title: Gunman in Joseon

text:
Gunman in Joseon () is a 2014 South Korean television series starring Lee Joon-gi, Nam Sang-mi, Jeon Hye-bin, Han Joo-wan, and Yu Oh-seong. It aired on KBS2 from June 25 to September 4, 2014 on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 21:55 for 22 episodes.

Synopsis
The story begins in 1876, the third year of Emperor Gojong's reign. It is a time of great upheaval and rapid modernization, with conflict brewing between the two leading political factions, the Sugu (conservative) and the Kaehwa (enlightenment). Those on the Kaehwa side support Gojong's enlightenment policies during this time of change; Joseon was known as a hermit kingdom through the nineteenth century, keen to isolate itself from foreign influence. In previous years, Joseon had rejected Western overtures to open trade lines, which had led to military clashes with American and French forces. While newer ideology advocated a more open policy, it had yet to take root. Adding to the mounting tensions, recently Gojong's Kaehwa supporters have begun, one by one, to fall victim to a mysterious figure toting a brand-new style of gun.

Park Yoon-kang (Lee Joon-gi) is the son of the last great swordsman of nineteenth century Joseon. After the tragic death of his father and the enslavement of his younger sister, Yoon-kang trades his sword for a Western-made lever action rifle as he embarks on a revenge mission, but ends up becoming a hero for the people.

Cast

Main
Lee Joon-gi as Park Yoon-kang/Hasegawa Hanjo
Seo Dong-hyun as young Park Yoon-kang
Estranged from his father Park Jin-han, Yoon-kang lives an indolent life, drinking and flirting at the gisaeng house while performing daredevil acts with his sword for extra tips. Like his father who is a legendary swordsman, Yoon-kang himself is a highly skilled swordsman but went through life with little ambition or direction, which his father often admonished him for. After Jin-han is killed by conspirators then falsely branded a traitor, his children are also punished. The girl Yoon-kang loves, Soo-in, helps him escape arrest, but while on a boat he is shot, falls into the water, and is presumed dead. Fortunately, Yoon-kang is rescued by a group of men heading to Japan, and three years later, he returns to Joseon under the assumed name Hasegawa Hanjo to embark on his revenge mission and has traded his sword for a rifle.

Nam Sang-mi as Jung Soo-in
Soo-in is a feisty and intelligent noblewoman, despite her sheltered upbringing. Though she retains her wonder at modern gadgets such as the camera, Soo-in's heartbreak over Yoon-kang's "death" has made her jaded at the seeming pointlessness of changing the world for the better. But upon meeting Hasegawa Hanjo, she instantly recognizes him as Yoon-kang despite his repeated denials. Through the twists of fate that follow, Soo-in develops into a strong, tough modern woman.

Jeon Hye-bin as Choi Hye-won
A cold-hearted, unapproachable merchant's daughter. Hye-won desires to acquire enough wealth to hold the world in her hand, but things change when she inconveniently falls for the Japanese trader Hasegawa Hanjo, who unbeknownst to her is Yoon-kang, her father's enemy. As a child, she was a slave who was raped by her master and beaten by her mistress.

Han Joo-wan as Kim Ho-kyung
He leads a lonely existence due to his status as the illegitimate son of Minister Kim Byung-je. Thus, Ho-kyung dreams of revolution and a new world after being influenced by Kaehwa-aligned politicians and scholars. Ho-kyung is close to the Jung family, who treat him as a beloved son, but the feelings he harbors for Soo-in are romantic rather than brotherly.

