JoAnn Berman

JoAnn Berman (born May 5, 1957) is an American born fashion designer and furniture designer.

She is widely known for her up cycling reconstructive clothing, and her contribution to hip hop and reggaeton style of dress of the early 1990s. Most notably, Berman was pivotal in creating the definitive looks of pop rave, hip hop, reggaeton and gangster style seen in her work with Jodeci, P. Diddy, Heavy D, Proyecto Uno and Michael Jackson. As recorded in Valerie Steele's Fifty Years of Fashion: New Look to Now, Berman is known by many as the " Queen of Reconstruction", constructing her highly adored blue denim "prison" suits throughout her career. With Berman's recent 2015 Smithsonian Institution induction in the American History Museum, Berman's impactful contributions in the representation of such style, particularly with Proyecto Uno will be in the permanent collection.

Early life and education
Born in Manhattan, New York, Berman grew up in the Bronx and at the age of 7, started recycling old clothing. By the age of 15, she was working for notable, steel sculptor, Richard Shore, fabricating welded pieces for Storm King Art Center and Newark Airport. By 17, Berman decided to follow the punk rock movement to San Francisco, CA where she enrolled in The San Francisco Art Institute. While at The San Francisco Art Institute, Berman, furthering her interest in welded Cor-ten steel sculpting, majored in sculpture creation. Shortly after beginning her time at The San Francisco Art Institute, she started her career creating clothes for bands such as The San Francisco Mutants and vocalist, Silke Berlinn. During this period, Berman also attended Berkeley California for liberal arts, participating in Angela Davis's Women's Studies class as a student. Following her time at Berkeley, she returned to New York in 1979. Then in 1979, she met Bruce Douglas, an English bass player with the band Snatch, which included Douglas, Patty Palladin, and Judy Nylon. Berman and Douglas fell in love and shortly, thereafter, Berman joined Snatch as the keyboard player. Playing Max's Kansas City, CBGB's, and The Squat Theatre opening for Nico, Snatch then went to England in late 1979 for a tour, which never took place. Despite the tour not taking place, Berman and Douglas, still in love, decided to marry in London, where Berman worked at The Screen on The Hill Movie Theater. Berman, then, proceeded to be accepted to attend Central St. Martin's. While attending Central St.Martin's, she worked for designer, Zhandra Rhodes and followed the wave of punk via Vivienne Westwood, Malcolm McLaren.

Career

Continuing on into a turbulent time of the advent of punk rock, Berman pursued her costume design career at Club 57 St. Mark's Place in the East Village. With Club 57, catering to the likes of Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, Berman created costumes for the musical, "Boeing Boeing". Additionally, while working at Club 57, Berman worked at FOOD Restaurant in Soho with her co-worker being Cookie Mueller. Following her work at Club 57 and FOOD Restaurant, Berman started creating one-of-a-kind, high-end bustiers that were sold at Patricia Field's store on 8th Street in Greenwich Village. In September 1988, she met Al Diaz at Dogbrothers recording studio on Ludlow St. in the Lower East Side. Al Diaz, being Jean-Michel's writing partner of SAMO, became her common-law husband for 12 years. They traveled immediately to Costa Rica in 1988, and became inseparable despite Al's intense battle with drugs.

On return to the Lower East Side, Berman began to dream about creating a thug-gangsta look for the up-and-coming hip hop bands of that moment. She, then, created in her loft on Rivington St., an iconic suit known as simply, "The Jail Suit." The Jail Suit was then sold at Patricia Field's store under "JoAnn Berman is BOIY KRAZI". Immediately after seeing these suits at Patricia's, then P. Diddy, known as Puff Daddy at the time, called Berman to request suits for his new group, Jodeci.

She created those suits and sent them to him at Uptown Records three days later. Two weeks later, Puff Daddy requested more. Two weeks after that, Puff Daddy called Berman again and requested they meet at her studio at 109 W. 27th St. for what was known as "the surprise." He arrived to her studio with Heavy D. Al Diaz was present as well. Berman was given an order for four jail suits for Heavy D to wear in Michael Jackson's 1992 "Jam" video, that would soon become some of her most notable pieces. A month later, Michael Jackson's 1992 "Jam" video premiered on MTV and Berman's career skyrocketed.

After the release of the "Jam" video, her iconic designs, appeared in Paper Magazine, Italian Vogue with Cindy Crawford, American Vogue, and The New York Times Style page. She continued to create looks for the tours of Jodeci, as well as Salt n' Pepa and Proyecto Uno. She even went on to create designs for Joe Public's "This One is For You" video. At this point in her career, Berman took the time off to travel to Mexico with Diaz, where they camped through the jungles of Chiapas and notably, Palenque, which changed her life. The mysteriousness and magic of Mexico, then, grew to become a huge influence in the development of her aesthetic upon her return to New York. When Berman returned to New York, she focused on taking care of Diaz, exhausting her emotional and mental energy. She had to stop and close her business, BOIY KRAZI.

After closing BOIY KRAZI, in 1998, Berman and Diaz parted ways amicably. Berman, then, went on to teach in East Harlem and acquired a studio on 3rd Avenue and 119th St in East Harlem. In addition to teaching, for some time now, Berman had been silk screen printing with the screens she had kept from BOIY KRAZI. Inspired by her travels in Mexico and her day-to-day visuals of the then,rough East Harlem, Latin gangsters, she then met Fabio Anzolin Borges, a student at AMDA who became her best friend. Borges was a Brazilian actor from Florianopolis. Borges and Berman would often spend entire days dreaming of 17th century Brazil and as a result, Berman created and became more passionate with her imagery of re-vamped Afro-Brazilian art, history and culture. Berman then opened her first store, BOIY KRAZI, in 2007 on 112th Street and 2nd Ave. Rihanna was her first customer, whose then single, "Umbrella", was number 1 on the charts.

