El hombre del traje gris

El hombre del traje gris (The man in the grey suit), is the sixth studio album of the Spanish singer-songwriter Joaquín Sabina, released in 1988, one year after Hotel, dulce hotel, his previous studio release. This album was recorded in the Eurosonic studios of Madrid.

Background

In this sixth studio album, Sabina counted on the executive production of his longtime friend Pancho Varona, who had also participated in the production of his previous record. Another collaborator who took part in the production of this album was Antonio García de Diego, who would also intervene in Sabina's future albums. After the smashing success of "Hotel dulce hotel", the performer started following the creative direction taken by that album and started writing songs more intensively. Pancho Varona and Sabina went to the Portuguese island of Madeira in order to find inspiration for his new songs, but disappointed by the general atmosphere in that place, which made them unable to start working, they decided to go to Las Palmas.

Style and production

In "El hombre del traje gris", Joaquín Sabina started showing a darker and more nostalgic side, in fact, except from some exceptions, the most of the songs reflect feelings of loneliness, sadness, languor and lethargy. A clear example of those feelings shown in this release is the first song extracted as maxi single, entitled "Eva tomando el sol" (Eva having a sunbath), a melancholic ballad in which Sabina remembers a brief love story during his exile years in London, a story in which the singer gives some details about their daily lives with some references to the Adan and Eva passage of the Bible.

The following single was the hit song "Una de romanos" (A film about Roman soldiers),Roman Empire. The popularity of this song was so high that, as happened with the previous album, it was recorded a promotional video.

The next maxi single was by far, the most popular track of this album, which had the title of "¿Quién me ha robado el mes de abril?" (Who has stolen the month of April?)


El hombre del traje gris

The fourth single from this album was the song "Rap del optimista" (The rap of the optimistic guy). This song, which is the ending track of the album, had a much more cheerful tone in comparison with the rest of the tracklist.

As an interesting fact, some of the songs of this album were used in the soundtrack of the film "Sinatra", directed by Paco Betríu and starred by Alfredo Landa. Sabina also made a short cameo appearance in this film.

Munn was the only coach to beat Notre Dame head coach Frank Leahy three years in a row (1950–1952).

Munn developed the "Wingback Deep" formation of his formula "Michigan State Multiple Offense." The play featured a shifting back and forth between a T-formation and a single-wing formation with a direct snap to the tailback between a T-formation quarterback's legs.

On the Michigan State dressing room wall, Munn hung a statement on fundamentals that his players were required to read before every home game: "Do not cheat your team or your teammates. Know your plays. Block. Protect. Add to what we are trying to do. [signed] Biggie."

During the latter part of his coaching career, Munn developed the talents of Willie Thrower, the Big Ten's first black quarterback. In 1953 with the Chicago Bears, Thrower became the first black quarterback to play in the National Football League.

El hombre de los hongos

El hombre de los hongos (English: The Man of the Mushrooms) is a 1976 Mexican drama film based on the novel of the same name by Sergio Galindo.

Synopsis

The story unfolds in a family of rich landowners from the colonial era, which owns a sugar plantation on the edge of the jungle. While hunting in the forest one day, the father, Don Everardo, discovers a young black orphan by the river. He brings the child to his mansion and call him Gaspar. Friendly and intelligent, the boy quickly becomes a new member of the family. He plays with his son, Sebastian, and his two daughters, Emma and Lucilla, as if they were his own siblings. The family occasionally have lavish receptions, with fine dining. One of Don Everardo's favorite mushroom dishes is prepared with an old family recipe from Spain. The family discovers if the mushrooms are edible by making a servant eat a few first. If the servant collapses and dies, then the family does not serve mushrooms to the party.

The family has another flirtation with danger: They keep a black panther called Toy chained in the main courtyard. From time to time it is released and chases people.

Some years pass, and Gaspar grows into a handsome young man, and Lucila and Emma become beautiful women. They go into the woods hiking and swimming in the river. But the play of children has become flirtations, especially among young Gaspar and Emma. Along the way, Gaspar reveals his knowledge of different species of mushrooms that grow in the forest. There is also an incestuous relationship between Sebastian and Lucila, who want to leave the hacienda and go to the capital city where they can meet people of their own age.

