neg: New Orleans soul New Orleans soul is a musical style derived from the soul music which has a large influence of the Gospel ( music ) . New Orleans soul has ingredients of pop music and soul and is influenced by boogie-woogie style . The songs always are accompanied by a piano and a saxophone . Guitars are rare in this genre . It was popularized in the postwar era in the town of Crescent .   This genus stands out in its use of simple pop structures and Rock rhythms that have become very influenced by the `` second line '' and `` parade '' hits common to the city . The Caribbean music and Latin music from the 60 , that earned a great importance in the city , also inspired to this genre of Soul to develop more exotic rhythms . Are also normal midtempo rhythms . The musicians give more importance to the music and sound that to the letter , which sometimes makes no sense . The choir is always feminine , with the participation of one or two women in it .

neg: Horn section A horn section is a group of musicians playing horns . In an orchestra or concert band , it refers to the musicians who play the `` French '' horn , and in a British-style brass band it is the tenor horn players . In many popular-music genres the term is applied loosely to any group of woodwind or brass instruments , or a combination of woodwinds and brass .

neg: Alfaia The alfaia is a Brazilian membranophone . It is a wooden drum made of animal skin tensioned or loosened through ropes placed alongside the body of the instrument .   Alfaias are usually between 16 and 22 inches in diameter . Their construction is similar to 19th-century U.S. and European military or field drums , bombos , and other Latin American wooden bass drums . Their drumheads are clamped to the body with large wooden hoops , and they are played with distinctly shaped fat wooden drumsticks . Sometimes the stick in the dominant hand is a little larger than the one used in the weaker hand .   Traditionally strapped over the shoulder , alfaias are played with a distinctive technique , and players hold the weak-hand drumstick inverted to get the proper attack on the head . Alfaias are also known as `` Rope-surdos '' or `` Maracatu-drums '' , and the largest ones are called `` Alfaia-marcante '' . The medium-sized drums are called `` Alfaia-meião '' . The alfaia has a characteristic deep , heavy sound , different from other bass drums such as the surdo or kick-drum , and they are used mainly in the northeastern folk rhythms and dances of Brazil , such as Maracatu , Ciranda and Coco-de-roda .

neg: Characteristics of progressive rock Progressive rock is a term that refers to a musical style . The term was originally referred to as `` classical rock '' ( in which a band performed together with an orchestra ) , but the term 's use has expanded in recent years to include other fusions of music styles including jazz fusion , metal and folk rock musics . The term does not refer to one particular music style but to an approach that combines elements of diverse styles . Jerry Ewing , editor of Prog Magazine , explains that `` Prog is not just a sound , it 's a mindset . '' Dream Theater guitarist John Petrucci outlines that Progressive rock is defined by its very lack of stylistic boundaries . The advent of the concept album , plus the genre 's roots in psychedelia , led albums and performances to be viewed as combined presentations of music , lyrics , and visuals .   Bands abandoned the short pop single in favor of instrumentation and compositional techniques more frequently associated with jazz or classical music as part of an effort to give rock music the same level of musical sophistication and critical respect . Progressive rock abandons the danceable beat that defines earlier rock styles and is more likely than other types of popular music to experiment with compositional structure , instrumentation , harmony and rhythm , or lyrical content . It may demand more effort on the part of the listener than other types of music .   Musicians in progressive rock typically display a high degree of instrumental skill , although this is not always the case . Virtuoso instrumental skills are so closely associated with progressive rock that authors such as Bill Martin consider it as a defining element and exclude bands such as Pink Floyd from consideration . It is not uncommon for musicians to have received a higher-than-average level of formal training . Players from the genre frequently appear in readers ' polls of publications that cater to musicians .

neg: The Mins The Mins is a Georgian Alternative / New Progressive Rock band established in 2011 by Zviad Mgebrishvili . The band played its first live gig in 2011 on Altervision Newcomers .

neg: Rehearsal A rehearsal is an activity in the performing arts that occurs as preparation for a performance in music , theatre , dance and related arts , such as opera , musical theatre and film production . It is undertaken as a form of practising , to ensure that all details of the subsequent performance are adequately prepared and coordinated . The term `` rehearsal '' typically refers to ensemble activities undertaken by a group of people . For example , when a musician is preparing a piano concerto alone in their music studio , this is called `` practicing '' , but when they begin to practice the concerto with an orchestra , this activity is called a `` rehearsal '' . The music rehearsal takes place in a music rehearsal space .   A rehearsal may involve as few as two people , as with a small play for two actors , an art song performance by a singer and a pianist or a folk music duo of a singer and a guitar player . On the other end of the spectrum , a rehearsal can be held for a very large orchestra with over 100 performers and a choir . A rehearsal can involve only performers of one type , as in an a cappella choir show , in which a group of singers perform without instrumental accompaniment or a play involving only theatre actors ; it can involve performers of different instruments , as with an orchestra , rock band or jazz `` big band '' ; vocal and instrumental performers , as with opera and choral works accompanied by orchestra ; or a mix of actors , vocalists , instrumentalists and dancers , as with musical theatre .   Rehearsals of small groups of performers , such as small rock bands , jazz quartets or organ trios may be held without a leader ; in these cases , the performers themselves jointly determine how to run the rehearsal , which songs to practice , and so on . Some small groups may have their rehearsals led by a bandleader . Almost all mid - to large group performances have a person who leads the rehearsals ; this person may be a bandleader in a rock , country or jazz setting ; a conductor in classical music ( including in opera ) ; a director in theatre or musical theatre ; or a film director for movie rehearsals .   While the term is most commonly used in the performing arts to refer to preparation for a public presentation or show , the term is also used to refer to the preparation for other anticipated activities , such as wedding guests and couples practicing a wedding ceremony , paramedics practicing responding to a simulated emergency , or army troops practicing for an attack using a mock-up of the building they will be assaulting .