Within a month, Berman's store was burned to the ground and was under an arson investigation. After this trauma, Berman regrouped and moved to Brooklyn,N.Y. After moving to Brooklyn, Berman with Leonel Logrono, a Dominican sewing machine repairman, whom she married in 2005. She then proceeded to open another store in Williamsburg, BOIY KRAZI'S GROOVI GARDENS. BOIY KRAZI GROOVI GARDENS stayed open from February 2008 to late 2008. Shortly thereafter, Berman opened her third store, Thug Mama, on N4th St. in Williamsburg in 2011.
FURNITURE

Before her store burned to the ground in 2007, Berman took her textiles and began creating what was to become one of the earliest and most iconic up cycled furniture as art. Using her printed fabrics and old-antique frames of any nature, she began reupholstering furniture and that became her not yet known passion.

In 2008, Berman resumed her fashion career in Bushwick in Brooklyn, N.Y. She became the premiere designer at The Green Shows. Berman showed in Fashion Week and received the 2011 Ecco-Domini Semi-Finalist award in Sustainable Clothing. She also received Time Out Magazine's and WWD's Breakout Designer award. Berman sewed, printed and patterned everything herself. Berman also appeared on the premiere episode of Lifetime Television's " A 24 Hr. Catwalk", which she won.

After frustration with the clothing industry and her approach to her clothing being a one-of-a-kind, reconstructed art piece, Berman turned completely to furniture. Her up cycled Chrome chair appeared in the Thanksgiving issue of the 2013 NY Magazine's The Cut's Best Bet. She then appeared on the April 2014 cover of New York Cottages and Gardens for her mini-rock star arm chairs.

HMCS Stellarton

HMCS Stellarton was a modified  that served in the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War. She fought primarily in the Battle of the Atlantic as a convoy escort. She was named for Stellarton, Nova Scotia. After the war she was sold to the Chilean Navy.

Background

Flower-class corvettes like Stellarton serving with the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War were different from earlier and more traditional sail-driven corvettes.  The "corvette" designation was created by the French as a class of small warships; the Royal Navy borrowed the term for a period but discontinued its use in 1877. During the hurried preparations for war in the late 1930s, Winston Churchill reactivated the corvette class, needing a name for smaller ships used in an escort capacity, in this case based on a whaling ship design. The generic name "flower" was used to designate the class of these ships, which – in the Royal Navy – were named after flowering plants.

Corvettes commissioned by the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War were named after communities for the most part, to better represent the people who took part in building them. This idea was put forth by Admiral Percy W. Nelles. Sponsors were commonly associated with the community for which the ship was named. Royal Navy corvettes were designed as open sea escorts, while Canadian corvettes were developed for coastal auxiliary roles which was exemplified by their minesweeping gear. Eventually the Canadian corvettes would be modified to allow them to perform better on the open seas.

Construction
Stellarton was ordered in June 1942 as part of the 1943–44 Increased Endurance Flower-class building program, which followed the main layout of the 1942–43 program. The only significant difference is that the majority of the 43–44 program replaced the 2-pounder Mk.VIII single "pom-pom" anti-aircraft gun with 2 twin 20-mm and 2 single 20-mm anti-aircraft guns. Stellarton was laid down by Morton Engineering and Dry Dock Co. at Quebec City, Quebec 16 November 1943 and launched 27 April 1944. She was commissioned into the RCN 29 September 1944 at Quebec City.

Service history
After working up in Bermuda, Stellarton was assigned to the Mid-Ocean Escort Force. She was allocated to escort group C-3 as a trans-Atlantic convoy escort. She escorted her first convoy in January 1945. She spent the rest of the war with the group.

Stellarton was paid off 1 July 1945 at Sorel, Quebec and placed in reserve. She was transferred to the War Assets Corporation and sold to the Chilean Navy in 1946.

Chilean Navy
She arrived in Chile 12 April 1946 and was renamed Casma. She served with the Chilean Navy until 30 December 1967 when she was decommissioned. She was sold for scrap and broken up in July 1969.

Archaeopsittacus

Archaeopsittacus is a genus of prehistoric parrot. It is known from deposits of either Late Oligocene or Early Miocene age (c. 23 mya) at Verreaux near Saint-Gérand-le-Puy, France. A single species, Archaeopsittacus verreauxi,
is known.

The genus was apparently close to the Old World lineages of parrots and might conceivably be assigned to the modern subfamily Psittacinae - either in the strict sense (i.e. including the African parrots and possibly the Asian parrots and parakeets) or in the loose sense (including all psittaciforms except some or all of lories and lorikeets, cockatoos, Nestorinae, kakapo and Arini), despite its early age. Its lack of apomorphies prevents any better placement until more material is found.

Low-degree saturation

In a scale-free network the degree distribution follows a power law function. In some empirical examples this power-law fits the degree distribution well only in the high degree region, however for small degree nodes the empirical degree-distribution deviates from it. See for example the network of scientific citations. This deviation of the observed degree-distribution from the theoretical prediction at the low-degree region is often referred as low-degree saturation.

