Deep Purple are an English rock band formed in Hertford in 1968. The band is considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock, although their musical approach changed over the years. Originally formed as a progressive rock band, the band shifted to a heavier sound in 1970. Deep Purple, together with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, have been referred to as the "unholy trinity of British hard rock and heavy metal in the early to mid-seventies".[6] They were listed in the 1975 Guinness Book of World Records as "the globe's loudest band" for a 1972 concert at London's Rainbow Theatre, and have sold over 100 million albums worldwide.
Deep Purple have had several line-up changes and an eight-year hiatus (1976–1984). The 1968–1976 line-ups are commonly labelled Mark I, II, III and IV. Their second and most commercially successful line-up consisted of Ian Gillan (vocals), Jon Lord (keyboards, backing vocals), Roger Glover (bass), Ian Paice (drums), and Ritchie Blackmore (guitar). This line-up was active from 1969 to 1973, and was revived from 1984 to 1989, and again from 1992 to 1993. The band achieved more modest success in the intervening periods between 1968 and 1969 with the line-up including Rod Evans (lead vocals) and Nick Simper (bass, backing vocals), between 1974 and 1976 (Tommy Bolin replacing Blackmore in 1975) with the line-up including David Coverdale (lead vocals) and Glenn Hughes (bass, vocals), and between 1989 and 1992 with the line-up including Joe Lynn Turner (vocals). The band's line-up (currently including Ian Gillan, and guitarist Steve Morse from 1994) has been much more stable in recent years, although keyboardist Jon Lord's retirement from the band in 2002 (being succeeded by Don Airey) left Ian Paice as the only original Deep Purple member still in the band.
Deep Purple were ranked number 22 on VH1's Greatest Artists of Hard Rock programmer and a poll on British radio station Planet Rock ranked them 5th among the "most influential bands ever". The band received the Legend Award at the 2008 World Music Awards. Deep Purple (specifically Blackmore, Lord, Paice, Gillan, Glover, Evans, Coverdale and Hughes) were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016.
Located at a crossroad, this beautiful natural well with its astonishing aquamarine colour is said to be bottomless, with salt water in its depths attesting to its connection to the sea.
Legend says that this is the place where Rama, the Hero of the Indian Hindu epic Ramayana, stopped to rest and finding himself thirsty plunged his arrow into the ground whereupon water came spurting out. This well has ever since provided a never-ending supply of fresh water.

A typical action in the Mediterranean cities of Italy and Portugal is the hanging of laundry in public space, making the buildings they hang from a public exhibition space for intimate objects. Investigating this culture, Roman street artist Alice Pasquini proposes an exhibition in Ponte de Sor that brings together installations and paintings to explore the psychology of this overlap between private and public. "Deep Dry Tides," which opens on Saturday, April 18 at 17:00 at Centrum Sete Sóis Sete Luas Ponte de Sor, is a contemporary journey to the roots of Mediterranean traditions.
With the important support of the Municipality of Ponte de Sor, Centrum Sete Sóis Sete Luas presents in Alentejo Italian artist Alice Pasquini, one of the few internationally known and recognized female artists in the street art world. After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and earning a Master of Arts in Art Criticism, Alice has left her mark on the walls of more than 40 cities globally, and has also exhibited work in galleries and museums in Paris, London, and Barcelona, among others. A recurring theme of her work is femininity, which as represented by Alice contrasts with the stereotypical image of women as sexual objects. The women of Alice Pasquini are strong, curious and independent.
With the exhibition "Deep Dry Tides," which opens on Saturday, April 18 at 17:00 at Centrum Sete Sóis Sete Luas, Alice Pasquini explores one of the defining acts of Mediterranean culture which, being extremely common and everyday, sometimes goes unnoticed: a private display in public space via the hanging of laundry out the window. Ponte de Sor will not miss the opportunity to have Alice create a dialogue with the environment and local people, as she will also complete a piece of urban art in Alentejo during her stay.
In the days prior to the exhibition, Alice Pasquini will lead a workshop in creativity at the municipal school.

Deep Water Bay is a bay on the southern shore of Hong Kong Island in Hong Kong. The bay is surrounded by Shouson Hill, Brick Hill, Violet Hill and Middle Island.
Beneath the hill of Violet Hill is a beach, Deep Water Bay Beach. The bay is reachable by Island Road, a road connecting Repulse Bay and Wong Chuk Hang.
From deep water bay you can see Ocean Park
Ocean Park Hong Kong, is a marine mammal park, oceanarium, animal theme park and amusement park, situated in Wong Chuk Hang and Nam Long Shan in the Southern District of Hong Kong. It is, together with Hong Kong Disneyland, one of the two large theme parks in Hong Kong. Opened in 1977 by the then Governor of Hong Kong Sir Murray MacLehose, Ocean Park has grown to over 80 attractions and rides after the completion of a HK$5.5 billion Master Redevelopment Plan (MRP) begun in 2005, making it one of the world’s best marine-based theme parks.
Covering an area of 91.5 hectares (226 acres), the park is separated by a large mountain into two areas, The Summit (Headland) and The Waterfront (Lowland). These areas can be reached by a 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) cable car system, or the Ocean Express funicular railway. As the Headland comprises several hills, visitors can also opt to use Hong Kong's second longest outdoor escalator.
The theme park currently has a wide array of attractions and rides, including 4 roller coasters, and also animal exhibits with different themes, such as a giant panda habitat, a jelly fish and Chinese sturgeon aquarium, as well as a world-class aquarium featuring the world's largest aquarium dome which displays more than 5,000 fish. Between 1979 and 1997, Ocean Park was most famous for its signature killer whale, Miss Hoi Wai.

