title: Arlington International Film Festival

text:
The Arlington International Film Festival (AIFF) is an annual nonprofit film festival  dedicated to promoting and increasing multicultural awareness and showcases world cinema and independent films in their original language with English subtitles. Independent film producers, directors and actors within the US and abroad are invited to participate in engaging panel discussions and Q&A sessions after the screenings. Each year the festival greets more than 2,000 movie aficionados and shows about fifty films from all over the world with an impressive lineup of premieres. The Arlington International Film Festival also includes a year-round events such as poster contest competitions (the AIFF's logo was designed by Marley Jurgensmeyer, winner of the 2012 poster contest competition), pre-festival screenings and art exhibitions with local artists and performances by musicians, singers and dancers.

History

The Arlington International Film Festival was founded in 2010 by April Ranck and Alberto Guzman, in the aim of exploring and promoting the cultural diversity through the lens of independent films in a wide range of topics and areas. Jumping from 53 submissions the first year to over 142 the following year, the festival has been a significant success and attracts many enthusiast moviegoers. Hundreds of submissions are now watched by AIFF's Selection Committee each year and many of the selected films have been nominated for Academy Awards, while others have been purchased by CNN, POV PBS and Nova. The festival was held during four consecutive years at the historic Regent Theatre in Arlington. In 2015, the festival took place at the Kendall Square Cinema, Massachusetts. In 2016, the annual festival returned to his home city in Arlington, and was held at the Capitol Theater Building, in Arlington, Massachusetts. The number of films submissions continues to increase with a strong participation of filmmakers as well as a growing audience. For its 10th Anniversary, Arlington Int’l Film Festival, like many others, was hit by the devastating COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. There was no red carpet to walk, but instead an Online Festival was held from November 5 to November 15, 2020 in partnership with the social-media marketing company HappsNow and the streaming platform Xerb.tv. In lieu of in person interviews, filmmakers were invited to make an introduction prior to their film being screened and more than hundred films, documentary and narrative features including shorts plus two programs of animation shorts were screened during the 2020 year's festival. Once again, AIFF welcomed high school students. This program named: “Voices of Our Youth” wrapped up a collection of nearly 60 shorts films. In 2021, given the Covid 19 situation, with safety in mind, the 12th annual Festival was still virtual for another year. But yet, AIFF was able to fulfill its mission and offered a good selection of films. On November 3rd, 2022, the AIFF was glad to be back at the Capital Theater to host its 13th annual Festival.

Highlights
In 2014, the "Martin Luther King Community" awarded AIFF for spreading diversity and awareness of African-American culture,
In 2012, the AIFF received the Year Award from the Arlington Chamber of Commerce, and in 2013,  the McClennen Community Arts Award from Arlington Center for the Arts in recognition for building community, as well as the Gold Star Award from the Massachusetts Cultural Council for its 2013 poster contest.
In January 2014, in conjunction with the Visual Art Department of the Arlington High School, AIFF brought artist Winfred Rembert for a 5-day residency. AIFF has also partnered with the Boston Environmental Film Festival, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Boston Irish Film Festival. In addition, AIFF worked with the filmmaker Alice Rotchild, of documentary Voices Across the Divide, which co-won the Boston Palestine Film Festival's ‘2013 Audience Award for Best Film.
Two films: Botso: The Teacher from Tbilisi and Elena that were showcased at the Arlington International Festival in 2014 were among the 134 features nominated in the 'Documentary Feature' category at the 87th Academy Awards.
For the 9th annual festival, AIFF launched a new award: "Audience Choice Awards , sponsored by Spy Pond Productions. These awards were named in honor of Fran Ranck Tood, who passed in the spring of 2019. He was a faithful supporter and ambassador of the AIFF.

title: Magic (Coldplay song)

text:
"Magic" is a song by British rock band Coldplay for their sixth studio album, Ghost Stories (2014). It was released on 3 March 2014 as the record's lead single, being written and produced by band members Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion, Chris Martin, while production assistance was provided by Paul Epworth.