Typically the empirical degree-distribution deviates downwards from the power-law function fitted on higher order nodes, which means low-degree nodes are less frequent in real data than what is predicted by the Barabási–Albert model.

Theoretical foundation
One of the key assumptions of the BA model is preferential attachment. It states, the probability of acquiring a new link from a new entrant node is proportional to the degree of each node. In other words, every new entrant favors to connect to higher-degree nodes. Formally:

Where  is the probability of acquiring a link by a node with degree .

With a slight modification of this rule low-degree saturation can be predicted easily, by adding a term called initial attractiveness (). This was first introduced by Dorogovtsev, Mendes and Samukhin in 2000.

With this modified attachment rule a low-degree node (with low ) has a higher probability to acquire new links compared to the original set-up. Thus it is more attractive. Therefore, this handicap makes less likely the existence of small degree-nodes as it is observed in real data.
More formally this modifies the degree distribution as:

As a side effect it also increases the exponent relative to the original BA model.

It is called initial attractiveness because in the BA framework every node grows in degree by time. And as  goes large the significance of this fixed additive term  diminishes.

Significance
All the distinctive features of scale-free networks are due to the existence of extremely high degree nodes, often referred as hubs. The existence of these hubs are predicted by the power-law distribution of the degrees. However low-degree saturation is a deviation from this theoretical degree distribution, since it characterize the low end of the degree distribution, it does not deny the existence of hubs. Therefore, a scale-free network with low-degree saturation can produce all the following characteristics: small-world characteristic, robustness, low attack tolerance, spreading behavior.

If it is modeled via the BA model augmented by the initial attractiveness, then  this solution reduces the size of hubs because it affects the exponent of the degree distribution positively relative to the original BA model.

Prisma (satellite project)

Prisma is a satellite project led by the Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) which consist of two satellites that fly in formation. Prisma is operated in collaboration with CNES, the French space agency, which provides the radiofrequency metrology system that enables the satellites to fly in close formation while autonomously avoiding collisions.

It was launched, along with the PICARD spacecraft, on 15 June 2010 on a Dnepr launcher from Dombarovskiy Cosmodrome, near Yasny, Russia. Its primary objective is to test autonomous formation flying.  A secondary objective was to flight test a new monopropellant thruster using ammonium dinitramide (ADN) propellant.

On 12 August 2010, SSC reported that the two satellites, called Mango and Tango, had separated from each other for the first time.

Joseph Byrne (Australian politician)

Joseph Patrick Byrne (11 June 1893 – 25 April 1973) was an Australian politician. He was a Labor Party member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 1930 to 1932, representing the electorate of Parramatta.

Byrne was born at Auburn and educated at St. Benedict's School. He worked variously as a paper seller, dock hand, and blacksmith striker in his early life. He worked at McDonald's, a well-known softgoods store in York Street, from 1910 until the late 1920s, before opening his own store in Auburn; the store was rented and later sold after his election to parliament. He was an active member of the local Labor Party, serving as secretary of the Auburn branch. He was also an alderman of the Auburn Council at the time of his election to parliament.

Byrne was preselected as the Labor candidate for the electorate of Parramatta at the 1930 state election. Parramatta had been made newly marginal by a redistribution, and amidst Labor's strong victory under Jack Lang, he won the seat from incumbent UAP MLA Herbert Lloyd. In 1932, however, Lang was sacked by the state Governor, and Byrne was one of the many casualties of Labor's heavy loss at the subsequent election. He again contested the seat in 1935, but was soundly defeated. His last run for public office was at the 1940 federal election, when he unsuccessfully contested preselection for the Senate.

Byrne worked as a commercial traveller for the Egg Board after his parliamentary defeat, working until his retirement in 1963. He died at Parramatta in 1973, and was buried at North Rocks Cemetery.

Cyberball

is an Atari Games arcade game of 7-man American football, using robotic avatars of different speeds, sizes, and skill sets set in the year 2022. The game replaced the standard downs system with an explosive ball that progresses from "cool" to "warm", "hot", and "critical" status as it is used. Players can only defuse the ball, resetting it from its current state back to "cool" by crossing the 50 yard line or by change of possession, whether through touchdown, interception or fumble. A robot holding a critical ball while being tackled is destroyed along with the ball. The robots also possess finite durability. As offensive units are tackled, they wear down, finally issuing smoke and then flames after a number of hits. A flaming robot will explode when hit, thereby fumbling the ball. Players can upgrade robots with faster and more durable units using money bonuses they earn during play. Players select from run, pass or option plays on offense, after which the computer presents four individual plays from which to choose. On defense, a player can select short, medium or long defenses, and then select a specific defensive scheme.

The standard Cyberball cabinet consists of two monitors, each with two sets of controls for a maximum of four players, but Atari Games released single player and two player versions as well.

The standard configuration allows single player, two player cooperative, two player head-to-head or four player head-to-head play. Playing with two teams of two persons opened up a new dimension of gameplay. Computer-controlled avatars ran offensive patterns in very specific ways before reaching their assigned passing spots. Human players, however, could exploit the fact that a number of offensive plays started with identical formations. By choosing one play, but moving their avatars in imitation of a similar but different play, the offensive team could disguise their intentions before suddenly breaking for their assigned pass locations. This offensive flexibility forced defending players to quickly recognize plays and move to break them up by rushing to what they guessed was the intended passing spot. Most often, the timely use of the defender's turbo, a short-term speed boost usable once per play, would determine whether the play resulted in a missed pass, an interception, a long gain, or a score. This ability to improvise in four player mode built the popularity of Cyberball, leading to many tournaments across the United States for a period of time.

