Theatre of Tragedy was a Norwegian band from Stavanger, active between 1993 and 2010. They are best known for their earlier albums, which influenced the gothic metal genre.

History

Formation (1993)
Theatre of Tragedy was founded on 2 October 1993 by vocalist Raymond István Rohonyi, guitarists Pål Bjåstad and Tommy Lindal. Drummer Hein Frode Hansen had recently quit his former band Phobia  and started looking for a new musical project to play in. A friend of his told Hein that a band called Suffering Grief was looking for a new drummer, and after contacting them, he joined the band. At the time, Suffering Grief was composed of vocalist Raymond István Rohonyi and guitarists Pål Bjåstad and Tommy Lindal. No bassist had joined the band yet, but Eirik T. Saltrø had agreed to play with them in live concerts.

After finding a rehearsal place, the band decided to work upon a couple of piano arrangements composed by Lorentz Aspen. The vocals, at the time, were almost entirely composed of raw death grunts.

After composing their first song, "Lament of the Perishing Roses", the band changed its name to La Reine Noir and then to Theatre of Tragedy. They subsequently invited singer Liv Kristine Espenæs - Rohonyi's then girlfriend  - to do female vocals for one song, but quickly invited her to join the band permanently.

First five albums (1994–2002)

In 1994, their first studio demo was recorded, and in 1995, the debut album Theatre of Tragedy was released, followed by Velvet Darkness They Fear in 1996 and the A Rose for the Dead EP in 1997, which contained unreleased material from Velvet Darkness They Fear. Arguably, the band reached the apogee of its career in 1998, with the release of the critically acclaimed album Aégis.

Released in 2000, Musique was a massive departure from the gothic metal sound that Theatre of Tragedy had developed over the previous three albums. The heavy guitars and Early Modern English lyrics were replaced by electropop and industrial-influenced metal. It was met with a very mixed reception, and while some older fans were understandably shocked by the new direction of the band, it did gain them a number of new fans.

With 2002's Assembly, the band continued along the same musical path as on their previous album. It was seen as a more refined and confident electropop record than its predecessor. It was also the first album to feature their long-time session guitarist, Vegard K. Thorsen, as a full member of the band.

Departure of Liv Kristine and Storm (2003–2007)
In August 2003, the band declared in an official statement on their website that Liv Kristine was removed from the band's line-up due to "musical differences which could not be bridged".

Female singer Nell Sigland (from The Crest) joined Theatre of Tragedy on the following year. In winter 2004/2005, the band performed a short concert tour (together with Pain, Sirenia, and Tiamat) with Sigland singing.

The band released their sixth studio album Storm on 24 March 2006, and a European tour followed, with Gothminister as supporting act. The album's title song was released as a single on 24 February 2006. While still keeping on the industrial and electronic roots of the last two albums, the album showed a return to some of the sounds developed in their first albums.

Forever Is the World (2008–2009)
On 2 October 2008, Theatre of Tragedy celebrated their 15th anniversary. In December 2008 the band posted a snippet of new track "Frozen," which was expected to be on the new album, on their MySpace music page:

"Time for some updates. Things are slowly moving forward with the next album. As usual with the Theatre machinery there is many things  to take into consideration when doing stuff and recently we were forced to change collaborators for the production of the album, and postpone the recordings. But fear not the heavy responsibility has been entrusted to Alexander Møklebust (Zeromancer, Seigmen, Gåte, Monomen, Delaware etc) and the ToT crew will enter Room 13 in May and June for recordings and general mayhem! Estimated release from AFM is end of September. Rumor has it that there will be a vinyl version for the diehard fans. We will keep you posted."

In June 2009 saw the band reveal Forever Is the World as the title of the new album.  Their 7th album was released in Europe on 21 September 2009, with the band making a step towards their earlier sound of Aégis. A special tour edition of Forever Is the World was issued on 12 March 2010. The tour edition contained a bonus CD known as the Addenda EP, which contains song reworkings and unreleased tracks.

