A Sociedade de Maria é uma sociedade devocional anglicana dedicada e sob o patrocínio de Maria, mãe de Jesus. Como afirma seu site, é um grupo de cristãos anglicanos "dedicados à Glória de Deus e à Santa Encarnação de Cristo sob a invocação de Nossa Senhora, Auxílio dos Cristãos". A Sociedade Anglicana de Maria não deve ser confundida com as duas ordens religiosas católicas romanas de mesmo nome, comumente chamadas de Maristas e Marianistas.

Objetivos
Os objetivos declarados da sociedade são:

 Amar e honrar Maria
 Para espalhar a devoção a ela em reparação pela negligência e incompreensão do passado
 Tomar Maria como modelo de pureza, relacionamento pessoal e vida familiar

Os membros da sociedade mantêm uma regra de vida que inclui devoções marianas tradicionais (como o Angelus e o Rosário), intercessão pelos fiéis membros da sociedade que já partiram, participação na missa nas principais festas e solenidades marianas e envolvimento ativo no trabalho apostólico.

Nas localidades onde há vários membros, eles podem se reunir para formar organizações locais chamadas "alas" ou "células". Esses grupos se reúnem para oração e comunhão.

A revista da sociedade, chamada AVE, é publicada duas vezes por ano.

História
A Sociedade de Maria começou em 1931 como a combinação de duas outras sociedades: A Confraria de Nossa Senhora (formada em 1880) e a Liga de Nossa Senhora (formada em 1902). A região americana da sociedade recebeu sua independência em 1962. Embora de origem anglicana, existem membros não anglicanos da sociedade e eles podem ser encontrados em todo o mundo. As principais organizações regionais estão na Inglaterra e nos Estados Unidos.

Imaginos is the eleventh studio album by the American rock band Blue Öyster Cult. It was released in 1988, and was their last recording with their original record label, CBS/Columbia Records.

The album took nearly eight years to complete and was originally intended to be the first in a trilogy of solo albums by Blue Öyster Cult drummer and songwriter Albert Bouchard. Bouchard was fired in August 1981, and CBS rejected the album in 1984, but a re-worked version was eventually published as a product of the band. Many guest musicians contributed to the project over this eight-year span, including Joe Satriani, Aldo Nova, and Doors guitarist Robby Krieger, but some band members were barely involved in the recording process. Thus, Imaginos is often considered more as a project of producer and lyricist Sandy Pearlman than as a true album of the band.

Imaginos weaves scripts and poems by Pearlman, dating from the second half of the 1960s, into a concept album and rock opera about an alien conspiracy that is brought to fruition during the late 19th and early 20th century through the actions of Imaginos, an agent of evil. The tale combines elements of gothic literature and science fiction and is strongly inspired by the work of H. P. Lovecraft. Subtitled "a bedtime story for the children of the damned", it has an intricate storyline whose often-obscure lyrics contain many historical references, prompting speculation by fans and critics. It is often considered one of the heaviest albums released by Blue Öyster Cult, its music more akin to heavy metal than the melodic and commercial hard rock of their two previous works. The poor sales of those albums resulted in record label pressure on the band that led to their disbandment in 1986; a subsequent comeback featured only three members of the classic line-up.

The album received some critical acclaim, but was not a commercial success, and Columbia Records ended their contract with Blue Öyster Cult at the completion of the Imaginos Tour. Albert Bouchard, excluded from the recording progress of Imaginos after the initial rejection from Columbia Records, then took legal action against the band and the label to protect his rights as author and producer on the album. Blue Öyster Cult continued to perform and remained a live attraction, but ten years passed before they released an album of new songs.

Background

Sandy Pearlman and The Soft Doctrines of Imaginos
The concept and the character of Imaginos were originally created by the young Sandy Pearlman for a collection of poems and scripts called The Soft Doctrines of Imaginos (sometimes reported as Immaginos), written in the mid-1960s during his formative years as a student of anthropology and sociology at Stony Brook University, Brandeis University and The New School. Pearlman combined cultural references learned in his studies with elements of gothic literature and science fiction, and created a secret history about the origin of the two world wars. Pearlman himself declared his predilection for the American weird fiction author "H. P. Lovecraft and other writers of that ilk", as well as for books on modern warfare and conspiracies.

Established by 1967 as a critic for the seminal US music magazine Crawdaddy!, Pearlman was also the mentor, manager and producer for the band Soft White Underbelly, which, after various name changes, became Blue Öyster Cult, a term taken from the Imaginos script. The adapted and amended rhymes of Pearlman, along with his friend and colleague Richard Meltzer's arcane writings, were used as lyrics for most of the band's early songs; musician and writer Lenny Kaye recalls in his introduction to the re-mastered edition of their first album that "the band kept a folder full of Meltzer's and Pearlman's word associations in their rehearsal room, and would leaf through it, setting fragments to music". Fragments of the Imaginos script are scattered out-of-context throughout the songs of the first four albums, where the original meanings are lost to listeners unaware of the larger picture. The resulting mystery feeds fan fascination for the music of Blue Öyster Cult, and is responsible for their reputation as "the world's brainiest heavy metal band". Much fan speculation centers around lyrics' relationship to the Imaginos storyline, while Pearlman's deliberate reticence and misleading in revealing his sources only augments the obscurity of the matter. During the band's first period of activity, the theme of the alien conspiracy became more defined and predominant in the mind of its author, to the point that notes on the cover of their 1974 album Secret Treaties referred to the secret history conceived by Pearlman, while its songs "Astronomy" and "Subhuman" contained lyrics fully dedicated to the Imaginos plot.

The band sought to separate creatively from Pearlman in the late 1970s; they avoided his lyrics and concepts and refused to record an album entirely dedicated to Imaginos, but eventually returned to his material for the lyrics of "Shadow of California" (from The Revölution by Night of 1983) and "When the War Comes" (from Club Ninja of 1985). Pearlman and Albert Bouchard hoped to record such an album, and as far back as 1972 had begun to write songs directly inspired by the Imaginos story. Nonetheless, with the exception of the extracts used for song lyrics, the text of The Soft Doctrines of Imaginos remains to this day largely unknown and unpublished.

Blue Öyster Cult in 1988

The commercial success of the single "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" in 1976, and a series of Platinum and Gold discs in the following years, placed pressure on the band as their label, Columbia Records, expected them to repeat these successes. Despite good sales of the album Fire of Unknown Origin and the single "Burnin' for You", in August 1981 the conflicts and the stress accumulated in more than ten years of cohabitation led to the firing of drummer Albert Bouchard, a founding member and an important contributor to the songwriting and sound of the group, allegedly for unstable behavior. The relationship between the former band mates remained tense in the following years. Old feuds resurfaced during a short reunion tour with the original line-up in 1985, with the result that no one in the band accepted A. Bouchard back in Blue Öyster Cult. However, A. Bouchard still hoped to be reinstated in the band through his work done for Imaginos.

Albert Bouchard's departure started a rotation of personnel in the formerly stable band roster, which by 1986 left only Eric Bloom and Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser as original members. Allen Lanier left in 1985 during the recording sessions for Club Ninja, unsatisfied by the music and annoyed at the presence of Tommy Zvoncheck as his replacement, while Joe Bouchard quit soon after that album's release to pursue different career opportunities, play other musical genres, and settle in his family life. The release of two expensive studio albums in 1983 and 1985, which received generally bad critical response and sold poorly, ruined the relationship with their demanding record label and left the band with little support and very few ideas on how to go on with their careers. As a result, "in the summer of 1986, the band semi-officially broke up", Bloom explained in an interview to the British music magazine Kerrang! in 1988. The final line-up of 1986 included Bloom, Roeser, Tommy Zvoncheck on keyboards, Jon Rogers on bass and Jimmy Willcox on drums.

Pearlman's and Steve Schenk's managerial efforts were rewarded when Blue Öyster Cult were hired for some gigs in Greece in July 1987. After a nine-month layoff, the band returned to activity and Allen Lanier re-joined. The European shows were a success, and the reformed line-up of Bloom, Roeser, Lanier, Jon Rogers and drummer Ron Riddle worked well together on stage. Blue Öyster Cult returned to the road in 1987 and 1988 with renewed enthusiasm, but without a new album to promote, until the release of Imaginos.

Concept and storyline
Imaginos was envisioned as a rock opera to be published as a trilogy of double albums, with a storyline encompassing about two hundred years of history, from the beginning of the 19th century to the end of the 20th. This album represents an abbreviated version of the first volume of that planned trilogy, but with the songs arranged out of order, rendering the story harder to comprehend. Even when the song lyrics are analyzed in the chronological order that was devised by the authors and is followed in this section, the narrative progression is scarce and the content often difficult to decipher for the casual reader. However, thanks to various comments in interviews by Pearlman and Bouchard, and the extensive sleeve notes by Pearlman that were issued with the original release, it is possible to reconstruct the story to a great extent.

Although often referred to as a dream, the concept behind Imaginos is what Pearlman described as "an interpretation of history – an explanation for the onset of World War I, or a revelation of the occult origins of it", which he crafted on elements of mythology, sociology, alchemy, science and occultism. This "combination of horror story and fairy tale" cites historical facts and characters, and is filled with literate references to ancient civilizations in a conspiracy theory of epic proportions, the subject of which is the manipulation of the course of human history.

