It´s not sufficient to say something was said, you need to have proof. Some sectors carry high risk of liability, and it would be irresponsible not to keep records. Companies have also said that cloud computing has reduced the need for their IT team to maintain infrastructure, which gives them more time to focus on strategy and innovation. The biggest companies made the biggest savings with 23% saying they were saving between £500,000 and £4 million a year. Rackspace Hosting and Manchester Business School´s survey showed that 34% of SMEs have saved between £5,000 and £30,000 on IT by switching to cloud computing.

Anderson-Lopez explained what happened next: "We went for a walk in Prospect Park and threw phrases at each other. The duo took inspiration from the songs of the Disney Renaissance such as The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast and various artists including Adele, Aimee Mann, Avril Lavigne (whose 2002 debut album was titled Let Go), Lady Gaga, and Carole King. The story outline they were given had a place reserved for "Elsa's Badass Song", which was what they were trying to write. "Let It Go" was the first song written by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez for the film that made it in, since songs composed earlier were eventually cut. It's not a perfect thing, but it's powerful." And this concept of letting out who she is that she's kept to herself for so long and she's alone and free, but then the sadness of the fact that the last moment is she's alone. The Daily Telegraph explained that instead of the villain originally envisioned by the producers, the songwriters saw Elsa as "a scared girl struggling to control and come to terms with her gift." When interviewed in January 2014 by John August and Aline Brosh McKenna, Frozen director Jennifer Lee gave her recollection of the song's conception: "Bobby and Kristen said they were walking in Prospect Park, and they just started talking about what would it feel like. History and use in Frozen Background and composition Armin van Buuren produced another remix of the song for the remix album, Dconstructed. The EP features four remixes by Dave Audé, Papercha$er, DJ Escape & Tony Coluccio and Corbin Hayes. Ī remix EP was released digitally by Walt Disney Records on May 19, 2014. Īccording to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, "Let It Go" sold 10.9 million copies in 2014, becoming the year's fifth best-selling song. The song gained international recognition, becoming one of the most globally-recorded Disney songs, with versions sung in 25 different languages for the film's international releases. "Let It Go" reached the top five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and won both the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2014 and the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media in 2015. She sheds her royal accessories, creates a living snowman, and builds an Up in the mountains and away from the townspeople, Elsa realizes that she no longer needs to hide her ability and rejoices in not only being able to use her power freely but also the freedom from others' expectations of her as a royal. The song presents Queen Elsa, who flees her kingdom when she publicly loses control of her ability to generate ice. It was the biggest-selling foreign song from any original soundtrack in South Korea as of March 12, 2014. As of December 2014, the song had sold 3.5 million copies in the US. The song was the ninth-best-selling song of 2014 in the United States, with 3.37 million copies sold in that year. The song is also Menzel's first single to reach the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making her the first Tony Award winner for acting to ever reach the top 10. Williams's " Colors of the Wind" from Pocahontas peaked at number four on the chart. ![]() The song was a commercial success, becoming the first song from a Disney animated musical to reach the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 since 1995, when Vanessa L. A music video was released separately for Lovato's version. Disney's music division planned to release Lovato's version of the song before Menzel's, as they did not consider Menzel's version a traditional pop song. Anderson-Lopez and Lopez also composed a simplified pop version (with shorter lyrics and background chorus) which was performed by actress and singer Demi Lovato over the start of the film's closing credits. It was later released as a single, being promoted to adult contemporary radio by Walt Disney Records in January 2014. The song was performed in its original show-tune version in the film by American actress and singer Idina Menzel in her vocal role as Queen Elsa. " Let It Go" is a song from Disney's 2013 computer-animated feature film Frozen, whose music and lyrics were composed by husband-and-wife songwriting team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.

