    AIAC – A Look Into Planetary Death Places - III ©Ancient Indian Astrology Classes Page 1 AIAC – A Look Into Planetary Death Places - III Case Studies Mars in the 7 th . House – The karaka of the 7H is Venus and the house signifies marriage and partnership. The natural seventh sign is Libra which deals with equality (in marriage) and balance. Mars is the karaka of the 6H of celibacy and service. In the 7H, it will bring in ego and battles. War is fine with enemies but not in marriage. Adjustment is the key to a successful marriage and ego has no place in this house. Mars is the planet of individuality, the primary significator of Agni Tattwa. Mars being in 7H, the person’s adjustment capabilities will surely be questioned. The ripples of such a placement of Mars will be felt in the houses whose karaka is Mars – 3H, 6H. One has to carefully note a few points before he/she reaches any conclusion on planetary death places. The points are mentioned below – 1) Shadbala of planets 2) Association of benefics, malefic, lagna lord, Moon and Sun 3) Aspects – malefic aspects only will create havoc, if unaspected or benefic(s) aspect then there will be no/negligible damage to the karakwatta of the planet Mars in 7H Cases Case I – Clint Eastwood In case of Clint Eastwood, Mars is placed in maranasthana in mooltrikona sign of Aries with Rahu. The karaka of 7H Venus is with Jupiter in the 9H. Relationship problems related to adjustment issues will surface in his life and there will invariably be separation from spouse, if married.

  • Bassist Kyle Eastwood's Songs from the Chateau
    BASSIST KYLE EASTWOOD’S SONGS FROM THE CHATEAU, SET FOR AUGUST 30 RELEASE ON RENDEZVOUS MUSIC “Eastwood’s music is all about style.” – Jazzwise “Thoughtful, contemplative, admirably understated and highly listenable.” – Evening Standard Today, Kyle Eastwood is less and less known as the son of Clint Eastwood and more of a universally respected musician and leader in his own right. A virtuoso bassist on electric and upright, as well as a talented composer with a keen ear for great tunes as well as the subtleties of modern jazz, he is right at the forefront of the contemporary scene, having chosen to immerse himself in the music he loves. Dynamic and pulsing, full of swing, great rhythms and memorable melodies, Songs From The Chateau is Eastwood’s fourth US effort on Rendezvous Music (licensed from Candid Records—one of the leading independent jazz labels in the UK). With this new album Eastwood set out to capture the sounds and energy with which his band regularly tours the world to sellout crowds. When he is not on tour Eastwood spends much of his time between Paris, where he has lived on and off for five years, and Los Angeles and is very much at home in France; Eastwood’s preceding release on Rendezvous, Metropolitain, was also recorded in France, so it was natural to look there for an ideal place where he and his musicians could relax for a few days and allow their creative juices to flow. Such a place turned out to be the fabulous 15th Century Couronneau in Ligueux, deep in classic Bordeaux country, and Songs From The Chateau was born.

She dedicates every song she writes to causes that move her..."-NPR “…Pretty melodies and spiritually uplifting anthems.”- JazzTimes Magazine Acclaimed pianist, composer and humanitarian Keiko Matsui's transcendent and haunting melodies have long sought to build bridges. Her sonic cultural exchange has reached the hearts and minds of fans throughout the world and has allowed the pianist to work alongside icons Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder, Hugh Masekela and Bob James. “I would like my music to be a conduit for peace, kindness, love and light,” shares the petite, soft- spoken, yet commanding pianist. She adds, “My recording Echo is my attempt to capture all of these elements into the vibration of sound.” On February 22, 2019 Keiko Matsui will release her 28th recording as leader, Echo, which she co-produced with Grammy nominated producer Bud Harner. A master storyteller, Matsui crafts exquisite compositions replete with lush harmonies and global rhythms to create timeless musical anthems. Like iconic musicians Miles Davis and Shirley Horn, Keiko is also a master at utilizing space in her music to create a backdrop of drama, tension and sheer beauty. Keiko’s most inspired work yet, Echo features numerous special guests including bassist Marcus Miller, saxophonist Kirk Whalum, vocalist Gretchen Parlato, guitarist Robben Ford and bassist (and son of Clint Eastwood) Kyle Eastwood.

