Chitrambari (pronounced chitrāmbari) is a ragam in Carnatic music (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 66th Melakarta rāgam in the 72 melakarta rāgam system of Carnatic music. It is called Chaturangini in Muthuswami Dikshitar school of Carnatic music. It is the prati madhyamam equivalent of Naganandini, which is the 30th melakarta.

Structure and Lakshana

It is the 6th rāgam in the 11th  chakra Rudra. The mnemonic name for this rāgam is Rudra-Sha. The mnemonic phrase is sa ra gu mi pa dhu nu. Its  structure (ascending and descending scale) is (see swaras in Carnatic music for details on below notation and terms):
:
:
(the notes in this scale are chathushruti rishabham, antara gandharam, prati madhyamam, shatshruti dhaivatam, kakali nishadam)

Since it is a melakarta rāgam, by definition it is a sampoorna rāgam (it has all 7 notes in ascending and descending scale).

Janya rāgams
Chitrambari has a few janya rāgams (derived scales) associated with it, of which Amritavarshini is very popular. List of janya rāgams contains the full list of rāgams associated with Chitrambari and other melakartas.

Compositions
A few compositions set to Chitrambari are:

Sri rama nelami by Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna
Samaganalola by Koteeswara Iyer

Related rāgams
The theoretical and scientific aspect of Chitrambari are described below.

Chitrambari's notes when shifted using Graha bhedam, yields 3 other melakarta rāgams, namely, Shanmukhapriya, Shoolini and Dhenuka. Graha bhedam is the step taken in keeping the relative note frequencies same, while shifting the shadjam (Sa) to the next note in the rāgam. For further details and an illustration refer Graha bhedam on Shanmukhapriya.

Daniil Simkin (born 12 October 1987 in Novosibirsk, Russia) is a ballet dancer and entrepreneur, best known for his accomplished technical skill and charismatic stage presence. He is a principal dancer with both American Ballet Theatre and Berlin State Ballet. Simkin is based in Berlin and New York, and is the founder of Studio Simkin.

Overview
Simkin is an international principal dancer who performs leading roles in the classical and contemporary ballet repertoire. He is currently considered one of the leading male ballet dancers worldwide.

His early social media presence and success in competitions initiated his rise to principal dancer. His recent work explores dance across a broad range of artistic influences and genres. In 2021, he developed Studio Simkin to promote dance across an ever-evolving digital platform.

Simkin cites inspiration from dancers Mikhail Baryshnikov, Rudolf Nureyev, and his father, Dmitrij Simkin: "I would take Mr. Baryshnikov’s technique and coordination, Mr. Nureyev’s charisma and stage presence and my father’s work ethic, put them all in a shaker and you would have the perfect male ballet dancer." He has been called "the new Baryshnikov" by the French press.

Early life and training
Born in Novosibirsk, Russia, Simkin grew up in Wiesbaden, Germany. His parents, former ballet dancers Dmitrij Simkin and Olga Aleksandrova, met when performing at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow. His half-brother, Anton Alexandrov (born 1977) danced with Hamburg Ballet and is now a ballet teacher.

Simkin studied ballet privately with his mother as her first student. He received a conventional academic education in Wiesbaden, and completed Abitur, the German qualification to attend university, alongside his ballet studies. As a student, he performed corps and soloist roles with Ballet Wiesbaden from 1993 to 2006.

Career
After receiving a Senior Gold Medal from the 2006 USA International Ballet Competition in Jackson, Mississippi, Simkin was invited to perform in the gala "Stars of the 21st Century" in Paris, and then in New York. Simkin joined Wiener Staatsballett (Vienna State Ballet) in 2006, and was promoted to first soloist in 2007.

In 2008, Simkin joined American Ballet Theatre as a soloist, where he went on to perform a huge roster of signature roles. He has been called "a dancer happiest in the air" by The New York Times critic Gia Kourlas.

Simkin was promoted to principal dancer at ABT in December 2012. During the following years, he performed leading roles in classical and neoclassical repertoire (see list below) including Don Quixote, Prodigal Son, Swan Lake, and The Boy with Matted Hair in Antony Tudor's Shadowplay. He performed works by choreographers including George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, Paul Taylor, Twyla Tharp and Merce Cunningham as well as created ballets with choreographers such as Benjamin Millepied and Alexei Ratmansky. The New York Times has described how Simkin's musicality allows him "ample time to show the inner workings of each step," and W Magazine has highlighted his "space spanning leaps" and "virtuosic aplomb."

In 2018, Simkin joined Staatsballett Berlin (Berlin State Ballet) as a principal dancer, a position he holds parallel to his spot with ABT. Simkin told Dance that the transition would allow him to perform more European-centric contemporary choreography than had been available for him at ABT. "I'm excited to expand my spectrum of choreographers," he said. "I believe in the concept of a company that can create something cutting edge while also dancing classical works." Simkin's love of electronic music and the potential for Berlin's club scene to filter into the ballet world was another appeal. During his first season with the company, Alexei Ratmansky created a new La Bayadère for the company, in which Simkin danced the role of Solor.