Background and recording
The song was recorded by the band during sessions for their sixth studio album in 2013, at their purpose-built studios The Bakery and The Beehive in North London, England, both originally constructed for work on their two previous studio albums, 2008's Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends and 2011's Mylo Xyloto respectively. The song's bass riff, the first part of the song, was originally conceived by Guy Berryman during the band's recording sessions in February 2013.

The single art for "Magic" was etched by British-based, Czech etching artist Mila Fürstová. The artwork features a symbolic white dove imposed onto a blue background. Much like other artworks of the Ghost Stories album cycle, the image depicts a scenario contained within the perimeter of the subject of focus, this time the white dove. The scenario features imagery related to stage magic, including a levitating couple, a flying deck of cards and a theater stage.

Composition
A beat consisting of a "muffled snare" and "dusty bass riff" is repeated throughout most of the song. As the song progresses, a piano is later added to the instrumentation which is eventually swapped out for a stomp-clap beat and again for a synth beat. Following the song's second chorus, these beats are gradually combined while Martin sings in falsetto. The song's "anticlimactic" portion then decreases intensity until it has eventually resumed to simply a snare and bass riff.

Critical reception

Jamieson Cox of Time magazine wrote that "Magic" isn't as far from the style of Coldplay's previous albums as "Midnight", the first track from Ghost Stories that was revealed. He added that the single "does hint at a few new tricks up the band's sleeve," and described it as "a successful marriage of old and new." Rolling Stone magazine's Kory Grow commented in similar tone, calling the song "a return to form," proven "to be Coldplay through and through." Digital Spy's Lewis Corner concurred, writing: "[The song] isn't a quick card trick to draw you in like some of the band's previous hits, but rather a long-form spectacle that slowly allures you with its intricacies and delicate craftsmanship."

Writing for Consequence of Sound , Alex Young opined that the track "sounds a lot less Bon Iver and a lot more Chris Martin drinking a venti, no-whip Skinny Vanilla Latte on a Sunday afternoon." Carl Williot of Idolator noted the song's Edge influence and commented that it showed "a tonedown their trademark grandeur in exchange for a more minimalist, atmospheric set of songs." Spin'''s Kyle McGovern had similar thoughts, and called the track "a low-key meditation on love." Bill Lamb of About.com gave the song 4.5 stars out of 5 and called it a "refreshingly simple, heartwarming love song." Writing for Los Angeles Times, Mikael Wood commented: "With Martin's delicate falsetto floating over a muted drum-machine beat ... this one offers up a sumptuous vocal melody – and a surprisingly soulful one at that".Mondo Sonoro (#43), and Rolling Stone (#30) named "Magic" one of the best songs from 2014, while Tampa Bay Times (#45) included the track on their "Best Pop Songs of the 2010s" list. In 2022, Billboard placed the song at number 26 on their editorial of "Best Love Songs of the 21st Century".

Music video
Background and concept

A music video for "Magic" was directed by Jonas Åkerlund. Starring Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, the video pays tribute to silent films, and is based on a literal interpretation of "Magic", with the narrative revolving around an "old-timey magic show". The five-minute music video was premiered on music video hosting service Vevo on 7 April 2014.

The narrative of the music video is centered around a magic show, which was translated by the director from a literal interpretation of Coldplay's song, whose lyrics make allusions to various magic tricks and stunts. The video itself is presented as a monochrome silent film, with cinematography and production mimicking those of the early 20th Century silent films, including an opening credits sequence, with "ragtime jazz", reminiscent of those used in early silent films. The video's narrative has been compared to the 2006 film The Prestige, without the "gripping" elements of the film.

When Jonas Åkerlund was interviewed, he said, despite the silent movie influences of it, the video was set in the present.

Synopsis and reception
Cecile (Zhang Ziyi) is a stage magician who performs magic in a traveling circus. She performs with Christophe (Chris Martin), a young magician who serves as Cecile's assistant. The duo perform various routine magic acts, such as impalement arts and shapeshifting. Cecile is married to Claude (also played by Chris Martin), a famous magician who, in addition to being an alcoholic, is violently aggressive to his wife. As Christophe continues to perform with Cecile, he starts to notice evidence of Claude's aggressive behavior towards Cecile, including bruises across her arm and witnessing Claude shouting at his wife, reducing her to tears.

