Metzler, Stuttgart 2018, ISBN 978-3-476-04681-9, S. 151–161. Schütky (* 30. Juli 1817 in Kratzau; † 9. Juni 1893 in Stuttgart) war ein aus Böhmen stammender Sänger (Bassbariton), Komponist, Chorleiter und Opernregisseur.

Leben
Franz Josef Schütky wurde als Sohn eines Beamten im böhmischen Kratzau geboren. Sein Vater betätigte sich in seiner Freizeit als Laienschauspieler - eine Leidenschaft, die auch den Sohn ergriff. Schon früh zeigte sich auch Josefs musikalisches Talent. Er erhielt Violin- und Gesangsunterricht und sang bis zum Stimmbruch in der Kirche Solosopran. Daneben kam er in Kontakt mit der Bildenden Kunst und erhielt von Wenzel Führich Zeichenunterricht. Joseph Max weckte in ihm außerdem die Liebe zur Bildhauerei. Da er aber das Leinengeschäft seines Großvaters übernehmen sollte, erlernte er das Handwerk des Webers und arbeitete zunächst als Geselle in Komotau.

Aufgrund seiner schönen Stimme wurde Schütky dazu gedrängt, seinen Beruf aufzugeben und sich dem Gesang zu widmen. Schließlich ging er ans Konservatorium in Prag, wo er von 1837 bis 1840 bei Giovanni Gordigiani Gesangsausbildung erhielt. 1840 debütierte er am Landständischen Theater in Linz in der Titelrolle von Donizettis Oper Belisario. 1842 kehrte Schütky nach Prag zurück. Nachdem er in einer Konservatoriumsaufführung von Mozarts Oper Don Giovanni gesungen hatte, wurde er von Johann August Stöger für das Ständetheater verpflichtet. 1844 wechselte er an das Gräflich Skarbek'sche Theater in Lemberg. Das Lemberger Theater gehörte, neben denen in Prag und Budapest, zu den bedeutendsten Provinzbühnen der Habsburgermonarchie. Dort konnte Schütky große Erfolge feiern, und zwar sowohl beim Publikum als auch bei der Kritik, die ihn als "Perle unserer Oper" bezeichnete. Aufgrund politischer Unruhen (die zwei Jahre später zur Revolution von 1848 führten) musste er die Stadt jedoch bereits 1846 wieder verlassen. Auf Empfehlung des bekannten Bassisten Josef Staudigl kam Schütky als dessen Vertreter an das von Franz Pokorny geleitete Theater an der Wien. Dort blieb er bis 1848, als Pokorny aufgrund finanzieller Schwierigkeiten dem gesamten Ensemble kündigen musste. Nachdem Schütky kurz das Stadttheater Salzburg geleitet hatte, ging er 1849 nach Hamburg an das dortige Stadttheater. Bis 1854 trat er dort etwa 800 Mal auf. Dabei sang er 70 Partien in 59 verschiedenen Opern. 1853 vertrat er auf Empfehlung von Mathilde von Marlow, die ihn aus ihrer Hamburger Zeit kannte, als Gastsänger am Königlichen Hoftheater in Stuttgart den Bariton Johann Baptist Pischek. Bereits sein erster Auftritt in Die Hugenotten von Giacomo Meyerbeer war ein sehr großer Erfolg, was den Tenor Heinrich Sontheim zu der Bemerkung veranlasste:

Im darauf folgenden Jahr wechselte Schütky endgültig nach Stuttgart, wo er bis zu seinem Tod fast 40 Jahre später bleiben sollte. Er sang 138 Partien in 120 Opern (auch bei zahlreichen Gastspielen in Prag und verschiedenen deutschen Städten). Dabei lagen ihm nach Aussage von Adolf Palm vor allem Rollen mit "dämonisch-düsterem Kolorit" wie etwa der Pizarro in Fidelio, der Kaspar in Der Freischütz, Mephisto in Faust oder die Titelrolle in Der fliegende Holländer, komödiantische Rollen dagegen weniger.

Ab 1862 war Schütky zusätzlich als Opernregisseur tätig. Außerdem übersetzte er mehrere fremdsprachige Opernlibretti ins Deutsche.

Neben seiner Bühnenarbeit trat er häufig als Konzert- und Oratoriensänger auf, vor allem in Aufführungen des Vereins für Klassische Kirchenmusik.

Ab 1858 leitete Schütky den Kirchenchor der Stadtpfarrkirche St. Eberhard. 1867 war er Mitbegründer und anschließend langjähriger Leiter des Württembergischen Cäcilienvereins. Von 1868 bis 1872 lehrte er außerdem am Stuttgarter Konservatorium.

Schütky genoss in Stuttgart enorme Popularität. Er starb im Alter von 75 Jahren in Stuttgart. Sein Grab befindet sich auf dem Pragfriedhof.

Zwei Töchter von Franz Josef Schütky wurden ebenfalls Sängerinnen, nämlich die Sopranistinnen Fernande Anna Schütky (1845–1889) und Amélie Schmautz-Schütky (* 1856).

Kompositorisches Schaffen
Franz Josef Schütky komponierte vor allem Musik für den Gebrauch im Gottesdienst, darunter 7 Messen, ein Te Deum und verschiedene Gradualien, aber auch weltliche Lieder und Chöre. Mehrere seiner Werke erschienen noch zu seinen Lebzeiten im Ebner-Verlag in Stuttgart und wurden nicht nur in Deutschland, sondern auch in der Schweiz und in Amerika häufig gesungen.