In 2021, Simkin was featured as the first teacher on the new platform "Dance-Masterclass," where he outlined his approach to pirouettes and turns. As creator Caspar Hees told Pointe: "[Simkin] breaks down the major elements, from balance to the preparation to the upper body, and offers exercises, turn combinations and a few of his own secrets." With Dance Masterclass, Simkin co-produced an interview with ballerina Sylvie Guillem.

International recognition
One of Simkin's most celebrated roles is Basil in Don Quixote, which he has performed since the age of 19, and has presented all over the world alongside such partners as Maria Kochetkova and Isabella Boylston. He was the first dancer to ever perform three 540s in a row.

Simkin has an especially enthusiastic fanbase in Japan. He has appeared on the cover of major Japanese magazines, and has expressed his love of anime and Japanese culture. On his own cultural identity: "I think of my use of language as a metaphor. I speak Russian, English, German, and a little French, each with an accent. I’m not perfect in any one language, and it’s similar with my national and personal identity."

Simkin has performed in numerous countries on six continents. He has produced International Ballet Gala Events in Greece 2009 and Japan 2012. He has also danced frequently with theaters including the Bolshoi Theater, Moscow; the Mariinsky Theater, St. Petersburg; Opera National de Paris; London Coliseum and Sadler's Wells, London; National Center for Performing Arts, Beijing; The Music Center, Los Angeles; Lyric Theater and Auditorium Theater, Chicago; Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington DC; Bunka Kaikan, Tokyo; Queensland Performing Arts Center, Brisbane; Royal Opera House, Stockholm; Royal Danish Theater, Copenhagen; Gran Teatro de Liceu, Barcelona; Terme Di Caracalla, Rome; Teatro Arcimboldo, Milan; Megaro Mousikis Theater, Athens; Royal Opera House, Oman; National Opera, Seoul; National Theater, Taipei; and Teatro Colón, Buenos Aires.

Recurring international guest performances have included the World Ballet Festival in Tokyo, Japan; Stars of the 21st Century Ballet Galas in Toronto, Paris, New York and Moscow; International Ballet Star Gala in Taipei; Youth America Grand Prix Gala, New York; International Ballet Star Gala, Buenos Aires; and Roberto Bolle and Friends, with performances throughout Italy.

Social media: a new platform for dance
"Nowadays we have the possibility of connecting with the audience directly," Simkin has told The New York Times. Simkin's efforts to make ballet accessible, and to connect a large and broad audience to the art form, began with an early and active social media presence.

Today, he maintains a digital presence on his Instagram page @daniil, as well as a page dedicated to his personal photography @daniilsees In 2015, The New York Times covered his process of photographing dancers backstage, just before and after the performance: "I mean, that is our goal, to make it look simple, natural and sort of like it doesn’t cost us anything," he said. "We are having a good time, and we are floating. But in order to make it look like that, we sacrifice our lives."

"The internet has become the place for individuals to create their own brands, and being a good dancer isn't always enough," Simkin says. "But I still consider onstage performance the ultimate test. I've noticed that the possibilities in male technique are advancing at a quicker pace, in an exponential way. It will be interesting to see where it will go."

Independent productions
With independent productions, Simkin explores new outlets for dance, including virtual or augmented realities, immersive dance performances, and new dance films. These projects have offered an opportunity for Simkin to explore every aspect of the creative process, as well as executive production and fundraising.

Intensio, 2015, co-production with the Joyce Theater in New York. Repertory: Gregory Dolbashian's Welcome a Stranger, Jorma Elo's Nocturne/Etude/Prelude, Alexander Ekman's biographical Simkin and the Stage, and Anna Lopez Ochoa's Islands of Memories, the first ballet ever to be performed using real-time generated, video projections that are responsive to the dance. It premiered at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival in July 2015, toured to Houston and Buenos Aires in November 2015, and ran at the Joyce for a week in January 2016. Dancers at the New York debut included Isabella Boylston, Alexandre Hammoudi, Blaine Hoven, Calvin Royal III, Hee Seo, Cassandra Trenary, James Whiteside, and Céline Cassone.

Falls the Shadow, 2017, co-production with the Guggenheim Museum, New York; a multi-disciplinary dance installation. Choreography by Alejandro Cerrudo. Video designer, Dmitrij Simkin in partnership with interactive media designer Arístides Job García Hernández. Costumes by Dior. "With the added layer of the architecture up the Guggenheims’ rotunda, the choreography took on new dimensions" (The New York Times).

