Tadeu Patolla
Tadeu Eliezer Patolla (born March 30, 1959) is a Brazilian guitarist and Latin Grammy Award-winning record producer best known for discovering the then-relatively new alternative rock band Charlie Brown Jr. in 1994 and launching them into mainstream fame.
Patolla was born in Santos, São Paulo on March 30, 1959.
He began his career, initially as a musician, in the late 1970s playing for cover bands Rock Memory and Rock Cover.
In the early 1980s, alongside former Patrulha do Espaço bassist Oswaldo "Cokinho" Gennari, Leonardo Giordano and Maurício Pedrosa, he formed the "one-hit wonder" band Telex, whose only release prior to their disbandment was the 7" single "Só Delírio" through CBS Records International in 1984.
In 1986 he formed the pop/comedy rock band Lagoa 66, who had shortened their name only to "Lagoa" by the time of the release of their only studio album, "Agora Sai!
", in 1995.
In 1988 he debuted as a producer, on Skowa e a Máfia's album "La Famiglia".
In 1994 he was acquainted with the up-and-coming band Charlie Brown Jr. through its bassist, Champignon, who sent him over a demo so he could evaluate their work.
Patolla then approached the band's vocalist, Chorão, convincing him to sing in Portuguese rather than the "broken English" he used to, and to "experiment" more with other genres such as hip hop, reggae, ska and hardcore punk, thus developing the eclectic sonority Charlie Brown Jr. would be known for.
Alongside Rick Bonadio, Patolla produced the band's 1997 debut, "Transpiração Contínua Prolongada", and his band Lagoa, in one of its final credited works prior to its break-up, made a guest appearance on the track "Escalas Tropicais"; he would produce other further five albums for Charlie Brown Jr., and also be a guest musician on their 2003 "Acústico MTV" live album/DVD.
When Champignon left the band in 2005 to form his own project, Revolucionnários, Patolla produced their only release, "Retratos da Humanidade".
Patolla has also worked with other bands and artists such as Biquini Cavadão, Deborah Blando, Jorge Ben Jor, Wilson Sideral, Aliados and Strike.
In 2012 he won a Latin Grammy Award for his work in Beto Lee's "Celebração & Sacrifício".
In 2019 he launched the indie band Curinga Roque, producing their debut single "Não Vá Embora".
Peel (2019 film)
Peel is a 2019 British comedy-drama film co-produced and directed by Rafael Monserrate and starred by Emile Hirsch.
The movie was first shown on February 7, 2019, at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.
The story of Peel Munter, who is left lost and alone at the age of 30, when his over-protective mother dies.
Noel Murray from the "LA Times" wrote: "The problem is that ""Peel"" is so persistently twee that when it tries to introduce heavier themes - involving the lasting damage family and friends thoughtlessly inflict on each other - the general sense of unreality gets in the way."
Roger Moore from the website "Movie Nation" gave the movie only 1.5 stars out of 4, stating: "Hirsch is a gifted comic actor and could have made a lot more out of this unworldly guy who draws and snorkels obsessively and gets his hair cut about as often as Johnny Depp.
And no, a few sweet moments in the final act don’t paper over the emptiness that precedes them.
""Peel"" is just as its title suggests, a movie that's all surface peel and no substance."

Eucalyptus rodwayi
Eucalyptus rodwayi, commonly known as the swamp peppermint, is a species of small to medium-sized tree that is endemic to Tasmania.
It has rough, fibrous to flaky bark on the trunk and branches, narrow lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of between seven and eleven, white flowers and conical to hemispherical fruit.
"Eucalyptus rodwayi" is a tree that typically grows to a height of and forms a lignotuber.
It has rough, greyish fibrous or flaky bark on the trunk and branches.
Young plants and coppice regrowth have lance-shaped to elliptical leaves long and wide.
Adult leaves are the same shade of glossy green on both sides, narrow lance-shaped or curved, long and wide, tapering to a petiole long.
The flower buds are arranged in groups of seven, nine or eleven on a peduncle long, the individual flowers on pedicels long.
Mature buds are oval to diamond-shaped, long and wide with a conical operculum about equal in length to the floral cup.
Flowering occurs between December and March and the flowers are white.
The fruit is a conical to hemispherical capsule long and wide with the valves near rim level.
"Eucalyptus rodwayi" was first formally described in 1902 by Richard Thomas Baker and Henry George Smith in their book "A research on the eucalypts of Tasmania and their essential oils".
The specific epithet ("rodwayi") honours Leonard Rodway for his contribution to botanical research in Tasmania.
Swamp peppermint grows in poorly-drained areas in valleys from the central plateau to the east coast of Tasmania.

Cityscape (2019 film)
Cityscape is a Canadian experimental short documentary film, directed by Michael Snow and released in 2019.

The film was commissioned by IMAX, alongside films by Oliver Husain, Lisa Jackson, Kelly Richardson and Leila Sujir, as part of Outer Worlds, a program of short IMAX films that toured Canada in 2019 to mark the 50th anniversary of the company.
The project premiered at the 2019 Images Festival, before touring to Canada's other IMAX theatres in Victoria, Sudbury, Edmonton and Montreal.
In December 2019, the film was named to the Toronto International Film Festival's annual year-end Canada's Top Ten list for short films.

The Concert (Gaspare Traversi)
The Concert is a circa 1760 painting by the Italian late-Baroque painter Gaspare Traversi.
This artist, active in Naples Italy, is best known for his humorous and intricate genre works like this one.
The painting depicts a small crowded room hosting a concert involving either a fortepiano or harpsichord, cello, and flute.
The central figure, the bonneted young women dressed in an elegant blue and yellow gown and playing the piano, gazes toward the spectator.
To her right and surrounding the piano are fashionably dressed older men.
Two hold canes, and two hold private conversations.
Two fixate, perhaps leer, at the young woman.
One gentleman holds perhaps a small wind instrument in his hand.
Near the woman's right foot, is a cat, facing away from us.
The scene, somewhat unsettling, appears to convey some cryptic allegory.
An alternative explanation is that the structure, if not subject, of the painting may be derived from a similar "Concerto" picture' attributed to Traversi' and on display at the Casa-Museu Pinacoteca Braamcamp Freire in Santarém, Portugal.
The subject of the painting is putatively that of Maria Barbara of Portugal playing the harpsichord, being tutored by a white-haired Domenico Scarlatti raising his hand, and watched over by a red-coated Ferdinand VI of Spain.
In this painting, the pianist is focused on her playing and the king is dapper and young.
