SOHO EVENT ON JUNE 19TH DRAWS HUNDREDS INCLUDING MISS USA 2012 OLIVIA CULPO AND STAR VIOLINIST JOSHUA BELL, WITH PERFORMANCES BY RISING STARS AVI AVITAL AND NICOLA BENEDETTI

NEW YORK, June 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Established seven years ago in the Berlin club scene, Yellow Lounge is a classics-meets-club concept, seeking out new spaces for an innovative sound and visual experience. A growing global phenomenon, Yellow Lounge brings together the best emerging classical performers with cutting-edge DJ sets and multi-media elements in urban spaces. London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Vienna and Seoul have already experienced the exhilaration of Yellow Lounge, and on June 19th, the party came to America for its inaugural evening at New York City's 82 Mercer in the heart of SoHo.

With several hundred attendees, the event was sponsored by Decca & Deutsche eGrammophon U.S., along with Karlson's Gold Vodka, and featured performances by mandolin player Avi Avital and violinist Nicola Benedetti, each dazzling the audience with their own respective sets, and culminating in an inspired classical "jam" wowing the crowd. The innovation extended to interactive stations including a graffiti wall and photo booth. VIP's including Miss USA 2012 Olivia Culpo and violinist Joshua Bell mingled among the guests.

Max Hole, Chief Operating Officer of Universal Music Group International says, "In America, as elsewhere around the world, our goal with Yellow Lounge is to extend the reach of classical music to draw in audiences of all ages who are curious about the music but deterred by some of its long-standing conventions. This unique event breaks down boundaries and brings together audiences, performers and music more intimately than ever."

Paul Foley, General Manager of Decca & Deutsche Grammophon U.S. says, "Our first Yellow Lounge was a tremendous success. The enthusiasm and energy in the room makes it evident that audiences of all ages are excited and eager to hear classical music in a new and innovative environment. We look forward to launching our next Yellow Lounge on the west coast later this year."

Terrorist Attacks on America Before Osama Bin Laden Was Born : 1920 -2005.

Image
This is a record of all terrorist attacks in America and in countries with American interests and on American Embassies and citizens abroad. Osama bin Laden did not create the demons of terrorism. He is only one of the most diabolical and destructive of them all. The devil is the author of Terrorism in his capacity as the Son of Perdition and the father of chaos. It is very important to clarify these issues for the benefit of those who are ignorant and naive and have been jumping to erroneous conclusions. Terrorist Attacks (within the United States or against Americans abroad) 1920: septa. 16, New York City: TNT bomb planted in unattended horse-drawn wagon exploded on Wall Street opposite House of Morgan , killing 35 people and injuring hundreds more. Bolshevist or anarchist terrorists believed responsible, but crime never solved. 1975 Jan. 24, New York City: bomb set off in historic Fraunces Tavern killed 4 and injured more than 50 people.

Let Us Talk To Boko Haram - Nigerian Professor

A Commentary Direct Talk and Psychological Accessibility to the Boko Haram Group Is worth the Trial in Nigeria It is now obvious that the nation is now fully plagued by terrorism which is so widespread and monumental that it is hard to unravel. At a time when the Nigerian air is filled with the festivities of Eid al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice, which in a supposed way should involve the slaughter sheep and cattle, and not the near-sacrifice of a son, as in Abraham’s case, but the reverse is the case.Human slaughter is in our face on a daily basis in Nigeria due to the Boko Haram wrath. Violence in Nigeria, a country of more than 150 million with an almost equal split between the Christian south and the Muslim north is affecting public safety and national security. Nothing appears to be stopping the inflammable and untamed-able torment, fear and worry across the country. There appears to be a legitimate state of distress nationally, and the cause of the state of distress is growing d...