Ein erheblicher Teil von Schütkys musikalischem Nachlass ging im Zweiten Weltkrieg verloren.

Sein heute noch populärstes Werk ist wohl das siebenstimmige Pfingstgraduale Emitte Spiritum. 1997 erschien darüber hinaus beim Carus-Verlag seine Missa in d op. 7.

Freight shipping from West Virginia to Rhode Island is easier than ever with FreightCenter. Our simple quoting and booking process will enable you to get instant freight rates from all the top shipping companies and start booking your freight shipments in a few short minutes. FreightCenter makes it affordable to ship freight from West Virginia to Rhode Island by LTL, Truckload, Rail, or Intermodal with our guaranteed competitive freight rates.
West Virginia is a state located primarily in the Appalachian Mountains. The lowlands see mild winters and hot summers, while the higher elevations are prone to large amounts of snow. The cornerstone of the economy is the coal mining industry. The extensive railroad system formed as a result of the coal industry, and most West Virginia freight moves by rail. Trucking can be difficult in the extremely mountainous areas, and West Virginia freight shipping prices reflect this difficulty. However, there is an extensive highway system in the state. LTL freight shipping can be difficult to find for an affordable price due to the low volume of goods moving through the state.
Rhode Island is a very small state located on the northeastern Atlantic coast. The state has numerous ports and bays including the Port of Providence, one of the largest deep water seaports in the New England area. The state economy is based largely on manufactured goods, there is usually a steady stream of Rhode Island freight moving by truck. As a high-consumption state, outbound Rhode Island freight shipping rates are usually the least expensive. A high volume of goods moving through the state makes LTL shipping affordable. Although Rhode Island is the nation's smallest state, the proximity to larger and busier states means shipping prices are fairly low and normally stable.

My two pence about the British elections
In the 2015 United Kingdom elections for seats in the 650-member British House of Commons, which holds nearly all of the governing power at the national level in the UK, were held yesterday. Here's my two pence (in the UK, the British pound, the national currency, is divided into 100 pence) about what transpired last night across the pond from my home country of the United States.
First-past-the-post elections are ridiculously unfair
If there was ever a textbook example of how first-past-the-post elections can result in wildly disproportional results, the 2015 British elections would be it. The Conservatives, led by right-wing Prime Minister David Cameron, won an outright majority of seats in Parliament with only about 37% of the national popular vote. Another party that benefited greatly from first-past-the-post is the Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP), a left-wing Scottish separatist party. Despite winning less than 5% of the national popular vote, the SNP won all but three of Scotland's 59 seats in Parliament, or 56 seats, 8.6% of all seats, entirely because they only contested the Scottish seats for obvious reasons. Even though the left-leaning Labour, led by Leader of the Opposition Ed Miliband going into last night's election, collapsed in this election for reasons I'll explain below, Labour won 232 seats, or not quite 36% of the seats in Parliament, with only slightly over 30% of the national popular vote, thus not collapsing quite as much as their popular vote total would suggest. Three parties that were screwed over by the first-past-the-post system were the far-right UK Independence Party (UKIP), the left-wing Green Party of England and Wales (Greens), and the Liberal Democrats (Lib Dems), who partnered with the Tories in the previous governing coalition. The UKIP received 12.6% of the national popular vote, the Greens received 3.8% of the total vote, and the Lib Dems received 7.9% of the total vote. Despite that, the UKIP and Greens won a single seat each, and the Lib Dems won eight seats, or 1.2% of all seats. To give you a general idea of how disproportional this is, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), a right-wing unionist party in Northern Ireland that contested 16 of the 18 Northern Irish seats, will have the same number of MPs as the Lib Dems despite the Lib Dems getting over 2.2 million votes more than the DUP, and the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), a party which contested 15 Northern Irish seats and is similar to, and in an electoral pact with, the DUP, will have the same number of seats as the UKIP and the Greens combined, despite the fact that the UKIP and the Greens combined received over 16% of the total vote and the UUP received less than 0.5% of the total vote.
This is mostly due to three factors: First, in many constituencies, no candidate received a majority of the vote. When that happens in a British parliamentary constituency, the candidate with a plurality of votes is elected to the Commons. Second, the UKIP and the Greens received a significant minority of the popular vote nationwide, but, because their votes were largely spread out over the constituencies they contested, they only won a single seat each because they only got the most votes in a single constituency. Third, the SNP, the Northern Irish parties, and the left-wing Welsh separatist party Plaid Cymru only contested seats in one of the four British constituent countries and received a significant share of the vote in the constituent country they contested seats in.
There are several ways that Britain can make its electoral system more representative of the British populace. One idea would be to maintain first-past-the-post as a core system of election, but, if the first-past-the-post result is not proportional, a variable amount of leveling seats would be added to Parliament, so that parties end up having a number of seats that are proportional to their national popular vote share. How this system would work is, if the first-past the post result for 650 seats is not proportional, a calculation for a 651-seat House of Commons, with all seats not won by an independent candidate being allocated to each political party in proportion to their national vote share, is conducted. Should the 651-seat Commons calculation yield a result in which one or more parties end up with fewer seats than the number of seats they won under first-past-the-post, similar calculations are done for a 652-seat Commons, a 653-seat Commons, a 654-seat Commons, and so on, until each political party has at least as many seats as they won by first-past-the-post, and each political party has a number of seats that is proportional to their national vote share. Another idea would be to implement instant-runoff voting, in which voters are allowed to give multiple preferences for who they want to represent them in the Commons, but maintain constituencies electing a single member to Parliament. Yet another idea would be to implement single non-transferable vote, where voters would have only a single vote as they currently do, but Members of Parliament (MPs) would be elected from multi-member constituencies, with the top n candidates, in which n is the number of seats to be filled in each constituency, winning seats in the Commons. Other ideas involving multi-member constituencies include multi-member instant-runoff voting (basically a combination of instant-runoff voting and multi-member constituencies), single-transferable vote (a preferential system that is used in some multi-member constituency systems around the world), and the party-list system (where voters are given a single vote in a multi-member constituency, and seats are allocated to political parties in proportion to the number of votes each party receives in a constituency).
One thing I do like about Britain's parliamentary elections is that each constituency reports all of its votes at once, and the candidates in each constituency are standing on the same stage as the results are announced. This is vastly different than how American and Canadian election results are announced, in which each polling place usually reports results individually, with media outlets making projections in election night coverage based on the polling place results and final results being officially reported weeks, if not months, after the date of the election, with candidates not being present for the announcement of official results.
Labour's anti-Scotland rhetoric cost them any chance of forming a government
During the campaign, Labour, which will, once again, be the main opposition party in the Commons, spent most of their campaign railing against Scottish National Party (SNP) leader Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP, and Scotland as a whole. This cost Labour a large number of constituencies in Scotland that, prior to yesterday's elections, were longtime Labour strongholds, and probably helped to give the Greens gain a sizable share of the popular vote that may have helped the Tories win some seats in England. Had Labour ran on increased devolution to Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, they might have held on to a lot of their seats in Scotland and may have prevented the Tories from getting a majority by themselves. Instead, the Tories have an outright majority in the Commons, and Nicola Sturegon is effectively the voice of the Scottish people in Parliament.
For Labour to go back to Tony Blair-type centrist leadership would likely put Labour in an even worse position politically than they currently are for three reasons: One, they'd gain virtually nothing in Scotland, unless the SNP alienates some voters who supported them last night. Two, they'd give the Greens a even larger base of support among current left-wing Labour supporters who would be alienated by another Blair-type leader at the helm of Labour. Three, they wouldn't gain enough from the Tories, who benefit heavily due to right-wing media bias from both the public media and the corporate media in the UK, the SNP, and possibly other parties to make up for any losses to the Greens and possibly other parties.
For Labour to at least have a chance at getting back in power, they would need to win back their former Scottish strongholds that went SNP last night by supporting increased devolution to Scotland, and they would need to win over voters they lost to the Greens by adopting and supporting a progressive, isolationist platform.

