasset, où l'écrivain s'interroge sur des sujets d'actualité qu'il revisite à la lumière de son passé. &lt;i&gt;"Je me suis toujours senti dépositaire de la mémoire des miens, mais je ne pouvais pas écrire tant que mon père et ma grand-mère étaient en vie"&lt;/i&gt;, confiait-il au Monde en 2004.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Engagé dans le siècle&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amin Maalouf se vit aussi comme un écrivain engagé dans le siècle. Dans les années 1990, le drame de la Yougoslavie lui rappelle les blessures du Liban. Passionné par les questions de langue et d'identité, il déteste le concept de "littérature francophone". Il était en revanche, en 2006, l'un des 44 auteurs signataires du manifeste pour la littérature-monde en français, aux côtés de J.M.G. Le Clézio, Alain Mabanckou ou Dany Laferrière. Ce soutien, peu apprécié à l'Académie française, l'avait fait renoncer au fauteuil de Jean-François Revel, en 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cette élection intervient le jour où l'Académie française a décerné près de 70 prix pour l'année 2011, et notamment celui de littérature à l'Algérien Yasmina Khadra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C'est au Liban que l'admission d'Amin Maalouf sous la Coupole promet de faire le plus de bruit. &lt;i&gt;"Les Libanais sont très attentifs au sort de leurs compatriotes à l'étranger et sont encore plus sensibles aux honneurs, quand ils viennent de la France"&lt;/i&gt;, a expliqué le nouvel "immortel".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O5XPLp6XWNg/TgZ9MSviAhI/AAAAAAAAyVw/PRDri7Hal-Y/s1600/academie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="298" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O5XPLp6XWNg/TgZ9MSviAhI/AAAAAAAAyVw/PRDri7Hal-Y/s400/academie.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, default; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;©&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://photos.linternaute.com/m-camille-ramos-6015801" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Camille Ramos&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5596149080432880488-2398930727911769638?l=www.discoveryourlebanon.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/feeds/2398930727911769638/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/2011/06/amin-maalouf-entre-lacademie-francaise.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5596149080432880488/posts/default/2398930727911769638'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5596149080432880488/posts/default/2398930727911769638'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/2011/06/amin-maalouf-entre-lacademie-francaise.html' title='Amin Maalouf entre à l&apos;Académie Française'/><author><name>Hervé Piglowski</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12509275322475731825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/Sld3wJ5YPFI/AAAAAAAAqf0/2Fd1Ua8zzVg/rv4.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HA4O_QKHLaU/TgZ8bXUaL4I/AAAAAAAAyVs/7L-5WCSWaas/s72-c/amine-maalouf.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596149080432880488.post-5029664275422920789</id><published>2011-06-12T04:00:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-06-12T04:00:52.342+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Water'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sport'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Science'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nature'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fun'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ceremony'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Publicity'/><title type='text'>Beirut Boat Show 2011</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yLA0gXpG7eI/TfQclGVJLbI/AAAAAAAAyRo/6VRh2w5xnU0/s1600/boat-home-rob_12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="177" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yLA0gXpG7eI/TfQclGVJLbI/AAAAAAAAyRo/6VRh2w5xnU0/s400/boat-home-rob_12.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;A Maritime Revival&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beirut Boat Show 2010 was worth waiting for.

The emotional TV ads portrayed a young man in a pub in London and a woman in a café at the heart of Paris, two of the most beautiful and exciting cities in the world. Instead of highlighting Lebanese touristic sights, we decided to focus on their feelings once back from their holiday.

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Quelques 120 dossiers présentés, 90 produits sélectionnés et au final 41 primés pour la remise du premier label « produit de l'année ou « Product of the Year » au Liban. La cérémonie a lieu ce mercredi au restaurant Le Mandaloun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;« Pour la première édition, 41 catégories ont été définies. Avec de 2 à 3 produits en moyenne dans chaque catégorie », précise Dory Kfoury, dirigeant de Product of the Year Middle East Lebanon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En France, où ce label a été créé en 1987, l'apparition du logo « élu produit de l'année » sur des bouteilles de shampoings, des sachets de pâtes ou des croquettes pour chien permet d’augmenter les ventes de l’ordre de 10 à 15 % en moyenne, selon l’entreprise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Au Liban, la commercialisation de Product of the Year (le label s’est anglicisé en passant la Méditerranée) est assurée par Product of the Year Middle East Lebanon, au capital de 500 000 dollars et dont la maison mère française possède 10 %.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quel que soit le pays, la procédure est similaire. Les entreprises présentent un dossier afin de permettre à leur produit de postuler. Cette année, 120 produits ont ainsi été présentés.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un « comité d’éthique et de parrainage », composé de douze membres établit ensuite une première sélection à partir des dossiers fournis. Pour 2010, 90 ont ainsi été retenus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En théorie, un maximum de six produits (et un minimum de deux) par catégorie est retenu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Une fois le produit sélectionné, et après acquittement des frais d’enregistrement (2.500 dollars), celui-ci est  soumis à un « panel représentatif de consommateurs ». Au Liban, ce panel se compose de 1.200 individus, interrogés lors d’entretiens particuliers par le groupe Ipsos Stat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce sont ces consommateurs qui valident, à partir d’une description papier, accompagnée de la photo du produit (sans nécessairement tester le produit), leur sentiment d’innovation ou l’attractivité des produits présentés.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dans chaque catégorie, les mieux notés remportent les trophées. « L’énorme avantage pour toutes les marques sélectionnées, c’est qu’elles peuvent consulter les résultats de l’enquête Ipsos. Même pour les perdantes, c’est un outil marketing remarquable pour connaître la perception de son produit par les consommateurs », poursuit Dory Kfoury.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour apposer le macaron « Product of the Year » sur son emballage, les produits élus doivent cependant encore débourser quelque 7 500 dollars pour un an. « Ce label procure un support marketing innovant. Il n’existe pas dans la région de récompense équivalente », reprend Dory Kfoury.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour 2012, Dory Kfoury espère  attirer plus de produits libanais - seulement 22 concourraient cette année et 6 ont été primés - et augmenter le nombre de postulants par catégorie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La liste des lauréats est disponible sur le site : &lt;a href="http://www.productoftheyearme.com/"&gt;www.productoftheyearme.com&lt;/a&gt;

