Liverpool olha de seu canto para a Irlanda e, além dela, para a América. Em Liverpool vivem muitos irlandeses e galeses. Dizem que os irlandeses são espirituosos e que os galeses são bons cantor es. Os cantos e o humor não começaram senão a partir do século XIX. Até aí, nada de muito importante aconteceu em Liverpool. Seu primeiro mapa d ata de 1207, mas a maioria das antigüidades de hoje data apenas da Revolução Industrial. Em 1830, foi iniciada em Liverpool a primeira ferrovia de passageiros e, dez a nos mais tarde, a companhia de navegação Cunard Steamship Company lançou os primeiros t ransatlânticos do mundo. Nos cem anos seguintes, Liverpool foi tôda pro gresso. Desde a Segunda Guerra Mundial e o declínio da indústria têxtil de Lancashire, as coisas nã o têm progredido tanto. Hoje, a população é de 712.040 habitantes, não muit o maior do que era em 1901. Mas Liverpool ainda é uma cidade orgulhosa e agitada. Os governantes da cidade podem mostrar e orgulhar-se de muitas realizações. A Corporation (Prefeitura) edita folhetos para nos informar que os mostradores do relógio do Royal Li ver Building são maiores em diâmetro do que os do Big Ben, que Liverpool t eve o primeiro médico de saúde pública da Inglaterra em 1847, e que tanto a RSPCA como a NSPCC tiveram seu início em Liverpool. E quanto às realizações de hoje, temos a nova catedral católica romana, que possui mais vitrais do que qualquer outra catedral do mundo, e, dos nove membros do Parlamento eleitos pela cidade, um é o Sr. Harold Wilson, primeiro-ministro da Inglaterra. Desde a guerra, o homem da rua, quando pensa em Liverpool, não pens a em nenhuma destas grandes realizações. Na mitologia britânica, Liverpoo l é famosa por três coisas — futebol, brigas e comediantes. A lista de comediantes de Liverpool inclui Tommy Handley, Robb Wilton, Arthur Askey, Ted Ray, Ken Dodd, Norman Vaughan e Jimmy Tarbuck, mas êles são só de interêsse inglês. Rex Harrison, também liverpooliano, é mais conhecido do que qualquer um dêles, em platéias for a da Inglaterra, pois suas representações estão longe de ser liverpoolianas. Fanny Hill nasceu, imaginàriamente, em Liverpool. Era uma cômica d e primeiro time. Matthew Arnold morreu aqui, o mesmo acontecendo com Wil liam Huskisson, presidente da Comissão de Comércio, morto em 1830, no primeiro desastre de trem oc orrido no mundo. Liverpool ainda tem a sua aparência do século dezenove. Todos os edifí cios públicos do centro têm aquêle aspecto de grandeza clássica tão admirado pelos vitorianos. O Hotel Adelphi, nome e alma e uma peça da época, apesar de estar tentan do desesperadamente parecer majestoso. Muitos dos heróis dêste livro cos tumavam encontrar-se no Adelphi. Do lado de fora, naturalmente. Nossos heróis, seus amigos e se us parentes não são muito majestosos. A Lime Street Station é outro ponto de encontro de Liverpool, que se rá ressaltado em nossa narrativa. Senhoras da rua, tais como a famosa Magg ie May, costumavam pegar ali os seus melhores fregueses, antes de serem obrigadas a se esconde r, devolvidas ao pôrto e “para o outro lado da água”. “Do outro lado da águ a”, em Liverpool, quer dizer as pessoas que moram do outro lado do Mersey, em Cheshire. Ch eshire é muito grã-fino. Nenhum de nossos heróis vivia em Cheshire. O marco para tôdas as águas de Liverpool é o Pier Head. Os barcos vão para tôdas as partes: cruzam as águas para Gales, para a Irlanda ou para a A mérica. É dominado pelo enorme Royal Liver Building, que é muito escuro e sujo. Êle tem um grande pássaro verde em cima e amarrado com fios, pois, caso cont rário, há muito tempo êle já teria voado para algum lugar mais quente e mais limpo. Tem, a inda, uma grande estátua negra de Eduardo VII montado a cavalo. Fora isso, o Pier Head é um desapontamento. É apenas uma grande praça vazia, cercada num dos lad os pelo pier. Também êle é o principal ponto final dos ônibus para a cida de. A maioria dos liverpoolianos passa grande parte de suas vidas em tôrno do Pier Head, espe cialmente os nossos heróis. Todos aquêles grandes navios e locomotivas, todos êsses comediantes engraçados, e mesmo tôdas aquelas brigas e futebol empalideceram diante do s nossos heróis. Para os que nunca ouviram falar em Liverpool, e, mesmo para aquêles que, d e certo modo, dela ouviram falar, é bom saber que, hoje, Liverpool