Love Life (Hitomi album)

Love Life is the fifth studio album by Japanese singer hitomi, released on December 13, 2000, by avex trax.

Description

Following the 1999 amicable split with her previous producer Tetsuya Komuro, hitomi was able to take more creative control of her album production. This is evidenced on Love Life by the large collaborative efforts of hitomi with her recording engineers Tetsuya Morimoto, Takeshi Hara, Hiroyuki Shiotsuki, Naoki Yamada, Tohru Oka, and Motohisa Shiraishi.

Love Life was a strong commercially successful album selling over 766,000 copies in Japan and reaching #2 on the Oricon weekly charts. The singles "Love 2000", "Maria" and "キミにKiss (Kimi ni Kiss)" were all successes within Japan hitting in the top 20 of Oricon singles chart.

The cover of the album showing hitomi undressed with long hair covering her chest caused something of a controversy by its similarity to the Loveppears album of the singer Ayumi Hamasaki, released a year before. This is the album that later gave the name to the production sub label Love Life Record created by hitomi in 2005. Young Taju

LoveLife South Africa

loveLife is a youth focused HIV prevention initiative in South Africa. The not-for-profit organisation promotes AIDS-free living among South African youth aged between 12 and 19 by employing a holistic approach to youth development and behaviour change that motivates adolescents to take charge of their lives for brighter futures.

The overall aim of loveLife is to reduce the rate of new infections in young people, in order to reduce the overall prevalence of HIV in South Africa, which stands at 10.9% (2008) of the population. (Additional sources: UNAIDS, HSRC, see also HIV/AIDS in South Africa) Considering that a high number of new infections are among 15- to 24-year-olds, loveLife targets people below 15 to ensure they remain HIV negative and youth above 15 to help them recognise and tackle their elevated risk of infection.

loveLife's comprehensive strategy was designed to address the specifics of the epidemic in South Africa, as well as its resources and socio-economic infrastructure. It seeks to achieve sustained engagement with the first generation of young people growing up in post-apartheid South Africa (the so-called ‘born-frees’) who are exposed to greater benefits than their parents but still face many of the socio-economic legacies of apartheid, such as poverty and unemployment.

Berlin (sculpture)

Berlin is the name of a sculpture on the Tauentzienstraße in western Berlin, the capital of Germany.

First conceived in 1985 and unveiled by the husband-and-wife sculpting team of Brigitte Matschinsky-Denninghoff and Martin Matschinsky in 1987, the sculpture's principal motif, a "broken chain", was meant to symbolize the severed connections between West and East Berlin due to the construction of the Berlin Wall.

Even though the Wall has since been dismantled, the sculpture was bought by the city from Mrs. Matschinsky-Denninghoff to commemorate the unfortunate chapter in German history.

History

Berlin was one of eight sculptures designed during "Skulpturenboulevard Kurfürstendamm" (Boulevard of Sculptures: Kurfürstendamm), an event commissioned by the city of West Berlin to celebrate Berlin's 750th anniversary in 1987. Of the eight sculptures unveiled, three were allowed to remain past the anniversary year (Berlin, Pyramide, and Cadillacs in Form der nackten Maja); the city and Deutsche Bank acquired Berlin after its original lease had expired.

Berlin (carriage)

A Berlin (or Berline) carriage was a type of covered four-wheeled travelling carriage with two interior seats. Initially noted for using two chassis rails and having the body suspended from the rails by leather straps, the term continued in use for enclosed formal carriages with two seats after the suspension system changed from leather straps to steel springs.

Origin

The carriage was designed around 1660 or 1670 by a Piedmontese architect commissioned by the General quartermaster to Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg. The Elector used the carriage to travel from Berlin, Brandenburg's capital, to the French capital of Paris, where his carriage created a sensation. While heavy-duty vehicles had used double-railed frames before, passenger vehicles had normally used a single rail. The elegant but durable style was widely copied and named "berline" after the city from which the carriage had come. It was more convenient than other carriages of the time, being lighter and less likely to overturn. The berline began to supplant the less practical and less comfortable state coaches and gala coaches in the 17th century.
