Call of the Sea Review – Xbox X|S
December 20, 2020 Jack Moulder	Leave a comment
The South Pacific is an inherently mysterious section of the world, even with all of our advances in geographical technologies. It's been a common setting for mysterious and supernatural stories for decades, and so it fits perfectly with Call of the Sea, a recent release on the Xbox family from Spanish developer Out of the Blue Games. Set in 1934, Call of the Sea puts you in the shoes of Norah Everhart who is looking for her missing husband Harry. Harry Everhart set out on an expedition to the South Pacific in an attempt to find a cure for Norah's mysterious illness and it's up to Norah and the player to find out where he went and why.
It would be easy to label Call of the Sea as a walking simulator as it possesses a number of similarities what that particular type of game, but in truth it is a puzzle game at its core. The narrative is broken into six chapters, each of which is focused around a certain hub area of the island that Nora finds herself on and each of which revolves around a central puzzle. There are often smaller mysteries to solve in each chapter, some of which serve as clues to the larger task or as puzzle pieces themselves, but the most impressive fact is that each of these feels like they serve a purpose. There aren't really any puzzles for the sake of puzzles: each task that you undertake feels like it either drives the story forward or gives background to either the island, its inhabitants or the party that Harry travelled with.
I don't want to get too far into the details of the story as, with Call of the Sea being a relatively short game, the narrative pacing ramps up pretty quickly and revelations begin to come thick and fast as soon as the second or third chapter. With this chapter structure, though, and with the fact that each chapter takes place in a different area of the island, I found that Call of the Sea was a perfect example of a game that I could take my time with. I broke the game down into playing a chapter each night of the week, and while I'd say that the full experience probably lasted me between five and six hours, this artificial pacing helped with both the delivery of the story and with allowing my brain to approach the switching of puzzle types between each chapter.
Call of the Sea manages the difficulty of its puzzles with a deft touch, and while there were a couple of moments about halfway through where I wasn't sure what I was being asked to do, for the most part the difficulty curve struck a fine balance between offering up a challenge and giving you time to get up to speed with what was being asked of you. In a similar way to how the puzzles tie in with the world, the world ties in with the puzzles. Whenever I was stuck I always reminded myself that the answer was in front of me somewhere and I likely needed to look at a potential solution from a different angle. There weren't any major leaps of logic that needed to be taken and furthermore, there weren't any solutions that felt alien to the world of the game. Any objects needed felt like they would be at home on the island and any solution, once discerned, felt like a natural climax to the puzzle that it belonged to.
The changes in scenery between each chapter allow Out of the Blue games to display the range of their artistic and design abilities, and this comes with a stunning use of color at times. For reference, I played Call of the Sea on an Xbox Series X and while it wasn't the most impressive game that I've played in terms of visual fidelity, the colors on show popped out of the screen, especially in some of the areas in jungles or on beaches. As you progress through the game the palate starts to become a little more muted, but this is balanced by some impressive design work that allows for otherwise strange landscapes to feel authentic and visually interesting. Throughout, Call of the Sea feels like a tangible world and this adds a general sense of realism to proceedings.
There are a couple of negatives to the experience however, and while these weren't enough to take away from my enjoyment of the game too much, they came up enough that they stuck with me once the credits rolled. While a lot of the game's story is delivered either environmentally or through audio/text logs, there's a good chunk that is delivered in the form of monologue from Norah herself. While there are some interesting revelations delivered through this medium, a lot of the speech doesn't feel natural either in writing or delivery and this can ruin the sense of immersion that Call of the Sea otherwise does such a great job of establishing. Elsewhere, there is a lot of disparity between the words spoken by characters and the subtitles that appear on screen, both in terms of different words or phrases being used or entire sentences being structured differently. Again, this wasn't enough to ruin the game for me, but it did feel a little bit like the pulling back of a curtain to reveal the artifice behind.
Despite these minor issues, I had a great time with Call of the Sea and each evening I was excited to get back to Norah's journey and see what was in store for me in that session. The game is admittedly quite short and lacking in any real reason to replay through, unless you're looking to hoover up any remaining story logs or earn further achievements, but in terms of narrative pacing I feel as though Out of the Blue Games balanced their narrative aspirations with the gameplay functionality pretty well. The strongest aspect of Call of the Sea, though, is the puzzle design by quite some distance. I'm happy to admit that I'm often too easily swayed to look up the solution to a tricky puzzle online, but Call of the Sea set out its stall with regards to this early and well enough that I had faith in the game to guide me to the solution as long as I was willing to work at it. It's not so much that Call of the Sea is an easy experience (as it isn't) but more the fact that Out of the Blue Games have enough confidence in both the player and the experience that they have designed to allow things to play themselves out naturally.

Irish libraries respond to recent Pearson announcement of price increases
Irish Librarians condemn publisher Pearson's 400% price hikes
Irish Librarians and library-related organisations wish to express our dissatisfaction with the recent announcement of upcoming increases to content provided by the publisher Pearson. That this news has been communicated as a fait accompli, less than two weeks before taking effect leaves little room to adopt a strategy to compensate for the impact on already strained budgets. There has been no rationale presented for any such increase which in real terms could see libraries spend an additional 400%+ for the same content with the same functionality.
Coming at a time when libraries have had to increase spending on electronic resources and spend sizeable amounts to protect the safety of our users during the continuing pandemic, this increase seems particularly egregious. Libraries have consistently engaged with the publishing community over the course of the pandemic and have welcomed initiatives which ensured that users would have access to critical collections, despite the impact of COVID-19. In light of this, the decision by Pearson is arbitrary, ill-timed and lacking in any spirit of collegiality to customers who will suffer by this move. We call on Pearson to reconsider the planned increases and to enter meaningful discussions with customers. The scale of the increases proposed is further evidence of the dysfunctional nature of the ebooks market as highlighted in our statement of October 2020 [2] and underlines the need for a government investigation. We will continue to identify alternatives, building on strong recent momentum towards the use of Open Educational Resources for teaching and learning.

São Bernardo do Campo () is a Brazilian municipality in the state of São Paulo.

It is part of the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo. The population is 844,483 (2020 est.) in an area of .

History
The city was founded by João Ramalho in 1553 and was known as Vila de Santo André da Borda do Campo de Piratininga, soon transferred to another nearby place, safer from hostile tribes. It is, however, historically perceived as the first Brazilian settlement built away from the sea. The original settlement was then resettled as São Bernardo, became a parish in 1812 and became a municipality in 1890. In 1938, it became a part of the Santo André district only to be separated again in 1945, as the aftermath of an action from a group of entrepreneurs led by Wallace Cochrane Simonsen, who was eventually appointed as the first mayor of the newborn municipality.