What Democrats here in the United States can learn from a major progressive victory in Alberta
The Rachel Notley-led Alberta New Democratic Party (Alberta NDP), which ran on a platform consisting nearly entirely of progressive ideas and values, is projected by CBC News to win a majority of seats in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, and, therefore, is projected to be the governing party in Alberta's provincial government. Both the Canadian federal government and each Canadian province uses a parliamentary system to determine control of government.
The Alberta NDP's platform is very progressive on nearly every issue they gave a position on in their platform, especially when one considers that the Canadian province of Alberta is about as right-wing as the U.S. state of Texas is. The NDP's platform included planks supporting increasing the minimum wage to $15/hour, getting the undue influence of money out of politics, enacting stronger ethics laws, improving access to health care, investing in public education, raising income taxes on Alberta-based corporations and the wealthiest 10% of Albertans, investing in child care, providing for the safety and well-being of Albertan children and women, and, surprisingly for an oil-rich state, investing in renewable energy.
The NDP's victory in Alberta speaks volumes about how the corrupt, corporate Democratic Party "leadership" here in the United States is failing progressives and the American people on many levels. Very few Democrats are willing to openly run as progressives, and, as a result, the Democratic Party often has trouble winning races outside of states and constituencies that strongly favor the Democrats to begin with. I would strongly encourage Democratic leaders to take a look at how the Alberta NDP won big in tonight's provincial elections and use the NDP's Alberta victory as a model to win back both houses of Congress, as well as many state and local offices.
If progressive-minded people can win in Alberta, progressive-minded people can win anywhere!

