«I think it’s a futile reason, but evidently it’s weight enough for Dior as for many other brands, and this ends to conduct many models to anorexia. (…) This slenderness demanded for catwalk doesn’t correspond to the body of the Italian woman. We’re talking about size 36/38, which a 5’9’’ tall girl (minimum required for haute couture) hardly handles. (…) When I started modeling I didn’t have an identity, and I don’t deny having encountered obstacles for my career given my curvy body. But with time and experience I entered a market (size 44) which is more diverse to that seen in the catwalk, which shows the interest of many brands for curvy women.»

In 2017, Modugno started dating singer Marc Anthony.

North Carolina Highway 3

"NC 3" redirects here. For the NC-3 airplane, see Curtiss NC.
"NC 3" may also refer to North Carolina's 3rd congressional district.

North Carolina Highway 3 (NC 3) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. The road runs from US 601 in southern Concord, north through Mooresville to US 29 in Kannapolis. It is numbered after Dale Earnhardt, the NASCAR driver, who was driving the #3 car when he died at the 2001 Daytona 500. 3 is named Dale Earnhardt Boulevard, a name which was given to the road prior to Earnhardt's death.

Route description

NC 3's southern terminus is in Concord, at US 601, where it follows Union Street northwards from a fork in the road just north of where US 601 has an interchange with NC 49. The route continues on to Branchview Drive upon crossing Old Airport Road, bypassing downtown Concord to the east. The name changes again to Concord Lake Road upon crossing over I-85; there is no interchange with I-85, just an overpass. The road enters Kannapolis, where after approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km), it comes to an intersection with Dale Earnhardt Boulevard. Turning left onto Dale Earnhardt Boulevard, it follows that road northeast, shortly reaching an oblique intersection with US 29. The road continues through the downtown area of Kannapolis, crossing Main Street and then NC 3 turns on to Mooresville Road, heading in a generally east-southeast direction.

Leaving Kannapolis near the Fisher Town neighborhood, the road crosses the northern tip of the Don T. Howell Reservoir, then curves to the north. At Earnhardt Lake Road, the name changes to Coddle Creek Highway. After crossing several miles of mostly rural area, it passes the headquarters of Dale Earnhardt, Inc. shortly before entering the corporate limits of Mooresville. Within Mooresville, it follows Iredell Avenue before reaching its northern terminus at NC 150.

History

The highway is numbered in honor of Dale Earnhardt's car number (pictured at the Michigan International Speedway in 1994)

In 1934, NC 3 was signed as a short 1.5-mile (2.4 km) route on Buck Island traveling from US 158 to the Currituck Sound in Currituck County.


North Carolina Highway 3

On October 23, 2002, Governor Mike Easley signed into law a bill officially reassigning NC 136 to NC 3's route and vice versa. NC 3 was moved because it was the hometown of the aforementioned Dale Earnhardt who died in the 2001 Daytona 500. Earnhardt drove the #3 Goodwrench Chevrolet and grew up in the Mooresville region. NC 136 now follows the old NC 3 route.

Torneo Gran Alternativa (April 1999)

The Torneo Gran Alternativa (April 1999) (Spanish for "Great Alternative Tournament") was a professional wrestling tournament held by the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; Spanish for "World Wrestling Council"). The tournament was held on April 2, 1999, in Mexico City, Mexico at CMLL's main venue, Arena México. The Gran Alternativa tournament features tag teams composed of a rookie, or novato, and a veteran wrestler for an elimination tournament. The idea is to feature the novato wrestlers higher on the card that they usually work and help elevate one or more up the ranks. CMLL made the Torneo Gran Alternativa an annual event in 1995, only skipping it four times between 1994 and 2017. since it is a professional wrestling tournament, it is not won or lost competitively but instead by the decisions of the bookers of a wrestling promotion that is not publicized prior to the shows to maintain the illusion that professional wrestling is a competitive sport.

CMLL held the first of two Gran Alternativa tournaments of 1999 on April 2, 1999 in Mexico City, Mexico. In the first round two members of Los Nuevo Infernales fought each other as Rey Bucanero (teaming with Fuerza Guerrera) lost to Último Guerrero (teaming with Blue Panther). In the second round Guerrera and Panther defeated the previous year's winners Emilio Charles Jr. and Tony Rivera to earn a spot in the finals. Their opponents, Mr. Niebla and Atlantico earned their spot in the final by defeating Mr. Niebla and Atlantico as well as Shocker and Astro Rey Jr. In the finals Último Guerrero and Blue Panther defeated Mr. Niebla and Atlantico. Último Guerrero would go on to become one of the top Rudos of CMLL, forming Los Guerreros del Infierno.

History

Starting in 1994 the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) created a special tournament concept where they would team up a novato, or rookie, with a veteran for a single-elimination tag team tournament with the purpose of increasing the profile of the rookie wrestler.


Torneo Gran Alternativa (April 1999)

CMLL had used a similar concept in August 1994 where Novato Shocker teamed up with veterans Ringo Mendoza and Brazo de Plata to defeat novato Apolo Dantés and veterans Gran Markus Jr. and El Brazo in the finals of a six-man tag team tournament.tag teams instead, creating a tournament that would be known as El Torneo Gran Alternativa, or "The Great Alternative Tournament", which became a recurring event on the CMLL calendar. CMLL did not hold a Gran Alternativa tournament in 1997 and 2000 held on each year from 2001 through 2014, opting not to hold a tournament in 2015.

