The CREMA sub-projects are prepared by DNV's regional offices who carry out an extensive analysis of their respective network with the help of the Highway Design and Maintenance Standards Model (HDM).
Delays in implementation are furthermore minimized since the CREMA requires the contractor to prepare detailed engineering designs before initiating the works (delays in previous similar projects were due to a lack of stock of sub-projects ready for implementation).
Consistent with the first phase CREMA program, the rehabilitation and maintenance operations to be carried out will help prevent further deterioration of that network, and maintain a uniformly good riding quality equivalent to a 3.6 average International Roughness Index throughout the next five years.

 Espresso Blending
The crema is an emulsified layer of tiny, smooth bubbles that trap aromatic compounds.
The majority of the blend is made up of a base of coffees from Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Peru, Panama or any other origins that contribute a non-overbearing flavor while still contributing to the body and sweetness of the coffee.
To perfect the espresso blend by altering the roast to achieve the perfect crema, flavor, acidity, body and aftertaste takes time and patience, but is a rewarding and educational experience.

 The Epoch Times | New York City Warns: Some Skin Creams Are Poisonous
The resident identified with mercury poisoning was using a “skin-lightening” cream from the Dominican Republic called Recetas de la Farmacia - Crema Blanqueadora, used for acne, skin blemishes, and freckles.
Government officials in the Dominican Republic are working closely with DOHMH to halt the manufacture and distribution of these products.
The FDA tightly regulates the amount of mercury in cosmetic products and stipulates that “ingredients declaration must be conspicuous so that it is likely to be read at the time of purchase.” Unfortunately, many of the products are not labeled, or the contents are hidden under a less-well-known name.

 What is "cepa de apio"? - Aunt Clara's Dominican Cooking
Although the Dominican name cepa de apio (which I found out after exhaustive research on the internet is also used in Venezuela and Puerto Rico) translates literally as "celery root" this is not the same as the actual root of the celery plant known in English as "celeriac", although the two plants are related.
This soup is traditionally served in the highland areas of the Dominican Republic, like Jarabacoa and Constanza, where especially in winter, the nights can be fresh.
Sitting by an open fire wearing your winter woollies, watching the pine trees rustle in the chilly night breeze, you could be forgiven for forgetting that you are on a Caribbean island.

 A picture of the Civic Band
The Soncino Civic Band originates from the group of players who had enrolled in the local National Guard in Napoleon’s days, though its deepest roots can be traced back to the orchestra’s tradition of performing at Christmas mass with the exposure of the relics of the Holy Christ child’s crib (1606).
In any event, the existence of the band is certified in 1817 and 1823, and documentary evidence confirms its performance with a group of teachers of the Crema Orchestra in 1836.
The 2000 Season draws to a close with a concert at the Community Theatre in Soresina in November under the baton of the guest conductor M° Hardy Mertens, and the year-end Gala performance at the S. Domenico theatre in Crema under the leadership of the chief conductor Luca Valenti.

 History of Florence, by Niccolo Machiavelli (chapter41)
They then collected the relics of their army, and, by virtue of the treaty, demanded assistance of the Florentines; who, being relieved from the war with Alfonso, sent them one thousand foot and two thousand horse, by whose aid the Venetians were in a condition to treat for peace.
At one time it seemed the fate of their republic to lose by war and win by negotiation; for what was taken from them in battle was frequently restored twofold on the restoration of peace.
He therefore considered it better for the republic of Florence and for Italy, that the count should be content with his military reputation, and that Lombardy should be divided into two republics, which could never be united to injure others, and separately are unable to do so.

 Coffee Republic - Instruments - Espresso Machine
Early espresso machines used steam pressure to force boiling water and steam through the filter containing the coffee.
Later on a heat exchanger was used to produce hot (not boiling) water forced through the coffee by a piston pump, and produced the rich froth or crema now characteristic of espresso.
Most modern machines use the heat exchanger and electric pump, although some people still prefer the lever operated piston pump.