Diorama, 2020, co-production with Staatsballett Berlin, was a dance film conceived at the height of the pandemic with long-time partner Maria Kochetkova. Choreography by Sebastian Kloborg. Music by the Kronos Quartet. As Dance described: "Diorama is dark, and strange—a surreal and bizarre chase." The film received an award for "best screendance film under 10 minutes" at the 2021 San Francisco Dance Film Festival.

Studio Simkin
In 2021, Simkin founded the production company Studio Simkin to explore and develop dance opportunities for the next era with the highest production value and artistic standard, encouraging ballet to evolve within a digital environment and for new forums. While these productions aim to promote dance as an art form, they are also geared toward collaboration and experiment. Drawing on the German concept of the "Gesamtkunstwerk," he aims to create a unique range of possibilities for dance.

The 2008 Estoril Superleague Formula round was the fourth round of the inaugural Superleague Formula championship, with the races taking place on October 19, 2008. Eighteen football teams were represented on the grid, the same number of teams as there was at the previous two rounds. There were four driver changes for this round of the championship: Franck Perera joined A.S. Roma replacing Enrico Toccacelo, with Toccacelo moving to the Borussia Dortmund car, replacing Paul Meijer as original driver Nelson Philippe was on GP2 Asia Series duty in Shanghai. Meijer also stayed in the series, moving to the Al Ain car, as both of their previous drivers Andreas Zuber (also in Shanghai) and Bertrand Baguette (in Barcelona for the final World Series by Renault round of the season) were unavailable. Just like Baguette, Duncan Tappy was unavailable to drive the Tottenham Hotspur car, and was replaced by Dominik Jackson. The meeting saw a second win for Liverpool F.C. and a first win for Al Ain. Beijing Guoan extended their championship lead to 35 points, thanks to a pair of fifths for Davide Rigon.

Report

Qualifying
After the random draw which split the eighteen-car field into two groups, the fastest four qualifiers from each progressed into the knockout stages to decide places 1 to 8 on the grid. For the first time in Superleague Formula, the eight knockout qualifiers were the eight fastest drivers out of the two groups. As fastest drivers in their groups, Franck Perera (A.S. Roma) and Kasper Andersen (Olympiacos CFP) were expected to meet in the final, however Robert Doornbos' A.C. Milan machine knocked out the Dane in the semis. In the final itself, Perera recorded the fastest lap to become the fourth different polesitter in four races.

Race 1
From the start, Perera led away from Doornbos, Adrián Vallés (Liverpool F.C.) and Tristan Gommendy (F.C. Porto), with Andersen being delayed from third on the grid. Lower down the field, tenth-placed Max Wissel (FC Basel 1893) collided with seventh-placed Enrico Toccacelo (Borussia Dortmund) collided at Curva 1, with Wissel retiring on the spot and Toccacelo retiring at the end of the lap, with front wing damage from the accident. It stayed that way until the mandatory stops, with Davide Rigon (Beijing Guoan) joining in on the fun also. Lap 10 saw Perera pitting with a four-second lead, closely followed by Vallés. A fumble by a rear tyre changer cost the French driver time and the place to Vallés. Doornbos came in to pit next time around with Rigon which put Gommendy into the lead, for home side Porto. He would lead for a couple of laps, before pitting which allowed Antônio Pizzonia (SC Corinthians) to lead for a lap. When all the stops cycled through, Liverpool led from Milan, Roma and Beijing with Pizzonia up to fifth. Pizzonia would pass Rigon for fourth towards the end of the race as the Italian was nursing an ailing car home with only fourth through sixth gears, and closed to a second behind Perera at the finish. Gommendy's strong run was ended by a water pump failure on lap 26, ruling that car out for the rest of the day. So, Vallés won his second Superleague race by 0.948 seconds from Doornbos, and then followed by Perera, Pizzonia, Rigon, Andy Soucek (Atlético Madrid), Alessandro Pier Guidi (Galatasaray S.K.), Borja García (Sevilla FC), Yelmer Buurman (PSV Eindhoven), Andersen, Tuka Rocha (CR Flamengo), Paul Meijer (Al Ain), Ryan Dalziel (Rangers F.C.), Craig Dolby (R.S.C. Anderlecht) and debutant Dominik Jackson rounding out the field for Tottenham Hotspur in 15th.

