EL FANTASMA QUE TORTURÓ A TENNESSEE WILLIAMS
Nació el 26 de marzo de 1911 en Columbus (Mississippi). Pasó parte de su juventud en Saint Louis (Missouri). Trabajó de fogonero, limpiabotas, lavaplatos, mientras, escribía piezas dramáticas que eran representadas en pequeños teatros comunales. El trabajo del más famoso dramaturgo del siglo XX quedó marcado por la presencia de una hermana esquizofrénica y paranoica. El miedo a la locura, fue el fantasma que los acosó, pero no perturbó su genio creador. Quién no recuerda obras como “Un tranvía llamado Deseo”, “Una gata sobre un tejado de zinc caliente” o “La noche de la iguana”. Tennessee Williams murió de manera muy peculiar. Decidió suicidarse a los 71 años tras la muerte de su pareja, Frank Merlo. Para ello ingirió una gran cantidad de alcohol que iría seguida de la toma de barbitúricos para culminar el fatal desenlace. A la mañana siguiente fue hallado muerto, asfixiado por el pequeño tapón del bote de pastillas, que se había quedado atascado en su tráquea al abrirlo con la boca. En su ciudad de nacimiento, se recomienda no pasar por alto Jackson la “mejor ciudad de Mississippi”. Conocida como "La ciudad con alma", Jackson es la capital y la ciudad más grande de Mississippi. Ubicada en el cruce de las carreteras interestatales 55 y I-20, se puede acceder fácilmente en coche, avión, tren, autocar y Megabus desde Memphis y Nueva Orleans. Jackson, que fue elegida por la revista AAA Southern Traveler como la ciudad más atractiva de Mississippi, se destaca por su hermosa arquitectura, desde el magnífico edificio del Capitolio que data de 1903, hasta la modesta casa de Medgar Evers, asesinado por defender los derechos civiles. Los editores de Convention South Magazine también seleccionaron a Jackson entre las 10 mejores "ciudades con mentalidad ministerial" del sur. La vida en esta ciudad está llena de música: góspel, blues, rock, jazz, clásica y todo lo demás; nacida de una tradición impregnada de arte. ¿Quieres ver y experimentar el hogar del blues? Pasa por F. Jones Corner, donde la influencia del blues se derrama de las paredes en el histórico distrito de Farish Street; o Hal y Mal para "Blue Monday", donde puede encontrar la legendaria Dorothy Moore cantando "Misty Blue". En The Jackson Rhythm and Blues Festival, se reúnen más de 30 artistas en cinco escenarios en lo que se conoce como los terrenos rústicos de Mississippi Agriculture & El Museo Forestal, evento que se celebra anualmente, el tercer fin de semana de agosto. Para tener en cuenta.

EL ESCRITOR QUE TEMÍA SER ENTERRADO VIVO
Nikolái Vasílievich Gógol es un escritor ucraniano en lengua rusa nacido en Soróchintsi el 1 de abril de 1809 y fallecido en Moscú el 4 de marzo de 1852. Es considerado como uno de los máximos exponentes de la literatura rusa del siglo XIX a pesar de que, por educación y cultura, podría ser considerado ucraniano. Perteneciente a una familia de la baja nobleza rural, Gógol se trasladó a San Petersburgo en 1828, donde entabló amistad con Aleksandr Pushkin. Entre sus obras literarias sobresalientes se cuentan a “El inspector”, “El casamiento” y “Los jugadores”. Una anécdota conocida de este talentoso artista, es que tenía auténtico pánico a la remota posibilidad de ser enterrado vivo por accidente. Tanto es así que se negaba a acostarse por si lo daban por muerto y rogó a sus allegados que esperasen a que su cuerpo presentase evidentes síntomas de descomposición para cerciorarse de que no despertaría bajo tierra, voluntad que fue respetada.