Nation-wreckers seek to dilute collective sense of 'we' in India
The summer of manufactured grievances is upon us once more, a periodic and unfailing cycle, seen in repeated clockwork regularity in the last three years. The high priests and articulators of this summer of grievances sit in the rarefied and acclimatised climes of privileged quarters of various cities and towns across India and the world, and spin end-of-the-world stories for India.
They either spin tales or narrate false ones that have been conjured up by nation-wreckers of all hues and types. They have been doing this from the summer of 2014 and as each year passes, their grievances intensify on seeing that all their nefarious prediction has fallen flat.
Their most vocal and most deftly-engineered original grievance was that India under PM Narendra Modi would rapidly fall apart, unravel at the seams and be consumed in a great conflagration. I have often pointed out in this column on how such doomsday narratives have a great market in some quarters in the West and in many quarters in India, and how these tale-spinners are showered with great munificence and accolades. Manufacturing grievances, looking for causes against which they can engineer paper revolutions is their full-time occupation.
But to their utter and deep dismay, the unravelling at the seams has not taken place and three years down the line, Modi remains in place with undiminished energy, with undiluted commitment to the actual idea of India, with an undeterred will to bring about a lasting change for the good in our collective life. For them, to see Modi's unfaltering march is intellectually and politically crushing as well as debilitating.
Some among these false articulators have gone silent, others are mulling the option of striking a compromise by forsaking their previously held positions—this is not something out of the ordinary, they hold their conviction lightly and have easily forsaken them in the past for survival and aggrandisement—while some of them have decided to continue the struggle by other means. It is this other means that has to it a great element of subversion—it works to dilute and then decimate this collective sense of 'we' in the nation.
The principal focus of this group has been to prevent any effort or initiative that strengthens and reiterates this collective sense of 'we'. They condole, for example, the elimination of terrorists in the Valley. On behalf of terrorists and separatists, they put forth justifications for the act of terrorism, some of them belong to political parties; in this case, Congressman and family servitor Mani Shankar Aiyar, for example, with the blessings of their top leadership, breaks bread with the separatists and openly states that India holds Kashmir by force.
They shed tears when terrorists and Naxals are gunned down, but are silent when our soldiers are martyred. They are always clinical in their analysis when espousing the 'human rights' of terrorists, but invariably find fault and are full of disdain for the valiance of our forces, projecting the Indian state as a colonial state, as an occupational and exploitative one is what they excel in.
Their political ideologies and reading are put to use to explain the violence indulged in by elements opposed to Indianness. They practice 'intellectual and political untouchability' while making a display of being liberals—in fact, their liberality makes them always side with India's enemies who wish to see her mired and bogged down by a million grievances. They fan conflagrations, act through subterfuge, generate societal tensions and then cry wolf.
But they face a wall of resistance to their designs and intentions whenever a 'we' strengthening national narrative begins to triumph.

Thanks to Moondreamer, who has discovered that TWO of Gabriel Byrne's latest films–Le Capital and Le Temps De L'Aventure (Just A Sigh)–will be screened at the Munich Film Festival (Filmfest München), which runs June 28 – July 6. The link takes you to the English language version of their website (yay!).
Le Capital screens June 29 and 30 as part of the Cinemasters Section, which is appropriate because director Costa-Gavras is a Cinemaster if ever there was one! The films in this section are candidates for best international film: "World-renowned directors present their latest films in competition for the ARRI/OSRAM Award for Best International Film… CineMasters presents 16 of the most outstanding productions of the year from around the world." Other films in this section include: Ain't Them Bodies Saints, Everyday, Only God Forgives, and La Vie D'Adèle (Blue Is The Warmest Colour). Directors in this section include: Alejandro Jodorowsky, Michael Winterbottom, Nicolas Winding Refn, and James Gray.
Le Temps De L'Aventure, directed by Jérôme Bonnell, screens twice on the Fourth of July (!) and also on July 5 and 6 as part of the Spotlight Section, which is described as "The Ultimate Festival Feeling: Stars in front of or behind the camera, feature films with massive audience potential, during and after the festival – that's what characterizes the films in the Spotlight section." Other films in this section include: The East, Fill The Void, Foxfire, Mr. Morgan's Last Love, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, and Trance. Directors include Mira Nair, Danny Boyle, Laurent Cantet, and Zal Batmanglij.

