The song's melody was inspired by the timeless figure of Elvis Presley, with Hammond imagining it as being sung by Presley at the opening of the Olympics. It appeared on the album 1988 Summer Olympics Album: One Moment in Time, produced in conjunction with NBC Sports' coverage of the Seoul games and which, in addition to Whitney Houston who sang it live at the main ceremony, also featured artists such as: The Four Tops, The Bee Gees, Eric Carmen, Taylor Dayne and the film composer John Williams. The track is an anthem for believing in yourself against all odds as Houston asks for "One moment in time/when I'm racing with destiny/Then, in that one moment of time, I will feel eternity."
The video for the song does not show Houston performing the song but is a basic collage of clips from previous Olympic ceremonies. It opens with footage of Olympic games from 1924 and 1964 until the lighting of the cauldron from the 1988 games is shown which fades from black and white to color. As the song plays throughout, footage from the games in 1988 and 1984 are shown. When the chorus is sung for the last time, midway through it, scenes of the awarding from 1984 and 1988 are shown. The song video ends with the 1988 Olympic Cauldron blazing.
Chart performance[edit]
"One Moment in Time" was released by Arista Records in August 1988 as the first single from The 1988 Summer Olympics Album: One Moment in Time, the soundtrack to the Games in Seoul, South Korea.[1] The song debuted at number 57 on the Billboard Hot 100, the issue dated September 10, 1988.[2] Nine weeks later, it peaked at number five on the chart, the issue date of November 12, 1988, becoming Houston's tenth top 10 hit on the Hot 100, and spent 17 weeks on the chart.[3] It also debuted on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs (formerly "Hot Black Singles") at number 78, the issue dated September 17, 1988, and six weeks later reached a peak of 22, her lowest position on the R&B chart at the time.[4] On the issue date of November 5, 1988, the single peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary chart, making it her seventh number-one single on the chart, and stayed on the top for two weeks.[5][6] It ranked number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100 Year-End chart of 1988.[7]
Worldwide, it was a big hit. In the United Kingdom, the song entered the UK Singles Chart at number 24, the week ending date of September 24, 1988, and within four weeks of its release reached the top position, a peak it maintained for two weeks, becoming Houston's third UK number-one single.[8][9] The single was certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for shipments of 200,000 copies on October 1, 1988.[10] According to The Official Charts Company, the single has sold 400,000 copies in the country.[11] In Germany, it debuted at number 58 on the Media Control Top 100 Singles chart, the week dated September 26, 1988, and the following week went straight into the top ten.[12] On October 24, 1988, the fifth week of its release, the song reached number one on the chart and stayed there for two weeks, making it her second German number-one hit.[13] The single was certified Gold for shipments of 250,000 copies or more by the Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI) in 1988.[14] Across Europe, "One Moment in Time" was successful, topping the European Hot 100 Singles chart for five weeks. It peaked inside the top five in Austria,[15] Belgium,[16] Italy,[17] Norway,[18] Sweden,[19] and Switzerland,[20] and reached top ten in France[21] and the Netherlands.[22] But the single became a minor hit in Oceania region, peaking at number 53 and 34 on the singles chart, in Australia and New Zealand, respectively.[23][24] The song re-entered the UK Singles Chart for week ending February 18, 2012 following Houston's death.[25]
Also following Houston's death, Entertainment Weekly published a list of her 25 best songs and ranked it #14 because: "The Seoul Olympics needed an anthem, and Houston rose to meet the challenge with this majestic carpe diem chest-thumper. The song, a staple of sports montages, yielded one of Houston's all-time best performances at the 1989 Grammys ceremony."[26]
Live performances[edit]
1989: Houston performed the song at the opening of the 31st Grammy Awards on February 22, 1989, where she was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female.[27] This performance was broadcast live on CBS and released on the videos and CD: Grammy's Greatest Moments, Vol II (1994),[28][29] and Whitney: The Greatest Hits (2000).[30] It also appears on the CD/DVD Live: Her Greatest Performances.
1990: She also performed the song during Sammy Davis Jr.'s 60th Anniversary Celebration in Show Business, taped at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on November 13, 1989 and broadcast on ABC, February 4, 1990.[31][32]
1992: Houston performed the song live during the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games
1997: Houston performed the song again at the US Open Tennis Championships: the Arthur Ashe Stadium Inauguration Ceremonies on August 25, 1997. While the past US Open tennis champions appeared on screen, she dedicated the song to the legendary tennis players and about 23,000 audience.[33]
Other versions[edit]
A British pop group, the Shadows did an instrumental version on their 1989 album, Steppin' to the Shadows: 16 Great Tracks As Only the Shadows Can Play Them.[34]
In popular culture[edit]
The song was played during a montage of highlights at the end of NBC Sports' coverage of the 1988 World Series after the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Oakland Athletics four games to one. The song was also played during the 1995 Baltimore Orioles game when Cal Ripken broke Lou Gehrig's consecutive played games record.
