The Aérotrain was a Hovertrain developed in France from 1965 to 1977. The lead engineer was Jean Bertin.
The goal of the Aérotrain was similar to that of the magnetic levitation train: to suspend the train above the tracks so the only resistance is that of air resistance. Consequently, the Aérotrain could travel at very high speeds with reasonable energy consumption and noise levels, but without the technical complexity and expensive tracks of magnetic levitation.
This project was abandoned in 1977 due to lack of funding, the death of Jean Bertin, and the adoption of TGV by the French government as its high-speed ground transport solution.
The track for most Aérotrains are ferroconcrete monorail in an inverted 'T' shape. To date, all tracks were built and used for experimental purposes.
Five prototypes were built:
In 1970, Rohr Industries decided to develop a tracked air-cushion vehicle as part of a project by the Urban Mass Transit Administration to sponsor development of new mass transit technology to meet future transit requirements.
Michael Paul France (born 10 September 1968 in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire) is a former professional footballer who played as a defender for Huddersfield Town.
While at Huddersfield he was sent on loan to Cobh Ramblers in November 1988 [1].
He was Altrincham's player of the year in his first season, and went on to combine playing for the club with positions as Football in the Community Officer at first Leeds United and then Huddersfield Town.
He left Altrincham in 1999, having played over 300 games for the club, and signed for Stalybridge Celtic. He later joined Ashton United, but had left by November 2001.
In addition to being Football in the Community Officer at Huddersfield, he is also currently the manager of the Sporting Pride Community Trust, based in Huddersfield.
Jacques Cheminade (French pronunciation: [ʒak ʃəminad]; born August 20, 1941 in Buenos Aires, Argentina) is a French political activist. He is the head of the LaRouche movement in France.
After graduating from the HEC Paris, law school, and the École nationale d'administration, Cheminade became a career officer in the Directorate of Foreign Economic Relations of the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Industry, a position he held until 1981.
Cheminade met Lyndon LaRouche in early 1974 in New York, where he was a commercial attaché to the French embassy from 1972 to 1977. He compares this encounter to Socratic midwifery. According to a 1976 FBI document, he was then a "rank and file member" in the National Caucus of Labor Committees, a political organization directed by Lyndon LaRouche which had founded its own "intelligence units" in 1971, where he "work[ed] in the International Intelligence Section" (see document, left). His return to France in 1977 was motivated by a desire to devote himself "full time to political activities and the advocacy of Mr. LaRouche's ideas and policies".
My heart runs far from where you intended
Come after me, please
My heart runs far from where you intended
Come after me, please
The son has come home, we're rejoicing
The son has come home, rejoice my soul
The son has come home, we're rejoicing
The son has come home, rejoice my soul
The son has come home, we're rejoicing
The son has come home, rejoice my soul
The son has come home, we're rejoicing

[Swano]
Day and night just come and go
I hate that life is so deceiving
I feel this urge to turn away
From all the sadness and grieving
I find my way back to the place where we were parted
All I hear is my heart pounding inside
I'm so afraid of what I'll see when I return
There's a part of me that needs to say goodbye
Until we meet again
Now and then he reappears
In my dreams
In my illusions
Pointing out the chosen path
It feels so real
Am I really dreaming?
Soon I'll see what time has done to my creation
Hell on Earth is just a few steps away
The Sun is hiding
I am in the heart of darkness
I'm closing in on the godforsaken tree
The moment I defy the pain
Is here again, in another way
All the fear in my life
Is erased from my soul
I never knew that my fantasies
Could be oh so close to reality
And what I see here right now
Is so hard to believe
I see the rope, my friend is gone
His body's nowhere to be found
I hear him whisper in the wind
I hear him calling out my name
Am I going insane?
The moment I defy the fear
Is here again, I can feel he's near
All the fear in my life
Have returned to my soul
I never knew that my fantasies
Could be oh so close to reality
And what I'm hearing right now
My heart runs far from where You intended
Come after me, please
My heart runs far from where You intended
Come after me, please
The son has come home
We're rejoicing
The son has come home

Ovunque crepitino le rarit?
ovunque cessino i meriti
ovunque cada la scelta di fermarti qui
qualunque sia la novit?
ovunque crepitino le verit?
ovunque cessino i debiti
ovuqnue cada la scelta di fermarti qui
qualunque sia la novit?
essere padroni di se stessi
calma questo tempo dei gesti
essere padroni di se stessi
celebra i ritorni ma non sazia
ovunque crepitino le rarit?
ovunque cessino i meriti
ovunque cada la scelta di fermarti qui
qualunque sia la novit?
essere padroni di se stessi
calma questo tempo dei gesti
essere padroni di se stessi

c'? una regola che si complica
se anche questo viaggio partecipi
sola
essere padroni di se stessi
calma questo tempo dei gesti
essere padroni di se stessi
celebra i ritorni ma non sazia
