The undisputed kings of British TV Ant and Dec return as hosts to guide viewers through the action from an amazing array of acts. Simon Cowell and his fellow judges provide entertainment in equal measure with laughter, tears, bickering and bromance as they decide if each performer has what it takes to make it through the auditions for a coveted spot in the live semi-finals and the chance to perform at The Royal Variety Performance. The competition is open to all performers of any age and with any talent. This year’s Britain’s Got Talent is packed full of more variety than ever before with comedians and contortionists, dancers and drag acts and acrobats and animals all set to shine. All the acts need is the skill that they believe will both impress the judges and entertain the nation. Britain’s Got Talent is a Thames/Syco Production for ITV.

Host Stephen Mulhern returns for his seventh series and that’s not just because he comes at a bargain price. He’ll once more bring a cheeky insight and a playful take on this year’s talent. Ant and Dec will be put through their paces by Stephen in Ant and Dec's: Fairground Fantasy! Going head to head on various funfair games, which one of them will win the accolade of being declared this year’s master rater? David Walliams will be joining in the fun with his own item, David vs. Goliath, which sees him pitted against Britain Got More Talent’s very own ‘Goliath’ in a series of testing yet ridiculous gladiatorial challenges. This series of Britain’s Got More Talent promises you more variety than ever before as Stephen meets all manner of acts including a human Humpty Dumpty, a roller-skating dinner lady, a man that plays a pork chop, a singer who has lost her voice plus an international band who like to get on the bottle. And some of them are actually very talented. Stephen also gets all the gossip from the judges including, who gets paid the least, when they last Googled themselves, their first ever snog and what they would do if they were to audition. Throughout the live semi-finals and grand final, Britain’s Got More Talent will be right in the thick of it, getting all the fall-out from the results and giving viewers the opportunity to phone in and speak live to the judges straight after the main show. Plus there’ll be celebrity panels, live games, Ant and Dec and all the usual chaos. Britain’s Got More Talent is the light-hearted and funny accomplice to the serious challenge of finding a winner worthy to perform at the Royal Variety Performance. This year’s Britain’s Got More Talent promises to bring you that little bit more.

Ant: We are thrilled to be back presenting Britain’s Got Talent. We had such a fun time last year and Ashley and Pudsey were such great winners. Dec: Last year was such a big year for talent. Quite a few of the acts in the final could have won the show, like Jonathan and Charlotte and The Loveable Rogues. Are you proud to have presented every series of Britain’s Got Talent? Dec: Yes, only ourselves and Amanda have been there since the start! We’re proud to have met and spoken to every act that has auditioned. What’s it been like being reunited with the judges? Ant: It’s great that we have the same judging panel this year as they all work so well together. Dec: The interaction of David and Alesha works really well. They have real chemistry between them. What are your favourite memories from last year’s show? Ant: I think the final - the talent was so strong and the winning act was a teenage girl and a dancing dog, that’s variety! Dec: I loved it when Pudsey got on the judges desk and sat in front of Simon and looked up! That was a lovely moment, they were well deserved winners. What type of act are you hoping will win Britain’s Got Talent this year? Dec: Hopefully it’s the turn of the humans this year after an animal won last year! Ant: We’re massive fans of variety acts, so it would be nice to have a different type of act winning. A comedian, a magician or an old school variety act would be good. We’ve got lots of them this year, but they need to be a modern take on variety. What do you think of this year’s talent? Ant: It’s great. It’s very, very strong this year. Quite a few animals have auditioned this year, but not a lot of them live up to Pudsey. 6 Under strict embargo until 00.01 Tuesday 9th April 2013 Ant & Dec – Q&A Who are your favourite ever acts from over the years? Dec: Diversity, Stavros Flatley, Paul Potts and of course Susan Boyle! That was a massive moment. We love those really big moments. Ant: I loved Dennis Egel, the German guy with the big wings last year! Without giving too much away, what have been some of the best acts during this year’s auditions? Ant: We’ve had a lot of really good singer -songwriters, a couple of great bands, some really good impressionists and comedians.

Committee on Graduate work _______________________________________ Dr. Charles S. Henry (Outside Committee Member) _______________________________________ Dr. Sonia M. Kreidenweis (Committee Member) _______________________________________ Dr. Jeffrey L. Collett, Jr. (Adviser) _______________________________________ Dr. Richard H. Johnson (Department Head) ii ABSTRACT OF THESIS ESTIMATING CONTRIBUTIONS OF PRIMARY BIOMASS COMBUSTION TO FINE PARTICULATE MATTER AT SITES IN THE WESTERN UNITED STATES Biomass combustion occurs throughout the world and has many implications for human health, air quality and visibility, and climate change. To better understand the impacts of biomass combustion in the western United States, six-day integrated fine particle samples were collected during the winter and summer seasons of 2004-2006 at seven IMPROVE sampling sites using Hi-Vol samplers. These sites included both urban and rural locations. Filter samples were analyzed for organic and elemental carbon, levoglucosan, and a suite of particulate ions. Levoglucosan, a thermal degradation product of cellulose, is a widely used tracer for primary biomass combustion. Measurements of levoglucosan and other carbohydrates were made using a new approach involving aqueous filter extraction followed by direct analysis using High Performance Anion Exchange Chromatography.

  • Operaharmony
    #OPERAHARMONY CREATING OPERAS IN ISOLATION 1 3 WELCOME TO #OPERA HARMONY FROM FOUNDER – ELLA MARCHMENT Welcome to #OperaHarmony. #Opera Harmony is a collection of opera makers from across the world who, during this time of crisis, formed an online community to create new operas. I started this initiative when the show that I was rehearsing at Dutch National Opera was cancelled because of the lockdown. Using social media and online platforms I invited colleagues worldwide to join me in the immense technical and logistical challenge of creating new works online. I set the themes of ‘distance’ and ‘community’, organised artist teams, and since March have been overseeing the creation of twenty new operas. All the artists involved in #OperaHarmony are highly skilled professionals who typically apply their talents in creating live theatre performances. Through this project, they have had to adapt to working in a new medium, as well as embracing new technologies and novel ways of creating, producing, and sharing work. #OperaHarmony’s goal was to bring people together in ways that were unimaginable prior to Covid-19. Over 100 artists from all the opera disciplines have collaborated to write, stage, record, and produce the new operas. The pieces encapsulate an incredibly dark period for the arts, and they are a symbol of the unstoppable determination, and community that exists to perform and continue to create operatic works. This has been my saving grace throughout lockdown, and it has given all involved a sense of purpose. When we started building these works we had no idea how they would eventually be realised, and it is with great thanks that we acknowledge the support of Opera Vision in helping to both distribute and disseminate these pieces, and also for establishing a means in which audiences can be invited into the heart of the process too .