Race 2
Rigon started from the pit lane, following a gearbox change after race one. From the start, polesitter Wissel led from Toccacelo and Jackson with action towards the back with Soucek's engine blowing. Jackson moved up to second, passing Toccacelo around the back of the circuit and closed up on Wissel down the front straight, and at Curva 1, Jackson would take the lead for a couple of laps. On lap 4, Toccacelo came up to the back of the Englishman's car, having already disposed of Wissel and did the same to Jackson. Towards the back, Perera and Vallés would collide at turn six, with Perera spinning into the gravel and retirement and Vallés retreating to the pits for a new nosecone. Dalziel also had a moment, and spun into retirement as well, with unrepairable accident damage. Out front, Toccacelo was establishing a healthy lead before his pit-stop on lap 14. Andersen then led for three laps before his pitstop, handing the lead back to Toccacelo, with Meijer now in tow, thanks to an early pitstop on lap 10. Wissel and Andersen would both retire in the late stages with mechanical problems and with three laps to go, gremlins would strike Toccacelo. Fading oil pressure switched the engine's ECU into safety mode, and was helpless in stopping Meijer through to the lead. After recording his first pole at Zolder, Meijer recorded his first win by nearly two seconds from Doornbos (up from 17th) with Pier Guidi, Pizzonia and Rigon further deposing Toccacelo before the flag. García, Buurman, Dolby, Rocha, Jackson and Vallés completed the finishers. Healthy finishes for Rigon allowed Beijing to head to the penultimate round at Vallelunga with a 35-point lead from PSV, with Liverpool now in third just a point further back. With a maximum of 200 points available, the championship is still wide open.

María Noel Riccetto Barusso (born 27 March 1980) is an Uruguayan ballet dancer, television personality and arts administrator, who currently serves as the artistic director of the National Ballet of Uruguay. A former soloist with American Ballet Theatre (ABT), she was awarded the Prix Benois de la Danse in 2017.

Early life
María Noel Riccetto Barusso was born on 27 March 1980 in Montevideo, to Hugo Riccetto and María Barusso. She is of Italian descent on both parents' sides. Raised Catholic, she attended Colegio Las Teresas, Colegio Jesús María in Carrasco, and Colegio de la Inmaculada Concepción in Centro.

Dance career
She began studying ballet at the Uruguay National Ballet School in 1990. She was hired as a professional dancer in 1995 by the Uruguayan National Ballet, which depends on the Official Service of Broadcasting, Television and Entertainment (SODRE), dancing pieces by Rodolfo Lastra, Ivan Tenorio, Jaime Pintos, and others. In 1998, Riccetto was named "Revelation of the Year" by Uruguayan dance critic Washington Roldan, and received the Elena Smirnova Prize from Enrique Honorio Destaville, an Argentine ballet reviewer. Later that year she attended the North Carolina School of the Arts on a full scholarship. There she performed in Grand Pas Romantique (choreographed and staged by Fernando Bujones) and Intermezzo (choreographed by Eliot Feld).

She also danced the roles of the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Snow Queen in The Nutcracker. In 1999, when the production was performed at the Hungarian National Academy, Ms. Riccetto was invited to Budapest to reprise her role as the Sugar Plum Fairy, dancing with Gabor Szigeti, a soloist with the Hungarian National Ballet. Riccetto was as a guest artist at the 25th Anniversary Gala for the Uruguay National Ballet School and was invited by that country's First Lady to dance in Montevideo and Punta Del Este.  In August 1999, Riccetto joined American Ballet Theatre's corps de ballet and three years later she was promoted to soloist.

Riccetto was the "dance double" for Mila Kunis in the 2010 film Black Swan, a psychological thriller about ballet dancers in New York City.

After 13 years of dancing in the American Ballet Theatre, in 2012 Riccetto came back to Uruguay to dance in the Uruguayan National Ballet, directed by Argentinian former dancer Julio Bocca. In 2017, Riccetto was awarded a Prix Benois de la Danse for her performance of Tatiana in Onegin.

The Detroit-Leland Hotel is a historic hotel located at 400 Bagley Street in Downtown Detroit, Michigan. It is the oldest continuously operating hotel in downtown Detroit, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. The ballroom of the Detroit-Leland has hosted a nightclub, the City Club, since 1983. The hotel is now named The Leland and no longer rents to overnight guests.

History
In the early 1920s, Edward A. Loveley and Harry A. Stormfeltz formed the Detroit Properties Corporation, with the purpose of developing Bagley Street outward from Grand Circus Park. The first building constructed was the Michigan Building at Bagley and Clifford, designed by the Chicago firm of Rapp & Rapp. The Michigan Building opened in 1926. The second building project undertaken by the Detroit Properties Corporation was the Detroit-Leland Hotel. Loveley and Stormfeltz again tapped Rapp & Rapp to design the building, and the Cleveland firm of Lundoff-Bicknell as contractors. Construction began in 1926, and the building cost $4.5 million.

The Detroit-Leland Hotel (named for Cadillac founder Henry M. Leland) opened its doors in April, 1927. It had 800 air-conditioned hotel rooms, along with a dining room, coffee shop, ball room, and 11 stores at street level.

However, by 1929 the ownership was having major financial problems and declared bankruptcy. The hotel remained in bankruptcy until 1936, but kept operating throughout this period. By the 1950s, ownership had changed hands to Robert J. Sterling and his brothers Oliver and Edward. The Sterlings renovated the hotel in 1959/1960, prompted by the opening of Cobo Hall. In 1964 the hotel was again sold, this time to Robert K. and Donald Werbe, who renovated the hotel to have 473 apartments in addition to hotel rooms.

