David Walter Foster  (born November 1, 1949) is a Canadian musician, composer, arranger, record producer and music executive who chaired Verve Records from 2012 to 2016. He has won 16 Grammy Awards from 47 nominations. His music career spans more than five decades, beginning in the early 1970s as a keyboardist for the pop group Skylark, before focusing largely on composing and producing.

Early life and career
Foster was born in Victoria, British Columbia, the son of Maurice "Maury" Foster, an office worker, and Eleanor May Foster (née Vantreight), a homemaker. In 1963, at the age of 13, he enrolled in the University of Washington music program. In 1965, he auditioned to lead the band in an Edmonton nightclub owned by jazz musician Tommy Banks. Banks mentored Foster in jazz, producing records, and the music business. After one year there, he moved to Toronto to play with Ronnie Hawkins. In 1966, he joined a backup band for Chuck Berry. In 1974, he moved to Los Angeles with his band Skylark.

Career

Early years
Foster was a keyboardist for the pop group Skylark, discovered by Eirik Wangberg. The song "Wildflower" was a top ten hit in 1973. When the group disbanded, Foster remained in Los Angeles and, together with Jay Graydon, he formed the band Airplay. In 1975, Foster played on George Harrison's album Extra Texture. He followed that up a year later by playing the Fender Rhodes and clavinet on Harrison's album Thirty Three & 1/3. In 1976, Foster joined Guthrie Thomas on Thomas' second Capitol Records album, Lies and Alibis, with Ringo Starr and a host of other performers. Foster was a major contributor to the 1979 Earth, Wind & Fire album I Am, as a studio player and arranger. He was a co-writer on six of the album's tracks, such as "After the Love Has Gone", for which he and his co-writers, Graydon and Bill Champlin, won the 1980 Grammy Award for Best R&B Song.

1981–1999
Foster worked as a producer on albums for The Tubes: 1981's The Completion Backward Principle and 1983's Outside Inside. Foster co-wrote such songs as "Talk to Ya Later", with Tubes singer Fee Waybill and Steve Lukather from Toto; the Top 40 hit "Don't Want to Wait Anymore"; and the number 10 US hit "She's a Beauty". On the 1980 Boz Scaggs album Middle Man, he co-wrote and he played keyboard on some of Scaggs's most successful songs, including "Breakdown Dead Ahead", "Jojo", and "Simone", followed by "Look What You've Done to Me" from the film Urban Cowboy.

Foster was a major contributor to the career of jazz rock band Chicago in the early and middle 1980s, having worked as the band's producer on Chicago 16 (1982), Chicago 17 (1984 - their biggest selling, multi-platinum album), and Chicago 18 (1986). As was typical of his producing projects from this period, Foster was a co-writer on "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" (US No. 1), "Love Me Tomorrow" (US No. 22), "Stay the Night" (US No. 16), and "You're the Inspiration" (US No. 3). These were co-written with the band's bassist Peter Cetera. In 1986, Foster also helped Cetera co-write (along with Cetera's wife Diane Nini) his US No. 1 solo hit "Glory of Love".

Foster co-wrote Kenny Loggins's songs "Heart to Heart" (US No. 15), from the 1982 album High Adventure, and "Forever" (US No. 40), from the 1985 album Vox Humana.

Foster worked with country singer Kenny Rogers on the hit albums What About Me? (1984) and The Heart of the Matter (1985). The latter features "The Best of Me", co-written with Richard Marx that was covered by Cliff Richard in 1989, resulting in a number-two UK hit.

In 1985, Rolling Stone magazine named Foster the "master of . . . bombastic pop kitsch". That year, Foster composed the score for the film St. Elmo's Fire, including the instrumental "Love Theme from St. Elmo's Fire", which hit No. 15 on the US pop charts. Another song from the film, "St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)", recorded by John Parr, reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 7, 1985.

In 1985, Foster also co-wrote and produced "Tears Are Not Enough", which reached top 15 status. The album was recorded by a group of fellow Canadian artists including Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, and  Bryan Adams.

Foster continued turning out occasional film scores, including the Michael J. Fox comedy The Secret of My Success (1987), which featured a song co-written by Foster titled "The Price of Love", a version of which was performed by Roger Daltrey on his album Can't Wait to See the Movie, which Foster also produced. Foster wrote the score for the Jodie Foster-Mark Harmon film Stealing Home (1988). Both films spawned soundtrack albums with Foster's prominent contributions.

Foster composed "Winter Games", the instrumental theme song for the 1988 Winter Olympics and performed "Winter Games" and its vocal version "Can't You Feel It?" in Calgary, Alberta. "Winter Games" is the soundtrack for fountain shows at the Bellagio resort in Las Vegas.

Foster collaborated with then-wife Linda Thompson on the song "I Have Nothing", sung by Whitney Houston in the 1992 film The Bodyguard. The couple appeared in the film's Oscars scene as the conductor and an Academy member.

In 1995, Foster signed a deal with Warner Brothers for his own boutique label, 143 Records, as a joint venture with Warner. Foster gave responsibility for running the label to then-manager Brian Avnet. One of the label's first signings was a then-little known Irish folk-rock band, the Corrs, whose debut album he produced. By 1997, Foster decided that, in the American market at least, "logo labels" like 143 were in a "bad spot", so he sold the label back to Warner and became a senior vice president at the corporation. Foster and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds composed "The Power of the Dream", the official song of the 1996 Summer Olympics. Foster produced the Diane Warren songs "Un-Break My Heart" sung by Toni Braxton, "Because You Loved Me" sung by Celine Dion, and "Have You Ever?" sung by Brandy.

2000s
Foster produced major-label debut albums for Josh Groban (2001), Michael Bublé (2003), Renee Olstead (2004), and Charice (2010), which were released under his 143 Records.

In 2001, Foster collaborated with Lara Fabian and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra to record English-language, French-language, and bilingual versions of the Canadian national anthem, "O Canada", for a promotion of the Canadian government. Foster, with his then-wife Linda Thompson, composed "Light the Fire Within", sung by LeAnn Rimes for the 2002 Winter Olympics. In 2003, Foster won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Music and Lyrics for The Concert for World Children's Day. His song, "I Will Be There With You" (sung with Katharine McPhee), has been used by Japan Airlines to promote the introduction of new aircraft for its US flights.

The 2001 film The Score, starring Robert De Niro and Marlon Brando, features a Diana Krall recording, "I'll Make it Up as I Go". The song was composed by Foster together with his daughter Amy Foster-Gillies.

In 2005, Foster, his daughter Amy Foster-Gillies, and Beyoncé wrote "Stand Up For Love" as the anthem to the World Children's Day, an annual worldwide event to raise awareness and funds for children's causes. Over the years, more than $50 million has been raised to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities and other children's organizations.

In 2008, Foster held a one-night concert called Hitman: David Foster & Friends at the Mandalay Bay resort in Las Vegas featuring Foster presiding center stage at the keyboard, Andrea Bocelli, Michael Bublé, Josh Groban, Peter Cetera, Katharine McPhee, Celine Dion, Blake Shelton, Brian McKnight, and Charice.

In 2009, it was revealed by songwriter Diane Warren that she had worked with Foster to produce tracks for Whitney Houston's upcoming album and the singer's comeback single would be the Foster-produced "I Didn't Know My Own Strength".

2010s
On May 30, 2011 Foster teamed with young singer Jackie Evancho  in her Dream With Me Concert on PBS at the Ringling Brothers Museum in Sarasota Fl.
On December 15, 2011, it was confirmed that Foster would become the Chairman of Verve Music Group.

In 2013, Foster produced Mary J. Blige's first Christmas album A Mary Christmas released October 15 of that year. The album includes 12 classics such as swing-styled "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer". It features artists Marc Anthony, Jessie J, The Clark Sisters, Barbra Streisand, and Chris Botti. Foster produced Andrea Bocelli's album, Passione, released in January 2013. The album is a collection of Mediterranean love songs featuring duets with Jennifer Lopez, Nelly Furtado, and a virtual duet with Edith Piaf.

Foster produced an album with Bryan Adams titled Tracks of My Years released in 2014.

Foster left Verve in 2016 in a label reorganization.

As of 2018, he was writing a musical with Jewel, based on Amy Bloom's novel Lucky Us.

2020s
He has composed a musical about Betty Boop, with lyrics by Susan Birkenhead and a book by Bob Martin. BOOP! The Musical is scheduled for a pre-Broadway debut in fall 2023 at Chicago's CIBC Theatre.

Television appearances
In 1992, Foster went to Indonesia to record the TV show David Foster's Twilight Orchestra on the national television station RCTI. In early 2001, Foster appeared in Popstars, a WB reality series aimed at coming up with the next girl group. The result was Eden's Crush (featuring Nicole Scherzinger). Foster and Linda Thompson wrote and produced several songs on their album.

