Warda al-Jazairia ( وردة الجزائرية, La rose algérienne) généralement appelée Warda (وردة ) est une chanteuse algérienne née le 22 juillet 1940 à Puteaux en France. Elle demeure une diva de la chanson d'amour, adulée de ses admirateurs.
Née d'un père algérien (Mohammed Ftouki) originaire de Souk-Ahras et d'une mère libanaise en 1940, elle commence à chanter en 1951, à l'âge de onze ans, au Tam-Tam, un établissement du Quartier Latin de Paris appartenant à son père. Elle se fait rapidement connaitre pour ses chansons patriotiques algériennes. En 1958, suite à ses chansons, elle est obligée de quitter la France pour Beyrouth. Après l'indépendance de l'Algérie, elle retourne au pays et se marie en 1962. Son époux lui interdit alors de chanter. En 1972, le président algérien Houari Boumediene, lui demande de chanter pour commémorer l'indépendance de l'Algérie, ce qu'elle fait accompagnée d'un orchestre égyptien. Suite à cela, son mari demande le divorce ; c'est ainsi qu'elle décide de consacrer sa vie à la musique.

Elle part vivre en Égypte, où elle rencontre le compositeur Baligh Hamdi avec qui elle se remarie. En Égypte, elle connait un grand succès en travaillant avec les plus grands compositeurs arabes, comme Mohammed Abdel Wahab ou Sayed Mekawi. Elle tient aussi quelques grands rôles dans des films égyptiens.

Elle a vendu plus de 20 millions d'albums à travers le monde pour un répertoire comprenant plus de 300 chansons. Ses chansons les plus connues sont "lola el malama", "batwannes bik", "harramt ahibbak", "wahashtouni" ou "awqati btehlaw".

Elle fait un come-back éclatant à la fin des années 90 avec Nagham el hawa, le titre d'un album de compilation qui mêle orchestration classique et arrangements modernes

LeBron James finally has an NBA title. Will he add some ESPYS to his awards haul?

On Wednesday, July 11, the 20th annual ESPYS will take place at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles with comedian Rob Riggle handling the emcee duties. As happens on every awards show, there will be plenty of winners and even more losers, as not every nominee gets honored with the top prize. However, unlike most awards shows, you can be a winner yourself. How? Why, by taking part in The ESPYS Fantasy Ballot, of course.

All you have to do is guess which nominee will win each of 15 designated categories. Then, just sit back and see if your choices correctly match those names inside those envelopes as they get opened during the live broadcast. Get the most right, and you could walk away with a $2,000 Best Buy Gift Card.

It's that simple!

Was LeBron James' run to his first NBA title worthy of Best Male Athlete honors, or did Aaron Rodgers' sensational season for the Green Bay Packers trump that terrific accomplishment?

Which athlete had the most impressive championship performance: David Freese of the St. Louis Cardinals during its run to a World Series crown or Jonathan Quick's Conn Smythe-worthy play in net that helped the Los Angeles Kings hoist the Stanley Cup?

Were you more impressed by the mentoring job done by John Calipari, Kim Mulkey, Darryl Sutter or Erik Spoelstra? Or perhaps one of the other nominees for Best Coach/Manager will end up winning the ESPY?

That's the beauty of the ESPYS, which commemorates the past year in sports by recognizing major achievements, reliving unforgettable moments and saluting the leading performers and performances. There's no "real" right answer, but when all the fan votes are counted, opinion becomes fact and winners take to the stage to give their acceptance speeches.

Now, I know what you're thinking: What if more than one person correctly picks all the winners? What happens then? Don't worry, we've thought of that. There are two tiebreaker questions for you to fill out, just in case. And if somehow those extra inquiries don't settle the score, we won't resort to penalty kicks, but rather, the winner will be the entry that was recorded in the system the earliest.

So what are you waiting for? Time is of the essence!

Last year's ESPY winners included Dirk Nowitzki, Tim Thomas, Blake Griffin, Lindsey Vonn, Rory McIlroy, Jimmer Fredette, Maya Moore and Roy Halladay. This year's winners could include Justin Verlander, Maria Sharapova, Eli Manning, Lexi Thompson, Bubba Watson, Andrew Luck, Rob Gronkowski, Clayton Kershaw, Brittney Griner and, of course, you.

Just sign into ESPN.com using your member ID (or register to be a member if you haven't already done so -- it's free!) and select your prediction for the 15 winners in the 15 designated categories. And make sure to answer the two tiebreaker questions, just in case. That's all you have to do to enter.

Be sure to also follow the 2012 ESPYS on Twitter (@ESPYS) and tune into the live broadcast on Wednesday, July 11 at 9:00 p.m. Eastern to watch as the winners are revealed. Who knows? You just might be a winner yourself by the time the night is over.

Virus que mató a delfines en Lambayeque puede afectar a humanos

2012-06-26T02:35:00.004-07:00

El director de la ONG Mundo Azul, Stefan Austermühle, indicó que el virus que mató a más de 3,000 delfines en Lambayeque constituye un peligro para los humanos, ya que el microorganismo podría mutar y convertirse en una epidemia como ocurrió con la gripe aviar que mató a miles de personas en todo el mundo. Además, consideró como "irresponsable" el tratamiento que el Ministerio de la Producción le ha dado a la muerte de estos animales, de los pelícanos y otras aves guaneras del norte del país. "Las autoridades no han tomado las medidas de precaución para evitar posibles contagios del virus, como incinerar los cuerpos de los delfines y prohibir que los toquen o consuman", alertó el biólogo en RPP.

La modelo y cantante ucraniana Valeria Lukyanova se ha convertido en un tema viral debido a su increíble parecido con la famosa muñeca de Mattel. Tiene 21 años, es budista y su música pertenece al género del 'New Age', donde incluso alcanza tonalidades de soprano. En su página de Facebook tiene cientos de fotos y en su canal de Youtube adelanta un diario y publica videos de su música, sus sesiones de fotos y hasta sin maquillaje. Al menos parece más real que otras 'Barbies' vivientes anteriores.