neg: The Section (band) The Section are a US instrumental rock band formed in the early 1970s by musicians Danny Kortchmar , Craig Doerge , Leland Sklar , and Russ Kunkel . They are best known for both studio and stage work in support of some of the best selling solo singers of that decade . Their frequent appearances on the records of artists signed to Asylum Records made them the label 's de facto house band . Their close association with the singer-songwriter and soft rock genres of the 1970s also led to their alternate moniker of `` The Mellow Mafia . ''   They appeared together and individually on albums by Linda Ronstadt , Crosby & Nash , James Taylor , Carole King , Jackson Browne , Warren Zevon , and acted as back-up band on their tours . Other musicians closely associated with The Section include guitarist Waddy Wachtel , bassist Tim Drummond and multi-instrumentalist David Lindley .   By the 1980s , the group stopped working together collectively , though as individuals they continued to play prominent roles in the studio and on tour with many of the most popular solo acts of the decade , including Phil Collins ( who collaborated with Sklar frequently starting with 1985 's No Jacket Required album and subsequent tour ) , Stevie Nicks ( whose landmark Bella Donna album features guitar work from Wachtel , who continues to work with her as her musical director ) , and Don Henley ( who used Kortchmar 's skills on numerous instruments on his Building the Perfect Beast album ) .   Beside their supporting work for other musicians , The Section also released three albums of their own , consisting of mostly instrumental music .

neg: Dub music Dub is a genre of music that grew out of reggae in the 1960s , and is commonly considered a subgenre , though it has developed to extend beyond the scope of reggae . Music in this genre consists predominantly of instrumental remixes of existing recordings and is achieved by significantly manipulating and reshaping the recordings , usually by removing the vocals from an existing music piece , and emphasizing the drum and bass parts ( this stripped-down track is sometimes referred to as a riddim ) . Other techniques include dynamically adding extensive echo , reverb , panoramic delay , and occasional dubbing of vocal or instrumental snippets from the original version or other works . It was an early form of popular electronic music .   Dub was pioneered by Osbourne `` King Tubby '' Ruddock , Lee `` Scratch '' Perry , Errol Thompson and others in the late 1960s . Augustus Pablo is credited with bringing the melodica to dub , and is also among the pioneers and creators of the genre . Similar experiments with recordings at the mixing desk outside of the dancehall environment were also done by producers Clive Chin and Herman Chin Loy . These producers , especially Ruddock and Perry , looked upon the mixing console as an instrument , manipulating tracks to come up with something new and different .  Dub has influenced many genres of music , including rock ( most significantly the subgenre of post-punk and other kinds of punk ) , pop , hip hop , disco , and later house , techno , ambient , electronic dance music , and trip hop . Dub has become a basis for the genres of jungle and drum and bass Traditional dub has survived , and some of the originators , such as Lee `` Scratch '' Perry and Mad Professor , continue to produce new material .

neg: Rhythm band The rhythm band is one of the primary methods of introducing children to playing music . Children are given maracas , tambourines , bells , rhythm sticks and other idiophones with which to beat out a simple rhythm while the teacher plays a song , usually on the piano . Alternatively , the teacher does not play a melody but also a rhythm instrument , so that only rhythms are played . Children can also make a rhythm band `` just for fun '' for themselves , without a teacher .   If the participants like very loud music , noisemakers like the pea whistle , the recorder head joint , the vuvuzela or the ratchet can be included into the rhythm band , as well as other very loud rhythm instruments like the snare drum .   Rhythm bands are usually found in nursery schools or kindergartens , but of course children also can make a rhythm band at home . Melodic instruments are introduced to the children in the first or second year of regular school . But in principle , a rhythm band can be made in every age , with more difficult rhrythms if the participants are older .   It is not uncommon for adult musical organizations to employ numerous rhythm players , as in Latin American music , or to distribute rhythm instruments for audience members to accompany a live performance .

