# Valérie Aimard

Valérie Aimard (born June 1969) is a French classical cellist.

## Life

Born in Lyon, Aimard studied with Michel Strauss and Philippe Muller at the Conservatoire de Paris. She obtained a first prize in cello and a first prize in chamber music, and followed the perfectionnement cycle.
In 1992, she met Bernard Greenhouse, a student of Pablo Casals, a founding member of the Beaux Arts Trio, who became her master.
She has won several international cello and chamber music competitions (including first prize in the Maria Canals International Music Competition in 1991). She has performed in some twenty countries in recitals, chamber music and as a soloist, and has been invited to the United States for three consecutive summers at the Marlboro Music School and Festival.
Her recordings have received several awards (Diapason d'Or, Choc du Monde de la Musique, ffff de Télérama), in particular the recording of works for cello and piano by Felix Mendelssohn in 1997. When it was published in early 1998, the Diapason magazine wrote:
   Valérie Aimard stood out two years ago with Kodaly's sonata for solo cello in which she affirmed a perfect mastery of the instrument in all expressive registers, and a stylistic requirement that gave hope for a continuation. What amazes me first of all about Valérie Aimard is the material: a generous sound that radiates without ever seeking the effect for itself, an infallible sense of long phrasing. And then she knows how to make Mendelssohn sing on the razor blade, with her puffs of enthusiasm and her veils of modesty: neither excessive romanticism nor stiffness[…]
Aimard is a lecturer in Teacher Training at the 2nd cycle in the Pedagogy Department and teaches chamber music at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cycles in the Classical and Contemporary Instrumental Disciplines Department of the Conservatoire de Paris.
She has performed with her brother, the pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard, at the Edinburgh Festival, Aldeburgh Festival, Piano Ruhr Festival, Festival de La Roque-d'Anthéron and in prestigious venues such as the Kioi Hall in Tokyo and the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris
In addition to classical music concerts, Aimard gives mime shows alone on stage, "Bulles", where she "shares her passion for the art of pantomime".

# California State Route 167

State Route 167 (SR 167) is a state highway in the U.S. state of California in Mono County. From U.S. Route 395, SR 167 runs along Pole Line Road north of Mono Lake eastward to the Nevada state line where it meets Nevada State Route 359. This road runs almost completely straight, and can be seen almost 15 miles (24 km) into the distance as a straight line.

## Route description

SR 167 begins with an at-grade intersection with U.S. Route 395. The road then heads northeastward in a straight line, moving slightly north of the north shore of Mono Lake. The route continues in a straight line through a barren landscape in Mono County where it intersects Dobie Meadows Road. SR 167 meets its eastern terminus at the Nevada state line. The road continues as Nevada State Route 359 through Mineral County.
SR 167 is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System, but is not part of the National Highway System, a network of highways that are considered essential to the country's economy, defense, and mobility by the Federal Highway Administration. SR 167 is eligible to be included in the State Scenic Highway System, but it is not officially designated as a scenic highway by the California Department of Transportation.

## Major intersections

Except where prefixed with a letter, postmiles were measured on the road as it was in 1964, based on the alignment that existed at the time, and do not necessarily reflect current mileage. R reflects a realignment in the route since then, M indicates a second realignment, L refers to an overlap due to a correction or change, and T indicates postmiles classified as temporary (for a full list of prefixes, see California postmile § Official postmile definitions).

The government sealed Independent Newspapers' presses and closed it down on 19 April 1974 using the Emergency (Defence) Regulations. Independent Newspapers resumed publication on 30 March 1977 but the three-year closure had taken its toll. Due to financial problems, Independent Newspapers and its various publications closed down on 26 December 1990.
# CentreComm