The family unit falls apart when Emma and Elvira compete for the attentions of Gaspar. Elvira's flirtations with Gaspar provoke the jealousy of her husband and daughter Emma. One night someone mysteriously releases the panther and it attacks Elvira after her failed attempt to seduce Gaspar.


El hombre de los hongos

When Lucila takes the place of her mother, she informs Don Everardo about the affair of his daughter Emma with the black servant Gaspar. He decides to make him his new "man of the mushrooms". But no one has the knowledge of Gaspar on mushrooms, and a lavish party at the farm will become a circus when Emma and Gaspar take advantage of the mushrooms to get rid of the rest of their own family and escape together. But once in the forest, Gaspar suddenly disappears...

Bosstown Sound

The advertisement that opened the Bosstown Sound marketing campaign.

The Bosstown Sound (or Boston Sound) was the catchphrase of a marketing campaign to promote psychedelic rock and psychedelic pop bands in Boston, Massachusetts, in the late 1960s. The concept was conceived by the record producer Alan Lorber as a marketing strategy intended to establish several underground musical artists native to the city on the national charts and compete with the popular San Francisco Sound. Lorber chose Boston for his plan because of the several bands developing in the city, the abundance of music venues (such as the Boston Tea Party), and the proximity of MGM Records, which had signed the core groups.

The Bosstown Sound was promoted as harnessing the hallucinogenic essence of psychedelia, also known at the time as acid rock. Numerous bands were involved, but the groups Ultimate Spinach, the Beacon Street Union, and Orpheus were the most prominent. The Boston music scene briefly captured the interest of the youth culture, and recordings by bands from Boston achieved positions on the Billboard 200 chart. However, by the end of 1969, the campaign faltered, its advertisements rejected by listeners. Critics panned the groups involved, and few of the Bosstown bands survived after the scene collapsed. Opinions are still mixed, but the music of these bands has received more positive assessments in recent years.

History

Pre-scene

Prior to the Bosstown Sound, Boston had a burgeoning garage rock scene with bands such as the Remains, the Rising Storm, Teddy and the Pandas, and the Rockin' Ramrods at the forefront.proto-punk teen band the Barbarians, who reached the Billboard Hot 100 twice with the singles "Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl" and "Moulty".album Basic Magnetism, by Teddy and the Pandas.record labels often associated with a developing rock scene.folk scene which was led by key figures like Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Mimi Farina. Their influences later emerged in the music by mainstay Bosstown bands Orpheus and Earth Opera.


Bosstown Sound

What became the genesis of the Bosstown Sound is said to exist, at least in rudimentary form, as early as June 1967, when journalist Mel Lyman's first issue of Avatar was pressed. His newspaper carried an advertisement promoting a scheduled event, headlined by two of Boston's earliest psychedelic rock bands, Ill Wind and the Hallucinations, at the Boston Tea Party.the Velvet Underground, the Peanut Butter Conspiracy, and Lothar and the Hand People—became frequent attractions.Boston After Dark: "[It] occurred on March 15, 1968, when, as the staid WBCN audience sat listening to its usual Muzak, the voice of Frank Zappa asked, 'Are you hung up?' and Cream launched into 'I Feel Free'. That was the beginning of the American Revolution, a daily seven-hour program originating from the dressing room of the Tea Party. The combination of providing an established performance setting and radio exposure made the Tea Party a gig second in importance only to the Fillmore".the Psychedelic Supermarket, the Crosstown Bus, the Catacombs, and the Unicorn.

"The Sound Heard Around the World"

Record producer Alan Lorber materialized a concept to congregate several progressive Boston bands, and promote them as a new unique music scene, in a similar fashion that led to the birth of the San Francisco Sound.Bosstown Sound 1968 - The Music and Time, Lorber wrote Boston was a logical epicenter for his marketing plan "since it was a place for new and progressive music forms from the folk days, and had an exceptionally strong initial sales potential in the 250,000 college students in residence in Boston's 250 colleges and universities". Lorber also mentioned that Boston "had a large number of performance clubs where artists could develop before touring nationally. There were many pop music college and commercial radio stations which could expose the new product on a grass-roots level".MGM Records agreed to showcase the bands Lorber signed. Conviently, the company's studio was situated in New York City, making it easier for Lorber to manage and record several groups.