neg: Les Tambours du Bronx Les Tambours du Bronx ( `` the Drums of the Bronx '' ) is a French industrial percussion band created in 1987 .   Les Tambours du Bronx has 17 musicians on stage surrounded by synthetic sounds , samples , and singing , all in time with the powerful rhythm . It built its reputation reviving drums from rough energetic music ; a mixture of industrial music , afrobeat , drum 'n' bass , hip-hop , rock , metal , hardcore and techno .

neg: Andante, Andante `` Andante , Andante '' was a song recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA , released in only two countries : El Salvador and Argentina . It was written by Benny and Björn on April 9 , 1980 , at Polar Music studios . At the beginning , this song was called `` Hold Me Close '' . Anni-Frid Lyngstad handles the lead vocals .   The lyrics were translated into Spanish by Buddy and Mary McCluskey and recorded in October 1980 at Polar Music studios , see abbaomnibus.net . This song was released for the first time in the album Super Trouper - Latin America version as track number 4 and it was reused in the album ABBA Oro as track number 12 .   Abba - Uncensored on the Record explains `` Andante Andante is a love song , and the repeated musical term of the title means gently , slowly or at a walking pace in Italian . ''   This song was never released as a single ( only in the B side of `` Happy New Year '' in Portugal ) .   Because the song was released as a single in only two countries , it never achieved success and never appeared in the global charts .   Though the theme seems at first to be a treatise in love making : `` Make your fingers soft and light /  Let your body be the velvet of the night '' , the sensual nature of the song is somewhat mitigated in the refrain as it becomes an invocation of the muse : `` I am your music and I am your song/Play me time and time again and make me strong '' . Augmentation is used in the refrain with the melody sung at half the tempo of the backing tracks , both singing the same lyrics .   The Abba tribute choir `` Andante Andante '' takes its name from this song .   The Herald describes Andante , Andante as having an `` Italian '' flavour .

neg: Septet A septet is a formation containing exactly seven members . It is commonly associated with musical groups , but can be applied to any situation where seven similar or related objects are considered a single unit , such as a seven-line stanza of poetry .   In jazz music a septet is any group of seven players , usually containing a drum set , string bass or electric bass , and groups of one or two of the following instruments , guitar , piano , trumpet , saxophone , clarinet , or trombone .   One of the most famous classical septets is the Septet in E-flat major , Op. 20 , by Ludwig van Beethoven , composed around 1799 -- 1800 , for clarinet , bassoon , horn , violin , viola , cello , and double bass . The popularity of Beethoven 's septet made its combination of instruments a standard for subsequent composers , including Conradin Kreutzer ( Op. 62 , 1822 ) , Franz Berwald , and Adolphe Blanc ( Op. 40 , ca. 1864 ) , and , with small changes in the instrumentation , Franz Lachner ( 1824 ) , and Max Bruch ( 1849 ) . When Franz Schubert added a second violin in 1824 for his Octet , he created a standard octet that influenced many other subsequent composers . The Septet in E-flat major , Op. 65 , for trumpet , piano , string quartet , and double bass by Camille Saint-Saëns from 1881 is one of that composer 's works . The modern composer Bohuslav Martinů wrote three septets : a group of six dances called Les Rondes for oboe , clarinet , bassoon , trumpet , two violins , and piano ( 1930 ) ; a piece called Serenade No. 3 for oboe , clarinet , four violins , and cello ( 1932 ) ; and a Fantasie for theremin , oboe , piano , and string quartet ( 1944 ) . Darius Milhaud composed a String Septet in 1964 for string sextet and double bass . Paul Hindemith composed a wind septet in 1948 for flute , oboe , clarinet , bass clarinet , bassoon , horn , and trumpet . Hanns Eisler composed two septets , both scored for flute , clarinet , bassoon , and string quartet : Septet No. 1 Op. 92a ( `` Variations on American Children 's Songs '' ) ( 1941 ) , and Septet No. 2 ( `` Circus '' ) ( 1947 ) , after Chaplin 's 1928 movie The Circus . Two component works in the series of Chôros by the Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos are scored for seven instruments : No. 3 ( 1925 ) , subtitled `` Pica-páo '' ( Woodpecker ) , is for clarinet , bassoon , saxophone , 3 horns , and trombone ( or for male chorus , or for both together ) , and No. 7 ( 1924 ) , actually subtitled `` Septet '' , is for flute , oboe , clarinet , saxophone , bassoon , violin , and cello ( with tam-tam ad lib . ) .   There are many 20th-century works for seven instruments for which it is uncertain whether the term `` septet '' should be used , since they may not obviously be chamber music or have titles indicating otherwise . Examples include Maurice Ravel 's Introduction and Allegro ( 1905 ) , Rudi Stephan 's Music for Seven String Instruments ( 1911 ) , Leoš Janáček 's Concertino ( 1925 ) , Arnold Schoenberg 's Suite , Op. 29 ( 1925 -- 26 ) , Isang Yun 's Music for Seven Instruments ( 1959 ) , Aribert Reimann 's Reflexionen ( 1966 ) , and Dieter Schnebel 's In motu proprio canon for seven instruments of the same kind ( 1975 ) .