We draw on numerous brewing traditions to make our beers, but we always add our own "interpretation" of how the styles can be best matched to our - and your - tastes. Our beer styles were created to provide you, our beer-drinking friends, with fresh, fun and interesting choices. We hope that our sense of gratitude is reflected in both the quality of the beer and the spirit of fun and enjoyment surrounding our beer and breweries.Īt Harpoon, we have always worked hard at two things: brewing great beer and welcoming our customers to our breweries. The success that we have had running Harpoon is due entirely to the wonderful employees who brew, package, warehouse, sell, deliver, and market our beer and you, the people who drink Harpoon. Twenty years later we still revel in making great beer and sharing that joy with our friends and neighbors. After our travels, we asked each other, "why not bring great beer and that sense of community to New England?" That was the genesis of the Harpoon Brewery. We also saw firsthand how important local breweries were to their communities. ![]() While traveling in Europe after college, we drank many wonderfully diverse, fresh, local beers. We started the Harpoon Brewery in 1986 because-like today-we loved beer and wanted more good choices. ![]() ![]() My hair takes in a lot of heat! I was so fucked from the heat that I’d sort of taken it in like a solar panel and just basically wilted.” Season 1 pushes back on some of rom-coms’ more annoying tropes, but Season 2 embraces one in particular - to Matafeo’s utter delight. By the time they shot the premiere, “it was fucking hot out, but it was supposed to be winter. “I fully regret not thinking harder about my costume for that last scene of Series 1, not knowing I had to be in it for an entire other episode for Series 2,” she says. If it helps him feel better at all, Matafeo agrees. “I can’t ever wear that jacket again!” he groans. It was so bizarre to be recognized for something that just had come out, in the exact same costume.”Īnd about that same costume: Patel thought he’d be “really clever” by asking wardrobe if he could keep his jacket from that season finale scene without realizing he’d end up needing it again for the premiere, let alone all the Season 2 promos. “We were shooting all that stuff in the same costume in Southbank, which is quite a touristy area in London, and people who’d seen the show were recognizing us. ![]() “We never really originally planned on starting it immediately after, so we just had to go back and get the exact same bus and exact same costumes on,” Matafeo remembers. Making things even more surreal was the fact that Season 1, which ends with Jessie and Tom staying on the bus, came out the day before Season 2, which begins with Jessie and Tom leaving the bus, started filming. Season 2, however, had to figure out how and why these two incredibly different people would choose to stay together. ![]() All Season 1 had to do was show how Jessie and Tom are compatible. While the first season had plenty of rom-com roadmaps to follow, the second had to find more of its own identity. The most interesting stuff of the situation would be the immediate fallout from making such a wild decision.” “It would take all of the air out to have a time jump…there’s so much we’d be missing out on. “We were writing away from the most interesting aspect of what the story is,” says Matafeo. In fact, an early attempt at writing the second season ended with Matafeo and her co-writers (Alice Snedden and Nic Sampson) realizing that they needed to start over. Matafeo and Patel recently spoke to Variety about how the season came together, the emotionally grand (if physically uncomfortable) romantic gesture that ends it, and whether or not we’ve seen the end of “Starstruck.” Starting Season 2 by diving straight into the immediate aftermath of the Season 1 finale wasn’t always the plan. “Season 2 feels a lot funnier to us, anyway.” “It was a lot of fun to just write essentially a nervous breakdown in a relationship,” Matafeo laughs. Picking up mere seconds after Season 1 left off, the premiere follows the couple wandering around London as Jessie melts down, to Tom’s growing frustration. ![]() Season 2 of “Starstruck,” out today on HBO Max, doesn’t waste time before showing what that answer looks like for Jessie and Tom. “With a lot of rom-coms, you get to see the happily ever after,” says Patel, “but then you don’t get to see if and how the wheels fall off when reality kicks in.” It’s downright lovely - but it could also read as a bit more ominous, given the uncertainty of what might happen next (as is befitting, given its inspiration of “The Graduate”’s notoriously bittersweet finale). The music swells, the two turn to each other in stunned joy, and share a relieved kiss. ![]() The season’s final scene sees Jessie and Tom sitting at the back of a bus peeling away from the airport stop. ![]() ![]() ![]() They also found they were able to make good electrical contacts with the boron-arsenic silicon sells. To solve that problem, they tried different impurities, and eventually settled on arsenic and boron, which created a p-n junction that stayed near the surface. Another problem was that at room temperature, lithium migrated through the silicon over time, moving the p-n junction farther away from the incoming sunlight. One problem was the difficulty in making good electrical contacts with the silicon cells. The three then worked for several months on improving the properties of their silicon solar cells. Pearson, who was aware of Chapin’s work, went and told his friend not to waste any more time on selenium solar cells, and Chapin immediately switched to silicon. The ammeter jumped significantly, to their surprise. Pearson