Elle va durer 34 jours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A la fois diplomate et chef militaire, totalement isolé, il va devoir gérer la crise au mieux, autant pour la sauvegarde des populations que pour la préservation des intérêts des Nations unies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Son témoignage est une suite de révélations concernant les prémices d'une guerre en gestation, le récit totalement inédit du déclenchement du conflit, le déroulement au jour le jour des affrontements, les stratégies cachées des belligérants et les nouvelles tactiques de combat. Il analyse également les conséquences du conflit et montre comment la communauté internationale a su prendre en compte la nouvelle donne régionale pour donner à la FINUL une dynamique adaptée. 32 ans après sa création, elle est toujours au Liban Sud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Trois heures plus tôt, les marathoniens prenaient, eux, le départ de la principale course qui sillonnait sur 42,195 km une grande partie de Beyrouth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En plus des éléments qui font le charme habituel de la capitale libanaise, les participants se voyaient proposer un intéressant parcours, serpentant dans les rues de Beyrouth et sa banlieue, à partir de l'avenue Gamal Abdel Nasser, puis Tayyouneh, Omar Beyhum, les avenues Hamid Frangié, Imam Khomeyni, Imam Sadr, Hadi Nasrallah, Béchara el-Khoury, Abdallah Yafi, ensuite Galerie Semaan, rue Gharios, rue de Damas, Chevrolet, Youssef el-Hayek, Marché du dimanche, corniche Pierre Gemayel, la rue d'Arménie, la rue St-Joseph, la route côtière, Zalka, Jal el-Dib, la Marina Dbayé, pour finalement retourner au point d'arrivée, prévu à la place des Martyrs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Domination éthiopienne&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Une fois de plus et comme l'édition précédente, la ligne ne nous a pas réservé beaucoup de surprises sur le plan des résultats techniques, dans la mesure où l'Éthiopien &lt;b&gt;Mohammad Tammam&lt;/b&gt; remportait l'épreuve devant son compatriote &lt;b&gt;Abiri Chan Lima&lt;/b&gt; suivi du Kényan &lt;b&gt;James Makaria&lt;/b&gt; qui a complété le podium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Déjà en tête à mi-course, &lt;b&gt;Tammam&lt;/b&gt; s'est imposé après une impressionnante échappée en solitaire, manquant de peu de briser le record du marathon enregistré l'année passée par son compatriote &lt;b&gt;Mohammad Hussein&lt;/b&gt; (2h16'13'') avec un chrono de 2 heures 16 minutes et quarante-trois secondes.&lt;br /&gt;Le trio de tête africain avait faussé compagnie au peloton des suivants à quelques kilomètres de l'arrivée, mais &lt;b&gt;Tammam&lt;/b&gt; prenait le meilleur sur ses camarades d'échappée pour terminer en première position avec moins d'une minute d'avance sur &lt;b&gt;Lima&lt;/b&gt; et &lt;b&gt;Makaria&lt;/b&gt;, qui ont franchi la ligne d'arrivée tour à tour à une minute d'intervalle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Même ordre d'arrivée des nations chez les dames où l'Éthiopienne &lt;b&gt;Atavera Hotariking&lt;/b&gt; décrochait la première place devant sa compatriote &lt;b&gt;Mihiret Anamo&lt;/b&gt;, suivie de la Russe &lt;b&gt;Irina Kazoboskaya&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Kreidi vainqueur en chaise et Awada premier Libanais&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En chaise roulante, le Libanais &lt;b&gt;Roger Kreidi&lt;/b&gt; a remporté la course devant son compatriote &lt;b&gt;Rachad Hejjaj Mohammad&lt;/b&gt; avec pratiquement plus d'une heure d'avance et un temps chrono de 3 heures 8 minutes et cinquante secondes.. Derrière &lt;b&gt;Mohammad&lt;/b&gt;, c'est &lt;b&gt;Youssef el-Moulla&lt;/b&gt; qui est venu compléter le podium avec un chrono de 4 heures 16 minutes et 1 seconde. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le Libanais &lt;b&gt;Hussein Awada&lt;/b&gt; a été cette année encore le premier Libanais à rejoindre l'arrivée, courant en un temps de 2h 20'31'', soit plus de treize minutes de moins que son chrono enregistré lors de l'édition 2009, brisant de ce fait son record personnel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le deuxième Libanais, &lt;b&gt;Ali Awada&lt;/b&gt;, enregistrait un chrono de 2h 34'58'', devançant de peu &lt;b&gt;Ahmad Farkouchi&lt;/b&gt; qui n'était qu'à quatorze secondes derrière.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Sonia Wansa Hanna, 1re Libanaise sur les 42,195 km&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chez les Libanaises, sur cette distance mythique que représentent les 42,195 km, &lt;b&gt;Marie el-Amm&lt;/b&gt; a mené aisément la course jusqu'au 35e kilomètre. Elle semblait être promise pour la 5e fois a la 1re place du podium libanais. Mais comme dans une tragédie grecque (et c'est le cas de le dire), son talon d'Achille a lâché à 7 kilomètres de l'arrivée. Très vite, &lt;b&gt;Elga Trad&lt;/b&gt; (club Vétérans) comblait les 500 m qui la séparait de &lt;b&gt;Marie&lt;/b&gt; qui, après une courte escale, à la Croix-Rouge, reprenait la course en boitant. Au 36e km, &lt;b&gt;Elga&lt;/b&gt; prenait la tête et bien avant le 37e, &lt;b&gt;Sonia Hanna&lt;/b&gt; (Inter-Lebanon) se plaçait à bonne distance d'&lt;b&gt;Elg&lt;/b&gt;a, reléguant ainsi &lt;b&gt;Marie&lt;/b&gt; à la 3e place. Se retirer de la course ne fut jamais une option pour &lt;b&gt;Marie&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Au 38e kilomètre, &lt;b&gt;Sonia&lt;/b&gt; prenait la tête et à son 2e marathon renversait la table et terminait a la place très bien méritée de 1re Libanaise, suivie consécutivement par &lt;b&gt;Elga&lt;/b&gt; et &lt;b&gt;Marie&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Inter-Lebanon prenait donc la 1re et 3e place chez les Libanaises, tandis que le club des Vétérans remportait la 2e place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;À signaler que ces 2 clubs libanais ainsi que le club de l'Armée libanaise pourvoient la quasi-totalité des coureurs sur route au Liban.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;La palme d'or au BMA&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finalement, la palme d'or de ce marathon revient incontestablement à la société organisatrice BMA (Beirut Marathon Association), qui a accueilli une trentaine de milliers de participants de 86 pays, dans une atmosphère de fête, de convivialité et de courtoisie. Encore une fois, &lt;b&gt;May el-Khalil&lt;/b&gt; et son équipe ont réussi leur formidable pari issu d'un rêve qui a commencé il y a déjà huit ans en 2003. Chapeau donc aux &lt;b&gt;organisateurs&lt;/b&gt;, aux membres de la &lt;b&gt;Croix-Rouge&lt;/b&gt;, aux &lt;b&gt;Forces de sécurité intérieure&lt;/b&gt; et à l'&lt;b&gt;armée libanaise&lt;/b&gt;, ainsi qu'aux &lt;b&gt;bénévoles&lt;/b&gt; de tout poil qui ont su, le temps d'une journée, réunir les Libanais toutes tendances politiques confondues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'édition 2010 du marathon de Beyrouth, sur le plan de l'organisation, n'a plus rien à envier aux grandes villes organisatrices de ce genre de manifestations (New York, Boston, Londres, Paris, Berlin...). Le pactole du vainqueur (25 000 dollars) a lui aussi nettement augmenté puisque, lors de l'édition 2009, le vainqueur n'empochait que la modeste somme de trois mille dollars américains. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Les résultats techniques&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Marathon 42,195 km [International]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;

Au programme, un dîner de gala certes, des réunions avec des rotariens libanais et une tournée du pays. Ainsi, le groupe s'est rendu au Liban-Sud, au Liban-Nord et dans la Békaa. Il a aussi visité la grotte de Jeita et le Musée national. Cette visite devrait encourager les rotariens, étrangers ou d'origine libanaise, à financer certains projets dans le pays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.togetherinlebanon.org/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/TM4EMo1AJ7I/AAAAAAAAuyg/JGu6i95vnz8/s1600/logo-rotaryleb.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nicolas Choueiri&lt;/b&gt;, président du comité organisateur de l'initiative « ensemble pour le Liban », a souligné dans un entretien avec L'Orient-Le Jour que l'association « a notamment pour but de créer des liens entre rotariens du Liban et ceux de la diaspora, ainsi qu'avec les rotariens amis du Liban, qui ont toujours exprimé leur soutien à notre pays ». Il a aussi noté que « c'est la première fois qu'une telle initiative a lieu au Liban ». Il a notamment indiqué que « l'événement se prépare depuis un an. Il a fallu créer le concept, préparer un logo, envoyer les invitations... Dans ce cadre, le comité est entré en contact avec toutes les revues rotariennes du monde et avec les gouverneurs des districts. Un site web a été aussi mis en place ». Il a souhaité que « cet événement, qui a duré cinq jours au Liban, puisse renforcer les liens entre les rotariens locaux et du monde afin qu'ils parviennent à développer divers projets ensemble », notant que le comité œuvrera pour que ce genre d'événement se tienne chaque année. En tout, 225 rotariens venus de 15 pays ont participé à l'initiative « ensemble pour le Liban ». &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wehbé Azar&lt;/b&gt;, ancien président du club Rotary de Beyrouth métropolitaine, a indiqué dans un entretien avec L'Orient-Le Jour que « le Rotary est composé de 32 000 clubs dans le monde, regroupant un million deux cent mille adhérents. Le Liban compte 600 membres divisés en 24 clubs. Fondé en 1905 dans l'Illinois par &lt;b&gt;Paul Harris&lt;/b&gt;, le Rotary a vu le jour au Liban en 1935. Il a eu de prestigieux présidents, notamment &lt;b&gt;Khatchik Babikian&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;Francis Kettaneh&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;Wahib Ninni&lt;/b&gt; et &lt;b&gt;Ignace Mouawad&lt;/b&gt; ».&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Concernant l'événement organisé à Beyrouth, il a souligné qu'il « a pour but de permettre aux rotariens d'origine libanaise de renouer avec leur pays et aux rotariens étrangers d'effectuer des contacts avec les Libanais, et ce dans le but notamment de mettre en place et de financer des projets humanitaires et de développement durable dans tout le pays ».