Bosstown Sound

Another important figure in the Bosstown Sound was Dick Summer, one of Boston's most popular deejays, who worked at that time for WBZ (AM).WMEX Radio in May 1969, and he continued to play the Boston Sound bands.Billboard magazine that read: "The Sound Heard Around the World; Boston!!".Ultimate Spinach (better known as Underground Cinema prior to the album), Beacon Street Union, and Orpheus had their debut albums released on the MGM label.

The anticipation of the Bosstown Sound's debut to the record-buying public generated a booming market for Boston-based bands. Beacon Street Union's The Eyes of the Beacon Street Union charted at number 75 on the Billboard 200, and Orpheus's self-titled debut reached number 119.Richie Unterberger notes they were "sentimental pop writers at heart" reminiscent of the Association, rather than the psychedelic bands that comprised much of the Sound. Later benefiting from their more commercially accessible sound, Orpheus was among the few Bosstown bands to have a single ("can't Find The Time" in 1968 and 1969, since covered by the Rose Colored Glass and by Hootie and the Blowfish, and the minor 1969 hit "Brown Arms in Houston") chart on the Billboard Hot 100.debut effort, which peaked at number 35 and sold approximately 110,000 copies in 1968. Despite sharp criticism from music critics upon release, over time, the album, now regarded as an acid rock classic, has become a cult favorite among psychedelic aficionados and is the highlight of the Bosstown Sound.

Following in the trend set by the first three Bosstown groups on their label, MGM Records released other material by local groups such as Chamaeleon Church and Kangeroo.Elektra Records and ABC Records signed their own assortment of bands native to the city.Jimi Hendrix-inspired album in 1968 that charted in the Billboard 200 at 196.Apple Pie Motherhood Band deviated from the psychedelic sound, recording two LPs that incorporated an assortment of bluesy originals and covers.the Freeborne recorded the album Peak Impressions, an ambitious, but somewhat unpredictable, piece that experimented with a variety of instruments.Listening recorded a self-titled album in late-1968, which encompassed performances by former Velvet Underground bassist Walter Powers and guitarist Peter Malick.the Tangerine Zoo, the Art of Lovin', and Ill Wind.

Decline and reception


Bosstown Sound

Decline and reception

Almost immediately following the success of the Bosstown Sound campaign, music critics began to comment on the apparent lack of originality of some of the bands. Another issue discussed was the diversity among Boston's musical artists, which brought to question whether there was an actual effort to create a unified scene or a manufactured attempt to cash in on the popularity of psychedelia.Paul Williams, writing for Crawdaddy!, homed in on the concern: "[T]here isn't any common consciousness in the Boston rock scene -- there isn't even any Boston rock scene. There are good groups coming out of that area but there isn't the spiritual unity that San Francisco had".Jazz & Pop article remarked that "the sound doesn't exist except in the head of Alan Lorber".Rolling Stone magazine questioned "whether or not there is anything lying beneath the hype", describing the Boston groups as pretentious and boring.Newsweek, attempted to defend the scene, saying a sense of unity was found in "subdued, artful electronic sound, an insistence on clear, understandable lyrics, the spice of dissonance and the infusion of classical textures".

By early 1969, nearly all the Bosstown groups had either disbanded or disappeared from the public view as a consequence of media and youth culture backlash. Ultimate Spinach barely managed to chart at number 198 with their album Behold & See, which noticeably lacked the organ-driven instrumentals that were featured on their debut.Ultimate Spinach III', but directionless, in 1969 with an almost completely reconstructed lineup.The Clown Died in Marvin Gardens was plagued by the Sound's negative stigma, and only reached number 175.

In the aftermath of the Bosstown Sound, reviews remain mixed, but critics have begun to describe the scene in a better light. In 1988, Rolling Stone magazine, while reevaluating the Sound, conceded it was perhaps "easier to put down Ultimate Spinach and the other Boston groups than it had been to like them".J. Geils, Aerosmith, and The Cars".

In 1996, Big Beat Records released the compilation album Bosstown Sound, 1968: The Music & the Time, which included an assortment of Bosstown and pre-scene bands.Best of the Bosstown Sound followed with a more condensed track listing.

First Charter Bank

First Charter Bank (NASDAQ: FCTR), a subsidiary of First Charter Corporation,bank headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. From its 1888 founding as Concord National Bank until its 2001 move to Charlotte, the bank was headquartered in Concord, North Carolina. The bank became part of Fifth Third Bank in 2008.

