him to do.
Columbia gave Kelly almost complete control over the making of this film, and many of his ideas contributed to its lasting success. He removed several of the soundstage walls so that he, Hayworth, and Silvers could dance along an entire street in one take. He also used trick photography so that he could dance with his own reflection in the sequence "Alter-Ego Dance", achieved using superimposition to give his "double" a ghost-like quality. Kelly, along with Stanley Donen, devised the choreography. Film historians consider "Cover Girl" the point where Kelly hit his stride in a musical role that foreshadowed the best of his future work.
The film was Hayworth's fourth musical: the | 6,137,200 |
2569219 | Cover Girl (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cover%20Girl%20(film) | Cover Girl (film)
first two she had done opposite Fred Astaire. Hayworth's singing voice was dubbed by Martha Mears.
"Cover Girl" was Columbia's first Technicolor musical, and songwriter Arthur Schwartz's first venture into producing. The film was a big hit, and made stars out of both Hayworth and Kelly. The success of "Cover Girl" caused MGM to pay closer attention to Kelly as a viable property, and they allowed him to create his own dance numbers for his next film, "Anchors Aweigh" (1945), also starring Frank Sinatra. Columbia bought the film rights to "Pal Joey", which Kelly had done on Broadway, hoping to pair up Kelly and Hayworth again, but MGM refused to loan him out, and instead the film was made with | 6,137,201 |

2569253 | Hdparm | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hdparm | Hdparm
Hdparm
hdparm is a command line program for Linux to set and view ATA hard disk drive hardware parameters and test performance. It can set parameters such as drive caches, sleep mode, power management, acoustic management, and DMA settings. GParted and Parted Magic both include "hdparm".
Changing hardware parameters from suboptimal conservative defaults to their optimal settings can improve performance greatly. For example, turning on DMA can, in some instances, double or triple data throughput. There is, however, no reliable method for determining the optimal settings for a given controller-drive combination, except careful trial and error.
"hdparm" has a serious drawback: With certain parameters, | 6,137,226 |
2569253 | Hdparm | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hdparm | Hdparm
it can crash a computer and make data on its disk inaccessible. Several of the 67 parameters are dangerous and could result in massive filesystem corruption if used indiscriminately.
# Usage examples.
hdparm has to be run with special privileges, otherwise it will either not be found or the requested actions will not be executed properly.
Display information of the hard drive:
Turn on DMA for the first hard drive:
Test device read performance speed (-t for timing buffered disk reads) of the first hard drive:
Enable energy saving spindown after inactivity (24*5=120 seconds):
To retain hdparm settings after a software reset, run:
Enable read-ahead:
If the disk is constantly too noisy, | 6,137,227 |
2569253 | Hdparm | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hdparm | Hdparm
you can change its acoustic management at the cost of read/write performance (Some drives, such as newer WD drives and all SSDs, ignore this setting.):
If the disk synchronisation intervals are too short, then even small amounts of data will be written to disk which can have severe consequences for its lifespan. The better way would be to collect small data into bigger chunks and wait until the chunk is big enough to be written to disk.
Current web browsers like Chrome write regularly small chunks when browsing in order not to lose any important data when the application crashes. However, this lets the disk spin very often as the drive repeatedly needs to unleash and then park its heads. The | 6,137,228 |
2569253 | Hdparm | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hdparm | Hdparm
generated noises can be thus regarded as distracting by the user. To circumvent this issue, you can switch the drive to the lowest degree of power management (next value, 255, turns power management off):
Additionally, changing the value of /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs can have an effect on the performance. It sets the flush interval when dirty pages are written to disk.
Note that all these commands are only effective in the long-run, if you make the changes persistent. However, the settings you can set via hdparm are reverted each time you reboot. Therefore, it might be wise to restore the personal settings upon boot. An appropriate place that exists in most Linux distributions is | 6,137,229 |

If you choose to walk, one of the best places to start is in Old Perithia, Corfu's oldest village, where it takes approximately 2 hours round trip. The village of Old Perithia dates back to the 14th century and the 'Perithians' helped build the original monastery using local wood and limestone. The village of Old Perithia (and the now abandoned village of Sinies) can be seen from Pantokrator and with its 130 house and 8 churches Old Perithia is said to sit at the foot of Pantokrator, 'The | 6,137,233 |

The village of Old Perithia (and the now abandoned village of Sinies) can be seen from Pantokrator and with its 130 house and 8 churches Old Perithia is said to sit at the foot of Pantokrator, 'The Almighty.' The walk to Pantokrator is also part of The Corfu Trail, an established walking guide around the island of Corfu, although they fail to maintain the paths, so walks such as Perithia to Mt. Pantokrator are now nearly impossible to detect.