Yu Oh-seong as Choi Won-shin
A merchant and assassin with an expressionless face and a heart full of ambition which was driven by a past of being humiliated by those in higher ranks. He is involved in a conspiracy against the king, picking off the latter's allies one by one with his rifle. Won-shin is also Hye-won's father and his daughter's enslavement is a source of his hatred for the ruling elite class.

title: Bad Suns

text:
Bad Suns is an American rock band from Woodland Hills, California, formed in 2012. The band currently consists of Christo Bowman, Gavin Bennett, and Miles Morris. All of the band members are from Los Angeles, California. The group has been signed to Vagrant Records, where they released their debut album Language & Perspective in 2014. The band's sound is inspired from 1970s and 1980s post-punk pioneers like The Cure and Elvis Costello.
Their second album was released on September 16, 2016, titled Disappear Here. Their third album, Mystic Truth, was released on March 22, 2019. Their fourth album, Apocalypse Whenever, was released on January 28, 2022.

Background

Bad Suns formed in early 2012. The band is made up of Christopher "Christo" Bowman (vocals), Gavin Bennett (bass/keyboard), Miles Morris (drums), and Ray Libby (guitar). "I grew up with a lot of world music playing in the house. When I was 10, I started getting heavily interested in the guitar, and my dad began introducing me to his records from the '70s and the '80s. Initially Elvis Costello, then to The Clash, The Cure, and so on," notes Bowman, "all of these artists and bands had a big impact on me, at a young age, as far as song composition goes." The debut EP Transpose features angst-ridden riffs and ethereal vocals reminiscent of post-punk legends of the early '80s. "I started writing my first songs at that time," Bowman continues, "Though we can now reflect on that era of music, those artists were ahead of their time in a lot of ways. That's what's most inspiring."

The band released "Cardiac Arrest" online, where it went viral. The Transpose EP was recorded in the studio with producer Eric Palmquist (the Mars Volta, Wavves, Trash Talk) and preceded the band's debut 2014 album, Language & Perspective. "The writing and recording process is always exciting, because it's constantly changing and unique to each song. Inspiration comes and goes as it pleases, so a night when a song gets written is a very good night," says Bowman. In 2014, the band opened for British indie-pop band The 1975 and later headlined a tour in small venues, such as The Troubadour in West Hollywood. The bands rising fame has led them to perform in music festivals. In 2015, they played in the Mojave Tent at Coachella.

Bad Suns released their second album, Disappear Here, on September 16, 2016. Bowman came up with the name of the album while reading Less than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis, "Maybe the second or third time the 'Disappear Here' billboard appears in the narrative, it sort of just hit me like a ton of bricks. It encapsulated absolutely everything." On October 6, 2017, Bad Suns released the single "This Was a Home Once".

On November 13, 2018, they announced that they had signed with Epitaph Records and released their first new music in over a year, "Away We Go." On January 14, 2019, Bad Suns announced their next album called Mystic Truth, which was released on March 22, 2019. The band later released two singles that were originally intended for release on Mystic Truth but were later removed from the album. "I'm Not Having Any Fun" and "Unstable" were released on April 24, 2020, and May 15, 2020, respectively.
 On September 28, 2020, Bad Suns released the first single from their forthcoming fourth album, "Baby Blue Shades". The single was produced by Eric Palmquist, who worked with the band on their first two albums, Language & Perspective and Disappear Here.
The band has ventured into film and television for the first time by performing Mark Knopfler's score from the Quibi exclusive short film Home Movie: The Princess Bride which aired in June and July 2020. The band released their second single, "Heaven is a Place in My Head" on May 31, 2021. On September 21, 2021, they announced that they will release their fourth album, Apocalypse Whenever in four months and released the single "When The World Was Mine". They released the singles "Wishing Fountains", "Peachy", and "Life Was Easier When I Only Cared About Me", ahead of the album's release. Apocalypse Whenever dropped on January 28, 2022, consisting of 13 tracks, including six previously released singles. On June 14, 2022, guitarist Ray Libby announced his departure from the band via social media, stating "I've decided to take some time away from playing with Bad Suns so I can explore other sources of joy."

The band released their first song with a featured artist on August 1, 2022. The song "Maybe You Saved Me" features electropop band Pvris.