Central to this story are Les Invisibles (The Invisible Ones), a group of seven beings worshipped by the natives of Mexico and Haiti prior to the arrival of Spanish colonists in the 16th century, identified by some fans as the Loa of the Voodoo religion. The nature of Les Invisibles is left unclear, although it is hinted that they may be extraterrestrials, or beings akin to the Great Old Ones in the works of H. P. Lovecraft. An interpretation of the lyrics of the song "Astronomy" by some fans suggests that the star Sirius is of particular astrological significance to Les Invisibles, with clues identifying it as their place of origin; it is during the so-called Dog Days of August, when Sirius is in conjunction with the Sun that their influence over mankind is at its apex. By subtly influencing the minds of men, the beings are said to be "playing with our history as if it's a game", affecting events in world history over the course of centuries. For the three centuries after European discovery of the New World, this game plays out as the desire for gold is used to transform Spain into the dominant power in Europe, only to be usurped by England in the 17th century and later, through technology, by other nations ("Les Invisibles").

The principal story begins in August 1804, with the birth of a "modified child" called Imaginos, in the American state of New Hampshire. Because of the astrological significance of the place and time of his birth, the hermaphroditic Imaginos is of particular interest to Les Invisibles, who begin investing him with superhuman abilities while he is young. Unaware of his true destiny or nature, the young Imaginos finds out that he is apparently able to change his appearance at will and to see the future ("Imaginos"). As the child becomes an adult he finds himself affected by wanderlust and, billing himself as an adventurer, sets out to explore Texas and the western frontier, arriving in New Orleans in 1829. It is there that he has a vision imploring him to travel to Mexico in search of an artifact "lost, last and luminous, scored to sky yet never found". Imaginos joins the crew of a ship traveling to the Yucatán Peninsula, but while passing through the Gulf of Mexico, the ship encounters a freak storm of which his visions failed to warn him ("Del Rio's Song"). The ship sinks with most of its crew, and Imaginos, half dead, washes ashore and is left for dead by the other survivors. As he lies dying "on a shore where oyster beds seem plush as down", Imaginos is addressed by a symphony of voices who identify themselves as Les Invisibles. Imaginos' true nature is revealed to him, and he is informed that the circumstances of his entire life have been manipulated to bring him to that specific moment in time. Having explained themselves to him, they offer him a choice – die as a human, or live as their servant ("Blue Öyster Cult"). Imaginos accepts their offer, and is resurrected from the dead by the Blue Öyster Cult, the servants of Les Invisibles. He is inducted into the cult and given a new name - Desdinova, "Eternal Light". He realizes that his descent and the origin of his powers comes from the stars where his masters live and becomes aware of his role in the making of history ("Astronomy").

Imaginos becomes from this point on an instrument of Les Invisibles' manipulation of human history. For the next sixty-three years, he insinuates himself into the world of European politics. He uses his ability to change identities to take the place of high-ranking officials, whose offices he uses to bring about Les Invisibles' will ("I Am the One You Warned Me Of"), introducing new knowledge and technology to the unsuspecting world ("The Siege and Investiture of Baron Von Frankenstein's Castle at Weisseria"). Through shapeshifting, Imaginos  lives as both a man and a woman, using the name Desdinova for his female persona who at some point takes the office of foreign minister.

By 1892, Imaginos is living in a mansion in Cornwall and has a nine-year-old granddaughter. Having by this time spent several decades studying mysticism and astrology, Imaginos discovers that Elizabethan England's rise as a superpower coincided with John Dee's acquisition of a magic obsidian mirror from Mexico, which serves as a bridge between Les Invisibles' alien world and ours, and the means to spread their influence on Earth. Some fans see Les Invisibles' actions in favour of England against Spain as a sort of vengeance for the extermination by the conquistadores of their worshippers in Central America, while others view their intervention as only part of the mysterious scheme carried on by the alien entities through the centuries ("In the Presence of Another World").

This revelation in mind, Imaginos decides that the time has come to reattempt his aborted mission to Mexico. On August 1, 1892, he sets sail aboard a "charmed ship" which, despite "storms on land and storms at sea", delivers him faithfully to Mexico. After several months exploring the jungles of Yucatán he finds an undiscovered Mayan pyramid. Following a long passage into the interior of the pyramid he discovers a chamber carved from solid jade, in which he finds the "Magna of Illusion", a twin of Dee's magic mirror. Stealing away with the artifact, he returns to Cornwall a year to the day of his departure, which coincides with the tenth birthday of his granddaughter. Imaginos gives the mirror to the young girl as a birthday present, and for the following 21 years it sits collecting dust in her attic, silently poisoning the minds of European leaders. In 1914, "World War I breaks out. A disease with a long incubation" ("Magna of Illusion").

The two songs excluded from the final release introduced further elements to the plot. "Gil Blanco County", a song with music written by Allen Lanier for Soft White Underbelly in the late 1960s and recorded in the unpublished Elektra album of the Stalk-Forrest Group (now available as St. Cecilia: The Elektra Recordings), has short and elusive lyrics apparently detailing the escape of Imaginos from Texas to Arizona. The other song, "The Girl That Love Made Blind", is an Albert Bouchard composition which explains that Imaginos' powers include the capacity of moving "in and through time", assuming different identities in every moment of history.

Production

Albert Bouchard's solo album

Albert Bouchard began writing music for Imaginos following the release of the band's first album in 1972. There were plans as early as 1975 to release a concept album dedicated to Pearlman's scripts, but the material was not ready. All of the songs had been written by 1977, with the participation of various band members, and at least four of them ("Astronomy", "In the Presence of Another World", "I Am the One You Warned Me Of", "Imaginos") were completed and demoed during the recording sessions for the album Spectres. Demos of the other tracks were recorded by Albert Bouchard and remained in various stages of development during the following years, with the band uninterested in pursuing the Imaginos project that Albert Bouchard and Sandy Pearlman had been insistently proposing.

After Albert Bouchard's 1981 dismissal from Blue Öyster Cult, he and Pearlman worked on the material, having secured an advance from Columbia Records on the strength of the demos partially sung by Eric Bloom. The initial concept of a trilogy of double albums, largely based on music written during the band's many years of activity and on adapted and rewritten Pearlman  lyrics linked by the Imaginos storyline, is reflected in the working titles: Act I: Imaginos, Act II: Germany Minus Zero and Counting (also known as Bombs over Germany and Half-Life Time), and Act III: The Mutant Reformation. These were intended as Albert Bouchard solo albums, a spin-off of Blue Öyster Cult main discography, although some fan opinion holds that Columbia Records had intended all along that the recordings would result in a new Blue Öyster Cult album.

Albert Bouchard and Pearlman set up the recording of the basic tracks for the first album of the trilogy in June 1982, with sound engineers Corky Stasiak and Paul Mandl at Kingdom Sound Studios in Long Island, New York, and at The Boogie Hotel, a studio owned by the boogie rock band Foghat and located in a large Victorian mansion in Port Jefferson, New York. At the same time and in the same facilities, Blue Öyster Cult were recording the album The Revölution by Night with producer Bruce Fairbairn. Albert Bouchard sang lead vocals and played guitar on all tracks, accompanied by:
 Tommy Morrongiello (Ian Hunter Band, Helen Wheels), guitars and arrangements,
Jack Rigg (David Johansen Band) and Phil Grande (Peter Criss and Ellen Foley session musician), guitars,
Tommy Mandel (Ian Hunter Band, Bryan Adams), keyboards,
Kenny Aaronson, bass,
Thommy Price (Scandal), drums.

The guitar solos by The Doors' Robby Krieger, who had played live with Blue Öyster Cult on Extraterrestrial Live, and guitar parts by Aldo Nova and the late Kevin Carlson, guitarist of the Aldo Nova Band, should also be ascribed to these recording sessions. According to Bouchard, Jeff Kawalik, Corky Stasiak, Helen Wheels, Glen Bell, Peggy Atkins and Casper McCloud were among the uncredited background vocalists which participated to these sessions.

Allen Lanier, Joe Bouchard and Donald Roeser contributed instrumental parts and backing vocals to the tracks as guests. These remain Lanier's and Joe Bouchard's only contributions to Imaginos. Columbia Records' complaints about Albert Bouchard's lead vocals pushed him to finance multiple recordings with try-outs of singers, including Jon Rogers and Joey Cerisano, whose performances on some songs were used for the final mix of the album in 1988. The new recordings, overdubs by other uncredited musicians, and mixing lasted until 1984. Musicians involved in this second phase of recording included future BÖC keyboard player Tommy Zvoncheck, who had already played with Clarence Clemons, Public Image Ltd and The Dream Syndicate.

An almost-finished product that comprised more than ninety minutes of music and whose thirteen tracks included re-arranged versions of  "Astronomy" and "Subhuman" (retitled "Blue Öyster Cult"), "Gil Blanco County", the ballad "The Girl That Love Made Blind" and a couple of chorales, was presented to Columbia Records executives in 1984. They rejected the album and decided to shelve it, officially because of Albert Bouchard's vocals and the lack of commercial perspectives.