The area where São Bernardo do Campo, Santo André, São Caetano do Sul, and Diadema are located was once a farm owned by Benedictine monks, who owned enslaved Africans. By the second half of the 19th century, European immigrants started to come to the area, mainly from Italy. Italians settled in cottages in the rural area of São Bernardo do Campo that were called colônias. By the beginning of the 20th century, Japanese immigrants arrived, most of them going to the neighborhood called Cooperativa.

Industry, particularly metal works, thrived in the city during the 1960s, when São Bernardo do Campo became known as Brazil's  Automobile Capital (Portuguese: a Capital do Automóvel). Many of these plants have since relocated to other regions but the automobile industry remains a vital part of the history of São Bernardo do Campo. The city is also known for its furniture industry developed by Italian immigrants, who helped São Bernardo do Campo become a high-tech industrial hub.

Industrialization also attracted migrants from the Brazilian Northeastern region in the 1960s. Among them was the family of  Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who grew up in the region. The future president of Brazil worked in automobile factories in São Bernardo do Campo in the 1970s, becoming a union and anti-military dictatorship figure.

São Bernardo also contributed to the development of Brazilian cinema, mainly during the 1950s and 1960s, thanks to the Vera Cruz studios, which produced a great number of movies and revealed many notable actors. This is also the birthplace of the football player Anderson Luís de Souza, better known as Deco.

Geography

Location
São Bernardo do Campo is located in the top of the Serra do Mar, on the Atlantic plateau. It occupies an area of 407.1 square kilometre.  The altitude varies from a low of 60 meters above sea level at the foot of the mountain range where Rio Passareúva with the Rio Pilões rivers meet, to 986.5 meters at the peak of the Bonilha, in the Montanhão neighborhood.

Climate
According to the Köppen climate classification São Bernardo do Campo has a humid subtropical climate. On average the maximum temperatures is 24.0 Celsius, with an average low of 14.8, an average of 19.09 Celsius. In 2010 the summer temperatures reached  in January–February. In summer, normally only for a few days, heavy storms occur, reaching  of precipitation. Winter is the coldest of the ABC region. In July and August the temperature can reach  or less, but towards the end of winter the heat returns with temperatures reaching . The summer of 2012 was not as hot as the previous 5 years. Also the average temperature has decreased over the years to  in 2011 and  in 2012.

Demographics
As of the census of 2006, the population was 803,906, making it the second most populous suburb of São Paulo, and fourth most populous city in the state. The population density was 1,937.02/km2.

Source: PNAD.

The population are primarily Afro-Brazilians and Luso-Brazilians. There are significant populations of Italian, Arab, Asian (mostly Japanese) Spanish and German descendants.

Economy

São Bernardo do Campo, from the 1950s had its economy based on the auto industry - At that time, the  Brazilian Federal Government headed by Juscelino Kubitschek decided to create an executive board to promote local carmaking - the Grupo Executivo da Indústria Automobilística (GEIA) (Executive Group for Automobile Industry). Providing, among other regulations, a minimum amount of national components to integrate the vehicles, it stimulated the implantation of carmakers and auto parts industries.

At that time, the German companies Volkswagen, Karmann-Ghia and Mercedes-Benz, as well the American Willys-Overland started to build their factories in São Bernardo do Campo, later followed by Simca, Toyota and Scania.

In 1967, Willys-Overland has been bought by Ford Motor Co. In that same year, the French carmaker Simca became a Chrysler plant, ending its operations in 1981 when it was acquired from Volkswagen to be their truck division. This plant has been shut down definitely in 1990 and gave place in 2006 to a warehouse from one of the biggest retail stores in Brazil, Casas Bahia.

Together with those first automakers in Brazil, other factories established themselves in the city, e.g. paint industries as BASF, which produces Suvinil brand paintings, and auto parts industries that support them, as well the largest industrial plant in the world of Colgate-Palmolive toothpaste.

In the 1990s, the economy of the region had a wide variation, which increased the importance of the service sector in the city. The trade is diverse and found in every neighborhood, especially the traditional trade Marshal Deodoro Street and environs, and the nationally known Center Furniture at Jurubatuba street, which gives São Bernardo do Campo the name of Furniture Capital. The construction and urban reform was boosted in 2008 with the construction of the southern section of the Rodoanel Mário Covas beltway, a ring road in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, Avenida Pery Ronchetti with duplication and channeling Saracantan stream, plus the construction of many buildings, mostly residential, with reforms of the Metropolis Mall and the Golden Shopping Mall.

, São Bernardo do Campo exports $3.59B (USD) worth of goods and represents 1.48% of Brazil's total exports.  Transportation manufacturing and machine manufacturing make up the majority (84%) of the municipality's exports.  The top five material goods exported by São Bernardo do Campo are Delivery Trucks (14%), Tractors (14%), Vehicle Chassis (13%), Cars (13%), and Vehicle Parts (12%).

Transportation
The city is a core part of the ABCD region (A = Santo André, B = São Bernardo do Campo, C = São Caetano do Sul, D = Diadema).

Roads
 Via Anchieta (SP-150): state toll road operated by Ecovias dos Imigrantes company, links the city of São Paulo to Port of Santos and neighboring towns. Established in 1949, it is an important traffic route for trucks carrying goods to be exported from Santos. As Via Anchieta has many exits throughout the city, they become important traffic routes to allow people's displacement inside São Bernardo do Campo. Due to its strategical placement, many large factories are based at the edges of the road, for example Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz plants.
 Rodovia dos Imigrantes (SP-160): state toll highway operated by Ecovias dos Imigrantes company, links the city of São Paulo to the southern shore of State of São Paulo, specially São Vicente and Praia Grande municipalities. It started its operations in 1976 as a one-way highway (switched from uphill to downhill direction depending on the traffic intensity) and gained its definitely downhill path in 2002.
 Perito Criminal Eng. Antonio Carlos Moraes/Interligação do Planalto (SP-041): short state road designed to link Via Anchieta and Rodovia dos Imigrantes roads, allowing vehicles to change from one to the other in case of special operations, traffic constraints or weather difficulties. Those three roads, among with some other ones in the shore, compose the Sistema Anchieta-Imigrantes, fully operated by Ecovias dos Imigrantes.
 Rodovia Índio Tibiriçá (SP-031): state road operated by the Departamento de Estradas de Rodagem (DER-SP) connecting São Bernardo do Campo to the city of Suzano, in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo. It is also used to have access to the municipalities of Ribeirão Pires and Rio Grande da Serra, as well Santo André's Paranapiacaba district.
 Caminho do Mar (SP-148): historical state road operated by the Departamento de Estradas de Rodagem, it connected São Bernardo do Campo to the city of Cubatão, thus allowing access to the Port of Santos and the shore itself. It has been fitted to serve automobiles in 1913 but, with the establishment of Via Anchieta and Rodovia dos Imigrantes, its path seemed to be not suitable for traffic anymore. Today it is used only to reach Rodovia Índio Tibiriçá and some neighborhoods along the Billings Reservoir, although its old mountain path can still be reached by walking.
 Rodoanel Mário Covas (SP-021): state toll highway operated by SPMar company in its south lot and by CCR RodoAnel in its west lot, it is a beltway intended to connect all major roads and highways surrounding the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, thus decreasing the need for trucks to cross the city of São Paulo. At its current completion, it links Via Anchieta and Rodovia dos Imigrantes directly to Rodovia Régis Bittencourt (heading South of Brazil), Rodovia Raposo Tavares (westbound of São Paulo State, Mato Grosso do Sul State), Rodovia Castelo Branco (westbound of São Paulo State, North of Paraná State), Via Anhanguera (North São Paulo state, Goiás State, Brasília) and Rodovia dos Bandeirantes (central region of São Paulo State, Viracopos International Airport - VCP). It also reaches city of Mauá and thru expressways, gives access to Rodovia Ayrton Senna, therefore to Gov. André Franco Montoro International Airport in Guarulhos - GRU).

