Los duques de Cambridge inician su luna de miel en las islas Seychelles

Desde el Palacio de Saint James han confirmado que Guillermo y Catherine “se han ido” pero no han querido precisar el destino exacto de su viaje

Las últimas compras de Catherine Middleton como soltera revelaban que el destino de su luna de miel iba a ser un lugar caluroso y con playa 

Como ya informó Clarence House, los duques de Cambrige decidieron posponer su luna de miel y disfrutar de un tranquilo fin de semana en el Reino Unido después de su enlace. También aseguraron que el destino no iba a ser revelado con antelación y que dicho retraso se debía a los compromisos laborales del príncipe Guillermo como piloto de helicóptero de salvamento y rescate de la RAF en la base de Anglesey, la isla situada en el norte de de Gales donde ya tienen la residencia en la que inciarán su vida de recién casados. 

Hoy, diez días después de su boda, Guillermo y Catherine han iniciado su luna de miel en las islasSeychelles, según publican varios medios británicos como The Telegraph y Daily Mail. El palacio de Saint James ha confirmado la noticia pero no ha ofrecido más datos al respecto: “Lo único que vamos a confirmar es que los duques de Cambridge se han ido. Han pedido que se respete su privacidad durante su luna de miel” y ha añadido que el príncipe Guillermo se ha tomado dos semanas de permiso en la RAF. 

Al parecer, los recién casados llegaron a este paraíso natural, compuesto por más de 115 islas ubicadas en el océano Índico, al noreste de Madagascar, esta mañana. A bordo de un avión privado, aterrizaron en una de las islas más bonitas y románticas de las Seychelles donde tienen previsto permanecer diez días. Hay que recordar, que Guillermo y Catherine ya disfrutaron allí de unas románticas vacaciones tras su ruptura en el año 2007. Entonces, alquilaron la remota isla Desroches, un paraíso ubicado a 230 kilómetros al suroeste de Mahé, la principal isla de Seychelles. Hace tres años, el alquiler del lujoso complejo costaba a la semana más de siete mil euros. Sí en esta ocasión han vuelto a repetir destino, los duques de Cambridge gozarán durante su estancia de un clima cálido (24º C- 32º C), playas de arena blanca, aguas transparentes perfectas para bucear y un lujoso aislamiento. 

Esta noticia viene a confirmar lo que días antes de la boda real publicó la revista ¡HOLA! Las últimas compras de Catherine Middleton como soltera revelaban que el destino de su luna de miel iba a ser un lugar caluroso y con playa. Durante su paseo por la conocida calle King´s Road de la capital inglesa adquirió, además de dos pantalones, una camiseta de color amarillo y una blusa en la tienda de la marca Whistles, unas gafas de sol de la conocida firma Marc Jacobs ycuatro biquinis en la tienda Goldenpoint. 

Cuando finalice su luna de miel, los duques de Cambridge emprenderán un tour por Canadá en julio y visitarán California el 8 y el 10 del mismo mes. Y, aunque no ha sido confirmado por ningún portavoz del Palacio de Saint James, el príncipe Guillermo y Catherine tendrán que separarse en septiembre ya que el futuro soberano de los ingleses ha sido destinado a las islas Malvinas para trabajar en la unidad de búsqueda y rescate de la Real Fuerza Aérea (RAF) durante cuatro meses.

Air France, Airbus in manslaughter probe

Air France has joined Airbus in being probed for alleged manslaughter in connection with the 2009 crash of a Rio de Janeiro to Paris flight with the loss of 228 lives.

