In telecommunication, an information-transfer transaction is a coordinated sequence of user and telecommunications system actions that cause information present at a source user to become present at a destination user.
Note: An information-transfer transaction usually consists of three consecutive phases called the access phase, the information transfer phase, and the disengagement phase.

Ekhymosis, was a Colombian rock band formed by Juan Esteban “Juanes” Aristizábal Vásquez, along with friends Andrés García, Fernando “Toby” Tobón and José David Loperafrom Medellín. The band was created in 1988 with heavy influences from Metallica and other important metal acts of the 80s, as well as some popular Latino music.

Career
Even since their beginning as a rock band, Ekhymosis showed the same pro-latino lyrics as Kraken (band). After some live performances to become known in their city (and more regions of Colombia), the band recorded a demo of two songs, which described the violence in Medellín and the injustice of innocent deaths and other problems in Colombia. The demo sold out (thanks to friends and family of the band), and they decided to record a second. This time Ekhymosis had luck: In the studio was a Codiscos representative; she heard and liked the demo and the band signed with that label.
1993 saw the release of Niño Gigante, a heavy metal album that included one of the band’s most well known songs, “Solo”.
Controversy and the term “sell-out” surrounded the band with their next release: 1994’s “Ciudad Pacífico” produced by Federico López, a more hard rock-oriented record with more Latin sounds. Ekhymosis was looking for their unique sound; they didn’t want to be the “Spanish Metallica”. Rather, they wanted to create Colombian rock.
In the following year, 1995, the band with its two new members, released “Amor Bilingüe”, topping the Colombian charts with the single “De Madrugada”. The video of the song had incredible replay value on MTV Latino.
The same year, Ekhymosis recorded a rock version of the National Anthem of Colombia, which caused controversy among some but was well-received among Colombian youth.
Ekhymosis was the chosen band to open for Bon Jovi in November of that year, but due to the murder of the politician Alvaro Gómez the band decided not to play in order to allow the concert to finish earlier.
The next year, the band released their unplugged album, entitled “Acústico”, and Ekhymosis decided to go to Los Angeles where they played in local pubs and began recording their new album.
In 1997, the band, now with four members (Juan Esteban, Andrés, Toby and José) recorded in L.A their self-titled album, which saw the re-makes of three of their best songs (”Solo”, “Sin Rencores”, “De Madrugada”) and new ones, the most remarkable being “La Tierra”, known by some fans as “the second Colombian Anthem”.
The band was at its peak, but little knew the fans that those were the last days of one of the most important bands in Colombia.
In 1998, Ekhymosis won 3 Shock Awards (Best National Group, Best Song for “La Tierra”, and Best Composer for Juan Esteban).
Some months later, due to internal problems in deciding the future of the band, Ekhymosis disbanded. Juan Esteban, then, began his solo career as Juanes; the drummer of the band, Jose Lopera, worked with him on his first album, and has continued to work with Juanes to this day; the guitarist of Ekhymosis, Toby, started to play with Juanes on his second album and has continued with Juanes as well.
Juanes has been known to perform Ekhymosis songs at his concerts, namely “Solo” and “La Tierra”.

Emil Sitka (December 22, 1914 – January 16, 1998) was a veteran American actor who appeared in hundreds of movies, short films, and television shows, and is best known for his numerous appearances with the Three Stooges—nearly 40. He is one of only two actors to have worked with all six Stooges (Shemp Howard, Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Curly Howard, Joe Besser, Curly Joe DeRita) on film in the various incarnations of the group (Harold Brauer was the other). In fact, Emil Sitka became one of the Stooges himself, although briefly. He is remembered mostly for a line of dialogue he keeps repeating in the Three Stooges short, Brideless Groom, where he appears as the justice of the peace attempting to marry Shemp and Dee Green: “Hold hands, you lovebirds!”