Appropriately for the song's origins as an Olympic anthem, Olympic gold medal-winning heptathlete Denise Lewis selected the song as one of her eight Desert Island Discs in February 2012. That same month, the song featured at the beginning of the 2012 Brit Awards at London's O2 Arena in tribute to Houston who had died earlier in the month by playing the song accompanied with a 30-second-video montage of her music videos.[35]

Storylines[edit]
David is the son of Martin (Sean Wilson) and Gail Platt (Helen Worth). David was born on Christmas Day 1990. Martin's friend Carmel Finnan (Catherine Cusack) tried to kidnap David. She also posed as his mother to other characters. Carmel then tries to frame Gail for pushing her down the stairs and is revealed to be mentally ill. In 2000, David becomes jealous of the attention begin paid to his newborn niece Bethany Platt (Amy and Emily Walton) is receiving. He decides to gain attention by getting arrested for shoplifting. In 2001, Gail and Martin divorced after Martin has an affair with Rebecca Hopkins (Jill Halfpenny). David is unhappy and begins misbehaving in the hope that they would get back together. David becomes the target of a school bully, and despite Gail's advice to ignore the bully, he becomes violent and gets into fights. His behaviour worsens when Gail marries Richard Hillman (Brian Capron) in July 2002, but he comes to accept Richard. In March 2003, Richard is revealed to be a serial killer, and tries to kill himself, Gail, David, Bethany and her mother and David's sister Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) by driving them into the local canal. Gail, Sarah, David and Bethany are all rescued while Richard drowns. In the years following David develops a penchant for lying and scheming.
He is unhappy with Gail's relationship with Phil Nail (Clive Russell) he begins a hate campaign against Phil. David does not trust Phil as a result of Richard's behaviour. Phil reaches breaking point with David and throws him up against a wall, threatening to beat him up. David tells Gail, but Phil lies to her, and Gail believes him and slaps David, unaware that he is telling the truth. Gail receives a card addressed from Richard, she suspects Phil of sending the cards. Realising David is behind the scam, Phil throws David across the table in front of Gail. An angry Gail ends their relationship. The Platt family still receive cards from Richard and Gail realises David is the culprit. Gail blames herself for David's behaviour. In December 2006, David discovers Sarah's grandmother Ivy Tilsley's (Lynne Perrie) diary and reads it, and is shocked that Gail had wanted to abort him, but he understands this after Gail told him that Ivy had been having a rough time since the death of her son and Gail's husband, Brian Tilsley (Christopher Quinten). He develops romantic feelings for Maria Sutherland (Samia Smith), but is annoyed she is enjoying an affair with Charlie Stubbs (Bill Ward). Charlie threatens David into silince. David tries to blackmail Charlie, who tries drowning David in a bath to rid of him, but Maria walks in and saves him. In January 2007, Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) murders Charlie, staging it to look like self-defence. David offers to testify for Tracy that he saw Charlie attack her, on the condition that she sleep with him. Tracy agrees but the prosecution prove David's testimony to be lies.
In January 2008, David begins a relationship with Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan) and she becomes pregnant. In March 2008, Gail pays for an abortion and they decide not to tell David. He finds out and in an argument he pushes Gail down the stairs. He persuades Tina to give him an alibi but she ends their romance. David smashes various vehicles and windows on the Street, attacks Ken Barlow (William Roache) and hits a policewoman. He is sentenced to four months in a Young Offenders Institution. When he is released, Tina reconciles with him but face more issues when a jealous David reads her emails. He dates Amber Kalirai (Nikki Patel) in an attempt to make Tina jealous, which has the desired effect and they get back together.