Accolades
Jessica Goodman and Ryan Kistobak of The Huffington Post included the band's debut album, Language & Perspective, on their list of 2014's best releases, calling it "a rare indie release with little excess amongst its singles". The music video for "Salt" has been praised by Out magazine and MTV for its depiction of a transgender woman's struggles with her identity and transition.

title: Johann Georg Mohr

text:
Johann Georg Mohr (1864–1943) was a German painter, associated with the Kronberger Malerkolonie.

He was born in the Free City of Frankfurt, where he studied at the Städelschule and at the Academy of Berlin. Among his classmates at the Städel Institute included Fritz Rumpf, Robert Forell, Oscar Goebel, Jacob Happ (1861-1936) and the sculptor Hugo Kauffmann. In the first decade of the 20th century Mohr founded his own art school in Frankfurt. He died at the age of 79 in his hometown.

Style

In spite of his studies under various masters in Frankfurt and Berlin, his art has little in common with modern ideas, and is formed partly by his early impressions of the simple idyllic life of his native district, partly by his sympathy with the early German masters. In his love of the details of nature, in his precise (though by no means faultless) drawing of outline, and in his predilection for local coloring, he has distinct affinities with the Pre-Raphaelites.

title: Murder of Aamir Siddiqi

text:
Aamir Siddiqi was a boy from Cardiff, South Wales. In April 2010, at the age of 17, Siddiqi was killed in his family's home in the Roath area of Cardiff. On 1 February 2013 Jason Richards, 38, and Ben Hope, 39, were convicted of his murder; they had intended to kill a different man. Later that month they were both sentenced to life imprisonment, and ordered to serve a minimum of 40 years.

Background
Aamir Siddiqi was born in 1993 to Iqbal Siddiqi, a retired civil servant, and his wife Parveen. In April 2010 they were living at 110 Ninian Road, Cardiff.

At around the same time Jason Richards ran a car garage in Cardiff. A man with a history of drug dependence, Richards had several previous convictions for violent offences including robbery and blackmail. He led what was described as a "chaotic and violent" lifestyle and had spent periods in prison. In one incident in 1996, Richards attacked an off-duty police officer and another man in Cardiff city centre. Both men were badly injured with one suffering a skull fracture, and Richards was sentenced to 27 months imprisonment for grievous bodily harm. In another incident, Richards was imprisoned for 18 months for actual bodily harm following an attack on his wife in 2004.

Richards met Ben Hope, who also had a history of violence and drug problems, whilst incarcerated. The two developed a friendship which continued after their release. In 2010 they were approached by a local businessman who proposed they carry out the killing of a man with whom he had been in a property dispute, for £1,000.

Attack
On the afternoon of Sunday 11 April 2010, Richards and Hope went to the Siddiqis' home on Ninian Road. Both had been using drugs. Hearing the two men knock, and expecting a visit from his imam for a Koran lesson, Aamir ran to open the front door, where he was confronted by the two men on the doorstep. They immediately attacked Siddiqi, stabbing him multiple times in the neck and chest. Siddiqi attempted to escape by running back into the house but Richards and Hope pursued him, continuing the assault. Siddiqi's parents attempted to intervene and were also stabbed.

The men left the house shortly afterwards and Siddiqi's parents called the police. On their arrival it was clear that Siddiqi was gravely injured. The address is about half a mile from the University Hospital of Wales but there was a 20-minute delay in the arrival of an ambulance, during which time the police officers in attendance administered CPR and unsuccessfully attempted to revive Siddiqi.

Investigation and trial
Both men were arrested days after the attack took place and were tried in late 2012. CCTV footage from around Cardiff was used to trace their movements before and after the attack. Both defendants were linked to a stolen Volvo XC90 which was seen speeding from the scene of the attack – traces of Siddiqi's blood were found in the car's footwell, along with Richards' DNA. Hope's fingerprints were found on the steering wheel. Both men blamed the other for the killing

During the trial, it emerged that the men had been approached by a local man to carry out a killing over a property dispute. The intended target lived on Shirley Road, adjacent to Ninian Road where the Siddiqis lived. The two defendants went to Ninian road in error, a mistake described as an act of "staggering incompetence" by the prosecution.