In 2005, his and Linda Thompson's home life was featured in a "staged" reality television show, The Princes of Malibu, on Fox. The premise was Foster attempting to teach his spoiled stepsons, Brandon and Brody Jenner—the children of Thompson and Olympian Caitlyn Jenner—to straighten their lives up and earn their own way.

In late April 2006, he appeared as a guest mentor on American Idol and as a guest judge on Nashville Star. In 2006, he was a judge on the FOX TV show Celebrity Duets and appeared on Star Tomorrow, for which auditions were held in Los Angeles and New York for undiscovered talent.

In July 2006, Foster made a brief appearance on The View as Star Jones's vocal coach. In August 2006, he was the musical director for JCPenney Jam's The Concert For American Kids. Also in 2006, Foster was featured in Under the Desert Sky, Andrea Bocceli's live album and DVD of a pop concert held in Las Vegas. In 2007, Foster was featured in Bocelli's Vivere Live in Tuscany, a live album and DVD of a pop concert performed at Bocelli's Teatro del Silenzio in Lajatico, Tuscany in July. In November 2007, Foster appeared in The Oprah Winfrey Shows annual "Favorite Things" episode, performing with Josh Groban.

In September 2008, singer Charice joined Foster on The Oprah Winfrey Show with Celine Dion via satellite; and on October 31, he and Andrea Bocelli appeared on Oprah again together, where he stated that Bocelli was his "favourite singer on the planet".

In December 2008, Foster was featured in a PBS special titled Hit Man: David Foster & Friends, a concert featuring live performances by Foster and numerous other performers.

Later in 2011, he was featured in Andrea Bocelli's live album, Concerto: One Night in Central Park (also known as Live in Central Park) and in Bocelli's four PBS specials. Bocelli also performed during Foster's Hit Man special.

In late 2012, Foster appeared in an episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. His wife, Yolanda Foster, joined the cast of season three.

In 2015, Foster joined the panel of judges for Asia's Got Talent. In 2017 and 2019, he returned as judge with Anggun, Mel C, and Vanness Wu for the second season and third season with Anggun and Jay Park, and also judged the Chinese-language World's Got Talent.

In 2019, PBS hosted An Intimate Evening with David Foster. The show includes his wife Katharine McPhee, tenor Fernando Varela, Pia Toscano, Loren Allred, and Shelea.

In 2019, the biographical documentary, David Foster: Off the Record was produced and directed by Barry Avrich. It debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2019. It includes archival footage and interviews, and appearances by singers including Barbra Streisand, Michael Bublé, Josh Groban, and Celine Dion.

In 2021, Foster and McPhee competed in season six of The Masked Singer as "Banana Split". They were eliminated in the Group B Finale, where they competed against Jewel.

Christmas album productions
Foster has produced multiple best-selling Christmas albums beginning with Once Upon a Christmas, by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton in 1984. He produced Celine Dion's These Are Special Times (1998), Josh Groban's Noël (2007), Andrea Bocelli's My Christmas (2009), Michael Bublé's Christmas (2011), Rod Stewart's Merry Christmas, Baby (2012), Mary J. Blige's A Mary Christmas (2013), and Jordan Smith's 'Tis the Season (2016). Thus, he has produced the best-selling Christmas albums of 1984, 1998, 2007–09, and 2011–12. Four of these albums rank among the top fifteen best-selling Christmas albums ever.  He composed "Grown-Up Christmas List" (1990).

Foster and his fifth wife Katharine McPhee recorded a seven-song Christmas EP called Christmas Songs in 2022.

Philanthropy
Foster created the David Foster Foundation, which supports children in need of medical transplants, for which he was acknowledged in the Juno Awards 2019. He is an ardent supporter of Israel, raising money for their military at fundraisers.

Personal life
Foster has been married five times and has five daughters, one son, and seven grandchildren. His first child, Allison Jones Foster was born in 1970 when Foster was 20. He placed her for adoption and reconnected with her when she was 30. His first marriage was to singer and writer B.J. Cook. Cook and Foster had one daughter together, Amy Skylark (b. 1973), a songwriter and author.

He married his second wife, Rebecca Dyer, on October 27, 1982, and they divorced in 1986. They had three daughters: Sara (b. 1981), Erin (b. 1982), and Jordan. Foster is the father-in-law of former professional tennis player Tommy Haas, who is married to Sara.

He married his third wife, songwriter Linda Thompson, in 1991 and divorced in 2005. The two became a songwriting team, collaborating on several songs, including "I Have Nothing", performed by Whitney Houston in The Bodyguard (1992), and "Grown-Up Christmas List". Foster was stepfather to Brody and Brandon Jenner (Linda's sons with Caitlyn Jenner), who both grew up living in his Malibu home.  Both Jenner boys starred in a short-lived TV reality show called The Princes of Malibu in 2005 which also featured Foster and Thompson and was filmed in Foster's and Thompson's home.

In 1992, Foster was driving on the Pacific Coast Highway when his car struck actor and dancer Ben Vereen, who had just suffered a stroke while driving near his Malibu home and was stumbling on the highway. Vereen was critically injured, but recovered after going through physical rehabilitation. Vereen said afterward that he would have died if Foster had not collided with him, and then called for emergency services.

Foster married his fourth wife, Dutch model Yolanda Hadid, in Beverly Hills, California on November 11, 2011. David had three stepchildren from Yolanda Foster's previous marriage to Mohamed Hadid: Gigi (b. 1995), Bella (b. 1996), and Anwar (b. 1999). On December 1, 2015, Foster announced that after four years of marriage and nine years together, he and Yolanda had made the decision to divorce. The divorce was finalized on October 16, 2017.

In June 2018, Foster became engaged to Katharine McPhee. On June 28, 2019, the couple wed at the Armenian Church of St Yeghiche, South Kensington in London. McPhee gave birth to a son, Rennie David, in February 2021.

Sky were an English/Australian instrumental rock group that specialised in combining a variety of musical styles, most prominently rock, classical and jazz. The group's original and best-known line-up featured two Australians: classical guitarist John Williams and electric guitarist Kevin Peek, alongside three Britons: bass player Herbie Flowers, drummer/percussionist Tristan Fry and keyboard player Francis Monkman.

History

Roots and prehistory

In 1971, John Williams released the fusion album Changes, his first recording of non-classical music and the first on which he played electric guitar. Among the musicians working on the album were Tristan Fry (an established session drummer who was also the timpanist for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, and had played Timpani on the Beatles' "A Day in the Life") and Herbie Flowers (a former member of Blue Mink and T. Rex, as well as a busy session musician who, among other things, had recorded the bassline for Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side").

The three musicians became friends, kept in touch and continued working together on various projects during the 1970s. One of these was Williams' 1978 album Travelling, another substantially commercially successful cross-genre recording. As well as Fry and Flowers, the record featured former Curved Air member Francis Monkman (who in addition to his progressive and psychedelic rock background as guitar and synthesiser player, was a trained and accomplished classical harpsichordist).

In 1979, Monkman performed on Louis Clark's album (per-spek-tiv) n., on which he collaborated with Australian session guitarist Kevin Peek. Peek was equally adept at classical guitar and pop/rock styles, having built a reputation both as a chamber musician and as a long-standing member of Cliff Richard's band, as well as for working with Manfred Mann, Lulu, Tom Jones, Jeff Wayne, Shirley Bassey and Gary Glitter.

First line-up: 1979–1980

The success of Travelling inspired Williams and Flowers to set up Sky, their own long-term cross-genre band. The band name Sky was suggested by flautist Pinuccia Rossetti, a member of the Carlos Bonell Ensemble, and a friend of Williams.  Fry and Monkman were swiftly recruited, with Kevin Peek being the final addition. The band began writing and recording instrumental music drawing on their collective experience of classical, light pop, progressive and psychedelic rock, light entertainment and jazz. After a protracted search for a record company, Sky signed with the small European label Ariola Records.

Although Sky was run democratically (with all members contributing music and/or arrangements), the presence of John Williams in the line-up was regarded as the band's biggest selling point and was emphasised in publicity. Williams' concurrent solo instrumental hit – "Cavatina – Theme from The Deer Hunter" – also helped to raise the band's profile. However, this selling was counterbalanced by some negative reviews from critics accustomed to Williams' classical performances, who remained unimpressed by his new direction with Sky.