The Blue Öyster Cult album
Despite the firm intention of Sandy Pearlman and Albert Bouchard to salvage the project, the recordings remained unfinished and untouched for more than two years due to lack of funding. While struggling with the long, complex and expensive production of the Blue Öyster Cult's album Club Ninja, Pearlman associated himself with Daniel J. Levitin, A&R director of the local punk label 415 Records, with whom he shared academic interests in neuroscience. In 1986, Pearlman leased Studio C of San Francisco's Hyde Street Recording Studios, and dubbed it Alpha & Omega Studios. Pearlman and Levitin produced various bands there, and Pearlman sub-leased the studio to other producers. In September 1986, when the poor sales of Club Ninja resulted in a commercial failure and the group disbanded, the lack of new material from the band for the foreseeable future prompted Pearlman to propose Imaginos to Columbia Records as a new Blue Öyster Cult album. He obtained a small budget from the record label to remix the album and to add the vocals of Roeser and Bloom, singers of all the hits produced by Blue Öyster Cult.

With Imaginos again a work in progress at the end of 1986, band manager Steve Schenk contacted Albert Bouchard to get the original recordings he still owned. Pearlman, with the help of engineers Paul Mandl and Steve Brown, spent his time cleaning up, re-arranging and remixing the original recordings, using state-of-the-art technology and the collaborations of studio musicians. Virtuoso guitarist Joe Satriani financed the recording of his second album, Surfing with the Alien, through his work on Imaginos. Similarly, thrash metal guitarist Marc Biedermann, whose band Blind Illusion was recording at Hyde Street Studios, mixed the album The Sane Asylum at Pearlman's studio in exchange for his collaboration. Biedermann declared in a 2008 interview that he "played more lead guitar on that album than Buck Dharma". Roeser went to California in early 1987 to record his lead vocals and some guitar parts, while Tommy Zvoncheck, still a member of Blue Öyster Cult, re-recorded most of the keyboards on the album. The last parts recorded were the lead vocals by Eric Bloom, who was in the studio in early 1988. Donald Roeser later summed up his and Bloom's late involvement in the making of the album by saying "Imaginos was our parting of the ways. That was something that Eric and I agreed to do, sort of, out of respect for Sandy and his effort that he made with Imaginos".

The as-imagined album and the as-released album bear little relation to each other. The final version of Imaginos is almost forty minutes shorter than the first version of 1984 and has two fewer songs, but as Pearlman explained, "we ran out of money and couldn't do the whole thing". The rhythm section of the original recording was kept mostly intact, but many guitars and most of the keyboards and lead vocals were re-recorded or remixed. The song order was scrambled out of the fixed chronology, possibly because of the label executives' intervention to have a more commercially attractive product. The sleeve notes' definition of the album as a "random access myth (where) everything happens all at once", appears to many as a posthumous justification for the mixed-up song order. Imaginos does not contain ballads or an immediately recognizable commercial single, and its music is often considered the heaviest produced by Blue Öyster Cult, the best attempt by the band to produce a heavy metal album. Critics and fans point to elements of progressive rock also present in the music, which create a dark and "ominous" atmosphere that fits the obscure content of the song lyrics.

Packaging

Artist Greg Scott, who had supplied the cover art for the Blue Öyster Cult albums Fire of Unknown Origin, Extraterrestrial Live and The Revolution by Night, worked with Sandy Pearlman for several months in 1984 to prepare paintings inspired by the Imaginos saga for the gatefold cover of the expected double album. "And none of that was ever seen, because it was shelved", Scott remarked in an interview with Canadian journalist Martin Popoff.

The art direction for the 1988 release was instead put in the hands of CBS Records' art director Arnold Levine and his staff. They based the cover art on a fin de siècle image of the Cliff House, a restaurant perched on the cliffs just north of Ocean Beach on the western side of San Francisco, California, built with the architectural style of a Victorian château and destroyed by fire in 1907. The back cover is a maritime landscape, modified to appear as the continuation of the picture on the front and similarly tinted in sinister black and grey colors.

The inner sleeve, besides the credits and Sandy Pearlman's lengthy notes on the Imaginos story, sports a large black and white photo by landscape British photographer Simon Marsden of Duntrune Castle in Argyllshire, Scotland.

The credits printed on the sleeve of the first release were largely incomplete and made no distinction between the recording sessions of 1982-84 and those of 1987-88, apparently validating the false assumption that the original line-up of Blue Öyster Cult had reunited for the making of the album. Aside from the list of band members, the credits reported only some session musicians and other members of the so-called Guitar Orchestra of the State of Imaginos, and omitted other personnel who had contributed to Imaginos.

Imaginos was mastered at Precision Lacquer in Los Angeles by Stephen Marcussen and finally released as LP and CD on July 1988, almost eight years after the work on it had begun and twenty-three years after the concept of Imaginos was created. A limited edition of the album was also released in blue vinyl.

The first single extracted from the album was an edited version of "Astronomy", which was released as a 7", as a 12" and as a CD single. American author Stephen King recorded the spoken introduction to the radio edit of the song, a reading of the lines written on the back cover of the LP. The 12" contains various mixes of "Astronomy", including one sung by Albert Bouchard. The single received sufficient radio airplay to reach No. 12 in the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in September 1988, but it did not enter the US singles chart. The CD single "In the Presence of Another World" was issued later only for promotional purposes, but received no attention from FM radio stations.

The album was largely neglected by the record label, which did little to no promotion in the US. Pearlman stated that "there was actually no intention on the part of Columbia Records at all to promote it. (...) Basically the people wanted to work it and they were told not to work it". Roeser commented later that he did not "think Sony's ever really known how to sell us, from the beginning (...) and Columbia never felt that they knew how to market us". Imaginos fared better with CBS International, which distributed the album abroad and produced a music video for "Astronomy" in the UK, which aired in coincidence with the European tour dates of 1989. The video clip does not feature members of the band, but begins with the spoken introduction by Stephen King and focuses on the storyline narrated in the album.

Albert Bouchard had been completely excluded from the retooling of the album for contractual reasons, but hoped to have his long work rewarded with a credit as co-producer, and to be paid accordingly. After the disbandment of Blue Öyster Cult, he contacted the other band members in an attempt to organize a 1987 reunion tour, with the original line-up, to promote Imaginos. His economic and membership requests were both rejected, due to resistances within the label and within the band, so he filed a lawsuit in 1989 against the management of Blue Öyster Cult and Columbia Records to receive payment for his work. The lawsuit was settled out of court, but his resentment towards Sandy Pearlman for what he felt was a theft of his work never eased, eliminating any chance of future collaborations for the completion of the Imaginos saga.

One of the final mixes of 1984, titled Albert Bouchard's Imaginos, surfaced on the Internet in 2003 as a free download. The album contains music recorded during the sessions from 1982 to 1984 and permits a comparison of arrangements, vocals and sound with the version published in 1988.

Imaginos was re-issued only once, through Sony BMG sub-label American Beat Records in December 2007. The 2007 reissue was remastered to adjust the volume levels and included a CD sleeve with corrected, but not complete, credits. A new remastered version of Imaginos is included in The Columbia Albums Collection boxed set, issued by Sony/Legacy in November 2012.

Tour
Blue Öyster Cult interrupted their schedule of US shows only just before the album release in June 1988, to familiarize the band members with the new material. The 1987 formation with Bloom, Roeser, Lanier, Rogers and Riddle remained the closest available to a full reunion, given Joe Bouchard's unwillingness to participate and the opposition to Albert Bouchard. The Imaginos Tour began in the East Coast of the US in July, and continued on to most of the States. The set lists were based mainly on old material and included only two or three songs from Imaginos, usually "I Am the One You Warned Me Of", "In the Presence of Another World" and the new version of "Astronomy". Blue Öyster Cult visited Canada in January 1989, France in February, the United Kingdom in March, and concluded their European tour in Germany in April.

During the following US tour, the new management of Columbia Records, which had been sold to Sony Music in 1988, terminated Columbia's almost 20-year relationship with Blue Öyster Cult because of their low sales. This left them without a recording contract for the next ten years. Eric Bloom stated that "in general, CBS was straight with us, when we had fans working inside the company", but after "3-4 different Presidents of the company came and went" the commercial appeal of Blue Öyster Cult had disappeared for the new management.

A review of their performance at The Ritz in New York on January 6, 1989, highlights the good shape and musicianship of the band, but remarks that the new songs were played with considerably less enthusiasm than the rest of the show. Although the band continued to tour regularly, the songs from Imaginos had already disappeared from their shows by the end of 1989, never to be performed live again.

Critical and commercial reception

Imaginos received mixed reviews both from professional critics and fans.

David Fricke, in his review for the magazine Rolling Stone, considers Imaginos "the best black-plastic blitz to bear the Cult's trademark cross and claw since 1974's Secret Treaties", but remarks that the "lengthy gestation" of the album and the many musicians involved makes it "a bit of a cheat for Cult Purists", and that is "only an illusionary re-creation of the way BÖC used to be". William Ruhlmann of AllMusic wrote that Imaginos is "the album that comes closest to defining Blue Öyster Cult" and their "creative swan song", and "perhaps BÖC's most consistent album, certainly its most uncompromising (...) and also the closest thing to a real heavy-metal statement from a band that never quite fit that description". For Don Kaye of Kerrang!, the album is "the best BÖC slab since (...) Cultösaurus Erectus and harks back in style and attitude towards the brilliance of masterpieces like Secret Treaties and Spectres". A contrary evaluation comes from Blue Öyster Cult biographer Martin Popoff, who has "come to dismiss it as somewhat of a sell-out". Despite it being "the band's heaviest, fulfilling many a fan's wish for sustained metal", Popoff finds "the whole thing perched on the edge of parody, too dressy and fantastical lyrically in a painfully self-conscious way, (...) a laborious exercise in expected weird", ultimately "a baffling yet anticlimactic punctuation to the band's perplexed career". A reviewer from the Italian music criticism site Storia della Musica points out that the album is now a 'cult' item for its rarity, its content and the scarce love shown by the band for this work. He writes that "it could have been the Tommy or The Dark Side of the Moon of BÖC" but, "despite the profound influences it evokes", its "mutilated and sabotaged form" and the disinterest of the musicians involved makes Imaginos only a wasted opportunity.