Investigating magistrate Sylvie Zimmerman placed Air France boss Pierre-Henri Gourjon under judicial investigation for alleged manslaughter in the crash the day after doing the same to Airbus, Air France lawyers said on Friday.
The crash has been partly blamed on malfunctioning speed sensors used by Airbus, with Air France accused of not responding quickly enough to reports that they might be faulty.
The announcement came ahead of the resumption of a search for the plane's wreckage in the Atlantic using a German mini-submarine.
So far only 3 per cent of the plane and around 50 bodies have been found from the wreckage.
Airbus has said it is mystified by the move, while victims' associations have welcomed it.
"We are very satisfied with this decision because Airbus will be more careful with this aircraft," Nelson Marinho, the head of an association representing families of the victims, said in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday.
"We also know that the maintenance of the planes was defective," he said.
No charges have yet been brought in the case, which had been suspended until the plane's black box flight recorders was found.
A third search of the ocean floor to try to locate the black boxes ended in failure last May.
Despite disagreeing with the probe, Airbus has said it will cooperate pending retrieval of the doomed flight's black boxes.
Flight 447 from Rio to Paris went down roughly midway between Brazil and Senegal on June 1, 2009, in the deadliest crash in Air France's history.
The crash claimed the lives of all 228 people on board, of more than 30 nationalities. Most of those killed were French, Brazilian and German.
Air France in December was ordered to pay $727,000 to relatives of a Brazilian family that died in the accident.
The airline, through its insurers, had made compensation payments to the relatives of the passengers and crew, but continues to defend itself from litigation in Brazil.

Moonageddon: Apocalypse not - By Carl Holm for ABC Science Online

Updated Fri Mar 18, 2011 8:21pm AEDT

A full moon sets over the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO: G. Gillet)

Romantics, werewolves and other moon-gazers are in for a treat this weekend as they witness the biggest full moon seen in nearly 20 years.

But experts are discounting predictions of earthquakes associated with the event.
The moon's orbit is elliptical, and as it follows its path one side of the ellipse, known as perigee, passes about 50,000 kilometres closer than the on the other side - apogee.
A perigee full moon appears around 14 per cent bigger and 30 per cent brighter than an apogee full moon.
Geoffrey Wyatt from the Sydney Observatory says the upcoming full moon - which NASA's website says will be of "rare size and beauty" - will rise about 08.00 pm (AEDT) on Saturday.
But it becomes full on Sunday morning at 05.10 am (AEDT), one hour before lunar perigee.
"So, Sunday morning, those people who are up early or getting home super late, look to the west and you'll see the biggest moon for 18 years," Mr Wyatt said.
The last time the full moon was so big and close to Earth was in March 1993.
"You've got two cycles here. You've got 29-and-a-half days between full moons and then you've got 27 and a half days from apogee to apogee," Mr Wyatt said.
"That difference builds up and although you get a perigee every month, to get it at minimum distance takes about 18 years."
Perigee full moons also usually bring extra-high tides, but Daniel Jaksa, co-director of the joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre, says they will probably be a fraction of one per cent higher than normal.

Earthquake predictions

Meanwhile an Auckland-based mathematician known as the "Moonman", Ken Ring, has warned the perigee moon will cause another major earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Mr Ring claims he predicted Christchurch's deadly February 22 quake by studying the moon.
But Mr Wyatt says he would like to see some scientific proof to back the Mr Ring's claims.
"For a few weeks now we've been hearing people talk about 'Moonageddon'," he said.
"It's depressing to hear people saying this sort of thing. There is absolutely no evidence for a causal link between the phases of the moon and earthquake activity.
"It's something you might find in 'Tom's Backyard Mechanic's Book of Celestial Tomfoolery', but you're not going to find that in peer-reviewed journals."
Mr Jaksa agrees.
"You only have to look at the major energy source that's driving the tectonic process and it's not the moon," he said.
"It's the convection currents in the mantle as the Earth tries to cool down from its core outwards that drives plate tectonics."
Mr Wyatt says the claims are a symptom of the human condition.
"People blame things on the alignment of the planets because they want an explanation, but it's not the moon's fault," he said.

Tom Brady Confirms Gisele Is Due in December

By Missy Ritti

Tom Brady is finally talking about the good news: wife Gisele Bündchen is, indeed, pregnant.