Early years
Sitka, whose numerous appearances with the Three Stooges earned him the nickname “the Fourth Stooge,” was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania in 1914. He was the oldest of five children. His father, a coal miner, died of black lung disease when he was 12 years old, and his mother was hospitalized, unable to take care of the children. His siblings were placed in foster homes, but Sitka went to live in a church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with a Catholic priest for the next few years. At this time, he became an altar boy and made plans to enter the priesthood, and had his first acting opportunity in the church’s annual Passion Play. At the age of 16, he and one of his brothers travelled across the U.S.A., riding the rails hobo-style, looking for work. After a year, they returned to Pittsburgh, where Sitka found a job working in a factory. He stayed there until the great St. Patrick’s Day Pittsburgh Flood of 1936, after which he departed to pursue his dream of acting in Hollywood, California.
Early acting experience
Sitka found inexpensive lodging in a small acting theater, doing handiwork to pay his rent, and gradually acting in small parts in the theater. With time and experience, the parts became larger, and eventually Sitka was directing plays as well. Since the theater did not pay, Emil always kept a job as a civil engineer to pay the bills as well as his acting career at night. By 1946, he had played dozens, if not hundreds of roles; this breadth of experience would help him in his later film career, playing everything from butler to lawyer to businessman to construction worker.
In films
In 1946, Sitka was leading his own acting troupe when he was spotted by a talent scout for Columbia Pictures. He was told to contact Jules White, director of many of the Three Stooges short films and head of Columbia Shorts Department, to be cast in a short film that White was directing — starring Barbara Jo Allen as her character “Vera Vague”, not the Three Stooges. The short film, Hiss and Yell, was nominated for an Academy Award. Several months and many films later, he was cast in his first Three Stooges film — Half-Wits’ Holiday. At the time, Sitka did not know who the Three Stooges were.
Sitka’s first Three Stooges film—and Curly Howard’s last
Half-Wits Holiday dealt with the idea of two professors betting on the outcome of turning the Three Stooges into gentlemen—with predictable results. Sitka played Sappington, the upper-crust butler, who was an excellent foil for the Three Stooges—and the target of several pies as well. Sitka’s most famous scene was when he approached a woman with a cocktail and stated, “Your drink madam,” and was plastered with a pie. Without changing expression he says, “Pardon me” and walks off. Sadly, Curly Howard suffered a stroke during filming, which is why he is not seen in the second half of this short film. Despite this bittersweet beginning, Sitka went on to appear in dozens of Three Stooges short films, as well as most of their feature films and the live action segments for The New Three Stooges 1965 cartoon series. He worked in both short films and feature films with others as well, including Lucille Ball, Milton Berle, Red Skelton, Tony Curtis, Alan Hale, Walter Brennan, Dan Blocker, Joey Bishop, Bob Denver, and many others. However, Sitka is best remembered for his association with the Three Stooges, and with one line in particular (”Hold hands, you lovebirds!”).
“Hold hands, you lovebirds”
In the 1947 Three Stooges short Brideless Groom, Shemp Howard must be married before 6:00 p.m. in order to inherit $500,000.00. After striking out, Shemp finally finds a girl willing to marry him, and they rush off to a justice of the peace (Sitka). As he starts the ceremony, telling the couple to “hold hands, you lovebirds”, the other girls that turned down Shemp’s proposal burst in, having heard of the inheritance. A free-for-all then ensues, with poor Sitka being struck again and again, attempting to start the ceremony, each time more disheveled and his “hold hands, you lovebirds” a little weaker. Because of the widespread distribution of this short (it is one of four Three Stooges shorts that slipped into public domain and was broadcast countless times on local television stations as a result—one station in Richmond, Virginia ran it almost every Sunday afternoon for years in the 1980s), this scene is the one that Sitka has become best known for. Notably, a clip of this short is featured in Pulp Fiction, for which Sitka’s name even appears in the credits as “Hold Hands You Lovebirds”. He continued his association with the Stooges for the next 25 years, and in 1975, was offered the chance to finally join the trio.
The middle stooge
Promotional picture taken in 1975 (after Larry Fine’s death), from left to right, Curly Joe DeRita, Moe Howard (who died shortly thereafter) and Emil Sitka.
Larry Fine had suffered a stroke during the filming of Kook’s Tour. Moe Howard asked Sitka if he could create a character to become the new “middle stooge” to replace the ailing Larry. Sitka accepted the invitation and became an official member of the Three Stooges; publicity photos of Sitka in this capacity with Howard and Curly Joe DeRita were circulated. Sitka named his character “Harry” (rhymes with “Larry”) and thought of him as being extremely conscientious to the point of ridiculousness. Two feature film offers for this reconstituted Three Stooges were considered, but this version of the group never acted together on film (one of the film offers was Blazing Stewardesses, which featured the surviving members of the Ritz Brothers after the Stooges were forced to bow out). The Three Stooges officially ended with the death of Moe Howard in 1975.
Later years
Sitka continued with the acting career, more out of love for acting than the need for money (including a cameo as a supermarket customer in the 1989 horror film Intruder, in which he said his signature line), appearing in films as late as 1992. He was in demand at various Three Stooges conventions, and had numerous requests from Three Stooges fans to appear at their wedding to say “Hold hands, you lovebirds!”
While hosting several Stooge fans in his home in June 1997, Sitka suffered a massive stroke and never regained consciousness. He died peacefully on January 16, 1998 in Camarillo, California. As a tribute to his tenure with the Stooges, Sitka’s gravestone reads “Hold hands, you lovebirds!”
Personal life
Sitka and first wife Donna Driscoll married in the 1940s and divorced in the 1960s. He married longtime girlfriend Edith Weber in the 1970s; they were married until her death in 1981.
Sitka had six children: daughters Eelonka and Little-Star; and sons Rudigor, Storm, Darrow, and Saxon. Saxon carries on his father’s legacy by appearing at Stooge conventions as often as possible.

Karde? Türküler (translated Songs of Fraternity) was conceived in 1993 as a series of concerts given by the music branch of the Folklore Club at Bo?aziçi University in Istanbul, Turkey.
The diverse ethnic groups in this ancient part of the world initially gave cause for the concerts to have artists perform interpretations of Anatolian folksongs in Turkish, Arabic, Kurdish, Assyrian, Azerbaijani, Georgian and Armenian.
Under the auspices of the Bo?aziçi Performing Arts Ensemble (BGST), formed in 1995, the program used the concert stage to advance the ideals of common ancestry and celebration of diversity as a foil to cultural polarization and ethnic tension.
Forthwith, the musical heritage of the Laz, Georgian, Circassian, Roma, Macedonian and Alevi cultures were all incorporated into the program.
The scholarly collection and research of the diverse folklore traditions of the region is an important part of BGST’s activities, but Karde? Türküler has been intent on forging its own music tradition as well.