The reviews posted by Blue Öyster Cult's fans and by buyers of the album on the customer review site Epinions and on the online collaborative metadata database Rate Your Music are in general quite positive, praising Imaginos as a "creative masterpiece", but underlining that the work is not a group effort but "the brain-child of original drummer Albert Bouchard and longtime producer and lyricist Sandy Pearlman". A professional Italian reviewer describes the Blue Öyster Cult name on the cover as "only a commercial decoy" for an Albert Bouchard solo album.

The album entered the Billboard 200 album chart on August 19, 1988, peaked at No. 122, and exited the charts on October 8. It sold about 50,000 copies in the US, and was a commercial failure for Columbia Records and a financial failure for the band, which was forced through legal action to pay back the money used for both the recording of Albert Bouchard's solo album and for the re-recording of Imaginos. It was their last album to enter the Billboard charts until The Symbol Remains in 2020.

Influence
The manga Battle Angel Alita by Yukito Kishiro contains references to Imaginos. Particularly the name of the principal villain - Desty Nova - and the cyber-body of Alita, called imaginos.

In 2021, Canadian rock critic Martin Popoff released a book on the Imaginos mythos entitled Flaming Telepaths: Imaginos Expanded and Specified.

Albert Bouchard's new version
In the spring of 2020, an announcement was made on www.goldminemag.com that Albert Bouchard would be releasing Re Imaginos, his own reinvention of the concept of Imaginos, in the fall of 2020.  Bouchard eventually released 3 albums based on the concept: Re Imaginos (2020), Imaginos II - Bombs over Germany (2021), and Imaginos III - Mutant Reformation (2023).

Nyager Skole er en af seks folkeskoler i Rødovre Kommune.

Bygningen er bygget af den danske arkitekt Arne Jacobsen i 1959-64. Skolens udseende var resultat af en arkitektkonkurrence. Skolen var fra starten normeret til at rumme 1000-1100 elever og var altså en meget stor skole. Projektets bærende ide var på trods heraf at skabe et intimt og overskueligt opholdssted.

Senere er der blevet bygget til med bl.a. en indskolingsafdeling, der færdiggjordes i 2013. I 2014 blev skolegården renoveret, så den ifølge det ansvarlige arkitektfirma "levede op til bygningens ikoniske kvalitet".

Seyyid Ali Hüseyni Hamenei (Farsça: سید علی حسینی خامنه‌ای, d. 17 Temmuz 1939; Meşhed), İranlı Şii merci-i taklid ve 1989'dan beri İran'ın ikinci yüce lideri. 1981-1989 yılları arasında İran'ın üçüncü cumhurbaşkanı olarak görev yapmıştır. Hamenei, Orta Doğu'da en uzun süre görev yapan devlet başkanı ve Şah Muhammed Rıza Pehlevi'den sonra geçen yüzyılın en uzun süre görev yapan ikinci İran lideri olmuştur.

Resmi web sitesine göre Hamenei, Muhammed Rıza Pehlevi'nin saltanatı sırasında üç yıl sürgüne gönderilmeden önce altı kez tutuklandı. İran Devrimi'nin Şah'ı devirmesinden sonra, Haziran 1981'de sağ kolunu felç eden bir suikast girişiminin hedefi oldu. Hamenei, 1980'lerde İran-Irak Savaşı sırasında İran'ın liderlerinden biriydi ve şimdi kontrol ettiği ve komutanlarını kendisinin atadığı Devrim Muhafızları ile yakın ilişkiler geliştirdi. Devrim Muhafızları, ona karşı gelişen muhalefeti bastırmak için görevlendirildi. Hamenei 1981'den 1989'a kadar İran'ın üçüncü cumhurbaşkanı olarak görev yaptı ve ilk Dini Lider Ruhullah Humeyni'nin yakın müttefiki oldu. Ölümünden kısa bir süre önce Humeyni, vekil olarak seçtiği yerine gelecek olan Hüseyin Ali Muntazeri ile bir anlaşmazlık yaşadı, bu yüzden Humeyni öldüğünde halefi üzerinde anlaşmaya varılmadı. Uzmanlar Meclisi, 4 Haziran 1989'da 50 yaşındayken Hamenei'yi dini lider olarak seçti. Ekber Haşimi Rafsancani'ye göre Hamenei, Humeyni'nin ölmeden önce halefi olarak seçtiği adamdı. Hamenei, 14 Nisan 1979'dan beri Şah İsmail zamanında kurulan bir vakıf olan Astan Kuds Razavi'nin hizmetkarlarının başında bulunuyor.

Dini lider olarak Hamenei, İslam Cumhuriyeti'ndeki en güçlü siyasi otoritedir. İran devletinin başı, silahlı kuvvetlerinin başkomutanıdır ve İran'da hükûmetin ekonomi, çevre, dış politika, ulusal planlama ve benzeri birçok alanda temel politikaları hakkında kararnameler çıkarabilir ve nihai kararları alabilir. Kerim Secadpur'a göre, dini lider olarak Hamenei, hükûmetin yürütme, yasama ve yargı organlarının yanı sıra ordu ve medya üzerinde doğrudan veya dolaylı kontrole sahip. Uzmanlar Meclisi, cumhurbaşkanlığı ve İran Parlamentosu için seçilecek olan tüm adayların başvuruları, üyeleri doğrudan veya dolaylı olarak İran Dini Lideri tarafından seçilen Anayasa Koruma Konseyi tarafından incelenir. Ayrıca, Anayasa Koruma Konseyi'nin Hamenei tarafından emir verildikten sonra belirli kişilere yönelik yasağını tersine çevirdiği durumlar da oldu.

Hamenei'nin saltanatı sırasında büyük protestolar oldu; 1994 Kazvin protestoları, 1999 İran öğrenci protestoları, 2009 İran seçimleri gösterileri, 2011–2012 İran protestoları, 2017–2018 İran protestoları, 2018–2019 İran genel grevleri ve 2019-2020 İran protestoları. Gazeteciler, blogcular ve diğer kişiler İran'da dini lider Hamenei'ye hakaret suçlamasıyla, genellikle dine hakaret suçlamalarıyla bağlantılı olarak yargılandı. Cezaları arasında kamçılama ve hapis cezası vardı; bazıları ise gözaltında öldü. İran'ın nükleer programıyla ilgili olarak Hamenei, 2003 yılında her türlü kitle imha silahının üretimini, stoklanmasını ve kullanılmasını yasaklayan bir fetva yayınladı.

Gençliği ve eğitimi
Babası Ayetullah Seyyid Cevad Hüseyni Hamenei İran Azerisi annesi Hatice Mirdamadi Yezdlidir. Dini ilimleri öğrenmeye Meşhed şehrinde başladı. Daha sonra 2 yıl Necef'te, 6 yıl Kum'da okudu. Meşhed'de Ayetullah Milani'nin fıkhın harici derslerine katıldı. Daha sonralar yeniden Kum'a döndü. Burada Ayetullah Humeyni'nin fıkıh ve usul derslerine, Ayetullah Burucerdi ve Allame Tabatabai'nin felsefe derslerine katıldı. Ayetullah Burucerdi ve Ayetullah Şahrudi'nin yanında içtihada ulaştı.

Siyasi eylemleri
1963 yılında Ayetullah Ruhullah Humeyni önderliğindeki İslami Hareket'e katıldı. 1977 yılında İran Şahı Muhammed Rıza Pehlevi tarafından sürgüne gönderilmek istense de mensubu olduğu İslami Hareket'in büyümesi üzerine sürgüne gönderilmedi ve Meşhed şehrine geri döndü.

İran İslam Devrimi'nin gerçekleşmesi ve Ayetullah Humeyni'nin sürgünden dönmesi üzerine İslam İnkılabı Yüksek Şurası üyeliğine atandı. Bu görev üzerine Meşhed'den Tahran'a geldi.

1979 yılında İran Savunma Bakan Yardımcısı oldu. Aynı yıl Tahran vekili olarak İslami Şûra Meclisi'ne seçildi. 1980 yılında Humeyni tarafından İran Yüksek Savunma Şurası üyeliğine atandı.

İran-Irak Savaşı'nda görev aldı. 27 Haziran 1981 tarihinde Ebuzer Camisi'ne yapılan bombalı saldırıda ağır yaralandı.

İran Cumhurbaşkanı Muhammed Ali Recai'nin bombalı saldırı sonucunda ölmesi üzerine Ekim 1981'de yapılan cumhurbaşkanlığı seçimlerinde aday oldu ve Humeyni'nin de onayıyla 16 milyon oy alarak 3. İran Cumhurbaşkanı seçildi. 1985 yılında ikinci kez cumhurbaşkanlığına seçildi.

Ayetullah Humeyni tarafından 1986 yılında kurulan Düzenin Yararını Teşhis Konseyi'nin Başkanlığı'na getirildi.