  • Clint Eastwood (EUA, Austrália, 2008)
    FORUM MUNICIPAL LUÍSA TODI – SETÚBAL, SEGUNDA-FEIRA, 07 DE SETEMBRO, DE 2020 - 21H00 MASTERCLASS: FILMES QUE EU AMO Nº37 - (entrada livre) GRAN TORINO Título original: Gran Torino Realização: Clint Eastwood (EUA, Austrália, 2008) A MINHA RELAÇÃO COM CLINT EASTWOOD Clint Eastwood teve, nos seus tempos iniciais de ator, dois belíssimos mestres, Don Siegel e Sergio Leone. Com um e outro criou um tipo de representação e de personagem que iriam de certa forma transformar radicalmente o filme policial, por um lado, e o western, por outro. Foi em Itália, sob as ordens de Leone, que surgiu a figura do cowboy anti-herói que pouco se distinguia dos vilões. Um homem totalmente desiludido, sem grandes valores, que atirava primeiro e perguntava depois. “O Bom, o Mau e o Vilão” foi o melhor exemplo deste tempo passado na Europa, depois de nos EUA se ter arrastado nalguns episódios de westerns em séries televisivas. Por essa altura, nos anos 60 do século passado, alguém disse dele: “Eu gosto do Clint Eastwood porque ele tem somente duas expressões faciais. Uma com o chapéu e outra sem ele”. Mas a verdade é que o seu trabalho marcou e criou um ícone. De regresso à América, teve então, em Don Siegel, outro realizador que lhe deu tarimba como ator e o preparou para a realização. No início dos anos 70, “Two Mules for Sister Sara”, “The Beguiled”, “High Plains Drifter” ou “The Outlaw Josey Wales” transportam de certa fora o cínico cowboy criado nas planícies europeias para os estúdios norte-americanos. O anti-herói ajudou seguramente à decadência do género nos EUA, ao destruir o tradicional confronto entre o herói e o vilão.

  • Production Notes
    During his lifetime, J. Edgar Hoover would rise to be the most powerful man in America. As head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for nearly 50 years, he would stop at nothing to protect his country. Through eight presidents and three wars, Hoover waged battle against threats both real and perceived, often bending the rules to keep his countrymen safe. His methods were at once ruthless and heroic, with the admiration of the world his most coveted, if ever elusive, prize. Hoover was a man who placed great value on secrets—particularly those of others—and was not afraid to use that information to exert authority over the leading figures in the nation. Understanding that knowledge is power and fear poses opportunity, he used both to gain unprecedented influence and to build a reputation that was both formidable and untouchable. He was as guarded in his private life as he was in his public one, allowing only a small and protective inner circle into his confidence. His closest colleague, Clyde Tolson, was also his constant companion. His secretary, Helen Gandy, who was perhaps most privy to Hoover’s designs, remained loyal to the end…and beyond. Only Hoover’s mother, who served as his inspiration and his conscience, would leave him, her passing truly crushing to the son who forever sought her love and approval. As seen through the eyes of Hoover himself, “J. Edgar” explores the personal and public life and relationships of a man who could distort the truth as easily as he upheld it during a life devoted to his own idea of justice, often swayed by the darker side of power.

Bledsoe Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Assistant Professor of Flute Donna Shin, Chair Instrumental Performance, School of Music The harp has endured a tenuous relationship with the genres of jazz and American popular music throughout history. While a few harpists have enjoyed successful and significant careers in these fields, the harp is largely absent from mainstream jazz and American pop. The purpose of this dissertation is to ascertain a definitive cause for such exclusion and use this information to identify a feasible path toward further integration of the harp in jazz and American pop music. This paper examines the state of the harp in jazz and American pop from various angles, including historical perspective, analytical assessment, and a study which compares harpists’ improvisational abilities to those of their mainstream jazz instrumentalist counterparts. These evaluations yield an encompassing view of the harp’s specific advantages and detriments in the areas of jazz and American pop. The result of this research points to a need for specialization among harpists, particularly in defining new styles. It is evident that harpists’ careers generally necessitate a working knowledge of various styles of music.