é o lug ar de origem dos nossos heróis. PRIMEIRA PARTE LIVERPOOL 1 JOHN Fred Lennon, o pai de John, foi criado como um órfão. Foi para a Blue coat School, em Liverpool, que, naquela época, recebia meninos órfãos. Quan do saiu, Fred foi vestido de casaca e cartola; êle diz que havia recebido uma educação mui to boa. Ficou órfão em 1921, aos nove anos de idade, quando seu pai, Jack Le nnon, morreu. Jack Lennon havia nascido em Dublin, mas passara grande part e de sua vida na América, como cantor profissional. Êle havia sido membro de um dos pri meiros grupos de Kentucky Ministreis. Depois de se ter aposentado, voltou para Liverpool, onde Fred nasceu. Fred deixou o orfanato aos quinze anos, com sua boa educação e dois ternos novos para encaminhá-lo na vida, e se tornou contínuo num escritóri o. “Vocês podem pensar que eu não era grande coisa, mas eu estava lá, fazia só uma semana, quando o patrão pediu mais três garotos ao orfanato. Dizia que, mesmo que êles tivessem só a metade da minha vitalidade, seriam ótimos. Êle achava que eu era excel ente.” Excelente ou

    MEDIA INFORMATION NO HAMBURG, NO BEATLES: THE HISTORY OF THE FAB FOUR IN HAMBURG From the evolution of the Hamburg Sound to today’s club scene On 17 August 1960, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best played their first gig at the Indra Club in the legendary St Pauli district of Hamburg. Mark Lewisohn, the acclaimed Beatles author, aptly commented “No Hamburg, no Beatles”. The Beatles, some of whom were still minors in the beginning, spent two years in Hamburg, with only a few breaks in between. Here, they laid the foundations for their global career. Following their debut in 1960, the Beatles played in Hamburg more often than anywhere else in the world – with 300 concerts, five contracts with four different music clubs, and about 1,200 hours spent on Hamburg stages. John Lennon once said “I grew up in Liverpool but I came of age in Hamburg”, and this is arguably the story of the Beatles in Hamburg in a nutshell. It all began with a shock. When The Beatles got their first engagement in Hamburg on the 17th of August 1960, they where full of anticipation. The Hanseatic City was considered to be the perfect place to make good money by giging. And the Reeperbahn was the incarnation of adventure for those naive from Liverpool. Where nowadays countless cutting-edge music clubs line the neon bright streets, back in the day, the audience craved for all night entertainment – especially for exciting music, such as Rock‘n‘Roll and it‘s British exports.

  • Wikipedia Beetles Dung Beetles Are Beetles That Feed on Feces
    Wikipedia beetles Dung beetles are beetles that feed on feces. Some species of dung beetles can bury dung times their own mass in one night. Many dung beetles, known as rollers , roll dung into round balls, which are used as a food source or breeding chambers. Others, known as tunnelers , bury the dung wherever they find it. A third group, the dwellers , neither roll nor burrow: they simply live in manure. They are often attracted by the dung collected by burrowing owls. There are dung beetle species of different colours and sizes, and some functional traits such as body mass or biomass and leg length can have high levels of variability. All the species belong to the superfamily Scarabaeoidea , most of them to the subfamilies Scarabaeinae and Aphodiinae of the family Scarabaeidae scarab beetles. As most species of Scarabaeinae feed exclusively on feces, that subfamily is often dubbed true dung beetles. There are dung-feeding beetles which belong to other families, such as the Geotrupidae the earth-boring dung beetle. The Scarabaeinae alone comprises more than 5, species. The nocturnal African dung beetle Scarabaeus satyrus is one of the few known non-vertebrate animals that navigate and orient themselves using the Milky Way. Dung beetles are not a single taxonomic group; dung feeding is found in a number of families of beetles, so the behaviour cannot be assumed to have evolved only once. Dung beetles live in many habitats , including desert, grasslands and savannas , [9] farmlands , and native and planted forests. They are found on all continents except Antarctica. They eat the dung of herbivores and omnivores , and prefer that produced by the latter.