Metal Mind Productions issued a press release in July stating that they were, with the co-operation of the band, re-releasing Musique and Assembly. Both albums have been remastered and will be backed with bonus tracks. New liner notes and artwork are said to be a part of the package. Each album is limited to 2000 numbered copies.

Breakup and aftermath (2010–present)
On 1 March 2010, Theatre of Tragedy issued a statement informing fans of their decision to split on 2 October 2010. The statement cited personal desires to spend more time with family and an inability to juggle their everyday working lives with a "rock and roll" lifestyle.  On 12 March, Theatre of Tragedy kicked off their farewell tour, "Forever is the World Tour". The Norwegian symphonic goth metal band Where Angels Fall opened for them on the European part of the tour. In September, fans helped the band to secure funds to finish their first and last DVD by making donations when the label pulled out most of the funding for the production. The result was Last Curtain Call, a concert film from their very last show on 2 October 2010 in their hometown Stavanger.

On 5 July 2013, the band's first three albums were re-released and remastered.

In December 2015, Liv Kristine did a tour across Germany, Belgium, Russia, Poland, Netherlands, and United Kingdom, with her own solo project. She performed songs from her solo project and from Theatre of Tragedy like she usually does in solo concerts. Moreover, Raymond István Rohonyi joined her on this tour. She also played at the Metal Female Voices Fest XIII on 23 October 2016 along with Raymond. They also played a few songs of Theatre of Tragedy like they did in December 2015. The band members have stated, however, that there are no plans for a Theatre of Tragedy reunion, explaining that it is "as likely as a Doors reunion with the original lineup. No one has been approached or not approached."

Musical style
The band made use of contrasting vocals – male bass vocals (making some use of death grunts) and female soprano singing (commonly referred to as "Beauty and the Beast" vocals) – and on their first three albums, presented lyrics written predominantly in Early Modern English. Starting from the album Musique, however, Theatre of Tragedy made drastic changes to its style, which became significantly inspired by the industrial rock genre, abandoning Early Modern English writing and death grunts in the process.
On their two last releases, Storm and Forever Is The World, the band returned to a more classic gothic rock/metal sound.

Bluff (), previously known as Campbelltown and often referred to as "The Bluff", is a town  and seaport in the Southland region, on the southern coast of the South Island of New Zealand. It is the southernmost town in mainland New Zealand and, despite Slope Point and Stewart Island being further south, Bluff is colloquially used to refer to the southern extremity of the country (particularly in the phrase "from Cape Reinga to The Bluff"). According to the 2018 census, the resident population was 1,797, a decrease of 6 since 2013.

The Bluff area was one of the earliest areas of New Zealand where a European presence became established. The first ship known to have entered the harbour was the Perseverance in 1813, in search of flax trading possibilities, with the first European settlers arriving in 1823 or 1824.

This is the foundation for the claim that Bluff is the oldest permanent European settlement in the country. However, the missionary settlement at Kerikeri was both earlier and larger. The town was officially called Campbelltown in 1856, became a borough in 1878, and was renamed Bluff in 1917.

Geography

Bluff is  by road from Invercargill, and the southern terminus of the Bluff Branch, the continuation from Invercargill of the Main South Line. This was one of New Zealand's earliest railways, opening on 5 February 1867.

Bluff is at the end of a peninsula that forms the western side of Bluff Harbour and Awarua Bay, with the port located in the relatively narrow entrance channel. It is on State Highway 1, which terminates one kilometre to the south of the town at Stirling Point. At Stirling Point, there is "the town's biggest tourist attraction", a signpost showing the distance and direction to various major cities and locations around the world, including the Equator and the South Pole. The signpost was corrected in late 2018, after a Scottish tourist pointed out in 2017 that there were some errors.