This month's news is all about writers–including Gabriel Byrne! So fetch a cuppa tea or a coffee (or lemonade if you are feeling particularly summery), sit back, and enjoy a literary update on our man.
Gabriel Byrne published a (very) short story in the June/July Esquire Magazine compilation called How To Be A Man. That is what I thought, anyway. Turns out this is more complicated.
Narrative4 uses story exchanges as a tool for social change.
Our first project, in partnership with Esquire, is "How to Be a Man," a collection of stories by more than 100 of the world's greatest authors.
For unlimited access to all of the pieces below, please join us by making a donation to our not-for-profit initiative. It's a great way to enjoy spectacular short fiction and become part of our effort to change the world, one story at a time.
The Founding Committee includes Reza Aslan, Colum McCann, chairman and cofounder, and David Wroblewski. The Honorary Committee includes Gabriel Byrne and Salman Rushdie and many, many others.
Authors in the How To Be A Man project include: Roddy Doyle, Patrick McGrath, Laura Caldwell, Ben Fountain, Téa Obreht, Michael Cunningham, James Frey, Liz Moore, Colum McCann, Salman Rushdie, Ian McEwan, Khaled Hosseini, James Lee Burke, and Edna O'Brien. These are the stories I've read so far. There are many, many more. Some are quite short, others a bit longer. All are touching and some are disturbing in a way that I appreciate.
You can visit the Narrative 4 blog and their Facebook page to keep up with their activities.
There is a great article/interview with Colum McCann at the New York Times in which he talks about Narrative4 and also his new book, Transatlantic.
And now the final piece of the puzzle falls into place. This is what Narrative4 is all about. Radical empathy. Yes.
I never knew Colum McCann attended my alma mater, The University of Texas at Austin. How cool is that? And how cool that Gabriel Byrne is spending his time with such amazing writers and activists. No vacation for him. No sir.
Forum Members will find a nice surprise in the Gabriel book thread, so head on over there!
Esquire on the web and Esquire on Facebook have some info, but buying the magazine is the ultimate goal, of course.
Benjamin Black, AKA John Banville, is back with Book 6 in his Quirke series: Holy Orders. This is good news, of course, but it is especially good news for those of us who are eagerly anticipating the Quirke series on television. Why? The first TV series is comprised of the first three novels in the series. And now, with number 6 available in August, there will be three more books that can be adapted for Part 2 of Quirke! Yes, ok. I am getting a bit ahead of myself here, but still. One can hope.
When we sit down to write, who and what we are, what we can become, resides in the words that we string together in the hope of some sort of communication. So far, when Banville writes of murder and mayhem, he becomes Black.
Suffice it to say that there is a second murder worthy of Martin McDonagh at his tricksy best. The bad end messily and the guilty remain unpunished. That's how it was in the "devil era" (Joyce's phrase) when the roost was ruled by the "dragon men" (Thomas Kinsella's).
This time, Quirke is still heavily smoking and drinking too much. But his befuddlement seems to arise from less quantifiable sources. His ongoing relationship with an actress is becoming tepid, his usual acuity seems blunted, he is more haunted than he has been so far.
Black has provided an arc of development for Quirke that will surely be grist to Gabriel Byrne's creative mill as he assumes the part in the forthcoming TV series.
The prospect of getting a belt of the crozier was no small threat in 1950s Ireland, and the power wielded by the Catholic Church provides a sinister undertone to Benjamin Black's Holy Orders (Mantle, €15.99). The sixth in the increasingly impressive Quirke series from John Banville, courtesy of his crime-writing alter ego, Holy Orders opens with the discovery of a corpse in the canal near Leeson Street Bridge in Dublin.
Leaning heavily on what the reader knows of scandalous revelations in the decades to come, Black concentrates on character and mood, deftly creating a malign and poisonous atmosphere that further disorientates an investigating hero who has long been prone to alcoholic self-medication, abrupt mood swings and vivid hallucinations – all, it would seem, the outworkings of a mind damaged in its impressionable youth by abuse suffered in a religious institution. A fascinating character, Quirke is scrupulously self-critical and all the more poignant for his awareness of his failings and the responsibility he bears for the damage he has himself wrought.
Charged with foreboding, the tale advances to the funereal rhythm of a muffled drum until Black unveils the devastatingly bleak noir climax.
While I am on the subject, I must note that my crime novels, written under the name Benjamin Black, sprang out of a screen commission. RTÉ and ABC television in Australia had asked me to write a miniseries to be set between the two countries. The script I wrote in collaboration with Roy Heayberd, who was working at the time for Tyrone Productions, the film wing of the Riverdance company, would have made three one-hour episodes, telling a dark story of political and religious chicanery in the 1950s.
After a long delay it became clear that the series would not be made, and when my agent, Ed Victor, suggested one day that I might consider doing a crime novel, I hit on the idea of turning the script into a book. Thus Christine Falls was born. The irony is that three of the Benjamin Black novels have now been filmed by the BBC, with Gabriel Byrne playing the part of my protagonist, Quirke. The first episode is Christine Falls. I have not seen it yet, but I have high hopes.
To mark the publication of Holy Orders, Benjamin Black, aka John Banville, will be in conversation with Olivia O'Leary to discuss this new book, the forthcoming TV series and the film of The Sea on June 12 at 6pm at Smock Alley Theatre, Exchange Street, Dublin, followed by a book signing and a glass of wine. Tickets €5 from The Gutter Bookshop (01 6799216) or Smock Alley Theatre (01 6770014).
I have read the first book in Richelle Mead's series Vampire Academy and I can seriously recommend it to you–especially since it is summertime and you are headed out to the beach anyway. This is fast reading (one night for me) and thoroughly enjoyable if, like me, you are not afraid of vampires and you have fun imagining Gabriel Byrne playing one.
The film is scheduled for release on February 14, 2014. Yummy.
Principal photography has commenced [in London] on Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters, based on the first book in Richelle Mead's New York Times best-selling series.
Directed by Mark Waters from a screenplay by Daniel Waters, the film will shoot at Pinewood Studios and on location. It centres on two 17-year-old girls who attend St.Vladimir's Academy, a hidden boarding school for the Moroi (mortal, peaceful vampires) and the Dhampir (half-vampire, half-human guardians to the Moroi).
Zoey Deutch and Lucy Fry lead the cast, which also includes Olga Kurylenko, Gabriel Byrne, Joely Richardson and Danila Kozlovsky.
Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters is produced by Deepak Nayar of Kintop Pictures, Don Murphy and Susan Montford of Angry Films and Mike Preger of Preger Entertainment. The film will be executive produced by Stuart Ford of IM Global and Harvey Weinstein of The Weinstein Company.
"It has been the perfect storm with Vampire Academy, an amazing series of books, the writer of one of the best high school movies ever and the director of one of the greatest high school movies ever, a great crew and a wonderful cast," added Murphy and Montford.
IM Global handle sales on the film, which will be distributed by The Weinstein Company in North America. eOne have picked up the rights for the UK, Canada and Spain, while other distributors include Universum (Germany), Metropolitan (France), Hoyts (Australia), Ster Kinekor (South Africa) and Sun Distribution (Latin America).
Twilight separates itself from other YA Vampire novels in one very specific way. Its author, Stephenie Meyer, has openly admitted on numerous occasions that she did not do any research whatsoever on vampires, before writing Twilight. Everything about the Twilight vamps, from their pale, red-eyed, fangless faces to their strengths and weaknesses as vampires; came entirely from Meyers own imagination and the little that she already knew about vampires.
Moroi – described as benevolent vampires, they are alive, mortal and born.
Dhamphir – the half-human/half-vampire offspring. Originally born from Moroi mixing with humans, and the more frowned upon mixing of some Moroi and Dhamphir.
Strigoi – the undead, evil vampires, who are made and not born.
The fact that she did research and that it is based in mythology and folklore shows us that even the basis for these two series are completely different.
to the world of vampires, don't you agree?!
Hope you are enjoying the new features and the Paul Shipper artwork!
This blog post is like a stuffed candy store.
I, Anna to close Brussels Film Festival next week. Le Capital opens in Montreal on July 26. Finally.
When will North American distributors see the merit of theatrical releases of tender and subtle films like I, Anna and Le Temps de l'aventure over here? We are tired of being clobbered with blockbuster films that leave us cold. Guess I'll have to pester my local art house cinema – or move to Europe.
So many good things to read about here, so I just have a big smile on my mouth and in my soul. It is wonderful that Gabriel is working on so many different things!

