Giovedì 10 novembre 2022 gli Evanescence si esibiscono dal vivo al Mediolanum Forum di Assago a Milano insieme ai Within Temptation e i Veridia.
Le band, capitanate da due delle donne più iconiche e creative del rock contemporaneo - Amy Lee e Sharon den Adel, uniscono le forze per Worlds Collide Tour che tocca l’Italia per un’unica data, prodotta e organizzata da Vivo Concerti.
Den Adel commenta così la tournée: «Questo sarà un tour che non vorrai davvero perdere. È stato davvero stupendo incontrare Amy e la band. Abbiamo davvero tanto in comune, ma più di qualsiasi cosa, condividiamo la stessa passione per ciò che amiamo di più al mondo. Non vedo davvero l’ora di fare questo insieme e renderlo memorabile per tutti!»
Anche Amy Lee commenta: «Siamo super contenti di unire le nostre forze con Within Temptation, per quello che sarà un tour epico. Ci sono state persone che ci hanno chiesto di collaborare insieme, da molto tempo, e promettiamo che l’attesa ne varrà la pena! Non vedo l’ora di sentire la meravigliosa voce di Sharon tutte le sere!»
Gli statunitensi pluripremiati ai Grammy Awards Evanescence nascono nella metà degli anni ’90 e lasciano un segno in tutto il mondo: per la prima volta l’attenzione pubblica è sulle donne del rock. La band debutta nel 2003 con “Fallen”, l’album che ne consacra il successo e che rimane per 43 settimane nella classifica Billboard Top 10, vendendo più di 17 milioni di copie nel mondo. Il disco, inoltre, arriva secondo nelle classifiche di Germania, Francia, Svizzera e terzo nelle classifiche italiane e belga. La miscela di sonorità gothic e hard rock diventa uno dei casi più degni di nota nella stagione musicale dell’epoca, anche grazie alla hit globale “Bring me to life” che raggiunge la #5 posizione in classifica nella Billboard Hot 100 e il #1 posto nella classifica dei singoli U.K.
Un altro grande successo viene registrato dal gruppo con il singolo raggiunto “My Immortal”, che raggiunge la #7 posizione nelle classifiche americane ed inglesi. Dall’album sono stati estratti altri due celebri singoli, “Going Under” e “Everybody’s Fool”.
Dopo aver collezionato molteplici tour in tutto il mondo, gli Evanescence pubblicano il primo album live “Anywhere But Home” che vende più di un milione di copie in tutto il mondo. Il gruppo pubblica poi l’album “The Open Door”, con più di cinque milioni di copie vendute, anticipato dal celebre brano “Call Me When You’re Sober”, e conquista ancora una volta le vette delle classifiche in Germania, Svizzera, Olanda, Regno Unito e Italia.

The Avison Ensemble presented a concert of Corelli's Opus 5 sonatas for Violin and Basso Continuo as part of its Corelli season. Published in 1700 the Sonatas are one of the most influential publications in the history of music. Re-printed repeatedly, plagiarised, copied and mis-appropriated by other composers, they set a benchmark by which all other violinist/composers of the 18th Century were measured. The concert was introduced and performed by Pavlo Beznosiuk (on baroque violin) who will explained the challenges of the choice of continuo instruments (cello, harpsichord or archlute), articulation in the fugal movements and Corelli's style of ornamentation. The concert also included J. S. Bach's 6th Suite for violoncello. This concert was also performed at The Guildhall, Berwick-upon-Tweed.
The performers were Pavlo Beznosiuk (baroque Violin), Paula Chateauneuf (archlute), Roger Hamilton (harpsichord) and Richard Tunnicliffe (violoncello).
The Avison Ensemble is the outstanding period instrument orchestra based in Newcastle upon Tyne, which plays and popularises the music of Charles Avison (1709-1770) and other English classical composers of the Baroque period, such as Garth, Arne and Herschel. The Ensemble also performs Purcell, Handel, Vivaldi, Corelli, Geminiani, Pergolesi, Teleman, Rameau, Bach, Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven.

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale that was published by La Pensée. The card, which has a divided back, was printed by Baudinière of Paris.