In November 2008, David feuds with the Windass family when they refuse to pay for work Tina's father Joe McIntyre (Reece Dinsdale) has carried out. David threatens Eddie (Steve Huison) and Anna Windass (Debbie Rush) with a crowbar. Len (Conor Ryan) and Gary Windass (Mikey North) steal Joe's work tools in retaliation. David then destroys their kitchen, so the Windass family remove the kitchen from the house. When Gail and Anna are forced to call a truce to avoid more problems. David spends time away from Weatherfield when Tina wants nothing more to do with him. Upon his return he becomes jealous of Tina and Gary's friendship. David frames Gary for theft and also tricks him into buying stolen goods. He then enlists Gary to commit robbery, which goes wrong when Gail's father Ted Page (Michael Byrne), interrupts them, calls the police and has a heart attack. Gary decides to confess to the police, which leads to David being arrested. David becomes jealous when Tina begins a relationship with Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas). David discovers that Joe is addicted to prescription medication and agrees to supply him with drugs aslong as he tries to break Tina and Jason up. In February 2010, Joe commits suicide, but the police presume he has been murdered and arrest Gail. David has to scheme in order to prove Gail's innocence. In late 2010, Tina begins a relationship with Graeme. This upsets David and he feels betrayed. David suffers a black out while driving and knocks Graeme over. No one believes David's versions of events the police arrest him for attempted murder. Before the court case is about to begin David passes out again and everyone begins to realise he was telling the truth.
David returns from a holiday engaged to Kylie Turner (Paula Lane). Gail is angry and tries to convince David to change his mind. David and Kylie then get married in April 2011. David then fights to take custody of Kylie's son Max Turner (Harry McDermott), but ends up feuding with her half-sister Becky McDonald (Katherine Kelly, with Kylie trying to avoid it. David insists that Steve and Becky aren't fit to look after Max, proving this when he saves Max from being run over. David has to deal with Gail and Kylie feuding. But when he learns that Gail has tried to bribe Kylie to leave, he threatens to leave home. Kylie gets a job at the salon with David. He is upset when Max is put up for adoption and she does not want to prevent this. He convinces her they must change their ways and convince social services to allow Max to live with them.
In August 2013, David discovers that Kylie has slept with Nick but does not confront them. He vandalises Nick's flat and writes poison pen letters to his wife Leanne. Nick tells David he knows he is behind the trouble and suggests they discuss it with Kylie. To prevent Kylie from finding out David causes a car accident. Nick is left in a coma and permanent brain damage. David learns he is Lily's biological father but when Kylie discovers his acts of revenge she throws him out. Following their reconciliation, Max is diagnosed with ADHD in August 2014 and Kylie becomes addicted to his medication. He restricts Kylie's access to the medication but she compensates with an amphetamine addiction. He throws Kylie out and she leaves Weatherfield on Christmas Day 2014.
In January 2015, Max's father Callum Logan (Sean Ward) arrives and wants access to Max. When David refuses, Callum starts a custody battle which begins a violent feud. Kylie returns in May 2015 and helps strengthen David's claim to Max. Their feud escalates, and he manipulates Sarah and Bethany (now Lucy Fallon). When they try to frame Callum for a crime in September 2015, he attacks Sarah and Kylie kills Callum to protect her. David decides to help cover the murder up and the bury his body down a man hole in their home. When a car crash occurs in May 2016, rescue workers find Callum's body.[1] David is initially the main suspect, but they manage to frame another of Callum's enemies who happens to be dead. In July 2016, Kylie decides she cannot live in the house Callum died in any longer. David agrees to relocate their family to Barbados. Their plans are ruined when Clayton Hibbs (Callum Harrison) stabs Kylie and she dies in David's arms. David then attacks Clayton who is then charged with Kylie's murder. Gail is concerned about David and his calm attitude towards planning Kylie's funeral.
In October 2016, David wants revenge for Kylie's murder, believing their will be no justice for Kylie. He publicly names Clayton, despite Clayton being a minor, as Kylie's killer and attempts to kill Macca whilst he's in hospital. David plans his final act of revenge on Clayton by crashing his new car into the police van Clayton is in whilst igniting a large amount of petrol to blow them both up. After he makes a suicide video, Gail, Nick and Sarah see it and lock David in the Bistro cellar until the trial is over. After tricking Gail into thinking that he has committed suicide, David escapes the Bistro, gets into his car that is covered in petrol and drives off. However, as he speeds along, David spots Lily on the road and swerves to avoid her, but ends up flipping the car, which lands on Lily and Gary (who had attempted to get Lily to safety). Some of the residents are able to get Gary and Lily out as David manages to get out of the car. However, a spark causes the car to catch fire and cause an explosion, setting Anna on fire and badly injuring her, whilst David looks on in horror. Sarah admits to Gary, who she is in a relationship with, what David did, but Sarah persuades him not to tell anyone for the sake of Max and Lily. David inherits £20,000 from a client who dies, as well as a dog. Gary finds out from Sarah about the money, so David gives Anna and Kevin £19,000. In 2017, he begins a relationship with Shona Ramsey (Julia Golding).