UCRANIA, el lugar de su nacimiento, es conocida como uno de los países más grandes de Europa, se ubica en el este del continente, compartiendo sus fronteras con Rusia, Bielorrusia, Polonia, Eslovaquia, Hungría, Rumania, Moldavia y el Mar Negro y el de Azov al sur. Tiene destinos populares como Kiev u Odesa y lugares con balnearios a pleno sol.

DJ AND PRODUCER
AGENT: ALBERTO FERRARI.
EXCLUSIVE FOR ITALY
A pioneer by definition is the first one to open roads into virtually undiscovered territory.The career of DJ and producer Anderson Noise is one as pioneer of the electronic music scence in Brazil. Native of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Noise started DJ ing in a slow but steady manner as is the custom in his region of Brazil. Yet he never forget to take the necessary steps to insure total success. In 1989, during the explosion of Acid House on the club scene, Noise started playing around the local circuit in his hometown. With the professional passion for DJ ing, hes noted for saying that, the function of a DJ is to emote the audience or bring them to an emotional frenzy. Subsequently Noise started organizing and producing large scale events in which he could also DJ for as early as 1992.
With a fervor, he opened space for the expansion of the electronic music scence in the capital city of Minas Gerais, which as the time was in an embryonic state locally speaking.
There were more than 40 party events thrown in places like mental institutions, car dealership lots, shopping centers, historic buildings, etc, etc. The Noise Family turned into an institution, as the entire family was involved in organizing and working the events. Mamma Noise, Anderson´s mother worked as hostess in the events,and Alvinho Little Noise joined in the fun burning up the dance floor spinning records along with Anderson. The first compilation disk come out in 96, "Paralisia Cerebral", when the dream of producing his own records turned into a reality in the talented hands of Anderson Noise.
In 1997 he was invited to include "Shantytown" on "Electronic Music Brazil", the first CD of 100% Brazilian DJ's& Procucers released by Sony-Mercado Mundo Mix.Without fear of expanding his horizons, Noise promoted the first trio electrico playing exclusively electronic music in 1999 during Carnabelô, the off season Mineiro Carnival that turned into a must see perfomance. Without knowing it, he would be acquiring the experience which would later prepare him for a bigger challenge playing on Daniela Mercury´s trio electrico during the Salvador Carnival of 2002, giving him huge national exposure in the media. On the shelves of the great DJ´s are always something besides records, that being trophy's and awards.In 97', Noise won the Best Underground DJ award for the magazine ,"DJ Sound". In the two times that "DJ Sound" ran the competition Anderson won each time.
Then he won the trophy for the best producer and the best DJ of techno music which was called the "Night Illustrated" award created by Erika Palomino from the newspaper ´´A Folha De São Paulo``. The faíscas trophy, an award Noise Won 3 years in a row was offered by the Minas Newspaper, "O Estado de Minas" for those artists that shook up the nightlife in Belo Horizonte and in 2003 he was runner up in the Cool Magazine Awards, Brazils most elegant electronic music magazine.The trophy was given to him in the subsequent year of 2004, as best DJ.
Anderson has always participated in the major national/Brazilian Eletronic Music Events.His presence was felt by all in every edition of the Skol Beats Festival since it's inception,serendipitously closing the 2003 Skol Beats Festival with great fanfare.Noise also participated in the "Electronic Tent" of Rock in Rio in 2000.
It was in this year that his second compilation CD was released called "October", with some tracks produced by his own record label ´´Noise Music. The label started up in 1999 with the intention of bringing music to the world composed and produced by Brazilians. In his own words;´´ We Brazilians always buy music by gringo artists and the gringos in turn never have any of our music``. There has already been great electronic music produced in Brazil of excellent quality waiting to be shown to the world.
In 2001 Anderson became a DJ in residence at "Headstart Night" in the "Turmills Club" of London, integrating a select group of Brazilian DJs that were playing in the UK and Europe at the time. At the same time Noise played abroad he would share the stage with great interational DJs when they would tour Brazil. The must notable of them who was impressed by the mineiro DJ was Carl Cox, considered the greatest DJ on the planet. Carl Cox was impressed by Noise's force of playing the first time Cox toured Brazil. "Anderson is very talented. He played with me sometime before, sometimes after. He also has his own label, Noise Music. They´re good records, too good to ignore. In the 2001 issue of DJ Magazine, "2001 Top 100", Cox classified Anderson as the future "DJ Hero'.