The hotel changed hands again in the 1970s, with Mayer Morganroth and John R. Ferris as owners, and in the 1980s when the Leland House Limited Partnership Company, headed by Michael W. Higgins, was formed. The 1980s recession hit the hotel hard, and the Leland became part of the Ramada hotel chain in 1988. The hotel reverted to its historical name in 2006. The Leland House Limited Partnership Company remains the owner of the Detroit Leland.

Construction
The Detroit-Leland Hotel is a 22-story building faced with brick, granite, and terra cotta with a flat roof. It was designed in the Beaux-Arts architectural style by the Chicago firm of Rapp & Rapp. The lower four floors of the hotel are rectangular in plan, with the upper floors taking on a U shape.

Vertically, the plan of the building divides into three parts: a four-story base, the main central section, and two-story attic. The street level is faced with marble, added likely in the 1960s. The section of the base above is faced in the original terra cotta. Round-arch windows reaching two stories light the second-floor spaces ballrooms, lobby and other public spaces. The third and fourth floors both contain pairs of double-hung windows separated by decorative terra cotta details. Between the fourth floor and the attic, the building is faced in buff-colored brick. A beltcourse separates the main section from the attic.

The Bagley Avenue entrance has three doorways, with a revolving door flanked by plate glass doors. The two glass doors have a sidelight, and all three have transom windows above. Original detailed metalwork divides the doors and windows. Inside, the entryway leads to a corridor accessing the commercial spaces on the ground floor. A set of six stairs leads into a wide turned staircase, which still has original wrought iron banisters and railings. The staircase leads to the main lobby on the second floor. The lobby is two stories tall, and leads to a ballroom, conference room, and associated facilities.

On the upper floors are the hotel's guest rooms. These rooms have been reconfigured in varying arrangements, and all contain kitchens, sitting rooms and separate bedroom areas. Floors 5–9 contain rental apartments, floors 10–17 are used as hotel rooms, and floors 18–20 are used as apartments. The basement level contains mechanical and laundry rooms, repair shops, employee locker rooms and toilets, and a nightclub.

Veronika Part (born 21 February 1978) is a Russian ballet dancer. She is a former principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre. She served as a ballet mistress for Atlanta Ballet during the 2019–20 season.

Early life
Veronika Part was born in St. Petersburg. The doctor who delivered her said she had beautiful legs, therefore her mother believed Part should be a ballet dancer. However, Part started in gymnastics at age 4, and continued for six years. In 1988, at age 10, her mother sent her to audition for Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet. She was accepted and started training at the academy. She graduated in 1996, under the class of Inna Zubkovskaya.

Career
In 1996, at age 18, Part joined the Kirov Ballet (now Mariinsky Ballet), and became a soloist in 1998. At age 20, she made her debut as Odette/Odile in Swan Lake and the title role in Raymonda. When the Kirov performed George Balanchine's Jewels. She was coached by Gabriella Komleva, Ninel Kurgapkina, Yelena Yevteyeva and Lubov Kunakova. She was the winner of the BALTIKA Prize in 1999. The Kirov toured extensively during this time and Part danced in many different countries on many continents. She became frustrated at her lack of progress and being overlooked for principal even though she was dancing principal roles and began to look around in Europe for the opportunities.

Part first performed in New York City in 1999 with the Mariinsky cast as the Lilac Fairy in The Sleeping Beauty and caught the attention of American Ballet Theatre director Kevin McKenzie. When she returned three years later in the role of Odette/Odile in Swan Lake, McKenzie invited her to join as a soloist with the company, which she accepted. Part spoke no English at the time. She made her debut with ABT during its Japan tour. She first performed supporting roles, but gradually got more prominent roles.

Part considered leaving the ABT and return to Russia, as she wanted to dance more and more support offstage, but was promoted to the rank of principal dancer in 2009. She decided to stay for personal reasons. Since her promotion, she had danced many of lead roles of the company's repertoire, including works by McKenzie, Frederick Ashton, George Balanchine and Alexei Ratmansky. She had created roles for the latter, including Natalia in his On the Dnieper and Lilac Fairy in his version of The Sleeping Beauty.

Outside of ABT, she had appeared on Late Show with David Letterman. She had danced with the Royal New Zealand Ballet as a guest artist. She also participated in projects by the Kennedy Center and Metropolitan Opera. In 2012, she had returned to the Mariinsky as guest to perform in Swan Lake. The following year, she appeared in documentary Ballet's Greatest Hits, dancing the White Swan pas de deux.

In 2017, Part retired from ABT as her contract was not renewed. Her departure was announced days before her final performance. Her fans started a petition on Change.org to ask the company's leadership to let Part stay. Part exited the company following a performance of Balanchine's Mozartiana.

