Live and let die paul mccartney12/24/2022 Although McCartney’s previous single, “ My Love“, had been credited to ‘Paul McCartney & Wings’, the label of the “Live and Let Die” single credited the performing artist simply as ‘Wings’. The single was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America for sales of over one million copies. Studios, with Ray Cooper providing percussion instruments. Wings recorded “ Live and Let Die” during the sessions for the Red Rose Speedway album, in October 1972. The Arnau version of the song appears on the soundtrack album as a component in a medley that also contains two George Martin-composed instrumental pieces, “ Fillet of Soul – New Orleans” and “ Fillet of Soul – Harlem“. Arnau’s performance originally was meant for the group Fifth Dimension. A second version of the song, performed by B. Saltzman, who had previously rejected the chance to produce A Hard Day’s Night, decided not to make the same mistake twice and agreed. Martin said McCartney would allow the song to be used in the movie only if Wings was able to perform the song in the opening credits. Originally, producer Harry Saltzman was interested in having Shirley Bassey or Thelma Houston perform it instead of Wings. That afternoon I wrote the song and went in the next week and did it … It was a job of work for me in a way because writing a song around a title like that’s not the easiest thing going.“ “ I read it and thought it was pretty good. McCartney asked to be sent a copy of Ian Fleming’s novel. Broccoli invited Paul McCartney to write the theme song. Background and recordingĮven before Tom Mankiewicz had finished writing the screenplay to Live and Let Die, producers Harry Saltzman and Albert R.

The green lantern12/24/2022 We demand one chaste kiss between hero and heroine, but no funny stuff. We don't really expect subtle acting or nuanced dialogue. Fans of the Green Lantern (in his intergalactic story mode and not his earthbound TV series) will no doubt enjoy its visualizations and its references to details of the back story that escaped me. The bottom line: This is a comic-book movie. Amanda Waller ( Angela Bassett) and the composure with which Senator Hammond ( Tim Robbins) deals with a haywire helicopter. I also liked the fierce determination of Dr. A subplot about Hector's mind-reading abilities is not developed very well. What becomes of Hector I will not say, but Sarsgaard gives him a dimension lacking in the cookie-cutter heroics of Hal Jordan. This is Hector Hammond ( Peter Sarsgaard), a brilliant scientist nerd with a wispy mustache and a servile superiority. The movie has a character I found interesting, if inconsistent. Was it less than 10 years ago that we wondered if movies could ever use such images again after 9/11? In one scene while the foreground is filled with terrified humans who are fleeing toward the camera, behind them Parallax causes skyscrapers to tumble. Although he manifests a diabolical face, he seems otherwise to consist mostly of roiling tendrils of foul, polluted matter. Parallax, it must be said, is a well-imagined malevolence. Often they take forms created by Hal Jordan's imagination, because whatever he wills becomes real. The problem with many of these special effects is that they don't take on the gravity and substance of real events they are an obvious extrusion of animation into the physical world. I nostalgically recalled " Thor," in which Thor commutes to Earth to do battle with the avatars of his own satanic malevolent egomaniac. Among them are numerous split-second journeys across galaxies by speeding green spheres that shuttle between Earth and the domain of the aliens, while dismissing all technicalities of the speed of life. If that's what you want, that's what you get. It intends to be a sound-and-light show, assaulting the audience with sensational special effects. "Green Lantern" does not intend to be plausible. I am amazed at how calmly humans absorb and accept the incredulities of these stories ("Waitaminit! I wear this magic green ring and I'm a superhero? Gee, that's every kid's dream!") Nor does "Green Lantern" shortchange us on dialogue indeed, it spends a great deal of time at the impossible task of explaining the logic and rules of its plot. One of the absurdities of many modern superhero movies is how they adorn silly plots with great solemnity and millions of dollars in special effects. If this sounds childish, of course it is. Hal learns that the ring gives him great power, but he must believe in the triumph of his Will and conquer the weakness of Fear. His spaceship, which has survived a journey across the cosmos, crash-lands, and he lives long enough to hand over a green ring and a lantern to, of course, Hal Jordan. One of these corpsmen is sent on a mission to find a worthy man on Earth to become a member of the corps. Does Carl worry about his daughter flying in dogfights at supersonic speeds? To answer that question would require him to reveal emotion, and he is locked immobile in Superhero Tycoon Mode.įar away in the universe, the benign aliens have created the Green Lantern Corps to spread out and combat the evil Parallax. His fellow pilot is Carol Ferris ( Blake Lively), the daughter of the tycoon Carl Ferris ( Jay O. The movie stars Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, a test pilot who proves that humans are better at flying fighter planes than computers.