neg: Concertato Concertato is a term in early Baroque music referring to either a genre or a style of music in which groups of instruments or voices share a melody , usually in alternation , and almost always over a basso continuo . The term derives from Italian concerto which means `` playing together '' -- hence concertato means `` in the style of a concerto . '' In contemporary usage , the term is almost always used as an adjective , for example `` three pieces from the set are in concertato style . ''   A somewhat oversimplified , but useful distinction between concertato and concerto can be made : the concertato style involves contrast between opposing groups of voices and groups of instruments : the concerto style , especially as it developed into the concerto grosso later in the Baroque , involves contrast between large and small groups of similar composition ( later called `` ripieno '' and `` concertino '' ) .   The style developed in Venice in the late 16th century , mainly through the work of Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli , who were working in the unique acoustical space of St. Mark 's Cathedral . Different choirs or instrumental groupings occupied positions across the cathedral from each other : because of the sound delay from one side to the other in the large and acoustically `` live '' space , a perfect unison was difficult , and composers found that a fantastically effective music could be composed with the choirs singing across to each other , in stereo as it were ; all accompanied by organ or other groups of instruments placed in such a way that they could hear each group equally well . Music written there was quickly performed elsewhere , and compositions in the new `` concertato '' style quickly became popular elsewhere in Europe ( first in northern Italy , then in Germany and the rest of Italy , and then gradually in other parts of the continent ) . Another term sometimes used for this antiphonal use of the choirs in St. Mark 's was cori spezzati . See also Venetian polychoral style and Venetian School .   In the early 17th century , almost all music with voices and basso continuo was called a concerto , though this use of the term is considerably different from the more modern meaning ( a solo instrument or instruments accompanied by an orchestra ) . Often , sacred music in the concertato style in the early 17th century was descended from the motet : the texts that a hundred years earlier would have been set for a cappella voices singing in smooth polyphony , would now be set for voices and instruments in a concertato style . These pieces , no longer always called motets , were given a variety of names including concerto , Psalm ( if a psalm setting ) , sinfonia , or symphoniae ( for example in Heinrich Schütz 's collections of Symphoniae Sacrae ) .   The concertato style made possible the composition of extremely dramatic music , one of the characteristic innovations of the early Baroque .

neg: The Miami Horns The Miami Horns are an American horn section best known for touring and recording with Southside Johnny , Bruce Springsteen , Little Steven and The Max Weinberg 7 . They have also toured , performed or recorded with , among others , Diana Ross , Gary U.S. Bonds , Robert Cray , Bon Jovi , Cissy Houston , Joe Cocker , Dave Edmunds , Darlene Love , The Allman Brothers Band , Eric Clapton , Sheryl Crow and Ricky Martin . As individuals , the various members have also worked with the likes of Aerosmith , David Bowie , Duran Duran , Power Station , Graham Parker and They Might Be Giants .   The Miami Horns were first put together in 1976 by Steve Van Zandt as part of Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes . The connection with the city of Miami is only tenuous . Van Zandt had acquired the nickname Miami , due to his dislike of winter , and consequently the horn section also became known by that name . On occasions they have also been billed as The Jukes ' Horns , La Bamba 's Mambomen , The U.S. Horns , The J.A.M. Horns , The Tunnel Of Love Horns , The Horns of Love and The Late Night Horns . The line-up is very much impromptu and seems to depend on who is available at the time . As a consequence it has varied in size from a duo to a big band . Not unlike The Drifters , many performers have come and gone , and even returned . However Richie `` La Bamba '' Rosenberg ( trombone ) , Mark Pender ( trumpet ) and Eddie Manion ( saxophone ) have been the most consistent members . Other notable players have included Stan Harrison , Chris Anderson , Joey Stann and Mario Cruz . In 1991 Rosenberg , Pender , Manion and Harrison recorded an eponymous album as La Bamba & The Hubcaps .

neg: Synchronisms (Davidovsky) Synchronisms is a series of twelve musical compositions for solo or ensemble live instruments and pre-recorded tape composed by Mario Davidovsky at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center , the first dating from 1963 . Davidovsky explains that , `` One of the central ideas of these pieces is the search to find ways of embedding both the acoustic and the electronic into a single , coherent musical and aesthetic space . ''   The series , `` is characterized by the interaction of virtuoso musicians with a counterpoint of electronically generated sounds covering a broad tonal and timbral spectrum . '' Davidovsky describes the goals of his series : `` In those works , I try to keep , on the one hand , as much as possible of what is characteristic of the electronic instrument -LSB- medium -RSB- , and , on the other , what is characteristic of the live performer . At the same time , each extends the other . '' In the series Davidovsky attempts , `` exact coordination only in short passages of intricate counterpoint ; elsewhere , in more extended passages in which one component clearly accompanied the other , ` an element of chance -LSB- `` leeway in the synchronization '' -RSB- is introduced ' '' .   The works are as follows :   Flute ( 1963 )  Flute , clarinet , violin , cello ( 1963 )  Cello ( 1964 )  Chorus ( 1967 )  Percussion quintet ( 1969 )  Piano ( 1970 )  Orchestra ( 1973 )  Wind quintet ( 1974 )  Violin ( 1988 )  Guitar ( 1992 )  Bass ( 2005 )  Clarinet ( 2006 )