Part had taught in schools across the U.S., and was a jury at Youth America Grand Prix. She later became a ballet master at Atlanta Ballet.

Sarah Lane (born August 3, 1984) is an American ballet dancer who was a principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre (ABT). She served as a "dance double" for Natalie Portman in the 2010 film Black Swan.

Early life
Lane was born in San Francisco, California. She started training for dance at Classical Ballet Memphis in Memphis, Tennessee. Her family later moved to Rochester, New York where she continued her training at the Draper Center for Dance Education. At the age of 16 she attended the Boston Ballet's Summer Program on a full scholarship. At the North American Ballet Festival in 2000 and 2001, she won first place and received the Capezio Class Excellence Award.

In 2002 she received the highest medal in the Junior Division of the Jackson International Ballet Competition. During that time she also performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., as a presidential scholar in the arts. Also in 2002, she won the bronze medal at the Youth America Grand Prix Competition.

Career
Lane joined American Ballet Theatre as an apprentice in August 2003, became a member of the company's corps de ballet in April 2004. Lane was the June 2007 cover model for Dance Magazine. She was appointed a Soloist in August 2007 and was promoted to Principal Dancer in September 2017. Her promotion was announced following four successful role debuts - the titular role in Giselle, Odette/Odile in Swan Lake, and a leading role in Souvenir d'un lieu cher - as part of ABT's 2017 season at the Metropolitan Opera House. She also originated the role of Princess Praline in Whipped Cream. The New York Times called Lane's debut in Giselle “distinguished.” Her term with ABT ended in 2020. In 2023, she became Director of the School of Ballet RI.

Black Swan

Lane served as a "dance double" for Natalie Portman in the 2010 film Black Swan, a psychological thriller about ballet dancers in New York City. In a March 3 blog entry for Dance Magazine, editor-in-chief Wendy Perron asked: "Do people really believe that it takes only one year to make a ballerina? We know that Natalie Portman studied ballet as a kid and had a year of intensive training for the film, but that doesn't add up to being a ballerina. However, it seems that many people believe that Portman did her own dancing in Black Swan." This led to responses from Benjamin Millepied and Aronofsky, who both defended Portman, as well as a response from Lane on the subject.

Personal life
In December 2007, Lane married Luis Ribagorda, a member of the ABT's corps de ballet. They reside in Jersey City, New Jersey.

Selected repertoire
Lane's repertory with the American Ballet Theatre includes:

Proctor's Theater is located on Fourth Street (northbound US 4) in Troy, New York, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and is a contributing property to the Central Troy Historic District, added to the Register in 1986.

It was built in 1914 for vaudeville performances by Capital District entrepreneur Frederick Freeman Proctor, who also built another theater with his name in nearby Schenectady. Its double-balcony auditorium made it easily adaptable for showing motion pictures when that entertainment came into fashion soon after it opened. The building is credited to architect Arland W. Johnson.

In the late 1970s it closed. Since then it has been through several owners, including Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), which have had various plans, including renovating it into office space or reusing it as a theater. In 2014, it was announced that Columbia Development would be renovating the building for the Rensselaer County Chamber of Commerce.

As of September 2018, the building has been repurposed into a modern office space behind the preserved façade. Current tenants include the Rensselaer County Chamber of Commerce, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Christopher Brian Salon.

Building

The theater is part of a row of buildings along the east side of Fourth Street. It is five stories high, with a highly decorative front facade of brick and marble covered in glazed terra-cotta. On the ground level, rusticated columns rise up to lion's heads. Five engaged marble columns frame the upper floors, rising to gargoyle-like figures, and two towers rise above the roofline at either end of the facade. The one above the main entry features a variety of terra cotta details: colonettes, dentils, escutcheons, and paretae.

The interior has suffered from years of neglect, but its basic plan remains. The tiled lobby with arched ceilings and paneled walls, leads via staircases to the two balconies, and into a foyer to the orchestra floor. Gold leaf adorned (or originally did) the arches in that section. The proscenium features a David Lithgow painting of Lafayette's visit to Troy in 1824. All these fixtures remain unchanged from the theater's original construction.

History

Proctor, who had already built and operated several successful vaudeville theaters in Albany and New York City hired Arlard Johnson to design the theater, hoping to make it his grandest project since he had entered the business nearly three decades before. It cost $325,000 to construct, and when it opened in 1914 it became the largest theater in the state and was praised as "a structure ranking foremost in American theatrical circles."

From their inception, he had realized the potential of motion pictures and had begun adapting his theaters to the new medium. The Troy Proctor's classically inspired double-balcony form lent itself well to the movies because it put the audience close to the stage no matter where they were in the theater. It had not been designed to accommodate a projector and screen, but by the 1920s a booth had been added. During that era, its productions, like many other theaters of the time, included both live and filmed entertainment. In the 1930s, with the advent of the sound era making the live act superfluous, the central chandelier was removed along with some other renovations, including removing the paintings from the lobby and painting over the gold leaf in the orchestra.