Public transportation
Public transportation in São Bernardo do Campo is provided by ETCSBC (Empresa de Transporte Coletivo de São Bernardo do Campo) and EMTU (Empresa Metropolitana de Transportes Urbanos, "Metropolitan Urban Transport Company").

Local bus service is provided by SBCTrans - Consórcio São Bernardo Transportes, which has owned the rights to operate the ETCSBC - Empresa de Transporte Coletivo de São Bernardo do Campo routes in 1998. Buses and minibuses are used in this operation. Intercity buses are also available connecting São Bernardo do Campo to Diadema, Mauá, Osasco, Ribeirão Pires, Rio Grande da Serra, Santo André, São Caetano do Sul and São Paulo. Many bus companies operate such routes under permission of EMTU - Empresa Metropolitana de Transportes Urbanos de São Paulo, a state-owned company.

EMTU is also responsible for the Corredor São Mateus-Jabaquara bus system, connecting Diadema, Santo André, Mauá and South and East regions of São Paulo. It is operated by METRA - Sistema Metropolitano de Transportes. As it uses a busway in most of its path, it is considered a bus Rapid Transit system. It also provides access to Line 1 of São Paulo Metro thru Jabaquara terminal, the Jabaquara Bus Terminal and Line 10 of the commuter rail CPTM in Santo André station. This bus system is often called as trolleybus system as it employs many trolley buses. This system is considered part of the Metropolitan Transport Network of São Paulo.

The integration among local bus service, intercity buses and trolleybus system can be done at Ferrazópolis Bus Terminal and São Bernardo Bus Terminal. The latter is located beside Terminal Rodoviário João Setti, a bus terminal which also provides long-distance and interstate bus routes, giving access to the coast and countryside of São Paulo, Santa Catarina, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Bahia, Ceará, Paraíba, Mato Grosso and Rondônia states, as well as the Brazilian capital Brasília.

Media
SBC is also known because of the number of small Newspapers that the city has, for example: Jornal da Balsa, Jornal Hoje, Tribuna do ABCD, and more.

There is the Diário do Grande ABC a daily news about all region, the paper is located in Santo André, but it is distributed in all ABC and some parts of São Paulo.

Entertainment and sport
The Cidade da Criança () is an amusement park located in the center of the city behind the former Vera Cruz Film Studios. It was the first theme park in Brazil and in Latin America. It opened on October 10, 1968.

The local association football clubs are rivals São Bernardo Futebol Clube and Esporte Clube São Bernardo. The city also hosted the 2011 Pan American Women's Handball Championship.

La Lecitin Colesterol Acil Transferasa (LCAT) es una enzima que cataliza una reacción reversible de trans esterificacion. Transfiere un ácido graso desde la posición 2 de la fosfatidilcolina (lecitina) a una molécula de colesterol libre, formando así un ester de colesterol y lisofosfatidilcolina.

Síntesis
Esta enzima es sintetizada y secretada principalmente por el hígado, también es sintetizada en el cerebro pero su función cerebral aún no está determinada, ya en la circulación la LCAT se une a su cofactor (apoA-I) el cual está presente en la superficie de las partículas de HDL luego ocurre la catálisis de la reacción de esterificación del colesterol, dicha reacción puede suceder en sentido contrario dependiendo del gradiente de concentración de los sustratos o productos.

La reacción catalizada es la siguiente:

Deficiencia

La deficiencia de LCAT en humanos está asociada a una fuerte reducción en los niveles de HDL-C y apoA-I.

Existen dos formas genéticas de deficiencia de LCAT, deficiencia completa y deficiencia parcial.

La deficiencia parcial también conocida como enfermedad de ojo de pez, presenta una característica opacificación progresiva de la córnea debido a la acumulación de depósitos de colesterol, también está relacionada con presentar niveles muy bajos de HDL-C e hipertrigliceridemia.

Una deficiencia completa de LCAT está asociada con anemia hemolítica e insuficiencia renal progresiva lo cual termina en falla renal.