then hooked up an ammeter to the piece of silicon and shined a light on it. Pearson dipped it in lithium, creating a p-n junction. Fuller gave Pearson a piece of silicon containing gallium impurities. Meanwhile, Calvin Fuller, a chemist, and Gerald Pearson, a physicist, were working on controlling the properties of semiconductors by introducing impurities. He tried selenium solar cells, but found them too inefficient. Chapin investigated several alternative energy sources, and settled on solar power as one of the most promising. In 1953, engineer Daryl Chapin, who had previously been working on magnetic materials at Bell Labs, was trying to develop a source of power for telephone systems in remote humid locations, where dry cell batteries degraded too quickly. The first practical silicon solar cell was created thirteen years later by a team of scientists working together at Bell Labs. Ohl patented his solar cell, which was about one percent efficient. When the cell is hooked up in a circuit, an incoming photon that hits the cell can then give an electron a kick and start current flowing. Excess positive charge builds up on one side of the p-n barrier, and excess negative charge builds up on the other side of the barrier, creating an electric field. Ohl had inadvertently made a p-n junction, the basis of a solar cell. This crack, which had probably formed when the sample was made, actually marked the boundary between regions containing different levels of impurities, so one side was positively doped and the other side negatively doped. He noticed that in this particular sample, current flowed through this sample when it was exposed to light. He had been investigating some silicon samples, one of which had a crack in the middle. ![]() The next major advance in solar cell technology was made in 1940 by Russell Shoemaker Ohl, a semiconductor researcher at Bell Labs. Some research on selenium photovoltaics continued for the next several decades, and a few applications were found, but they were not put to widespread use. Though Fritts had hoped his solar cells might compete with Edison’s coal-fired power plants, they were less than one percent efficient at converting sunlight to electricity and thus not very practical. In 1883, American inventor Charles Fritts made the first solar cells from selenium. Several decades later, in 1873, Willoughby Smith, an English engineer, discovered the photoconductivity of selenium while testing materials for underwater telegraph cables. French physicist Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel, son of physicist Antoine Cesar Becquerel and father of physicist Henri Becquerel, was working with metal electrodes in an electrolyte solution when he noticed that small electric currents were produced when the metals were exposed to light, but he couldn’t explain the effect. The story of solar cells goes back to an early observation of the photovoltaic effect in 1839. In April, 1954, researchers at Bell Laboratories demonstrated the first practical silicon solar cell. ![]() Solar cells, which convert sunlight into electrical current, had their beginnings more than a hundred years ago, though early solar cells were too inefficient to be of much use.

But his post-mayoral pursuits of quick cash to support lavish spending have become the stuff of legend. He added that despite the large sums other lawyers were pulling in for their lobbying, “I have enough money. At the time of the Times’ report, Giuliani “rejected the portrayal of events,” saying that “he had made clear that he did not work on clemency cases” because of his role as Trump’s attorney. Kiriakou told The New York Times that at one point while Giuliani went to the bathroom, one of his confidants said the former mayor could help - but “it’s going to cost $2 million - he’s going to want two million bucks.”Īn associate of Kiriakou reportedly flagged the conversation to the FBI, but it’s unclear whether anything was done with the tip. Roughly a year after he allegedly asked Dunphy about potential pardon recipients, Giuliani was reportedly part of a meeting at Trump International Hotel with a former CIA officer named John Kiriakou. Parnas eventually flipped on Trump and Giuliani during the first impeachment, handing over reams of texts, emails and other evidence to Congress.īut as my MSNBC colleague Jordan Rubin noted Tuesday, Dunphy isn’t the only person to have claimed that Giuliani was in the business of selling pardons. Parnas was a key facilitator to the work Giuliani was doing in Ukraine to strong-arm the country into investigating Joe Biden and his son Hunter. That overlap in timing matters when you consider that Dunphy’s lawyer, Justin Kelton, told MSNBC on Monday night that a former Giuliani associate named Lev Parnas was present for the exchange and could most likely corroborate the claim. At the same time, he was already deep in the scheme to extort Ukraine that would culminate in Trump’s first impeachment later that year. Given that Giuliani and Dunphy’s alleged conversation took place in February 2019, according to the complaint, it seems Giuliani was ahead of the curve. Accordingly, in the waning days of his term, lobbyists and lawyers close to the administration were raking in thousands of dollars in consulting fees in exchange for a chance to get their clients’ names on the president’s desk. ![]() ![]() As of early December 2020, Trump had granted clemency just 45 times, a record low for that point in a presidency. Right-wing celebrities and prominent Trump supporters were some of the only beneficiaries of the president’s nearly unchecked pardon power. For most of Trump’s tenure, the normal channels for requesting a pardon or a commutation had become massively clogged. ![]() |