Cyberball was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992 by Jaleco. Tengen intended to release it unlicensed, but Jaleco purchased rights to publish it first. It has also been ported to other platforms, including the Amiga and Sega Genesis.

Tournament Cyberball 2072

Atari Games released Tournament Cyberball 2072 in 1989, which included the following changes:

New "Game Breakers" mode
Added Rookie mode
Bugfixes, in particular the onside kick
Added 100 additional plays
Introduced the powerback

Owners of the original Cyberball cabinets could upgrade to Cyberball 2072 via an Atari Games-produced piggyback board which updated the old Cyberball units to the Tournament version.

Tournament Cyberball developed such a following in the late '80s that many fans of the game from all over the world still play regular matches today using emulators, as well as tournaments and leagues using physical machines in arcades.

Cyberball 2072 was released in Midway Arcade Treasures 2, a disc featuring a collection of arcade games, for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox in October 2004.

It was released on Xbox Live Arcade for the Xbox 360 on September 5, 2007.

Tournament Cyberball 2072 was included in the compilation Midway Arcade Origins released in 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Lakka

Lakka or  is a liqueur produced in Finland which derives its flavor from the cloudberry fruit.  The word  means cloudberry in Finnish.

The beverage is produced by soaking the berries in alcohol anywhere between two and six months until sweetened, and is branded by Chymos and Lapponia, both of which are distributed by the Sweden-based V&S Group, best known for its Absolut Vodka product.

The Finnish name for the cloudberry fruit is believed to have originated in the Middle Ages, where a local farmer discovered a man with a dark complexion and disturbing teeth lying near the fruit. When the sleeping man woke up he started speaking in incomprehensible tongues, saying things about "clouds" and "magical sprays". The man then bolted away into the woods screaming "Lakka", presumably his name. Thus the fruit next to the man was named.

Cotton ball diet

The cotton ball diet is a fad diet that involves consuming cotton balls dipped in liquids such as juices or smoothies. The cotton is intended to make a person's stomach feel full without them gaining weight. The diet has been repeatedly condemned as dangerous.

Health risks
Cotton can cause blockages in the digestive system. Blockage in the intestines could result in dehydration, death of the gastrointestinal tract and damage to internal organs. The diet will also result in a nutrition disorder.

The diet can also cause choking because the cotton balls cannot be broken down and must be eaten whole.  Most cotton balls are made from bleached polyester rather than cotton, and toxins in the synthetic ingredients of cotton balls can build up over time and cause organ damage.

The diet is considered to be equal to an eating disorder, eating disorders also come with mood disorders such as depression.

Black Lace

Black Lace are a British pop band, best known for novelty party records, including their biggest hit, "Agadoo". The band first came to the public eye after being selected to represent the UK in the 1979 Eurovision Song Contest, in which they finished seventh with the song "Mary Ann". With numerous line-up changes (the only original member being Colin Gibb) Black Lace went on to have success with novelty party anthems such as "Superman" and "Do the Conga".

Today, 'Black Lace' consist of two working bands; The 'Full time' International based band (officially known as: 'The Original Black lace') featuring original member Colin Gibb, who has taken the band around the world playing the party show throughout Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Canada and the US. Also: the 'UK' based, part time band, featuring 'ex member' Dene Michael (aka 'Black Lace Conga party')

Pre-Black Lace (1973–1975)
Terry Dobson and school friend Ian Howarth formed The Impact, as a five-piece pop group in 1969, with Alan Barton, Steve Scholey and Nigel Scott. The group also performed under the names Penny Arcade and Love or Confusion.

Howarth left the band for a short while but returned to the line-up in 1974, and Dobson also left to be replaced briefly by Neil Hardcastle. Dobson then re-joined and Scott left in 1975; that same year the band adopted the name Black Lace. Howarth left the band for good in 1976, and was replaced by Colin Gibb (born Colin Routh, 8 December 1953).

Black Lace (1976–1981)
After turning professional at the beginning of 1976, the band toured the majority of the UK, managed by Keith Mills, commencing their first summer season at the Skegness Bier Garten. The following year their summer season would take them to Butlins in Filey, North Yorkshire and Skegness, Lincolnshire. An EP was recorded and produced by comedian Freddie 'Parrotface' Davis at his studio, which was to be sold at their shows. The group were voted Yorkshire Band of the Year by BBC Radio Leeds, and best clubland group playing at the Winter Gardens, Blackpool.

In 1979, Black Lace recorded their first single, "Mary Ann", for ATV music and a recording contract followed with EMI. As the song required a more 'throaty' vocal, Alan Barton was switched to being lead singer, with Steve Scholey moving to backing vocals for the band's recordings, but remained as lead singer on live performances.  The song won the BBC Television's A Song For Europe. Other television appearances around this time included Nationwide, Multi-Coloured Swap Shop, Top of the Pops and Juke Box Jury. At the 1979 Eurovision Song Contest held in Israel, the band finished seventh and "Mary Ann" reached No. 42 in the UK Singles Chart.

The band's follow-up single, "So Long Suzy Baby", failed to chart in the UK (as EMI couldn't decide on which track should be used and delayed on the planned release date), but achieved success in Europe. Black Lace found great success with live performances and TV shows, notably in Poland and Bulgaria, and on TV in East Germany, West Germany and Spain.