Verdict and aftermath
On 1 February 2013 Richards and Hope were found guilty of murder at Swansea Crown Court. On 12 February they were both sentenced to life imprisonment, with the judge imposing a minimum terms of 40 years. Members of the Siddiqi family described the sentence as "appropriate".

Richards immediately appealed his conviction, and both men appealed their sentences in January 2014. The appeals were rejected in June 2014.

During the investigation a local man named Mohammed Ali Ege emerged as a suspect, potentially as the person responsible for commissioning the crime. He was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder in India in October 2011. He escaped custody whilst using a toilet at a Delhi railway station as Indian authorities were in the process of extraditing him to the UK and has not been seen since.

Reception
The Times of India noted the film's viewpoint shifting back and forth through time with the elderly Prasanna persona reflecting upon and reliving and reviving memories of his past and that, even with the character names being different from those of the real life personages being shown, the viewer has no doubt about whom the film is about.  They concluded, "Dusari Goshta excels in every department, be it Chandrakant's direction, Vikram-Sandeep-Siddharth's acting, the cinematography or art direction. It takes you through the political journey of many prominent politicians and events that change the course of India's political history."

Soundtrack
Giving it three stars, the Times of India praised the film's music, writing "The soundtrack of Dusari Goshta boasts of soulful melody and lyrics with deep meaning. With just two tracks, Dusari Goshta is an album for keeps."

 Khelnare haat pai, sung by Shankar Mahadevan, with Vidit Patankar and Pallavi Aandev on backup vocals.
 Mani achanak hal le kahi, sung by Mangesh Dhakde and Kirti Killedar

The Times of India wrote "Both songs are unique in their own way. While Khelnare... has Shankar dominating the track with his sombre vocals, the duet ballad 'Mani achanak....' is a soft number that is easy on the ears."

title: Snowdon Barne

text:
Snowdon Barne (26 December 1756 – 3 July 1825) was a lawyer and a British Member of Parliament, who represented the Dunwich seat from 1796 to 1812.

Family and early career

Born on 26 December 1756, he was the third son of Miles Barne of Sotterley, Suffolk, and his second wife, Mary Thornhill, a daughter of George Thornhill of Diddington, Huntingdonshire. He was educated at Westminster School and then matriculated at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, in 1776, gaining LL.B. in 1781 and then becoming a fellow in 1786. He was admitted at the Inner Temple on 11 June 1773 and then migrated to the Middle Temple at that date in 1782, having been called to the Bar in 1781, from which time he began practising on the Western circuit. He later became a Bencher of the Inner Temple, in 1816.

Member of Parliament

In 1796, the ill health of his eldest brother, Miles Barne, who was already quite reluctant to be a member, left the family seat of Dunwich vacant (Dunwich was a notorious "Rotten Borough" and remained in the pocket of the Barne family from 1764 until the Great Reform Act). Given that the elder brother, Barne Barne, had been appointed Commissioner of Taxes in 1791, it fell upon Snowdon Barne, who had not been "making that progress in his profession which … might have been expected", to take over the seat. He gave silent support to Pitt the Younger's administration, but tended to oppose Addington's, voting with the opposition on the defence questions that brought down that ministry in 1804.

He continued to support Pitt when he became Prime Minister after Addingtion's defeat; he voted against censuring Lord Melville in 1805 and sat on a Committee to investigate the Eleventh Naval Report, both acts allowing him to obtain a reward for his service from Pitt, who had him appointed Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer in 1806. He declined the offer from Spencer Perceval to be Secretary to the Treasury, citing the workload, but was made one of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury in 1809 and being reappointed each year thereafter until 1812; during that time, he voted in favour of the Government, making clear his desire for a place on the Custom Board. His support in several Bills during 1811 and 1812 saw this realised and he was appointed to that Board in 1812.