Christophe, after he learns the art of levitation, formulates an idea to relieve Cecile of her troubles with Claude. He invites Cecile into the show tent to show her his newly-learnt ability to levitate himself. This however, upsets Claude who, after accusing his wife of cheating on him with Christophe, seeks to challenge him to a fight in one of his alcohol-fueled rampages. Christophe, however, uses his new abilities to levitate Claude and send him flying into the sky, thus saving Cecile from Claude. The two continue the show without Claude and show off new entertaining magic tricks and stunts.

Carl Williott of American music website Idolator wrote positively of the video, stating that it was "a quirky, entertaining video, specifically the parts with Martin playing a goofy-ass villain". Jason Scott of music blog Popdust also wrote positively, describing the music video's imagery as "vivid" and "a literal interpretation of what we've all come to expect from a 1920s side-show attraction". The video was filmed on 4 and 5 February 2014 in Los Angeles State Historic Park and no camera tricks were used.

Covers and versions

In July 2014, R&B artist Brandy released a rerecorded version of "Magic" to her TwitMusic account. The same day, it peaked at number one on Billboard''s Trending 140 chart, less than 24 hours after its premiere. Covered in live performances by various artists. In April 2014, singer Aloe Blacc performed the song on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge. A few days later, You Me at Six covered the song BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge on the same venue. Singer Rita Ora gave a mashup rendition of "Magic" and Beyoncé's "Drunk in Love" at the Radio 1's Big Weekend event in May 2014. In September 2014, Jacob Banks also sang "Magic" on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge. The song was also covered by singer-songwriter Lauren Aquilina for her own BBC Radio 1 Maida Vale Studios session.

title: Wilhelm Stumpf

text:
Wilhelm Ludwig Ferdinand Stumpf (30 March 1873, in Weimar – 27 August 1926, in Oberstaufen) was a German landscape/portrait painter and illustrator.

Life
He was the son of a businessman, Gustav Stumpf (1842–1914). From 1884 to 1889, he attended the König-Albert-Gymnasium in Leipzig. Later he attended the art academies in Leipzig and Munich, where he specialized in landscape and portrait painting. In Munich he studied under Gabriel von Hackl, Karl Raupp, Paul Hoecker and Heinrich von Zügel. His style of painting was, therefore, highly influenced by Impressionism. From 1898 to 1899 he attended the art school at Burghausen.

In 1904 he married Gertrud Salge (1877–1949), a painter from Magdeburg. They lived in Wolfratshausen at first then, from 1908 to 1910, in Regenstauf. From 1900 to 1922 he exhibited regularly at the Munich Glaspalast. In that year, he won the Silver Medal for decorative design at the Leipzig Art Exhibition. In addition to his paintings, he produced woodcuts, etchings and book illustrations.

During the First World War, he served as a war correspondent and illustrator for the German campaign in the Vosges. This was not only physically stressful, but psychologically damaging as well. After the war, Stumpf and his wife moved to the Oberallgäu district, settling in Oberstaufen, where he stayed at a rehabilitation center, hoping to recuperate his strength and peace of mind. Unfortunately, the hyperinflation of the 1920s wiped out his savings and he was in little demand as an artist. As a result, he fell into a deep depression and committed suicide.

In 2009, a memorial exhibition was presented in Oberstaufen, accompanied by the first comprehensive catalog of his works; a list of which can be found in the corresponding article on German Wikipedia.

text:
East Boston Savings Bank was a Massachusetts-chartered stock savings bank founded in 1848. The company delivered a wide range of deposit and loan products through the operation of the bank. On April 22, 2021, Rockland Trust would be acquiring the bank.

History
East Boston Savings Bank was established in Maverick Square, East Boston in 1848 by some merchants and shipbuilders, as a result of the booming commerce in Boston.

In 1991, East Boston Savings Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of Meridian Mutual Holding Company, later known as Meridian Financial Services.

By, 2006 Meridian formed another holding company called Meridian Interstate Bancorp, to which ownership of the bank was transferred.

In 2009, Meridian Interstate entered into a merger agreement with Mt. Washington Cooperative Bank of South Boston, Massachusetts. The merger was consummated in early 2010 and Mt. Washington Bank now operates under its name as a division of East Boston Savings Bank.