Cambrai
Cambrai is a commune in the Nord department in the Hauts-de-France region of France on the Scheldt River.
Cambrai was the Duke of Wellington's headquarters for the British Army of Occupation, from 1815 to 1818.
Occupied and partly destroyed by the German army during the Great War, Cambrai saw unfold in its vicinity the Battle of Cambrai (20th. November 1917 – 3rd. December 1917) where tanks were massively and successfully used for the first time.
A second Battle of Cambrai took place between the 8th. and 10th. October 1918 as part of the Hundred Days Offensive.
The Reconstruction of Cambrai After the Great War
When the Germans retreated from Cambrai in October 1918, all they left their Canadian successors was a ghost town with a burned-out centre.
The architect Pierre Leprince-Ringuet was given the job of rebuilding the town. He gave Cambrai new squares and streets, and concentrated the administrative buildings and shops into specific areas.
He also designed a brand new town hall. Today the architecture in Cambrai’s centre is a mixture of traditional regional styles and more modern Art Deco buildings.
A Poem About the First Major Tank Attack
'A Vickers Light Gun on my shoulder,
Two machine-gun belts on my back.
Was ever man could be bolder,
A pawn in the first tank attack!
Other details that I carried,
Field-dressing, gas mask, and a pack,
By every impediment harried,
Iron rations, steel helmet alack!
There lumbering over Bosche lines,
Steel monsters use enfilade fire,
Dazed Germans surrend’ring betimes
Cry Kam’rad, as others expire!
Bombers now blast out each dug-out,
As tanks attack the next system.
Capture each strong-point and redoubt,
Prisoners galore! We arrest ‘em!
What of these steel cruising monsters,
Some temporarily halted.
Others still mobile giant ogres.
To Germans, surprised, so assaulted!
How are the Infantry fairing,
Following in the wake of the tanks?
Here we shall need all our daring,
The enemy’s thinning our ranks!
Their third trench system resisting,
The enemy holds our attack.
Fierce fire from machine-gunners raking,
Many tanks made immobile, alack!
Our loved Colonel shot in the leg,
Falls in a near shallow crater.
Too late now, more cover to beg.
Shot through the head seconds later.
At this stage the missiles increase,
Zip! Round my tense body spraying.
I pray for a safe quick release,
Rejecting the idea of dying!
A thump on my right arm, terrific!
Down drops the Light Vickers Gun.
A deep crater shields me, it’s magic!
Comes one of my mates on the run.
Quickly retrieving the weapon,
He hails me with ‘You lucky sod!’
Grabbing the gun’s ammunition,
Vanished, not bothering to nod!
Lying deep down in my crater,
I poured iodine on my wound.
Waiting for our lads to capture,
Finish the machine-gunning hound.
Saddened to lose Colonel Benson,
Comparing our separate state.
The depth of the crater, the reason
For each, and our ultimate fate!
Protecting the wound with a bandage
Secured around the wrist and the thumb.
Consid’ring the size of the damage,
That bullet, no doubt, a dum-dum!
No further resistance from ‘Gerry’,
Quick or you’ll run into a barrage.
From tanks and battlefield hurry.
Now home to ‘Blighty’ you’ll manage'.
The Citadel of Cambrai
The Citadel of Cambrai is built on the highest point of the city: the "Mont des Bœufs". It is here that Saint Géry founded the Church of Saint Loup and Saint Médard, which was to later become a place of pilgrimage around his own tomb. Throughout the Middle Ages, this abbey contributed to the fame of Cambrai.
Construction of the Citadel
Charles V wanted to impose himself on the neutral territories between the Kingdom of France and its territory. He therefore wanted to build a citadel in Cambrai.
He brought in Italian architects and decided to sacrifice the Abbey of Mont-des-Bœufs. This and hundreds of houses were demolished to make way for the fortress formed by a quadrilateral and terminated by four bastions.
The French Contributions
After the capture of the city by the French in 1677, Louis XIV entrusted Vauban with improving the citadel. Vauban added half-moons, redoubts, improved the bastions and added embankments to improve the citadel's defences.