Begeleiding: Joke Dame Cursusnaam: MA Thesis Muziekwetenschap. Cursuscode: 200501202. Universiteit Utrecht; Faculteit Geesteswetenschappen; opleiding Muziekwetenschap. Datum: mei 2009. 1 Lotte van der Schoot The Beatles, Instrumentals en Google Maart 2009 “Anyone tackling the oft-told tale of John, Paul, George and Ringo had better come up with a new angle, or new facts, or new interviews, or new something - or risk suffering the wrath of zillions of Beatles nuts.” Kirkus Reviews 2007, Academic Search Elite 2 L.M. van der Schoot The Beatles, Instrumentals en fora mei 2009 Woord vooraf Aan het begin van collegejaar 2008/2009 heb ik een cursus popmuziek gevolgd. Deze cursus had als onderwerp 'the popular instrumental'. Uit onderzoek voor deze paper kwam naar voren dat de bekendste popgroep aller tijden - The Beatles - ook instrumentale songs hebben geschreven. Mijn interesse was gewekt, te meer omdat ik de Beatles voornamelijk kende van nummers zoals 'Hey Jude', 'Yesterday' en 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. Deze fameuze popgroep heeft dus eveneens andersoortige nummers geschreven. In deze thesis wil ik geen 'herziene' versie maken van informatie die al tot in den treuren is uitgeplozen. Dit is echter niet eenvoudig, maar 'instrumentale nummers' is één van de onderwerpen die als onderwerp op zichzelf, nooit onderzocht is. In de hoogtij dagen van The Beatles – de jaren 1960 – zijn er maar op 3 albums instrumentals terug te vinden. De bekendste is waarschijnlijk 'Revolution 9' van de White Album (1968). Verder staat op het album Magical Mystery Tour (1967) het nummer 'Flying'.

  • A History of International Beatleweek (PDF)
    The History of International Beatleweek International Beatleweek celebrates the most famous band in the world in the city where it was born – attracting thousands of Fab Four fans and dozens of bands to Liverpool each year. The history of Beatleweek goes back to 1977 when Liverpool’s first Beatles Convention was held at Mr Pickwick’s club in Fraser Street, off London Road. The two-day event, staged in October, was organised by legendary Cavern Club DJ Bob Wooler and Allan Williams, entrepreneur and The Beatles’ early manager, and it included live music, guest speakers and special screenings. In 1981, Liz and Jim Hughes – the pioneering couple behind Liverpool’s pioneering Beatles attraction, Cavern Mecca – took up the baton and arranged the First Annual Mersey Beatle Extravaganza at the Adelphi Hotel. It was a one-day event on Saturday, August 29 and the special guests were Beatles authors Philip Norman, Brian Southall and Tony Tyler. In 1984 the Mersey Beatle event moved to St George’s Hall where guests included former Cavern Club owner Ray McFall, Beatles’ press officer Tony Barrow, John Lennon’s uncle Charles Lennon and ‘Father’ Tom McKenzie. Cavern Mecca closed in 1984, and after the city council stepped in for a year to keep the event running, in 1986 Cavern City Tours was asked to take over the Mersey Beatle Convention. It has organised the annual event ever since. International bands started to make an appearance in the late 1980s, with two of the earliest groups to make the journey to Liverpool being Girl from the USA and the USSR’s Beatle Club.