Sky's self-titled debut album (released in 1979) was highly successful in Britain and Australia, quickly reaching gold record status and eventually topping out as a platinum record. The album featured versions of Eric Satie's "Gymnopedie No. 1" and Antonio Ruiz-Pipò's "Danza", as well as original compositions by Monkman and Flowers. Monkman's 'Cannonball' was a minor hit single, and the keyboard player also contributed the twenty-minute second-side composition "Where Opposites Meet" (intended to combine and display the band's diverse influences). The band toured the UK in summer and autumn 1979, particular triumphs being sold-out concerts at the Royal Albert Hall and the Dominion Theatre in London (the latter a five-night sellout).

In 1980, Sky recorded and released their second album, Sky 2. This was a double album that built upon its predecessor's success, becoming the tenth highest selling album in Britain that year. The album included Monkman's side-long rock suite "FIFO" (a piece inspired by computer information processing techniques, stands for "First In, First Out") and four classical pieces including three established chamber music pieces (played entirely straight) and the band's souped-up electric treatment of Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor". The latter was released as a single (under the name "Toccata") and reached number 5 in the national pop charts, giving the band the opportunity of performing on Top of the Pops. Other tracks included a Williams conflation of Spanish folk tunes, a Fry-penned tuned percussion piece, a cover of Curved Air's "Vivaldi", Peek's Arabic-influenced "Sahara", the psychedelic faux-Spanish folk dance "Hotta", and several cheerful Flowers compositions including his tuba showcase "Tuba Smarties" and "Scipio" (which Flowers described as "the first piece of music to have Parts I & II running simultaneously.").

In 1980, the BBC produced the television series Great Railway Journeys of the World which included an episode set in Australia. The music for this programme was by Sky, featuring tracks from the first two albums.

Following further tours of Australia and the UK, Francis Monkman left the band in 1980 to concentrate on his own projects (having scored success with his soundtrack to the film The Long Good Friday). The split was entirely amicable, and the band had no doubts about carrying on despite the fact that Monkman had been Sky's most prominent original composer and arranger.

Second line-up: 1980–1984

Monkman was replaced as Sky's keyboard player by Steve Gray. Like most of the other band members, Gray was an established session musician who had previously played with Back Door, Quincy Jones, Henry Mancini, Michel Legrand, Lalo Schifrin, Peggy Lee, Sammy Davis Jr and John Barry: more recently he had led WASP (a studio-based jazz-fusion band specialising in high-quality library music). Despite his initial reluctance to return to playing live, Gray was persuaded to join the band in time for their first European tour. This was followed by another UK tour and (on 24 February 1981) the "Sky at Westminster Abbey" concert. A benefit show to commemorate the 20th anniversary of human rights organisation Amnesty International, the latter was conceived by British producer Martin Lewis and was the first-ever rock concert held at the abbey. The landmark event resulted in Sky receiving considerable positive media coverage: it was also videotaped for a BBC TV special and subsequently released on home video and laserdisc.

The Westminster Abbey concert was also the launch event for the band's third album, Sky 3. A generally brighter and breezier album than its predecessors, the record demonstrated Steve Gray's new and prominent compositional role within Sky, moving away from the harpsichordal and psychedelic elements of the Monkman years and taking the band towards a more jazz-influenced sound. Sky went on to tour Australia, Europe and the UK in support of the release.

The fourth Sky album, Sky 4: Forthcoming, was released in March 1982. Sky's first album to feature no original material, it consisted predominantly of arrangements of classical compositions and was marketed under the slogan "Genius Past, Genius Forthcoming". Once again, the band toured the UK and Australia to promote the album (and followed this up with trips to Europe and Japan). The Australian autumn tour featured the debut of plenty of new material, much of which was included on a live double album, Sky Five Live, released in January 1983.

Sky released their sixth album, Cadmium, in December 1983. The album contained a classical-rock arrangement of Prokofiev's "Sleigh Ride" (from the "Lieutenant Kijé Suite"), alongside seven original compositions. It also featured the first examples of commissioned compositions from contemporary writers from outside the band: Alan Tarney (Kevin Peek's old friend and fellow Cliff Richard collaborator) provided two further original tunes. Two concerts at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London were filmed and broadcast on Christmas Eve, 1983, with songwriter and singer-songwriter Patrick Ros as special guest. Ros provided three seasonal compositions of his own on which he was backed by the band.

Having previously hinted that his work with Sky had been intended as a five-year stint, John Williams parted company with the band in February 1984, returning to a full-time classical career. As with Monkman, Williams' departure was amicable. However, it damaged Sky's profile since (despite the band's collective efforts to present themselves as a partnership of equals) the guitarist had remained Sky's biggest star and live draw. The band released a stopgap "greatest hits" compilation called Masterpieces, released on mass-media label Telstar (and featuring a previously unreleased live version of the Beatles song "The Fool on the Hill", performed as a classical guitar duet by Williams and Peek).

Third line-up: 1984–1990

Having opted not to recruit a permanent replacement for Williams, Sky remained as a quartet and opted to tour with a succession of guest musicians. Both of the band's 1984 tours, Australia in February and the UK in early summer, featured session guitarist Lee Fothergill (an accomplished all-round musician who had first met Tristan Fry as part of the house band for 'The Val Doonican Show') and woodwind player Ron Aspery (Steve Gray's former mentor in both Back Door and the Middlesbrough Municipal Junior Orchestra).

In September 1984, Sky began recording their seventh album, The Great Balloon Race, in Kevin Peek's Tracks Studio in Western Australia. During the mixing stage, the band learnt that they had been dropped by Ariola Records. The album was eventually released on Epic Records (coincidentally, also the label releasing John Williams' albums) in April 1985. The Great Balloon Race was the first Sky album to feature entirely original material without any classical content, although two pieces ("Allegro" and "Caldando") were strongly classically inspired. Guests included Aspery, Fothergill, pan-pipe player Adrian Brett and former Jeff Beck Band keyboard player Tony Hymas (who contributed the unusual semi-spoken album opener "Desperate For Your Love"). During April and May 1985, Sky toured the UK to promote the record, again performing with guest players – Nicky Hopkins (better known as keyboard player for the Rolling Stones) and multi-instrumentalist Paul Hart (a former composer for the National Youth Jazz Orchestra who had also played with John Dankworth and Cleo Laine).

Despite some favourable reviews, sales of The Great Balloon Race were significantly lower than they had been for previous recordings, and the tour saw Sky playing to smaller audiences than on previous tours. From mid-1985 to 1986, the members of the band worked on other projects. Sky returned in 1987 with another Australian tour (titled "A New Journey"), this time featuring former Yes keyboard player Rick Wakeman in the guest musician slot.

For the rest of 1987, the core quartet worked on the Mozart album, which united the band with the orchestra of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. The project was initiated by Tristan Fry (due to his parallel work with both band and orchestra) and was inspired by the bicentenary of Mozart's death. The album contained full orchestral performances of Mozart's work with Sky incorporated into the arrangements (most of which were written by Steve Gray). The band and orchestra (with Paul Hart returning as guest musician) promoted the album with a one-off concert at the Royal Albert Hall on 1 November 1987. Although the album ultimately became Sky's most successful album in the United States, Mozart was roundly panned and dismissed by the press and the band took another two years off. A second compilation album, Classic Sky, was released in 1990.

Final years: 1990–1995

When Sky returned to action in 1990, they had become a quintet again, having recruited Paul Hart as a full member. A skilled performer on a variety of instruments (including piano, keyboards, guitars, bass, mandolin, cello and violin), Hart had already proved his worth on the Great Balloon Race and Mozart concerts, broadening and reinforcing the band's sound.

The revived band played a one-off concert at the London Palladium on 24 June 1990, in part to promote the new Sky: Masterpieces compilation. Although the album did not contain any new recordings, the band were still creatively active. At the concert, new compositions by Paul Hart ("Reverie" and "Praeludium") and Kevin Peek ("Jehad") were premiered, alongside a revisiting of Francis Monkman's "Cannonball" (from the debut Sky album) and "Would You Say I'm In Love With You", a piece written by Herbie Flowers with his former Blue Mink colleague Roger Cook. The concert set was later recorded in the studio and also broadcast on television in 1991 as part of the Bedrock concert series on Central TV.

None of this work, however, made it to a studio-recorded album; and in 1991 Kevin Peek became the next member of the band to depart. A full-time resident of Australia since 1982 and busy with multiple recording projects at Tracks Studio (all of which inhibited his practical ability to spend time in the UK working with Sky), he no longer believed that he had enough time to commit to the band.

Peek was replaced by classical/cross-discipline guitarist Richard Durrant (an associate of Herbie Flowers). Durrant joined the band in time for a comeback concert in September 1992 at the Barbican in London. However, although Sky toured the UK again during spring 1993, they were playing notably smaller venues than they had in the 1980s. As gaps in band activity grew longer, and audiences shrank, the group's remaining momentum was gradually lost.