Development[edit]
Male rape[edit]
In August 2017, producer Kate Oates announced that she was working on another controversial storyline, two months before Bethany Platt’s (Lucy Fallon) child sexual exploitation storyline came to an end. Oates has expressed her fears about how viewers will take the subject of the storyline; “I am still scared but I think that the trepidation that I feel about is useful. It’s one of those storylines that makes you check what you are doing and it will make people talk about it - we will seek a lot of advice and we have talked about it a lot as a team. So it is a good thing that I feel a bit scared about it as it means that everything we do with it will be done in a very considered way and I hope that will come across.”
In December 2017, it was announced that Bethany’s uncle David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) will become the victim of male rape by a new local mechanic named Josh, who will also get the street residents ready for a boxing match. The crew of the show will be working closely with male rape charity Survivors Manchester to make sure that the storyline is handled accurately. Manchester Evening News reported; “There won’t be any sexually explicit scenes, what has happened to David will be implied by his reaction and behavior when he wakes up the next day and starts to remember some of what happened. With Josh still on the street, David struggles to deal with the shame of what has happened to him. This is a big storyline for Jack and everyone is determined to get it right.”
In January 2018, it was announced that the role of Josh was offered to actor Ryan Clayton; he made his first onscreen appearance during the episode broadcast on 26th January 2018. Josh arrived at Webster’s Auto Center to apply for a job after the murder of local mechanic Luke Britton (Dean Fagan). Josh decided to do a charity boxing match in honor of Luke’s memory, and he later met David at the Rovers Return Inn. David later signed up to be a part of the boxing match, and later bonded with Josh during training sessions, which caused problems between him and his girlfriend Shona Ramsey (Julia Goulding).
Reception[edit]
Fearing real-life imitation of the scene in which David was tortured by Charlie Stubbs, many formal complaints were filed by viewers with the Government’s Office of Communications. In the end, "Coronation Street was cleared by TV watchdogs after 31 complaints about scenes of 'bullying and torture'". Investigators eventually ruled that the torture scenes "were editorially justified by plot development, characters involved and the manner of editing."[2]
Tony Stewart of the Daily Mirror refers to the character as "David Pratt" when writing reviews of any storyline he features in, due to the character's way of seemingly always getting away with outlandish things. In magazine articles he is often referred to as "Demon David", "Teen Tormenter" or "Psycho Platt".[3][4] In August 2017, Shepherd was longlisted for Best Actor and Funniest Male at the Inside Soap Awards.[5] He did not progress to the viewer-voted shortlist.[6]

Golden Snowball Award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Golden Snowball Award is an annual award presented to the city in Upstate New York that receives the most snowfall in a season. The original award was the result of a friendly competition of National Weather Service offices in Upstate. It was originally conceived after the Great Lakes Blizzard of 1977. After the Rochester and Syracuse offices closed in the mid-1990s, the competition died out.
The award was revived during the 2002–2003 snowfall season, in which Syracuse won. It had won every year from then through the 2010–2011 season as well. In the 2011–2012 season, Rochester was the first city other than Syracuse to win since the award's revival. Binghamton won the award for the 2016-17 season. The prize is accompanied by a ceremonial $100 check to one of that city's school's hat and mitten drive. They also receive temporary possession of a trophy for the year; the original competition's trophy went missing, prompting its replacement with a new one donated by a trophy shop in Syracuse. The current Golden Snowball trophy resides in Binghamton City Hall.
Compared to Syracuse's average snowfall of 123.8 inches, or nearly 10 feet per year, New York City's annual snow average is a relatively small 2–3 feet per year in the city and about 3–4 feet per year in nearby suburbs. This is due to a number of factors, including lower latitude and oceanic influence keeping much of the precipitation as rain in the winter, combined with distance from the Great Lakes keeping the city well away from the influence of lake-effect snow. For the first time ever, during the 2005–2006 winter season New York City did have more snowfall than Albany, mainly due to the Blizzard of 2006, which was the city's biggest snowfall to date, while Albany was on the extreme northern fringe.
The cities that compete for the award are
Albany
Binghamton
Buffalo
Rochester
Syracuse
Until the 2006–2007 season, several smaller cities also competed for a smaller award, that includes a $50 check. These are:
Fulton
Oswego
Utica
Watertown