In July 2014, Meridian Interstate Bancorp consummated a second step stock conversion. Its top tier holding company MFS ceased to exist and a new corporation, Meridian Bancorp, Inc. was established.

In May 2020, East Boston Savings Bank has collaborated with nearby restaurants in East Boston, South Boston, Dorchester and Revere to provide over 1,300 meals.

In July 2020, East Boston Savings Bank has launched new branches in Salem and Woburn, and plans to launch the third branch of EBSB in Brookline in late summer.

title: Some Came Running (film)

text:
Some Came Running is a 1958 American drama film directed by Vincente Minnelli and starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Shirley MacLaine, based on the 1957 novel of the same name by James Jones. Set in 1948, it tells the story of a troubled Army veteran and author who returns to his Midwestern home town after 16 years, to the chagrin of his wealthy, social-climbing brother.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, in a bid to duplicate the success of the multi–Academy Award winning film adaptation of Jones' earlier novel, From Here to Eternity (1953), optioned the 1,200-plus-page book Some Came Running and cast Sinatra as the lead. Sinatra approved Dean Martin for the role of Bama, in what would be their first film together. Martha Hyer garnered her only Oscar nomination, while Arthur Kennedy earned his fifth and final nomination, and MacLaine received her first of five. The film was released in CinemaScope and Metrocolor.

Plot
In 1948, Dave Hirsh is a cynical Army veteran who winds up in his hometown of Parkman, Indiana, after being put on a bus in Chicago while intoxicated. Ginny Moorehead, a woman of seemingly loose morals and poor education, was invited by Dave in his drunken state to accompany him to Parkman. When Dave sobers up, he realizes it was a mistake, and gives her money to return to Chicago. However, she decides to stay because she has fallen in love with Dave and is also trying to avoid a violent boyfriend in Chicago.

Dave left 16 years before and had a career as a writer before the war, publishing two books. He did not stay in touch with his older brother, Frank, because of how Frank and his wife Agnes treated him when he was a child. Frank, who was newly married to the well-off Agnes, had placed Dave in a charity boarding school rather than take him to live in his home. Frank has since inherited a jewelry business from Agnes' father, sits on the board of a local bank, and is active in civic affairs. Frank and Agnes are very concerned about their social status and reputation in the town, which is threatened when Dave returns without letting them know and then deposits $5,500 ($60,704 in 2021) in the bank that competes with Frank's bank. Frank attempts to make amends with Dave in order to get him to move the bank deposit. Agnes wants nothing to do with Dave, but is forced to welcome him after two of her wealthy social acquaintances, Professor French and his daughter Gwen, a schoolteacher who teaches creative writing, ask to meet Dave because they admire his books.

When Dave meets Gwen, he immediately falls in love with her. She is attracted to him as well, but is afraid of the passionate feelings he arouses in her and of his lifestyle. Each time Gwen rejects him, he ends up back with Ginny, even though her lack of intelligence frustrates him and she is nothing like Gwen. Dave has also befriended a hard-partying but good-hearted gambler, Bama Dillert, and the two get into trouble when Ginny's ex-boyfriend, a gangster named Ray, comes to town stalking her.

Dave proposes to Gwen, and she tries to reject him, but her passion is stirred as she falls into his arms.

Frank is upset because Dave's lifestyle reflects badly on him. However, Dave is shown to be a good man despite his notorious reputation when he treats Ginny with kindness and takes a fatherly interest in his niece, Frank's daughter Dawn, who becomes upset and tries to run away when she sees her father in a romantic rendezvous with his secretary, Edith.

With Gwen's encouragement and help in editing, Dave gets a new story published in The Atlantic magazine. Gwen confesses her love to Dave by telephone while he is on a gambling trip with Bama and Ginny. Gwen's phone call leads the gamblers to think Dave is cheating at cards, triggering a fight in which Bama is stabbed. During his hospital stay, Bama is informed he has diabetes, but chooses to disregard medical advice, especially about his incessant drinking.

