David Gilmour sa den gang: “Vi gikk inn i Brittania Studios og improviserte i to uker. Å spille sammen og starte fra null var intressant og spennende, det pangstartet albumet og prosessen var veldig bra, det var godt samarbeid og føltes sammenhengende.” ‘The Division Bell’ inneholder en ny dobbel-LP vinylutgave, remastret av Doug Sax på The Mastering Lab fra de opperinnelige mastertapene, inkludert alle fulllengdespor (opprinnelig redigert ned for å få plass på en enkelt-LP) i et gatefold cover designet av Hipgnosis/StormStudios.

Videon er filmet i Ukraina under den første uken i april 2014, videoen er regissert av Aubrey Powell på Hipgnosis. Videoen kan oppleves i både PCM Stereo og Andy Jacksons 5.1-miks.

  • Trust Account Basics
    TRUST ACCOUNT (Also known as an IOLTA account – Interest on Lawyer’s Trust Account) Is a trust account required for all attorneys in Arizona? No, not all attorneys will require the use of a trust account. Public, corporate and indigent representation agency attorneys are a few that do not require the use of a trust account. Also, attorneys who do not accept money that belongs in the trust account do not need one. Be sure to read Rules 42 E.R. 1.5 (fees), 1.15 (safekeeping property) and Rule 43, Ariz.R.Sup.Ct. I. How to determine whether your practice requires a trust account. 1. What does your fee agreement determine? As stated in Rule 42, E.R. 1.5, written agreements are required with every client. This should include the scope of representation and how much. Therefore, does your fee agreement say earned upon receipt or advanced fees and costs. 2. Do you hold money on behalf of a client (settlement, hold for division of property, etc)? 3. If you do not accept any money in advance for work, costs (filing fees, expert witnesses etc) or from third parties (settlements, etc) you may not need a trust account. Review the rules again to be sure that you do not require the use of a trust account. Also you may call ethics counsel at 602-340-7284. 4. If you accept money in advance for fees and costs, you will need a trust account. 5. If you answered yes to question 2, you will need a trust account.

    1 Transcript Episode Title: Marooned in Matamoros, Part 1 Show: Post Reports Publisher: The Washington Post Publish Date: 7/22/21 MARTINE: Hey, it’s Martine. Today, we are airing the first episode of our two-part series “Marooned in Matamoros.” It is a riveting story that takes twists and turns… and it comes from reporter Arelis Hernández, as well as Post Reports editor and producer Ted Muldoon, who's taking the reins today as host. And just a warning, this story contains descriptions of a violent crime and mentions of sexual assault. So, here we go. [THEME IN] TED: From the newsroom of The Washington Post, this is Post Reports. I’m Ted Muldoon, in for Martine Powers. [THEME OUT] ARELIS: Hello! TED: Hello hello. And you are recording? ARELIS: I am indeed recording. Arelis Hernández is recording. TED: That's going to be useful. Thank you for that. [Laughs] ARELIS: [Laughs] TED: That’s Arelis Hernández. She covers immigration and Texas for The Post. So Arelis, today we have the first episode in a two-part series that you've been working on for the last year. ARELIS: God, it's been a year. Yes. TED: And I've been following you along the way, recording check-ins with you, asking you questions as you go through this kind of reporting process and what you've been doing, is you've been following this woman named Nancy. She fled El Salvador with her two children and came to the United States seeking asylum. But when she got here, she found herself stuck in Mexico in this sort of migrant camp for over a year now, while she's tried to plead her case.