Many of the songs evolved considerably during the tour , including `` Innocence '' which was re-done so as to incorporate brass elements . Live performances of the track `` Declare Independence '' made heavy use of the ReacTable , an electro-acoustic music instrument with a tabletop Tangible User Interface , which is played by Damian Taylor . The Tenori-on was used heavily in performances of `` Who Is It '' . A live DVD and CD of the Volta tour was released as part of Voltaïc . The tour was Björk 's first in four years and saw her play countries that she had not played in over ten years .


query: Lindsay Lohan was involved with a movie remake.

pos: Lindsay Lohan Lindsay Dee Lohan ( born July 2 , 1986 ) is an American actress and singer . Lohan began her career as a child fashion model when she was three , and was later featured on the soap opera Another World for a year when she was 10 . At age 11 , Lohan made her motion picture debut in Disney 's commercially and critically successful 1998 remake of The Parent Trap . Her next major motion picture , Disney 's 2003 remake of Freaky Friday , was also a critical and commercial success . With the release of Mean Girls ( 2004 ) , another critical and commercial success , and Disney 's Herbie : Fully Loaded ( 2005 ) , another commercial success , Lohan became a teen idol sensation , a household name and a frequent focus of paparazzi and tabloids . However , Lohan 's next starring role in the romantic comedy Just My Luck ( 2006 ) , received poor reviews and was only a modest commercial success . Following Just My Luck , Lohan focused on smaller , more mature roles in independent movies , receiving positive comments on her work , including A Prairie Home Companion ( 2006 ) , Bobby ( 2006 ) and Chapter 27 ( 2007 ) .   After recording several songs for her movie soundtracks , Lohan signed with Casablanca Records . Lohan 's debut studio album , titled Speak , was released in December 2004 and became the first high-seller from Casablanca in several years , selling 1 million copies in the United States alone and peaking at number four on the Billboard 200 . Though the album received mostly lukewarm reviews , it was certified platinum and sold over 4 million copies worldwide . Lohan 's second album , titled A Little More Personal ( Raw ) , was released in December 2005 and featured darker material than her debut had . That album received mixed reviews , and it was certified gold .   In 2007 , two driving under the influence incidents led to Lohan being put on probation , and together with three visits to rehabilitation facilities caused the loss of several movie deals . In 2008 and 2009 , Lohan worked as a fashion model and launched the clothing line 6126 . She resumed her acting career with TV work in 2008 , and starred in the TV film Labor Pains ( 2009 ) . She appeared in Robert Rodriguez 's feature film Machete ( 2010 ) . Between 2010 and 2013 , Lohan went into rehabilitation three times , and spent much of her time entangled in legal problems stemming from misdemeanors and probation violations . In 2012 and 2013 , she did further television work , including starring as Elizabeth Taylor in the biographical TV film Liz & Dick ( 2012 ) . In 2013 , she starred in Paul Schrader 's independent film The Canyons .

The Dadasaheb Phalke Award , for lifetime contribution to cinema , was instituted in his honour , by the Government of India in 1969 , and is the most prestigious and coveted award in Indian cinema .   In the 20th century , Indian cinema , along with the Hollywood and Chinese film industries , became a global enterprise . As of 2013 , in terms of annual film output , India ranks first , followed by Nollywood , Hollywood and China . In 2012 , India produced 1,602 feature films . The Indian film industry reached overall revenues of $ 1.86 billion ( 93 billion ) in 2011 . This is projected to rise to $ 3 billion ( 200 billion ) in 2016 . In 2015 , India had a total box office gross of , the fourth largest in the world outside North America . Enhanced technology paved the way for upgrading from established cinematic norms of delivering product , altering the manner in which content reached the target audience . Biopics like Dangal and CGI-laden epics like Baahubali emerged as transnational blockbusters grossing over $ 200 million each in early 21st century . Indian cinema found markets in over 90 countries where films from India are screened . The Indian government extended film delegations to foreign countries such as the United States of America and Japan while the country 's Film Producers Guild sent similar missions through Europe .   The provision of 100 % foreign direct investment has made the Indian film market attractive for foreign enterprises such as 20th Century Fox , Sony Pictures , Walt Disney Pictures and Warner Bros. . Indian enterprises such as AVM Productions , Prasad 's Group , Sun Pictures , PVP Cinemas , Zee , UTV , Suresh Productions , Eros Films , Ayngaran International , Pyramid Saimira , Aascar Films and Adlabs also participated in producing and distributing films .