San marti del canigo12/24/2022 Because beyond the political and administrative borders there is and there was, in addition to the human and economic relationship, a very strong link, which comes from the mountain itself, and the flame and the mythical force created by the legends and religious beliefs associated with two emblematic peaks, the Canigó and the Puigmal.Ībbot Oliba, of whom in 2008 we celebrated the millennium, was the builder of this country of mountains, through the ambitious projects of Cuixà and Ripoll monasteries, but also on a smaller scale, by creating small rural parishes like St. There are many examples at all levels showing that the border did not stop the human relationship, nor did it cause the loss of transhumance routes, nor those of pilgrims from Pi, for example, direction Núria. Moreover, the human and economic relationship was not so interrupted as it could be expected by the Treaty of the Pyrenees (November, 7th 1659) which led to the annexation to the French crown of the whole old county of Roussillon and part of that of Cerdanya, whereas the Vall de Ribes and the Vall de Camprodon remained under Spanish jurisdiction. We must not forget the survival today of ancient livestock traditions such as the choice of mulattoes of Espinavell, so well known and celebrated by the villages of Molló and Pi. Worth among many other examples, the proposed trek was used by the shepherds and animals from Prats de Mollo, who had the right to graze at Planoles until at least 1639. Therefore, the contact between herders and livestock in these regions took often place in the landscape the participants will contemplate during the journey. It was agreed that those flocks grazing at Vinçà would have free access to the pastures of Queralbs. In the fifteenth century, a period of great progress of livestock, when the butchers of Barcelona were interested in the supply of good products for the city markets, and bought meat from Conflent and Vall the Ribes, a strategic alliance was established between large pastures and shepherds of Coma de Vaca (Queralbs) and the pastures of Vinçà (Conflent). Vall de Ribes and Conflent present, though, an even closer and more continuous relationship through an unknown, but essential to the understanding of the economy and the lifestyle in the mountains: livestock.

Ultimately, If Babel Had a Form illuminates the demanding force of even the slightest sameness entangled in the translator’s work of remaking our differences.One of the largest publishers in the United States, the Johns Hopkins University Press combines traditional books and journals publishing units with cutting-edge service divisions that sustain diversity and independence among nonprofit, scholarly publishers, societies, and associations. The conclusion returns to the deconstructive genealogy of recent debates on translation and untranslatability, displacing the axiom of radical alterity for a no less radical equivalence that remains- pace Fenollosa-far from easy or exceptional. The book’s transpacific readings glean those forms of equivalence from the writing of Fenollosa, the vernacular experiments of Boxer Scholar Hu Shi, the trilingual musings of Shanghai-born Los Angeles novelist Eileen Chang, the minor work of the Bay Area Korean American transmedial artist Theresa Cha, and a post-Tiananmen elegy by the exiled dissident Yang Lian. Yet the writers studied in this book veered from those ways of knowing to theorize a poetic equivalence: negating the colonial foundations of the concept, they ignited aporias of meaning into flashpoints for a radical literary translation. As a concept, equivalence has been rejected for its colonizing epistemology of value, naming a broken promise of translation and false premise of comparison. The result, Tze-Yin Teo argues, saw translators cleaving to the sounds and shapes of poetry to imagine a translingual “likeness of form” but not of meaning or kind.Īt stake in this form without meaning is a startling new task of equivalence. Transpacific translation breached the regulative protocols that created those very differences of human value and cultural meaning. In twentieth-century intersections of China and Asia with the United States, translations did more than communicate meaning across politicized and racializing differences of language and nation. “The likeness of form between Chinese and English sentences,” writes the American Sinologist Ernest Fenollosa around 1906, “renders translation from one to the other exceptionally easy.” If Babel Had a Form asks not if his claim may be true, but what its phantasmic surprise may yet do.

Scientific study of karst terrain is a Slovene specialty, research having begun during the 18th century in Habsburg Carniola. Most of the region is known to Slovenes by its historical names: Dolenjska (Lower Carniola) and Notranjska (Inner Carniola). The Suha Krajina is a karstified plateau the Bela Krajina is a transitional belt that contains plains and points toward the Subpannonia (Pannonian Plain). Although it constitutes one-fourth of Slovenia’s area, the Kras region has only a fraction of the country’s population, which is concentrated between the wooded limestone ridges in dry and blind valleys, hollows, and poljes. Slovenia’s second major physiographic region, the Kras (Karst), a spur of the lengthy Dinaric Alps in the southwestern part of the country, is dotted with caves and underground rivers, the characteristic features of karst topography (whose term is derived from the name of the region). On Gorenjska’s southern edge is the spacious Ljubljana basin, which contains the capital as well as the industrial city of Kranj. Slovenes refer to the Mea and Mislinja river valleys as Koroška (Carinthia). The historical name for the central Alpine lands is Gorenjska (Upper Carniola), a name that Slovenes still use. The main subalpine range is the Pohorje, located south of the Drava River. Slightly lower than the High Alps is the subalpine “ridge-and-valley” terrain. In a vale beneath Triglav lie idyllic Lake Bohinj and Lake Bled. In the north and northwest, along the borders with Italy and Austria, are the High Alps, comprising the Kamnik and Savinja, the Karavanke ( Karawanken), and the Julian Alps the latter includes Slovenia’s highest peak, Mount Triglav, at 9,396 feet (2,864 metres). The first is the Alpine region, which takes up about two-fifths of Slovenia’s surface area. In Slovenia four main physiographic regions can be distinguished.