His third CD compilation came out in 2002, greatly pleasing his Brazilian fan base, "Noise Music Compilation 100% Mix, Anderson Noise". It was released by a major record company,bringing all of the best Noise Music tracks into the form of an awesome set list compilation. It was well received in Brazil as well as in Europe , calling the attention of Trevor Rockcliffe, the owner of Mentor Records, a very well respected English label.After hearing the material, Rockcliffe wanted to release "Você Mesmo" on his Mentor Label. In 2002 Anderson started up his radio show, "Radio Noise", as one of his various weekly programs in his site.
In 2003 Anderson was invited by "DJ Magazine", the worlds most respected publication dedicated to electronic music, to produce his fourth CD, "DJ World Series, Anderson Noise". In a series of 5 records that the magazine released, where each DJ, representing a different continent would make a record representing his continent of origin, Anderson was chosen to represent Latin America.
From then on Noise's international career kept growing steadily.He has participated in the biggest international festivals: Homelands, Dance Valley, Creamfields, Sonar, Exit, Rock in Rio Lisboa, SAMC, Knebworth Ministry of Sound, etc. His presentations around the world have given him the opportunity to play in various countries such as;,Argentina, Chile, Colombia, England, France, Germany, Holland, Ireland, Japan, Portugal, Serbia and Montenegro, Spain, Switzerland, Uruguay and Venezuela. Noises CD´s, records,and DVD's have been released by international labels such as Audio, Eukatech, Mentor, Missile, Molecular and Primate and are being played throughout the world.
In 2005 Noise created TV Noise together with "Toro Productions", including weekly programs from the DJ's perspective showing clubs,parties,and festivals in Brasil and all over the world. After having played in Tokyo,Anderson entered into a partnership with "Womb",considered the second best club in the world by MIXMAG for presenting annual tours in Brazil and Japan.
Noises fifth CD is an innovative one for the Brazilian public called, "Anderson Noise Live @ Skol Beats 04". It is the first electronic music CD recorded live by a Brazilian DJ during his gig at the Skol Beats Festival which is the biggest electronic music festival of it´s kind in Latin America. In Anderson´s never tiring mode, he released shortly afterwards the first DVD from a Brazilian DJ, "Brazilian Love Affair",that accompanies Anderson´s club/gig- circuit in many different states/regions of Brazil in which he is resident DJ. As far as Noise is concerned, there exists no limits that can't be surpassed.
This is surely a great virtue for those who are of a creative and pioneering nature.

We made a short notice booking to Copenhagen, Jayne had the first week in September booked off and we wanted to try and do a city break. Five nights hardly seemed enough but the short flight was ok. We flew over home heading east on a beautiful morning. I love flying over an area that I know and being able to see it from above. We had been warned that Copenhagen was expensive-it was! I hadn’t done any research before we set off but on the flight over, I read that taxis were expensive, so it was best to use the Metro from the airport, it isn’t far in to the city and the Metro was fairly easy to use. However! We should have caught the train, I read this whist we were sat on the Metro it has to be said! The nearest Metro stop, which I was frantically trying to work out, using my phone, travelling in and out of tunnels, turned out to be a 1.5 mile walk from our hotel, the rail station was .5. Never mind we were there to walk-subject to my lately diagnosed arthritic ankle, we just didn’t want to be towing suitcases over cobbled pavements at the same time.
We were staying in the Tivoli Hotel which was described as central, it is near Central Station but you wouldn’t describe it as central to the city. Our room wasn’t ready but we could upgrade for a modest amount plus we realised it would be a good idea to include breakfast in the upgrade deal. A good move as it turned out. Our room overlooked the train lines-all twelve of them!! We could already hear train brakes squealing along with the thump thump of steel wheels rolling over points and joints. It’s true to say that Central Station is a 24/7 operation. The overnight noise didn’t bother Jayne but I could hear it all night.