History

Textile companies in Concord, North Carolina such as Cannon Mills needed a bank, and while they had the money to start it, they needed someone to run it. Daniel Branson Coltrane, a Confederate veteran who served with J.E.B. Stuart in the Civil War, returned to North Carolina in 1888, and Concord National Bank opened in July

In 1925, Concord National Bank moved to the newly built Hotel Concord.

Bob Bratton became Chief Financial Officer of Concord National Bank in 1977, serving in that position until 2005. He played a major role in the bank's evolution as it changed its name to First Charter Bank and acquired Bank of Union, Carolina State Bank, Home Federal Savings, Carolina First BancShares, ten insurance agencies and Southeastern Employee Benefit Services.

The bank's operation center located in the former Cabarrus Theater, an art deco building built in 1939.

In 1984, Concord National Bank merged with Citizens National Bank, founded in 1905 and also in Concord. The name change to First Charter, since Concord National was the state's first chartered bank, took place at that time.

On December 1, 1998, First Charter broke ground on a $35 million operations center in the UNC-Charlotte area, intended for as many as 800 employees. The headquarters, however, remained in Concord.

After buying Home Federal Savings in Charlotte, First Charter renamed that bank's seven-story building but later moved its branch across the street to the Johnston Building. The Home Savings building closed but later reopened with new owners.

In a deal valued at $260 million, on November 8, 1999, First Charter Corporation agreed to buy Carolina First BancShares of Lincolnton, North Carolina, owner of Lincoln Bank of North Carolina, Cabarrus Bank of North Carolina and Community Bank and Trust, with assets of $774 million and 31 offices.

First Charter began moving to its new $40 million University Research Park headquarters in February 2001.


First Charter Bank

In January 2006, First Charter opened three branches, its first in the North Carolina's Triangle, in former SouthTrust locations closed after that bank's purchase by Wachovia. Also, First Charter planned 24 ATMs in Food Lion grocery stores. By 2010, First Charter hoped to have 10 Triangle branches.

On August 16, 2007, Fifth Third Bank announced its purchase of First Charter.Southeastern United States, adding to its Georgia branches and giving it an entry into the Charlotte market and the Carolinas.

Cold River Bridge (Langdon, New Hampshire)

The Cold River Bridge, also known as McDermott Bridge, is a historic wooden covered bridge spanning the Cold River near Crane Brook Road in Langdon, New Hampshire, USA. Built in 1869, it is one of the state's few surviving 19th-century covered bridges. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

Description and history

The Cold River Bridge is located in a rural setting in eastern Langdon, spanning the Cold River just to the east of Crane Brook Road, which it used to carry. The bridge is 81 feet (25 m) long and 16 feet (4.9 m) wide, with a roadway width of just over 12 feet (3.7 m). It is a single-span modified Town lattice truss with a reinforcing laminated arch, set on stone abutments. It is covered by a metal roof and its sides are sheathed in vertical board siding. The portals are flanked by vertical siding, and the gable above is filled with horizontal siding. The bridge has been fastened by metal cables to the adjacent modern bridge.

The bridge is believed to be the fourth standing on this site. The town's records mention payments for construction of one bridge in 1789, with replacements in 1814 and 1840. The 1840 bridge was destroyed by a flood in October 1869.

In a review for All About Jazz, Nic Jones wrote: "A real mark of this disc is the degree of difference between the surface of the music and what lies beneath it. With that in mind, it can almost serve as background in the sense of being complementary to some activity other than listening itself—but deeper listening reveals the work of a fierce musical intelligence, however, and is by far the preferable alternative."

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings awarded the album a full 4 stars, noting that Schweizer's solo recitals have "deepen[ed] in resonance and technical surety." They stated: "Schweizer has learned how to make absence and silence work; they're used sparingly but to tremendous effect... Great sound."

Hayagriva Upanishad

Hayagriva Upanishad or Hayagrivopanishad (Sanskrit: हयग्रीव उपनिषद्) is one of 108 Upanishad, written in Sanskrit language. It is a minor Upanishad, dedicated to Hayagriva – the horse-faced avatar of the god Vishnu.Vaishnava sect, which worships Vishnu, and is associated with the Atharvaveda.