Later life and death

With the retirement of the joint Chairmen of the Commissioners of Customs, William Roe and Francis Fownes Luttrell, in 1819, Richard Betenson Dean became Chairman and Barne was appointed Deputy Chairman. He suffered from a "stoke of the palsy" in 1822 and, although recovering to some degree, decided to resign that office in 1823; he died, unmarried, on 3 July 1825 and was buried at Sotterley.

title: Deepika Kurup

text:
Deepika Kurup  (born 1998) is an inventor and clean water advocate. She is the recipient of the 2012 Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Award. Kurup was awarded the $25,000 Award for her work in developing a new and inexpensive method to clean water using solar power. She also a finalist in the 2014 international Stockholm Junior Water Prize with her project "A Novel Photocatalytic Pervious Composite for Degrading Organics and Inactivating Bacteria in Wastewater."

In January 2015, Kurup was named as one of the Forbes 2015 30 Under 30 in Energy. She has also been featured in Teen Vogue for her work. She is currently a student at Stanford School of Medicine.

Background

Deepika Kurup was born in Nashua, New Hampshire. She has given a number of accounts of what inspired her to work on water purification. In her entry video to the competition, she explains the mechanism used for developing her invention and also explains some of the factors that led to the invention.

Water purification method

Kurup's initial idea that won her the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist in 2012 is based on using a photocatalytic compound for water purification. This project involved a photocatalytic composite made up of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, hollow glass microspheres, and Portland cement. In 2012 Kurup's photocatalytic composite was able to reduce the amount of total coliform from 8000 colony-forming units to 50. In addition, it oxidized Methylene blue at a faster rate than standard solar disinfection methods.

She improved her method and after 3 years developed a previous photocatalytic composite using sand, TiO2, Portland cement and silver nitrate. This photocatalytic previous composite showed a 98% reduction in total coliform bacteria immediately after filtration. Exposure of the filtered water to sunlight with a photocatalytic composite disc resulted in 100% inactivation of total coliform bacteria in just 15 minutes. She was a finalist in the 2014 international Stockholm Junior Water Prize

She also is the National Geographic winner in the 2015 Google Science Fair.

Personal life

Her father Pradeep Kurup, a civil engineering professor at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, came to United States in 1983 from India. Her mother, Meena Kurup, is originally from the southern Indian state of Kerala. Deepika Kurup grew up in Nashua, New Hampshire. Every year while she was growing up, Deepika’s parents would take her to visit India, where she noticed how different the two nations were. One of the most striking differences she observed was the access to clean water. In India, many of the children outside her grandparents’ house would be collecting dirty, unsanitary water in plastic bottles to use for drinking, cooking their food, and washing their clothes. Deepika saw the deeper issues with this crisis, such as the fact that girls without access to clean water are forced to sacrifice their education in certain circumstances such as during their period when they have no clean clothes. According to Deepika, “instead of spending time with their family and instead of spending time working and raising money, women have to walk hours on end every day to go collect water.” Deepika felt inspired to create something that would improve the global water crisis, and thus, started to educate herself on this international issue.
In 2016, Deepika founded Catalyst for World Water, a social enterprise which is focused on expanding her water purification invention and distributing it across the globe to broaden access to clean water. Deepika’s efforts are tied with viewing access to clean water as a global human right. Deepika is planning on concentrating her study in Neurobiology.