Rebévelier
Rebévilier is a municipality in the Jura bernois administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland. It is located in the French-speaking Bernese Jura ("Jura Bernois").
# History.
Rebévelier is first mentioned in 1181 as "Robervilier".
The noble Rebévelier family appears in historic records during the 13th and 14th centuries. For most of its history, the village was owned by Bellelay Abbey under the Prince-Bishop of Basel. Until the Protestant Reformation of 1531, it was part of the parish of Sapran. However, Rebévelier remained Catholic when the surrounding communities converted. Rebévelier became part of the parish of Undervelier, while Les Cerniers joined the parish | 6,137,235 |
2569239 | Rebévelier | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rebévelier | Rebévelier
of Saulcy. After the 1797 French victory and the Treaty of Campo Formio, Rebévelier became part of the French Département of Mont-Terrible. Three years later, in 1800 it became part of the Département of Haut-Rhin. After Napoleon's defeat and the Congress of Vienna, Rebévelier was assigned to the Canton of Bern in 1815.
By the end of the 19th century, most of the French-speaking Catholic residents had moved away and the village was now German speaking and Mennonite. In 1974-75, during the voting that led to the creation of the Canton of Jura, Rebévelier wished to remain part of the Canton of Bern. Therefore, in 1976, they were administratively moved from the Delémont district into the Moutier | 6,137,236 |
2569239 | Rebévelier | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rebévelier | Rebévelier
district so they could remain in Bern.

Records in Contexts
Records in Contexts, or RiC, is a conceptual model and ontology for the archival description of records, designed by the Expert Group on Archival Description (EGAD) established by the International Council on Archives (ICA). The EGAD initially began work on the standard between 2012 and 2016, with a conceptual model (RiC-CM) and an ontology (RiC-O) released for comment during 2016.
# Content.
The Conceptual Model aims to bring together the Council's current descriptive standards, namely the General International Standard Archival Description (ISAD(G)), International Standard Archival Authority Records — Corporate Bodies, Persons, and Families (ISAAR(CPF)), International | 6,137,245 |
54001388 | Records in Contexts | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Records%20in%20Contexts | Records in Contexts
Standard Description of Functions (ISDF), and International Standard Description of Institutions with Archival Holdings (ISDIAH). RiC also aims to be better suited to the management of electronic records than previous standards, whilst still supporting traditional analogue materials. It defines the primary descriptive entities of the model, and how these interrelate within archival description. RiC also aims to modernise the aging current standards, by enabling archival description to better capture the complex relationships records have with each other, and with their creators, holders, and subjects. These groups, individuals, and organisations are referred to as "agents" in RiC. Through these | 6,137,246 |
54001388 | Records in Contexts | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Records%20in%20Contexts | Records in Contexts
relationships, RiC aims to provide a richer descriptive context than the hierarchical structure of ISAD(G).
# Response.
The conceptual model was published for comment in 2016. Among the responses, some have shown confusion as to how it should be applied in practice. A consultation meeting of the Archives and Records Association's Archives and Technology group expressed uncertainty over how the conceptual model should be interpreted by the profession, and how they would engage with and benefit from it in the future.
In their response, the InterPARES Trust state that a more inclusive development process should have been used given the potentially international application of the model, referring | 6,137,247 |
54001388 | Records in Contexts | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Records%20in%20Contexts | Records in Contexts
rom it in the future.
In their response, the InterPARES Trust state that a more inclusive development process should have been used given the potentially international application of the model, referring especially to the under-representation of Africa and Asia (acknowledged by EGAD in their introduction to the RiC-CM). Their response also questions the integration of the entire suite of current ICA descriptive standards without first gauging the extent to which these are currently implemented globally.
# OWL Ontology.
Although in the future EGAD will develop an OWL ontology called RiC-O to represent RiC-CM, there is already an ontology proposal based on the draft of the conceptual model. | 6,137,248 |