Ginny visits Gwen at her school to ask if Gwen and Dave are in a relationship and confess her own love for Dave. Gwen is horrified to discover Dave has been seeing Ginny, assures Ginny that there is nothing between her and Dave, and then cuts Dave off. Dave, at the end of his rope from Gwen's rejection, decides to marry Ginny, even over Bama's objections. While she is not Dave's social or intellectual match, Dave recognizes that she gives him unconditional love that he's never had from anyone else. The two marry that night, but soon after they leave the judge's house, while walking among the crowds of the town's fair, Ray comes after them with a gun, shoots and injures Dave who falls to the ground, and then fatally shoots Ginny as she leaps upon Dave's fallen body to protect him from Ray's bullets.  Dave places Ginny's lifeless head on the pillow she treasured as his first gift to her.

At Ginny's funeral, Professor French and a tearful Gwen, distraught at her role in the tragedy, attend the solemn occasion. Ashamed of his callous treatment of Ginny, a sorrowful Bama removes his hat, which he has never previously done, in a token of respect for her tragic heroism.

Production
Much of the film was shot in and around the town of Madison, Indiana. Shirley MacLaine reported that Sinatra was "besieged" by the local Indiana women, and that at one point a woman broke through a rope barrier around a house and flung herself at Sinatra as her husband ran to stop her, pleading "Helen, you don't even know the man!".

One significant change from the James Jones novel was the death of Ginny; in the novel, it is Dave who is killed, shot in the face by Ray.

Reception

Released to critical plaudits, Some Came Running was praised both nationally and internationally on release,
The Variety review stated, "Jones' novel has been stripped to essentials in the screenplay, and those are presented in hard clean dialog and incisive situations."

Sinatra garnered some of the strongest notices of his career; Variety noted that "Sinatra gives a top performance, sardonic and compassionate, full of touches both instinctive and technical. It is not easy, either, to play a man dying of a chronic illness and do it with grace and humor, and this Martin does without faltering."

The film was popular with the public. According to MGM records, it earned $4,245,000 in the US and Canada and $2,050,000 elsewhere, becoming the 10th highest-earning film of 1958. But its high cost meant that MGM would record a loss of $207,000 ($ million today) on the film.

Awards and nominations

Legacy
Martin Scorsese included a clip from the film for his A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies; the film's final carnival scene remains for Scorsese one of the best and most expressive uses of CinemaScope.

In his book Who the Hell's in It, director Peter Bogdanovich writes extensively about Some Came Running. He later filmed a short segment for Turner Classic Movies on its influence on cinema.

In the 1997 movie Flubber, the robot Weebo uses a clip from the film as a shout-out for why she won't sabotage the professor’s relationship anymore.

DVD
Some Came Running was released to DVD by Warner Home Video on May 13, 2008 as a Region 1 widescreen DVD and also on the same date as part of the 5-disc box set Frank Sinatra: The Golden Years with Some Came Running as the fourth disc.

title: Ja'Wuan James

text:
Ja'Wuan Amir James (born June 3, 1992) is an American football offensive tackle who is a free agent. He was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at Tennessee. He has also played for the Denver Broncos.

High school career
James attended North Gwinnett High School in Suwanee, Georgia, where he was teammates with Austin Shepherd. In his sophomore season, North Gwinnett advanced to the GHSA Class 5A state championship game with 13–2 record, where they lost 34–6 to Valdosta Lowndes led by Greg Reid and Telvin Smith. As a junior, James helped North Gwinnett to a berth in state quarterfinals behind 10–3 finish, where they lost 20–3 to Alec Ogletree's Newnan. In James's senior season, North Gwinnett finished with a 13–1 mark, earning Region 7-5A championship while advancing to the state quarterfinals, where they lost 35–0 to Camden County. After the season, James was selected Class 5A All-State by Georgia Sportswriters, and was invited to play in the 2010 Under Armour All-America Game in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, he was rated the eighth best offensive tackle prospect in his class and the sixth best prospect from Georgia. He was such a highly sought after prospect that Tennessee's head coach Lane Kiffin wanted to land a helicopter on North Gwinnett's softball field in an attempt to impress James, but was unable to receive clearance from the high school.

College career
James attended the University of Tennessee from 2010 to 2013. He started 49 consecutive games for the Volunteers, all at right tackle. His 49 starts set a record for career starts by an offensive lineman in Tennessee history (passing Jeff Smith's 48 starts from 1992 to 1995). He played on an elite offensive line that produced four NFL offensive linemen with three of them going on to become starters.