Reception

Critical reception
The film received overall positive reviews. The Times of India gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "There is scope for an interesting black comedy in this plot but Aadama Jaichomada often feels less quirky and less funny than it should have been. It is as if the makers decided to stick to the lowest possible yardstick and were satisfied for managing to cross it. As a result, many of the jokes do not work that well...We are amused..we smile...we chuckle...but we never truly laugh non-stop". The New Indian Express wrote, "Laced with dark humour, Aadama Jaichomada keeps one entertained for the most part. Taking just about two hours of viewing time, Aadama Jaichomada has its good moments and is a breezy watch". Rediff gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "The characters and the situation they unwittingly get themselves into, is well thought out, and cleverly woven into the screenplay. The narrative too is totally unpredictable, keeping you guessing. At just two hours, the story moves at a brisk pace", going on to add that the film "does work as an entertainer". Sify wrote, "The film works for its performances of Karunakaran, Balaji and the interactions between the bumbling cops Simhaa, KS Ravikumar and Chetan. There is something quirky about it that makes the film a watchable fun ride. Aadama Jaichomada is like a T:20 match fast and thoroughly enjoyable". IANS gave 3 stars and wrote, "Aadama Jaichomada, at two hours, attempts to be a crime-thriller as well as a sports-based comedy. But it only succeeds as the latter, and fails to do justice to the former form...Despite a weak story, the humour in Aadama Jaichomada will bowl over the movie buffs". The Hindu wrote, "Picture yourself reading an average joke book. You flip page after page, reading the jokes, many of which barely evoke a smile. Just as you decide to try one last one before flinging the book away, you find a tickler that gets you laughing. Aadama Jaichomada is this joke book that surprises you with a witty line or funny joke just when you are resigned to expecting nothing". Cinemalead rated a 2.5 out of 5 and wrote,"Short and Fun"

Box office
The film opened to good response and collected 4 crore (Share) in its first week end. The film collected 10.22 crore (Share) worldwide at the box office.

title: Monica Lionheart

text:
Monica Ginestre, better known by her stage name Monica Lionheart, is an American electro-acoustic, singer-songwriter, producer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist. She began her music career as a member of Iluminada, is the founder of the electronic rock band Zigmat, and collaborated in Pacha Massive before forming her own solo project in 2012.

Early life
Lionheart's early education began with piano lessons starting at the age of 5, while a large portion of her childhood was spent traveling from Spain to Puerto Rico.  It was then that she began learning about songwriting and improvisation. Her father's eventual work transfer led Lionheart to San Antonio, Texas where she would spend her teenage years learning the flute and acoustic guitar. Later, while still in San Antonio, she attended Douglas Mac Arthur High School and played in their jazz and marching band, as well as singing in her school and church choirs.

However, it was not until she got accepted into her high school's advanced music theory class where she would finally begin to make her mark as a successful musician.  She went to win the award for Best Original Composition, which led her to collaborate with the San Antonio Symphony's resident composer, Robert Xavier Rodríguez.

College years and iluminada
Lionheart attended the Berklee College of Music, where she received the Berklee Entering Student Talent Scholarship and the Ford Salute to Education Academic Award. There she majored in education and performed/composed with the electronica group Iluninada, as well as performed in the string and electronic ensemble Ideoplastic. iluminada quickly established themselves as one of the most innovative bands in Boston. Fusing elements of rock, electronic dance music, and trip-hop into a style of their own, the group united a diverse set of musicians whose distinct backgrounds collectively defined the band's sound. During this time, the band released a full-length album entitled The Ethereal Current and soon after, an EP titled, Transparent Walls. The band toured much of the US and England, opening up for acts such as Reel Big Fish and Wishbone Ash. One of iluminada's most memorable shows was at the Middle East Downstairs with Kaki King and St. Vincent (Annie Clark) as openers.

After graduating cum laude at Berklee College of Music, she decided to continue her education at New York University where she received the Dean's Academic Scholarship and graduated with a master's degree in Music Technology.

Zigmat
While in New York, Lionheart formed the electronic rock band Zigmat.  The band became known as an explosive electro-rock band from New York City. The mixture of electronics, live rock, and Latin dance beats were often compared to the Brazilian Girls, Metric, Daft Punk, and the  Yeah Yeah Yeah's. Lionheart's bilingual lyrics, unpredictable light shows, and audience interaction combined and produced an exhilarating and multi-faceted performance. Zigmat began playing around New York City's East Village in clubs such as Piano's and  Nublu, garnering a reputation as an unforgettable high-energy outfit. After selling out the well-known Mercury Lounge, they were invited to participate in rock festivals CMJ and LAMC. Their debut self-titled album was released in 2007 and became the first stepping stone for the band in the US.  From there, Zigmat (Monica Lionheart) was asked to perform for a television commercial starring Gisele Bundchen. The commercial featured the song "So Sure".