The last performance by Sky was at an RAF tribute concert in May 1995. Although the band never formally disbanded, Sky has never since returned to active recording and performance. The subsequent deaths of Steve Gray (in 2008) and Kevin Peek (in 2013) make a future reunion unlikely.

After Sky: individual careers and recordings

Since leaving Sky in 1980, Francis Monkman divided his time between experimental rock music, library music and classical music recordings of solo keyboard work (generally harpsichord or church organ). He died on 11 May 2023.

Following his own departure from Sky in 1984, John Williams continued his original career as one of the world's leading classical guitarists. He would also commission two guitar concertos from other members of Sky, performing and recording Paul Hart's "Concerto For Guitar & Jazz Orchestra" with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra in 1987, and Steve Gray's "Guitar Concerto" with the London Symphony Orchestra in 1989 (although the latter was not released on record until 1996).

After leaving Sky in 1991, Kevin Peek continued to work as a musician and producer in Australia. In his later years, he underwent two bankruptcies, the first of which resulted in a three-year prison sentence. In 2010, he was linked to a "Ponzi" style investment scheme. In November 2011, he was back in court, bailed on 227 charges of gaining benefit by fraud: a trial date was scheduled for 27 January 2012, but abandoned due to Peek's ill health. He died in Perth, Western Australia, on 11 February 2013, from metastatic skin cancer.

Following Sky's last known collaborative work in 1995, Steve Gray continued his career as a respected composer (which he had been carrying out in parallel to his work with Sky). His compositions include two operas, a requiem mass for jazz big band and choir, the guitar concerto for John Williams and the LSO, and a piano concerto written for French jazz pianist Martial Solal. Gray also provided a full orchestration of the works of Brian Eno (in collaboration with the original composer). From 1991, he worked closely with the North German Radio (NDR) Big Band in Hamburg (at the invitation of singer and composer Norma Winstone) and from 1998 he worked as guest professor of composition and arrangement in the Hanns Eisler jazz department of Berlin Hochschule für Musik. Steve Gray died on 20 September 2008.

Post-Sky, Tristan Fry continued his work as a classical percussionist. He still works with the Orchestra of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, as well as the Tristan Fry Percussion Ensemble.

As well as branching out as a light entertainment raconteur, Herbie Flowers continues to work as a high-profile session musician and has collaborated with Jools Holland, Clannad, Mike Hatchard and Paul McCartney. He also played in the band for the first live tour of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds show (having performed on the original studio album) and again in 2018. He frequently collaborates with Sky's final guitarist, Richard Durrant, on various musical projects (including a trio with former Gentle Giant drummer Malcolm Mortimore).

Richard Durrant has continued to develop his own career as a classical guitarist, as well as composing film and television music and working as a record producer (notably for the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain). Durrant is also the founder of the acoustic record label LongMan Records.

Paul Hart went on to a career in film, television and commercial music and has written concert music for the London Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the King's Singers. His Concerto for Classical Guitar and Jazz Orchestra was revived for performance in 2008 by the Towson University Jazz Orchestra and guitarist Michael Decker.

In 2002, a live Sky album, Live in Nottingham, was released on Classic Rock Productions, drawing on the 1990 live-in-the-studio concert with the Peek/Flowers/Gray/Fry/Hart line-up, which had followed the band's lone Palladium concert in the same year. In 2005, Quantum Leap Productions issued a live DVD, Live in Bremen, featuring the original Sky line-up and recorded at a German television show in either 1979 or 1980.

Reissues
In 1993, Arista reissued the band's first five albums on CD, although cuts were made to certain albums to suit CD running times (a shorter edit of "Scipio" on Sky 2 and the complete removal of the twenty-minute suite "The Animals" from Sky Five Live). [The complete "Sky Five Live", with "The Animals", was issued as a double CD on Esoldun, with four bonus tracks from the four earlier studio albums. These were "Carillon" (Sky, listed as "Carillion"), "Toccata" (Sky 2), "Westwind" (Sky 3) and "Fantasia" (Sky 4).]

In 2001, the band began a reissue programme of their back catalogue on Sanctuary Records, beginning with the Anthology compilation album. After four years wait, Sky reissued their debut album on the label in 2005 (with Sky 2 following on a different label, Castle Music). After this the reissues plan stalled (although occasional brief runs of the first two Sky albums would appear intermittently on small labels). It would be nine more years before a full Sky reissue programme was carried out properly.

The entire Sky back catalogue was eventually reissued by Esoteric Recordings (a progressive-rock-friendly subsidiary of Cherry Red Records). On 27 October 2014, fully remastered versions of Sky and Sky 2 were released as CD/DVD packages, each containing a DVD of Sky's television appearances (in 1979 and 1980 respectively). Remastered versions of Sky 3 and Sky 4: Forthcoming were released on 26 January 2015, each with new sleevenote essays and companion live DVDs (the former featuring a companion DVD of the Sky at Westminster Abbey concert, the latter featuring the band's July 1982 live set for the BBC TV programme Night Music). Remastered versions of The Great Balloon Race and Mozart followed on 30 March 2015 (with new essays but no bonus DVDs). The reissue set was completed by 27 April 2015 release of the remastered Sky Five Live (as a double CD with new sleevenote essay and with "The Animals" restored to the running order) and Cadmium (as a double set with three bonus tracks, a new sleevenote essay and a DVD combining a previously unreleased BBC recording of Sky at Drury Lane and a rare performance of the piece "Troika" on the Val Doonican Show from December 1983).

Snežana Čongradin (srp.: Снежана Чонградин; Kikinda, 25. siječnja 1978.), srbijanska je novinarka i kolumnistica, jedno od najznačajnih imena tiskanog novinarstva u Srbiji.

Životopis
Snežana Čongradin je rođena 1978. godine u Kikindi. U rodnom gradu je završila osnovnu i gimnaziju. Diplomirala na 2002. godine na Filozofskom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Beogradu, na smjeru filozofija.

Od 2003. godine radi kao novinarka u dnevnom listu Danas. Godine 2016. je postala kolumnistica ovog lista, čija kolumna pod nazivom Beli listić izlazi svakog četvrtka. Iako nije mijenjala mjesto zaposljenja, tokom radnog vijeka surađivala je s brojnim drugim medijima u Srbiji i regionu. Neki od njih su: Peščanik, Al Jazeera Balkans i Karakter.

Kao novinarka, vrlo brzo se našla pod pritiskom i kritikama tadašnje vlasti, jer je pokretala i pisala o temama koje su sve vlasti nakon 2000. godine, usprkos padu režima Slobodana Miloševića, izbjegavale ili pravile izravne kompromise s ratnim huškačima i zločincima, a tiču se odgovornosti Srbije za ratove, ratne zločine, genocid i etnička čišćenja. Osim pritisaka s vrha, suočavala se s problemima i u svojoj okolini u naporima da te teme plasira i učini značajnim za javni interes.

Prijetnje smrću, protjerivanjem iz države, seksualnim nasiljem, od običnih ljudi, bez funkcija i odgovornosti, vrlo brzo su počele da pristižu, tako da povijest takve vrste odnosa prema predmetu istraživanja i pisanja traje gotovo od samog početka bavljenja novinarstvom. Najdrastičniji primjer su prijetnje smrću i robijom koje joj je uputio Vojislav Šešelj u srpnju 2019. godine. Šešelj joj je i drugi put prijetio na TV Pink 2020. godine, kada je tvrdio da bi ju trebalo uhititi. Srpnja 2022. godine Vojislav Šešelj joj je posvetio knjigu Mungos iz peščare Snežana Čongradin. Knjiga je objavljena u nakladničkoj kući Srpske radikalne stranke − Velika Srbija. Okarakterirana je kao još jedan napad na ličnost Snežane Čongradin.

Usprkos gomilanju prijetnji tijekom niza godina, prvi put je prijavila tužiteljstvu menadžera u Nogometnom savezu Srbije koji joj je prijetio preko društvene mreže Facebook, početkom studenog 2021. godine. Krajem istog mjeseca, na prosvjedu koji je organiziran kod Doma omladine u Beogradu zbog grafita Ratku Mladiću, jedna muškarac, koji je bio pripadnik Levijatana, fizički ju je napadao. Udario ju je rukom, ali je brzom intervencijom pripadnika policije u civilu priveden. Pokret Ne davimo Beograd i Demokratska stranka osudili su napad na novinarku.

Također, posebna vrsta prijetnji nasiljem i ugrožavanjem odnosile su se na činjenicu da je žena, pa se Snežana Čongradin nalazila među njih nekoliko koje javno proganjao i omalovažavao bivši profesor Fakulteta za medije i komunikacije u Beogradu, Zoran Ćirjaković. Nakon reakcije javnosti, ovaj profesor je udaljen s fakulteta, 2019. godine.