A US official was killed as an armed mob attacked the US Consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi. The attack came hours after protesters stormed the US Embassy in Cairo in indignation over an American film they say insulted the Prophet Muhammad.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has confirmed that one official from her agency was killed in the attack.
The Benghazi attackers set fire to the building, according to witness reports, who say much of the consulate was burned. There were reports of fierce gunfights between the attackers and Libyan security forces. Rocket-propelled grenades were fired at the consulate from a nearby farm, said Abdel-Monem Al-Hurr, a spokesman for the Libyan Interior Ministry's security commission.
"The Libyan security forces came under heavy fire, and we were not prepared for the intensity of the attack," Hurr said. At least three members of the security forces were taken away in an ambulance, Reuters reported.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland strongly condemned the attack on the US diplomatic mission.
Earlier, over 2,000 protesters stormed the US Embassy in Cairo in neighboring Egypt, some of them removing the American flag and trying to replace it with a black flag reading "There is no God but Allah." This was the first time ever that the US embassy in Egypt had been attacked or breached.
The film that is believed to have triggered the uprisings was produced by a US-based group that includes Terry Jones, a Christian pastor involved in a Koran-burning scandal that triggered mass protests in Afghanistan. On the anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001, he released a video promoting the film that portrays the Prophet in a "satirical" manner, according to Jones.
The embassy in Cairo, in a statement, condemned "the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions."
"This movie must be banned immediately and an apology should be made … this is a disgrace," one of the Egyptian activists told Reuters, calling on President Mohamed Morsi to take action.
Ahmed Ben Helli, the Arab League deputy secretary general, has also condemned the film, saying it "contained insults against the Prophet Mohammed" and "was denounced by Christians and Muslims" across the Arab world.
Nader Hashemi, a professor of Middle East and Islamic Politics at the University of Denver, told RT that such protests could spread through the entire Arab world, as there is no shortage of extreme groups – the same applies to the US – that would love to co-opt the incident for their own cause.
RT: The protests escalated into attacks on the US diplomatic missions at a breakneck pace. Are you surprised at this, and what does this say about pent-up anger at America in the region?
Nader Hashemi: I am surprised largely because no one has ever heard about this controversial film. All of a sudden we are told that it's a cause for deep concern that it is in production. It's led to a protest in Egypt and in Libya, but I think that it is important not to exaggerate the scale of the protest. This is not Egyptian society boiling over, this is a very small group of extremists – about 15 hundred who attacked the US embassy. What we have here is, you know, the extreme elements both in the United States and in Egypt mutually reinforcing one another.
RT: Terry Jones, the Florida pastor who burned the Koran earlier, has promoted the film. Is this a specific case of some Americans spreading anti-Islamic sentiment, or does it represent the general attitude in America towards the Muslim world these days?
NH: No, this is an extreme lunatic fringe of the American religious spectrum. When Terry Jones began burning the Koran on his front lawn in Florida, he was widely condemned by most decent people. But you know, people like this, I think are looking for a reaction – they are looking for precisely what we saw today in Cairo and in Benghazi. They deeply are trying to promote a clash of civilizations. And thankfully both groups both in Egypt and the US are in a minority, in an extreme minority, and let's hope it stays there.
RT: Given what we've seen so far, do you expect much more fallout from this?
NH: Well, it remains to be seen. What disturbs me is that this is a film no one knew anything about. Now it has generated into protests – the fear of this spreading to other countries. There are groups such as we saw today in Egypt and in Libya that thrive on this type of controversy. They want to gain publicity for their own cause by turning an incident such as this into a major international issue. So yes, there is fear that we are going to see copycats of demonstrations throughout the Arab and Muslim world. And let's hope that cooler heads can prevail.
Meanwhile, British Channel 4 has called off another controversial documentary questioning the origins of Islam, citing security concerns.
"Islam: The Untold Story," which claims that there is little contemporary evidence of the origins of Islam, drew over 1,000 complains after it was screened two weeks ago.
"Having taken security advice we have reluctantly cancelled a planned screening of the program, Islam: The Untold Story. We remain extremely proud of the film, which is still available to view on 4oD," the channel said in a statement.
Metropolitan police say they are unaware of any advice leading to the channel's decision to cancel the screening. But sources close to the channel say it was received from "relevant security authorities."

A series of aluminum complexes bearing [ONNO]-type ligands were prepared using m-xylylenediamine and modified salicylaldehyde. These complexes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. These complexes were employed in L-lactide and rac-lactide polymerization. Upon activation with isopropanol, complex 3 showed the highest activity (monomer conversion 97.4%) amid these aluminum complexes for the ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide and complex 2 showed the highest stereoselectivity for the ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide providing isotactic polylactide (PLA) with a Pm of 0.70. The polymerization kinetics utilizing 2 as an initiator was researched in detail. The kinetics of the polymerization data revealed that the rate of polymerization was first-order with respect to the monomer and the initiator. There was a linear relationship between the L-lactide conversion and the number-average molecular weight of PLA.

Hewlett-Packard Company (), más conocida como HP, fue una empresa de tecnología estadounidense,  con sede en Palo Alto, California, dedicada a la fabricación y comercialización de hardware y software además de brindar servicios de asistencia relacionados con la informática. La compañía fue fundada en 1939 por William Hewlett y David Packard, y se dedicaba a la fabricación de instrumentos de medida electrónica y de laboratorio.

El 6 de octubre de 2014, Hewlett-Packard anunció su división en dos firmas que cotizarían de manera separada en el mercado de valores, con lo que su negocio de computadoras e impresoras operaría independiente de su unidad de servicios y equipos corporativos.

El 1 de noviembre de 2015 se hizo efectiva su división en dos empresas: HP Inc., dedicada a las impresoras y las computadoras personales, y Hewlett Packard Enterprise, dedicada a los servidores, equipos de almacenamiento y redes, programas de cómputo y servicios para terceras empresas. En el proceso de separación se planea despedir a 5000 empleados de la firma.

Historia

Bill Hewlett y David Packard eran dos compañeros en la Universidad Stanford. En el garaje de su casa construyeron un oscilador de audio, un instrumento de prueba electrónico utilizado por los ingenieros de sonido.

Inició una carrera en equipos electrónicos de prueba y ensayo para laboratorios. Más tarde, en 1968 entraron en el negocio de las calculadoras electrónicas con gran éxito:
 HP 9100A (1968), la primera calculadora manufacturada por HP.
 HP-35 (1972), la primera calculadora de mano científica.
 HP-65 (1975), la primera calculadora de mano programable.
 HP-41C (1979), la primera calculadora de mano alfanumérica y expandible.
 HP-28C (1987), la primera calculadora capaz de resolver ecuaciones simbólicamente.

La mayoría de las calculadoras HP usan la notación polaca inversa, en inglés, Reverse Polish Notation o RPN.

HP entró al campo de las computadoras en 1966 con la 2116A, la primera de la serie HP 1000 diseñada para reunir y analizar los datos producidos por instrumentos de HP. Las computadoras HP 1000 son utilizadas para aplicaciones CIM, tales como supervisión y control de procesos, administración de alarmas y supervisión de máquinas.

En 1972, HP se ramificó, entrando en la informática comercial con la serie 3000, un sistema multiusuario que se hizo muy conocido por su extremadamente alta fiabilidad, especialmente para esa época. La serie 3000, de gran éxito, ha continuado siendo la principal serie de computadoras de HP y ha evolucionado hacia una familia completa de computadoras desde micro hasta macrocomputadoras. También en 1972, presentó la primera calculadora de mano científica, la HP-35, reemplazando la regla de cálculo e iniciando una nueva era de calculadoras de bolsillo. En 1982, fue presentada la primera estación de trabajo HP 9000.

La primera computadora personal de HP fue la Touchscreen 150, una computadora personal con MS-DOS que obtuvo solamente una aceptación modesta. En 1985, presentó la VECTRA, una máquina basada en el 286 que fue la primera de una línea completa de PC compatibles con IBM.