Zigmat was later joined by various top musicians while touring in Mexico, Brazil and the US, in between playing notable venues in New York City. Such sold-out performances were held at venues such as the Canal Room, Highline Ballroom and Joe's Pub. Zigmat has also performed for the LAMC Festival and was chosen as the best emerging artist of LAMC in 2009, also participating at the CMJ festival and SXSW.

In May 2009, Zigmat released Sounds of Machines, their second full-length album in the US. The first music video to be featured from that album was "Machine." The album consists of nine tracks, each showing a different aspect of Lionheart's vocal agility, which Billboard called “the band’s secret weapon.” Four of the tracks deal with the pains, wants and frustrations of love: the album opens with the introspective, electro-ballad "Whisper" that describes longing and regret, then moves into the attitude of anger and abandonment with the track "Decide", demanding the lover to “shut up” in both English and Spanish. "Light of the Moon" paints a dark picture of pseudo-sadistic lust while the track "So Sure" depicts an unrequited love. Monica uses poetic lyrics in the tracks "Watch The World", "Between Bullets", and "Fire," each one displaying Lionheart's upper registers with a hushed seraphic quality. "Don't Tire" is the album's other Span-glish track, and "Machine" closes out the album with the band's signature haunting riffs.

Billboard 's review about the album, “the band’s debut release blends cultures and enigmatic styles…[and it] kneads in a dash of rock and pop flair and has already inspired comparisons to such established trip-hop acts as Massive Attack, Air and Goldfrapp.” The Improper Magazine says, “the electronic sounds they make forged with [Lionheart’s] out-of-this-world vocals and tantalizing effects make Zigmat one extremely arresting and sensual musical concoction.”

Zigmat's music has been featured in the film Backseat (by Bruce Van Dusen) and has garnered local television appearances in New York City (Hit Records Nightlife Videos) and Philadelphia (NBC's The 10! Show) as well as national TV appearances on Fox's Fearless Music TV, Blender and on SiTV in Los Angeles. Radio broadcasts include Batanga Radio, KPFA in Los Angeles, and KCRW's The Morning Becomes Eclectic.

In 2009, Zigmat signed with Spanish label Actua Musica and began touring for much of that year, performing at Europe's Sonar Festival held in Barcelona, Spain whose appearances also included Radiohead, Air and Sigur Ros. Broadcasts on Radio Nacional de Espana, Radio 3 and performances at the Circulo de Bellas Artes all ushered Zigmat into the European music circuit, as well as features in Vanity Fair, Blender and Billboard Magazine in American, European and Brazilian editions.

“Zigmat’s music is edgy, rockin’, melodic and dreamy. It's a wonderful fusion that makes for great energy in their recordings and on stage.” — DJ Raul Campos, KCRW

Pacha Massive
In 2010, Lionheart dismantled Zigmat and began working with singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer, Ramon Nova of Pacha Massive. The group released its debut album All Good Things on Nacional Records. Pacha Massive has shared the stage with artists like  Morcheeba, Taio Cruz, Ozomatli, Café Tacvba, Los Amigos Invisibles, Aterciopelados, Sidestepper, among many others. MTV Tr3s selected Pacha Massive as the channel's first Descubre and Download artist, featuring the single "Don't Let Go". They also co-hosted the popular weekly countdown show Mi TRL.

Nova approached Lionheart regarding collaboration on Pacha Massive's sophomore release, If You Want It. Lionheart worked with Nova on writing and singing on track "Lejos Cerca" and sang on the singles "If You Want It" and "Tonight".