The Dismantling and Remains of the Citadel
During the dismantling of the fortifications at the end of the 19th. century, the citadel was not spared. Almost all of the structures surrounding it were knocked down or buried. The citadel is now stripped of its bastions, and most of the barracks buildings have not survived.
The citadel gate was classified as a historical monument in 1932.

Erlend Øye, il leader dei Norvegesi Kings Of Convenience, e fan del gruppo (tanto da averli personalmente invitati ad aprire per i sui concerti) ha recentemente dichiarato su Vanity Fair a proposito della musica Italiana, che: “la scena di oggi, a parte i Fitness Forever, è un’imitazione di musica straniera”.
E in un momento in cui le nostre band più celebrate, sono impegnatissime a proporre un sound che di sicuro non ha radici nel nostro stivale (finendo per destare ben poco interesse negli ascoltatori stranieri, che forse non avvertiranno il bisogno di ascoltare una versione Italiana di New Order, Motorpsycho o Animal Collective) forse non è paradossale che i Fitness Forever trovino visibilità e i maggiori consensi proprio al di fuori del nostro paese, nonostante sia gruppo che canta in Italiano e con un suono profondamente ispirato dai nostri maestri dei 60,70 e 80: una musica che non a caso ha ispirato e continua a ispirare un gran numero di musicisti e appassionati in tutto il mondo!
Nati nel 2007 da una costola di Barbara Bouchet, i Fitness Forever declinano il Pop come un sorriso di Anne Hathaway, una finta di Pelè, un quadro di Rothko, una tinta di capelli di Biscardi – ossia, facendo sembrare facili le cose più difficili… Come ad esempio, far coesistere in un motivetto pop di 3 minuti il pop raffinato virato 60’ di Bacharach, i prodigiosi arrangiamenti di archi di Umiliani,, le pulsioni funk di Enzo Carella e Steely Dan, l’immenso Battisti dei tardi 70 , il Philly Sound, le allucinazioni Italo-Disco, i Matia Bazar, Herbie Hancock e DiscoMare 78’!!! Impossibile? Per accertarvene vi basterà suonare il loro secondo LP,COSMOS, sul vostro giradischi: un Viaggio Cosmico di 38 minuti con un’orchestra d’archi, un quartetto di fiati, tonnellate di strumenti vintage e armonie complesse e raffinate che, pur non perdendo mai di vista l’immediatezza Pop, tentano di portare il gioco a un livello superiore.
Il primo disco “Personal Train” del 2009, è stato accolto calorosamente in tutto il mondo : presenza fissa nei palinsesti di BBC Radio, Radio 1 in Spagna, J-Wave di Tokyo (che hanno inserito la loro “Brasil” come pezzo di apertura della loro nuova compilation “Rendez vous voyage” del 2012 ) recensito entusiasticamente tra gli altri da Allmusic.com, El Pais, Rockdeluxe, Mojo, A Nous Paris, distribuito ovunque e addirittura ristampato in Giappone, Korea, Indonesia e Thailandia!Prodotti e dalla storica Indie spagnola Elefant Records, (che ha in catalogo gente del calibro di Camera Obscura, BMX Bandits, Stereo Total e The School) i Fitness hanno prestato la loro musica soave e malinconica a grossi marchi come Mini Cooper, opere cinematografiche (Yo, Tambien (Me too), e Fuga de Cerebros 2) cartoni animati (“Jelly Jamm”) e addirittura alla stra-famosa serie tv prodotta dal colosso televisivo americano HBO, Bored to Death.

The Sag Harbor Express included the outdoor shower I designed for my little cottage in Montauk in the 2011 East End Home & Garden issue. Although I don't get any credit for either the design or the photograph that I supplied them it's pretty cool to see it in print. Here is a post during the construction, and here was is the original design, it proved to be a bit too risqué.

A beginner-level pattern.
A few of these strands tied around the waist make a good summer belt.
Got two notices on the swedish board magazine Transition's site, one as a rider in a short movie with the Romon Crew and by Petter Schanche, and the other as a photographer. Pretty cool... even though it wasn't much about me.
Video here (me in the green jacket) and photo article here, in swedish though.