The vast majority of adults in the United States have access to a credit card of some description. Whether it's a 'bad credit' card, a platinum, only-for-the-wealthy card, or anything in between, the chances are you have one – or have had one in the past.
However, these little cards are actually something of an unknown to most of us, and while we are happy to spend on them, many people are unaware of the facts.
With this in mind, here are a few things you should be aware of when building debt on a credit card – knowing the facts will help you avoid making some serious debt mistakes.
Before you even take out a credit card, make sure you check your rating with one of the credit reference agencies. Your score is the single biggest factor in the decision-making process when it comes to setting your interest rates. Yes, those rates you see advertised might be attractive, but lenders only give them to people with excellent credit. If you have less than a perfect score, you'll end up paying more interest.
If you have a credit card debt and are only paying back the minimum each month, the amount of money you owe will just grow and grow. As usatoday.com suggest, it's better for you to pay off your card every single month in full, so you don't attract any interest payments at all. Failing this, make sure you pay as much as possible, as your minimum payment won't even cover the interest charges in many cases.
Most credit card debts are unsecured, meaning you don't have any capital to lose should you default on your obligations. While it's not a good idea, you can often use this to your advantage to come to a settlement agreement with your lenders. According to debtsettlement.co, you should always consult a settlement lawyer or financial expert beforehand. But, if you are struggling to pay back your credit card debts it can often be a good route to ease your financial worries.
That said, if you do default on your credit card debts, it's going to be a stain on your credit rating for a long time. Your debts won't go away until you reach an agreement with the lender, and will remain on your file for seven years, preventing you from getting favorable credit terms in the future. If you don't pay, you could end up in court and face being sued. It's a serious issue, and one you shouldn't run away from – it's not going to go away magically.
Finally, lenders have a limited time to collect credit card debts. It's called a statute of limitations, and it bars lenders from pursuing you through the courts after a set amount of time, which can vary from state to state. You'll still owe the lender or debt collector money – but they won't be able to sue.

Liceida o Liceales es un orden de mixomicetos de la clase Myxogastrea. Se caracterizan por esporas que se desarrollan internamente y por la ausencia de un verdadero capilicio, aunque a veces está presente un seudocapilicio. La mayoría de las especies viven sobre la corteza de los árboles vivos (son corticícolas), que se seca en repetidas ocasiones durante su desarrollo y puede haber dirigido la evolución hacia la reducción de los cuerpos fructíferos. Las esporas son normalmente de colores claros.

A KHN database shows that $58 million flowed from drugmakers to patient groups running national ads.
Denmark-based drugmaker Novo Nordisk has invested more in lobbying and doubled political donations since 2015.
With the nation's opioid crisis, urine testing has become a booming business and is especially lucrative for doctors who operate their own labs, a Kaiser Health News investigation finds. And dozens of practitioners have earned "the lion's share" of their Medicare income exclusively from urine drug screens.
At a political rally in March, President Donald Trump said drug prices are "outrageous" and blamed campaign contributions. Drugmakers funneled nearly $280,000 to Congress the very next day.
Embattled opioid seller Mallinckrodt is one of many pharmaceutical companies boosting political contributions and lobbying on Capitol Hill.
Led by Pfizer and Amgen, about 10 health care firms contributed to President Donald Trump's inauguration, which earned them entry into private events with the president and vice president.
En 2017, muchos más planes de salud en los mercados de seguros requerirán que los consumidores paguen una sustancial parte del costo de los medicamentos más caros, dicen, para disuadir a pacientes muy enfermos de elegir sus planes.
A Kaiser Health News analysis finds that the portion of federal marketplace plans requiring people to pay a third or more of the cost of specialty drugs have jumped from 37 to 63 percent since 2014.

Campus elects new senators
For the first time in several years, Student Senate has filled all its residence hall seats in its first open election.
The voting took place Monday and Tuesday and saw more than 10 times the number of voters than last year's voting. After all the votes were counted, voters had elected 12 new members to Senate.
"We had about 474 total votes cast," said Student Body President Kyle Malinowski. "We are very excited about the number of votes we had this year."
Malinowski said of the 18 seats Senate has for elected members, 15 will be filled at Monday's first meeting.
"The only seats we still have open are one off-campus seat, one St. James seat and one seat for the Student Apartment Complex," he said.
Those seats no longer need to be filled by a student who resides there, and anyone wishing to fill one of those seats can download a petition from Senate's Web site, bradley.edu/campusorg/senate. Each petition needs to have 40 signatures from students living in the residence the student wishes to represent.
Although it is preferred that a student filling a vacant Senate seat lives in that residence, Malinowski said it is not required.
Malinowski also said Senate was pleased with how the elections turned out, and said it has high hopes for the coming year.
"It is very exciting that we filled as many seats as we did," he said. "All of the races were won by a large number of votes – even the write-in [candidates] won by a significant number."
"With the response we got at this election, we really don't think that filling those last three seats will be any problem at all," he said.