# History.
## Formation and "Safety, Fun, and Learning" (2000–2004).
We Are Scientists members Keith Murray and Chris Cain met in 1997 at Pomona College, in Claremont, CA, but initially enjoyed a friendship based on attending stand-up comedy. In early 2000, after graduating and moving to Berkeley, CA, they hatched the idea for the band. Their roommate and fellow Pomona College alum Scott Lamb was a co-founder, and the original guitarist for the band. Keith was on drums, though he also sang roughly half the songs, not unlike Phil Collins in Genesis. Keith and | 6,137,252 |
2569190 | We Are Scientists | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=We%20Are%20Scientists | We Are Scientists
Chris moved back to the L.A. area in late 2000 (without Scott) and recruited drummer Michael Tapper, whom they'd known during their time at Pomona, and who was in his last year at adjoining Harvey Mudd College. In 1999 the members moved to Berkeley, California for a short period of time, becoming We Are Scientists full-time, a name which the band have stated a number of origins for, most notably the song "We are Scientists!" from the pivotal '90s band Cap'n Jazz. They have also given the following story: they rented a truck from U-Haul. When they returned it, the inspector, after looking them up and down and assessing their wardrobe, asked if they were scientists.
The band moved to Brooklyn, | 6,137,253 |
2569190 | We Are Scientists | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=We%20Are%20Scientists | We Are Scientists
New York in 2001 and began recording their debut album on November 10, 2001. The band finished recording in January 2002, completing 12 tracks - two of which credit former member Scott Lamb. The album's title was announced on March 14, 2002 on the band's official website as "Safety, Fun, and Learning (In That Order)" for release in April 2002 through the band's own label, Devious Semantics. Due to issues with setting up their own label, it wasn't until June that the band were able to release the record. The summer saw them reunite with original vocalist Scott Lamb. In October after several months of performing in California and New York, amongst other places the band recorded their first EP, | 6,137,254 |

In March 2003 the band announced they would be heading to the recording studio with Paolo DeGregorio on April 1 to record a second EP; In Action, which was released through MotherWest records in October 2003, featuring 6 tracks.
A year after recording "In Action" the band headed once more to the recording studio with Los Angeles-based producer Chris Fudurich, where they recorded rough versions of "The Great Escape", "Scene Is Dead" and "This Means War", which would make up half of the band's final independently released | 6,137,255 |
2569190 | We Are Scientists | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=We%20Are%20Scientists | We Are Scientists
EP The Wolf's Hour, other tracks included "Callbacks Under The Sea", "Inaction" and "Nobody Move, Nobody Gets Hurt". The EP was released on November 26, 2004.
## "With Love and Squalor" and breakthrough success (2005–2006).