Mount Lyell railway

Construction of the Mount Lyell mine haulage line, c. 1895

The term Mount Lyell Railway was one of the terms used for the railway operated by the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company between 1899 and 1963.

Many name variations were used for identifying the line, the most common being the Abt railway.

History

Surveying for the railway line began in 1892.

Services

The line was primarily the only transport service out of Queenstown prior to roads being constructed. Passenger and freight services were consistent over the duration of the operation of the railway.

In the 1920s as typical passenger service was the daily mail train that left Queenstown at 8 am for 10 am arrival at Regatta Point. The return trip being 4.30 pm from Regatta Point to 6.30 pm arrival in Queenstown.

Mine lease railways

Mount Lyell company had railways on its lease that were separate from the mainline between Queenstown and Strahan.

The company had small gauge lines to move materials on the lease.

In later stages of operations, the mine had an underground railway to haul ore to the processing facilities on the lease.

2000s

The reconstructed railway over the most of the original formation with some variations:

2002 operated under the name of the Abt Wilderness Railway. 2013 Federal Hotels withdrew from operations 2014 reopened as the West Coast Wilderness Railway

Ottmar Ette

Ottmar Ette has also received much attention for his work on and editions of the writings of Alexander von Humboldt. He is considered a leading specialist on Humboldt's original scientific approach and extremely prolific work. Whereas Alexander von Humboldt has always been a well-known figure in the Americas, German reception had been heavily focused on the philological work of his older brother, Wilhelm von Humboldt. Ette's new editions of Alexander's colourful reports from his voyages have led to a more evenly balanced reception of the work of the two polymaths Alexander and Wilhelm von Humboldt. As early as 1987, Ette's work on Alexander von Humboldt earned him the "Heinz-Maier-Leibnitz" Award from the German Ministry of Culture and the German Research Association DFG. In the English-speaking world, Ottmar Ette and Vera M. Kutzinski (Vanderbildt University) recently published two critical editions of Humboldt's works: in 2011, the "Political Essay on the Island of Cuba; in 2012, the "Views of the Cordilleras and Monuments of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas", both titles published with the University of Chicago Press.

Ottmár Szepesi

Ottmár Szepesi (22 December 1901 – 24 August 1965) was a Hungarian equestrian. He competed in two events at the 1936 Summer Olympics.


Torneo Gran Alternativa (1998)

The Torneo Gran Alternativa (1998) (Spanish for "Great Alternative Tournament") was a professional wrestling tournament held by the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; Spanish for "World Wrestling Council"). The tournament was held on June 14, 1998 , in Mexico City, Mexico at CMLL's main venue, Arena México. The Gran Alternativa tournament features tag teams composed of a rookie, or novato, and a veteran wrestler for an elimination tournament. The idea is to feature the novato wrestlers higher on the card that they usually work and help elevate one or more up the ranks. CMLL made the Torneo Gran Alternativa an annual event in 1995, only skipping it four times between 1994 and 2017. since it is a professional wrestling tournament, it is not won or lost competitively but instead by the decisions of the bookers of a wrestling promotion that is not publicized prior to the shows to maintain the illusion that professional wrestling is a competitive sport.

The 1998 Torneo Gran Alternativa tournament was held on July 14, 1998, in Mexico City, Mexico. The finals saw Emilio Charles Jr. and Tony Rivera defeat Bestia Salvaje and Guerrero de la Muerte. Unlike previous tournaments the finals was more storyline driven as Emilio Charles Jr. had been feuding with Bestia Salvaje and Tony Rivera and Guerrero de la Muerte already had a Luchas de Apuesta, hair vs. hair match scheduled.

History

Starting in 1994 the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) created a special tournament concept where they would team up a novato, or rookie, with a veteran for a single-elimination tag team tournament with the purpose of increasing the profile of the rookie wrestler.

CMLL had used a similar concept in August 1994 where Novato Shocker teamed up with veterans Ringo Mendoza and Brazo de Plata to defeat novato Apolo Dantés and veterans Gran Markus Jr. and El Brazo in the finals of a six-man tag team tournament.tag teams instead, creating a tournament that would be known as El Torneo Gran Alternativa, or "The Great Alternative Tournament", which became a recurring event on the CMLL calendar. CMLL did not hold a Gran Alternativa tournament in 1997 and 2000 held on each year from 2001 through 2014, opting not to hold a tournament in 2015.


Torneo Gran Alternativa (1998)

Tournaments

Sources have not documented the initial rounds of the 1998 Torneo Gran Alternativa, thus it is unclear which teams Emilio Charles Jr. (veteran)/Tony Rivera (rookie) and Bestia Salvaje (veteran)/Guerrero de la Muerte (rookie) defeated to qualify for the finals.

Aftermath

The 1998 Gran Alternativa tournament was part of a longer running storyline between rookies Tony Rivera and Guerrero de la Muerte, which lead to a Lucha de Apuestas, mask vs. hair match between the two that took place on July 29, 1998. Rivera won the match, forcing Guerrero de la Muerte to be shaved bald as a result.
