Thierry Blondeau (born 1961) is a French composer.

Life 
Born in Vincennes, Blondeau studied music and literature in Paris and Berlin (First Prize for musical composition at the Conservatoire de Paris and the Hochschule der Künste).

A resident at the Villa Medici in Rome from 1994 to 1996, laureate of the  in 1998 at Basel, composer in residence at the E.N.M.D. of Brest from 1998 to 2000 then at the Akademie Schloss Solitude in 2000, he was composer in residence at Annecy from 2000 to 2002.

In 2002 and 2003, he was a guest composer in Berlin at the invitation of the German Academic Exchange Service.

Since 2003, he has been teaching at the Marc Bloch University of Strasbourg (acoustic and electroacoustic composition) and, in 2006, was invited by the Land of Lower Saxony to the .

Blondeau's music can be seen as an audible construction of acoustic, spatial and instrumental conditions. The awareness of a lively sound leads him to integrate as much as possible the space of performance as an extended sound body of the instrument into the composition. This preoccupation led him, in addition to the concert pieces, to conceive sound actions in relation to a place, a space or a situation. Since 2000 he has been writing educational instrumental pieces with electroacoustics for all ages in collaboration with various music schools, with the aim of making contemporary music accessible to beginners.

His works are published by Éditions Jobert, Paris, and Dahlmann, Strasbourg.

The Piel CP-10 was a post-war French sports aircraft in the Pou du Ciel tradition and was the first design from Claude Piel to fly.

Design and development
The CP-10 Pinocchio was the first of Claude Piel's long line of light aircraft designs.  Despite the common name, it was completely different to his second design, the CP-20 Pinocchio.  Built by Piel and Roger Holleville, the CP-10 was a Pou du Ciel style, single seat tandem-wing aircraft, powered by a  Mengin B flat-twin engine mounted in the nose with its cylinder heads exposed for cooling and driving a two bladed propeller.

The larger, forward wing was mounted above the flat sided fuselage on each side by two pairs of short, inverted-V struts from the fuselage to the wing rotation axis. The angle of incidence was controlled from the open cockpit by long rods from the lower fuselage to the wing underside near the trailing edge. The shorter span rear wing was mounted on top of the fuselage immediately behind the cockpit. The CP-10 had a straight edged fin and rounded, balanced rudder.  Each main wheel of its fixed, tail wheel undercarriage was mounted on a hinged V-strut to the lower fuselage and with a shock absorber on a strut to the upper fuselage.

The CP-10 Pinocchio first flew on 25 September 1948 at Moisselles but was damaged in an accident there on 17 January 1949.

Mutant League Hockey is an ice hockey game that was released in 1994 for the Sega Genesis. It's a spin-off of Mutant League Football and has several of the same team names.

Gameplay
Unlike Mutant League Football which featured five species of mutant, Mutant League Hockey narrows it down to three: robots, undead skeletons and trolls, removing aliens and superhumans. The game has the same tone as its predecessor, with special plays that can cause things to happen like making the puck explode when it is picked up by an opposing player, bribing the referee to call fake penalties against the other team, and land mines and holes on the ice.

The teams in the game are ranked by a rating of zero through six skulls.

As with Mutant League Football, hazards litter the ice and death is commonplace. Players may substitute their goalie for a demon goalie, a gigantic demon head that takes the place of the net; scoring on a demon goal causes it to explode. In addition, the crowd is prone to throwing weapons or other powerups onto the ice; they may be picked up and used freely. When a player dies, their corpse remains on the ice and may be tripped on; between periods, a giant slug acting as an ice resurfacer eats the debris littering the ice. As in real hockey, fights may break out. Fights in Mutant League Hockey are done as a minigame, where the objective is to knock out the opponent. Both players are still sent to the penalty box, but the player who got knocked out also takes an additional penalty for losing.

Dnipro International Airport ()  was an airport serving Dnipro, a city in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine. It is located  southeast from the city center.

On 24 February 2022, Ukraine closed airspace to civilian flights due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. On 10 April 2022 a Russian attack completely destroyed the airport and the infrastructure nearby.

Facilities

The airport is at an elevation of  above mean sea level. It had one runway designated 08/26 with a concrete surface measuring . The airport is currently owned by its major airline partner Dniproavia. This has resulted in a number of management problems and has slowed the airfield's development as Dniproavia has, on a number of occasions, refused to be forthcoming with the required funds to undertake a comprehensive modernization program. In addition to this, foreign airlines have found it difficult to gain access to Dnipro as a result of Dniproavia's protectionist policies along routes to and from the airport.

In 2011, the airport's owners initiated a program to develop a new terminal complex. This project envisaged the construction of a large new international terminal, similar in specifications to the newly built terminal at Kharkiv International Airport. However, the construction was soon frozen and, as of 2017, building work has not progressed beyond the laying of foundations. In September 2020 the completion of a new runway and terminal was foreseen for late 2022 or early 2023.

On 24 February 2022, Ukraine closed airspace to civilian flights due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

On 15 March 2022, the airport was heavily damaged by Russian missiles. The runway was destroyed according to official statement of the head of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Administration. A repeat attack on 10 April 2022 completely destroyed the airport and the infrastructure nearby.

Airlines and destinations
The following airlines operate regular scheduled and charter services to and from Dnipro International Airport:

As of 24 February 2022, all passenger flights have been suspended indefinitely.
