Deep Purple
Deep Purple are an English rock band formed in Hertford in 1968.
The band is considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock, although their musical approach changed over the years.
Originally formed as a psychedelic rock and progressive rock band, the band shifted to a heavier sound in 1970.
Deep Purple, together with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, have been referred to as the "unholy trinity of British hard rock and heavy metal in the early to mid-seventies".
They were listed in the 1975 "Guinness Book of World Records" as "the globe's loudest band" for a 1972 concert at London's Rainbow Theatre and have sold over 100 million copies of their albums worldwide.
Deep Purple have had several line-up changes and an eight-year hiatus (1976–1984).
The 1968–1976 line-ups are commonly labelled
Mark I, II, III and IV.
Their second and most commercially successful line-up consisted of Ian Gillan (vocals), Jon Lord (keyboards, backing vocals), Roger Glover (bass), Ian Paice (drums), and Ritchie Blackmore (guitar).
This line-up was active from 1969 to 1973 and was revived from 1984 to 1989 and again from 1992 to 1993.
The band achieved more modest success in the intervening periods between 1968 and 1969 with the line-up including Rod Evans (lead vocals) and Nick Simper (bass, backing vocals), between 1974 and 1976 with the line-up including David Coverdale (lead vocals) and Glenn Hughes (bass, vocals) (and Tommy Bolin replacing Blackmore in 1975), and between 1989 and 1992 with the line-up including Joe Lynn Turner (vocals).
The band's line-up (currently including Ian Gillan, and guitarist Steve Morse from 1994) has been much more stable in recent years, although keyboardist Jon Lord's retirement from the band in 2002 (being succeeded by Don Airey) left Ian Paice as the only original Deep Purple member still in the band.
Deep Purple were ranked number 22 on VH1's "Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" programme, and a poll on British radio station Planet Rock ranked them 5th among the "most influential bands ever".
The band received the Legend Award at the 2008 World Music Awards.
Deep Purple (specifically Blackmore, Lord, Paice, Gillan, Glover, Coverdale, Evans, and Hughes) were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016.

Purpendicular
Purpendicular is the fifteenth studio album by the English rock band, Deep Purple.
Released in 1996, it is their first album with guitarist Steve Morse from Dixie Dregs, who replaced Ritchie Blackmore; Blackmore, meanwhile, resurrected Rainbow and released the album" Stranger in Us All".
It was recorded at Greg Rike Productions, Orlando, Florida, February to October 1995 and engineered by Darren Schneider and Keith Andrews.
It had a more experimental approach than previous albums.
The arrangement to" The Aviator", for example, employed an acoustic folk/ country arrangement that had not been heard on the band's previous work since" Anyone's Daughter" from" Fireball".
Several of the songs, such as featured smaller keyboard parts, and mainly center on the guitar parts.
Another new addition to the guitar playing was the use of pinch harmonics, very notably used on" Vavoom: Ted the Mechanic" and" Somebody Stole My GuitarSometimes I Feel Like Screaming" and" Vavoom: Ted the Mechanic" remained regular features in Deep Purple's live setlist in recent tours.
Like the title of the band's following album," AbandonPurpendicular" is a pun; in this case, based on the band's name and the word" Perpendicular".
Vavoom: Ted the Mechanic
"Vavoom: Ted the Mechanic" is the first song on "Purpendicular", Deep Purple's first studio album featuring guitarist Steve Morse.
The song is notable for its use of pinch harmonics.
It remained as the first song in the band's live sets after the album's release so that Morse could start the show by playing the first notes of the new album.
Vocalist Ian Gillan has stated that the lyrics are based on the true-life story of a man he once met in a pub during the recording sessions for the 1987 album "The House of Blue Light".
The two started talking, and Gillan wrote down the man's story on some napkins which he then put away and forgot about.
He discovered them years later and they became the basis for the lyrics of "Vavoom: Ted the Mechanic".
The song was a live staple during the "Purpendicular" tour, and was also played during more recent tours as well.
The "Vavoom" in the song's title comes from the end of each verse, where Gillan says the word, leading into the chorus.
On all live albums that feature the song, though, the title is simply listed as "Ted the Mechanic".
Panda (Astro song)
" Panda" is a song of the Chilean band Astro and is the fifth song of the homonymous album of the year 2011.
The song was composed and produced by the singer of the band Andrés Nusser and released like third single of the album on February 1, 2013.

At the end of the song, the singer's lover jumps in to defend the singer, who is confronting his lover's brother( the singer's" sworn enemy") and is killed by the bullet intended for the singer.
Picard v. Barry Pontiac-Buick, Inc.
Picard v. Barry Pontiac- Buick, Inc., 654 A.2d 690( R.I. 1995) is a Rhode Island Supreme Court case often cited in tort law text books to explain the legal concept of battery.
Picard was unhappy about her mechanic's brake inspection and contacted a local television news" troubleshooter" reporter.
When she returned for a reinspection, she took a picture of the mechanic inspecting the brakes on her car.
The mechanic turned around, approached her, pointed his finger at her, and questioned her taking a picture of him.
He intentionally touched her camera with his finger.
Picard claimed that when she spun around her back was injured.
The trial court awarded Picard$ 60,366 in compensatory damages and an additional$ 6,350 in punitive damages.
The Supreme Court held that the mechanic committed battery, because the mechanic caused an offensive or unconsensual touching upon the body of Picard, regardless of the mechanic's intent to injure.
Items attached to or identified with the plaintiff's body, such as the camera, also count.
The court also found that the mechanic committed assault.
The court vacated the award and remanded for a new trial on damages.