&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il a affirmé que les rotariens qui étaient présents à la réunion de Beyrouth viennent des quatre coins du monde, notamment des États-Unis, de France, de Suisse, de Belgique, d'Italie, d'Allemagne, des Pays-Bas, des Émirats arabes unis, d'Égypte, de Turquie, du Venezuela, du Maroc, du Brésil, de Grèce et de divers pays d'Afrique, dont la Côte d'Ivoire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le Liban fait partie du district 2 450 qui regroupe dix autres pays : la Jordanie, les Émirats arabes unis, Chypre, l'Arménie, la Géorgie, le Soudan, Bahreïn, l'Égypte et la Palestine. Les membres de ces pays se rencontrent une fois par an lors d'une conférence. En février 2011, le Rotary tiendra une réunion sur la paix. Elle aura lieu à Charm el-Cheikh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/TM4E3Mdef3I/AAAAAAAAuyk/Pwx0RE0sMi0/s1600/rotary-leb.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/TM4E3Mdef3I/AAAAAAAAuyk/Pwx0RE0sMi0/s400/rotary-leb.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Des projets humanitaires et de développement&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Assem Abdelrazzak&lt;/b&gt; est le gouverneur du district 2450. Il était à Beyrouth pour l'occasion. Il a affirmé à L'Orient-Le Jour qu'un « tel rassemblement constitue une occasion pour faire connaître aux rotariens de l'extérieur les besoins du Rotary au Liban. C'est une façon de resserrer les liens, de rapprocher les pays et les continents et de renforcer la communication. Lors de ce genre de réunions, on peut trouver des financements pour des projets humanitaires relatifs notamment à l'éducation et à la santé ».&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il a souligné qu'en « Égypte, par exemple, le Rotary s'occupe de projets relatifs à la santé et à l'alphabétisation. En Arménie, l'organisation s'occupe de petits projets concernant les personnes âgées et les enfants dans le besoin ». Concernant le financement des projets, il a mis l'accent sur les fonds accordés dans les pays du monde entier par la Fondation Rotary. Au Liban, les projets financés par le Rotary s'élèvent à quelque 50 000 dollars chacun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jamil Mouawad&lt;/b&gt;, président du Rotary Club de Zghorta-Zawiyé, a indiqué que « les réunions de l'organisation ont notamment pour but de renforcer les liens entre les rotariens alors que les projets de développement exécutés misent sur l'amélioration du niveau de vie des populations. Ils ont un caractère humanitaire. Au Liban, le Rotary aide notamment sur le plan de l'éducation, fournissant des bourses aux étudiants. Certains poursuivent leurs études à l'étranger et optent pour des diplômes relatifs à la paix et à la résolution des conflits, thèmes encouragés dans le monde entier par le Rotary », a-t-il ajouté. M. Mouawad a souligné également qu'au « Liban, le Rotary participe aussi à la mise en place de programmes relatifs à la filtration de l'eau dans les écoles ».&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Reinard Fricke&lt;/b&gt; est ancien gouverneur du district d'Allemagne. Il a affirmé à L'Orient-Le Jour que « la réunion tenue au Liban revêt beaucoup d'importance, car le pays est sorti de la guerre et que cette visite constitue une occasion pour voir ce que les Libanais ont accompli depuis ». « Je suis Allemand, et je sais comme il est difficile de reconstruire un pays et d'œuvrer à la réunification de ses habitants », a-t-il dit. « Nos deux peuples se ressemblent. Ils ont vécu des moments difficiles, mais ils n'ont pas arrêté pour autant d'aimer la vie », a-t-il ajouté.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gianni Jandolo&lt;/b&gt;, rotarien d'Italie, a mis l'accent sur l'importance de « la réunion tenue au Liban, car le pays se trouve au cœur de la Méditerranée et partage avec l'Italie des valeurs communes. Le Liban est également un exemple de coexistence ». Il a aussi souligné qu'actuellement « les Rotary Clubs italiens et libanais se préparent à lancer une initiative commune, qui devrait englober plus tard tous les pays du bassin méditerranéen ».&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Kamal Chehayeb&lt;/b&gt;, originaire de Aley, vit depuis 1967 aux États-Unis. Rotarien depuis vingt ans, il est venu de Detroit pour prendre part à l'événement. Il a mis l'accent sur les projets financés par l'organisation, notamment pour aider les jeunes et pour le développement dans le monde. Il a souligné que « le Rotary Club de Michigan - Detroit avait remis 400 000 dollars au Liban. Grâce à cette coopération, un projet a été mis en place à Aley ».&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le séjour des rotariens venus des quatre coins de la planète a été entamé par une séance inaugurale tenue à l'hôtel Habtoor. Lors de cette séance, &lt;b&gt;Nicolas Choueiri&lt;/b&gt;, président du comité organisateur, &lt;b&gt;Ronald Farra&lt;/b&gt;, deux fois représentant du gouverneur du district, et &lt;b&gt;Farid Gibran&lt;/b&gt;, ancien gouverneur du district, avaient pris la parole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Liens&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://cipfl.hautetfort.com/"&gt;Comité Inter Pays France-Liban&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.togetherinlebanon.org/"&gt;Together in Lebanon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This is Jarre’s first ‘vocal’ album in which he works with several female artists: Laurie Anderson, Natacha Atlas, Deirdre Dubois (Ekova) and Sharon Corr (The Corrs). True to the choice of the title, Jarre allows himself to naturally evolve into a new form of expression, very personal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the dawn of 2001, Jean Michel Jarre teams up with his favourite science-fiction writer Arthur Clarke (2001 Space Odyssey) to create 2001 – Rendez Vous in Space. The state-of-the-art musical and visual odyssey is staged in Okinawa, Japan, with Asian star Tetsuya Komuro “TK” on January 1st 2001 to mark the true arrival of the new Millennium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;June, the same year, Jarre performs two exclusive concerts at the ancient theatre, Herodus Atticus Odeon, at the Acropolis in Athens. Commissioned by the Greek Ministry of Culture, he composes Akropolis, a theme for symphonic orchestra dedicated to the historical site for the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the 7th of September 2002, Jean Michel Jarre chooses the North of the Kingdom of Denmark to celebrate the Wind and renewable energies in a once again totally singular site: a windmill field near the city of Aalborg, where 50 000 paying audience attend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2004 sees the release of the album “AERO” (CD + DVD). “AERO” is a first; the album is constructed in surround sound and dolby digital 5.1. Like the milestones of Mono (1877) and Stereo (1958) that went before it, « AERO » is a unique 360° sound experience that marks a change in the way we listen to music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;October 2004, Jean Michel Jarre performs a historical concert in Beijing at the Forbidden City and Tian’Anmen Square. An audience of over a billion followed the show on Chinese TV (CCTV four different channels), NHK Japan and French national TV.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;August 2005, Jean Michel Jarre was invited by Nobel Peace Prize, Lech Walesa, to celebrate 25th Anniversary of “Solidarnosc” in the shipyard of Gdansk in Poland in front of a paying audience of 170.000. Over 7 million TV spectators followed the concert Live on Polish national TV – TVP1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/TJfOKP8Of3I/AAAAAAAAtz8/gj0jljfsl4o/s1600/JMJ+Beirut.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="214" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/TJfOKP8Of3I/AAAAAAAAtz8/gj0jljfsl4o/s400/JMJ+Beirut.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;December 2006, in partnership with UNESCO, Jean Michel Jarre performed an amazing show in Merzouga - Morocco, in the Sahara Desert, to promote the UN program “Water For Life”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;December 2007 : To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the seminal album, Oxygene, Jean Michel Jarre took over Théâtre Marigny in Paris for 10 extraordinary and intimate concerts, where he performed the entire masterpiece, with the help of three musicians and using the original mythical instruments; more than fifty legendary analogue synthesizers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2008 saw Jean Michel carry the Oxygene electro-accoustic theatrical project across Europe to some of the continent’s most prestigious theatres – London’s Royal Albert Hall, The Carré in Amsterdam, Kremlin Palace in Moscow, The Circus in Stockholm, Berlin, Prague, Warsaw…Jarre played sold-out to audiences that revelled in sharing this unique experience, up-close and personal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2009 – 2010 Jarre embarks on his first ever World Tour inviting the audience to journey into his singular universe; to immerse themselves totally in his world of timeless music and vision, in place and time.