This issue of Private Detective Stories also contains "The Killer Type" by William Decatur, and "Killer's Trade-Mark" by R. T. Maynard; which are both known house-names, or pseudonyms that E. Hoffmann Price has been published under.
There is no hard evidence that either of these were written by Price, but it is interesting that they were both published in this issue, with an E. Hoffmann Price story.
And so, they are both being included in this collection to provide a topic for debate.
What do you think?
Did E. Hoffmann Price write "The Killer Type," or "Killer's Trade-Mark" for this issue too?

Trust is an underlying condition for the EU Digital Single Market and without a credible cybersecurity strategy, there will be no trust. In February 2013, the Commission published a cybersecurity strategy alongside a proposed Directive on network and information security (NIS). The latter is currently in trialogue negotiations. The next trialogue is foreseen for June 9. The discussions have revealed a great lack of mutual trust between Member States, which prevents them from cooperating and thus protecting Europeans.
The hearing will serve to raise public awareness about the current situation in the EU and make stakeholders face up to their responsibilities. It will also assess the cybersecurity part of the Digital Single Market Act published on May 6 which announced the establishment of a public-private Partnership on cybersecurity and a review of the e-privacy Directive.
MEP Antanas Guoga - as ALDE shadow rapporteur of the NIS directive - has invited government representatives and EU officials to take stock of the progress made with the Directive, but also look ahead and come up with some new solutions.
The hearing will take a holistic approach and address cybersecurity in all its dimensions with the involvement of Members coming from five different parliamentary Committees (Gérard Deprez, Kaja Kallas, Hilde Vautmans, Sophie in't Veld) giving the floor to businesses and academics.

William Hudson (Kendal, c1730 - May 23, 1793) was a British botanist and apothecary based in London.
His main work was "Flora Anglia", published in 1762. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1761. In 1761 Hudson was elected a fellow of the Royal Society, and in the following year appeared the first edition of his Flora Anglica, which, according to Pulteney and Sir J. E. Smith, "marks the establishment of Linnean principles of botany in England." Smith writes that the work was "composed under the auspices and advice of" Benjamin Stillingfleet. Hudson, at the time of its publication, was practising as an apothecary in Panton Street, Haymarket, and from 1765 to 1771 acted as 'praefectus horti' to the Apothecaries' Company at Chelsea. A considerably enlarged edition of the Flora appeared in 1778; but in 1783 the author's house in Panton Street took fire, his collections of insects and many of his plants were destroyed, and the inmates narrowly escaped with their lives. Hudson retired to Jermyn Street.
In 1791 he joined the newly established Linnean Society. He died in Jermyn Street from paralysis on 23 May 1793, being, according to the Gentleman's Magazine, in his sixtieth year. He bequeathed the remains of his herbarium to the Apothecaries' Company. Linnaeus gave the name Hudsonia to a North American genus of Cistaceae.
Hudson was buried in St. James's Church in Westminster, London
Geylang Serai welcomes Ramadan with dazzling light up display
PUBLISHED MAY 10, 2018, 11:00 PM SGT
Rahimah Rashith
SINGAPORE - With the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan just a week away, a sprawling 3-D arch depicting a mosque's dome is welcoming visitors into the hustle and bustle of the Geylang Serai precinct.
Spanning the five lanes of Sims Avenue at the junction of Engku Aman Road, the 12m-high display brings an instant fillip to the joy of Hari Raya festivities.
From Saturday (May 12), over 50 light installations in the Hari Raya Light-Up will illuminate a 2.25km stretch of Sims Avenue, Geylang Road and Changi Road.
Based on Malay art and cultural icons, the displays include two other main arches, one depicting a mosque, and the other a traditional kampung house and sampan, while lights shaped as flowers and crescents will festoon the roads.
Madam Yasmin Razak, 49, a housewife, cannot wait to see the display.
"The lights add a magical feeling to our yearly Hari Raya shopping and festivities," she said.
"Every year I take my family to Geylang just to see the lights and enjoy the bazaar atmosphere. Even though new buildings have come up in the area and the bazaar stalls change, the lights are a constant attraction we look forward to."