En 1984, HP revolucionó el mercado de las impresoras con su impresora LaserJet destinada al uso en oficinas, la cual ha establecido el estándar para la industria.

En 1986, presentó un nuevo diseño interno para sus familias 3000 y 9000 que condujo a la compañía a los años 1990. La nueva HP Precision Architecture proporciona un importante aumento en el rendimiento.

En 1989, HP adquirió Apollo Computer, que combinada con su propia línea hizo de HP el líder del mercado en estaciones de trabajo. Hewlett-Packard vende por encima de 10000 productos diferentes en el campo de la electrónica y la computación y ha ganado una reputación en todo el mundo por su ingeniería robusta y fiable.

En 2002, Hewlett-Packard adquirió Compaq Computer Corp. por 20 000 millones de dólares. Numerosos grandes accionistas de HP, incluyendo a Walter Hewlett, públicamente se opusieron al trato. Michael Capellas, entonces director ejecutivo de Compaq, dejó la compañía después de un breve tiempo como presidente de HP. Carly Fiorina se convirtió en la nueva director ejecutivo de HP y fue responsable de la compañía fusionada. Fiorina dirigió Compaq por cerca de tres años después de que Capellas se fue. Durante ese tiempo, HP despidió a miles de antiguos empleados de Compaq, su precio de acción generalmente declinó, las ganancias no se levantaron, y continuó perdiendo mercado frente a Dell. Encarando el despido desde una hostil junta directiva, Fiorina optó por irse en febrero de 2005 antes de que la junta pudiera despedirla. Mark Hurd tomó su lugar como director ejecutivo de HP. Muchos productos Compaq fueron remarcados con el letrero de nombre de HP, mientras que la marca Compaq permaneció en otras líneas de productos.

28 de septiembre de 2006 Hewlett-Packard compra VooDooPc

El 12 de noviembre de 2009, Hewlett-Packard adquirió la empresa 3Com, fabricante de productos de networking, por 2700 millones de dólares, o lo que es lo mismo, 7,9 dólares por acción. Según HP la compra estaba dirigida a impulsar su división de comunicaciones, especialmente en China, donde se centra buena parte de la actividad de 3Com.

El 28 de abril de 2010, Palm, Inc. y Hewlett-Packard anunciaron la adquisición de Palm por parte de HP, lo que representó la incursión en la telefonía móvil con dispositivos con gran potencial, pero principalmente la adquisición del sistema operativo multitarea webOS.

El 18 de agosto de 2011, HP informó que evaluaba un spin off de su división de computadoras tanto de escritorio como portátiles, las cuales representaban el 31 % de sus ingresos totales, así como el congelamiento parcial en el desarrollo de HP webOS. Meses después anunció que el negocio de microinformática continuaba siendo un pilar en su estrategia y mantendría por lo tanto su división de computadoras personales.

El 22 de septiembre de 2011, Meg Whitman fue nombrada como la nueva presidente y director ejecutivo de la compañía, reemplazando de esta manera a Léo Apotheker.

El 16 de diciembre de 2011, HP informó que liberaría completo el código de webOS, pasando este a ser OpenSource

A fines de julio del 2013, HP lanza su primera tableta con sistema operativo Android, la HP Slate7. Esta tableta funciona con Android 4.1.1, HP ePrint, WiFi, Micro SD expansible hasta 32 GB, procesador ARM A9 Dual Core 1,6 Ghz, lo que es adecuado para juegos 3D, batería de litio-ion de una celda de 13,4 WH 2 Ah, que es equivalente a 5 horas de reproducción de video, acelerómetro, o sea es necesario inclinarla y moverla para activar aplicaciones prácticas y juegos, peso de 370 g y lo más destacado es que cuenta con BeatsAudio (Beats by dre), lo que da una experiencia mayor de sonido y velocidad. Las desventajas es la pantalla es de 7" no disponible en HD, pero con resoluciones óptimas, cámara frontal tipo VGA y cámara trasera de 3 megapixeles.

El 1 de noviembre de 2015 se hizo efectiva su separación en dos empresas: HP Inc. y Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Instalaciones

Las operaciones globales de HP se dirigen desde su sede en Palo Alto, California, Estados Unidos. Sus operaciones en los Estados Unidos, se dirigen desde sus instalaciones en el condado de Harris a Texas, cerca de Houston. Sus oficinas en América Latina se encuentran en el condado de Miami-Dade, Florida, Estados Unidos, Cerca de Miami; Sus oficinas en Europa están en Meyrin, Suiza, cerca de Ginebra, pero también tiene un centro de investigación en el clúster París-Saclay, 20 km al sur de París, Francia.

El 23 de diciembre de 2008, HP lanzó iPrint Photo para iPhone, una aplicación de software descargable gratuita que permite la impresión de fotografías de 4 "x 6".

Controversias

Reexpresión
En marzo de 2003, HP reformuló su flujo de efectivo de operaciones del primer trimestre, reduciéndolo en un 18 por ciento debido a un error contable. El flujo de efectivo real de las operaciones fue de 647 millones, no de 791 millones como se informó anteriormente. HP transfirió 144 millones de dólares al efectivo neto utilizado en actividades de inversión.

Escándalo de espionaje
El 5 de septiembre de 2006, Shawn Cabalfin y David O'Neil de Newsweek escribieron que el abogado general de HP, a instancias de la presidenta Patricia Dunn, contrató a un equipo de expertos en seguridad independientes para investigar a los miembros de la junta y a varios periodistas con el fin de identificar la fuente de una fuga de información. A su vez, esos expertos en seguridad reclutaron investigadores privados que utilizaron una técnica de espionaje conocida como pretextos. El pretexto involucró a investigadores que se hacían pasar por miembros de la junta de HP y nueve periodistas (incluidos reporteros de CNET, The New York Times y The Wall Street Journal) para obtener sus registros telefónicos. La información filtrada estaba relacionada con la estrategia a largo plazo de HP y se publicó como parte de un artículo de CNET en enero de 2006. Desde entonces, la mayoría de los empleados de HP acusados de actos delictivos han sido absueltos.

Hardware
En noviembre de 2007 Hewlett-Packard lanzó una actualización del BIOS que cubría una amplia gama de computadoras portátiles con la intención de acelerar el ventilador de la computadora y hacer que funcionara constantemente, ya sea que la computadora estuviera encendida o apagada. El motivo era evitar el sobrecalentamiento de las unidades de procesamiento de gráficos (GPU) de Nvidia defectuosas que se habían enviado a muchos de los fabricantes de equipos originales, incluidos Hewlett-Packard, Dell y Apple.