Professional career

On December 9, 2013, it was announced that James and teammate Daniel McCullers had accepted their invitations to the 2014 Senior Bowl. On January 24, 2014, it was reported that James would unfortunately miss the Reese's Senior Bowl after suffering a sprained knee during practice. His performances at practice were well-received and helped his draft stock. James was one of 50 collegiate linemen to attend the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana. Tennessee had a record four offensive linemen attend the combine, that include James, James Stone, Antonio Richardson, and Zach Fulton. He performed all of the combine drills well and finished sixth among all offensive linemen in the three-cone drill and ninth in the short shuttle. On April 2, 2014, he attended Tennessee's pro day, along with Zach Fulton, Antonio Richardson, James Stone, Daniel McCullers, Jacques Smith, Rajion Neal, Michael Palardy, and seven other prospects. He opted to stand on his combine numbers and only performed positional drills for scouts and representatives from all 32 NFL Teams, that included Seattle Seahawks' offensive line coach Tom Cable. During the draft process,
James had private workouts and meetings with a few teams, including the Tennessee Titans and Miami Dolphins. At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, James projected to be a first to third round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts. He was ranked the sixth best offensive tackle prospect by NFLDraftScout.com, the ninth best offensive tackle in the draft by NFL analyst Mike Mayock, and 15th best offensive linemen by Sports Illustrated.

Miami Dolphins

2014
The Miami Dolphins selected James in the first round (19th overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft. He was the fourth offensive linemen selected in 2014. James was the highest selected Tennessee Volunteers offensive lineman since Charles McRae and Antone Davis in 1991. On June 19, 2014, the Dolphins signed James to a fully guaranteed four-year, $8.42 million contract that includes a signing bonus of $4.44 million.

James entered training camp slated as the starting right tackle with newly acquired free agent Branden Albert starting on the blindside. Head coach Joe Philbin named James the official starting right tackle to begin the regular season.

He made his first career start and professional regular season debut in the Miami Dolphins' season-opening 33–20 victory over the New England Patriots. In the first four games, James yielded only one sack and ranked as the tenth best run blocker and 20th best offensive tackles overall among the 67 offensive tackles that qualified. He was considered an improvement over former starting right tackles Tyson Clabo and Jonathan Martin. In Week 10, he was moved to left tackle after starter Branden Albert was placed on injured/reserve for the remainder of the season after suffering a knee injury. He started 16 games for the Dolphins in 2014. James played poorly in the last eight games and received an overall grade of -28.4 from Pro Football Focus. He received a grade of +0.3 in run blocking.

2015
James returned to the starting right tackle position to start training camp and remained the starter to begin the regular season.

He started the first seven games of the 2015 season before suffering a toe injury and being placed on injured reserve for the rest of the season. Head coach Joe Philbin was fired after Week 4. Tight end coach Dan Campbell was named interim head coach for the rest of the season as James finished with only seven starts and was ranked the 33rd best offensive tackle by Pro Football Focus. Pro Football Focus graded him at 70 overall, 79 at pass blocking, and 35 at run blocking.

2016
James remained the starting right tackle, opposite Branden Albert, to begin the  season under new head coach Adam Gase. The Miami Dolphins drafted the top ranked offensive tackle prospect Laremy Tunsil with the 13th overall pick, but opted to use him as an offensive guard for his first season.

He started 16 consecutive games at right tackle and helped the Dolphins achieve a 10–6 record and place second in the AFC East. On January 8, 2017, James started in his first career playoff game as the Dolphins were defeated 30-12 by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Wildcard Playoffs.  Pro Football Focus ranked James 32nd among all offensive tackles with a grade of 78.0 in 2016 and Branden Albert ranked 65th. James was the Miami Dolphins' highest graded offensive lineman of the season as the entire line ranked 30th overall. He also received a grade of 81.0 for run blocking which ranked 18th among all offensive tackles.