Bluff is dominated by Bluff Hill / Motupōhue (standing at ), which provides some shelter from the prevailing westerly winds. There is a path along the shore through native bush up to this point. The town is named for this bluff, which was known to early whalers as Old Man's Bluff or Old Man Bluff. East across the entry channel from Bluff is Tiwai Point, home to New Zealand's only aluminium smelter and its wharf. Alumina is shipped from Australia and electricity is supplied by the Manapouri Power Station in Fiordland National Park.

A chain sculpture on the coast near Bluff symbolises the Māori belief that Stewart Island is anchored to South Island; a similar sculpture in Rakiura National Park represents the other end of the chain.

Demographics
Bluff covers  and had an estimated population of  as of  with a population density of  people per km2.

Bluff had a population of 1,797 at the 2018 New Zealand census, a decrease of 6 people (−0.3%) since the 2013 census, and unchanged since the 2006 census. There were 780 households. There were 918 males and 879 females, giving a sex ratio of 1.04 males per female. The median age was 47.3 years (compared with 37.4 years nationally), with 330 people (18.4%) aged under 15 years, 228 (12.7%) aged 15 to 29, 858 (47.7%) aged 30 to 64, and 381 (21.2%) aged 65 or older.

Ethnicities were 77.6% European/Pākehā, 46.4% Māori, 6.2% Pacific peoples, 1.3% Asian, and 1.5% other ethnicities (totals add to more than 100% since people could identify with multiple ethnicities).

The proportion of people born overseas was 6.0%, compared with 27.1% nationally.

Although some people objected to giving their religion, 54.9% had no religion, 32.7% were Christian, 0.2% were Hindu, 0.2% were Muslim, 0.5% were Buddhist and 2.0% had other religions.

Of those at least 15 years old, 102 (7.0%) people had a bachelor or higher degree, and 528 (36.0%) people had no formal qualifications. The median income was $30,500, compared with $31,800 nationally. 189 people (12.9%) earned over $70,000 compared to 17.2% nationally. The employment status of those at least 15 was that 726 (49.5%) people were employed full-time, 228 (15.5%) were part-time, and 45 (3.1%) were unemployed.

Economy

South Port is the port operating company of the Port of Bluff, and is owned to 66.5% by the Southland Regional Council. A small port in comparison with New Zealand giants like Ports of Auckland or Port of Tauranga, it moves around 2.2 million tonnes of cargo each year, mostly New Zealand coastal reshipment. The Tiwai Point aluminium smelter and fossil fuel exploration activity in the Great South Basin may ensure the future relevance of the port. A recent (2008) weekly container ship service also lifted the volumes.

In July 2020, Rio Tinto announced closure of the aluminium smelter in August 2021, after which discussions were initiated on how to utilize the energy generated in Manapouri.

Bluff Harbour is the terminus for the twice-daily catamaran ferry to Stewart Island / Rakiura,  south across Foveaux Strait. It is the main gateway for New Zealand ships heading down to the Antarctic. The harbour is home to the Foveaux Strait oyster fleet. Bluff oysters are renowned for their succulence and flavour, and are considered a delicacy nationwide, with Bluff holding an annual oyster festival. The oyster quota was severely reduced during the 1990s due to the effects of the toxic protozoan parasite Bonamia exitiosa upon the oyster beds.

The Bluff Branch (formerly the Invercargill-Bluff Railway)) was the first railway line in Otago and Southland.

Culture
Te Rau Aroha marae is located at Bluff. It is a marae (meeting ground) for the Awarua Rūnanga branch of Ngāi Tahu, and includes the Tahu Potiki wharenui.

Attractions

The town previously included the Paua House, created by Fred and Myrtle Flutey. This was an ordinary bungalow transformed by having the outside walls totally covered in paua shells. The interior was also extensively decorated with paua and there is an extensive collection of (often kitsch) paua-decorated ornaments, utensils and trinkets.

The house became a museum after the death of the owners, but was sold and in March 2007 the exhibits removed to Christchurch. It has been on permanent display at the Canterbury Museum since July 2008.

