V (Legião Urbana Album)
''V'' is the fifth studio album by the Brazilian rock band Legião Urbana, released in December 15, 1991. The album was released amid the Plano Collor economic crisis and an alcoholism peak of vocalist, acoustic guitarist and leader Renato Russo, who had also just discovered to be HIV-positive - a condition he kept as a secret from most people back then. It sold around 465,000 copies. Background The album was released as then Brazilian president Fernando Collor was implementing the measures of his Plano Collor, which limited citizens' financial power. The band was still touring for their previous album, ''As Quatro Estações'', and the shows became even more important in order to allow them to retrieve the money they lost. Meanwhile, Russo went to rehab, concerned with the example he was setting to his son Giuliano, born in 1989. There, he discovered he had the HIV virus. That prompted him to meet with the band's manager Rafael Borges and ask him to arrange everything after his ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Paper Embossing
Embossing and debossing are the processes of creating either raised or recessed relief images and designs in paper and other materials. An embossed pattern is raised against the background, while a debossed pattern is sunken into the surface of the material but might protrude somewhat on the reverse side. Techniques Often used in combination with foil stamping, embossing alters the surface of paper stock or other substrates by providing a three-dimensional or raised effect on selected areas. The procedure requires the use of two dies: one that is raised and one that is recessed. The dies fit into each other so that when the paper is pressed between them, the raised die forces the stock into the recessed die and creates the embossed impression. A specific level of pressure is applied to the dies in order to squeeze the fibers of the paper, which results in a permanently raised area in the paper. When the dies are produced, a die maker engraves the desired image into several me ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Guillaume De Machaut
Guillaume de Machaut (, ; also Machau and Machault; – April 1377) was a French composer and poet who was the central figure of the style in late medieval music. His dominance of the genre is such that modern musicologists use his death to separate the from the subsequent movement. Regarded as the most significant French composer and poet of the 14th century, he is often seen as the century's leading European composer. One of the earliest European composers on whom considerable biographical information is available, Machaut has an unprecedented amount of surviving music, in part due to his own involvement in his manuscripts' creation and preservation. Machaut embodies the culmination of the poet-composer tradition stretching back to the traditions of troubadour and ''trouvère''; well into the 15th century his poetry was greatly admired and imitated by other poets, including Geoffrey Chaucer and Eustache Deschamps, the latter of whom was Machaut's student. Machaut compos ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nuno Fernandes Torneol
Nuno Fernandes Torneol was a Galician-Portuguese trovador. He probably worked in the middle of the thirteenth century at the courts of Ferdinand III and Alfonso X of Castile. In "De longas vias, mui longas mentiras", the only '' cantiga de escárnio'' that he wrote, he mentions many Castilian place names. He is the also the author of the only known '' alborada'' (dawn song) in the Galician-Portuguese tradition: "Levad', amigo, que dormides as manhanas frías". Nuno's name has been the subject of much speculation. In 1994 António Resende de Oliveira suggested that "Torneol" might not be a part of his name, but a note added by the 16th-century editor of the ''Cancioneiro da Biblioteca Nacional'', Angelo Colocci, indicating the refrain (''tornel'') to be used in the following songs. In 1997, however, Vicenç Beltran discovered a reference in a document of 1244 to one João Fernandes Torniol who owned a vineyard in Córdoba. This may have been the trovador's brother.