I called this vase "Deep Love" because of the depth and intensity of the colors. I really loved this piece!
Taroko Gorge is an impressive 19-km-long canyon, situated near Taiwan's east coast. The area of the gorge is also identified as Taroko Gorge National Park.
Taroko Gorge began as coral deposits deep under the sea. Under pressure from geological forces, the coral was transformed into limestone and then marble, schists and gneiss. Five million years ago, as Taiwan was lifted from the sea by the collision of the Philippine and Eurasian plates, the gorge began to be formed. In essence, the upward thrust of hard rock, combined with the erosion of the soft layers from water and landslides left towering canyon walls to form the world's deepest marble canyon.
What is your reaction when hearing that? My first impression was associated with drag net fishing, wreaking havoc to the ecosystems below. And Greenpeace is actively protesting their operation with dangerous intercepts of operations at sea. Is that the whole story then?
What if deep seabed mining of nickel and cobalt was the most environmentally benign alternative on Earth? That would flip my thinking entirely. Well, the alternative is strip mining in the rainforests of Indonesia and Congo, causing massive deforestation and devastation in some of the most valuable ecosystems.
How does that compare to Deep Seabed mining? Well, it’s deep, really deep, in the Abyssal Plain (12-18K ft. down). These Plains are not rare; they cover 50% of the Earth’s surface. And it’s unlike “mining” in the traditional sense. The metallic nodules are sitting on the surface, easily collected by robotic rovers. The smooth plains of silt are stirred up by this collection process, but to no obvious detriment to the main biomass that lives there — bacteria. Ongoing studies may find that they are helped by the agitation, giving more access to their nutrients. And the ecological value of microbe-infused silt is the opposite end of the spectrum from rainforest or coral reef.
The groups seeking permission from the International Seabed Authority to commence operations had to perform numerous studies of their effect on bacteria. Let me digress for a moment to mention how absurd this is. Every 48 hours, 50% of all bacteria on Earth are violently killed by phages. The shear tonnage of the slaughter is staggering: 17 billion tons of bacteria are killed by phage every single day. That’s the baseline. Deep Seabed Mining’s effect on a patch of them, positive or negative, is in the statistical noise by any reasoned analysis. Bacteria adapt quickly to any environment; they should not be the focus of any environmental impact analysis IMHO.
And there’s the rub. Opposition is pushing to try to prevent deep seabed mining by any means possible, reasoned or not. The logical error is the assumption that blocking deep seabed mining will stop mining. That will not happen, ever. Mining will shift to the next lowest cost option (deforesting Indonesia). It’s A versus B, not A versus nothing. Mining will occur, somewhere. How tragic for environmentalists to attack the best option and thereby foster the worst environmental outcomes for humanity. And the harm to the environment is compounded because the minerals in question are used to complete the transition away from oil to EVs. If Greenpeace wanted to promote deforestation and profits for Exxon, they would be hard pressed to find a better way. And, stepping back to consider the ocean's health, the biggest threat to the oceans is climate change and the related acidification that came from our fossil fuel era.
Where have we seen this backfiring behavior before? Nuclear energy. It was nuclear vs coal for the past 60 years, not nuclear vs nothing. Baseload energy will be generated, and environmental fear mongering shut down the best option for the environment back then. Lifelong environmentalist Stewart Brand summarized in his book Whole Earth Discipline: "Coal is now understood to be the long-term systemic horror we once thought nuclear was.” Nuclear was so safe that the nuclear fear mongering did more harm than nuclear energy itself! “Fear of radiation is a far more important health threat than radiation itself.” From the WHO analysis of Chernobyl and its long-term effects, stress from the human dialog on nuclear energy has killed more people than nuclear energy.
Same story with GMO foods, as Brand laments: “The environmental movement has done more harm with its opposition to genetic engineering than with any other thing we have been wrong about. We’ve starved people, hindered science, hurt the natural environment, and denied our own practitioners a crucial tool. We make ourselves look a conspicuously irrational, and we teach that irrationality to the public and to decision makers.”
Must history keep repeating itself with a tragic backfiring of environmental intent? Greenpeace’s position is “no deep sea mining, ever” with no consideration given to the default plan B. Classic A vs nothing thinking. The International Seabed Authority is preparing to process its first applications in 2025. I would hope Greenpeace would pause for a moment of rational consideration to not repeat the mega-mistakes of the past which fostered deforestation and climate change on a massive scale.
• Here is the closest I have seen to an impartial consideration of arguments for an against... with even ocean-obsessed James Cameron calling it a “less wrong” alternative to conventional land-based mining.