El defecto se refería al nuevo material de embalaje utilizado por Nvidia desde 2007 en adelante para unir el chip gráfico a la placa base, que no funcionó bien bajo ciclos térmicos y era propenso a desarrollar grietas por tensión, cortando efectivamente la conexión entre la GPU y la placa base, lo que lleva a a una pantalla en blanco. En julio de 2008, HP emitió una extensión de la garantía inicial de un año para reemplazar las placas base de modelos seleccionados. Sin embargo, esta opción no se extendió a todos los modelos con los chipsets Nvidia defectuosos a pesar de que las investigaciones muestran que estas computadoras también se vieron afectadas por la falla. Además, el reemplazo de la placa base fue una solución temporal, ya que la falla era inherente a todas las unidades de los modelos afectados desde el punto de fabricación, incluidas las placas base de reemplazo ofrecidas por HP como una 'reparación' gratuita.

Desde este punto, varios sitios web han estado documentando el problema, sobre todo www.hplies.com, un foro dedicado a lo que ellos denominan el "encubrimiento multimillonario" del problema por parte de Hewlett-Packard, y www.nvidiadefect.com, que detalla los detalles de la falla y ofrece consejos a los propietarios de los equipos afectados. Se han presentado varias demandas por reclamos menores en varios estados, así como demandas presentadas en otros países. Hewlett-Packard también enfrentó una demanda colectiva en 2009 por sus computadoras con procesador i7. Los denunciantes declararon que sus sistemas se bloquearon dentro de los 30 minutos posteriores al encendido, de manera constante. Incluso después de ser reemplazado por sistemas i7 más nuevos, los bloqueos continuaron.

Demanda contra Oracle
El 15 de junio de 2011, HP presentó una demanda en el Tribunal Superior de California en Santa Clara, alegando que Oracle Corporation había incumplido un acuerdo para respaldar el microprocesador Itanium utilizado en los servidores empresariales de gama alta de HP. El 15 de junio de 2011, HP envió una carta de "demanda legal formal" a Oracle en un intento de obligar al tercer fabricante de software del mundo a revertir su decisión de descontinuar el desarrollo de software en el microprocesador Intel Itanium y construir sus propios servidores. HP ganó la demanda en 2012, requiriendo que Oracle continúe produciendo software compatible con el procesador Itanium. HP recibió 3 mil millones en daños contra Oracle el 30 de junio de 2016. HP argumentó que la cancelación del soporte de Oracle dañó la marca del servidor HP Itanium. Oracle ha anunciado que apelará tanto la decisión como los daños.

@keldandorin most boosters will not deliver a clean 3.3V output. So when the nrf consumes power to send, the voltage drops quickly. The nrf is extremely sensitive to voltage drops.
So yes, 3.3V can be better, but only if it stays at 3.3V.
I took the liberty to modify your topic subject to something more explanatory.
@keldandorin the key in what I wrote is extremely sensitive.
That means anything can disturb it.
@keldandorin i might be wrong here... (and im buying myself a Oscilloscope to learn more about this exact issue and how I can make EasyPCB even better) but my theory will at this point be that when the Soil sensor is on, you consume more current which goes through the booster, which in its turn due to more work makes more noice.
And also as @mfalkvidd said... the sensor itself can disburb.
If you search relay you will find alot of issues where the relay will disturb the radio as well.
@keldandorin - i think its a power issue, when the booster is regulating the power back up to 3.3v it introduces noice (small fluctuation in the electrical signal/voltage) into the circiut which affects the power (and therefore the function) on the radio.
It could also be as you said, a noice field which disturb the radio RF signal.
Im not an expert here, but im will try to gather as much info as possible and post good advice as soon as I have a Oscilloscope).
@keldandorin - ok, good to know... booster can be an issue since its related with power.
The nrf-chip is known to be really sensitive as @mfalkvidd said... capacitor is a must!
With the pa/lna version you need a good (and strong) power supply.
I have had several radios which couldnt connect at all because it was a bad clone.
If you want to be sure, order a genuine device from a known shop.
No offense intended, but the OP question could be rephrased to be "Why is my cheap booster setup a piece of garbage?" Honestly, how can anyone know the answer to that question given how little information is provided in the OP? For all we know he could be using an unmodified joule thief circuit--with all kinds of ringing--meant to power LED's on a Chinese solar garden lamp from the dollar store and wondering why it doesn't work.
like advised above, radio modules doesn't like so much switching converters (boosters stepup, or step down). In the best cases, it can remove a few db of the radio sensitivity, or more.
RPI power supply is not very clean too if i remember. the same for some computer usb.
LDO are better regarding this, due to their construction, but are less efficient than some switching converters.
What can help in general, is filtering directly after the switching power supply (using ferrites and capacitors), and add a few capas close to the radio.
For some ideas about improving pcbs.. , for rf etc, it is better to have a strong, wide, uninterrupted gnd plane/ counterpoise, not too much angle on the transmission line to antenna else it could act like a RF short.
Things like that can reduce rf efficiency, shift freq etc..
For more infos, lot of infos on google.
@scalz - agree, there are many PCB (RF) designers which suggest 4 layer board (and I think its the best)... but the price!
@keldandorin - im sorry, I think we need to start over and I was not clear enough.
To be able to help you without guessing (as I did above) please describe your problem a little better.
Go through https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/666/debug-faq-and-how-ask-for-help/ and see if that can help you. If not please post the questions posted in the topic "How to ask for help" and im sure we can all help you much better.
@keldandorin - ah, ok - but you still have a booster in the circuit even though its not connected directly to the radio. They (booster + radio) share a common ground for example and there are EMI to consider.
The answers above stand valid - as soon as you add something new to the circiut you change everything. The booster will need to provide more output and this can change the noice.
My suggestion would be to remove the booster and bridge Vin - Vout (on the booster pins) with a wire, add the soil sensor and watch the results.
For mitigating EMI/RFI, what I've found generally helps the most is: keep wire and trace lengths as short as humanly possible.
Usually that alone fixes it. Try that first. If still failing, add decoupling caps if the design doesn't already have them.
There's a whole litany of other things to try that might help, but they tend to be hit or miss.