Egyptian papyrus) was imported into Greece. The present day city is now known by the Arabic name Jubayl or Jbeil (جبيل), a direct descendant of the Canaanite name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Byblos (Greek) or Gebal (Phoenician) is located on the Mediterranean coast of present-day Lebanon, about 26 miles (42 kilometers) north of Beirut. It is attractive to archaeologists because of the successive layers of debris resulting from centuries of human habitation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The site first appears to have been settled during the Neolithic period, approximately 5000 BC. Neothlithic remains of some buildings can be observed at the site. According to the writer Philo of Byblos (quoting Sanchuniathon, and quoted in Eusebius), Byblos had the reputation of being the oldest city in the world, founded by Cronus, and was also where Thoth invented writing, but there has not been concrete proof that it is the oldest city in the world. During the 3rd millennium BC, the first signs of a town can be observed, with the remains of well-built houses of uniform size. This was the period when the Phoenician civilization began to develop, and archaeologists have recovered Egyptian-made artifacts dated as early as the Fourth dynasty of Egypt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="242" width="400"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nXD1OooQjns?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=fr_FR"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nXD1OooQjns?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=fr_FR" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="242"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5596149080432880488-5944127649438316406?l=www.discoveryourlebanon.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/feeds/5944127649438316406/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/2010/09/byblos-jbeil.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5596149080432880488/posts/default/5944127649438316406'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5596149080432880488/posts/default/5944127649438316406'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/2010/09/byblos-jbeil.html' title='Byblos, Jbeil'/><author><name>Hervé Piglowski</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12509275322475731825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/Sld3wJ5YPFI/AAAAAAAAqf0/2Fd1Ua8zzVg/rv4.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/TJFO7QpdjYI/AAAAAAAAtsI/q73jV8yErcQ/s72-c/byblos.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596149080432880488.post-1695212160306884217</id><published>2010-09-16T00:42:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-09-16T00:42:07.998+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Culture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Publicity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='History'/><title type='text'>Nostalgy</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;In 2001, two tracks by RAmez were selected to be part of a compilation exclusively distributed in the United States : “Ma flamme” and “Y’aura pas de paix” (Songs from the Edge 2001). &lt;br /&gt;The same year, RAmez released his first underground CD called, “Le Monde est A Refaire” (The World Should Be Rebuilt).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2005, RAmez was recognized and signed a contract with Temple Entertainment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2007, RAmez’s first CD was commercially released all throughout Lebanon and the track &lt;b&gt;“Leich Heik Baladé”&lt;/b&gt; became a major hit during the summer season, reaching number 5 in the NRJ Top 20 and number 24 out of all hits aired on NRJ for the year 2007. &lt;br /&gt;In the same year, RAmez released a new track called &lt;b&gt;“Un Monde de Fou”&lt;/b&gt; on a French Rap compilation while all the songs of the EP became available on the net and kept on playing on radios all over Lebanon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the success of “Leich Heik Baladé” he managed to work with an amazing team to produce in France and Lebanon quality work that he believes you will appreciate. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His new album &lt;b&gt;“Canvas”&lt;/b&gt;

Mais les années de guerre et de crise économique ont radicalement changé son visage. À Beyrouth, désormais capitale du béton, deux Libanaises ont voulu rendre à leur ville, le temps d’une journée, un peu de sa verdure d’antan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dans la capitale libanaise, il existe en moyenne 0,8 mètre carré d’espace vert par habitant, soit une superficie 5 000 fois inférieure à celle recommandée par l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (40 mètres carrés par habitant).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beyrouth s’étend sur environ 20 km2 mais ne dispose que de huit jardins publics d’une superficie totale de 393 000&amp;nbsp; m2. Ses deux plus grands jardins, ceux de Sanayeh (22 000 m2) et de Sioufi (20 000 m2), sont mal entretenus. Quant au bois de Beyrouth (300 000 m2), entièrement dévasté par le feu durant l’invasion israélienne de 1982, il est fermé au public depuis 1990.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le 18 janvier, la municipalité de Beyrouth et l'Agence française de développement (AFD) ont signé une convention de financement de 350 000 euros pour aménager l’espace urbain en augmentant notamment les espaces verts et en créant une zone piétonne et une piste cyclable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fin février 2010, le Parti vert libanais a présenté de son côté un projet décennal très ambitieux qui consiste à transformer la rivière de Beyrouth, sèche durant 8 mois de l’année et longue de 8,5 km, en un parc naturel avec espaces verts, pistes cyclables et cafés.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;"Notre initiative a beaucoup plu et de nombreux passants nous ont lancé des 'bravos !'"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nadine Féghaly&lt;/b&gt; est graphiste à Beyrouth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avec mon amie &lt;b&gt;Dima Boulad&lt;/b&gt;, nous avons décidé d’organiser une action symbolique pour la journée mondiale de l’environnement (le 5 juin) afin d’attirer l’attention du public sur le manque d’espace vert à Beyrouth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Emplacement des 9 morceaux de gazon&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/TA_AoK-73MI/AAAAAAAAtR0/eUAISkEyYwQ/s1600/Carte+des+9+emplacements.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="226" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/TA_AoK-73MI/AAAAAAAAtR0/eUAISkEyYwQ/s400/Carte+des+9+emplacements.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nous avons acheté un rouleau de gazon précultivé et l'avons découpé en carrés. Ensuite, nous avons fixé sur chaque carré une pancarte avec la phrase : "Profitez de votre espace vert". Le vendredi 4 juin, nous avons distribué ces carrés de gazon dans neuf quartiers beyrouthins où la circulation est particulièrement dense. Notre initiative a beaucoup plu et de nombreux passants nous ont lancé des 'bravos !' et des 'bonne idée !'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aujourd’hui, pour chaque nouveau chantier, on abat des arbres. Même le jardin de Sanayeh, le plus grand jardin public de Beyrouth, a failli être en partie détruit au profit d’un parking. Les Beyrouthins ont besoin d’un endroit de verdure pour passer du temps, lire un livre ou regarder simplement leurs enfants jouer. C’est important pour leur bien-être physique et psychologique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Durant les années de guerre, les Libanais n’avaient pas le luxe de penser à l’environnement. Mais aujourd’hui, une nouvelle génération plus sensible aux questions écologiques essaye de faire bouger les choses. En plus des espaces verts, beaucoup réclament des couloirs pour vélos sur les voies publiques ou encore l’instauration de zones piétonnes à Beyrouth, desservie uniquement par tramway."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sites Web&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://dimaboulad.blogspot.com/"&gt;Dima Boulad&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nadinefeghaly.com/"&gt;Nadine Feghaly&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://violatre.blogspot.com/"&gt;Blogue de Nadine Feghaly&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;l'Action en Images&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.fr&amp;amp;noautoplay=1&amp;amp;hl=fr&amp;amp;feat=flashalbum&amp;amp;RGB=0x000000&amp;amp;feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.fr%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fdiscoveryourlebanon%2Falbumid%2F5480792612107673905%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Dfr" height="267" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://picasaweb.google.fr/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Espaces Verts de Beyrouth&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.fr&amp;amp;noautoplay=1&amp;amp;hl=fr&amp;amp;feat=flashalbum&amp;amp;RGB=0x000000&amp;amp;feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.fr%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fdiscoveryourlebanon%2Falbumid%2F5480795464981712273%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Dfr" height="267" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://picasaweb.google.fr/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5596149080432880488-1481119467196608218?l=www.discoveryourlebanon.