The South Indian film industry defines the four film cultures of South India as a single entity . They are the Telugu , the Tamil , the Malayalam and the Kannada industries .

The Indian diaspora consists of millions of Indians overseas for which films are made available both through media such as DVDs and by screening of films in their country of residence wherever commercially feasible . These earnings , accounting for some 12 % of the revenue generated by a mainstream film , contribute substantially to the overall revenue of Indian cinema , the net worth of which was found to be 1.3 billion in 2000 . Music in Indian cinema is another substantial revenue generator with the music rights alone accounting for 4 -- 5 % of the net revenues generated by a film in India .

Discussing the project in a later interview , she stated , '' -LSB- M -RSB- y idea was to fail the original Valley Girl . One person can not replicate the job of an 80-person film crew . So I thought that my Valley Girl would be a process piece where the video would at times be a dismal failure ... because I could never perfectly re-create the original . '' She also stated , `` I wanted my video to expose the underlying myth of the original : that Prince Charming will pursue you to the ends of the earth ... The idea of remaking it and making the construction of my video really obvious just acknowledged that the story is a construction , too . '' Writing in Artforum , Bruce Hainley called the work `` a guerrilla tour de force and a heady meditation on the simple act of doing something again '' and praised it simultaneously `` entertainment , a document of a time period and locale , a DIY manifesto , a feminist commentary with acute style , and a meditation on continuity . ''   In 2006 , O'Marah worked with David Jones and Tim Jackson to create the video Faustus 's Children , a take on the Faust legend . In the melodramatic video , non-actors `` deliver an amusingly fraught dialogue reflecting on the hubris of the haute bourgeoisie .

neg: Hayashi rice Hashed beef rice or Hayashi rice is a dish popular in Japan as a Western-style dish ( yōshoku ) . It usually contains beef , onions , and button mushrooms , in a thick demi-glace sauce which often contains red wine and tomato sauce . This sauce is served atop or alongside steamed rice . The sauce is sometimes topped with a drizzle of fresh cream .   The dish originates from the former mining town of Ikuno , Hyogo prefecture , Japan . There was a French engineer who worked for the mine in 1868 and improved it . Hayashi rice has a western influence with the use of demi-glace and often red wine , but is unknown in western countries . In fact , it contains ingredients popular in Japan : slices of beef ( Hyogo prefecture is also famous for its Kobe beef ) , rice and demi-glace sauce ( among others ) . It can be compared to another popular dish , the Japanese style hamburger steak with demi-glace sauce . Another variation is the Omuhayashi , a combination of Omurice and Hayashi rice . It resembles also to a Japanese curry and usually appears on menus alongside curry .   There is some debate regarding the origin of the name of this dish :  One belief is that the name was given by Yuteki Hayashi ( 早矢仕 有的 ; Hayashi Yūteki ) , the first president of publishing company Maruzen .  Another theory is that the name was produced by a cook named Hayashi who often served this dish for staff meals at the Ueno Seiyōken restaurant .  Perhaps the most common explanation is that the name ( ハヤシ ; `` hayashi '' ; `` hashed '' ) is simply derived from the English phrase `` hashed beef '' .   Hayashi rice is one of Japan 's most popular Western-style dishes . Thanks to the widespread availability of hayashi rice mix ( normally sold as roux blocks ) and prepared demiglace sauce ( normally canned ) at Japanese supermarkets , this dish is common household fare . Like Japanese curry , it is usually eaten with a spoon .   Hayashi rice was an important dish in mystery writer Keigo Higashino 's novel Ryūsei no Kizuna .