Namaste Foods Opens Allergen Free Facility
From our friends at Namaste Foods:
Contact: Daphne Taylor
NAMASTE FOODS OPENS ALLERGEN FREE FACILTY!
Namaste Foods, LLC, is excited to announce the opening of its new allergen-free manufacturing facility in its hometown of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. For the past eight years Namaste has enlisted co-packers to manufacture its exceptional line of gluten and allergen free baking mixes and pasta meals. While there are some benefits to this model, there are also many pitfalls.
"We pride ourselves on offering not only the best tasting gluten free products at the best price, but also and perhaps more importantly, the safest products on the market" states Daphne Taylor, Owner and Founder of Namaste Foods. " When you're working with a co-packer there are just too many variables that are outside your control. After 11 years in business, we decided it was time to take the next step and bring the manufacturing under our roof and we couldn¹t be more thrilled with the result!"
Operating under the name of Taylor Gleason Enterprises, LLC, the new facility is virtually a one-of-a-kind allergen free facility. In addition to being free of the top eight allergens (dairy, egg, wheat/gluten, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish) the facility is also free of corn and potato. It is estimated that 30 percent or more of the people with food allergies have multiple allergies. Being free of so many allergens demonstrates Namaste¹s commitment to people with food allergies above and beyond other manufacturers.
Taylor Gleason Enterprises will entertain producing gluten and allergen free products for other manufacturers who are equally as serious about offering quality products in the safest environment possible. For more information, contact Michele Smith at 866-258-9493, ext. 310.
If you'd like more information about the new facility, or to schedule an interview with Daphne Taylor, please contact Namaste Foods at 866-258-9493 or e-mail [email protected]

AC/DC's Brian Johnson forced to quit touring on doctor's orders

Review: AC/DC on fire with an explosive celebration of meaty, blues-based rock
AC/DC's late career rollercoaster continues with flat-capped lead singer Brian Johnson being forced to quit the band on doctor's orders.

AC/DC's label, Alberts, issued a statement saying 10 dates on the band's US leg of the huge Rock or Bust world tour would have to be rescheduled - presumably while a replacement singer is confirmed and learns a huge back catalogue of vocally-demanding songs.
The statement said: "AC/DC are forced to reschedule the 10 upcoming dates on the U.S. leg of their Rock or Bust World Tour. AC/DC's lead singer, Brian Johnson, has been advised by doctors to stop touring immediately or risk total hearing loss.
"Tomorrow's show in Atlanta through Madison Square Garden in New York, NY in early April will be made up later in the year, likely with a guest vocalist."
The shock announcement comes six months after long-time drummer Phil Rudd was arrested on drugs and "threatening to kill" charges and sentenced to home detention in New Zealand. Two years ago founding guitarist Malcolm Young left the band suffering dementia.
Despite the upheavals, the band's 17th studio album Rock or Bust topped the charts in 12 countries, including Australia, and led to the band again being booked to headline big international music festivals.
Johnson isn't a founding member of AC/DC, but he's still an essential one. In 1980 he was picked to replace cult AC/DC frontman Bon Scott who had died from acute alcohol poisoning. Johnson was immediately enormously successful, performing lead vocals on Back in Black, which is still the band's most popular album and one of top-selling albums by any artist.
Despite this Johnson remained forever second choice in the minds of diehard Scott fans.
While many will draw the obvious conclusion that Johnson's hearing loss is a result of playing with the hard-rocking band, the singer said otherwise on The Howard Stern Show last year: "I've got hearing loss in my left ear," he told Stern. "[But] I didn't get it from music. I got it from sitting in a race car for too long without ear plugs.
"I heard my eardrum burst because I forgot to put my plugs in under my helmet. That's how it happened.
"Music had nothing to do with it ... I was dizzy, my middle ear had gone, and I took my helmet off and there was blood coming out and I'd burst my eardrum."
Without three long-time members of the five-piece touring act, the question "What now for AC/DC?" hangs heavily on the minds of devoted fans. On AC/DC's official Facebook page the fans were split over the likelihood of continuing without Johnson.
Fan David Scala summed up the feelings of many of his peers by posting: "No Brian, no AC/DC. Don't do it boys, don't become a slave to the record companies to cash in...you play when your band is ready. No Mal, no Phil, no Brian damnnnnnn."

Google Keep is a Google App that allows you to create color-coded notes, drag and move them around, use checkboxes to check off items on a list, etc. You can also share specific "notes" with other friends who use Google Keep. I.e. Share a note of therapy ideas with another therapist, share dinner menu for the week with your spouse, share a Christmas wish list note with your child, etc. Options are endless.
You can "archive" notes; this will temporary delete the note for your list, but can be "recovered" in the future. For example, you want to make a list of tasks needed to do for a holiday task, a list of items to bring for your annual vacation, or even ideas you have related to a project that you do only twice a year. Once the sticky is archived, you can recover it at any time, and then archive again!
You can use LABELS to organize your notes and categorize them for easy viewing. I have some for home, work, church, etc.
You can share these notes with whoever you want! I have grocery and home improvement lists shared with my husband, shopping lists shared with my mom and sister, and lists of social therapy ideas shared with our school social worker. There are so many uses.
Google Keep lets you capture websites and save into a note! There is a Chrome Extension that allows you to save a URL into a note and it's saved in your Google Keep! Then later, you can access that website anytime. For example, you can "pin" a great recipe into your notes, add educational sources into a note to use for a works cited page, or even save some vacation spots to share with your girlfriends.
There are lots of uses for this app educationally. One of the best is its use in writing tasks. You can export information from your notes (including pinned websites) and import it into a Google Doc! This is an easy way to help students create a paper or essay step by step.
This is an easily accessible app to use on your iPhones too!
This is a great tool, so I would suggest that you go right now and get it! You'll thank me later….
How do YOU use Google Keep?!