Dini lider seçilmesi ve tepkiler
3 Haziran 1989 tarihinde Ayetullah Humeyni'nin vefat etmesi üzerine, 4 Haziran 1989 tarihinde Haşimi Rafsancani'nin tavsiyesi ile Uzmanlar Meclisi tarafından dini lider seçildi. Seçilmesine hocalarından olan eniştesi Şeyh Ali Tehrani ve Ayetullah Ali Montazeri karşı çıktı.

İnsan hakları, özgürlükler, protestolar, İslam hukuku

Eleştirmenler, Hamenei'yi dünya çapında sürgüne gönderilen 160 kadar sığınmacının öldürülmesine nezaret etmekle, protestoculara ağır baskı uygulamakla, Halkın Mücahitleri Örgütü paramiliter grubun on binlerce üyesinin öldürülmesini yönetmekle ve diğer insan hakları ihlallerinin yanı sıra İran'daki muhalif yazar ve entelektüelleri baskılayarak "özel bir hedef" haline getirmekle suçladılar. Bununla birlikte Hamenei'nin kendisi insan haklarının, Batı'nın insan hakları endişesinden yüzyıllarca önce gelen İslami öğretilerin altında yatan temel bir ilke olduğunda ısrar etmiştir. İslam Cumhuriyeti'nin hak sicilini ikiyüzlülükle eleştiren Batılı güçlere, bu ülkelerin Üçüncü Dünya ülkelerindeki insanlara ekonomik olarak baskı yaptığını ve despotları ve diktatörleri desteklediğini söyleyerek saldırdı. İslam Cumhuriyeti'nin hak sicilini ikiyüzlülükle eleştiren Batılı güçlere, bu ülkelerin Üçüncü Dünya ülkelerindeki insanlara ekonomik olarak baskı yaptığını ve despotları ve diktatörleri desteklediğini söyleyerek saldırdı. Batılıların İran'daki insan hakları ihlallerine ilişkin şikayetlerine yanıt olarak, Amerikan yönetiminin birçok suç işlediğini ve bu nedenle İslam Cumhuriyeti'ni yargılamaya yetkileri olmadığını belirtti.

Ekonomik durumu ile ilgili iddialar
Ali Hamenei'nin çeşitli şirketler aracılığı ile 95 milyar dolar değerinde bir serveti yönettiği iddia edilmektedir.

Alydar (March 23, 1975 – November 15, 1990) was an American Thoroughbred race horse and sire. A chestnut colt, he was most famous for finishing a close second to Affirmed in all three races of the 1978 Triple Crown. With each successive race, Alydar narrowed Affirmed's margin of victory; Affirmed won by 1.5 lengths in the Kentucky Derby, by a neck in the Preakness and by a head in the Belmont Stakes. Alydar has been described as the best horse in the history of Thoroughbred racing never to have won a championship. Alydar's fame continued when he got older. He died under suspicious circumstances.

Racing career
Trained by John M. Veitch (who also trained Alydar's half-sister, Eclipse Award winning Our Mims) and ridden by jockey Jorge Velásquez, in 1978 Alydar dueled with Affirmed in all three legs of the Triple Crown he lost to his arch-rival by a combined total of less than two lengths. The 1978 Belmont Stakes, the third (and final) leg of the series, is considered by many as one of the most exciting races in the history of the sport.  In that race, Alydar and Affirmed dueled side by side from the middle of the far turn all the way to the wire, with Affirmed barely holding on to win by a head to claim the Triple Crown.

In his racing career Alydar won 14 of 26 starts, finishing second 9 times and third once, and earned purses totalling $957,195. He raced against Affirmed ten times in his career, winning three.  Alydar was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1989. In the Blood-Horse magazine ranking of the top 100 U.S. thoroughbred champions of the 20th Century, Alydar was ranked #27.

At stud
Alydar was a major success as a stallion. His offspring include Hall of Fame Eclipse Award Champion Easy Goer; Alysheba, winner of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and the Breeders' Cup Classic; Kandaly, 1994 Louisiana Derby winner; Turkoman, Strike the Gold, Criminal Type, Althea, Alydaress, Benchmark, Stella Madrid, and Miss Oceana. He is also the broodmare sire of Peintre Celebre, Cat Thief, Anees, Ajina, Aly's Alley, Gio Ponti, and Lure.

Suspicious death
On November 13, 1990, Alydar appeared to have shattered his right hind leg in his stall at Calumet Farm in Lexington, Kentucky. Emergency surgery was performed the next day in an attempt to repair the injury, but the leg broke again. On November 15, Alydar was euthanized. At the time the owner of Calumet Farm was in dire trouble financially, but suspicions of foul play by the management were not raised until federal prosecutors investigated in the late 1990s.  John Thomas (J.T.) Lundy was indicted and convicted in 2000 on separate but related fraud charges—bribing a bank executive for favorable loans—and served nearly four years in prison.  The farm's former attorney, Gary Matthews, was also convicted and received a 21-month prison sentence.  The Texas Monthly described Alydar's death as "a sweeping saga of greed, fraud, and almost unimaginable cruelty that could have been lifted straight from a best-selling Dick Francis horse-racing novel." Alydar is buried at Calumet Farm.

In Houston federal court, MIT professor George Pratt testified that Alydar had to have been killed. He speculated that someone had tied the end of a rope around Alydar's leg and attached the other end of the rope to a truck that could easily have been driven into the stallion barn. The truck then took off, pulling Alydar's leg from underneath him until it snapped; he testified that the force involved was at least three times that which a horse was able to exert.  About five days before Alydar's injury his original night watchman, Harold "Cowboy" Kipp, testified that he was at work on the farm when he was ordered to take Tuesday, November 13 off.

Rivalry with Affirmed

Final: Affirmed 7, Alydar 3

*In their final meeting, Affirmed drifted in, forcing Alydar to be taken up on the backstretch. While Affirmed finished ahead of Alydar, the stewards decided to disqualify Affirmed from first to second, giving Alydar the final win.

Hawk Eye (), tenis ve kriket gibi oyunlarda topu sayısal ortamda izleyen sistemin adı.

2001 yılında Dr. Paul Hawkins tarafından geliştirilmiştir ve birçok spor karşılaşmasında TV kanalları tarafından kullanılmaktadır.

Sistem, bilgisayara bağlı saha çevresine yerleştirilmiş 8 kameradan oluşmaktadır. Bilgisayar gerçek zamanda, kameralardan aldığı bilgilerle topun 3 boyutlu trajesini ve hızını hesaplamaktadır. Daha sonra bu görüntü istenen açıdan tekrar oluşturabilmektedir. Böylece topun saha içine veya dışına çıkıp çıkmadığı daha objektif belirlenebilmektedir. Sistemin hassasiyeti 2–3 mm arasındadır.

Hawk Eye (Şahin Gözü) teknolojisi, profesyonel teniste 2006 yılının Mart ayında Miami Masters turnuvasında resmi olarak denenmiştir. Teknoloji US Open 2006'da ilk kez bir Grand Slam turnuvasında yer almıştır.

Hawk Eye teknolojisinin tenis sporunun içine girmesiyle yeni bir kural da oyuna eklenmiş oldu. Buna göre oyuncular, her sette hakemin kararına karşı üçer kez itiraz (challenge) haklarını kullanarak sonucu Hawk Eye teknolojisinin belirlemesini tercih edebilirler. Tribünlerin de görebileceği dev bir ekrana yansıtılan animasyon sonucu oyuncu haklı çıkarsa, itiraz hakkı saklı kalır.

Tarihçesi

Hawk-Eye 2000 yılında Siemens'in bir alt şirketi olan Romsey Roke Manor Research Limited tarafından İngiltere'de geliştirildi. Paul Hawkins ve David Sherry teknolojinin patenti için başvurdu, ancak daha sonra bu başvuru geri çekildi. Tüm teknoloji ve fikri mülkiyet, Winchester, Hampshire'deki Hawk-Eye Innovations Ltd adlı ayrı bir şirkete devredildi. İlk olarak Roke Manor Research ve Sunset + Vine arasında bir ortak girişim olarak kuruldu ve Hawk-Eye ilk defa Sunset + Vine, Channel 4 televizyon tarafından kriket yayınında kullanıldı.

14 Haziran 2006 tarihinde, Wisden Group'un liderliğinde ve Amerikalı zengin Mark Getty'nin de içinde bulunduğu bir yatırım grubu şirketi tarafından £4.4m'a satın alındı. Wisden'in şirketi satın almada amacı kriket yayınında varlığını güçlendirmekti. Ayrıca Hawk-Eye'ı basketbola uyarlıyarak diğer uluslararası sporlarlara da girmeği planlıyordu. Hawk-Eye'nin web sitesine göre, sistem televizyonda görünen veriden çok daha fazla veri üretmektedir.

Hawk-Eye Eylül 2010'da tekrar satışa çıkarıldı ve Mart 2011'de son olarak £15m-£ 20m'a Sony elektronik şirketine satıldı.

Rakip teknolojiler
Başlıca iki teknolojik rakibi bulunmaktadır:

Cyclops, 1980 yılından beri ATP ve WTA profesyonel tenis turlarında elektronik çizgi hakemi olarak kullanılmaktadır. Grand Slam turnuvalarında yerini Hawk-Eye almıştır.

FoxTenn'da diger bir rakip elektronik çizgi hakemi sistemidir. Toprak saha da dahil olmak üzere anlık verileri kullanarak topun trajesini takip ederek yerle temas ettiği noktayı belirleyebilmektedir.

