Balvano Train Disaster
The Balvano train disaster was the deadliest railway accident in Italian history and one of the worst railway disasters ever. It occurred on the night between 2–3 March 1944 in Balvano, Basilicata. Over 500 people in a steam-hauled, coal-burning freight train (mostly stowaways) died of carbon monoxide poisoning during a protracted stall in a tunnel. Circumstances In 1943, Axis Italy was invaded by British and American armed forces, and the southern part of the peninsula (almost fully conquered by Allied forces) suffered severe wartime shortages, encouraging an extensive black market. People in large cities like Naples began bartering fresh produce for commodities brought by servicemen, and stowed away on freight trains to reach their suppliers' farms. The railway companies also suffered shortages of good-quality coal. The burning of low-grade substitutes developed a reduced power output and produced a large volume of carbon monoxide, an odorless and poisonous gas, a particula ...

Los Angeles Times
The ''Los Angeles Times'' (abbreviated as ''LA Times'') is a daily newspaper that started publishing in Los Angeles in 1881.

In recent decades the paper's readership has declined, and it has been beset by a series of ownership changes, staff reductions, and other controversies.

AllMusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Salivation(album)
''Salivation'' is an album by the American musician and artist Terry Allen. It was released in 1999 on Sugar Hill Records. The album's title is a play on the word salvation, and contains an image of a smiling Jesus Christ on the cover. Production The album was recorded at Cedar Creek Studios, in Austin, Texas. Critical reception The ''Dallas Observer'' wrote: "A seamless commentary on hypocrisy, spirituality, society, family, and individuality, ''Salivation'' is neither heavy nor light." ''Style Weekly'' thought that Allen "mixes Texas folk and rock, Middle Eastern textures, hoe-down swing and plaintive ballads into a fine set of tunes for those looking for the left-of-center." ''The Independent'' noted that "to a tuba-bass cakewalk reminiscent of Ry Cooder, 'Southern Comfort' offers a reminder, Southern state by Southern state, of racist dues to be paid come Judgement Day." AllMusic wrote that "between note one and the dying echo, the record stomps, smokes, snorts, and acts ge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