The Bluff Maritime Museum contains an extensive collection of models, boats, artefacts, displays, a working triple expansion engine and a full sized oystering boat, the Monica.

Education

Bluff School is a state full primary school serving years 1 to 8 with a roll of  students as of  The school opened in 1867.

St Teresa's School is a state-integrated Catholic school serving years 1 to 8 with a roll of  students. It has been operating since at least 1901.

Strødam Naturreservat er et fondsejet skovområde i vestenden af Gribskov, sydvest for Gadevang i Nordsjælland. Reservatet, der blev fredet i 1925, er lukket for offentligheden, men stilles til rådighed for videnskabelige undersøgelser efter godkendelse af Strødamudvalget. Reservatet er på 160 hektar, hvoraf ca. 100 ha er dækket af skov. Dele af skoven har ligget hen uden indgreb siden fredningen og er dermed et af de naturskovsarealer i Danmark, der længst har ligget urørt hen.

Urørt skov har indtil for nylig været en sjældenhed i danske skove. Når skoven, som i Strødamreservatet, får lov til at ligge urørt hen, sker der gradvis en udvikling, hvorved den biologiske mangfoldighed øges. Antallet af arter af insekter, svampe, planter og dyr øges, da muligheden for at finde egnede levesteder øges i takt med forfaldet i skoven.

Landskabet
Naturen i Strødamreservatet er meget varieret med et bakket terræn der skråner ned mod Pøleå. Lavningerne i terrænet henligger som mose eller eng, nogle steder er der anlagt damme. Mod vest strækker et småbakket overdrev sig helt frem til Strødam Engsø. Både i skoven og ude i det åbne land er der mindre partier med væld. Jorden er generelt sandet-gruset og jordbunden de fleste steder en mager muldbund, men der er også partier med en mere næringsrig bund.

Kulturhistorie
Den danske finans- og industrimand Carl Frederik Tietgen byggede i 1873 byggede en lystgård med tilhørende park og skov, ejendommen, Strødam. Den har siden 1949 været ejet af Jarlfonden, bortset fra bygningerne, som efterfølgende er solgt fra.

Strødamudvalget, som  er nedsat af Københavns Universitets Naturvidenskabelige Fakultet Københavns Universitets  Natur- og Biovidenskabelige Fakultet, har til opgave at rådgive Jarlfonden om skovens drift på en sådan måde, at det i overensstemmelse med de pålagte servitutter kan tjene som reservat for det nordsjællandske dyre- og planteliv og som forsøgsområde for botaniske og zoologiske studier.

Strødam ligger i Nationalpark Kongernes Nordsjælland og er en del af Natura 2000-område nr. 133 Gribskov, Esrum Sø og Snævret Skov

Le  au Colston Avenue à Carshalton, l'Île de Man à remporté sa seconde rencontre face à l'îlam tamoul 2-0. Le  au Coles Park à Tottenham, l'île de Man a perdu sa dernière rencontre face à Brava 0-2.

Controverses : Après la fin de la phase de groupes, l'Île de Man a protesté contre le fait que la sélection de Barawa ait pu remplacer son équipe après le début du tournoi, apparemment en contradiction avec les règles du tournoi. L'ajout du joueur, Mohamed Bettamer, un ancien international libyen, a été autorisé par la ConIFA, qui a déclaré que c'était un changement de règle, mais qui n'a pas informé les 15 autres équipes de la compétition, qui avaient soumis leurs propres listes d'effectif selon le livre de règles publié avant le tournoi. L'Île de Man a lancé un appel contre la mise en service d'un joueur apparemment inéligible par l'équipe de Brava, qui, lors d'une première réunion du comité du tournoi, a été confirmée, avant d'être annulée par la suite. En conséquence, l'Île de Man s'est retiré du reste du tournoi, et le Tibet, son adversaire du premier tour de classement, s'est vu attribuer une victoire 3-0. Leur place dans les installations restantes ont été prises par la sélection de l'Archipel des Chagos. Le , une réunion du Comité exécutif de la ConIFA a décidé d'expulser provisoirement la Manx Independent Football Alliance de l'organisation, sous réserve de ratification lors de l'Assemblée générale annuelle de .

