A party is a gathering of people who have been invited by a host for the purposes of socializing, conversation, recreation, or as part of a festival or other commemoration of a special occasion. A party will typically feature food and beverages, and often music and dancing or other forms of entertainment. In many Western countries, parties for teens and adults are associated with drinking alcohol such as beer, wine or distilled spirits.
Some parties are held in honor of a specific person, day, or event, such as a birthday party, a Super Bowl party, or a St. Patrick’s Day party. Parties of this kind are often called celebrations. A party is not necessarily a private occasion. Public parties are sometimes held in restaurants, pubs, beer gardens, nightclubs or bars, and people attending such parties may be charged an admission fee by the host. Large parties in public streets may celebrate events such as Mardi Gras or the signing of a peace treaty ending a long war.
The Mighty Boosh's third series was originally broadcast between 15 November 2007 and 20 December 2007. The series features five main cast members; Julian Barratt, Noel Fielding, Rich Fulcher, Michael Fielding and Dave Brown. The third series revolves around Howard Moon and Vince Noir (Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding), and the adventures they have whilst running a second-hand shop. A DVD of the series was released on 11 February 2008 in Region 2 and 7 August in Region 4.
Whereas the second series was set mainly in a flat in Dalston, England, the third series was set in a second hand shop below the flat called the Nabootique, owned by Naboo, and run by Howard Moon and Vince Noir. The flat, however, is re-used for most of the setting of the episode "Party".
Series 3 had the smallest budget of all three series to date. Filming for the series took place in seven weeks, from July to September 2007, in a warehouse in a disused Ministry of Defence site in Surrey, England.
"Party" is a song recorded by American singer Beyoncé for her fourth studio album, 4 (2011). It features guest vocals from American rapper André 3000, and was released by Columbia Records as the third single from 4 on August 30, 2011. The song was written by Kanye West, Jeff Bhasker, Beyoncé, Dexter Mills, Douglas Davis and Ricky Walters and produced by Beyoncé and West and co-produced by Bhasker. A midtempo R&B song, "Party" exhibits elements of the 1980s funk and soul music, and samples the 1985 song "La Di Da Di". It recalls the work of New Edition and Prince, among others. Built on a 808-retro beat, multi-tracked harmonies, and a smooth groove, the song's instrumentation includes slow-bouncing synthesizers, keyboard tones, and drums. Lyrically, "Party" gives ode to political themes such as feminism and sexual empowerment. In his rap verses, André 3000 references milk and gets philosophical about his own career. "Party" was nominated for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the 54th Grammy Awards.
In mathematics, a connection is a device that defines a notion of parallel transport on the bundle; that is, a way to "connect" or identify fibers over nearby points. A principal G-connection on a principal G-bundle P over a smooth manifold M is a particular type of connection which is compatible with the action of the group G.
A principal connection can be viewed as a special case of the notion of an Ehresmann connection, and is sometimes called a principal Ehresmann connection. It gives rise to (Ehresmann) connections on any fiber bundle associated to P via the associated bundle construction. In particular, on any associated vector bundle the principal connection induces a covariant derivative, an operator that can differentiate sections of that bundle along tangent directions in the base manifold. Principal connections generalize to arbitrary principal bundles the concept of a linear connection on the frame bundle of a smooth manifold.
Let π:P→M be a smooth principal G-bundle over a smooth manifold M. Then a principal G-connection on P is a differential 1-form on P with values in the Lie algebra of G which is G-equivariant and reproduces the Lie algebra generators of the fundamental vector fields on P.
Let be an affine bundle modelled over a vector bundle
. A connection
on
is called the affine connection if it as a section
of the jet bundle
of
is an affine bundle morphism over
. In particular, this is the case of an affine connection on the tangent bundle
of a smooth manifold
.
With respect to affine bundle coordinates on
, an affine connection
on
is given by the tangent-valued connection form
An affine bundle is a fiber bundle with a general affine structure group of affine transformations of its typical fiber
of dimension
. Therefore, an affine connection is associated to a principal connection. It always exists.
For any affine connection , the corresponding linear derivative
of an affine morphism
defines a
unique linear connection on a vector bundle
. With respect to linear bundle
coordinates
on
, this connection reads
Since every vector bundle is an affine bundle, any linear connection on a vector bundle also is an affine connection.
If is a vector bundle, both an affine connection
and an associated linear connection
are
connections on the same vector bundle
, and their
difference is a basic soldering form on
. Thus, every affine
connection on a vector bundle
is a sum of a linear
connection and a basic soldering form on
.
"Connection" is a song released by the Britpop group Elastica. It was originally released in 1994 as a single and the album version was not released until 1995 on their self-titled debut.
The song was the subject of controversy, due to its overt similarity to another band's work. The intro synthesizer part (later repeated as a guitar figure) is lifted from the guitar riff in Wire's "Three Girl Rhumba" and transposed down a semitone. A judgment resulted in an out-of-court settlement and the credits were rewritten.
The song is the theme to the UK television programme Trigger Happy TV. A live version of the song was featured on the MuchMusic live compilation album, Much at Edgefest '99.
The song was covered by Elastica's label-mates Collapsed Lung and released as a seven-inch vinyl single in 1995.
You say you party, Ay! / We say it's life, uh huh / You plan a weekend, but see we do this every single night (2x)
I'm stepping out, night life, here I come another one / for the book I'm on the lookout for a number one / To get her done, fresh gear spearmint a rubber band / damn my pockets fat so shots for my number 10s / 8 and 9s, under 7s go look for the other dude / no drama I'm just P.U.I, don't mind my attitude / my eyes are glued on a sexy body and she all good / money all around my dear, we living like we all should / and we all could arrange a get together / get away from here to party two I'll get to know you better / I'd say you better, don't wanna miss this opportunity / orbiting a star mah, us and them, you and me / she flew with me, live it up a night so incomparable / we rock star status, she couldn't recall I think she scared to know / let her go with just a dose but soon it had to end / cause for us we keep moving sunrise sunset do it all again