HALLETT Peak
Route: Culp-Bossier (5.8, 8p)
Category: Colorado Summit Elev: 12,713 ft (note: the top of the route is not the summit) Rock Type: Gneiss & Biotite Schist
Partners: Dow Williams & Tristyn Butler
One of the classic moderate climbs in RMNP.
The northern profile of Hallett Peak is a hallmark of Rocky Mountain National Park, partly because it is so distinctive and partly because Hallett is visible from near the Bear Lake Trailhead, the most touristed trailhead in the park. The north face of Hallett is divided into three distinct buttresses: the First, Second, and Third Buttresses. The Second Buttress features the cleanest, sheerest rock. The classic Culp-Bossier route ascends the exposed prow of this buttress in 8 pitches.
(Hallett Peak has long been on my radar because the Northcutt-Carter route up the Third Buttress is included in Fifty Classic Climbs of North America. However, in July 1999, the first two pitches of the Northcutt-Carter route collapsed, and getting onto the route now involves some tricky climbing through friable terrain. As a result, the Culp-Bossier route seems to have stepped into the role of the must-do classic route on Hallett (Beckey lists the Culp-Bossier route in his book Hundred Favorite North American Climbs). Update: The following summer, I climbed the Northcutt-Carter route, which involved a spicy 10b start to get to the upper pitches. In my opinion, I think that Culp-Bossier and Northcutt-Carter are about equal is quality and both are worthy adventures. If you don't like the idea of climbing a loose pitch of 5.9+ rock to get onto the Northcutt-Carter route, then the Culp-Bossier is a good choice.)
We climbed Culp-Bossier as a team of three. We discovered that the belay stances on this route are not too comfortable for three, but we made it work. Dow and I swung leads while Tristyn—this was his first alpine multipitch route!—enjoyed following. Due to our early start to avoid a potential afternoon squall, we topped out on the summit ridge just before noon; we enjoyed a nice lunch basking in the sun before heading down. The approach and descent to Hallett are quick, and we were as efficient as can be for a team of three, so we were back to the car by early afternoon. Plenty of time to regroup and climb again the next day!
This page gives a trip report for our climb. Enjoy!

From Bear Lake Trailhead, follow the trail to Emerald Lake. Go left around the lake, scrambling through talus and then on a climbers' trail under the base of the wall. The route starts about midway through the second buttress, at a white/pink band of rock at the base of the wall and under and just right of a huge right-facing dihedral.
1. Nearing the base of the route. The start of the route is marked with an arrow.
5.6. Climb through the pink band and follow a right-facing corner for 40 feet. Traverse right along a narrow grassy ledge to a crack, then climb to a higher ledge and belay.
2. The huge right-facing corner of Pitch 1.
3. The crack above the ledge. I tried to climb it straight in and it was hard. It was much easier once I just face climbed beside it.
5.5. Continue straight up through the notch above, then work up and left to the base of a right-facing dihedral.
4. Dow starting off Pitch 2. Head through the notch in the upper left. This is a good landmark that you can see from the ground.
5.8. Climb the dihedral to a white roof, climb up and right on a ramp past fixed pins, turn a small roof, and continue up the subsequent dihedral to a stance.
5. The dihedral that starts off Pitch 3.
6. The ramp to the right. I found this part tricky on lead, partly because I didn't have quite enough slings for all the nuts I placed and pitons I clipped, so by the end of the pitch I was leading with some pretty bad rope drag.
7. A fixed pin. I was glad for these.
5.4. Head up and left through short corners and belay just left of "The Nose" on a grassy ledge.
8. 8. Short and easy.
5.6. Climb a small left-facing corner and the face above to a stance at the bottom of a left-facing dihedral.
9. Dow staring up Pitch 5.
10. Fun face climbing.
5.6. Climb the dihedral, then climb rightwards across the face to a belay on top of a giant block.
11. Looking up the start of Pitch 6.
12. Looking down the dihedral.
13. Tristyn having a blast on his first alpine climb. If I had not known it was his first alpine climb, I would have assumed he had been doing this for years.
14. I went pretty far right after the dihedral and belayed sitting on top of a large block below a ramp. I was unsure if I was at the correct belay spot, but there was this piton there, and it indeed provided a natural belay for the next pitch. One of the more comfortable belays of the route.
5.8. Climb the face just left of a right-facing dihedral and then climb steep cracks to a stance.
15. Pitch 7, perhaps the best climbing on the route.
16. Tristyn enjoying the route.
5.8. Climb up and then right of the big right-facing corner. Go all the way to the top of the wall.
17. Looking up Pitch 8.
Pleasant grassy slopes.
18. On the summit ridge of Hallett at the top of the route. The summit is in the background. You can scramble to the summit from here, but the summit is in the opposite direction from the descent, so we opted not to tag the summit.
From the top of the route, hike downwards along the ridge, following cairns. At the end of the last big buttress before a big descent to the next one, look for the chains that mark the first rappel. Make two raps (single 60). Then scramble down a gully eastward, and then jog back westward and scramble down a gully to the base of the Second Buttress. You end up a few hundred feet below the start of the route (5 minutes back to base). Note: The descent does NOT go down the huge gully to the east. This is apparently quite loose and harder than it looks.
19. Looking down the start of the descent down the shoulder of Hallett.
20. The rap station is on the nose of the last buttress before you have to go downhill quite a bit. We were involved in conversation and almost missed it. It's easy to miss unless you look for it!
21. The second rappel anchor.
22. Looking back up the upper descent gully just after the rappels.
23. The lower decent gully heads back towards the base of the route.
24. Looking back up the lower decent gully.
25. Looking at the descent gully from the base of the route. The descent gully is in the sun.
26. Some columbine in the descent gully.
27. The giant rockscar from the 1999 rockfall on the Northcutt-Carter route (as mentioned in the introduction, the Northcutt-Carter route is listed in the Fifty Classic Climbs of North America, but the rockfall eliminated the first two pitches of the route). According to several sources, the Culp-Bossier route is every bit as good (if not better) than the Northcutt-Carter route.
28. Hiking out. Hallett is in the background.
29. Nice Gneiss. The rock experienced such high temperatures and pressure that it folded.
30. Nice Gneiss.
31. On the hike out, we ran into a herd of elk on the trail. They seemed fairly ambivalent toward us homosapiens.
32. A young elk.
33. This chipmunk won't need to eat for a few days.

Trauma, and pseudo exfoliation syndrome (PXS) are the most common causes of vitreous prolapse other than cataract surgery and usually the vitreous prolapse after cataract surgery is due to one or both of these things.The reason the vitreous prolapses (comes forward from the back of the eye to the front of the eye) is because of a break in the zonules (which are like tiny wires that hold the lens in place like a trampoline) or the capsular bag that the lens sits in.In PXS the zonules become weak and are more likely to break or be loose during cataract surgery. If you have PXS and you had some trauma (it could be from when you were a child an took a ball to your eye) the zonules start to break and vitreous is more likely to come forward.
There are also a host of connective tissue diseases like Marfan's Syndrome, Weil-Marchesani, Ehlers-Danlos etc that also do similar things to the zonules.