جنو‌سنس توزيعة من نظام التشغيل جنو\لينكس تتضمن حصرا برمجيات حرة، مبنية على أوبونتو، وهي تسعى للحفاظ على يسر الاستخدام إلا أن جميع الأكواد الثنائية والبرمجية غير الحرة أزيلت منها.

لفظ اسم التوزيعة گنوسِنْس دمج صوتي وتلاعب على لفظ كلمة جنو، اسم الرخصة ومشروع البرمجيات الحرة، والكلمة الإنجليزية «نو» new التي تعني «جديد»

تتيع جنوسنس منهجا صارما فيما يتعلق باستبعاد البرمجيات غير الحرة، فمثلا كل الوثائق التي تحوي إرشادات لتنصيب برمجيات غير حرة قد أزيلت من التوزيعة. أطلق مشروع التوزيعة بريان برازيل وبول أومَلي في 2006، وفي أمتبور 2006 بعد إصدارتها 0.85 تلقت عونا من منظمة البرمجيات الحرة FSF.

أوجه المحدودية
لإنشاء جنوسنس أزيلت من نواة لينكس المستخدمة في أوبونتو التي تعتمد عليها هذه التوزيعة أكثر من مئة برمجية ثابتة، بعضها يتعلق بتشغيل بطاقات الإثرنت اللاسلكية لذا كان دعم جنوسنس لموائمات الشبكات اللاسلكية أقل من توزيعات جنو\لينكس الأخرى.

جوانب تقنية
تستخدم توزيعة جنوسنس افتراضياَ بيئة سطح المكتب جنوم وهي المعتمدة من قبل مشروع جنو، كما تتوافر لها كدي.

يمكن باستخدام المُنَصِّب أُبِكْوِتِي تنصيب التوزيعة على القرص الصلب من القرص الحي بلا حاجة لإعادة تشغيل الحاسوب قبل التنصيب.

إلى جانب أدوات النظام القياسية والتطبيقات الصغيرة تأتي جنوسنس منصباً عليها الحزمات البرمجية التالية: الحزمة المكتبية أوبن‌أوفيس ومتصفح الإنترنت إبفني، وعميل التراسل الفوري بدجن وبرمجية تحرير الصور جيمب، كما تود أدوات تطوير البرمجيات الشائعة مثل GCC ومحرر النصوص إماكس.

التنصيب
مثل أوبونتو التي بنيت عليها يمكن استخدام توزيعة جنوسنس من القرص الحي مباشرة اكما يمكن تنصيبها على الحاسوب. صور القرص المدمج الحي متاحة للتنزيل من موقع المشروع.

مقارنة بالتوزيعات الأخرى
مستودعات البرمجيات غير الحرة ليست متضمنة في مشروع جنوسنس، كما أزيلت منها الأعمال النية والوثائق غير المنشورة برخص حرة، كما يُفعَّلُ فيها مستودع حزم أوبونتو المعنون "universe" بدئيا.

و لأجل تلافي مشكلات العلامات التجارية الناجمة عن تعديل ماركة فيرفكس فقد أعيد تقديمه باسم تجاري مختلف هو BurningDog برننغ دوغ أي «الكلب الملتهب»، كما عُدِّل بحيث لا يقترح على المستخدم تنصيب أي ملحقات غير حر لمعالجة الوسائط، مثل ملحقة فلاش التي تنتجها أدوبي، التي يمكن استخدام البديل الحر لها جناش.