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/feeds/1481119467196608218/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/2010/06/les-beyrouthines-en-ont-marre-du-beton.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5596149080432880488/posts/default/1481119467196608218'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5596149080432880488/posts/default/1481119467196608218'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/2010/06/les-beyrouthines-en-ont-marre-du-beton.html' title='Les Beyrouthines en ont marre du béton'/><author><name>Hervé Piglowski</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12509275322475731825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/Sld3wJ5YPFI/AAAAAAAAqf0/2Fd1Ua8zzVg/rv4.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/TA-_uY7cA6I/AAAAAAAAtRs/qC4Skxd5Ah8/s72-c/Dima-Nadine-Teaser.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596149080432880488.post-7447887969897013255</id><published>2010-06-06T14:44:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-06-06T14:47:53.452+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Environment'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Science'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nature'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fun'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Culture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Youth'/><title type='text'>Discover Sciences in Lebanon</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Lancé au Festival de Cannes en mai 2009, « à 35mm de Beyrouth » a reçu un accueil prometteur de la presse et les professionnels étrangers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aujourd’hui, « à 35mm de Beyrouth » poursuit sa mission, c’est-à-dire, continue à identifier les besoins de l’industrie cinématographique libanaise afin de combler les vides et de mieux organiser le secteur et ses relations avec l’étranger, en mettant en place des actions concrètes comme la mise à jour régulière du site Internet www.a35mmdebeyrouth.com, la participation active au Marché du Film du Festival de Cannes, et l’organisation de voyages des professionnels étrangers au Liban.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L’équipe de « 35 mm de Beyrouth » est actuellement à Cannes pour suivre de très près et au jour le jour les professionnels du cinéma libanais présents pour le Festival. En direct du pavillon du Liban ou sur la Croisette ou encore au sein du marché du film, la voix et l’image retraceront fidèlement les pérégrinations des scénaristes, réalisateurs, producteurs libanais. Alors le Liban à Cannes en son et en images et espérons-le en lumière !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/S-vLISTT5jI/AAAAAAAAtPc/SqQOJze8tOk/s1600/35min.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="245" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/S-vLISTT5jI/AAAAAAAAtPc/SqQOJze8tOk/s400/35min.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5596149080432880488-7459274631210673889?l=www.discoveryourlebanon.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/feeds/7459274631210673889/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/2010/05/35mm-arrive-au-festival-de-cannes-2010.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5596149080432880488/posts/default/7459274631210673889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5596149080432880488/posts/default/7459274631210673889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/2010/05/35mm-arrive-au-festival-de-cannes-2010.html' title='35mm arrive au festival de Cannes 2010'/><author><name>Hervé Piglowski</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12509275322475731825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/Sld3wJ5YPFI/AAAAAAAAqf0/2Fd1Ua8zzVg/rv4.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/S-vKbk7SdFI/AAAAAAAAtPU/GrUfy4y9i4A/s72-c/logo35min.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596149080432880488.post-5534188573026049301</id><published>2010-05-06T17:58:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-03T21:07:38.212+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Web'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Television'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shankaboot'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Youth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cinema'/><title type='text'>Shankaboot</title><content type='html'>&lt;i&gt;(source :&amp;nbsp;text by Jean-Baptiste Marot, &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.france24.com/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;www.france24.com&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/S-Lle_ll8sI/AAAAAAAAtOY/xJz57jJkbQY/s1600/shankaboot3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/S-Lle_ll8sI/AAAAAAAAtOY/xJz57jJkbQY/s400/shankaboot3.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Algiers to Damascus, it could be the next big thing on the Arab-language Web. Discreetly being tested since March 12, Shankaboot – the Arab world’s first Web series – has already had some success. Less than two months after its first broadcast, the 11 episodes of season one, each of which is between four and five minutes long, have been viewed more than 24,000 times on YouTube. The &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.shankaboot.com/"&gt;shankaboot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; site has had nearly 30,000 visits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Financed by the BBC World Service Trust and the Batoota Films production company, the series tells of the daily life of Sleimane, a young deliveryman who zips through the streets of Beirut on his scooter to deliver medicines, bottles of gas and food to the city’s residents. The stories of several other characters revolve around him, including those of Roueida, a young woman with whom he falls in love, and Chadi, an enigmatic character who is somehow responsible for allowing Sleimane to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being a Web series, Shankaboot was freed from the usual limitations applied to TV programs but had to conform to the formatting needs of the Internet. With its dynamic editing, realistic settings, engaging music and use of regional, idiomatic Arabic, the result is a story that young Lebanese can identify with – one that is a world away from the usual locally produced or imported series that use more formal, literary Arabic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Inciting debate on taboo subjects&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/S-LmLbqKM9I/AAAAAAAAtOg/_8N-Bp1JFyU/s1600/shankaboot2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/S-LmLbqKM9I/AAAAAAAAtOg/_8N-Bp1JFyU/s320/shankaboot2.jpg" width="188" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;“We have worked according to one principle: do not lose the audience’s attention, which can be very fleeting on the Web,” says Katia Saleh, the producer of Shankaboot. “On the internet, people don’t want to watch a long, feature-length film – they want to see things quickly.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a country where Internet connections can be problematic, the series’ authors did not want to make anything too long. Some Internet surfers already have to wait more than half an hour to download one episode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the technical challenges, the Web has many advantages, say its makers. “Shankaboot is not just a Web series,” says Saleh. “It is also an interactive project that, thanks to its forum and its Facebook page, has inspired people to debate subjects that one cannot speak of on either radio or TV in Lebanon.”&lt;br /&gt;In season two, which is being edited now, the series discusses topics that are normally taboo in the Arab world, like corruption, drugs or prostitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The official launch of Shankaboot will take place on June 12 in Beirut, and a large concert with many Lebanese artists has been planned for the occasion. Its promoters are hoping that this big event will allow their Web drama to compete with the Turkish and Latin American televised series that are popular in the region.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Episode 1 - Delivery Interrupted&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="240" width="400"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/90iHTFd4wTo&amp;hl=fr_FR&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/90iHTFd4wTo&amp;hl=fr_FR&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="240"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5596149080432880488-5534188573026049301?l=www.discoveryourlebanon.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/feeds/5534188573026049301/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/2010/05/shankaboot.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5596149080432880488/posts/default/5534188573026049301'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5596149080432880488/posts/default/5534188573026049301'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/2010/05/shankaboot.html' title='Shankaboot'/><author><name>Hervé Piglowski</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12509275322475731825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/Sld3wJ5YPFI/AAAAAAAAqf0/2Fd1Ua8zzVg/rv4.