After Proctor's death in 1929, the theater continued to operate as a popular downtown destination. After the mid-20th century, it began to lose business due to television and suburbanization. In 1977, it finally closed, its last show seen by a crowd of around 170 people. The final show was The Longest Yard starring Burt Reynolds. A year later the city acquired the property when it foreclosed on the then-owners. It is the only remaining movie palace in Troy, albeit unused for that purpose ever since then.

Relationship with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

RPI students frequented Proctor's Theater for movie screenings, live performances, and vaudeville acts during its run as a performance hall. Ads featuring performances at Proctor's Theater were featured in the RPI Student Newspaper, The Polytechnic, until Proctor's Theater closed in 1977.

In the early 1900s, RPI students performed vaudeville and musical acts at Proctor's Theater. The “RPI Nights” act originated in 1915 under the direction of C. F. Matthews, referred to as "Matty" by his peers at RPI. Matthews graduated from RPI in 1916, and the weekly RPI Nights performances also ended.

In March 1922, a group of RPI students re-established the RPI Nights as a weekly act at Proctor's Theater. After a successful opening night, as described in The Polytechnic, the “Campus Five” was established. The group featured five RPI students and was led by Mark Albert “Pete” Gerwig. Their repertoire included musical performances on the banjo, saxophone, violin, and included clog dancing, folk singing, jazz, and more. While the Campus Five had its origins at Proctor's Theater, the group performed at a range of RPI-hosted events, including dances, events, and dinners for various organizations on and off campus.

The RPI Nights performances were very well attended by the public. At one point, The Polytechnic stated "Tute nights are a great success. The size of the audience that attended the first performance was the largest ever assembled in the history of Proctor’s; according to the Manager Emde." After “Pete” Gerwig and the RPI Five graduated from RPI, it is unclear whether Rensselaer students continued to perform at Proctor's Theater as the Campus Five.

In later years, RPI hosted events and acts at Proctor's Theater. In the 1970s, the Rensselaer Concert Board hosted several musical and entertainment acts for the RPI community. In October 1975, the Rensselaer Concert Board presented in concert folk-rock groups Poco and McKendree Spring at Proctors. This event was organized by RPI's Union Programs and Activities Committee (UPAC). UPAC also hosted the comedy radio show National Lampoon Radio Hour in 1975 at Proctor's Theater.

RPI purchased Proctor's Theater in 2004.

Redevelopment proposal

In the early 2000s, RPI acquired the building and hoped to partially use it as office space and keep the theater. They eventually brought in a developer who proposed to use a state grant to gut the building's interior and replace the auditorium with office space, while keeping the facade. Residents organized a group and online petition in opposition to this, pointing to how successful the restoration of the Schenectady Proctor's had been for that city. The building was structurally sound, and could easily be restored to its original purpose.

Proponents of the plan responded that the theater had not been successfully redeveloped in the years since it had closed and it was time to try something else to revitalize a block of downtown Troy that remained dilapidated. They noted that the Schenectady Proctor's still lost money and that the project would create jobs the city needed in a slow economy.

Restore NY grant
As of March, 2011, the theatre is expected to receive $3.3 million from a "Restore NY" grant. The money would be used by Columbia Development to rehabilitate the theatre building and two adjacent office buildings, including the Chasan Building, which is also owned by RPI.

In October 2011 it was announced that, in a $14.4 million public-private project including a $3.3 million Restore New York grant, Columbia Development Companies would acquire Proctor's Theater and launch a restoration.

Kilry Glen, in Angus, Scotland, is the glen of the Burn of Kilry, a tributary of the River Isla. It is situated west of the B954 road, approximately four miles north of Alyth.

Area history
Considerable evidence of prehistory is apparent in the vicinity; most notably, a number of Pictish stones have been discovered in the general area. Accordingly, one of the largest collections of Pictish Stones in Scotland has been assembled at the Meigle Museum.  As further testimony to the Pictish era, not far is the village of Eassie noted for the presence of the Eassie Stone; this carved Pictish stone is dated prior to the Early Middle Ages.

Residents of previous generations are documented to have served in a number of foreign wars, including the South African War of 1899 to 1902.

Neamț Citadel (, ) is a medieval fortress located in north-eastern part of Romania, near Târgu Neamț, Neamț County. It was built in 14th century Moldavia during Petru I of Moldavia's reign and expanded in the 15th century. The citadel played a key role in Stephen III of Moldavia's defense system, along with Suceava, Hotin, Soroca, Orhei, Tighina, Chilia and Cetatea Albă.