Živi u Beogradu.

The Alliance of the New Citizen (, ANO) was a liberal political party in Slovakia existing from 2001 to 2011. The acronym was a pun on áno, Slovak for "yes". It was founded and led by media entrepreneur Pavol Rusko. The party positioned itself as liberal and was a member of international liberal organisations. It was part of the centre-right governing coalition of Prime Minister Mikuláš Dzurinda from October 2002 to September 2005.

After its first election, its populist appeal waned and it developed a more liberal approach.

ANO was legally renamed and thus succeeded (but not in terms of personnel or political positions) by the Free Word Party of Nora Mojsejová (, SSS-NM) in November 2011, when Eleonóra Mojsejová a Slovak businesswoman and TV personality took over the party. The party changed its name to CITIZENS () in 2013 and in 2014 to IDEA. It was finally dissolved in 2017. The last president was Miroslav Leňo.

Foundation
The party was founded in 2001 as the Alliance of the New Citizen (ANO). It was the first modern political party in Slovakia to consider itself to be liberal. Its leader Pavol Rusko was also the founder and former owner of Markíza (the biggest commercial TV channel in Slovakia). Rusko at first thought to join the Party of Civic Understanding (SOP) which was part of the previous government, yet after some bad blood, around January 2001 Rusko decided to create a new political party.

Elections and government participation
In August 2002, Pavol Rusko claimed that the party is financed completely from his own money, and the money of his close friend, businessman Ján Kováčik who borrowed the party an undisclosed sum of money. Rusko estimated the cost of the political party to 25 million Slovak korunas so far, with an additional 15 million expected for the campaign before the 2002 Slovak parliamentary election. In the election, the party finished sixth, gaining 230,309 votes (8.01% total) and capturing 15 out of 150 seats in the National Council of the Slovak Republic.

ANO was a member of the government coalition together with SDKÚ, SMK-MKP and KDH from October 2002 to September 2005, when it was expelled from the coalition after disputes with both SDKÚ and KDH. The party remained in opposition until the next parliamentary election but a group of MPs around Ľubomír Lintner continued to support the government.

The following ANO nominees were part of the Second Mikuláš Dzurinda government:
 Deputy Prime Minister - Robert Nemcsics (16 October 2002 — 9 September 2003)
 Deputy Prime Minister - Pavol Rusko (23 September 2003 — 24 August 2005)
 Deputy Prime Minister - Jirko Malchárek (4 October 2005 — 4 July 2006)
 Minister of Industry - Robert Nemcsics (16 October 2002 —	9 September 2003)
 Minister of Industry - Pavol Rusko (23 September 2003 — 24 August 2005)
 Minister of Culture - Rudolf Chmel (16 October 2002 — 24 May 2005)
 Minister of Culture - František Tóth (24 May 2005	— 5 April 2006)
 Minister of Culture -	Rudolf Chmel (5 April 2006 — 4 July 2006)
 Minister of Health - Rudolf Zajac (16 October 2002 — 4 July 2006)

In March 2003 an internal conflict started within the party between its leader Pavol Rusko and Economy Minister Robert Nemcsics and Deputy Transport Minister Branislav Opaterný. The party's regional organizations unanimously supported Rusko and the party's regional board meetings unambiguously called on both Nemcsics and Opaterný to abdicate from their positions and give up their deputy mandates.

On 6 March 2006, Jirko Malchárek, František Tóth and Alexandra Novotná created a new political party Hope.

In the parliamentary election of June 17, 2006, the party won only 1.42% of the popular vote and lost parliamentary representation. It did not take part in other elections and slowly fell into obscurity.

Successor parties
In 2011 the party was bought by a known Slovak businesswoman Nora Mojsejová who did not have to collect thousands of signatures needed by law to register a new political party. If a party, that is already registered changes its name, no signatures are necessary. Mojsejová changed its name to Free Word Party of Nora Mojsejová and entered the 2012 Slovak parliamentary election where she received 1.22% of votes, not winning any seats in the National Council but finishing ahead of long-time Slovak Prime Minister Vladimír Mečiar's People's Party – Movement for a Democratic Slovakia (HZDS).

In 2013 party changed its name to CITIZENS. In 2014 party changed again its name to IDEA and new president became Miroslav Leňo.

حكايات الشاعر بيدل هو كتاب قصص أطفال للكاتبة البريطانية ج. ك. رولنغ وهو الأساس الذي بني عليه الجزء السابع والأخير من سلسلة هاري بوتر هاري بوتر ومقدسات الموت.
في البداية كتبت الكاتبة سبعة نسخ من الكتاب بخط يدها وقد عرض أحد هذه الكتب في مزاد علني وكان من المتوقع ان يصل سعره إلى أكثر من 000 50 £.
اشترت شركة امازون الكتاب بسعر 1.95 مليون جنيه استرليني وقد وهب المبلغ لصالح حملة صوت الأطفال الخيرية.
نزل الكتاب إلى الاسواق والمكتبات بتاريخ 4/12/2008.

في سلسلة هاري بوتر
ظهرت حكايات الشاعر بيدل لأول مرة في عام 2007 ككتاب خيالي ضمن الجزء السابع والأخير من سلسلة هاري بوتر (التي ألفتها الكاتبة البريطانية ج. ك. رولينغ)، والذي حمل عنوان هاري بوتر ومقدسات الموت. ورّث ألباس دمبلدور (المدير السابق لمدرسة هوغوورتس للسحر والشعوذة) الكتاب إلى هيرميون غرينجر. يوصف الكتاب بأنه مجموعة من القصص الخيالية الخاصة بالأطفال السحرة. كان رون ويزلي على دراية بالقصص التي يحكي عنها الكتاب، في الوقت الذي لم يسمع عنها هاري بوتر أو هيرميون غرينجر من قبل لأنهما لم يتربيا تربية سحرية.

يُعتبر الكتاب الذي ورثته هيرميون من دمبلدور نسخة من الطبعة الأصلية للكتاب الخيالي. يوصف الكتاب بأنه صغير، وذو مظهر عتيق، وغلافه «مبقع ومتشقق في بعض الأماكن». يُقال في الرواية إن الكتاب له عنوان يظهر على الغلاف الخارجي له، ومكتوب برموز رونية نافرة.

يُعتبر الكتاب وسيلة لعرض مقدسات الموت على الثلاثي الأساسي في الرواية (هاري، وهيرميون، ورون). تجد هيرميون غرينجر رمزًا غريبًا فوق كتاب «حكاية الأخوة الثلاثة»، ويكشف زينوفيليوس لافغود في وقت لاحق أن هذا الرمز هو رمز المقدسات. يمثل المثلث الموجود في الرمز عباءةَ الإخفاء، بينما ترمز الدائرة فيه إلى حجر البعث، أما الخط العامودي؛ فيمثل عصا الساحر القديمة.

تذكر القصة نفسها هذه الأغراض الثلاثة، ويُقال إنها تعود بملكيتها إلى الأخوين بيفيرل، اللذين يُكتشف لاحقًا أنهما سلفا كل من هاري بوتر وفولدمورت، إذ يؤكد ألباس دمبلدور في الأجزاء الأخيرة من الرواية قرابة هاري بوتر من الأخوة بيفريل، ويشير إلى احتمالية أن يكون الأخوان بيفيريل هم في الحقيقة منشؤو المقدسات.

تشير مقدمة المنشورات، التي وضعتها رولينغ والتي صدرت في شهر ديسمبر من عام 2008، إلى ولادة الشخصية الخيالية «الشاعر بيدل» في مقاطعة يوركشاير في القرن الخامس عشر، وتصفه بأنّه كان يملك لحية كثة للغاية.

تاريخ النشر
بدأت ج. ك. رولينغ بتأليف كتاب حكايات الشاعر بيدل بعد وقت قصير من انتهائها من العمل على الرواية السابعة من سلسلة هاري بوتر. ذكرت رولينغ، في مقابلة لها مع جمعية معجبي هاري بوتر، أنّها كانت تستخدم كتبًا أخرى لإلهامها في كتابة حكاياتها. وبشكل أكثر تحديدًا، استلهمت رولينغ «حكاية الأخوة الثلاثة»، التي يمكن اعتبارها القصة الوحيدة المشمولة بشكل كاملٍ في رواية هاري بوتر ومقدسات الموت، من قصة «الغفور»، وهي إحدى حكايات كانتربري التي ألفها الشاعر الإنجليزي جيفري تشوسر في القرن الرابع عشر.