## Departure of Michael Tapper and "Brain Thrust Mastery" (2007–2009).
In January 2007 Murray announced that he had begun working on the band's follow-up to "With Love and Squalor" in Brooklyn, | 6,137,259 |
2569190 | We Are Scientists | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=We%20Are%20Scientists | We Are Scientists
New York, previewing "Impatience" and "Spoken For" later that month. During a UK tour that February they debuted the songs "Dinosaurs", "Chick Lit" and "Best Behavior". Recording of the new album began on June 11 in California with Ariel Rechtshaid and ended on July 19. That August the band made their second appearance at the Reading and Leeds Festivals, performing on the Radio One Stage.
September 2007 saw the band hire Max Hart as an additional guitarist and keyboard player for live performances. The addition of Hart was to fit the larger arrangements of new material. Days before the tour was due to start, drummer Michael Tapper quit the band. Gary Powell and Adam Aaronson took over from | 6,137,260 |
2569190 | We Are Scientists | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=We%20Are%20Scientists | We Are Scientists
Tapper for the remainder of the tour. For eight of their November tour dates the band acted as their own support act, conducting "self-improvement seminars" under the name Brain Thrust Mastery.
After Virgin merged in 2007, the band were now signed to EMI. Murray stated that the band had to deal with a lot of bureaucracy recording the new album, with EMI unhappy that they were working with producer Ariel Rechtshaid; who at the time was relatively unknown. EMI instead tried setting the band up with various ""cheesy, cheesy, big producers who we didn't like at all"". Ultimately, against their labels wishes the band did record with Rechtshaid and in March 2008 the band announced that "Brain Thrust | 6,137,261 |
2569190 | We Are Scientists | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=We%20Are%20Scientists | We Are Scientists
Mastery" would also be the name of their new album. Garrett Ray handled drum duties for the album. The first single from the record, "After Hours", was to be released on March 3 in the UK. The album was previewed a week before its UK release on NME.com. It came out in the United States on May 13.
"Chick Lit" was released as the second single from "Brain Thrust Mastery" on June 9, coinciding with performances at The Great Escape Festival, Oxegen Festival Glastonbury Festival, T in the Park and Reading and Leeds on the main stage, and a consequent North American tour in July. In the latter part of 2008 the band toured the US as support to Kings of Leon in the USA. "Impatience" was the final single | 6,137,262 |
2569190 | We Are Scientists | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=We%20Are%20Scientists | We Are Scientists
from the album, released on October 27.
## "Barbara" (2010–2011).
Having worked with a number of different drummers since Michael Tapper's departure in 2007, the band announced that Andy Burrows would be joining them for recording and touring. The band had originally intended on using a succession of drummers on their fourth album; however after Burrows left his band Razorlight, he became their permanent drummer. In February 2010 they announced that their new record would be titled "Barbara" and would be released on June 14, 2010. This would also be the first release through the band's own label, Master Swan Recordings, with distribution handled by PIAS Recordings.
Burrows made his live debut | 6,137,263 |
2569190 | We Are Scientists | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=We%20Are%20Scientists | We Are Scientists
with the band at a surprise NME awards show at Camden Barfly on February 21, 2010. Demonstrating the more stripped-back guitar-centric sound of Barbara, the band were now performing predominately as a three-piece, without Max Hart, although Hart amongst other musicians would occasionally feature at live shows for performances of "After Hours". As Burrows was involved in a number of other projects, the band hired Danny Allen to perform and tour with them, with Allen occasionally handling keyboards at shows where Burrows was drumming. The band released their first single from Barbara on April 5, 2010, titled "Rules Don't Stop", which peaked at number 14 in the UK Singles Chart. A second single | 6,137,264 |
2569190 | We Are Scientists | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=We%20Are%20Scientists | We Are Scientists
"Nice Guys" was released on June 7, the week before the release of album "Barbara". The band would make appearances at a number of major festivals that summer, including T in the Park, Glastonbury Festival and Reading and Leeds Festivals. Days after the album release on June 10, 2010, the band released their World Cup Anthem "Goal! England!" in support of the England national team's campaign in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
In August 2010, We Are Scientists and Ash notably co-headlined two show in Australia as well as performing at Splendour in the Grass in Woodford, Queensland. At their two co-headline shows the bands came together to form "WASH"; performing a number of covers together as an encore | 6,137,265 |
2569190 | We Are Scientists | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=We%20Are%20Scientists | We Are Scientists
set. A year later the two bands came together again to release a cover of a track called "Washington Parks" by Robert Manning. The track was covered to help raise money for Multiple Sclerosis Society. The final single to be taken from "Barbara" was "I Don't Bite" which was released on October 11, 2010.
## "Business Casual" and "TV en Français" (2011–2014).
A new album was first teased by the band at The Isle of Weight Festival 2011, where Murray suggested the band would be recording in Autumn that year. It was in 2012 that the band actually began recording new material, working with producer Chris Coady in New York City, where both Keith Murray & Chris Cain reside. The band worked in a number | 6,137,266 |

of New York studios, predominately The Magic Shop, DNA Studio and Ash's home studio Atomic Heart. In December 2012 that drummer Andy Burrows confirmed that they had finished work on their new album, with intent to release in "early 2013".
Due to the fact the band had recorded without a record label, and had also fired their management after "Barbara", the band then spent a lot of 2013 label shopping and looking for new management. Realising they would be unable to put the album out that year, the band released a two-track single featuring the songs "Something About You" and "Let Me Win". The single was released through their own record label Master Swan Records and Neon Gold Records on July | 6,137,267 |