Qobuz download12/24/2022 What I can say is that every good recording sounded really good when streaming on Qobuz. I didn’t buy any downloads from Qobuz so I can’t say how they would sound. On some, it sounds just as good and on others not quite as good. I’m disappointed to admit that it’s hard to say. The other question I asked myself was how does streaming Qobuz sound compared to files downloaded to my Innuos Mini. I found this disappointing because I really don’t want to pay to have both services. However, when I played Duke Ellington’s Masterpieces, it definitely sounded better on Tidal. Harry Belafonte, Sarah Jarosz, and Alison Krauss all sounded better on Qobuz. Rob Wasserman’s album, Duets, sounded very good, and better than it did on Tidal. I had no problem finding any of the albums I use most often for reviewing or setting up equipment. Let me just say, if this 65-year-old vinyl junkie can navigate it so can you! Sound I found the interface a joy to use both on my MacBook Plus and on my Innuos Mini music server. Hi-Res albums are flagged with the familiar ‘Hi-Res Audio’ logo, both in the library interface and the playback bar where you can click to change the stream quality. There’s now a balance with pop, rock, and bluegrass well represented. Qobuz has been known in Europe more for classical and jazz genres and French artists. Hi-Res streams for Sublime+ members are available on Web, desktop and mobile platforms, as well as for several networked products with Google Chromecast or DTS Play. There are also iOS and Android mobile apps plus support from and integration into a wide range of audio products such as my Innuos Mini music server. You can access Qobuz’s web player online at, or you can download their PC or Mac desktop apps. I love this feature and will talk about it more below. They also offer their subscribers the ability to purchase and download files up to their Hi-Res Quality. Instead, they stream files at MP3 Quality (320 kbps), CD Quality (FLAC 16-bit / 44.1 kHZ) and Hi-Res Quality (FLAC 24-bit up to 192 kHZ). They use a different approach from Tidal, the service I have been using from time to time. Now available in the US, Qobuz offers more than 40 million tracks and over two million of them are stated to be Hi-Res. Anyway, Hi-Res Streaming is available with its Qobuz Sublime+ subscription. In fact, in the summer of 2015, they were the first online music service to offer 24-bit Hi-Res for as much of their catalog as possible since some distributors/labels only provide CD-quality max. In 2009, Qobuz offered the first catalog of CD-quality downloads, and in 2011, the first CD-quality streaming service. Qobuz, the French subscription digital streaming and download service, was started in 2008 and is on the cutting edge. However, since the DAC I fell in love with only plays files up to 24/96 kHZ, my system may seem a little limited to those of you who are really into Hi-Res music. This little combo is the most musically satisfying digital gear I’ve ever heard in my system. Yes, I reviewed some digital systems that cost over $40,000 when I was writing for Dagogo, but the first system to tempt me in the last 15 years has been the Innuos Mini music server paired with the Border Patrol DAC. In fact, those of you who read my reviews regularly know, for years I had no digital system of my own. If you know me, you know I’m an old vinyl guy, so it may surprise you that I’m writing this review about Qobuz, digital streaming and download service.

Natalie macmaster step dancing12/24/2022 In concert situations few dancers have a set routine, and those who do are often in a synchronized performance with one or more people. While there are steps which are common to all dancers, and steps which are unique to particular dancers, dancing styles are as individual as the dancer. In metro Halifax, for example, there are at least half a dozen dance classes being offered throughout the year. As people become more interested in their Scottish roots and others are identifying with the international focus on all that is Celtic, the demand for stepdancing classes is on the rise. In the early 1970's, for example, there were classes being taught by such notable dancers as Margaret Dunn, Minnie MacMaster, and Fr. More recently, stepdancing classes began to sprout in many communities in Cape Breton and North Eastern Nova Scotia. In fact, Maggie Ann Beaton, in Allister MacGillivray's A Cape Breton Ceilidh, talks about her father having attended a dancing school in Mabou. There are, however, records of ‘dance masters’ who emigrated from Scotland and passed on their art form to their descendants and others who taught stepdancing in various communities in Cape Breton as early as 1790. Maggie Ann learned from her father, Donald Cameron, and she passed the dancing on to her daughter, Minnie, who in turn taught her daughter, Natalie MacMaster. One such family is the late Maggie Ann Beaton's of Southwest Mabou. Stepdancing is usually passed on in the home and some families are renowned for having generations of outstanding dancers. Although stepdancing has evolved somewhat, it has withstood the test of time and is a popular form on Cape Breton Island and indeed many parts of the mainland of Nova Scotia. Whether it is a solo performance on a concert stage or an intricate part of a set dance at a local hall, stepdancing is an artistic expression older than our highland ancestors themselves who introduced the tradition to the new world in the eighteenth century.