الطبعة اليدوية
في بادئ الأمر، نُشرت حكايات الشاعر بيدل في سبع نسخ مكتوبة بخط اليد وموضحة من قبل المؤلفة شخصيًا. كانت الكتب السبعة هذه مربوطة بجلد الماعز المدبوغ (المعروف باسم السختيان)، ومنقوشة يدويًا بزخارف فضية، ومزينة بأحجار شبه كريمة مصنعة من قبل محل هاملتون آند إينشيز لصياغة الفضة والمجوهرات في مدينة إدنبرة الاسكتلندية. تمثل كل قطعة من القطع الفضية واحدة من خمس قصص يحويها الكتاب. طلبت المؤلفة ج. ك. رولينغ أيضًا أن تُزيّن كل نسخة من نسخ الكتاب السبع باستخدام حجر شبه كريم مختلف عن الآخر.

أعطت رولينغ ستة من النسخ السبع المكتوبة بخط اليد للأشخاص الستة الأكثر مشاركة في سلسلة هاري بوتر. لم تُحدد هوية مستملي هذه النسخ في بادئ الأمر، ولكن، مع مرور الوقت، عُرف اثنان منهم، وهما باري كانينغهام، أول كاتب محرر يعمل لصالح رولينغ، وآرثر إيه. ليفين، المحرر في مؤسسة إستلاستيك والناشر الأمريكي لكتب هاري بوتر. قدم كانينغهام وليفين نسختيهما للعرض في معرض الشاعر بيدل في شهر ديسمبر من عام 2008.

قررت رولينغ أيضًا وضع نسخة سابعة مكتوبة بخط اليد (تتميز عن غيرها من النسخ بتزيينها بمجوهرات أحجار القمر) لبيعها في مزاد علني لجمع الأموال لحملة «صوت الأطفال» الخيرية.

مقتطفات من كتاب بيدل الشاعر
الكتاب مؤلف من خمس قصص كتبتها رولنغ: الأولى «قلب المشعوذ المشعر» لم يرد ذكرها في كتاب هاري بوتر ومقدسات الموت.
ثلاثة أخرى «الساحر والقدر النطاط»، «نافورة الحظ الجيد»، «بابيتي رابيتي وجذعها الثرثار» ذكرت بايجاز.
الرابعة «حكاية الاخوة الثلاثة» وهي القصة الوحيدة التي ذكرت بالكامل.

الساحر والقدر النطاط
تحكي القصة عن وصية رجل عجوز يستخدم قدره ليصنع جرعات سحرية ومضادات سم ويعطيها للناس الذين يطلبون مساعدته، بعد وفاته ترك كل ممتلكاته لابنه الوحيد والذي لم يكن يملك أي من صفات والده وبعد موت ابيه وجد الابن القدر وبداخله فردة حذاء مع ملاحظة من الاب تقول «ابني مع الامل القوي لن تحتاج هذا».
غضب الابن كون اباه لم يترك له سوى هذا القدر فأغلق الباب في وجه كل من يأتيه لطلب المساعدة الا انه كلما فعل هزا كانت اعراض الشخص الذي يأتيه لطلب المساعدة تظهر على القدر.
استمر الابن على هذه الحال حتى ضاق ذرعاً في النهاية وقرر البدء بمساعدة الناس.
أثناء ذلك فرغ القدر وخرج منه حذاء غريب يناسب تماماً مقاس قدم القدر سية خرجو ومشو تحت غروب الشمس.

نافورة الحظ الجيد
تحكي القصة عن نافورة حيث يستطيع شخص وحد كل سنة النزول والأستحمام فيها فتحل جميع مشاكله.
قررت ثلاث ساحرات الأولى اشا: والتي كانت تعاني من مرض. الثانية الثيدا: والتي كانت تعاني من الفقر والعجز حتى اضطرت أحياناً للسرقة. اما الثالثة اماتا: فقد كانت مصدومة وكئيبة بعد أن هجرها حبيبها.
قررت هؤلاء الساحرات ان يصلن إلى النافورة سويةً وصادفا في طريقهم فارسا فانضم اليهم هو الآخر.
كان يتوجب عليهم للوصول إلى النافورة ان يجتازوا ثلاث مهمات تتضمن الأولى دودة عملاقة تطلب منهم ان يقدموا برهاناً على معاناتهم اما الثانية فتضمن منحدر عميق وقاسي حيث يتوجب عليهم ان يقطفوا «ثمرة جهدهم»
اما المهمة الثالثة «عبور النهر» فتطلب منهم ان يدفعوا «كنز ماضيهم». نجحت اماتا في اتمام هذه المهمة عن طريق استخدامها السحر لكي تتخلص من ذكرة حبيبها وتقدمها للنهر كون هذه الذكرة هي كنز ماضيها.
عند النافورة انهارت اشا من شدة تعبها فقامت الثيدا بصنع جرعة منعشة قدمتها لاشا الامر الذي خلص اشا من مرضها ولم تعد بحاجة للنافورة. ادركت الثيدا ان مهاراتها في صنع الجرع يمكن ان تكون وسيلة لتكسب بها عيشها وتخلصها من الفقر لذا فلم تعد هي الأخرى تحتاج للنافورة. ادركت الساحرة الثالثة بأن تقديمها لذكرة حبيبها للنهر خلصها منها لذا فلم تعد بالحاجة للنافورة.
أخيراً نزل الفارس إلى النافورة واستحم بها ومن ثم خرج قذف بنفسه عند اقدام امانتا وطلب «يدها وقلبها»
فقبلت واعطته.
وبهذا فقد حصل كل واحد منهم على حل لمشكلته بدون الحاجة إلى النافورة وسحرها

قلب المشعوذ المشعر
تدور القصّةَ حول ساحر صغير ووسيم قرّرُ أَنْ لا يَقِعُ في الحبّ، لذا يَستعملُ فنونَ مُظلمةَ لمَنْع نفسه من عَمَل ذلك.
تتمنى عائلته أنّ يَتغيّرُ على أية حال، في يوم من الايام، يَسْمعُ خادمين يَهْمسانِ عنه وعن عدم زواجه، لذا يُقرّرُ إيجاد ساحرة جميلة وغنية وموهوبة ويَتزوّجُها لكَسْب حسدِ كُلّ شخصِ.
يُقابلُ تلك البنتِ في اليوم التالي ويُقنعُها للمَجيء إلى عيد عشاءِ في قلعتِه. أثناء العيدِ، تُخبرُه بأنّها تَحتاجُ لمعْرِفة إذا كان يملك قلب. فيريها الساحر قلب مشعر داخل صندوق بلّوري في زنزانة. فتترجاه الساحرة لإعادته لداخل نفسه. بَعْدَ أَنْ ييفعل الساحرُ ذلك، تُعانقُه. على أية حال وكون قلبه ظل لمدة طويلة خارج جسمه طوّرَ أذواقَ وحشيةَ حيوانية ولذا يقرر ان يأخذ قلب إنسان اخر بالقوة يُمزّق صدر حبيبته ويأخذ قلبها لكي يبدله بقلبه ولكنه يكتشف انه لا يستطيع إعادة إخراج قلبه المشعر من صدره باستخدام السحر لذلك يأخذ خنجر ويطعن صدره بالقوة فيموت وهو حامل قلب حبيبته وقلبه.

بابيتي رابيتي وجذعها الثرثار
تدور هذه القصّةِ حول ملك يُريدُ إبْقاء كُلّ السحر لنفسه. ليستطيع َعمَلُ هذا يَحتاجُ لحَلّ المشكلتين: اولاً: يَجِبُ أَنْ يَأْسرَ ويَسْجنَ كُلّ السحرةِ في المملكةِ وُأَنْ يَتعلّمَ السحرَ. فيقوم بعمل فرقة لصيد السحرة وباستدعاء مدرب لتعليمه السحر. ولكن في يوم ما يضحك بابيتي على الملك أثناء محاولته لممارسة السحر فيقوم الملك باستدعاء دجال يقيم ندوة عامة لشرح السحر ويهدد بقطع رأس الدجال اذاما ضحك احدهم.