16. New material was further previewed across a string of UK tour dates in July. Eventually the band signed to release the finished album with 100% Records, putting out a "teaser" EP titled "Business Casual" on October 14, 2013. The EP includes lead singles "Return the Favor" and "Dumb Luck" along with album off cut "Good Answer", a demo of new track "Courage" and a cover of Berlin's "Take My Breath Away" - which features "occasional scientist" Max Hart on pedal-steel guitar. Andy Burrows had recorded drums for the album and subsequent EP and singles, but by the time the band were eventually able to release and tour Burrows was busy with his solo-career. This led to Keith Carne taking over the | 6,137,268 |
2569190 | We Are Scientists | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=We%20Are%20Scientists | We Are Scientists
majority of live commitments, with Burrows stepping in for occasional dates, depending on his availability.
In January 2014, the band announced that the album would finally be released on March 3, 2014 through 100% Records and would be titled "TV en Français". Accompanying the album announcement was the music video for new single "Dumb Luck". Soon after the announcement the band revealed another new track titled "Make it Easy", which was made available to download to those who pre-ordered the album. The band appeared for a third time on "The Late Show with David Letterman" on May 21, 2015, performing single "Make It Easy".

a new track titled "Distillery" which would accompany a new Surfer Blood track on a split-single, available at shows on the tour.
As part of Record Store Day 2015 the band would release "TV en Français, Sous la Mer" through Dine Alone Records. "TV en Français, Under the Sea" would feature eight reworked tracks from "TV en Français", with a stripped back arrangement. The reworked version "Overreacting" was released as a music video on 8 April 2015.
## "Helter Seltzer" (2015–2017).

2569190 | We Are Scientists | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=We%20Are%20Scientists | We Are Scientists
of the albums tracks in sessions for a songwriting club called 'Song Challenge', with Cain describing it as a collective who compete to each write 10 songs in 8 hours and drink beer. The collective also includes Tim Wheeler from Ash, Annie Hart from Au Revoir Simone and MGMT's Simon O'Connor.

# Style and performance.
Keith Murray has cited the influence of such performers as The Rapture and David Bowie on their debut album. The band has noted that tracks on "With Love and Squalor" were largely written to be performed live, whilst "Brain Thrust | 6,137,272 |
2569190 | We Are Scientists | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=We%20Are%20Scientists | We Are Scientists
Mastery" was a more specifically studio effort. Older influences include Brian Eno, Velvet Underground, My Bloody Valentine and David Bowie's as well as Hall & Oates and Fleetwood Mac.
Murray and Cain are known for incorporating comedy into their live performances, music videos and when giving interviews. Their live and interview "banter" is always off-the-cuff, with Murray insisting that the thought of ever rehearsing or reusing material makes him "cringe".
The band come up with all of their music video concepts themselves, with the exception of "I Don't Bite" which was conceived by their friend Dan Monick. Earlier in the band's career they frequently collaborated with Akiva Schaffer of The | 6,137,273 |

2569276 | Argentine cumbia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Argentine%20cumbia | Argentine cumbia
Argentine cumbia
Argentine cumbia is an umbrella term that comprises several distinct trends within the same tradition: the dance and music style known as cumbia in Argentina.
Originally from Colombia, Cumbia has been well-known and appreciated in Argentina for a long time, but it gained nationwide scope and attention when it became popular among the lower-class people in main urban centers, the large cities of the Río de la Plata basin, in the 1990s.
Among the most important cumbia bands and singers that popularized the genre are Ráfaga, La Nueva Luna, Amar Azul, Gilda, and other traditional cumbia bands like Los Palmeras, Cali and Los Leales. Chocolate had similar success across the water | 6,137,277 |
2569276 | Argentine cumbia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Argentine%20cumbia | Argentine cumbia
in Uruguay.
Most bands are composed of synthesizer keyboards as main instruments, electronic sounds and percussion, and a musical score very charged with vocal harmonies, bells, and trumpets (usually electronically synthesized).
# History.
In the 1990s, cumbia first found a place among the lower classes, who attended large dancing halls called "bailantas", often to listen and watch live concerts by cumbia groups. Some bands, most notably Ráfaga, chose a glamorous style with theatrically presented messages about romantic love and sensuality, hope and despair. Others took to more explicit themes, such as sex, alcohol abuse and the cumbia subculture itself, often in a very light, irreverent | 6,137,278 |
2569276 | Argentine cumbia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Argentine%20cumbia | Argentine cumbia
style, sometimes intentionally humorous.
The rhythm and themes of cumbia then spread to the whole of society, as its romantic and humorous manifestations were adopted to lighten up parties and other social events.
Around the beginning of the 2000s, probably influenced by the Argentine economic crisis, romantic cumbia drifted slowly away from the spotlight, while the rest of the bands slowly gave way to the much more aggressive cumbia villera ("shantytown cumbia") -with lyrics that explored the themes of crime and drug abuse-, which was from the start mostly restricted to the urban lower classes. The musical influences of Cumbia Villera are Peruvian Cumbia and Cumbia Sonidera from Mexico.
Over | 6,137,279 |
2569276 | Argentine cumbia | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Argentine%20cumbia | Argentine cumbia
60 years of history, cumbia in Argentina was heavily influenced by other Argentine folkloric kinds of music, like chamamé, guaracha, and cuarteto. Cumbia songs tell stories about love and experiences of common people.
Cumbia in Argentina also has different styles depending on the country region, like norteña, santafesina, cordobesa, sonidera, and other more recent styles like cumbia-rap and cumbia villera.
In the present, cumbia bands play electric guitars, bass guitars, electronic percussion and synthesizers, all common instruments of rock bands, and there are also other instruments like bongos, trumpets, accordions, etc...
The clothing is also a very important characteristic of cumbia bands. | 6,137,280 |