جاويدان هانم أو ماريانا ماى توروك هون زندرو (1877 - 1968)، كونتيسة نمساوية وزوجة الخديوي عباس حلمي الثاني. ولدت في فيلادلفيا، وتزوجت من الخديوي عباس حلمي الثاني في 1 مارس 1910 لتصبح الزوجة الثانية له وغيرت اسمها بعد الزواج إلى جاويدان هانم، كما اعتنقت الإسلام. ولم يدم زواجهما طويلا حيث تم الطلاق في عام 1913 وعملت بعد الطلاق فترة في التمثيل.

كتبت مذكراتها فيما بعد عن فترة إقامتها في مصر، وقد سجّلت تلك المذكرات الحياة داخل القصور المصرية وعادات أفراد الطبقة العليا واحتفالاتهم. ورسمت جويدان صورة إيجابية إنسانية عن الخديوي عباس حلمي الثاني، كما أنها حكت بعض المواقف الطريفة عن اضطرارها إلى التنكر في زي رجل لمصاحبة زوجها في الزيارات الرسمية حيث أن التقاليد وقتها كانت تمنع ظهور زوجة الحاكم في مثل تلك المناسبات. كما أنها وصفت تفاصيل حياة الحريم في الحرملك منتقدة بشدة العزل الذي كانت النساء الشرقيات يعيشونه في عصرها، وهاجمت حجاب المرأة في ذلك العصر .

Boiadeira Internacional (também conhecido como Boiadeira Internacional (Ao Vivo)) é o álbum de estreia da cantora e compositora brasileira Ana Castela que tem previsão de lançamento para 2023. Foi gravado em 10 de maio de 2023 durante a Fespop, festival de música que recebe mais de 70 mil pessoas, localizado na tríplice fronteira, principal fronteira da América do Sul entre Brasil, Argentina e Paraguai, da cidade de Santa Terezinha do Itaipu, no Paraná. Conta com as participações especiais de Simone Mendes, Matheus & Kauan, Gustavo Mioto, Alok, Hungria Hip Hop e Luan Pereira.

Em dezembro de 2022, junto ao lançamento do single "Dona de Mim", foi revelado o lançamento de seu álbum de estreia para o próximo ano. Em abril de 2023, foi anunciada a gravação do álbum Boiadeira Internacional com um teaser em português e espanhol.

Lançamento e promoção
Em julho de 2023, o single "Solteiro Forçado" foi lançado como o primeiro. No dia de estreia, o videoclipe, lançado no YouTube, teve mais de 2,346 milhões de visualizações e alcançou o top 1 em "Vídeos em alta." A canção se tornou o melhor lançamento de Castela, não apenas no YouTube, mas também em várias outras plataformas digitais, até então. No mês seguinte, o segundo single, "Não Vai Ver Nunca", parceria com Simone Mendes, foi disponibilizado e, duas semanas depois, o terceiro, "Tô Voltando", também, mas junto á primeira parte, que soma as três canções junto à performance ao vivo de "Pipoco", do álbum. Em outubro, foi anunciado, por meio das redes sociais da cantora, o lançamento da segunda parte.

Boiadeira Internacional, Vol. 1

Em 24 de agosto de 2023, foi lançada, em formato de EP, a primeira parte do álbum. Esta contém as faixas "Solteiro Forçado", "Não Vai Ver Nunca" (parceria com Simone Mendes), "Tô Voltando" e a versão ao vivo da canção "Pipoco", lançada primeiro em parceria com Melody.

Boiadeira Internacional, Vol. 2

Quase dois meses depois, em 13 de outubro de 2023, houve o lançamento da segunda parte do projeto, também em formato de extended play. As faixas contidas são "Alerta de Golpe", "Só Não Deixa Saudade", "Aqui Tem Alguém", "Chicletinho" e uma regravação de "As Menina da Pecuária".

Gravação
O álbum foi gravado em maio de 2023 com 20 canções no total, incluindo algumas já lançadas por Castela: "Pipoco", "Nosso Quadro", "Boiadeira" e "As Menina da  Pecuária", e o seu verso em "Vão Ser Bão Pra Lá", segundo single do projeto Fazendinha Sessions. Fiel ao estilo cowgirl, os figurinos, que foram feitos pelo estilista Eduardo Amarante e usados durante o evento, chamaram muito atenção nas redes sociais. Mesmo com problemas de letra, música e frio, a intérprete encarou tudo com bom humor e seu ânimo ficou visível durante toda a sua apresentação. No final do show, a Boiadeira aproveitou para agradecer ao público e emocionou-se com a gravação de seu projeto.

Cavalo gigante e inspiração em Katy Perry ou Beyoncé
Na performance de "Tô Voltando", música de encerramento, Castela movimenta a internet ao apresentar-se vestida toda de branco em cima de um cavalo prateado de 5 metros feito de tubo de aço de carbono com acabamento em isopor e fibra de vidro, idealizado pela Mode Criativeo. Notou-se uma possível inspiração na apresentação da cantora estadunidense Katy Perry no intervalo do Super Bowl em 2015, no qual a norte-americana cantou seu single "Roar" em cima de um tigre gigante e na turnê Renaissance da cantora Beyoncé, onde esta também usa um cavalo, para a produção do objeto usado na apresentação de Ana.

Turnê
Em 19 de maio de 2023, a cantora anunciou sua primeira turnê internacional, que teve três apresentações em Portugal, nas cidades de Coimbra (feita em 24 de maio),  Lisboa (feita em 26 de maio) e Porto (feita em 27 de maio), sendo que a última também foi transmitida no canal oficial da gravadora AgroPlay.

Lista de faixas
Nota: Nem todas as 20 canções foram anunciadas; A ordem da primeira lista não é a oficial.

Absența congenitală a glandei suprarenale este o afecțiune rară în care glanda suprarenală lipsește la naștere.  Nu trebuie confundată cu insuficiența suprarenală sau hiperplazia suprarenală congenitală, unde glanda este prezentă, dar poate să nu funcționează adecvat.

Datorită absenței cortexului suprarenal, afecțiunea provoacă simptome extreme de insuficiență suprarenală la naștere din cauza nivelurilor foarte scăzute de aldosteron și cortizol. Medula suprarenală poate fi prezentă în mod normal, slab formată sau absentă, cu toate acestea efectele deficitului de cateolamină circulantă sunt în general ușoare (datorită compensării sistemului nervos simpatic ), cu excepția episoadelor de hipoglicemie .

Genetică
Gena SF-1 joacă un rol important în dezvoltarea glandei suprarenale. Polimorfismul cu o singură genă care implică gena SF-1 poate avea un rol în ageneza glandelor suprarenale.  Au fost identificați și alți factori.

Den 25. december 2016 styrtede en russisk Tupolev Tu-154 ned i Sortehavet kort efter start i den internationale lufthavn i Sotji i Rusland på vej mod den russiske flybase Hmeimim i Syrien. Alle 92 om bord omkom. Flyet var ejet af det russiske forsvarsministerium.

Flyet
Det nedstyrtede fly var af typen Tupolev 154B-2, med registreringsnummer RA-85572, 83A-572, der havde været i drift siden 1983, og havde fløjet 6.689 timer.

Styrt

Flyet styrtede ned kort efter start fra Sotjis internationale lufthavn i Rusland på ved den russiske militærbase Hmeimim i Syrien. Flyet lettede med 92 personer om bord kl. 05:27 lokal tid ( UTC) fra byen Sotji ved Sortehavet med ruten til Syrien. Flyet styrtede ned 1,5 km fra kysten. Vragdele er fundet på en dybde mellem 50 og 70 meter. Alle 92 ombord omkom. Der er foreløbig bjærget 10 omkomne.

Passagerer og besætning
Blandt de 92 ombord var 64 medlemmer af det russiske militærkor Aleksandrov-ensemblet, herunder dets dirigent Valerij Khalilov. Medlemmerne af koret rejste fra Moskva til den russiske militærbase i Syrien for at tage del i fejringen af nytåret.

Blandt passagererne var endvidere den russiske humanitære hjælpearbejder Jelizaveta Glinka, direktøren for forsvarsministeriets kulturdepartement Anton Gubankov, otte militærfolk, ni journalister og to civile embedsfolk.

Undersøgelser
Umiddelbart efter styrtet iværksatte den russiske undersøgelseskommission en efterforskning for at finde frem til årsagerne til styrtet.

Russiske embedsmænd har nedtonet muligheden af et terrorangreb som årsag til styrtet og har i stedet fokuseret på mulighederne for en menneskelig eller mekanisk fejl.

Et lysglimt opfanget af overvågnings-tv ved kysten i Sotji har sat gang i spekulationer om en eksplosion i luften eller da flyet ramte vandoverfladen.

Det russiske forsvarsministerium oplyste den 29. december 2016, at styrtet ikke skyldtes en eksplosion eller en brand. Efter at have gennemgået flyet sorte bokse koncentrerer efterforskningen sig om flyets flaps, der tilsyneladende ikke fungerede korrekt, hvorefter flyet blev bragt i en kritisk vinkel. Flaps kan udsættes i forskellige vinkler, jo mere flaps, jo større opdrift. Flapsene på begge vinger bevæges normalt synkront - hvis ikke vil den ene vinge give større opdrift og flyet vil krænge.

Jan Ladislav Dussek (baptized Jan Václav Dusík, with surname also written as Duschek or Düssek; 12 February 176020 March 1812) was a Czech classical composer and virtuoso pianist. He was an important representative of Czech music abroad in the second half of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. Some of his more forward-looking piano works have traits often associated with Romanticism.

