  • The Weeknd Bekrefter Norgesbesøk I November!
    23-03-2020 13:02 CET THE WEEKND BEKREFTER NORGESBESØK I NOVEMBER! Helt siden The Weeknd i 2015 gjestet hovedstaden vår med en eksklusiv konsert på Vulkan arena, har vi elsket den kritikerroste artisten. I 2017 fylte han Oslo Spektrum og nå står Telenor Arena for tur når The Weeknd idag bekrefter at han legger Norge til på Europa-turneen 6. november med The After Hours Tour. -Musikken spiller en viktig rolle i tiden vi nå befinner oss i. For oss på Live Nation kontoret så er det godt å se fremover, kunne dele nyheter langt frem i tid, og ikke minst lytte og danse til albumet som The Weeknd leverte sist fredag. Og skal vi tro streaming-tallene er det mange som deler vår begeistring og som gleder seg til å komme sammen igjen, sier Martin Nielsen i Live Nation. Popsensasjonen i verdenstoppen The Weeknd ble raskt en popsensasjon. Han har lykkes stort i å blande en rekke sjangre med sin melankolske stil, «tåkete» produksjoner og tidvis støyende beats. En formel som har resultert i en rekke verdenshits. 7. mars i år gjestet The Weeknd Saturday Night Live, i forkant av sitt nye album, After Hours. Fremføringen av låten Blinding Lights gir en herlig forsmak til artistens liveuttrykk. The Weeknd har nå offentligjort sin verdensomspennende turne The After Hours Tour, som etter planen skal starte i juni 2020. På After Hours Tour vil artisten ha med seg toppmoderne LED og videoproduksjon og en av de mest innovative sceneproduksjonene som er laget for arenakonserter. -Vi trenger å se fremover, ha noe å glede oss over og vi trenger artister som The Weeknd.

  • The Best Art of 2017 by ROBERTA SMITH, HOLLAND COTTER and JASON FARAGO DEC
    The Best Art of 2017 By ROBERTA SMITH, HOLLAND COTTER and JASON FARAGO DEC. 6, 2017 The most gripping and engaging art of the year included wild actions, unusual wearables and unexpected materials (like chocolate). Credit Clockwise from top left: 2017 Estate of Ad Reinhardt/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. Courtesy David Zwirner, New York/London; Ryan McNamara; Joshua BrIght for The New York Times; Delfino Sisto Legnani and Marco Cappelletti, Fondazione Prada; Mark Wickens for The New York Times; Estate of Belkis Ayón, via Landau Traveling Exhibitions The art critics of The New York Times Roberta Smith, Holland Cotter and Jason Farago share their picks for the best art of the year. Holland Cotter Bad-dream Washington politics. White nationalism. Sexual predation. Add the spectacle of a flatulent art market raking in endless cash, and 2017 feels like a good year to say goodbye to. But there were positive things. The following meant the most to me: The Women’s March in Washington on Jan. 21, a protest that was itself a form of political performance art. Credit Nina Westervelt for The New York Times. 1. THE MARCH If art can be defined as form shaped by the pressure of ideas, beliefs and emotions, the Women’s March last Jan. 21, the day after the inauguration of President Trump, might be seen as the largest work of political performance art ever. Originating as a gesture of mass revulsion, it was deeply felt, smartly choreographed, memorably costumed (“pussy hats”) and emphatically scripted (“Keep your hands off my body”). It continues today on social media (#MeToo), with no end to anger and energy in sight.

    www.it-ebooks.info “Great book! Whittaker delivers ideas that are innovative, smart, and mem- orable. He really knows how to inspire engineers to think differently about testing.” —Patrick Copeland, Director of Test Engineering, Google “James has perfected a fantastic manual testing methodology. The touring concept not only works, but it works so well that we’ve started sharing the tour concepts in the internal testing courses taught to all of our testers. If you want to bring your manual testing processes into the 21st century then read this book.” —Alan Page, Director, Test Excellence, Microsoft “I began working with James at IBM in 1990. Even then, he was inspiring testers and developers to think outside the box. With this book he’s taken his passion for software quality to a whole new level. Read it and watch yourself become a better tester. James is the real deal and this book should be read by every tester and software developer on the planet who cares about software quality or just wants to have more fun doing what they do.” —Kaushal K. Agrawal, Sr. Director of Engineering, Cisco Systems “James Whitaker is a true visionary in the world of testing. uTest and our global community of QA professionals regularly look to James for inspira- tion, interpretation of trends, and overarching testing wisdom. Now he’s finally written it down for everyone else and our industry will be smarter because of it.” —Doron Reuveni, CEO and Co-Founder, uTest “Only someone like James Whittaker would think of combining the idea of tourism with software testing in such a novel way—and only James could pull it off.