حكاية الاخوة الثلاثة
 ظهر كتاب حكايات بيدل الشاعر في الجزء السابع من سلسلة هاري بوتر كمجموعة قصص خيالية للاطفال.
تحكي هذه القصة عن ثلاثة إخوة يسموا الأخوة بيفريل يسافرون سويا فيصلون إلى نهر عميق لا يمكن عبوره. كان هؤلاء الإخوة سحرة متمرسين فقاموا باستخدام السحر لبناء جسر يصل بين ضفتي النهر وهم في طريقهم إلى الضفة المقابلة يقابلون تشخيصاً للموت الذي كان غاضباً لتمكنهم من عبور النهر والنجاة منه لأنه كان معتاداً أن يرسل كل من يحاول عبوره إلى ملاقاة حتفه.
كان الموت ماكراً فتظاهر بأنه يهنئهم على الإنجاز الذي قاموا به فعرض أن يعطي كل منهم ما يريد كهدية على دهائهم وفطنتهم.
 كان الأخ الأكبر مبارزاً فطلب أن يحصل على أقوى عصا سحرية في الوجود لكي تمكنه من هزيمة كل منافسيه والإيقاع بهم، فلبى الموت طلبه واتجه إلى شجرة قابعة عند ضفة النهر، كسر غصناً منها وصنع منه عصا سحرية وقدمها إلى الأخ الأكبر.
 كان الأخ الأوسط أكثر تكبراً وتعجرفاً من أخيه فأراد إذلال الموت والحط من شأنه أكثر، فطلب القوة التي تمكنه من استرجاع الموتى من عالمهم، غضب الموت من شدة تكبره ولكنه انحنى وأخذ حجرا اسود اللون من على الأرض وأعطاه للأخ الأوسط وقال له أن لهذا الحجر القدرة على استدعاء الموتى من عالمهم الأبدي إلى هذا العالم الفاني.
 أما الأخ الأصغر فقد كان أكثر ذكاءً وحكمةً من أخويه فطلب من الموت أن يدله على طريقة يستطيع من خلالها الهرب من الموت والبقاء متخفياً عن عيونه فغضب الموت كثيراً ولكنه تذكر عرضه لهم وأعطاه عباءة الإخفاء خاصته.
 أخذ كل واحد منهم هديته ومضوا سويةً حتى وصلوا إلى نقطة افترقوا فيها عن بعضهم وذهب كل منهم باتجاه.
 لاحقاً قتل الأخ الأكبر بينما كان نائما في سريره وسرقت العصا منه.
 أما الأخ الأوسط فقد قام باسترجاع حبيبته التي لم يتمكن الزواج منها بسبب موتها إلا أنها لم تكن حية بالكامل، كان وجهها شديد الشحوب ومظهرها وتصرفاتها مثل الأموات قام الأخ الأوسط فيما بعد بقتل نفسه والانضمام إليها في عالمها الأبدي.
 ظل الأخ الأصغر متخفياً عن عيون الموت لعشرات السنين بواسطة عباءة الإخفاء حتى خلع في النهاية هذه العباءة وسلمها لابنه وذهب مع الموت بكل سرور كما لو كانا صديقين.
 ظلت عباءة الإخفاء تنتقل عبر أجيال هذه العائلة حتى وصلت إلى جيمس بوتر والد هاري بوتر والذي كان ينتمي إلى سلالة عائلة بيفيريل فقام بإعطائها لدمبلدور ليتحقق له إذا كانت هي نفس العباءة التي ذكرت بحكاية الإخوة الثلاثة وبعد موته أعطى دمبلدور العباءة لهاري كما أوصاه جيمس.

Ann Hamilton, née à Lima (Ohio) en 1956, est une artiste conceptuelle américaine réalisant des performances et des installations ainsi que des sculptures, des estampes et de la photographie. Ayant émergé au début des années 1980, elle est connue pour ses installations multimédia à grande échelle.

Après avoir obtenu un BFA en design textile de l'université du Kansas en 1979, elle a vécu à Banff et à Montréal, avant de décider de poursuivre un  en sculpture à Yale en 1983. De 1985 à 1991, elle a enseigné à l'université de Californie à Santa Barbara. Depuis 2001, Hamilton fait partie de la faculté du département d'art de l'université d'État de l'Ohio. Elle a été nommée professeure distinguée de l'université en 2011.

Biographie
Ann Hamilton naît le  à Lima, dans le comté d'Allen, en Ohio, aux États-Unis. Elle grandit dans une famille très unie et est très proche de sa grand-mère : elle se souvient avoir passé beaucoup de temps avec elle, assise sur le canapé, à lire, tricoter et faire de la broderie ensemble.

Après avoir vécu un temps à Banff (Alberta) et à Montréal (Québec) au Canada, elle repart aux États-Unis pour étudier à l'université de St. Lawrence de 1974 à 1976, puis l'université du Kansas, où elle obtient un BFA en design textile en 1979, et enfin l'université Yale, où elle obtient un  en sculpture en 1985.

Elle rentre ensuite en Ohio, où elle réside depuis à Columbus avec son mari Michael Mercil, également artiste.

Œuvre

Démarche et thématiques
Bien qu'elle ait étudié le design textile tout au long de son cursus universitaire, Hamilton a décidé de se concentrer sur la sculpture plutôt que sur le tissage dans le cadre de ses études supérieures. Elle affirme qu'en prenant cette décision, elle était

Pendant qu'elle était au Canada et qu'elle enseignait à l'université de Santa Barbara, Hamilton a commencé à relier son expérience des textiles à la photographie et à la performance, créant ainsi un dialogue artistique interdisciplinaire dans son œuvre, donnant l'impression de « tisser » souvent différents éléments ensemble dans une image ou qui inclut des textiles comme des chemises repassées ou des uniformes de travail.

Outre son parcours éducatif, son identité personnelle et ses intérêts influencent directement sa création artistique. Elle s'identifie comme une lectrice : d'espace, d'objets, de critique littéraire, de poésie et même de dictionnaires ; ainsi, l'acte de lire, les mots et les livres font souvent leur chemin dans ses installations, vidéos et objets créés.

Son travail explore également les thèmes de l'humanité, du genre et du corps à la souffrance et au pouvoir.

En tant qu'artiste conceptuel travaillant avec la vidéo, le son et l'installation interactive, les éléments du temps, du changement et de la décadence jouent également un rôle dans son travail. Les installations d'Hamilton sont destinées à être vécues avec tous les sens, intégrant souvent des éléments tels que le son et l'odeur qui incitent le spectateur à se connecter et à s'engager dans l'œuvre à un niveau multi-sensoriel. Ses œuvres répondent aussi souvent aux espaces et aux villes dans lesquels elles sont créées, en utilisant des objets qui reflètent l'histoire et l'identité de la culture locales.

Space in Space, hrvatski glazbeni sastav iz Splita.

Povijest
Osnovao ih je 2011. godine Nikola Džaja. Sviraju art/progresivni rock. Prvi album From Clouds To Stars objavio je 18. lipnja 2013. i dostupan je na Bandcampu. Na tom je albumu sve snimio i izmiksao sam osim gitara. Dobio je pozitivne recenzije iz inozemstva. Albumom mjeseca proglasio ga je španjolski portal Portal Esquizofrenia (www.portalesquizofrenia.com/) danas imena Rock Progresivo (www.rock-progresivo.com/), koji se bavi progresivnim i simfoničkim rockom, a portal Descubre La caja de Pandora (www.descubrelacajadepandora.blogspot.com) ga je uvrstio u prvih 20 progresivnih rock albuma 2013. godine.
Početkom 2014. Džaji su se pridružila još četvero glazbenika čime je sastav mogao nastupati uživo, a Džaja je snimao u međuvremenu drugi album koji je najavio za ljeto 2014. godine. Nastupili su na Karlovačko Band Contestu 2015. godine skladbom Heartbeats. U sastavu su tad na bili: na vokalu i klavijaturama Nikola Džaja, gitare, klavijature i pozadinski vokal bio je Vojan Koceić, klavijature, sempliranje i pozadinski vokal bio je Elvis Sršen, bas-gitaru i kontrabas Jelena Galić i na bubnjevima Jan Ivelić. U prikazu Croatian Metal Scenea na Facebooku okarakterizirali su sastav i kao "metal" i da zvukom ih se može asocirati s OSI, Riverside, Porcupine Tree... i kao Džajin samostalni projekt s povremenim pojavljivanjem gostujućih glazbenika. 2015. godine objavili su singl Heartbeats koji je trebao biti na drugom albumu Transcendence 2015. godine.

بول لوجوين  (1 مارس 1964) مدافع دولي فرنسي سابق فيكرة القدم، استطاع لوجوين تحقيق النجاح في مسيرته الرياضية كمدرب خصوصا مع فريق ليون عندما قاده لتحقيق بطولة دوري الدرجة الأولى الفرنسي لثلاث مواسم متتالية . كذلك قام بتدريب فرق رين ورينجرز الإسكتلندي ولكنه لم يحقق النجاح مع الأخير . عندما كان لاعبا عاش أيام النجاح مع فريقي نانتوباريس سان جيرمان وشارك في 17 مباراة دولية مع منتخب فرنسا .