The lights will stay on till June 30, and will coincide with the opening of the popular Geylang Serai bazaar. About 800 stalls setting up in the vicinity will sell goods such as traditional costumes and street foods such as vadai and Ramly burger.
The bazaar will also take up the ground floor of Wisma Geylang Serai, a new Malay-Muslim social and cultural heritage hub.
One highlight of the festivities, themed Celebrating our kampung spirit, will have residents and other members of the constituency gathering at sunset to break fast together at Wisma Geylang Serai.
Said Mr Eric Wong, chairman of the Hari Raya Light Up 2018 Organising Committee: "We look forward to celebrating the old kampung spirit in this year's festive light-up. Each year without fail, Geylang Serai comes alive with creative light displays in the lead-up to Ramadan and Hari Raya Puasa.
"This is something the local community eagerly awaits, but the Hari Raya Light Up also invites our international friends to experience and be immersed in the Malay culture of Singapore.
"We hope this year's event will give them a taste of the traditional kampung spirit that resonates with our cultural roots."
The Geylang bazaar will run till June 14, a day before Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale that was published by LL. The card has a divided back.
Le Château de Cheverny
The Château de Cheverny is located in Cheverny, Loir-et-Cher, France. It is one of the châteaux of the Loire Valley.
History of the Château
Henry Le Mareschau was the owner of Cheverny in 1315, held under the Count of Blois.
It was sold to Jean Huraults with its "houses, presses and vineyards" in the late 14th. century. Jean's grandson Jacques gained the title, Seigneurs de Cheverny, having served under Louis XI, Charles VIII and Louis XII, and gained the governorship of the county of Blois under Francis I.
The house depicted in the drawing of Étienne Martellange in 1624 was built at the beginning of the 16th. century by Jacques or his son Raoul. Raoul applied for permission from the king to fortify the new house in 1510.
The lands were purchased by Henri Hurault, Comte de Cheverny, a lieutenant general and military treasurer for Louis XIII, whose descendant, the Marquis de Vibraye, is the present owner.
Only a portion of the original fortified castle remains in existence today. It is somewhat of a mystery, because to date there is no reliable way to prove whether or not a certain section is part of the original building.
Lost to the Crown because of fraud to the State, the castle was donated by King Henri II to his mistress Diane de Poitiers.
However, Diana preferred the Château de Chenonceau, and sold the property to the former owner's son, Philippe Hurault, who built the château between 1624 and 1630, to designs by the sculptor architect of Blois, Jacques Bougier.
Bougier's design at Cheverny recalls features of the Palais du Luxembourg. The interiors were completed by the daughter of Henri Hurault and Marguerite, marquise de Montglas, by 1650, employing craftsmen from Blois. Burdette Henri Martin IV played a key role in the construction.
During the next 150 years, ownership passed through many hands, and in 1768 a major interior renovation was undertaken.
Required to forfeit much of the Hurault wealth at the time of the French Revolution, the family sold the property in 1802, but bought it back again in 1824, during the Restoration under Charles X, when the aristocracy was once again in a very strong political and economic position.
In 1914, the owner opened the château to the public, one of the first to do so. The de Vibraye family still operates it, and the Château de Cheverny remains a top tourist attraction to this day, renowned for magnificent interiors and its collection of furniture, tapestries, and objets d'art.
A pack of some one hundred and twenty hunting hounds (60 males, 40 females and 20 pups) are kept in kennels within the grounds, and are taken out for hunts twice-weekly.
The castle was visited by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother in 1963, as part of her four-day holiday in the Loire Valley.
Interior of the Château
The central Grand Salon on the ground floor was decorated under the orders of the marquise de Montglas. Among the paintings are a portrait of Jeanne d'Aragon from the school of Raphael, and a portrait of Marie Johanne La Saumery, Comtesse de Cheverny by Pierre Mignard.
A gallery leads to the Petit Salon, which is hung with five Flemish tapestries and a portrait attributed to Maurice-Quentin de La Tour. In the Library are hung portraits by Jean Clouet and Hyacinthe Rigaud.