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/S-Lle_ll8sI/AAAAAAAAtOY/xJz57jJkbQY/s72-c/shankaboot3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596149080432880488.post-8580974580817364003</id><published>2010-05-04T21:02:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-05-06T08:17:43.628+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Photography'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Culture'/><title type='text'>"Errance" de Sirine Fattouh</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/S-BwjV4s0hI/AAAAAAAAtN0/T97tkXLQFPE/s1600/7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="215" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/S-BwjV4s0hI/AAAAAAAAtN0/T97tkXLQFPE/s320/7.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L’artiste &lt;b&gt;Sirine Fattouh&lt;/b&gt; réalise sa première exposition solo "&lt;b&gt;Errance&lt;/b&gt;", du jeudi 6 mai 2010 au samedi 22 mai 2010, au cours de laquelle elle présentera plusieurs de ses vidéos et une série photographique. Ces dernières retracent son passage à Beyrouth en 2003 en reprenant le titre du célèbre ouvrage photographique de Raymond Depardon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dans "Errance", Depardon nous fait découvrir son "Genius loci", ces espaces spatiaux et temporels par lesquels il livre son expérience de solitaire, et l’âme des lieux qu’il parcourt. Pour Sirine Fattouh, "Errance" semble avant tout être synonyme d’attachement et de redécouverte de Beyrouth. Beyrouth, ville métamorphosée qui lui permet à chaque voyage de définir une certaine conception de la légitimité. Beyrouth, sa ville natale, sans laquelle elle ne saurait élaborer sa pensée. Beyrouth, hédoniste, nihiliste et décadente. Beyrouth perdue, et éperdue. Beyrouth morte. Mais Beyrouth, à laquelle elle finit toujours par rendre hommage. Dans son rapport au passé, puis au présent, Sirine, en quête d’authenticité, erre dans sa ville et s’imprègne d’une sensibilité singulière. La mélancolie fait certes partie du processus et cadre l’esprit de la ville. Au-delà d’une simple représentation, l’artiste cherche à nous livrer sa perception des lieux et nous engage dans un espace subjectif et hétérogène pourtant si beyrouthin. C’est finalement en renouant un lien rompu, certainement dû à l’exil, que Sirine Fattouh retrace et structure ainsi Beyrouth : « Tant de fois je suis passée devant ces immeubles et ces ruines, jamais je n’avais pris le temps de m’arrêter, d’y poser mon regard et de les contempler. Les distances physique et mentale m’ont appris à observer et à prendre le temps de voir ce qui m’échappait auparavant. J’ai tenté de fixer les moments où Beyrouth s’est dévoilée à moi sans aucune pudeur ni retenue. »&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sirine Fattouh est une artiste libanaise, née à Beyrouth en 1980, et vivant à Paris. Elle a obtenu son DNSEP à l'École Nationale Supérieure d'Arts de Paris Cergy en juin 2006. Doctorante en Arts Plastiques et Sciences de l’art à l’Université Paris 1, Panthéon-Sorbonne, elle y enseigne les Arts Plastiques depuis 2005 et est affiliée au Centre d’Études et de Recherches en Arts Plastiques, le CÉRAP. Son travail artistique, exposé dans le cadre de plusieurs expositions et festivals, est à la fois intéressant du point de vue de sa démarche que de sa finalité.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Stéphanie Dadour&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Galerie&lt;/b&gt;

Les Libanais parlent l'anglais, l'italien en matière d'habillement, le turc et, bien sûr, le français. Si vous n'avez pas vu les spots publicitaires pour l'événement « La France au Liban », allez les voir sur YouTube, ils valent le détour. Parce que l'usage de la langue française par les Libanais est une énigme, une exception culturelle, une espèce de mystère dont même les Libanais ne comprennent pas l'origine. Ces libanismes, ces confusions de sens, ces inversions existent quasiment depuis la nuit des temps...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les plus surpris sont généralement les Français qui entendent pour la première fois la langue de Baudelaire revue et corrigée par une copine, un chauffeur de taxi ou une &lt;b&gt;« tante »&lt;/b&gt; assise à la table d'à côté. &lt;b&gt;« Bonjourak »&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;b&gt;« Bonjourein »&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;b&gt;« Bonsoir, tous les soirs »&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Dès l'entrée, on est prévenu que le menu sera corsé. Les Libanais aiment l'excès, la surenchère. Deux fois bonjour ma chérie parce que tu le vaux bien. Nul besoin de relever tous ces mots français qui sont devenus des mots libanais à part entière, déclinés en verbes, en substantifs ou en adjectifs : &lt;b&gt;« mhastra »&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;« daprass »&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;« pannak »&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;« tmaqyajit »&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;« cousinté »&lt;/b&gt; entre autres, mais surtout le plus répandu, le plus extraordinaire de tous, le fameux &lt;b&gt;« bawmar »&lt;/b&gt;. Il n'y a que les Libanais pour transformer en action le point mort d'une voiture... Dans ce lexique personnel et propre aux Libanais, on trouve de tout donc. Des traductions littérales de l'arabe, des expressions travesties et des fautes de français que les Français eux-mêmes font parfois. Ce ne sont pas ces dernières les plus sympathiques, ce sont toutes les autres. Les réponses à un « merci »... à vous ! Les « tante » pour les femmes d'une autre génération et le &lt;b&gt;« voyageur »&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;b&gt;« Je ne peux pas venir ce soir, j'ai un voyageur. »&lt;/b&gt; Formule qui implique un collègue, un ami, un proche ou un patron automatiquement venu de l'étranger. Parce que le monsieur ou la dame a pris l'avion, le train, le bateau ou la voiture pour venir jusqu'à nous. C'est un « voyageur »...hahahahaha.&lt;br /&gt;Heureusement qu'on ne dit pas quand on l'invite au restaurant, c'est un &lt;b&gt;« mangeur »&lt;/b&gt; ou quand on « veille » ensemble, c'est un &lt;b&gt;« veilleur »&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parce que le Libanais veille. Il ne sort pas, il veille. D'ailleurs, &lt;b&gt;« où tu pars veiller ? »&lt;/b&gt; comprendre « où sors-tu ce soir ? ». Et il ne « quittera » pas tard parce qu'il a un « voyageur » demain, un « voyageur » qui le « parente » et qu'il « fréquente » depuis « 1980 et 11 ».&lt;br /&gt;D'ailleurs, ils ont rendezvous à « 10 heures et demi cinq ». Ok, ce sont des fautes ou des traductions du libanais, mais on a le droit d'acheter une &lt;b&gt;« crosse »&lt;/b&gt; de cigarettes, de boire son Coca avec un &lt;b&gt;« chalumeau »&lt;/b&gt; ou de mâcher son &lt;b&gt;« mastic »&lt;/b&gt;. Chacun son truc. Les Libanaises vont chez la « manicuriste », la même que la femme de celui qui « est descendu aux élections ». On monte et on descend beaucoup au Liban. On &lt;b&gt;« monte de classe »&lt;/b&gt;, on &lt;b&gt;« monte à Faraya »&lt;/b&gt;, on &lt;b&gt;« descend à Beyrouth »&lt;/b&gt;. On &lt;b&gt;« ferme »&lt;/b&gt; le téléphone car, &lt;b&gt;« en tout cas »&lt;/b&gt;, on se voit tout à l'heure. On est &lt;b&gt;« fâché de lui »&lt;/b&gt; parce qu'il &lt;b&gt;« a ri de moi »&lt;/b&gt;. On fait du sport &lt;b&gt;« un jour oui, un jour non »&lt;/b&gt; avec ses nouvelles &lt;b&gt;« espadrines »&lt;/b&gt;... On &lt;b&gt;« demande »&lt;/b&gt; une question à une connaissance et on lui dit en fin de conversation lorsqu'on l'a croisée par hasard, &lt;b&gt;« fais-toi voir »&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;b&gt;« Ne me dis pas »&lt;/b&gt; que tu connais Flén !!! Je te jure, &lt;b&gt;« moi et lui »&lt;/b&gt; on était ensemble à l'école et c'est aussi un &lt;b&gt;« ami à »&lt;/b&gt; Far7a et Mar7a. Et des comme ça, il y en a des tonnes.&lt;br /&gt;Des fautes d'orthographe sur certaines enseignes, des fautes de sens, de grammaire, de compréhension, on en rencontre tous les jours. C'est ce qui fait le charme de cette langue, si riche et si drôle à la fois. Ces erreurs, ces petites fautes sont touchantes, attendrissantes. Elles sont libanaises, elles font partie de nous et c'est ce qui les rend belles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nulle part ailleurs qu'ici, au pays de Khalil Gibran, des Cèdres et de Mika, vous entendrez quelqu'un appeler un garçon dans un restaurant : &lt;b&gt;« maître »&lt;/b&gt;. Yalla, c'est fini.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Initiated in Switzerland under the initiative of Mr Bugnion, founder of the Association of the Polyathlon in Switzerland, it was introduced to the Lebanon in 2008 by M. Vincent Nassar. The event this year in 2009, unfolded for the second consecutive year in Lebanon, from October 24th to October 31st, under the High Patronage of the Commander in Chief of the Lebanese Army, General John Kahwagi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Byblos, to the top of Quornet Al Saouda at 3.088 meters altitude, an array of sports activities took place, from swimming, to rafting, to all sorts of racing... it was an event that thrilled all. Ninety two sports enthusiasts participated which included sixteen students of different nationalities : Swiss, French, Columbian, Canadian, Russian, Belgian, German and Lebanese.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