We dumped our stuff and I loaded up with the backpack and camera and we were straight out there. Copenhagen is a relatively small city but there is a lot to see. We were soon finding out that it has an extensive network of canals and bridges and these are a major feature of life in the city. Pan flat, the cyclist rules, There appeared to be twice as many bikes as residents, with countless thousands propped up everywhere you went. Where ever you looked there was silent conveyor of sit up and beg cycles being ridden in all directions. You soon got used to looking over your shoulder before making a move. The vast majority of bikes are left unlocked and almost no one wears a helmet ( I’m a no helmet man, much to the annoyance of the helmet zealots). Copenhagen is reputedly the happiest place in the world and it certainly came across as friendly and relaxed. It is, though, one of the most expensive cities in the world and two burgers and two small glasses of wine at Nyhavn cost us £50. Comically, there were four people, local to us, shouting out Jayne’s name, they had seen us going past and we had a laugh about the prices, They were sat drinking beer at £8.50 a pint. Despite the expense, the place was packed with people parting with their money. Wages are very high locally, as are the taxes. The high wages and high costs must feed each other in an upward spiral I would have thought.
Unfortunately the cost of entering buildings to go up towers etc. for a higher view of the city was also very expensive (to us). The tower at Christiansborg Palace is free but restricted by the lift system and you don’t get to the top, it does also open later than the others so you have a chance of seeing sunset over the city. Unfortunately the lifts were out of order on one of our best weather days. We did get to go up the day after but it was dull and I wasn’t overly impressed. The spiral tower across in Christiana, The Church of Our Saviour, was far more impressive. We climbed the tower here just after it opened on a stunning morning and the views are fantastic. There will be incredible bottlenecks when it’s busy though on the corkscrew stairs that get progressively narrower towards the top. Some people hog it to take endless selfies at the top and it is extremely tight up there, you can’t move up until they come down.
As usual, we tried to get to some out of the way places, with only five days and mixed weather though we had enough mainstream destinations to see. We had a day of heavy rain so we went back to the rail station which was a good indoor (and free!) destination, and made umbrellas and the rain the focal point of that days photos. The entire Danish navy seemed to be at anchor, we just missed an open day on one ship. Some I could photograph, others were guarded and had restrictions, I got the evil eye from a couple of guards as the spotted the big Canon in my hand. I can’t imagine that they could police the Japanese and stop them from getting their photos and selfies though. I always act very openly with the camera and if people look at me suspiciously I smile and give them the thumbs up. In a rail station I usually ask the police. In Central Station the police were in their station and I never saw one move out, it is covered by extensive CCTV but there were some very unpleasant people, drinking and watching for people being careless with their belongings. We were lucky to be in the station on Sunday as a tourist steam train arrived, it sat at the platform belching smoke and steam for fifteen minutes, it was also coming back in an hour so we had an expensive coffee and waited to see it again. There was big military event outside the Christiansborg Palace on Monday, with a parade through the city that came past just as we were in a good spot to view it. The area was full of soldiers wearing their medals. We haven’t discovered the reason, although someone suggested a passing out parade for new recruits. Maybe the ships were in port for this as well.
Tivoli Gardens is another big draw and we went in, again it was fairly expensive, it had been a stunning day and the biggest problem was contrast, with deep shadows and a bright blue sky. We stayed until dark, it opens late and is very colourful. We went on the world’s highest carousel and got flung around 260 odd feet in the air. Luckily, we also found a bar that served wine at ‘only’ £5.60 a glass so we sat and watched people have fun screaming and shrieking above us.