neg: Surrender of Japan The surrender of Imperial Japan was announced on August 15 and formally signed on September 2 , 1945 , bringing the hostilities of World War II to a close . By the end of July 1945 , the Imperial Japanese Navy ( IJN ) was incapable of conducting major operations and an Allied invasion of Japan was imminent . Together with the British Empire and China , the United States called for the unconditional surrender of the Japanese armed forces in the Potsdam Declaration on July 26 , 1945 -- the alternative being `` prompt and utter destruction '' . While publicly stating their intent to fight on to the bitter end , Japan 's leaders ( the Supreme Council for the Direction of the War , also known as the `` Big Six '' ) were privately making entreaties to the still-neutral Soviet Union to mediate peace on terms more favorable to the Japanese . Meanwhile , the Soviets were preparing to attack Japanese forces in Manchuria and Korea ( in addition to South Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands ) in fulfillment of promises they had secretly made to the United States and the United Kingdom at the Tehran and Yalta Conferences .   On August 6 , 1945 , at 8:15 AM local time , the United States detonated an atomic bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima . Sixteen hours later , American President Harry S. Truman called again for Japan 's surrender , warning them to `` expect a rain of ruin from the air , the like of which has never been seen on this earth . '' Late in the evening of August 8 , 1945 , in accordance with the Yalta agreements , but in violation of the Soviet -- Japanese Neutrality Pact , the Soviet Union declared war on Japan , and soon after midnight on August 9 , 1945 , the Soviet Union invaded the Imperial Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo . Later in the day , the United States dropped a second atomic bomb , this time on the Japanese city of Nagasaki . Following these events , Emperor Hirohito intervened and ordered the Supreme Council for the Direction of the War to accept the terms the Allies had set down in the Potsdam Declaration for ending the war . After several more days of behind-the-scenes negotiations and a failed coup d'état , Emperor Hirohito gave a recorded radio address across the Empire on August 15 . In the radio address , called the , he announced the surrender of Japan to the Allies .   On August 28 , the occupation of Japan by the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers began . The surrender ceremony was held on September 2 , aboard the United States Navy battleship , at which officials from the Japanese government signed the Japanese Instrument of Surrender , thereby ending the hostilities . Allied civilians and military personnel alike celebrated V-J Day , the end of the war ; however , some isolated soldiers and personnel from Imperial Japan 's far-flung forces throughout Asia and the Pacific islands refused to surrender for months and years afterwards , some even refusing into the 1970s . The role of the atomic bombings in Japan 's unconditional surrender , and the ethics of the two attacks , is still debated . The state of war formally ended when the Treaty of San Francisco came into force on April 28 , 1952 . Four more years passed before Japan and the Soviet Union signed the Soviet -- Japanese Joint Declaration of 1956 , which formally brought an end to their state of war .

neg: Classical Japanese language The classical Japanese language ( 文語 bungo , `` literary language '' ) , also called `` old writing '' ( 古文 kobun ) , is the literary form of the Japanese language that was the standard until the early Shōwa period ( 1926 -- 89 ) . It is based on Early Middle Japanese , the language as spoken during the Heian period ( 794 -- 1185 ) , but exhibits some later influences . Its use started to decline during the late Meiji period ( 1868 -- 1912 ) when novelists started writing their works in the spoken form . Eventually , the spoken style came into widespread use , including in major newspapers , but many official documents were still written in the old style . After the end of World War II because of the surrender of Japan , most documents switched to the spoken style , although the classical style continues to be used in traditional genres , such as haiku and waka . Old laws are also left in the classical style unless fully revised .

neg: Japanese rice Japanese rice refers to a number of short-grain cultivars of Japonica rice including ordinary rice ( uruchimai ) and glutinous rice ( mochigome ) .

When cooked it has a sticky texture such that it can easily be picked up and eaten with chopsticks . Outside Japan it is sometimes labeled sushi rice , as this is one of its common uses . It is also used to produce sake .   Glutinous rice , known in Japan as mochigome , is used for making mochi and special dishes such as sekihan . It is a short-grain rice , and can be distinguished from uruchimai by its particularly short , round and opaque grains , its greater stickiness when cooked , and firmer and chewier texture .

neg: Contemporary dance in Japan Contemporary Japanese dance draws on various traditional styles and Western classical and avant-garde forms , interpreted with the standards of Japanese schools . Many famous dance studios grew from training centers for Kabuki actor-dancers or derived from famous Kabuki families . Women dancers drawing their art from butoh were trained by the Hanayagi school , whose top dancers performed internationally . Ichinohe Sachiko choreographed and performed traditional dances in Heian court costumes , characterized by the slow , formal , and elegant motions of this classical age of Japanese culture .   Western schools covered classical ballet , jazz-dance , and modern dance and influenced the butoh avant-garde dance movement . Ballet was said to have replaced traditional Japanese arts , such as flower arrangement and the tea ceremony , in the hearts of young girls . Prima ballerina Morishita Yoko sat on the jury for the Prix de Lausanne Ballet Competition in 1989 , held for the first time in Tokyo , marking the arrival of Japanese classical ballet in the international community . Horiuchi Gen , a 1980 Prix de Lausanne winner , became a major soloist with the New York City Ballet , and Japanese performers noted for their superb technique were members of many major international companies . Modern dance was performed early after World War II and was later taught by such famous dancers as Eguchi Takaya . The Tokyo Modern Dance School and the Ozawa Hisako Modern Dance Company also promoted avant-garde modern dance . A wide experimental range within modern dance occurred from which choreographer Teshigawara Saburo skillfully drew to create multifaceted works for his KARAS Company .   The vital avant-garde butoh dance was a major development after the war : at least five major schools performed in the 1985 Butoh Festival , and there were numerous creative offshoots . Hijikata Tatsumi was a charismatic dancer who experimented with different kinds of creative dance to capture expressive motions he considered expressly suited to the Japanese physiognomy and psyche . He combined eroticism , social criticism , and avant-garde theater ideas , and he considered the body to be a repository for `` stored memories '' , which could be metamorphosed into dance forms . His theories and choreography were carried on by a number of famous dancers , who eventually formed their own major companies , which were strong in the 1980s and toured abroad .