Solo career
While teaching music at Central Park East elementary school in Harlem, New York. Lionheart performed, composed and collected a body of work whose texture was more organic and mellifluous than the music in previous projects. She spent the summer of 2011 in Santorini, Greece where she completed Indian Summer. In 2012, she made a return to her former label while signing with Latin Alternative music powerhouse, Nacional Records.

Indian Summer
Lionheart's Indian Summer was released on April 14, 2012 by Nacional Records and was well received by critics in the U.S. Produced by Alon Leventon and Lionheart, the songs feature Lionheart's acoustic guitar in straightforward arrangements. Music videos were released for the album's songs "Escape Strategy", "Let Go", "Rock to Ankles" and "Relampago" which went into MTV and VH1's rotations and received features in  Latina Magazine, Remezcla and Billboard Magazine.

One of Indian Summers two Spanish tracks, "Relampago" was used in an episode of the HBO Latino series  Capadocia. During this period Lionheart has also worked instrumental music for various commercials, taught, toured and organized music workshops at colleges and universities such as STUK in Belgium, Midi Station, in Brussels and throughout the world with the band Dizzy Ventilators.

"The Future"
In May 2014, Monica continued her solo career while releasing "The Future", a playful, one-off single produced by Yusuke Yamamoto and herself.  She released a video for the track which was premiered on Concert Blogger on June 10, 2014.  There are two remixes of the single, one produced by the Barcelona-based alt-pop band The Pinker Tones and the other by Dj Afro of Los Amigos Invisibles.

Missed Connections
Produced by Steve Wall (Pearl and the Beard) with Dan Molad (of Lucius) and Ryan Alfred (of Calexico), Missed Connections was released January 29, 2016. Time Out Magazine says, "Singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist Monica Lionheart layers her frosty voice over wafty electropop in a manner that suggests dry ice—and lots of it—plus St. Vincent, and early Cure records interpreted by a tropicalia singer. It's gorgeous stuff, in other words." Lionheart recorded duet with artist Gabriel Rios and the strings were written and recorded with Yoed Nir (Regina Spektor, Rufus Wainwright) for the song "Ghost" the sixth track on the record.  "Recommended for fans of Goldfrapp, St. Vincent or Portishead, this Brooklyn-based Berklee alum brings a freshness to the electro-pop genre with her distinctive vocals that are both haunting and enchanting," says Paste Magazine.

Bodega Beat

Produced by Monica Lionheart, the multi-lingual reggaeton flavored album Bodega Beat was released May 28, 2021. An upbeat new release that charms and excites in equal measure. According to Broken 8 Records, "the first single, ‘Baila’ is a perfect illustration of Monica’s sound, as well as a dynamic precursor to the release of her upcoming new album. Filled with a warm, retro-pop sound that incorporates flowing analog synths, dynamic Latin vibes, and a wistful nostalgic vibe, everything about the new single is built to impress and polished to perfection." Bodega Beat features several vocalists that play off each other perfectly and a glistening electro-pop sound that perfectly blends with undercurrents of trap and reggaeton.

Bodega Beat layers a maelstrom of different styles and samples to create one of the most immersive records that 2021 has heard so far. Bringing a freshness and expansive quality to the blossoming electro-pop genre, Monica's new album shines with her distinctive vocals that are absolutely and effortlessly enchanting says Broken 8 Records.

title: Oakland Farm

text:
Oakland Farm is an historic farmhouse at the northern end of Oakland Street in Camden, Arkansas.  The -story cypress house was built in 1886, and stands on one of the largest () and most prominent estates in Camden.  The house was built by William Frank Tate, descendant of Ouachita County's first English settler, John Tate, and remains in the Tate family.  It has a T shape, with a main block and a series of additions which give it that shape.  A veranda supported by Doric columns spans the width of the main facade.

The house, and a small parcel of land surrounding it, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.  The larger farm property also includes the listed Tate's Barn.