The husband and I have been talking for some time about taking our first trip across the ocean some time next year, and have finally decided on a destination and time frame.
Fly from Jo'burg to Hamburg to arrive 3 August 2011.
Make our way to Frankfurt, spend a couple of days there and then fly back from Frankfurt to Jo'burg.

Indonesia's geophysics agency lifted a tsunami warning 34 minutes after issuing it following a major earthquake that sent huge waves crashing into the north-eastern coast of Sulawesi island.
The 7.5-magnitude quake and tsunami, which hit the city of Palu, about 1,500km (940 miles) from Jakarta and further along the coastline, has killed at least 420 people. Officials said on Saturday the death toll was likely to rise significantly.
Hundreds of people had gathered for a festival on the beach in Palu on Friday when waves as high as six metres smashed onshore at dusk, sweeping many to their death.
The geophysics agency, BMKG, faced criticism on Saturday on social media, with many debating the timing of the tsunami warning.
The agency said it followed standard operating procedure and made the call to "end" the warning based on data available from the closest tidal sensor, around 200km from Palu.
"We have no observation data at Palu. So we had to use the data we had and make a call based on that," said Rahmat Triyono, head of the earthquakes and tsunami centre at BMKG.
He said the closest tide gauge, which measures changes in the sea level, only recorded an "insignificant" 6cm wave and did not account for the giant waves near Palu.
"If we had a tide gauge or proper data in Palu, of course it would have been better. This is something we must evaluate for the future," said Triyono.
It was not clear whether the tsunami, which officials say hammered Palu and the surrounding area at extremely high speeds measuring in the hundreds of kilometres per hour, occurred before or after the warning had been lifted.
"Based on the videos circulating on social media, we estimate the tsunami happened before the warning officially ended," Triyono said.
Baptiste Gombert, a geophysics researcher at the University of Oxford, said it was "surprising" the quake had generated a tsunami.
Friday's quake was recorded as a "strike-slip" event where neighbouring tectonic plates move horizontally against each other, rather than vertically, which is what usually generates a tsunami.
"There is some speculation that there was a landslide under the sea, which displaced a lot of water and caused the tsunami," he said, adding the Palu's narrow bay may have concentrated the force of the waves as they moved toward the shore.
Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, a spokesman for the disaster agency, told reporters his team had been "preparing to send public warnings that were easy to understand" when the tsunami warning was "suddenly ended".
The communications ministry said repeated warnings were sent out to residents via text message, but Nugroho said the quake had brought down the area's power and communications lines and there were no sirens along the coast.
Indonesians took to social media to question the BMKG's move to lift the tsunami warning and a failure to release information in a timely manner.
"So upset ... the warning was lifted ... although a tsunami happened," said Twitter user @zanoguccy in a direct message to BMKG.

The irresistible songs of ABBA and a rousing tale of the 1899 newsboys' strike to ring out in Stanley Park's scenic Malkin Bowl
Vancouver, BC — Audiences will bathe in the warmth of a Greek island and witness a fight for what's right this summer, when Theatre Under the Stars (TUTS) presents Mamma Mia! and Disney's Newsies, running alternate evenings July 5–August 17, 2019, at Stanley Park's glorious Malkin Bowl. A beloved Vancouver tradition since 1940, TUTS' early bird tickets are on sale now through June 15.
"Last year, more than 40,000 musical theatre fans came through our gates and we hope to welcome even more in 2019 with two fabulous productions that will leave audiences buoyant with cheer," says TUTS Board President Naveen Kapahi. "This summer is all about inspiration, with two musicals that will lift hearts in entirely unique ways. Mamma Mia! may very well be the most joyful musical ever created, bringing love and light to everyone who experiences it. Disney's Newsies is a fiery true tale of conviction, where a scrappy group of underdogs sets spirits aflame by standing up and fighting for what is right."
TUTS' 2019 season offers two stunning musicals: one that tells the lighthearted tale of a mother and a daughter who embark on a hilarious quest to discover the identity of her true father; the other tells the stirring account of a ragged band of newspaper boys and street urchins who strike for fair pay and humane working conditions in 1899 New York City.
Set on a Greek island paradise where the sun always shines, box office record-breaking Mamma Mia! brims with non-stop laughs, explosive dance, and the magic of ABBA's hit songs: 'Dancing Queen,' 'Take a Chance on Me,' 'Super Trouper,' 'SOS' — and the list goes on! More than 60 million people the world over have fallen in love with the characters, story, and music that makes Mamma Mia! the ultimate feel-good show.
Playing the lead role of Sophie Sheridan is Keira Jang, returning for her fourth TUTS season. Her mother, Donna Sheridan, will be played by Caitriona Murphy, backed by the rest of the Donna and the Dynamos band — Sheryl Anne Wheaton (Rosie) and Lori Zondag (Tanya). Starring as the three possible father figures are TUTS veterans Stefan Winfield (Harry Bright), Matt Ramer (Bill Austin), and Peter Monaghan (Sam Carmichael), who was last seen as the Beast in the 2016 production of Beauty and the Beast.
Returning to the director's chair is Shel Piercy, who will transport audiences to a sunny world of romantic hijinks and musical memories. Fans will fondly remember his previous directorial extravaganzas: Beauty and the Beast and Mary Poppins. Choreography is by Shelley Stewart Hunt, with Wendy Bross Stuart as Music Director, Francesca Albertazzi as Set Designer, and Christina Sinosich as Costume Designer.
A soaring spectacle of powerful song and high-kicking dance, Disney's Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message for the whole family. At the turn of the 20th century, New York City had its papers delivered by an army of ragged orphans and runaways called 'newsies.' But when newspaper owners raise distribution prices at the newsies' expense, this band of misfits unites to strike against the unfair conditions. Filled with inspiring songs such as 'King of New York,' 'Santa Fe,' and 'Carrying the Banner,' this Disney film turned Tony Award-winning Broadway hit inspires everyone to seize the day!
Returning to the TUTS stage for the first time in more than 10 years is Adam Charles (Jack Kelly), joined by Daniel Curalli (Davey Jacobs) and Jordyn Bennett (Les Jacobs) playing sibling newsies and close confidantes. Jovanni Sy makes his TUTS debut as publishing magnate Joseph Pulitzer and Julia Ullrich returns for her third season as a young journalist (Katherine Plumber) who reports on the newsies' strike. Christopher King is Music Director, with Albertazzi as Set Designer, and Sinosich on Costume Design.
The talented Julie Tomaino will make her TUTS directorial debut with this incredibly moving show, and will also be choreographing the musical. Long-time followers will recall her stellar choreographic direction in the previous TUTS productions of Hairspray and Shrek: The Musical.