The band toured Denmark in 1980, supporting Suzi Quatro and working with Tommy Seebach, a Danish entertainer. Black Lace and Seebach recorded "Hey Hey Jock McRay" for the Danish singles market, but an intended 1980 tour of Poland was called off because of political unrest in the country.

Chart success (1981–1987)
In 1981, the band split. Dobson joined the Castleford rock band Stormer who had a recording contract with Ringo Starr. Scholey departed, leaving the others to settle huge debts incurred whilst touring. The band became a duo of Gibb and Barton. It was this line-up that would give the band its biggest chart success.

The duo played the Northern club circuit using pre-recorded backing tracks, which was controversial at the time. Initially they used the name 'Lace' but soon reverted to 'Black Lace' and recruited a new manager, John Wagstaff. They recorded an instrumental single based on the "Chicken Dance", released as "Birds Dance" in 1981 (using the name 'Busby' instead of Black lace). However, the record was beaten to the charts by another version of the song by The Tweets released as "The Birdie Song". "Birds Dance" has since been retitled "The Birdie Song" and included on Black Lace albums.

Black Lace's 1983 "Superman" single was their first one under their own name on the Flair label, and a promotional video was shot at Casanova's nightclub in Wakefield. One of the hired dancers was the then unknown singer Jane McDonald. "Superman" reached No. 9 in the UK chart, but an attempt at a follow-up single "Hey You!" failed to chart despite being BBC Radio One's 'Record of the Week'. Black Lace received a silver disc for sales of "Superman". They proceeded to tour Denmark with Danish stars 'Laban' and 'Snapshots'

The band's biggest success came in 1984 with the single "Agadoo", selling over one million copies worldwide and reaching No. 2 in the UK chart. "Agadoo" was a hit in Europe, South Africa and Australia. Having been presented with a gold disc for sales in the UK. In a radio interview, presenter, Richard Whiteley forgets Gibb's name and refers to him as 'Mr Agadoo' (the name, Dean Michaels latter adopts for himself, although having no connection with the actual record) The duo recorded their first album Black Lace at Stuck Ranch studios in Denmark. Around this time their record distribution company 'Pinicle' went into receivership, leading to Black Lace and their record company losing an estimated quarter of a million pounds in unpaid royalties for "Agadoo".

The band's follow-up single, "Do The Conga", reached No. 10 in the UK chart, and the accompanying album Party Party – 16 Great Party Icebreakers sold over 650,000 copies in the first five weeks, reaching double platinum status and leading to the band doing TV shows in Germany, Luxembourg, France and Denmark.

In 1985 another single, "El Vino Collapso", was released, with the video shot in Skegness. It failed to reach the top 40, stalling at No. 42 in the UK Singles Chart due to it being 'banned' by the BBC in the wake of the Heysel Stadium disaster, as it had references to "drinking whilst abroad" and deemed unsuitable for radio play. Further releases "I Speaka Da Lingo" and "Hokey Cokey" reached No. 49 and No. 31, respectively.

Black Lace also participated in the recording of the UK No. 1 hit "You'll Never Walk Alone" as part of the charity ensemble, The Crowd (which included members of 10cc, Thin Lizzy, Motörhead, The Hollies, Argent, The Who, The Nolans, The Searchers, Smokey, Gerry and the Pacemakers, plus many more) to raise funds for the families of the victims of the Bradford City stadium fire.

Black Lace's second album Party Party 2 was released for Christmas 1985, and television appearances included a Black Lace special on the BBC 2 rock show The Old Grey Whistle Test, plus  3-2-1, ITV Telethon, Miss Yorkshire Television, International Disco Dance Championship, Pebble Mill at One, and Top of the Pops Christmas Special. Because of such a demanding work schedule, Barton and Gibb found it necessary to charter a private aircraft to meet the deadlines, but the band's success led to a tax demand in excess of £100,000.

In 1986, Dene Michael replaced Gibb, who took time out of live work with Black Lace (remaining an official member of the band) to concentrate on other projects including: promoting pop act 'Party Party' and participating in two tours of Germany, concentrating on a part time photography business, setting up a food retail outlet, and a music equipment retail and installation business.

Another single, "Wig Wam Bam", (featuring Barton, Gibb and Michael) reached No. 63 in the UK chart, but "Viva La Mexico", which was released to capitalise on the 1986 FIFA World Cup football competition, flopped when England was knocked out. Black Lace (Barton and Michael) appeared as themselves in the filming of the 1987 film Rita, Sue and Bob Too, which featured "Gang Bang" and "Have a Screw", which had been recorded by Barton and Gibb the previous year. The pair (Barton/Michael) where also immortalised as caricatures in the TV show 'Spitting Image' and the hit single 'The Chicken Song'. The band had a UK hit with their album Party Crazy.

Later career 1987–present)
September 1987 saw a switch round, Gibb returned ‘full time’ with the band whilst Barton left to join Smokie. Michael became a full-time member of Black Lace and he and Gibb released the single "Jammin' the Sixties" under the name Barracuda. The record was BBC Radio One's Record of the Week, but failed to chart. Summer seasons at the Blackpool Tower followed in 1989 and 1990, plus performances at the 'BBC Radio One Roadshow' in the town, along with the release of the single "I Am The Music Man" which peaked at No. 52 in the UK.
In 1991, due to personal issues, Michael was forced to leave the band to be replaced by Rob Hopcraft. The pair released the single "Penny Arcade", penned by close friend Sammy King, which had originally been a hit for Roy Orbison in 1979. The band appeared on the BBC's Children in Need programme. Under an agreement with Gibb and Wagstaf, not to use the 'Black lace' name, Michael forms new band and uses the name ‘'Barracuda'’ but shortly disband.
1992 Black Lace toured Australia, but Hopcraft was unhappy with a hits album released by an Australian record company as it featured a photograph of his predecessor Dene Michael.

