  • Brazilian/American Trio São Paulo Underground Expands Psycho-Tropicalia Into New Dimensions on Cantos Invisíveis, a Global Tapestry That Transcends Place & Time
    Bio information: SÃO PAULO UNDERGROUND Title: CANTOS INVISÍVEIS (Cuneiform Rune 423) Format: CD / DIGITAL Cuneiform Promotion Dept: (301) 589-8894 / Fax (301) 589-1819 Press and world radio: [email protected] | North American and world radio: [email protected] www.cuneiformrecords.com FILE UNDER: JAZZ / TROPICALIA / ELECTRONIC / WORLD / PSYCHEDELIC / POST-JAZZ RELEASE DATE: OCTOBER 14, 2016 Brazilian/American Trio São Paulo Underground Expands Psycho-Tropicalia into New Dimensions on Cantos Invisíveis, a Global Tapestry that Transcends Place & Time Cantos Invisíveis is a wondrous album, a startling slab of 21st century trans-global music that mesmerizes, exhilarates and transports the listener to surreal dreamlands astride the equator. Never before has the fearless post-jazz, trans-continental trio São Paulo Underground sounded more confident than here on their fifth album and third release for Cuneiform. Weaving together a borderless electro-acoustic tapestry of North and South American, African and Asian, traditional folk and modern jazz, rock and electronica, the trio create music at once intimate and universal. On Cantos Invisíveis, nine tracks celebrate humanity by evoking lost haunts, enduring love, and the sheer delirious joy of making music together. São Paulo Underground fully manifests its expansive vision of a universal global music, one that blurs edges, transcends genres, defies national and temporal borders, and embraces humankind in its myriad physical and spiritual dimensions. Featuring three multi-instrumentalists, São Paulo Underground is the creation of Chicago-reared polymath Rob Mazurek (cornet, Mellotron, modular synthesizer, Moog Paraphonic, OP-1, percussion and voice) and two Brazilian masters of modern psycho- Tropicalia -- Mauricio Takara (drums, cavaquinho, electronics, Moog Werkstatt, percussion and voice) and Guilherme Granado (keyboards, synthesizers, sampler, percussion and voice).

  • Are Megabats Flying Primates? Contrary Evidence from a Mitochondrial DNA Sequence
    Aust. J. Bioi. Sci., 1988, 41, 327-32 Are Megabats Flying Primates? Contrary Evidence from a Mitochondrial DNA Sequence S. Bennett,A L. J. Alexander,A R. H. CrozierB,c and A. G. MackinlayA,c A School of Biochemistry, University of New South Wales, P.O. Box 1, Kensington, N.S.W. 2033. B School of Biological Science, University of New South Wales, P.O.

Abstract Bats (Chiroptera) are divided into the suborders Megachiroptera (fruit bats, 'megabats') and Micro­ chiroptera (predominantly insectivores, 'microbats'). It had been found that megabats and primates share a connection system between the retina and the midbrain not seen in microbats or other eutherian mammals, and challenging but plausible hypotheses were made that (a) bats are diphyletic and (b) megabats are flying primates. We obtained two DNA sequences from the mitochondrion of the fruit bat Pteropus poliocephalus, and performed phylogenetic analyses using the bat sequences in conjunction with homologous Drosophila, mouse, cow and human sequences. Two trees stand out as significantly more likely than any other; neither of these links the bat and human as the closest sequences. These results cast considerable doubt on the hypothesis that megabats are particularly close to primates. Introduction Various phylogenetic schemes based on morphology have linked bats and primates, such as in McKenna's (1975) grandorder Archonta, which also includes the Dermoptera (flying lemurs) and Scandentia (tree shrews). Molecular systematists, using immunological comparisons and amino acid sequences, have found that bats are not placed particularly close to primates, and that they are not diphyletic (Cronin and Sarich 1980; Dene et al.