Notre premiere démarche a débuté le samedi 8 août 2009 autour du grand barrage de Chabrouh dans la région du Mont-Liban, Faraya. Plus de 70 bénévoles étaient présents et ont planté plus de 150 cèdres.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cette initiative est soutenue par plusieurs organismes nationaux, régionaux et internationaux, à savoir : le Ministère de l’Eau et de l’Energie, le Ministère de  l’Agriculture, le Ministère de l'Environnement, ainsi que la FAO (Organisation des Nations-Unis pour l'Alimentation et l'Agriculture).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Contacts&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=7874206611"&gt;Groupe Facebook&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="mailto:fi.2o@hotmail.com"&gt;Courriel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/Sp2Sck1BC-I/AAAAAAAAq5s/Zbwko-HvanA/s1600-h/fi2o2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 277px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/Sp2Sck1BC-I/AAAAAAAAq5s/Zbwko-HvanA/s400/fi2o2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376614549770275810" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5596149080432880488-5784927159346113939?l=www.discoveryourlebanon.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/feeds/5784927159346113939/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/2009/12/action-de-fi2o-en-faveur-de-lecologie.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5596149080432880488/posts/default/5784927159346113939'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5596149080432880488/posts/default/5784927159346113939'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/2009/12/action-de-fi2o-en-faveur-de-lecologie.html' title='Fi2o Action for Environment'/><author><name>Hervé Piglowski</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12509275322475731825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/Sld3wJ5YPFI/AAAAAAAAqf0/2Fd1Ua8zzVg/rv4.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/Sp2RaksUcrI/AAAAAAAAq5c/jgBiezD9was/s72-c/fi2o1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596149080432880488.post-9142438202754220694</id><published>2009-12-09T00:52:00.012+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-09T01:41:50.130+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Culture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Publicity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='History'/><title type='text'>Thalassa TV Show discovers Lebanon and Syria</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xpMSP8gP4YA/Sx7lEDgxyBI/AAAAAAAADkA/FWp2sf0A_AU/s400/thalassa.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Friday, December 11, 2009&lt;br /&gt;France3 channel at 8h35 pm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C’est un monde méditerranéen en pleine métamorphose qu’aborde ce soir l’expédition Thalassa. Depuis le Liban où la goélette scientifique Tara fait escale, nous montrerons un littoral chargé d’histoire ancienne et d’histoire récente. Entre les ruines phéniciennes et les traces de la guerre, les libanais  imposent leur appétit de vivre, de survivre. Partout le pays se reconstruit, Beyrouth la capitale explose de jeunesse, et du nord au sud, nous rencontrerons celles et ceux qui, toutes confessions confondues, croient passionnément en leur pays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Métamorphose aussi chez le voisin syrien, dont la côte ne fait que quelques dizaines de kilomètres. Le bord de mer devient attractif, et l’on vient de la capitale pour y séjourner au frais, comme sur l’île tranquille d’Arwad. On y croise les plus grands armateurs du pays et les meilleurs charpentiers de marine. Plus loin, le port de Lattakié connaît un essor sans précédent, et à travers lui, la Syrie joue à plein son rôle de débouché maritime méditerranéen de l’Iran et de l’Irak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px;

Dioscore demande à être son bourreau. Son père lui laissa à peine le temps de faire une prière avant de lui couper la tête. Sur le chemin du retour, triomphant et heureux d’avoir servi les idoles de l’empire, Dioscore fut frappé par la foudre qui réduisit son corps en cendres.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour cette raison, tous les corps de métiers utilisant la poudre et le feu l’ont choisie comme Sainte Patronne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La Sainte-Barbe se fête le 4 décembre (jour de sa mort), mais son nom a disparu en 1970 du calendrier romain. L’Eglise Catholique justifie sa décision en arguant que la vie de Sainte Barbe est purement légendaire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://cigalemistralavande.c.i.pic.centerblog.net/kkxxopwr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="291" src="http://cigalemistralavande.c.i.pic.centerblog.net/kkxxopwr.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Blé de la Sainte Barbe&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sainte Barbe au Liban&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Berbara mbarké !&lt;/i&gt; (Joyeuse Sainte Barbe!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;S'il fait beau à la Sainte Barbe il fera beau à Noël.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selon une autre légende, Sainte Barbe serait née au Liban (alors possession byzantine), à Héliopolis (aujourd'hui Baalbek), sous le règne de l’empereur Maximien. C'est pourquoi au Liban, tous les 4 Décembre, on commémore également Sainte Barbe. Ainsi, les enfants libanais se déguisent, à l'instar de Sainte Barbe qui s'était enfuie déguisée, et vont frapper aux portes du voisinage, quémandant des sucreries tout en jouant du tambour et en chantant dans les rues un air traditionnel :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hechlé berbara wil ame bil mghara&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Barbe s'est enfuit et le blé est dans la grotte)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sainte Barbe s'était nourrie de blé pendant sa fuite, les libanais préparent donc en son honneur un plat traditionnel à base de sucre, de graines de blé et d'anis, plat destiné à être mangé en famille. On partage également tout un assortiment de pâtisseries traditionnelles : du makroun (semoule frite sucrée), du mchabbak (semoule en forme de filet imbibé de sirop), des atayefs (pâte sucrée fourrée aux noix ou à la crème), etc...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://araspastry.com/imgfullmiddleeastern/atayef_asafiri.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" src="http://araspastry.com/imgfullmiddleeastern/atayef_asafiri.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Photo © araspastry.com&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Découvrez le site Internet "Joyeux Noël" en cliquant sur la bannière ci-dessous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://noel-joyeux.blogspot.com/2009/11/4-decembre-cest-la-sainte-barbe.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="126" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/S1mD5M-QNSI/AAAAAAAAs10/ftypo9VuheE/s400/joyeuxnoel2009.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5596149080432880488-6658660038880473890?l=www.discoveryourlebanon.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/feeds/6658660038880473890/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/2009/12/sainte-barbe.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5596149080432880488/posts/default/6658660038880473890'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5596149080432880488/posts/default/6658660038880473890'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/2009/12/sainte-barbe.html' title='Sainte Barbe'/><author><name>RV</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01572102679168819317</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xpMSP8gP4YA/StPjMEx_O3I/AAAAAAAABfQ/a6J94waiOfw/S220/LibanHTML.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xpMSP8gP4YA/Sxq7KxKNGdI/AAAAAAAADi4/X5aaYxxEgPU/s72-c/sainte+barbe.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596149080432880488.post-9212088186467024339</id><published>2009-12-02T17:41:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-04T08:11:19.823+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marathon'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sport'/><title type='text'>Marathon de Beyrouth</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.beirutmarathon.org/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xpMSP8gP4YA/SxaYgu5_T-I/AAAAAAAADcU/5fKEQdoxqNk/s400/banner+300x600+eng.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.beirutmarathon.org/"&gt;Beirut Marathon Association&lt;/a&gt; (BMA) is a non-profit non-governmental organization registered under the Ministry of Youth and Sports. BMA was founded in August 2002 with the purpose of organizing the annual Beirut International Marathon in Lebanon. The &lt;a href="http://www.beirutmarathon.org/"&gt;Beirut International Marathon&lt;/a&gt; (BIM) is an annual event. The first ever BIM was held on October 19, 2003 and attracted over 6,000 runners from 49 different countries and tens of thousands of spectators in Lebanon and around the world. These numbers doubled in the 2004 Beirut International Marathon. In addition to promoting running, health, and personal achievement, the BIM also has a humanitarian dimension that aims at making a difference in other people's lives through sports.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