In an interview with ESPN's Chris Berman airing Sunday on SportsCenter and Monday Night Countdown, the 32-year-old New England Patriots quarterback reveals that the couple – who married earlier this year – expect their baby-on-the-way in December.

While Brady said he would happily attend Lamaze classes with Bündchen, he will do so with at least one caveat: "I told her no Sundays," he joked. "It couldn't be harder than training camp, so I'll be prepared."

Noting that "the women are the ones who have to do the work," he adds, "We just have to be there to support them and so it'll be nice to do that."

Their child will be the first for Bündchen and the second for Brady, who is already dad to 2-year-old John Edward Thomas with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.

Travoltas Make First Public Appearance Since Son's Death

By Brenda Rodriguez

Nine months after the death of their 16-year-old son Jett, John Travolta and Kelly Preston – with their daughter Ella Bleu – made their first public appearance together on Friday to promote their new Disney film Old Dogs.


Walt Disney Studios Chairman Dick Cook introduced the family during a surprise appearance for fans at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, Calif. Travolta led the way on stage, holding Ella's hand, as the family helped Cook introduce the movie. All three appear in the comedy, which marks Ella's big screen debut.

According to the Associated Press, Travolta told the crowd, "I always appreciate the audience's love for me." He continued: "I hope they love Old Dogs and much as we do, because I've got my baby in it."

While his wife returned to work in recent months to star opposite Miley Cyrus in The Last Song, Travolta has kept out of the public eye, instead flying to various locations alone to privately cope with his grief.

Preston was expected to speak in October at the California Governor's Conference for Women on a panel titled "Grief & Resilience" but she bowed out last month saying it was "just too soon" to discuss Jett's passing.

'Dirty Dancing' star Patrick Swayze dies at 57

                                                                               By Susan Wloszczyna, USA TODAY

Patrick Swayze, the gracefully macho Texan who swiveled his way to movie stardom in 1987's Dirty Dancing,
died Monday at the age of 57 after waging a valiant public battle against pancreatic cancer.

"Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges

of his illness for the last 20 months," said a statement released Monday evening by his publicist, Annett Wolf.

No other details were given.

Fans of the likable actor have been prepared for such an outcome for more than a year,

ever since the National Enquirer blared the headline, "Patrick Swayze Has 5 Weeks to Live."

He managed to defy that prediction, though he was pragmatic about his chances and candid

when discussing the ordeal of fighting such a virulent illness that usually kills 95% of its victims within five years.

"You can bet I'm going through hell," he told Barbara Walters on Jan. 8 in his first TV interview

since he was diagnosed. "And I've only see the beginning of it.

There's a lot of fear here. … Yeah, I'm scared. Yeah, I'm angry. Yeah, I'm asking, 'Why me.' "

Swayze also acknowledged time was running out. "I'd say five years is pretty wishful thinking.

Two years seems likely if you're going to believe statistics.

I want to last until they find a cure, which means I'd better get a fire under it."

Still, it's hard to accept that the guy with the rough-hewn features and carnal soulfulness

who hoisted the likes of 1989's testosterone-heavy hootfest Road House and

1990's weeper deluxe Ghost into the category of pop-culture classics is gone.

Here was someone who was man enough to dance ballet, figure-skate in a Disney ice show,

croon the sap-tastic She's Like the Wind and make a cornball line like "No one puts Baby in the corner"

go down in history.

It was reported in February 2008 that Swayze had "a gastrointestinal procedure"

at the Stanford University Medical Center in California and was "doing fine."

Later, his publicist confirmed that he was diagnosed in January with pancreatic cancer and

was having chemotherapy at the university's cancer center in Palo Alto.

Swayze and his wife of 33 years, dancer Lisa Niemi, who both have pilot's licenses,

would fly there in their own Beechcraft.

The news of his condition summoned words of affection and best wishes from co-stars.