2017
On May 1, 2017, the Miami Dolphins exercised the fifth-year, $9.34 million option on James' rookie contract for the 2018 season. He started the first eight games of the season at right tackle before suffering a hamstring injury in Week 9 against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday Night Football. He was placed on injured reserve on November 11, 2017.

2018
James started 15 games at right tackle in 2018, missing one game with a knee injury.

Denver Broncos

title: Space Police: Defenders of the Crown

text:
Space Police: Defenders of the Crown is the tenth studio album by the German power metal band Edguy. It was released on 18 April 2014 through Nuclear Blast. The cover art was unveiled on 1 February, and 15 days later, the band announced the track listing.

Background and recording
The band's vocalist and frontman, Tobias Sammet, has promoted the album as the heaviest the band has ever done. It was composed over two months, with the band members working altogether at the same studio with producer Sascha Paeth.  The band said of the album:

In an interview, Tobias and lead guitarist Jens Ludwig explained that the title of the album is based on two of its tracks, because they thought both names would be suitable for the new work. According to Tobias, Defenders of the Crown is a reference to Edguy being the real "defender of the heavy metal crown", while Space Police sounded like Frank Zappa or David Bowie and is a title that most heavy metal bands would not use. In another interview, Tobias commented:

Song information
The opening track "Sabre & Torch" (which received a lyric video on 17 March 2014 ) was written shortly after the 2013 Avantasia tour and refers to the attitude of the band, doing things that other weren't expecting. "We feel like explorers: We go where no man's been before, just armed with the sabre in one hand and a torch in the other..."

The co-title track "Space Police" was described by Tobias as "a track that really reflects what this band is all about. It’s crazy but powerful and very, very creative, catchy... It's got drive." According to him, the term "space police" is a metaphor for people who want to create and enforce laws on territories that should not be limited by rules. More specifically speaking, he criticizes people who try to tell rock bands what to do and what to say when musicians are actually willing to live above rules and without limitations.

Tobias described the single "Love Tyger" as a "tribute to himself". It describes the history of a guy who is brought to Earth by the Gods as a gift to mankind. Its guitar riff was conceived by Tobias himself and the song was thought of even before Age of the Joker, but Tobias decided not to include it in that album nor in Avantasia's The Mystery of Time, due to it being too "light-hearted".

"The Realms of Baba Yaga" was maybe the last song to be written for the album and is about a person that gives in to temptation to a point that they cannot control the situation anymore, using the folkloric witch as a metaphor. Tobias described its guitar solo as the best Ludwig has ever played.

"Rock Me Amadeus" is a cover of Austrian singer Falco. Tobias was first planning to make a cover of "Der Kommissar", but Sascha Paeth suggested he covered "Rock Me Amadeus" instead. It marks the first time Tobias raps and also the first German language song by the band and by him on an album.

"Do Me Like a Cavemen" was co-composed by Ludwig, but the song was subject of many discussions between him and Tobias, who were both unsatisfied with each other's musical inputs. "Shadow Eaters" was also co-composed by Ludwig and it's about the power of one's mind and what can be achieved when focusing on the elimination of negative thoughts.

"Alone in Myself" is about "the feeling of realizing that the world around you does not perceive things the way they should be perceived", and how one can be  misunderstood for not finding the right words for expressing themselves.

The ending and longest track, "The Eternal Wayfarer", talks about the immortality of the soul, which Tobias says he's trying to find evidence of, but is yet to do so. The chorus of the song dates back to 2005-06, by the time of Avantasia's The Scarecrow first sessions.

The limited edition comes with four instrumental versions of regular edition tracks, one progressive version of "Space Police", and two bonus tracks: "England", a song about the United Kingdom and the likes of Steve Harris of Iron Maiden, Bob Catley of Magnum and Scotland's William Wallace; and "Aychim in Hysteria", which is lyrically a tribute to the band's live sound engineer and musically a tribute to British group Def Leppard, specifically to their Hysteria era.

Reception
Space Police has been well received by critics. Writing for All About The Rock, Mark Booth said: "Tobias Sammet is a musical genius as he has proven that you don't have to be serious all the time but can write humorous songs that still are heavy, power and amazingly catchy but stick to the metal roots (like JUDAS PRIEST have done in the past etc) and Tobias is in league with musical genius Devin Townsend."