In a Telugu language anthology of 108 Upanishads of the Muktika in the modern era, narrated by Rama to Hanuman, it is listed at number 100.Bibliotheca Indica anthology of popular Upanishads in south India by Narayana.

The Hayagriva Upanishad presents mantras to know the nature of the supreme reality Brahman.

Date

The composition date of the text is unknown. Given the Vishnu avatar-oriented sectarian nature, and the description of tantric mantras in the text, it is likely a relatively late Upanishad. Sectarian Upanishads with tantra mantras were likely composed after the 10th century, states Douglas Brooks.Patrick Olivelle states that sectarian Upanishads attached to Atharvaveda were likely composed in the 2nd-millennium, until about the 16th century.

Name

The word Hayagriva means "horse necked".Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.

Hayagriva refers to a horse-themed avatar, also known as Ashvamukha, Ashvasirsa and Hayashirsa. In one legend, Hayagriva is the persistent horse who brought back the Vedas from asuras Madhu and Kaitabha who stole them, during the mythical battle between good and evil – a battle described in the Mahabharata.Matsya (fish) avatar, a story presented in the Bhagavata Purana.Devi-Bhagavata Purana, Vishnu appears in a hybrid human-body, horse-headed form called Hiyagriva who battles and kills a horse-like demon also named Hiyagriva.Hayagriva Upanishad, the term refers to half-human horse-headed Vishnu avatar who is the teacher of humanity.

Hayagriva Upanishad

Content

The Hayagriva Upanishad has 20 verses and is divided into two chapters. It is narrated as a sermon by the god Brahma to sage Narada. The text opens with an invocation to the god Vishnu, Indra, Garuda, the Sun, and Brihaspati are also invoked for welfare of all.

Narada asks Brahma to grant him the knowledge of Brahman, which saves one from sins and grants spiritual and material wealth. Brahma declares that one who "masters" the mantras of Hayagriva learns the wisdom of the scriptures Shrutis ("heard knowledge"), Smritis (memorized knowledge), Itihasas (Hindu epics, literally "history"), and Puranas and is bestowed with wealth. Brahma then starts narrating the various mantras that are used in Hayagriva's worship.

The first mantra salutes Hayagriva as Vishnu, the ruler of knowledge. He is praised beyond the material universe and as a saviour. The second mantra identifies Hayagriva as the manifestation of the three Vedas — Rigveda, Yajurveda and Samaveda — and Om. He is, asserts the text, the symbol of all Vedas, the teacher of everything. Hayagriva is described to be radiant like the moon and holds a shankha (conch), chakra (discus) and a book in his three hands, while the fourth makes the maha-mudra hand gesture. The 29-syllabled mantra (Om srim hlaum om namo bhagavate hayagrivaya vishnave mahyam medham prajnam prayaccha svaha) and 28-syllable mantra (Om srim hrim aim aim aim klim klim sauh sauh hrim om namo bhagavate hayagrivaya mahyam medham prajnam prayaccha svaha) are then told, ending the first chapter.


Hayagriva Upanishad

The second chapter begins with Brahma telling about the one-syllable mantra (bija) of Hayagriva: Lhoum.Amritam kuru kuru svaha, asserts the text, grants control over words, wealth and the eight siddhis. Another mantra Lhoum sakala-samrajyena siddhim kuru kuru svaha through which, claims the text, in life the reciter gains pleasures and after death, salvation. This helps one realize the true spiritual meanings of the Vedic maxims (Mahavakya):

  * Prajnanam Brahma (Brahman is wisdom),
  * Tat tvam asi (You are that)",
  * Ayam atma brahma (My soul is Brahman),
  * Aham Brahmasmi (I am Brahman).

Four supplementary Vedic mantras are then recited, which are "Yad Vak Vadanthi ...", "Gowrimimaya...", "Oshtapidhana ..." and "Sa Sarpareeramathim ...".

In tradition of Upanishads, the Hayagriva Upanishad ends by mentioning the merits of the text. The canon declares that one who recites the Hayagriva Upanishad on ekadashi (11th lunar day, which is sacred to Vishnu) would be blessed with Hayagriva's grace and attain salvation. The text ends with a prayer that this knowledge of the Brahman may remain with the devotee.