In August 1921, Sabbah traveled to the U.S. to study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for one year. In 1922, he enrolled at the University of Illinois, where he earned a master's degree in engineering sciences in 1923. He was hired by the engineering laboratory of the General Electric Company (GE) at Schenectady, N.Y. in1923. It was not long before his research efforts resulted in a number of patents. However, Sabbah had signed a contract with GE whereby all his inventions became the property of the company, and so he received a reward of one dollar for each of his patented inventions. Between 1927 and 1935, Sabbah invented 52 different applications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.atlasgeo.net/flags/icones/France1.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.atlasgeo.net/flags/icones/France1.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Hassan Kamel Al-Sabah (16 août 1895 Nabatieh, Liban, 31 mars 1935) est un scientifique et inventeur libanais&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xpMSP8gP4YA/Sw4E9rrE6-I/AAAAAAAADWw/qseUxmnCQsA/s1600/DSC04859.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xpMSP8gP4YA/Sw4E9rrE6-I/AAAAAAAADWw/qseUxmnCQsA/s320/DSC04859.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Biographie&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il commence l’école primaire à Nabatié en 1901. En automne 1908, il rentre au collège Sultania à Beyrouth. Ses oncles maternel cheikh Ahmad Reda, et paternel Saïd Sabbah prennent soin de lui donner une grande culture. Au début de l’année 1921, et après plusieurs voyages à travers le monde, il revient à Beyrouth où il étudie les mathématiques à l’université américaine. De là, il rejoint le Massachusetts Institute of  Technology à Boston, puis l'université de l'Illinois, où il obtient en 1922 une maîtrise en sciences de l'ingénieur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il meurt en 1935 dans un "accident de voiture" en laissant derrière lui des dizaines d'inventions pour lesquelles il a gagné 11 prix d’excellence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il avait plusieurs opinions sur la morale sociale. Il était persuadé que l’Islam est l’une des conditions de l’entente entre les humains et que la politique étroite cause énormément de malentendus entre les gens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Principaux travaux&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hassan Sabbah est surtout un inventeur dans le domaine de la technologie, en électricité et électronique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En 1923 il est engagé comme chercheur chez General Electric et signe un contrat par lequel toutes ses inventions futures deviennent propriété de l’entreprise, lui-même recevant un dollar pour chaque brevet. Il inventera cinquante-deux applications entre 1927 et 1935.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En 1928 il rend visite au prince Chakib Erslan aux États-Unis ; ils étudient ensemble la possibilité de profiter de ses inventions pour faire des constructions dans les pays arabes du Golfe et surtout dans les déserts. Le prince contacte donc tous les rois et princes arabes pour ce projet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toutes ses inventions se situent dans les domaines suivants : courant électrique, éclairage urbain et moteurs synchrones. En plus de ces domaines, il a fait des recherches sur des théories de mathématiques et d’électricité.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il a notamment permis l'avancement de la recherche sur la transmission télévisuelle (télévision hertzienne).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il a ensuite souhaité revenir à son pays natal, le Liban, amenant avec lui l'une de ses principales inventions : &lt;b&gt;transformer l'énergie solaire en énergie électrique&lt;/b&gt;. Après son décès, il laisse derrière lui 70 inventions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="400"

le Prix Nobel 2008 Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio – et a proposé un programme très dense de rencontres-débats et de lectures, des animations et des expositions à destination du public scolaire, des journées professionnelles, un Pavillon dédié aux littératures francophones du sud, la remise du Prix des cinq continents, ainsi que de nombreux autres événements, dont l’arrivée en rade de Beyrouth du

alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386259698421403490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Le secrétaire général de l’Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), &lt;b&gt;Abdou Diouf&lt;/b&gt;, a demandé aux jeunes francophones de s’approprier l’espoir, de voir émerger un monde meilleur d’où seront absentes la violence et la haine pour le triomphe de la solidarité et de la diversité.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Mon message à l’endroit de la jeunesse francophone se résume en un seul mot : espoir", a dit M. Diouf, dimanche à Beyrouth où il présidait aux côtés du président du Liban, le lancement officiel de la 6ème édition des Jeux de la francophonie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le secrétaire général de l’OIF a lancé ce message après avoir déploré la violence et la haine qui continuent de caractériser le monde qui a du mal à cultiver les différences contrairement aux objectifs de la francophonie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abdou Diouf a souligné la symbolique d’organiser ces jeux dans une région du monde marquée par la résurgence de la division sur fond de conflits armés et de violence perpétré souvent envers des jeunes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il a salué le message que le Liban lance au monde en accueillant le 20ème anniversaire des jeux de la francophonie dont la première édition a été organisée en 1989.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"L’organisation des jeux ici à Beyrouth est une victoire du dialogue sur l’intolérance, des urnes sur les armes", a dit M. Diouf qui appelle le monde à user du dialogue pour "transcender la haine et la violence".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Le dialogue, c’est transcender la haine et la violence", a-t-il lancé aux jeunes jeunes, soutenant que "les jambes de vingt ans sont faites pour aller jusqu’au bout du monde, les cœurs de 20 ans sont fait pour atteindre un idéal".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En plus de son message axé sur l’histoire, le secrétaire général de l’OIF dont le discours a été très applaudi, s’est réjoui de la situation de paix retrouvée par le Liban marqué par des années d’instabilité.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour lui c’est la preuve que l’on "n’assassine pas l’avenir, on n’assassine pas l’espoir".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cérémonie d'Ouverture&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://flv-player.net/medias/player_flv_maxi.swf" width="425" height="330"&gt;     &lt;param name="movie" value="http://flv-player.net/medias/player_flv_maxi.swf" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /&gt;&lt;param name="FlashVars" value="flv=http%3A//a452.g.akamai.net/7/452/1879/v2/viewontv.download.akamai.com/1879/tv5/saisonmed/jeuxdelafrancophonie_270909.flv&amp;amp;title=Cérémonie d'Ouverture des VIème Jeux de la Francophonie&amp;amp;startimage=http%3A//lh4.ggpht.com/_xpMSP8gP4YA/SsVncNziOqI/AAAAAAAAALA/gnai84-4aa4/ceremonie%2520d%2527ouverture%252027-09-2009%2520%252835%2529.jpg&amp;amp;width=425&amp;amp;height=330&amp;amp;showfullscreen=1" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Album-Photos&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="400" height="267" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&amp;noautoplay=1&amp;hl=fr&amp;feat=flashalbum&amp;RGB=0x000000&amp;feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fdiscoveryourlebanon%2Falbumid%2F5387825826502173873%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Dfr" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5596149080432880488-5217938895185978669?l=www.discoveryourlebanon.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/feeds/5217938895185978669/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/2009/10/jeux-de-la-francophonie-beyrouth-2009.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5596149080432880488/posts/default/5217938895185978669'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5596149080432880488/posts/default/5217938895185978669'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.discoveryourlebanon.com/2009/10/jeux-de-la-francophonie-beyrouth-2009.html' title='Jeux de la Francophonie - Beyrouth 2009'/><author><name>RV</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01572102679168819317</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xpMSP8gP4YA/StPjMEx_O3I/AAAAAAAABfQ/a6J94waiOfw/S220/LibanHTML.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LbV9TYDRTO0/Sr_WqHhpD2I/AAAAAAAArFA/qp4GGy4I1iI/s72-c/Jeux+Francophonie+2009.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