و عند مقارنته بتوزيعة جنو/لينكس أخرى هي دبيان المعروفة بصرامتها فيما يتعلق بتراخيص البرمجيات فإن جنوسنس تستبعد برمجيات تتضمنها دبيان (مثل البرمجيات الثابتة غير الحرة) كما أن جنوسنس لا تُضمِّن مستودعات برمجيات غير حرة بينما تتضمن دبيان بعضها. إلا أنه تنبغي ملاحظة أن سياسة جنوسنس تسمح بتضمين وثائق لا تعدها دبيان حرةً، وتحديدا تلك المنشورة برخصة جنو للوثائق الحرة التي تتضمن أقسام جامدة، وهو ما ينطبق على كثير من الوثائق المنشورة في مشروع جنو ذاته، التي تتضمن بيانا مطولا بدعو إلى البرمجيات الحرة في قسم جامد.

توجد توزيعة أخرى هي سوبرأوإس SuperOS مبنية على أوبونتو تهدف إلى أكبر قدر من التيسير وتضمين كل ما يمكن أن يحتاجه المستخدم بما في ذلك برمجيات غير حرة.

Der Anzac Highway ist eine Hauptverkehrsstraße im Südwesten der Stadt Adelaide im Zentrum des australischen Bundesstaates South Australia. Er verbindet den an der Küste gelegenen Vorort Glenelg mit dem Stadtzentrum.

Die früher als Bay Road bekannte Straße wurde zu Ehren des Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC), das im Ersten Weltkrieg in Europa gekämpft hatte, benannt. Zunächst hieß die Straße Adelaide Road, da es die Straßenverbindung vom ersten Anlandeplatz des Gouverneurs zur vorgeschlagenen Stelle der zu gründenden Hauptstadt Adelaide war.

Auf dem Highway fahren die Buslinien 262, 263 und 265 im 15-Minuten-Takt.

Kreuzung mit der South Road

Der Kreuzung mit der South Road (A13) wurde im Rahmen einer Initiative der Staatsregierung zum Umbau der South Road in eine kreuzungsfreie Nord-Süd-Verbindung grundlegend umgestaltet.

Die South Road wurde unter dem Anzac Highway hindurchgeführt und mit Ein- und Ausfahrten an den Anzac Highway angeschlossen. Der Bau begann im Oktober 2007, im März 2009 war die Unterführung fertig und Ende 2009 waren die Arbeiten abgeschlossen.

Passend zum Namen "Anzac Highway" wurde die Unterführung Gallipoli Underpass genannt und an allen Ein- und Ausfahrten wurden Erinnerungsstücke an die australischen Soldaten, die im Ersten Weltkrieg kämpften, angebracht.

Leonti Mroveli (gruz. ლეონტი მროველი) bio je gruzijski ljetopisac iz 11. stoljeća, vjerojatno crkveni. Mroveli mu nije prezime, već pridjev za biskupiju Ruisi, čiji je biskup vjerojatno bio. Stoga je još jedna moderna engleska transliteracija njegovog imena Leonti iz Ruisija.

Kada se izuzmu bilješke iz rukopisa Gruzijske kronike, nadbiskup Ruisija po imenu Leonti spominje se samo tri puta: jednom u rukopisu sa Svete Gore iz 11. stoljeća; jednom u prijevodu Eufemija Atonskog Zlatoustova komentara svetom Mateju; i, najkonkretnije, na natpisu iz 1066. iz špilje Trehvi u središnjoj Gruziji. Pretpostavke da je Leonti Mroveli pripadao osmom ili ranom desetom stoljeću sada se čine nevjerojatnima. Ovaj Mroveli više nije zauzimao tu dužnost 1103. godine, jer ne svjedoči činu gruzijske crkvene sinode koju je kralj David IV. sazvao u Ruisiju i susjednoj katedrali u Urbnisiju. Neki povjesničari pripisuju Leontiju nekoliko dijelova srednjovjekovnog zbornika gruzijskih kronika, dok ga drugi smatraju samo sastavljačem ranijih tekstova. U svakom slučaju, Leonti Mroveli kao kroničar prebacio je ravnotežu gruzijske književnosti s crkvene na svjetovnu.