  • David Gilmour Fra Pink Floyd Sender David Gilmour in Concert Ud Som App!
    2012-11-07 09:00 CET David Gilmour fra Pink Floyd sender David Gilmour In Concert ud som App! The best-selling ‘David Gilmour In Concert’ full-length show, originally released on DVD, is now available as an App for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, and will shortly be available in an Android version. For the first time ever, all the content of an original DVD is contained in an App – including the extras – in a viewable form for portable devices. In 2001 and 2002, Pink Floyd’s singer and guitarist David Gilmour performed some solo dates, originally as part of Robert Wyatt’s Meltdown Festival at London’s Royal Festival Hall, returning to the venue in the subsequent year. Playing in a solo context, the critically acclaimed run of concerts saw David Gilmour performing some tracks with just voice and guitar, and others with a mostly acoustic group including double bass, guitar, cello, drums, a large vocal choir, and the late Michael Kamen on piano and cor anglais. In 2001, Robert Wyatt guested on ‘Comfortably Numb’, while the 2002 concerts also saw contributions from Bob Geldof (‘Comfortably Numb’) and Pink Floyd’s Richard Wright (‘Breakthrough’). Now, in 2012, using new technology pioneered by London authoring house The Pavement, EMI and David Gilmour are able to present all the features of the DVD as a smartphone App. Said Andy Evans of ‘The Pavement’: “We worked closely with David and his team on the multi-format ‘Live In Gdansk’ project and followed that up with the DVD menu design and authoring of the ‘Why Pink Floyd?’ campaign, so it was a pleasure to be able to rejoin forces and take the lead on such a quality programme.” ‘David Gilmour In Concert’ has been a very successful worldwide release from EMI since its launch in 2002, presenting the Pink Floyd guitarist and singer in an intimate context at the Royal Festival Hall, London.

  • Chapter 9 Ch. 9 Page 1
    Chapter 9 “You can just take that back, boy!” This order, given by me to Cecil Jacobs, was the beginning of a rather thin time for Jem and me. My fists were clenched and I was ready to let fly. Atticus had promised me he would wear me out if he ever heard of me fighting any more; I was far too old and too big for such childish things, and the sooner I learned to hold in, the better off everybody would be. I soon forgot. Cecil Jacobs made me forget. He had announced in the schoolyard the day before that Scout Finch’s daddy defended niggers. I denied it, but told Jem. “What’d he mean sayin‘ that?” I asked. “Nothing,” Jem said. “Ask Atticus, he’ll tell you.” “Do you defend niggers, Atticus?” I asked him that evening. “Of course I do. Don’t say nigger, Scout. That’s common.” “‘s what everybody at school says.” “From now on it’ll be everybody less one—” “Well if you don’t want me to grow up talkin‘ that way, why do you send me to school?” My father looked at me mildly, amusement in his eyes. Despite our compromise, my campaign to avoid school had continued in one form or another since my first day’s dose of it: the beginning of last September had brought on sinking spells, dizziness, and mild gastric complaints. I went so far as to pay a nickel for the privilege of rubbing my head against the head of Miss Rachel’s cook’s son, who was afflicted with a tremendous ringworm.

  • The Principality of Hutt River
    THE PRINCIPALITY OF HUTT RIVER A Territory Marooned in the Western Australian Outback [ReceiveD November 3rD 2017; accepteD January 15th 2018 – DOI: 10.21463/shima.12.1.13] Vicente Bicudo de Castro <[email protected]> Deakin University Ralph Kober <[email protected]> Monash University ABSTRACT: This article recounts the story of Hutt River Province, later establisheD as the Principality of Hutt River (PHR), unDer the administration of LeonarD George Casley (1970-2017). We highlight the international relations of the principality, its reliance on tourism, anD its relationship with Australian taxation authorities. Casley createD his own principality within the Western Australian outback anD glaDly marooneD himself in his very own creation. We thus extenD the notion of aislamiento to remote geographically isolateD environments, illustrating the deeply social anD political nature of aislamiento. KEYWORDS: Aislamiento, Hutt River Province, IslanDness, Micronations, Western Australia. Introduction No man is an island Entire of itself Every man is a piece of the continent (John Donne, 1624) While Donne noteD that no man is an islanD, in this article we explore whether a man can create a (virtual) islanD anD remove himself from his surrounDing continent. This article recounts the story of Hutt River Province, later establisheD as the Principality of Hutt River (PHR), unDer the administration of LeonarD George Casley. The objective of this article is to proviDe a concise recorD of the creation of the principality in 1970, anD what has happeneD since its inception until Casley abDicateD in favour of his youngest son in 2017. Using the concept of aislamiento, a Spanish term that extenDs the notional of geographical islanDness to that of socio-psychological isolation (AnDersen, 2016: 33)(AnDerson, 2016: 33), the principality is portrayeD as a place marooneD in the Western Australian outback, desiring to become isolateD from the Australian Commonwealth.