History
Lack of reliable information on the origins of Neamț Fortress had resulted in several hypotheses whose reliability was often questioned. A number of historians and philologists, as A.D. Xenopol, B.P. Hasdeu, D. Onciul consider that - according to the papal bull of 1232 - the Teutonic Knights of Bârsa had built between 1211–1225 on the eastern slope of the Carpathians a castrum muntissimum which was later identified as the citadel. The Germanic (Teutonic or Saxon) hypothesis was acquired by many of Romanian historians and sustained by both:
-the site's onomastic "Neamt", which in Slavonic and Rumanian languages means " German"
-and by the fortification style, typical to Imperial German military architecture of Hohenstaufen period XII-XIV centuries.
The German knights "the Saxons" have been appointed to fortify the Carpathian passes against the frequent barbarian incursions into Transilvania.
The Saxons have been settled in Transilvania (Siebenbürgen- seven castles) since then, 150 years before the founding of later principalities of Valachia and Bogdania(Moldova).

Archaeological research of the citadel has not revealed any evidence of a fortification before the reign of prince Peter II (1375-1391) & oldest coins discovered on the site are from the same reign. The name might be related with the name of the district and later county of Neamț where later ( i.e. early 14th century) Saxon colonists settled in the nearby town of Baia (known then as Moldau).

Kelliphite is an acronym for the organophosphorus compound 6,6'-[(1,1'-Biphenyl-2,2'-diyl)bis(oxy)]bis[4,8-di-tbutyl-1,2,10,11-tetramethyl]dibenzo[d,f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepin. This chiral ligand is widely used in asymmetric synthesis. In one example, this ligand is used to form a rhodium complex to catalyze asymmetric hydroformylation of prochiral olefins. It has been shown that high substrate concentrations as well as a wide variety of functional groups are tolerated.

Joanna Elizabeth Dunham (6 May 1936 – 25 November 2014) was an English actress, best noted for her work on stage and television. She also appeared in several major films.

Career
Dunham was born in Luton, Bedfordshire, the daughter of Peter Browning Dunham (1911–1997), an architect and artist, and Constance Amy Margareta (1911-1992; née Young). Her father's aunt was the Impressionist painter Amy Katherine Browning, who married the artist Thomas Cantrell Dugdale.

Dunham was educated at Bedales School, then the Slade School of Art, and in 1956 she attended RADA, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, the same year as Susannah York and Brian Epstein, who later became the manager of the Beatles.

Dunham first gained notice for playing Juliet in the 1962 Old Vic production of Romeo and Juliet, under the direction of Franco Zeffirelli, which was performed in a five-month, 13-city U.S. tour. She was spotted by Marilyn Monroe, who recommended her to director George Stevens for the role of Mary Magdalen in The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965).

Her first television role had come some years earlier (1958), when she appeared as Louka in the "Arms and the Man" episode of BBC Sunday Night Theatre. As of 1998 Dunham had appeared in at least 45 different television series or productions.

The Hour of the Pig (1993) - Lady Catherine d/Auferre

While working on The Greatest Story Ever Told, the on-site filming of which stretched to over a year, Dunham announced that she was pregnant.

He told an interviewer from Variety, "Well, that Mary Magdalene always was a troublemaker."

In 1974 she appeared in a two part episode of the soap opera 'Rooms' for Thames Television, opposite Ray Brooks.

In 1976, she appeared as a guest artist in an episode of Space 1999 entitled Missing Link, she played the character Vana. She appeared as Arlette van der Valk in the third series of Van der Valk (1977), as Alice Rhodes in an episode of Wicked Women (1970), and as Miss Featherstone in the episode "Goodbye Mrs. Slocombe" in the 10th series of Are You Being Served (1984).

Death
Dunham died on 25 November 2014, aged 78.

Olivia Physical is a 1982 video collection featuring the singer Olivia Newton-John and various of her songs, most from the album Physical. A somewhat expanded version of the video was aired as an ABC prime-time television special, Let's Get Physical, which was in the top 10 of the Nielsen ratings. In 1983 the video received a Grammy Award as Video of the Year.

Legacy
Newton-John was one of the first artists to invest in music videos. The 1978 album Totally Hot was her first one to features videos accompanying all the singles from the album, but they were very simple, being primarily composed of Newton-John singing in the studio. The music videos of the songs on Physical are more complex, and were some of the first to present a plot line, and not just a video of the artist performing the song. According to Olivia Physical video album director, Brian Grant, Newton-John's record company and management were reluctant about the project at first: "I suppose there was a little nervousness at first. But, [Olivia] got us out here because she liked what we had done". Newton-John herself was a supporter of the music video industry, as she commented in a Billboard article about the Olivia Physical production:

"I think this is the way albums will go in the future: visuals with the music. I got to be a different personality and play another side of myself."

Track listing

Note
 The television version has little differences from the home video version. The television version features video interludes starring Olivia, introducing some music videos. The home video version does not, but it features the music videos for "Love Make Me Strong" and "Hopelessly Devoted To You", which were not part of the television version.
