DESCRIPTION:I will present a collection of new results obtained with diffe
 rent tools to describe different aspects of perturbative QCD. The consiste
 nt combination of tree-level matrix elements and parton showers is a key f
 eature of the Sherpa Monte Carlo event generator. Using very recent Tevatr
 on data Sherpa predictions for vector bosons plus jets are shown and empha
 size the importance of the CKKW merging approach implemented in Sherpa. In
  the 2nd part I discuss a new shower model for hadronic collisions based o
 n the evolution of perturbative colour dipoles. Encouraging data compariso
 ns are presented. In the last part I present a computer program\, which nu
 merically evaluates colour-ordered gluon one-loop amplitudes based on the 
 unitarity method proposed by Ellis\, Giele\, Kunszt and Melnikov. In all c
 ases the basic principles underlying the different calculational methods a
 re briefly discussed.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/1673/