Whoopi Goldberg, Ghost's comical psychic, declared Swayze "a man I adore" while recalling,

"When I won my Academy Award for the film, the only person I really thanked was Patrick."

She explained that he told the filmmakers he wouldn't do the movie without her.

Swayze, who earned People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive title in 1991,

was tough enough to endure aggressive treatment and work six-day weeks

to film 13 episodes of The Beast, an A&E series that premiered Jan. 15.

He even attended the wrap party with the cast Nov. 23 in Chicago.

"I do find myself, at the end of the day, riding home sort of catching myself with a smile on my face," Swayze told The New York Times when discussing the series. "I'm proud of what I'm doing."

After a fallow period early in the decade, Swayze seemed to be ready to get back in the acting game in 2007

before his diagnosis.

He appeared in the family comedy Christmas in Wonderland and filmed a Crash-style drama, Powder Blue,

with Jessica Biel, Forest Whitaker, Ray Liotta and his brother, Don.

He was the son of a rodeo champ and a choreographer, which pretty much set him up for his professional path.

Guys dug his action-hero side. Girls swooned for his romantic rakishness. And gays thought he was, well,

OK after pulling off an effeminate cross-dresser in 1995's To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar.

As straight-arrow Roger Ebert observed of his diva Vida: "Swayze actually looks pretty good in drag

(women around me were ooohing at his trim waist)."

Truth be told, he was never a great actor if measured by Olivier standards.

But he could be awfully good in some pretty ridiculous roles and never took himself too seriously.

His bouncer with a Ph.D in philosophy who stands guard over a wild Missouri honky-tonk in Road House

comes to mind, lecturing rowdy customers with such bons mots as, "I want you to be nice until it's time not to be nice."

He became a cultural icon by way of his hips, grinding into the loins of sweaty dance partners

and opening the virginal eyes of Jennifer Grey's socially superior Baby in the Camelot-era

coming-of-age schmaltz known as Dirty Dancing.

He also displayed a Teflon-like resiliency both in his career and in his life. When movie opportunities became lean,

he turned to theater, where he first kick-started his acting career in 1978 as Danny Zuko in Grease.

He did Chicago on Broadway in 2003 and, in 2006, made his London stage debut as Nathan Detroit in Guys and Dolls.

In 2000, he also almost got into legal trouble after being forced to make an emergency landing

in a subdivision while flying his twin-engine Cessna from Van Nuys, Calif., to Las Vegas, N.M.

Witnesses reported that the actor, who delayed talking to the police for several hours, appeared intoxicated

at the time and asked them to help remove beer and wine from the plane.

But all turned out well when it was determined that the alcohol was inaccessible

during the flight and Swayze's disorientation was a result of hypoxia during the descent.

He openly struggled against his disease, but his bounce-back ability could not rescue him this time.

Fans can take some solace in the fact that, with his string of cult-inspiring performances in the '80s and '90s,

Swayze built himself a resume that guaranteed his work would live on.

He will always be on DVD and on cable, in slang (Swayze means "to disappear," like his spirit in Ghost),

in parodies (the B-movie mockers on TV's Mystery Science Theater 3000 sang Let's Have a Patrick Swayze Christmas on a holiday episode) and in Saturday Night Live reruns, shaking his studly stuff in a dance-off with chubby rival Chris Farley during a Chippendales skit.

He will survive in the hearts of every man who worships his Big Kahuna of surfing bank robbers in 1991's

Point Break and every woman who can name all the then-up-and-coming players in the talent-rich male cast of 1983's The Outsiders. (He was Darry, the elder greaser.)

And he will always be an inspiration for anyone confronting tough odds. He faced a grim reality and kept going.

"There is probably that little bird that flies through your insides and says, '

I sure would like to make a mark in life,' " he told the New York Times in October.

"I've made a pretty decent mark so far — nothing to scoff at. But it does make you think: Wait a minute.

There's more I want to do. Lots more. Get on with it."



REST IN PEACE,  PATRICK SWAYZE.