There are many buildings with copper domes, entire copper roofs, even modern buildings are often clad in either brass or copper to blend in with the ancient buildings around them. Like every city we have visited, tower cranes are in abundance. There is a lot of development going on and unfortunately a lot of it is around buildings that you would want to photograph. We walked 12 to 14 mile every day and took in most of the sights. We didn’t really do any interiors, only towers and the railway station. At the time of writing I haven’t looked at what I’ve got, I have around 3000 shots, some on the G1X which I used when it was raining heavily as it easy to put in a pocket. I have a lot less time for editing these days so it will be a long process I think. To save time I am going to create a list of generic tags that I can copy and paste to each upload – the time saving is enormous – so apologies to anyone who gets a photo of a canal when they wanted a steam train or vice versa.

KNUT HAMSUN EL DUEÑO DE LAS PALABRAS INSPIRADAS EN LA NATURALEZA Y EN EL PAISAJE.
Nació en Noruega el 4 de agosto de 1859, es considerado como uno de los grandes autores escandinavos del siglo XX, siendo galardonado en 1920 con el Premio Nobel de Literatura. Hamsun estudió primero en Oslo y luego en Estados Unidos donde vivió durante seis años. Una de sus primeras obras, La vida espiritual de la América moderna, relata precisamente sus experiencias en ese país. HAMBRE (1890) fue la novela con la que consiguió su primer gran éxito, siendo considerada una de las más influyentes obras de finales del XIX, anticipando lo que sería las grandes novelas de años posteriores. Hamsun publicó muchas de sus obras inspirándose en la naturaleza y paisajes de su Noruega natal, siendo esta relación con la tierra la que acabaría por hacerle merecedor del Nobel. Años después de haber alcanzado ya la consagración literaria, Hamsun decidió apoyar al Partido Nazi de manera contundente durante la invasión de Noruega. Este apoyo le costó a Hamsun el reconocimiento popular y se determinó que sufría de problemas mentales. Sin embargo, la influencia y reconocimiento de Hamsun sobre autores como Thomas Mann, Gorki, Miller o Auster es irrefutable, pese al descrédito político de sus últimos años. De entre su obra cabría destacar títulos como Hambre (1890), La bendición de la tierra (1917) o Por las sendas donde la hierba crece (1949), obra en la que explicó y justificó sus errores durante la II Guerra Mundial. Fue protagonista de una anécdota graciosa. Cuando viajó a París por primera vez en 1894, su familia estaba preocupada porque el escritor noruego no dominaba el francés, algo que rápidamente sacaron a colación a su llegada: ¿Tuviste algún problema con tu francés? Yo no, pero los franceses sí…contestó Hamsun.
En Noruega se puede disfrutar de la ciudad de Oslo una capital en medio de la naturaleza, es por eso considerada la Capital Verde Europea. En esta ciudad pasan un montón de cosas, como por ejemplo el despegue gastronómico que ha visto cómo uno de sus restaurantes alcanzaba las tres estrellas Michelin. Oslo acoge también a algunos de los baristas y productores de café más premiados del planeta. Es esta una capital entre un millón, con planes para los más pequeños, pero también con una creciente escena musical, que respeta la naturaleza, la arquitectura contemporánea, el arte, los carriles para bici y, por supuesto, a los peatones. ¡Puedes caminar incluso sobre el techo del Palacio de la Ópera!

There are many buildings with copper domes, entire copper roofs, even modern buildings are often clad in either brass or copper to blend in with the ancient buildings around them. Like every city we have visited, tower cranes are in abundance. There is a lot of development going on and unfortunately a lot of it is around buildings that you would want to photograph. We walked 12 to 14 mile every day and took in most of the sights. We didn’t really do any interiors, only towers and the railway station. At the time of writing I haven’t looked at what I’ve got, I have around 3000 shots, some on the G1X which I used when it was raining heavily as it easy to put in a pocket. I have a lot less time for editing these days so it will be a long process I think. To save time I am going to create a list of generic tags that I can copy and paste to each upload – the time saving is enormous – so apologies to anyone who gets a photo of a canal when they wanted a steam train or vice versa.