المسيرة الرياضية كلاعب

على مستوى الأندية
التحق لوجوين بنادي بريست لمدة 6 سنوات ثم انتقل لمدة سنتين إلى نادي نانت ثم قرر الرحيل إلى نادي باريس سان جيرمان وبقى فيه لمدة 7 سنوات استطاع خلالها من المشاركة في 478 مباراة ومساهما في تحقيق النادي بطولته الأوروبية الوحيدة وهي بطولة كأس أبطال الكؤوس الأوروبي سنة 1996 .

على مستوى المنتخب
على المستوى الدولي لم يشارك سوى في 17 مباراة بسبب كثرة تعرضه للإصابة مما أدى إلى عدم تأهل منتخب فرنسا إلى نهائيات كأس العالم 1994 على الرغم من تواجد النجمين إيريك كانتونا ودافيد جينولا ضمن صفوف المنتخب . أنهى مسيرته الدولية بالمشاركة في المباراة الودية أمام منتخب الكاميرون في 21 مايو 1998 والتي انتهت بالتعادل الإيجابي 1-1 .

المسيرة الرياضية التدريبية

رين
خلال تواجده في نادي رين من 1998 حتى 2001 تميز لوجوين بالتعاقد مع العديد من اللاعبين غير المعروفين مثل شعباني نوندا والحجي ضيوف وبفضل إرشاداته وتوجيهاته استطاع تطوير موهبتهم كلاعبي كرة قدم محترفين . قدم استقالته من تدريب فريق رين سنة 2001 بسبب كثرة خلافاته مع مجلس الإدارة . نتيجة لذلك قرر الابتعاد عن مهنة التدريب لمدة سنة كاملة .

ليون
تم استبدال جاك سانتيني ببول لوجوين في منصب مدرب فريق ليون في صيف 2002 بعدما حققوا بطولة دوري الدرجة الأولى الفرنسي لموسم 2001/2002 للمرة الأولى في تاريخ النادي . واجه لوجوين مصاعب في تحقيق نتائج ايجابية حيث حقق 3 انتصارات فقط في أول 9 مباريات ولكنه استطاع تطبيق التكتيك المناسب وتحقيق البطولة لمدة 3 مواسم متتالية والتأهل إلى الدور الربع النهائي من بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا . قدم استقالته من تدريب فريق ليون في 9 مايو 2005 في اليوم التالي من تحقيق الفريق بطولة الدوري الثالثة وتم استبداله بالمدرب القدير جيرارد هولييه . قرر لوجوين أخذ قسط من الراحة والابتعاد عن مجال التدريب لمدة سنة كاملة وفي خلال هذه المدة رفض عدة عروض مغرية لتدريب أندية أوروبية كبيرة مثل بنفيكا البرتغالي و لاتسيو الإيطالي كما صرح بأنه لا يرغب في تدريب فريق باريس سان جيرمان .

رينجرز
في 11 مارس 2006 أكد لوجوين أنه وافق على العرض الرسمي المقدم من نادي رينجرز من أجل الحلول مكان المدرب أليكس مكليش اعتبارا من بداية موسم 2006/2007 . واعتبر رئيس نادي رينجرز ديفيد موراي أن الحصول على توقيع لوجوين سيجعل النادي يحقق النجاح المتتالي . وقع لوجوين على عقد يمتد لثلاث مواسم مع إمكانية تمديده لموسم إضافي وسرعان ما طرح عدة أسماء على إدارة النادي من أجل التعاقد معهم لتعزيز صفوف الفريق . قدم لوجوين بداية سيئة مع الفريق حيث اعتبرت نتائج المباريات العشر الأولى الأسوأ في تاريخ النادي منذ موسم 1978/1979 عندما كان جون كريغ مدربا للفريق . في 8 نوفمبر خرج فريق رينجرز من الدور الربع النهائي من بطولة كأس الدوري الاسكتلندي من قبل فريق الدرجة الأولى سانت جونستون . لقد كانت المرة الأولى التي يخرج فيها فريق رينجرز على يد فريق ينتمي لدرجة أدنى منه . هذا الأمر جعل مشجعي الفريق يقومون بالمظاهرات السلمية أثناء مباريات الفريق على ملعبه إبروكس وطلبوا من رئيس النادي موراي الرحيل . في 1 يناير 2007 أعلن المتحدث الرسمي عن نادي رينجرز بأن لوجوين قرر سحب شارة القيادة من نجم الفريق باري فيرغسون ومنحه للاعب آخر مع عدم إشراكه في المباراة التي أقيمت في اليوم التالي من ذلك القرار . نتيجة لذلك صرح فيرغسون لهيئة الإذاعة البريطانية بأنه لن يلعب مجددا لصالح فريق رينجرز مادام لوجوين موجود في النادي . أعلن موراي في 4 يناير 2007 أن لوجوين رحل عن النادي بالتراضي بين الطرفين وبالتالي فقد كانت هذه أقصر فترة درب فيها نادي في تاريخ مسيرته التدريبية . في نفس السنة أصدر الصحافي غراهام سبيرز كتاب بعنوان (بول لوجوين : لغز) يوثق من خلالها مسيرة لوجوين في نادي رينجرز وأن سبب الرحيل الحقيقي هو شعوره بعدم أهميته من قبل أعضاء مجلس إدارة النادي وقائد الفريق باري فيرغسون والطبيب إيان مكغينيز .

باريس سان جيرمان
تم الإعلان في 15 يناير 2007 بأن بول لوجوين سيعود إلى ناديه من أجل أن يتولى تدريب الفريق مكان غاي لاكومب . وكان فريق العاصمة يحتل المركز السابع عشر واستطاع أن يقود الفريق إلى احتلال المركز الخامس عشر وبالتالي الابتعاد عن منطقة الهبوط . بسبب عدم التزام بعض اللاعبين فإن لوجوين عانى من تحقيق النتائج الايجابية في موسم 2007/2008 وكان الفريق داخل منطقة الهبوط حتى تاريخ 20 أبريل مع بقاء 4 مباريات على نهاية البطولة علما بأنه توج بطلا لبطولة كأس الدوري الفرنسي مما أهله للمشاركة في بطولة كأس الاتحاد الأوروبي وتأهل إلى المباراة النهائية لبطولة كأس فرنسا . وانهى الفريق الموسم باحتلال المركز السادس عشر والهروب من الهبوط إلى الدرجة الثانية .

الكاميرون
يوم 1 يوليو 2009 تعاقد مع منتخب الكاميرون لكرة القدم بهدف التأهل لكأس العالم 2010 و كانت وضعية المنتخب حرجة ففاز في جميع مبارياته المتبقية ثم قاده للدور الربع النهائي من كأس الأمم الإفريقية 2010 قبل الهزيمة أمام مصر حاملة اللقب 3-1 و أشرف عليه في كأس العالم 2010 بجنوب أفريقيا فانهزم في جميع مبارياته وكانت كالأتي

Jeg brød et løfte er en erindringsbog, skrevet af Dorthe Emilie Røssell og udgivet af Batzer & Co. i 2007. Bogen handler om forfatterens barndom under Danmarks besættelse under 2. verdenskrig. Under besættelsen var forfatteren med i modstandbevægelsen, hvor hun som seksårig var med til at dele våben og illegale blade rundt i sin dukkevogn. Hun lærte også at bruge en pistol. Med udgivelsen af bogen brød hun et løfte, hun havde givet sin far tres år tidligere: aldrig at fortælle om sine oplevelser under besættelsen. Pr. 2009 havde bogen solgt ca. 4000 eksemplarer.

I 2009 indgik forfatteren en aftale med Nimbus Film om at lave en historie om besættelsen, der baserer sig på denne bog, omend den ikke vil handle om forfatteren, men om bogens tema om en pige under besættelsen.

Johann Joachim Becher (født 6. maj 1635, død 1682) var en tysk kemiker og læge.

Trods et uroligt omflakkende liv, en kort tid som professor i medicin ved universitetet i Mainz og livlæge hos kurfyrsten, senere som livlæge og alkymist ved hofferne i München og Wien, og til sidst optaget af fantastiske projekter i Haarlem og England, altid jaget, fordi han var for ærlig til at bedrage sine velyndere, måske også for åben og frimodig, har han sat sit spor dybt i kemiens historie. Interesse har forskellige af hans eksperimentelle arbejder fx om stenkul, fremstilling af tjære, olie, beg og gas og om metalfremstilling, men særligt hans teoretiske betragtninger; han udvidede Basilius Valentius' og Paracelsus' anskuelser over de uorganiske stoffer, som han antager sammensatte af 3 "jordarter", den merkurielske, den glasdannende og den brændbare (terra pingvis), hvilken sidste går bort ved forbrænding, også ved metallernes. Herved lagde han grunden til den senere af Stahl opstillede teori om flogistisk kemi. Også ved fremsættelse af økonomiske teorier og som en af grundlæggerne af merkantilismen i Tyskland har han haft betydning.