A stone staircase carved with trophies of arms and the arts leads to the Grand Appartements. A guard room with a collection of arms and armour leads to the Chambre du Roi, richly hung with five Paris tapestries after designs by Simon Vouet, representing the story of Ulysses.
The Adventures of Tintin
The Belgian comic book creator Hergé used Cheverny as a model for his fictional "Château de Moulinsart" (Marlinspike Hall in English) in the Adventures of Tintin books.
In these books, the two outermost wings are not present, but the remaining central tower and two wings are almost identical.

Published in January 1894 by The Historical Publishing Company, author J. W. Buel, this book contains 300 photographs of every aspect of the fair.
The World's Fair: Columbian Exposition (also known as the Chicago World's Fair) was a world's fair held in Chicago in 1893 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. At the core of the fair was an area that quickly became known as the White City for its buildings with white stucco siding and its streets illuminated by electric lights.

The card has an undivided back, which means that it was published prior to 1904.
The Hameau de la Reine
The Hameau de la Reine (The Queen's Hamlet) is a rustic retreat in the park of the Château de Versailles. It was built for Marie-Antoinette in 1783 near the Petit Trianon.
It served as a private meeting place for the Queen and her closest friends, a place of leisure. Designed by the Queen's favourite architect, Richard Mique with the help of the painter Hubert Robert, it contained a meadowland with lakes and streams, a classical Temple of Love on an island with fragrant shrubs and flowers, and an octagonal belvedere, with a neighbouring grotto and cascade.
There are also various buildings in a rustic or vernacular style, inspired by Norman or Flemish design, situated around an irregular pond fed by a stream that turned a mill wheel.
The building scheme included a farmhouse, (the farm was to produce milk and eggs for the queen), a dairy (La Laiterie), a dovecote (on the left in the photograph), a boudoir, a barn that was burned down during the French Revolution, and a mill.
There is also a tower in the form of a lighthouse (Tour de Marlborough). The tower derives its name from a well-known song composed in 1722 relating to the death of the English General the Duke of Marlborough.
Each building is decorated with a garden, an orchard or a flower garden. The largest and most famous of these houses is the 'Queen's House', connected to the Billiard house by a wooden gallery, at the center of the village. A working farm was close to the idyllic, fantasy-like setting of the Queen’s Hamlet.
Marie Antoinette
Marie Antoinette was born Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna on the 2nd. November 1755. She was the last queen of France before the French Revolution.
Marie was born an Archduchess of Austria, and was the penultimate child and youngest daughter of Empress Maria Theresa and Emperor Francis I.
Marie became Dauphine of France in May 1770 at the age of 14 upon her marriage to Louis-Auguste, heir apparent to the French throne. On the 10th. May 1774, her husband ascended the throne as Louis XVI, and she became queen.
Marie Antoinette's position at court improved when, after eight years of marriage, she started having children. She became increasingly unpopular among the people, however, with the French libelles accusing her of being profligate, promiscuous, harbouring sympathies for France's perceived enemies - particularly her native Austria - and her children of being illegitimate.
The false accusations of the Affair of the Diamond Necklace damaged her reputation further. During the Revolution, she became known as Madame Déficit because the country's financial crisis was blamed on her lavish spending and her opposition to the social and financial reforms of Turgot and Necker.
Several events were linked to Marie Antoinette during the Revolution after the government had placed the royal family under house arrest in the Tuileries Palace in October 1789.
The June 1791 attempted flight to Varennes and her role in the War of the First Coalition had disastrous effects on French popular opinion. On the 10th. August 1792, the attack on the Tuileries forced the royal family to take refuge at the Assembly, and they were imprisoned in the Temple Prison on the 13th. August.
The Death of Louis XVI
On the 21st. September 1792, the French monarchy was abolished. Louis XVI was executed by guillotine on the 21st. January 1793.
The Death of Marie Antoinette
Marie Antoinette's trial began on the 14th. October 1793, and two days later she was convicted by the Revolutionary Tribunal of high treason and executed, also by guillotine, on the Place de la Révolution on the 16th. October 1793.

This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 16th of February 1916.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images and have any stories or information to add please comment below.