1994 saw the release of the single "Bullshit (Cotton Eyed Joe)", but the race for the charts was won by the Swedish band Rednex with another version of the same song. An album, Saturday Night, followed.

In 1995, Barton died as a result of a coach crash in Germany while touring with Smokie. Also in that year Black Lace shot a promotional video for the single "Electric Slide" in Benidorm, the first video not to be filmed in the UK, and played on British breakfast station GMTV live from Torremolinos in Spain.

Black Lace played one-off shows in 1996 at DJ conventions in Canada and Atlantic City, New Jersey, United States. They released the Action Party and Best Of albums. Gibb was presented with a special Agadoo guitar to celebrate the band's 20th anniversary, but in 1996 Gibb was also made bankrupt by the Inland Revenue.

15 August 1997 was deemed Agadoo Day. Black Lace played 20 shows in 24 hours in Manchester, London, Watford, Northampton, Sheffield, Barnsley, Wakefield, and Leeds, finishing at the Frontier Club, Batley. The event raised over £25,000 for Marie Curie Cancer Care. Peugeot used "Agadoo" in a TV advertisement for the new 106 car, and Black Lace re-recorded the track renaming it 'Agadoo 106 mix', donating all their royalties to 'Marie Curie Cancer Care'. The record spent one week in the UK chart.

A 1999 Black Lace charity reunion concert was organised by their former drummer, Terry Dobson, to celebrate 20 years since the band represented the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest. Live television interviews took place with ITV's Calendar, and the BBC's regional news programmes, on the day of the event. The late Alan Barton's son, Dean, took Alan's place in the band, but original member Steve Scholey declined to attend.

2001, a totally different line up style as Hopcraft is replaced by female vocalist/dancer, Camille Wagstaff and release the single 'Follow the leader' before disbanding.

In 2002, Colin Gibb took the original Black Lace show to Tenerife, playing the now internationally famous 'party shows' in hotels and restaurants on the island, occasionally visiting the UK for TV appearances. In 2003, an adult-themed album called Blue (originally recorded in the UK years previously by Gibb and Michael, and 'banned' by their own record label) was released. In 2004, Gibb took the Black Lace show to mainland Spain to appear alongside Elvis tribute artiste Mike Young and other guest acts at 'The King Lives On' cabaret bar on the Costa Blanca, returning to Tenerife for contracted shows in 2005. In 2007, Gibb married in the UK his long-time girlfriend Sue Kelly. In 2008, Gibb was invited to play bass with the Tenerife-based five-piece rock band 'The Phoenix', along with the duos 'To The Limit' and Just one more'. More recently, he played in the blues rock band Traveler, in addition to performing the Black Lace Show.

In 2007, Michael started performing again as Black Lace (in contradiction to an agreement with Gibb and record company/management NOW Music, stating he would never use the title 'Black Lace') alongside a new addition, the Liverpudlian singer Ian Robinson. They released a new mambo version of "Agadoo". In the accompanying video, Bruce Jones played a cameo role and directed the event. Roy "Chubby" Brown and Kevin Kennedy also made cameo appearances in the video, as did several members of the cast of the ITV situation comedy Benidorm. On 4 November 2009, the 'new' incarnation of Black Lace was filmed by the British airline easyJet, performing a re-written version of "Agadoo" for release on the video-sharing website YouTube, launching a new air service between Gatwick Airport and Agadir in Morocco. Dobson's book, And Then Came Agadoo, was published by Authorhouse in November 2009.

Michael and Robinson recorded a new version of "I Am The Music Man" for the BBC Children in Need appeal in 2009. In 2010, they recorded yet another version of "I Am The Music Man", this time entitled "We Are The England Fans", as an unofficial England supporters' song to coincide with the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which also included the future Black Lace member Craig Harper. In 2011, Michael and Robinson recorded a television advertisement for Thetrainline.com which led to a new recording of "Do The Conga". In December that year, Michael teamed up with Crissy Rock and recorded a Christmas single called "Christmas Time" and an accompanying video. In 2012, Michael recorded two solo records, Life Force and The First Christmas Light.

In 2014, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of "Agadoo", a limited edition Black Lace Live album was released, which was recorded and mixed in Tenerife.

On 24 January 2015, Dene Michael auditioned for the reality TV show The Voice, where he sang George Benson's "Never Give Up on a Good Thing". He was asked back by the show's producers to perform "Agadoo" but failed to pass the 'blind' audition.

In 2015, a television advertisement for Walkers crisps was shown on British TV, featuring Michael and Robinson (under the name 'Old Lace') performing alongside Gary Lineker singing along to "Agadoo".

In 2016 Gibb, celebrating 40 years since Black Lace was formed, teamed up with guitarist and vocalist Gordon King for live shows, keeping the style and tradition of the original format: loud guitars, even louder shirts, cheesy dance routines and that 'tongue in cheek' and sometimes 'risky' comedy.

In 2016, Dene Michael was charged with fraud and jailed for six months for claiming £25,000 in disability allowances.

In 2018, Dene Michael teamed up with Craig Harper (runner up of series two of Britain's Got Talent back in 2008) to form the new look group 'Black Lace'. They play many of the mainstream 80's festivals and can be seen regularly performing at Butlins 80's weekenders, Pontins 48-hour party weekenders, and Lets Rock 80's retro festival.