Dussek was one of the first piano virtuosos to travel widely throughout Europe. He performed at courts and concert venues from London to Saint Petersburg to Milan, and was celebrated for his technical prowess. During a nearly ten-year stay in London, he was instrumental in extending the size of the pianoforte, and was the recipient of one of John Broadwood's first 6-octave pianos, CC-c4. Harold Schonberg wrote that he was the first pianist to sit at the piano with his profile to the audience, earning him the appellation "le beau visage." All subsequent pianists have sat on stage in this manner. He was one of the best-regarded pianists in Europe before Beethoven's rise to prominence.

His music is marked by lyricism interrupted by sudden dynamic contrasts. As well as his many compositions for the piano, he also composed for the harp: his music for that instrument contains a great variety of figuration within a largely diatonic harmony, avoids dangerous chromatic passages and is eminently playable. His concerto writing is exciting. His music is considered standard repertoire for all harpists, particularly his Six Sonatas/Sonatinas and especially the Sonata in C minor. Less well known to the general public than that of his more renowned Classical period contemporaries, his piano music is highly valued by many teachers and not infrequently programmed. Franz Liszt has been called an indirect successor of Dussek in the composition and performance of virtuoso piano music. His music remained popular to some degree in 19th-century Great Britain and the USA, some still in print, with more available in period editions online.

Life

Early years
The Dussek family had a long history as professional musicians, starting at least as early as Jan Ladislav's grandfather Jan Josef Dusík (b. 1712), and lasting in the Moravian branch of the family at least into the 1970s. Jan Ladislav's mother, Veronika Dusíková (née Štěbetová), played the harp, an instrument, along with the piano, for which her son went on to write much music. His father, Jan Josef, was also a well-known organist and composer. His sister, Katerina Veronika Anna Dusíkova, was also a musician and composer.

Jan Ladislav, the oldest of three children, was born on 12 February 1760 in the Bohemian town of Čáslav, where his father taught and played the organ. His first musical instruction came from his father, who began teaching him piano at 5, and organ at age 9. His voice was also found to be good, so he also sang in the church choir.

He studied music at the Jesuit gymnasium in Jihlava, where he studied with Ladislav Špinar, its choir director; his grades were reported to be poor. From 1774 to 1776 he studied at the Jesuit gymnasium in Kutná Hora, where he also served as organist in the Santa Barbara Jesuit church. In 1776 he went to the New City Gymnasium in Prague, where he was again reported to be a lazy student. In 1777 he enrolled in the University of Prague, where he lasted one semester.

Netherlands and Hamburg
After these early studies in Bohemia he entered the services of one Captain Männer, an Austrian military man, in 1778. Dussek traveled with the Captain to what has since become Belgium in 1779, where he became the organist at the St. Rumbold's cathedral in Mechelen. In Mechelen he gave his first public recital, playing his own compositions. He then travelled to the Dutch Republic, where a well-received concert in Amsterdam brought him to the royalty's attention. He was invited to The Hague, where he gave lessons to the three children of Stadtholder William V. While at the Hague he gave a performance before Kaiser Joseph II of Austria, who acknowledged Dussek's prowess.

By 1782, after leaving Männer's service, he was in Hamburg, where he gave a concert on the "new English fortepiano". While in Hamburg, he may have studied with C. P. E. Bach. He also published his first works, three piano concertos and 3 violin sonatas (C 2–7), all of which were assigned Opus 1.

Eastern and Central Europe
From Hamburg he moved to St. Petersburg, where he was a favorite of Catherine the Great. While there he was introduced to a technician named Hessel, who had developed a keyboard version of the glass harmonica, an instrument Dussek went on to master. Dussek was forced to leave Russia quite abruptly, just ahead of Catherine's secret police, amid suspicions of his involvement in a plot to assassinate Catherine. In a possibly apocryphal tale surrounding his departure, he was en route to play for Catherine when he found a ring, which he put on. Catherine recognized the ring as belonging to a known conspirator, raising her suspicions about Dussek.

After Dussek left St. Petersburg, he took a position as music director for Prince Antoni Radziwiłł in Lithuania, where he stayed about a year. His departure from Lithuania may have been prompted by an affair he was rumored to have with the Prince's wife, the Princess of Thurn und Taxis. He toured Germany for the next few years as a virtuoso performer on the piano and on the glass harmonica, eventually arriving in Paris in 1786. The German tour was a significant success for him. One review of a Berlin concert said, "He obtained great distinction as a pianist, and was little less admired for his playing on the [glass] harmonica ... some critics pretend to trace to his skill upon this instrument many of his specialities of style both as a pianist and composer". Another reviewer wrote, of a concert in Kassel, "He entranced all listeners with a slow, harmonic, and studiously modulated prelude and chorale." He may also have been in Ludwigslust in 1786, where he would have performed his Extract from an Easter Canata (C 26) for the Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.

France and Italy
In Paris Dussek became a favorite of Marie Antoinette, who tried to dissuade him from going on a performing tour to Milan in 1788. However, she was unsuccessful, as Dussek wanted to visit his brother Franz in Milan. Dussek's trip to Milan was quite successful; his performances "produce[d] quite a sensation". He returned to Paris, where he stayed until shortly before the outbreak of the Revolution in 1789. During his time in Paris he may have met and played with a violinist by the name of Napoleon Bonaparte. He also published a series of violin sonatas (C 27–29) dedicated to Eugénie de Beaumarchais, daughter of writer Pierre Beaumarchais.

London

Dussek left France for England in May or June 1789, where he settled in London. It is sometimes alleged that he took with him the harpist wife of the composer Jean-Baptiste Krumpholtz, who drowned himself in the Seine as a consequence; however, this is likely untrue, as Anne-Marie Krumpholtz went to London in 1788. It is also uncertain whether he left Paris because of the looming crisis in France, or if it was merely coincidental. Early biographers have generally claimed that he left because of the impending revolution. He is reported to have had a concert engagement in London in early June 1789; this would have required his departure from Paris before some of the critical steps early in the Revolution.

Dussek made London his home until 1799. By 1790 he was well established as a performer and teacher. He was in such demand that Davison, in an 1860 biographic sketch, noted that "he became one of the most fashionable professors of the day, and his lessons were both sought with avidity and remunerated at a rate of payment which knew no precedent except in the instance of John Cramer." He had also established a relationship with pianomaker John Broadwood, taking delivery of one of the first 5½ octave pianos (FF-c4): Broadwood noted in his business journal for 13 November 1793: "We have made some 5 ½ octave grands these three years past, the first to please Dussek, which being liked, Cramer junior had one". His collaboration with Broadwood would continue to bear fruit when, in 1794, he also received the first 6-octave (CC-c4) piano

In the spring of 1791, Dussek appeared in a series of concerts, a number of which featured Sophia, the young daughter of music publisher Domenico Corri. In a concert on 15 June that year, the pair played a piano duet together; they were married in September 1792. Sophia Corri was a singer, pianist, and harpist who became known in her own right. They had a daughter, Olivia, but the marriage was not happy, involving liaisons by both parties.

Some of the concerts in 1791 and 1792 featured both Dussek and Joseph Haydn; the older Haydn wrote quite favorably of Dussek in a letter to the latter's father following one of the 1792 concerts. The other highlights of 1792 (above and beyond his marriage to Sophia) included the beginning of a music publishing venture with Sophia's father Domenico. This business, while successful at first, fared poorly in later years, and the circumstances of its failure spurred Dussek to leave London in 1799, leaving Corri in debtors' prison.

Dussek's business acumen apparently had little impact on his performing and composing while in London. Every year, he performed in a series of concerts, at least some of which also featured Sophia, and which frequently featured new works. Some works were so successful they were repeated at later concerts in the series. Of one work, a reviewer wrote in 1798, "Dussek's Military Concerto was repeated. We think it very deserving of encomium." The concerto (C 153), which the reviewer reported as having been a repeat performance, was played again the following week.

In 1796, Dussek and his wife began having serious marital troubles. In an account of uncertain veracity, it was reported that Sophia, who had fallen in love with another man, asked Dussek for money to repair her harp. She then used the money to leave the house, removing her belongings in her harp case, and claiming to have left for dinner with a female friend. A suspicious Dussek went with his father-in-law to the man's house, where Sophia locked herself in. She and Dussek argued, and she cursed him, claiming to be pregnant by the other man. Dussek, relenting, promised her freedom to do what she wanted; this led to a reconciliation of sorts. It seems unlikely that Dussek ever saw Sophia and his daughter Olivia after he left London in 1799; Sophia had to wait until she knew Dussek had died before she could remarry, which she did in 1812.

Some of Dussek's compositions included arrangements of operatic and theatrical overtures for piano. He decided to try his hand at opera in 1798; the result was The Captive of Spilberg, with a libretto by Prince Hoare. The opera opened at Drury Lane on 14 November 1798, and the music was well received, with the European Magazine's critic writing, "the music, by Mr. Dussek, was such as to intitle him to rank with the first composers of the time."

Business failure
In 1799, the business venture with Corri, which had never been very successful, ran into financial difficulties. Dussek and Corri managed to convince the librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte to lend them money to cover their debts. The failure to repay this debt put Corri into Newgate Prison and caused Dussek to flee. Da Ponte believed that Dussek fled to Paris; in fact he returned to Hamburg. The affair ended up bankrupting both Corri and Da Ponte.