Grinding and grooving not only extends the life of roadways and runways, but also reduces noise and textures the surface to improve skid resistance and safety. It eliminates uneven joint faults and restores pavement to original ride quality. Husqvarna has a blade for every step of the pavement preservation process—from deep sawing, slot cutting and joint widening to grooving and grinding blades. Custom blade specifications can be made to meet specific job requirements in addition to standard sizes.

Local Rhythms – Fine dining in Claremont, NH
June 22, 2009 June 22, 2009 Michael WitthausLeave a comment
Let's talk about food.
I remember my first night in Claremont almost 30 years ago.
After wrapping up a six-hour shift on the radio, I was looking for something to do. The Shades (a band from my then-hometown Worcester) were playing a club gig.
Having no clue about regional geography, I planned on going – until learning the show was 45 minutes away.
Since then, I've grown accustomed to a long journey as the first course of many meals.
Lately, however, things are changing.
Claremont could become a dining destination, not a departure station.
Let's start with the buzz around the new Common Man Restaurant.
I sat on the brick patio overlooking the Sugar River the other night, enjoying a pint of their signature ale, watching a steady stream of people pass by.
All were incredulous at the expanse of waterfalls and freshly rehabilitated mill buildings, which include condos, offices and a 35-room hotel.
It felt like I was sitting at a magnet for the rest of New England – if not the world.
"Are we really in Claremont?" was the constant refrain of the seemingly 'Oz-struck' patrons.
Inside, the dining room was packed, and the bar was humming. The food's great (I had the duck), the desserts sublime.
If Common Man was the only story, it would still be a good one – but there's more.
Carmella's, specializing in fresh pasta, homemade meatballs and fettuccini alfredo, is opening (a sign in the window says "July-ish") in the Pleasant Street location vacated by Sophie & Zeke's when they moved to their posh new digs in Opera House Square.
Factor in the Pleasant Street Restaurant (don't miss the popovers), and downtown's positively jumping.
Across town, Bistro Nouveau jump-started the Claremont fine dining movement a few years ago, before moving to Eastman.
Soon, their empty Washington Street location will emerge as Kouzoku, a Japanese steak house with hibachi tables and performing chefs.
Kouzoku, which also features traditional tatami rooms and a sushi bar, comes from the ownership of Imperial Garden, a place that's given the live music scene a big boost.
They hope to open by the end of July.
That's three new fine dining locations in a month's time. Call it what you want – a renaissance, a surprise or simply long overdue – my backyard has never looked so good.
Yes, I'm really in Claremont – waiting for you.
What's the rest of the week look like?
Thursday: Norris Cotton Silent Auction, Eastman Events Center – Reservations are required for this event, which includes desserts from Bistro Nouveau and music from Second Wind, the duo of Terry Ray Gould and Suzi Hastings – along with a few guests. All proceeds benefit NCCC, which provides the latest medical technology and assistance to those stricken with the disease.
Friday: Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars, Hanover Green – A free show by a West African group that met in Guinea refugee camp. The music they made there became the subject of a much-heralded documentary. Their sound blends autobiographical lyrics celebrating freedom with an infectious reggae beat. It will be cool to see them outdoors on the big lawn – not many shows happen there (unless Dartmouth graduation counts).
Saturday: Adam McMahon Trio, Silver Fern – An excellent addition to Claremont's downtown, serving drinks, pub food and providing fans of English football (uh, soccer) a place to indulge their pastime. There's also live music on the weekends, including this blues player, a former member of the Larry Dougher Band, another frequent Silver Fern performer.
Sunday: Strawberry Festival, Cedar Circle Farm – Localvore denizens converge around this East Thetford farm, with music provided by the Strawberry Farm Band, a Bath, NH band specializing in progressive bluegrass. The event includes horse-drawn wagon rides, strawberry picking, Gabriel Q puppetry, a VINS raptor demo, strawberry shortcake and wood-fired pizzas.
Monday: Vermont Symphony Orchestra & Fireworks, Quechee Polo Grounds – It's Lake Champlain's Quadricentennial honoring Vermont's own Uncle Sam – Samuel de Champlain, who discovered the lake named after him in 1609. The VSO programs includes Gershwin's "An American in Paris," show tunes from South Pacific and Les Misérables, a patriotic John Phillip Sousa section and the 1812 Overture, complete with a show in the sky.
Tuesday: Susan Tedeschi, Paramount Theatre – The blues diva, who just announced a November LOH appearance, comes to Rutland. She's got brass – I love her comment about meeting the Rolling Stones a few years ago. "I'm not intimidated by a bunch of British rockers," she said. "I'd be intimidated by Howlin' Wolf if I met him, but I'm not intimidated by those guys." Ha!
Wednesday: Atlantic Crossing, Strafford Unitarian Church – The first in a series of shows, which run through August 19, features a Vermont-based band specializing in Celtic rhythms. Future performers include Damn Yankee String Band (7/8), Skellig (7/15) and the trio of Jeremiah McLane, Sarah Blair and David Surette (8/5).