Black Lace (Gibb and King) are nominated for the 'Tenerife Entertainment Awards-Best Group.

In 2019 Black Lace (Gibb and King) became associated with UK dressage team "The Agadoo Girls", consisting of 7 members with Gibb's cousin, Debbie Cox, as team captain. They came top at their debut Team Quest competition at Richmond Equestrian Centre in June.

The 'original Black Lace' (Gibb/King) conclude 2019 having performed 278 shows in 221 days.

In popular culture
The group were famously lampooned in the UK No. 1 chart single "The Chicken Song", recorded as part of the Spitting Image programme. A parody of Black Lace's style, it contained a specific reference to the band with the line "those two wet gits with their girly curly hair".

Black Lace (Barton and Gibb) have also been voted in the top five all time 'Best Party' songs, 'Best Holiday' songs, and 'Worst Records of all time'

Both Gibb and the late Alan Barton's estate are still owed royalties, with regard to many 'licensed' albums released by independent record companies around the world, and to date, have not received any royalty payments, for repeated BBC 'Top of the Pops/Top of the Pops 2' appearances, of which there have been several hundred, dating back to the mid 1990's

Club Atlético Tigre

Club Atlético Tigre () is an Argentine sports club from Victoria, Buenos Aires. The club is mostly known for its football team, which plays in Argentine Primera B Nacional.

History
The club was founded on 3 August 1902 in the city of Tigre. The team debuted at Argentine Primera División in 1915, playing its first match against Argentino de Quilmes, losing by 3–1. Tigre finally finished 18th of 25 teams.

Tigre would last in Primera División during all the amateur era. When football became professional in Argentina many teams were relegated but Tigre remained in the top division. The squad's first professional match was on 31 May 1931, playing against San Lorenzo de Almagro in the Viejo Gasómetro stadium. The first win came in the 3rd fixture when Tigre defeated Racing Club by 1–0.

The 14th fixture (played on August, 30) was the debut of legendary striker Bernabé Ferreyra, which scored all the goals in the 4–1 victory over Quilmes. Ferreyra soon became an outstanding scorer playing for Tigre (before being traded to River Plate).

In 1935 Tigre began to build its stadium in Victoria and that same year the team was relegated to the second division (then named "Segunda de Ascenso") along with Quilmes, returning the next year to the first division. That year Tigre also opened its stadium in Victoria.

In 1937 Juan Marvezzi (Tigre's all-time top scorer) arrived to the club. He would score 116 goals over 173 matches between 1937 and 1943.

In 1945 Tigre won the second division championship (Segunda Division). They won the tournament again in 1953, although by then it was known as Primera B.

After some seasons alternating promotions and relegations to the second division, in 1970 Tigre was relegated to Primera C Metropolitana, the third division of the Argentine football league system, returning to Primera B two years after, with a record of 21 matches without receiving any goal. Goalkeeper Pepe achieved a record of 906 minutes unbeaten.

In 1979 Tigre returned to Primera División, with Juan Carlos Lorenzo as the sports director.

In 1986 the Argentine league system is restructured and Tigre got a place in the Primera B Nacional which became the second division of Argentine football. Five years later Tigre was relegated to Primera B Metropolitana (now the third division), returning to Nacional B in 1995 defeating Argentino de Rosario 2–1 in the third match (after two tied games).

Tigre won the 2004 Primera B Metropolitana Apertura defeating Platense 2–0 in Vicente López Partido. During that season, a goalkeeper (Cristian Campestrini) scored a goal for Tigre for the first time in club's history, during a match against Ferro Carril Oeste.

Tigre also won the next tournament (2005 Clausura) proclaiming bi-champion and promoting directly to Primera B Nacional.

At the end of 2006 Diego Cagna was hired as coach replacing Caruso Lombardi (who had left to coach Argentinos Juniors, recommended by Diego Maradona), being his first experience as coach in first division. With Cagna on the bench, Tigre remained 13 consecutive matches unbeaten during the Clausura tournament. In the 2005 Apertura the team finished 3rd. In the 2007 Clausura Tigre qualified to play the "Torneo Reducido", which won, giving it the chance to play with a team of Primera División (Nueva Chicago) in order to dispute a vacant place at the top level of Argentine football.

Tigre defeated Nueva Chicago 1–0 and 2–1, returning to Primera after 27 years. Some of its most relevant players were goalkeeper Daniel Islas, Alexis Ferrero, Diego Castaño and Leandro Lázzaro. During the second final game, hundreds of Chicago's hooligans jumped into the field without being stopped by the police (although there were 200 police man in the stadium), taking off the uniforms to players and then attacking Tigre's supporters which were peacefully celebrating their return to Primera División. The violent acts continued outside the stadium, where the hooligans of both teams clashed and a fan of Tigre, Marcelo Cejas, was killed.

Tigre disputed the 2007 Apertura achieving some resounding results such as the 4–1 victory over River Plate apart from the wins over Racing (3–2) and Boca Juniors (2–1). At the end of the tournament, Tigre finished 2nd (Lanús was the champion), which was club's best campaign ever in the top category.

In 2008 Apertura Tigre made the best campaign of its history, sharing the 1st place with Boca Juniors and San Lorenzo with 39 points at the end of the season. Therefore, those teams had to play a mini-tournament in order to proclaim a champion, which would finally be Boca Juniors. Although Tigre defeated Boca 1–0, the Xeneize won the title due to its best goal average. During the regular season, Tigre achieved some highlights, beating all the most popular teams: Boca Juniors (3–2), River Plate (3–1), Independiente (1–0), San Lorenzo (1–0), Huracán (3–0), and former champion Lanús (3–0).