  • Das Remake Als Fetischkunst Gus Van Sants »Psycho« Und Die Absonderlichen Serialitäten Des Hollywood-Kinos
    FORSCHUNGSBEITRAG DAS REMAKE ALS FETISCHKUNST Gus Van Sants »Psycho« und die absonderlichen Serialitäten des Hollywood-Kinos Frank Kelleter 154 RKEMA ING ALS SERIELLE PRAXIS Film-Remakes und Film-Fortsetzungen verkörpern den kommerziellen Prag- matismus des Hollywood-Kinos in schamloser Manier. Kein Wunder, dass sich Feuilleton und Filmwissenschaft lange Zeit nicht mit ihnen anfreunden konnten. Noch heute muss jeder Film, der eine Zahl im Titel trägt, darauf gefasst sein, als Beispiel für die Einfallslosigkeit einer ganzen, eigentlich geldgeilen Industrie herzuhalten. Problematisch ist diese Haltung nicht, weil sie falsch wäre – Remakes und Fortsetzungen operieren tatsächlich als ›pre-sold com- modities‹ –, sondern weil Einfallsreichtum in der Geschichte des populären Films eigentlich immer schon an profitorientierte Produktionskulturen gebun- den war. Wie unbehaglich dieser Gedanke in cinephilen Kreisen weiterhin sein mag, lässt sich daran ablesen, dass die Figur des sich gegen ökonomische Zwänge behauptenden ›Auteurs‹ die Rede über Filme selbst dort noch orga- nisiert, wo die proklamierten filmtheoretischen Überzeugungen schon längst das Gegenteil behaupten. Das Problem filmischer Autorschaft steht im Zentrum von Gus Van Sants »Psycho« und vermengt sich dort in irritierender Weise mit Fragen medialer Selbstreflexion und narrativer Fortsetzungslogik. Um zu verstehen, was hier geschieht, bietet es sich an, das Format ›Neuverfilmung‹ zunächst einmal seri- alitätstheoretisch zu beschreiben. Auf den ersten Blick ist das eine kontrain- tuitive Perspektive: Remakes behaupten ja in aller Regel nicht, Episoden oder Fortsetzungen eines größeren Erzählganzen zu sein. Dennoch fällt es schwerer, POP. Kultur und Kritik ◆ Heft 7 Herbst 2015 ◆ S. 154–173 ◆ © transcript zwischen einer Neuverfilmung und einer Fortsetzung formal zu unterscheiden, als diese scheinbar eindeutigen Begriffe vermuten lassen (Verevis 2006a; siehe auch einzelne Beiträge in Heinze/Krämer 2015).

    James Dean Brown – Psychedelic Soul You are about to enter a space where hardly any clubber has danced before… Feel well-absorbed into James Dean Brown's most extraordinary, emphatic and convincing DJ work so far. As soon as he is supposed to feel reasonably safe in terms of a conclusive music selection and respectable mixing skills, JDB starts (and keeps on) experimenting, merging and warping styles, leaving the comfort zone. Consequently, you will experience weirdness of epic dimensions here while listening to a story that pleads for a great diversity of sound cultures at parties. Surrounded by nature, outdoors vibes and the heavy, monsoon-like rain must have been a great inspiration. Otherwise one could hardly explain how JDB managed to mix some of these hazardous grooves in such a relaxed way. The trip becomes an audio drama: psychedelic Soul, Funk and Blues full of exotic magic and mystery, intoxicating Voodoo House, decelerated grooves, flexible shuffle modes, alien sound signatures, tripping hazards, spiritual vibes, enchanting incantations, ghost whispers, tribal percussion reverberating from the electrically vibrating rain forest, echoes from space, strange and unusual music not quite from this world, fluid fairytales, passion, temptation, ritual ecstasy, obscuration and revelation, and other oddities – it's all in here. Welcome to a subtle dislocation off the norm. mixed + recorded live under heavy rain at "Contour", ://about blank garden, Berlin, 29.07.12 between 5.00 and 8.00 a.m. Theo Parrish – Dusty Cabinets 12"EP: Pieces of a Paradox (Sound Signature SS004) http://www.discogs.com/release/4298 Theo Parrish – Dan Ryan 12"EP: Roots Revisited (Sound Signature SS005) http://www.discogs.com/release/6849 Electric Soul – Here Come One 12"EP: ANewSong / Here Come One (People PEOPLE 005) http://www.discogs.com/release/32449 Kenny Dixon Jr.