Dussek then toured Germany, where he became one of the first "glamour" pianists, preceding Franz Liszt. According to Louis Spohr, Dussek was the first to turn the piano sideways on the stage "so that the ladies could admire his handsome profile." Before long he took up a position with Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia, who treated him more as a friend and colleague than as an employee. Together, they sometimes enjoyed what were called "musical orgies." When Prince Louis Ferdinand was killed in the Battle of Saalfeld, Dussek wrote the moving Sonata in F sharp minor, Elégie harmonique, Op. 61 (C 211).

Later years
In 1807, despite his earlier affiliation with Marie Antoinette, Dussek returned to Paris in the employ of Talleyrand, the powerful French foreign minister.  Having no doubt made the acquaintance of Sébastien Érard in London, he became closely associated with the Érard brothers' piano-making activities, signing an Érard grand piano of 1808 still to be seen at Talleyrand's château at Valençay, and giving the first public performance on their new stirrup-action grand in 1810. He wrote a powerful sonata (Sonata in A flat major, Op. 64, C 221) called Le Retour à Paris (The Return to Paris). This imposing sonata also received the nickname Plus Ultra in heated response to a piano sonata by Joseph Woelfl, said to be the last word in pianistic difficulties, entitled Non Plus Ultra. The remainder of his life he spent performing, teaching and composing in Prussia and France. His personal beauty had faded and he became grossly fat. He also developed a fondness for strong drink which probably hastened his death. Dussek died of gout on 20 March 1812, in Saint-Germain-en-Laye.

Style
Dussek was a predecessor of the Romantic composers for piano, especially Chopin, Schumann and Mendelssohn. Many of his works are strikingly at odds with the prevailing late Classical style of other composers of the time like Beethoven, Hummel, and Schubert.  The evolution of style found in Dussek's piano writing suggests he pursued an independent line of development, one that anticipated but did not influence early Romanticism.

His more notable works include several large-scale solo piano pieces, piano sonatas, many piano concertos, sonatas for violin and piano, a musical drama, and various works of chamber music, including a Trio for piano, horn and violin, and the highly unusual sonata for piano, violin, cello and percussion entitled The Naval Battle and Total Defeat of the Dutch by Admiral Duncan (1797, C 152), which is an extremely rare example of pre-20th-century chamber music that includes percussion.

Solo piano works

Dussek was one of a number of foreign-born composers, including Muzio Clementi and John Field, who contributed significantly to the development of a distinct "London" school of pianoforte composition. In part, this was due to the particular nature of piano manufacture in England. Joseph Haydn, for instance, composed his famous E-flat sonata after playing a piano of greater range lent to him by Dussek. Much of Dussek's piano writing drew upon the more modulable and powerful tonal qualities and greater keyboard range of English-manufactured pianofortes. The enhanced possibilities offered by the instrument help explain some of his stylistic innovations.

Dussek wrote numerous solo piano works, including 34 Piano Sonatas as well as a number of programmatic compositions. His The Sufferings of the Queen of France (composed in 1793, C 98), for example, is an episodic account of Marie Antoinette with interpolated texts relating to the Queen's misfortunes, including her sorrow at being separated from her children and her final moments on the scaffold before the guillotine.

Along with Clementi, Dussek may have been a source of stylistic inspiration and influence for Beethoven, whose expansion upon the idiomatic innovations of the London school led to their rapid penumbration with the appearance of Beethoven's own keyboard works. Stylistic, melodic, dynamic and even structural similarities have been observed, for instance, between Beethoven's Sonata Opus 10, No. 3 and Dussek's Sonatas Opus 31, No. 2 and Opus 35, No. 2. Similarly, the opening of Beethoven's Sonata Opus 10, No. 1 quotes directly Dussek's Sonata Opus 39, No. 3 (see image).

It is also possible that Dussek's influence can be seen in Beethoven's famous Sonata Opus 81a, les Adieux: "both the program and the realization owed a great deal to Dussek's The Farewell, Opus 44."

Piano concertos

Dussek composed a number of piano concertos between 1779 and 1810, eighteen of which survive. Dussek introduced one noteworthy stylistic innovation to the piano concerto form. In variance with the prevailing classical concerto style, exemplified by Mozart's piano concertos, Dussek eliminated the soloist cadenza in the opening movement in all of his concertos written after 1792. Other individual characteristics are also noteworthy. His Concerto in C major, Op. 29, published in 1795, starts with an introductory Larghetto in 3/8 time, a solemn thematic declamation that is unique to the classical concerto. His last surviving work in the genre, Opus 70 in E-flat major, was one of the first to lengthen substantially the opening movement: at 570 measures long, it is roughly a third longer than his previous contributions, and foreshadows the practice of a dominant opening movement in concerto writing, found, for example, in the concertos of Chopin and the two minor concerti Opus 85 and Opus 89 by Johann Nepomuk Hummel as well as Beethoven's fifth.

Innovations to the piano
Apart from his own music, Dussek is important in the history of music because of his friendship with John Broadwood, the developer of the "English Action" piano. Because his own music demanded strength and range not available in the then current pianos, he pushed Broadwood into several extensions of the range and sonority of the instrument. It was a Broadwood instrument with Dussek's improvements that was sent to Beethoven.

Dussek was also the first composer to write indications for using piano pedals.

Works list

The vast majority of Dussek's music involves the piano or harp in some way. He wrote 35 sonatas for piano and 11 for piano duet, as well as numerous other works for both configurations. His chamber music output includes 65 violin sonatas, 24 piano (or harp) trios, and a variety of works for harp, harp or piano, or harp and piano. Some sonatas had trio parts added by J. B. Cramer. Orchestral works were limited to concertos, including 16 for piano (one of them had lost and two of them are remained dubious attribution), six for harp (three of them lost), and one for two pianos. He wrote a modest number of vocal works, include 12 songs, a cantata, a mass, and one opera, The Captive of Spilberg. His compositions also included arrangements of other works, especially opera overtures, for piano.

Cataloging Dussek's compositions has a history of its own. Dussek's oeuvre has historically been difficult to organize, due in part to the number of publishers who originally published his work, and to the fact that some of his works were published by more than one publisher. Some works published by multiple publishers were assigned different opus numbers; sometimes different works were given then same opus number by different publishers. Dussek further complicated this by arranging works for different instrument combinations.

The Artaria Company published a thematic catalog of his works that is incomplete, prompting Howard Craw to develop a new thematic catalog in 1964. Works are numbered in the order they were written prefixed by "C" or "Craw"; works of dubious origin are listed in a separately numbered section prefixed by "Craw D".

Mr. Robinson Crusoe é um filme americano pre-code de 1932.

É um dos poucos filmes falados estrelados por Douglas Fairbanks Sr., em seu penúltimo papel no cinema; Fairbanks também produziu o filme e forneceu a história durante a Grande Depressão. O filme foi dirigido por A. Edward Sutherland, um veterano diretor de cinema mudo, para a Elton Productions de Fairbanks, e lançado pela United Artists. Steve Drexel (interpretado por Fairbanks) mostra um otimismo ardente e espírito de poder que combina com a persona de tela de Fairbanks que aparece em seus filmes mais populares.

A aventura de comédia dos Mares do Sul apresentou filmagens em locações no Taiti  com títulos de trabalho sendo Tropical Knight, A Modern Robinson Crusoe e Robinson Crusoe of the South Seas.

Elenco

Enredo
O filme abre com um cartão de título que diz: "Desde que Adão e Eva foram banidos do Jardim do Éden, o homem procurou em vão encontrar consolo, conforto e prazeres terrenos em um mundo artificial de sua própria criação. vem aquela herança eterna do desejo de todo homem de dar as costas à chamada civilização, de voltar à natureza e deleitar-se com as glórias e a liberdade de um paraíso primitivo."

O personagem de Fairbanks, Steve Drexel, voluntariamente se isola em uma ilha deserta em uma aposta. Ele pretende recriar a civilização (na forma de Nova York) e esculpir uma casa confortável, completa com uma placa dizendo 52nd Street e Park Avenue fora da selva. Drexel é acompanhado por seu cachorro e faz amizade com um macaco nativo, um papagaio e uma cabra selvagem que é capturada em uma de suas armadilhas. Ele tenta cultivar um nativo "caçador de cabeças" como seu Man Friday de Robinson Crusoe , mas falha quando o nativo escapa.

Uma mulher interpretada pela atriz Maria Alba foge de um casamento que não quer em uma ilha vizinha e fica presa em um de seus aparelhos. Ele a chama de sábado e ela se torna o interesse amoroso do filme. Na tentativa de se comunicar com o sábado, ele tenta alemão, espanhol e, em seguida, Pig Latin. Ao longo do filme, ela lentamente aprende inglês rudimentar.

Eventualmente, os nativos de uma ilha próxima atacam o assentamento de Fairbanks a mando dos homens que apostaram contra o personagem principal. O herói derrota os nativos hostis assim que seus amigos chegam e ele ganha a aposta. Coincidentemente com sua chegada, um grupo de guerra separado de nativos (chamados de caçadores de cabeças) chega e ataca. Steve Drexel os distrai enquanto seus amigos salvam seus animais e vão para o iate. Após uma perseguição angustiante, ele acaba fugindo com seus amigos, animais e a garota Sábado no iate que o trouxe até lá. Ele a leva de volta a Nova York, onde ela se apresenta para uma multidão apreciativa no Ziegfeld Follies.
