Cabezones

Cabezones is an Argentine hardcore-alternative rock band.

History

Formation

The band, originally from the city of Santa Fe, was formed in 1994. At first, their music was punk, with songs such as "Uniformado de Cagón", but they left that genre behind to start making so-called "hardcore-dark" music.

In 1997 they released “Hijos de una nueva tierra”, which was published by the independent record label Mentes Abiertas, which they first met in a compilation album along with other alternative rock bands.

Alas and Eclipse (Sol)

In 1998 the band decided to move to Buenos Aires. Their new record, "Alas", produced by ex-Soda Stereo member Zeta Bosio, was edited by Sony Music later that year. This meant a change in the sound direction to a heavier and darker music. In 2002, "Alas" was edited in México followed by a ten-month tour throughout the country. Back in Argentina, Cabezones signed a recording contract with Pop Art to edit "Eclipse (Sol)" in 2003. By the end of that year, Leandro Aput was added as rhythm guitarist.

Institute of Road Transport Engineers

IRTE, the Institute of Road Transport Engineers, is a UK organisation founded in 1944 as a Professional Sector of the Society of Operations Engineers (SOE). IRTE publishes the monthly magazine Transport Engineer, as well as a wide range of technical guides. IRTE is a partner in the CV Show, a commercial vehicle exhibition.

The Irtec license is a professional certification for auto technicians in the U.K. Established in 2002, the Irtec licence is a voluntary scheme that assesses the competence of automotive technicians who maintain and repair vehicles in the following 4 classes; Heavy Goods Vehicle (above 7.5t), Light Commercial Vehicle (below 7.5t), Light & Heavy Commercial Vehicle (combined) and Bus and Coach. An Irtec licence certifies the individual, rather than the employer, and can be used to demonstrate a common standard of skills from one company to the next.

The Irtec licence is offered at several benchmark levels:

Irtysh River

The Irtysh River (Mongolian: Эрчис мөрөн/Erchis, "erchleh", "twirl"; Russian: Иртыш; Kazakh: Ертiс / Yertis; Chinese: 额尔齐斯河, pinyin: É'ěrqísī hé; Uyghur: ئېرتىش; Tatar: Cyrillic Иртеш, Latin İrteş) is a river in Siberia, China, and Kazakhstan. It is the chief tributary of the Ob River.

The river's headwaters originate in the Altai Mountains on the Mongolian-Chinese borders.

Irtysh's main affluents are the Tobol River and the Ishim River. The Ob-Irtysh system forms a major drainage basin in Asia, encompassing most of Western Siberia and the Altai Mountains.

Geography

From its origins as the Kara-Irtysh (Black Irtysh) in the Mongolian Altay mountains in Xinjiang, China, the Irtysh flows northwest through Lake Zaysan in Kazakhstan, meeting the Ishim and Tobol rivers before merging with the Ob near Khanty-Mansiysk in western Siberia, Russia after 4,248 kilometres (2,640 mi).

The name Black Irtysh (Kara-Irtysh in Kazakh, or Cherny Irtysh in Russian) is applied by some authors, especially in Russia and Kazakhstan, to the upper course of the river, from its source entering Lake Zaysan. The term White Irtysh, in opposition to the Black Irtysh, was occasionally used in the past to refer to the Irtysh below lake Zaysan; now this usage is largely obsolete.