In 2009 Tigre made its first appearances in an international club competition playing two games in Copa Sudamericana 2009, having been defeated by San Lorenzo in the first round due to the away goals rule.

In 2012 Tigre reached the final of the 2012 Copa Sudamericana, and faced São Paulo. The match, however, went unfinished, due to Tigre (who were at a 0–2 deficit by the end of the first half in the second leg) refusing to return for the second half as they claimed of security problems at halftime. Therefore, São Paulo were declared champions.

Kit evolution and rare models
The first jersey worn by Tigre was blue with white collar.

Between 1911 and 1919, Tigre began to wear a red and blue vertical stripes jersey (similar to San Lorenzo's and used in seen in the pictures of the 1945 and 1953 champion teams). Tigre would wear this pattern in 1945, when winning the Primera B title promoting to Primera División.

Other models were a blue jersey with a red "T" on the chest (worn during Tigre's run on Primera División in 1980), and the blue with red sleeves (used for just one match in 1979).

Stadium

Their home stadium is the Estadio José Dellagiovanna.

Annie Dorsen

Annie Dorsen (born 1973) is a New York theater director. She is the co-creator and director of the Broadway musical Passing Strange, and her work in "algorithmic theater" includes the plays Hello Hi There, A Piece of Work, and Yesterday Tomorrow. Dorsen has received an Alpert Award in the Arts, a Guggenheim Fellowship and a MacArthur Fellowship.

Early life and education
Dorsen was born in 1973 in New York City to Harriette and Norman Dorsen. She has two sisters. She graduated with a BA degree from Yale University in 1996, and received an MFA degree from Yale School of Drama in 2000.

Career
In collaboration with Heidi Rodewald and Stew, Dorsen created and directed the rock musical Passing Strange, a semi-fictional story about Stew's life that was co-commissioned by Berkeley Repertory Theatre and The Public Theater. The show opened Off-Broadway at The Public Theater in 2007, and had its Broadway premiere at the Belasco Theatre in 2008. While Passing Strange was running on Broadway, Dorsen also created Democracy in America, an Off-Broadway satire of American politics and polling, in which anyone could pay a fee to add their own material to the script being performed.

Dorsen has collaborated with computer programmers to produce "algorithmic theater" in which custom algorithms process source material to generate live scripts and scores that are performed by chatbots and human actors.
Her first piece of "algorithmic theater" was Hello Hi There, in which chatbots use text from the Chomsky–Foucault debate, the works of William Shakespeare, the Bible, and YouTube comments to create unique dialogue for each performance. In the five-act play A Piece of Work, chatbots and a human actor perform a script created in real-time by processing the text of Hamlet. Yesterday Tomorrow, the final piece in Dorsen's trilogy of algorithmic performances, uses custom algorithms to produce a live score, performed by three singers, that transitions from the Beatles song "Yesterday" to the song "Tomorrow" from the musical Annie.

In 2017, Dorsen received a grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts to support her play The Great Outdoors, in which audience members lie down inside an inflatable planetarium and listen to a human performer read recent Internet comments selected and processed by an algorithm. A year later, Dorsen received the Spalding Gray Award, which provided funds to produce her play The Slow Room. The play, a human performance of a fixed script assembled from virtual sex chat room messages, premiered later that year at Performance Space New York.

Recognition
Dorsen received one of the 2014 Alpert Awards in the Arts, which recognize the work of experimental artists by providing a US$75,000 prize to each recipient. In 2018, she received a Guggenheim Fellowship. The following year she received a MacArthur Fellowship. She was one of six MacArthur fellows from New York City.

In a 2010 poll of American political theorists, Dryzek was listed in the top 20 ‘scholars doing excellent work today whose work will be influential during the next 20 years’, and was the most highly ranked scholar based outside North America.

In 2014, Dryzek was awarded the Australian Research Council Laureate Fellowship for the project Deliberative worlds: democracy, justice and a changing world.

Working in both political theory and empirical social science, Dryzek is best known for his contributions in the areas of democratic theory and practice and environmental politics. One of the instigators of the 'deliberative turn' in democratic theory, he has published numerous books in this area with Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, and Polity Press. His work in environmental politics ranges from green political philosophy to studies of environmental discourses and movements to global climate governance, and he has published five books in this area with Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, and Basil Blackwell.

Dryzek has also worked on comparative studies of democratization, post-positivist public policy analysis, and the history and philosophy of social science. His current research emphasizes global justice, governance in the Anthropocene (where human activity is understood as a major environmental factor), and cultural variety in deliberative practice.

Dryzek has also been influential in the related fields of international relations and international political theory. He was an early proponent of global democracy, helping to develop the concept and illustrating why the exercise of power beyond the nation-state requires democratization. Drawing on his work in deliberative (or discursive) democracy, Dryzek has depicted how contending discourses operate in world politics and the space this opens for reflexivity and democratization. Also in line with previous work, Dryzek has highlighted how highly complex issue areas - notably climate governance - can be democratized through deliberation and public reason. Drawing from his work on deliberation and public reason, Dryzek has argued that many critiques of deliberative democracy can be addressed through greater discursive representation. More generally, Dryzek has undertaken discipline-leading work on global civil society, non-state actors, and representation in world politics.