a bands. Each band has its own way of dressing, usually all members of the band wear the same special costume or exclusive clothes.
In the late 2000s a new brand of cumbia that could be defined as Argentine cumbia became popular in some clubs in Buenos Aires, most notably Zizek Club, led by artists such as El Remolón, Fauna, Chancha via Circuito and Tremor. These artists, who focused on electronic productions featuring the cumbia rhythm, began releasing records largely on the ZZK Records imprint and achieved some international exposure, with their style of music being labelled as digital cumbia.

Pink Floyd discography
The discography of Pink Floyd, a British rock band, consists of fifteen studio albums, three live albums, nine compilation albums, four box sets, five extended plays, and twenty-seven singles.
Formed in 1965, Pink Floyd initially earned recognition for their psychedelic or space rock music, and, as they evolved, for their progressive rock music. They are known for philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, innovative cover art, and elaborate live shows. One of rock music's most successful acts, the group have sold over 250 million albums worldwide, including 75 million units sold in the United States alone.
As a psychedelic band led by Syd Barrett in the late 1960s, | 6,137,282 |
2569278 | Pink Floyd discography | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pink%20Floyd%20discography | Pink Floyd discography
Pink Floyd had moderate mainstream success and were one of the most popular bands in the London underground music scene; however, Barrett's erratic behaviour eventually forced his colleagues to replace him with guitarist and singer David Gilmour. After Barrett's departure, the band released a soundtrack album ("More") and subsequently "Ummagumma". The album was released as a double disc, the first disc containing songs performed live, the second containing new studio-recorded songs. Singer and bass player Roger Waters gradually became the dominant and driving force in the mid-1970s, until his departure from the group in 1985. The band recorded several albums, achieving worldwide success with | 6,137,283 |
2569278 | Pink Floyd discography | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pink%20Floyd%20discography | Pink Floyd discography
"The Dark Side of the Moon" (1973), "Wish You Were Here" (1975), "Animals" (1977), and "The Wall" (1979); all except "Animals" reached number one in the US. "The Dark Side of the Moon" is one of the best-selling albums in the world and "The Wall" is the highest-certified multiple-disc album by the Recording Industry Association of America. In 1986, Waters declared Pink Floyd "a spent force" and sued to dissolve their partnership and retire the name Pink Floyd, but the remaining members, led by Gilmour, continued recording and touring under the name Pink Floyd. Following an out-of-court settlement, the band enjoyed worldwide success with "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" (1987), "The Division Bell" | 6,137,284 |

Roches is a municipality in the Jura bernois administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland. It is located in the French-speaking Bernese Jura ("Jura Bernois").
# History.

In 1817 Célestin Châtelain acquired the factory and operated it until its closure in 1840. Two years later, he opened the Verrerie de Moutier glass factory in nearby Moutier, which grew to become the most important window glass company in Switzerland. Even while the glass factory was in operation, the village remained generally agrarian. In 1876 the Basel-Moutier railroad opened a station in Roches and the village became a local industrial center.