Bats play a vital role in the health of our natural world, and are fascinating creatures. They are a group of mammals belong to the mammalian order “Chiroptera” which in Greek means hand-wing. All living bat species fit into one of two sub-groups, the Microchiroptera or the Megachiroptera. Members of the latter group are often called “flying foxes” because of their fox-like faces. Diversity and Distribution The more than 1,260 species of bats make up approximately 20 percent of all mammal species, more than any other mammal group except rodents, and they are found everywhere in the world except in the most extreme desert and polar regions. Some 47 species live in the United States and Canada, but the majority inhabit tropical forests where, in total number of species, they sometimes outnumber all other mammals combined. Bats come in an amazing variety of sizes and appearances. While the bumblebee bat is at one extreme, some flying foxes of the Old World tropics have wingspans of up to six feet. The big-eyed, winsome expressions of flying foxes often surprise people who would never had thought that a bat could be cute.

  • VAMPIRE BATS – the Good, the Bad, and the Amazing
    Exhibit Dates: May 2014 - January 2015 VAMPIRE BATS – The Good, the Bad, and the Amazing Vampire bats are sanguivores, organisms that feed upon the blood of other animals. They are the only mammals that feed exclusively on blood. Despite horror-movie depictions, vampire bats very rarely bite humans to feed on their blood. They feed primarily on domestic livestock, due to their abundance, and to a lesser degree on wild mammals and birds. They are very small animals, with wingspans of about 12-15 inches, and weigh less than 2 ounces. SPECIES AND DISTRIBUTIONS Three species of vampire bats are recognized. Vampire bats occur in warm climates in both arid and humid regions of Mexico, Central America, and South America. Distribution of the three species of vampire bats. Common Vampire Bat (Desmodus rotundus) This species is the most abundant and most well-known of the vampire bats. Desmodus feeds mainly on mammals, particularly livestock. They occur from northern Mexico southward through Central America and much of South America, to Uruguay, northern Argentina, and central Chile, and on the island of Trinidad in the West Indies. Common vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus. White-winged Vampire Bat (Diaemus youngi) This species feeds mainly on the blood of birds. They occur from Mexico to southern Argentina and are present on the islands of Trinidad and Isla Margarita. White-winged vampire bat, Diaemus youngi. Hairy-legged Vampire Bat (Diphylla ecaudata) This species also feeds mainly on the blood of birds. They occur from Mexico to Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. One specimen was collected in 1967 from an abandoned railroad tunnel in Val Verde County, Texas.

  • Greater Horseshoe Bat Rhinolophus Ferrumequinum
    Greater horseshoe bat Rhinolophus ferrumequinum The greater horseshoe bat is one of two species of horseshoe bat in the UK. Both species have a distinctive horseshoe shaped nose leaf. The nose leaf focuses their echolocation calls into a very directional beam and, along with a very high frequency echolocation call, this makes it difficult for their prey to be aware of their approach. It is one of our larger bats with a wingspan ©Gareth Jones/www.bats.org.uk Jones/www.bats.org.uk ©Gareth of up to 40cm and weighing around 25 grams. At rest it hangs, by its feet, from ceilings or walls and it is only the horseshoe bats that do this. In adapting to hang by their feet horseshoe bats, unlike other bat species, have lost the ability to crawl well. This means that horseshoe bats need to fly into their roosts, which is very limiting, especially in modern buildings. Their Daniel summer roosts are frequently associated with large old Hargreaves buildings, stables blocks and other outbuildings. They are very loyal to their roosts and use them for generation after generation. Lifecycle Mating takes place during the autumn and early winter with the female storing the sperm until conditions are right to allow fertilisation in the spring. Maternity colonies form in the spring and in June/July the single pup is born. Lactation lasts about five weeks by which stage the young are able to fly and search for insect food. Greater horseshoe bats living wild are known to have lived into their thirties. Habitat The greater horseshoe bat forages in landscapes containing a patchwork of fields bounded by mature Greater horseshoe bat distribution in England and hedgerows and interspersed with woodland patches.