neg: Major film studio A major film studio is a production and film distributor that releases a substantial number of films annually and consistently commands a significant share of box office revenue in a given market . In the North American , Western , and global markets , the major film studios , often simply known as the majors , are commonly regarded as the six diversified media conglomerates whose various film production and distribution subsidiaries collectively command approximately 80 to 85 percent of U.S. and Canadian box office revenue . The term may also be applied more specifically to the primary motion picture business subsidiary of each respective conglomerate .   The `` Big Six '' majors , whose operations are based in or around the Los Angeles neighborhood of Hollywood , are all centered in film studios active during Hollywood 's Golden Age of the 1930s and 1940s . In three cases -- 20th Century Fox , Warner Bros. , and Paramount -- the studios were one of the `` Big Five '' majors during that era as well . In two cases -- Columbia and Universal -- the studios were also considered majors , but in the next tier down , part of the `` Little Three '' . In the sixth case , Walt Disney Studios was an independent production company during the Golden Age ; it was an important Hollywood entity , but not a major . Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer , United Artists , and RKO were majors .   Today , Disney is the only member of the Big Six whose parent entity is still located near Los Angeles ( actually , on Disney 's studio lot and in the same building ) . The five others report to conglomerates headquartered in New York City , Philadelphia , and Tokyo . Of the Big Six , Paramount is the only one still based in Hollywood , and Paramount and Fox are the only ones still located within the Los Angeles city limits , while Disney and Warner Bros. are located in Burbank , Columbia in Culver City , and Universal in the unincorporated area of Universal City .   Most of today 's Big Six control subsidiaries with their own distribution networks that concentrate on arthouse pictures ( e.g. Fox Searchlight Pictures ) or genre films ( e.g. Sony 's Screen Gems ) ; several of these specialty units were shut down or sold off between 2008 and 2010 . The six major studios are contrasted with smaller production and/or distribution companies , which are known as independents or `` indies '' . The leading independent producer/distributors -- Lionsgate Films , The Weinstein Company , and former major studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer -- are sometimes referred to as `` mini-majors '' . From 1998 through 2005 , DreamWorks SKG commanded a large enough market share to arguably qualify it as a seventh major , despite its relatively small output . In 2006 , DreamWorks was acquired by Viacom , Paramount 's corporate parent . In late 2008 , DreamWorks once again became an independent production company ; its films were distributed by Disney 's Touchstone Pictures until 2016 , at which point distribution switched to Universal .   The Big Six major studios are today primarily backers and distributors of films whose actual production is largely handled by independent companies -- either long-running entities or ones created for and dedicated to the making of a specific film . The specialty divisions often simply acquire distribution rights to pictures in which the studio has had no prior involvement . While the majors still do a modicum of true production , their activities are focused more in the areas of development , financing , marketing , and merchandising . Those business functions are still usually performed in or near Los Angeles , even though the runaway production phenomenon means that most films are now mostly or completely shot on location at places outside Los Angeles .   Since the dawn of filmmaking , the U.S. major film studios have dominated both American cinema and the global film industry . U.S. studios have benefited from a strong first-mover advantage in that they were the first to industrialize filmmaking and master the art of mass-producing and distributing high-quality films with broad cross-cultural appeal . Today , the Big Six majors routinely distribute hundreds of films every year into all significant international markets ( that is , where discretionary income is high enough for consumers to afford to watch films ) . It is very rare , if not impossible , for a film to reach a broad international audience on multiple continents and in multiple languages without first being picked up by one of the majors for distribution .

In the past , most series that maintained a focus on teenagers had been sitcoms , while adolescents in drama series were usually part of a larger ensemble that included adults and children .   More often than not , teen dramas have soap opera elements , incorporating one or more ongoing story arcs spanning several episodes . The young characters must deal with the dramatic ups and downs of their friendships and romances while facing an array of issues thought to be typical of adolescence . There have also been many successful teen-based series with major science fiction , fantasy and action/adventure themes .

neg: Key demographic The key demographic is a term in television ratings that refers to the most desirable demographic group to a given advertiser .

'' Most key demographic groups consist of adults who are somewhere in age between 18 and 54 . For example , the key demographic for reality television is women with disposable income aged 18 to 34 whereas for the WB Television Network it is `` eighteen - to thirty-four-year-old , educated , white , affluent viewers '' Television programming is tailored to members of its key demographics : `` Despite the increase in time-shifting to watch recorded television and shows on the Internet , the use of television as an advertising vehicle is still determined by demographic characteristics or who is watching at what time . '' The subset of ratings that only includes the key demographic of 18 - to 49-year-olds is often referred to as the `` key demo '' . Certain radio formats ( especially those dubbed `` classic '' ) and television outlets may target persons 35 to 64 , especially since the late 2000s recession wiped out many career opportunities for millennials , since the 35 -- 64 demographic has much more disposable income .