CentreComm, first renamed as the NMCC (Network Management Control Centre) and again to SCC (Service Control Centre) is Transport for London's emergency control room for London Buses. CentreComm's primary purpose is to provide an emergency control centre for London Buses contracted bus network. It is co-located with Transport for London's LSTCC centre which control London's traffic lights and traffic flow.
Should an incident require an emergency response such as road closures, accidents, robberies, theft, vandalism or assault; CentreComm would activate an emergency response such as calling the emergency services or diverting buses as appropriate.
CentreComm was conceived in 1979 and consisted of a mere handful of people equipped with two-way radios and paper records. In 2013 they had constant radio contact with all 8500 buses on the network via the iBus radio system. Through GPS fitted to each of London's buses they can monitor their location at all times.
CentreComm is in operation 24 hours a day 364 days a year, with Christmas Day being the only day it is closed.
For bus drivers, conductors and passenger assistants their services are activated via the IBus (London) system by initiating a code red (emergency) or code blue (information) call. For garage-based bus operator staff they are contacted via the telephone or by email.

# Tony Kofi

Tony Kofi (born 10 July 1966) is a British jazz saxophonist and flautist. He leads a trio and quartet and is co-founder of the Monk Liberation Band. His trio includes drummer Winston Clifford and Hammond B3 organist Anders Olinder. Kofi is signed to the Specific Jazz label. He has twice won BBC Jazz Awards: Best Instrumentalist in 2008 and Best Album in 2005 for All Is Know. Tony joined Grand Union Orchestra in 1998, led by artistic director Tony Haynes, and has been a prominent player ever since. In May 2021 Kofi appeared on BBC Radio 4 to discuss his early life and the life-changing event that led him to take up the saxophone.

## Early life

Kofi was born in Nottingham to Ghanaian parents. His mother was a big fan of jazz and owned a lot of records.
He was born left-handed but forced by his family to use his right hand.
Kofi had dreams of being a musician but was told that was unrealistic. As he was good at woodwork at school, that set his path for his likely career as a carpenter.
At the age of 16, he was working as an apprentice when a splinter caught his sleeve and he fell from a roof. As he fell he says he experienced a clear vision of his life stretching out before him, including travel, a family and playing an instrument. After the fall he was in a coma for several days but in time recovered fully.
Kofi received some compensation money for the fall, and he spent £50 of it on a saxophone. He told his parents he wasn't going back to work and would be focused completely on teaching himself to play the instrument.
At first his family didn't approve but he played every day, despite complaints about the noise from his six brothers. As he improved, his parents came to support his attempts and his mother gave him her records to learn from.
Kofi later studied at Berklee College of Music.

# Princ Dobroshi

Princ Dobroshi (born 2 April 1964 in Peja, KS Kosovo , SFR Yugoslavia) is a Kosovar-Albanian crime boss, formerly active in Europe in the 1990s dealing with drug trafficking and arms smuggling to the Kosovo Liberation Army. As of 2006 he is living in Kosovo.

## Crime career

In 1993 he was caught in Norway and in 1994 sentenced to 14 years in prison for heroin trafficking (other charges were pending in Sweden and Denmark). In a well coordinated operation he escaped from the Ullersmo prison in 1997. He moved to the Czech Republic where his group soon dominated in drug trafficking. On 23 February 1999 he was arrested in Prague.
On 6 September 2000 he was to be interrogated by the court at Ringerike District Jail, due to the high security aspect. The interrogations were canceled after the bus, carrying the court members, crashed with a truck, killing 3 of its members.
The criminal underground had planned armed attack on the Pankrác Prison but in August 1999 Dobroshi was extradited to Norway to complete his sentence. He was paroled and deported for "good behavior" in January 2005. Then he returned into the Czech Republic and stayed there for three months, until his visa expired. Later, he returned to Peć, Kosovo.
He has admitted friendship with Arfan Qadeer Bhatti who was arrested in Norway on charges of planning to terrorize Israeli and American embassies in Oslo, Norway.
As of September 2006, he was living in Kosovo while his Albanian wife and their two children lived in Prague. An investigation of terror suspects in Norway in September 2006 discovered contacts between one of the suspects and Dobroshi (they met in Pristina in 2005). MF Dnes, a newspaper in the Czech Republic, speculated about possibility of Dobroshi taking revenge and organizing a terror attack in Prague. In an interview the next day, Dobroshi acknowledged he knew the person but denied any involvement.
